Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 417 This is so damn bullying!

Ye Bai was surprised to find that, in addition to his duties as a security guard and judge for the Young Scale Cup, he was even responsible for deciding the questions for the Young Scale Cup.

What exactly is Song Fu'an good for?!
Is this treating him like an animal?!

That's so damn unfair!

Ye Bai now has a strong urge to eat people, an intense urge to eat people, a bloodthirsty urge to eat people.

Damn it, could it be that his treatment of the saber-toothed tiger king was too dazzling and Song Fu'an made him work as a laborer?

Ye Bai originally intended to refuse outright, but faced with a substantial reward, even his proud back bent slightly.

Even the most upright and incorruptible person can be swayed by material desires.

"Ye Bai, the fees have been transferred. If you have any further objections, we can discuss it further!"

"In short, just tell me your request, and I'll grant it if I can."

The once bold and imposing Song Fu'an, with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, now appeared much more refined in Ye Bai's eyes.

Indeed, the power of money is boundless, and even Ye Bai is no exception.

After all, everything costs money!

He also plans to continue opening breeding centers to make money!
"Since the Young Lin Cup is separate from the Young Phoenix Cup, we have to reconsider many of the events."

“The project we discussed last time was completely rejected by the higher authorities because one of the judges was involved in corruption and bribery.”

"So now I have no choice but to turn to you for help."

"You are also the chief judge for this Young Scale Cup, and you were once the champion of the Young Scale Cup and the world-class researcher competition. Your words carry a lot of weight."

"Your competition design will have a higher chance of being approved by your superiors."

Song Fu'an explained that he would not have sought help from Ye Bai if he hadn't been desperate and grasped at straws.

The Young Lin Cup is about to begin, and if rumors spread at this time that the Young Lin Cup is not going to work, it will have a certain impact on Song Fu'an's reputation.

Song Fu'an could have gone even further, but only if this year's Youlin Cup went perfectly; otherwise, he risked being dismissed early.

This time, the security force was extremely strong, consisting of Sunflower Cleaning Company and the Beast Mercenary Group.

Even though the Twenty-Eight Constellations weren't involved in the security this time, Song Fu'an felt that the security measures were exceptionally strong.

Ye Bai thought for a moment, and realized that the highest-ranking leader was no higher than Marshal Qilin.

Since Marshal Qilin has entrusted me with full authority to handle matters related to the Young Qilin Cup, there is a high probability that the competition events will be approved, so this deal is not a loss.

So Ye Bai made a "brother, don't worry, leave it to me" expression.

For Ye Bai, this was truly a trivial matter.

Song Fu'an was so moved that he burst into tears. This huge sum of money was definitely worth it, and his anxious heart finally settled down.

Song Fu'an just had a sudden inspiration.

Because the judges who participated in the competition were arrested, the fees paid to invite these judges were left unused.

Therefore, Song Fu'an took a gamble and used the money as Ye Bai's reward.

As expected, Ye Bai agreed, which greatly reduced the difficulty.

However, Song Fu'an also told Ye Bai that their funds were running low, and the pets they had originally ordered could not be transported due to the hurricane.

Since Ye Bai happens to run a breeding shop, he also needs to make some preparations regarding pets.

Ye Bai...

The abacus beads actually bounced off his face.

Soon, after Ye Bai's series of maneuvers, the contents of the Young Scale Cup were slightly changed, but the essence remained the same.

The first competition event was still "Guess What, Guess What, Guess What".

The only difference is that the title has been changed to "A Study on the Methods and Feasibility of Assessing the Dangers of Beasts to Humans".

The second competition item was the usual pet breeding, except that the breeding cycle was slightly shorter.

According to the normal progress of the Young Scale Cup, the pet breeding cycle is about one month, but Ye Bai changed it to fifteen days.

Ye Bai will distribute the eggs of the black flea beetle and the dark mantis to each contestant, allowing them to breed excellent adults and study how to evolve into more suitable individuals.

Ye Bai's approach actually stemmed from two considerations.

The first aspect is how to hatch black fleas and dark mantises more quickly.

