Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 28 This isn't cheating, is it?

Xiao Hong was left behind because the guild had a rule that non-personal spirit beasts could not be brought into the testing grounds.

Therefore, Lin Chen entrusted Xiao Hong to Huang Xiaotian and the others.

The insecure little fox ultimately chose to follow Xia Yu, perhaps because it felt the other was more powerful.

Finally, Lin Chen went inside.

Li Zhen didn't go inside because there were staff members there. He glanced at Lin Chen's spirit beast and said to Huang Xiaotian:
“I don’t deny his intelligence, but his spirit beast has determined that he is not suitable for information-related tasks. This is the world of beast taming, and the spirit beast determines his upper limit and potential, unless he chooses to change his spirit beast.”

Huang Xiaotian said nonchalantly, "Just you wait."

Li Zhen was speechless; he really didn't understand where Huang Xiaotian got his confidence from.

Information-type spirit beasts will be a crucial part of this test.

"Dear trainees, this is the simulated training ground we have set up: the Wild Boar Secret Realm."

Many people laughed when they heard "grassroots pig".

The Wild Boar is a common basic spirit beast on Earth and the cheapest battle pet, bar none.

However, Beastmaster Guilds, major powers, academies, and so on all like to use Wild Boars in newcomer assessments, which makes the Beastmasters who have contracted Wild Boars very frustrated.

A saying also circulates in the ancient kingdom of Cangling:

Thanks to the Beastmaster Guild, everyone knows the weaknesses of the Wild Boar and has studied them.

Therefore, beast tamers who contract wild boars are inherently at a disadvantage.

"Quiet!"

The staff member seemed very unhappy, glancing at everyone, and his voice changed from cheerful to stern.

"Here is a map that includes the location of their droppings, water sources, areas with medicinal herbs, and the terrain."

"This time, only three people will be selected, and speed will be the deciding factor."

"Now, begin!"

At the staff's command, the trainees immediately sprang into action.

Some instructed their spirit beasts to find excrement.

Some went to find water sources and analyze the food and living habits of the wild boars.

Some sat on the ground, lost in thought, like Lin Chen.

Little White also lowered its head, pretending to think about how it could help the Beastmaster.
After thinking for a long time, Niu Niu gave up.

What can it possibly think with its little head?

Lie down.

However, after only five minutes of contemplation, all nine students left, and it was only then that Lin Chen got up.

The staff kept an eye on Lin Chen, not because Li Zhen had specifically instructed them, but because this was the first time they had seen a plow-horned beast in all the information group assessment tests they had been conducting there.

Seeing Lin Chen approach, he asked, "I've said what I needed to say."

The meaning is clear: there are no further prompts.

Lin Chen said, "I already know the answer."

The staff member was taken aback, thinking he must be joking.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen went directly behind the staff member, where there was a pile of weeds.

The staff member immediately broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Lin Chen in disbelief.

silence.

silence.

Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian stood there quietly, both looking very confident.

After a short while, hearing footsteps, Li Zhen said, "Why aren't you inside? Why are you out here doing this? Hmm?"

Li Zhen thought it was a staff member, but he didn't expect it to be Lin Chen.

"Give up when faced with difficulties?" Li Zhen was very happy.

You can't let any cancerous elements into the guild; this is a bloody battlefield.

"Lin Chen?" Huang Xiaotian was very surprised to see Lin Chen.

He shared the same thought as Li Zhen: that Lin Chen had given up.

Li Zhen didn't discourage Lin Chen. Instead, he said, "You did a great job last time. I can consider including you in the external staff. If there are any more missions like that, I'll come back to you." "Do external staff also get Beast Spirit Pills?" Lin Chen asked.

"Of course not." Li Zhen's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Do you think Beast Spirit Pills are as common as cabbages?"

"Then I'll join the internal staff," Lin Chen said.

Li Zhen frowned, thinking to himself, "Is Lin Chen going to force me?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen took out a pass token and asked, "I've passed. Where can I collect the Beast Spirit Pill?"

Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian, who were initially stunned, were both taken aback and then looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.

"You...you passed?" Huang Xiaotian stammered.

No way.

He had only been inside for five minutes.

Back then, Huang Xiaotian, who was known as the little genius of Nine Star City, also needed half an hour.

Finding the entrance to the secret realm is no easy task.

"Did you give him an answer?" Li Zhen immediately looked at Huang Xiaotian.

Huang Xiaotian immediately started cursing and said, "The answer is different every time, how am I supposed to know?"

"That seems to be true." Li Zhen remembered that the answer was only decided yesterday, and only he and his staff knew about it.

"How did you know?" Huang Xiaotian looked at Lin Chen expectantly.

"Do you really want to tell me?" Lin Chen looked at the two of them.

“One of the assessment criteria for the information team is the reasoning process, which is very important. We must rule out the possibility that you are cheating.” Li Zhen’s expression was very serious.

"Let me explain briefly then."

“Once inside, the set design was carefully selected. You deliberately decorated the staff area as a small restricted area to mislead people. The rules do not mention the word ‘restricted area’.”

"Secondly, when the staff was talking about the Grass Boar, many people were laughing. The staff member, who was originally mild-mannered, became very angry. I think he must be a Grass Boar Beastmaster."

At this point in Lin Chen's speech, both Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian fell silent.

This isn't a clue; this is pushing someone.

but
Such powerful observation and reasoning skills.

"Third, human nature. Eighty percent of the people who set up the assessment have a psychology of reversal."

"They hope to provide an unexpected answer and surprise people."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who designed this answer."

Lin Chen pointed at Li Zhen.

"He's the vice president," Huang Xiaotian added at the opportune moment, a sly smile playing on his lips.

Li Zhen is indeed that kind of person. He often sets strange and unusual answers in new employee assessments in order to achieve a surprising effect.

After realizing what had happened, Li Zhen blushed.

Lin Chen didn't press him further, and continued, "Fourth, based on the above, I suspect that the 'wild boar' playing the role of the answer this time is this staff member, so I took a look around to see where the boar could be hidden."

"The staff member is level 30, so the Grass Boar must also be level 30 or above. According to the records in the Beast Taming Manual, its weight and volume after successful evolution should be about the same as that of a strong adult ox."

"So it's easy to rule out other places."

Upon hearing the mention of cows, Xiaobai, who was buying soy sauce, looked up, thinking it was being called.

"No, how do you know it has successfully evolved?" Li Zhen asked.

"That's nonsense," Huang Xiaotian said before Lin Chen could answer. "Given your personality, if you hadn't successfully evolved, would you have been able to get in here?"

Li Zhen stood there, stunned, speechless.

So, the flaw was actually the question setter himself?
Huang Xiaotian laughed heartily, but Lin Chen didn't continue to stab him in the back. Instead, he smiled kindly and asked:

"I don't think this counts as cheating."

Li Zhen was mentally devastated and felt a chill run down his spine.

Huang Xiaotian smiled broadly; he knew.
Someone's going to have trouble sleeping tonight.

Little White looked at their expressions and held his head high.

Beast tamers feel proud of their spirit beasts' power, and spirit beasts feel the same way.

Lin Chen's answer can be summarized in one sentence:

I don't need to understand those wild boars, I only need to understand you!