The second aspect is how to evolve these two strange beasts and then cultivate even more powerful parasites.

They need to breed parasites based on their characteristics so that they can actively attack their hosts.

This is Ye Bai's idea, which can provide strong support for his experiment.

After all, although he could see the evolutionary path of these pets through the Eye of Truth, he lacked the most important experimental data to support his observations.

The researchers—or rather, the engineers—of this competition can provide Ye Bai with strong support.

This is why Ye Bai chose this as the second theme.

The third theme is to test the attack intensity of these parasites and give corresponding scores.

Given Ye Bai's long list of titles, the higher authorities quickly approved the organizing committee's project.

Not long after, the Young Unicorn Cup Tournament began.

This year's contestants are significantly more numerous than Ye Bai's year, totaling four hundred.

With a large number of participants, the competition is bound to be exceptionally fierce.

This also put enormous pressure on the security team and the organizing committee.

The participants in the Young Lin Cup reside at the Sailboat Hotel in Tianhai City.

This Burj Al Arab hotel and the hotel in America are not owned by the same person; they just share the same name.

Giant sunflower fairy clones guarded every room of the Burj Al Arab hotel, disguising themselves as harmless sunflowers to secretly protect the safety of the contestants.

Even the exterior and lobby of the Burj Al Arab hotel are covered with glittering sunflowers.

The Beast Mercenary Group will act as a covert defense, protecting the safety of the contestants.

Ye Bai took charge of the security arrangements for the Young Scale Cup and managed everything in an orderly manner.

However, Ye Bai still felt a vague unease, thinking that the necromancer and the Spirit Saint might secretly sneak into the Young Scale Cup.

To ensure complete peace of mind during this competition, I need to rely on the intelligence system. I must find out who the Spirit Saint and the necromancer are impersonating.

The Spirit Saint is a veteran seventh-tier expert, and the necromancer has even reached the eighth tier.

If these two were to join forces, they might turn the entire Young Scale Cup upside down.

This would have a very negative impact on Ye Bai's reputation. Therefore, Ye Bai's idea was to take preventative measures, ideally by using the intelligence system to uncover the identities of the Spirit Saint and the necromancer.

Only by addressing these two issues at their source can the Youlin Cup be held smoothly, truly achieving a win-win situation for everyone.

Ye Bai had many thoughts in his mind, but his biggest thought was whether he could keep these two guys here forever.

In the early hours of the morning, new intelligence was released, and this time the intelligence was quite impressive.

[1. A Spirit Saint can divide their own soul and place the fragments into the bodies of those they possess, subtly manipulating them and altering their perceptions.]

2. A necromancer is skilled in summoning spirits and manipulating bones. He can place his own bones, crafted from adamantite, inside a human's body, thereby controlling the human to serve him.

[3. Every bone of the necromancer is engraved with necromancer prayers from the Bible of the Dead. This is the reason he can summon an army of the undead; each of his bones is essentially a top-tier necromancer spell.]

[4. The necromancer's call for the Evangelical Fellowship's leaders to help him attack Poseidon's Abyss stemmed from a hidden secret: the Abyss contained the tomb of a legendary lich, and the necromancer's adamantite scepter was actually the key to unlocking that tomb.]

5. The Spirit Saint has a rather Zen-like personality. He is more afraid of becoming a sacrifice in the Trinity Project. The Spirit Saint possesses the ability to foresee dreams, but this ability is unreliable.

Besides the Evangelical Fellowship and the Resurrection Fellowship, there are likely other underground organizations trying to infiltrate and abduct the nurturers.

Therefore, Ye Bai had to come up with a foolproof plan.

The necromancer's main purpose in attacking the Abyss of the Sea God is to obtain the treasures within the legendary Lich's Tomb, thereby advancing to the ninth rank and even becoming an even more powerful being.

As for why they were so determined to infiltrate this Young Scale Cup, it was mainly to seize some special talents through the blood sacrifice ritual.

This is probably also the condition that a necromancer must meet to enter the legendary Lich's Tomb.

Days passed by, and before long, the National Young Lin Cup Competition was about to begin.

At this time, Song Fu'an convened a group of committee members for a summary meeting.

The theme of the conference was to identify and address shortcomings.

"I'd like to offer two suggestions!"

"Preventing cheating is also a key focus of this competition. If we are not rigorous in doing so, it will be extremely unfair to the contestants."

"I would like to suggest that every contestant should go through a security check during the competition, and that they should be checked by equipment to see if they are carrying any cheat sheets."

"Of course, banning the contestants' pet spaces is also something we need to do."

"However, we can't generalize!"

"In case the contestants of the Young Scale Cup encounter trouble, they can use the power of their pets to protect themselves."

After listening, Song Fu'an nodded heavily: "We have already considered this. We will use metal detectors to conduct the inspection."

"If any contestant is found to have metal inside their body, and it is determined to be related to cheating, their score will be immediately disqualified."

"Does anyone have any objections? Raise your hands!"

At this point, Ye Bai did have some objections.

"Chairman Song, I actually have something to add. I hope to use a nano-metal instrument to test the contestants!"

After hearing Ye Bai's words, Song Fu'an hesitated for a moment and asked Ye Bai, "Can you tell me why you should do this?"

I knew that there were only a few nano-metal instruments in Yan Country, and they were all rare.

Currently, only the Imperial University laboratory has one readily available, which is treasured by the professors there.

If they touch their treasure, they'd fight Song Fu'an to the death.

"Of course there are, but there are too many people here and too much chatter. Do you really want me to talk about it here?"

Ye Bai smiled and offered a suggestion.

Only then did Song Fu'an realize that his question was somewhat inappropriate.

The necromancer was in high spirits lately because some new liches had emerged from his vast undead army.

This is one of the few high-ranking units in his undead army.

Even the original necromancer evolved from these ugly liches.

In his laboratory, he is dissecting a human.

The human was still conscious; he could feel the sharp bone knife cutting through his belly, leaving an extremely small wound.

The necromancer broke off a section of his thumb bone and inserted it directly into the human's wound.

The intense pain caused the man to break out in a cold sweat. He was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The necromancer then regretfully put down his bone knife.

He looked at the fine appearance before him: a youthful and vibrant body, golden hair, and emerald green pupils.

He was one of the contestants in the Young Scale Cup, but he was unlucky. While participating in some outdoor activities, he disturbed the interest of a necromancer, which led the necromancer to decide to turn him into a puppet, so that he would never be reincarnated.

However, there are many difficulties in implementing it.

For a necromancer to manipulate humans, he must possess a part of his own body.

That's why he cut off part of his finger to serve as the key to controlling humans or monsters.

This is the real reason why necromancers remain undefeated.

However, refined gold is a product of gold purification and has excellent magical malleability.

He deliberately replaced all the bones in his body with refined gold, which not only increased his defensive capabilities but also improved his spellcasting speed.

"This time I inserted the refined gold finger bone into this human's body. Ordinary metal detectors cannot detect this kind of thing."

"Even if it can be detected, it requires high-precision testing equipment. The organizing committee has held so many events, but they have never used such equipment. I should be able to get away with it."

"As long as I obtain the magical inheritance within the legendary lich's tomb, my strength will increase significantly."

The necromancer said with absolute certainty.

However, when the necromancer entered the competition venue, he immediately noticed a huge instrument placed at the entrance.

The necromancer was stunned.

Holy crap, this thing looks just like the high-precision metal detector in my lab.

Is this thing mass-produced?
This is a scam; it must be a fake.

The defense in this year's Young Scale Cup is not strong, so the necromancer thinks he should be able to easily sneak in.

However, the reality was the opposite of what was predicted. Ye Bai used the intelligence system to conduct extremely precise detection.

Soon, the contestant, who was being manipulated by the necromancer, was so frightened by the piercing buzzing sound that he fell to the ground.

Ye Bai once said that anyone who makes the metal detector beep should be immediately captured, locked in a dark room, and information extracted from them.

However, Ye Bai was somewhat surprised that the body parasitized by the necromancer could come back to life!
