Beast Tamer: Why is the intelligence system a game announcement?

Wang Jie stared at the ringing phone on the table, lost in thought.

After a long while, he finally frowned, picked up his phone, and answered the call.

"Feed? Who?"

He spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone. He was in such a bad mood that it was difficult for him to speak in a pleasant manner.

Unexpectedly, the other side did not respond immediately, but instead remained silent for a long time.

Only after the silence, which left Wang Jie feeling confused and uneasy, did a slightly young female voice sound from the other end of the phone. But the content of her words was chilling:

"Oh? The results are in. Let me see... Wang Jie, male, born in 1987 in Ningcheng, Jianghai Province, is currently a Pokémon battle teacher at Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School. His address is..."

"Wow, there are so many partners! Let me see... Tianyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, Tomorrow Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Card Elf Products Co., Ltd... The contact persons are..."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Jie felt a chill run down his spine, his fingers trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

"You...who are you?"

For a moment, his tone became respectful, and he cautiously inquired.

"Ah, it's not that important. Oh, by the way, you should be changing a student's weekly test score right now, right? Don't deny it, I can see what's on your end."

The woman's voice spoke casually, then calmly added, "..." In an instant, Wang Jie instinctively closed the document in front of him.

At the same time, he looked around, still shaken, and with a sudden grit of his teeth, he unplugged the computer completely.

"...Your action of unplugging the power was quite clumsy."

The woman's voice sounded rather strange, and for a moment, Wang Jie was even more astonished.

If it's not through mechanical sprites interfering with the internet? Then what is it...?

He picked up his phone and spoke, his voice trembling slightly:

"Excuse me, what exactly did I do to offend you?"

"Ah, actually, not really. It's just that I promised someone I'd just focus on my weekly tests and not worry about all the other little things..."

The woman's voice on the other end seemed to sigh: "As expected, someone still wanted to cause trouble. In the end, I've shot myself in the foot and now I have to clean up their mess."

Is that Lin Wu?!

In that instant, Wang Jie came to a shocking conclusion, and at the same time, an increasingly unsettling thought arose in his mind.

Could it be... that the other party is Lin Wu's backer?!

He's not backed by a drug dealer, but by a huge powerful backer?! But why would such a high and mighty figure take a fancy to a poor student?!

"I'll just be blunt."

Suddenly, the woman's tone changed, and she said in an unquestionable tone, "To be honest, I don't have a good impression of you."

"Therefore, I don't care whether you're the Pokémon battle instructor at Ningcheng No. 1 High School or not. If you want to stay in this position for a while longer, you'd better behave yourself."

"Don't cause any more trouble for that classmate named Lin Wu, understand? I don't really want to make this call a second time."

"Could you please explain to me... who exactly are you?"

"Oh, me?"

The other person seemed to smile slightly and replied calmly, "The Bai family."

The call ended with two words, followed by a series of busy tones. Wang Jie stared wide-eyed in astonishment, his heart filled with turmoil.

The Bai family…the Bai family of the capital?!

Lin Wu's powerful backer... turns out to be connected to the Bai family of the capital?!

At that moment, a strong sense of fear rose in Wang Jie's heart, and at that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

Is it too late to reconcile now?

On the other end of the phone, the girl stretched and lay back in the armchair, looking as leisurely as a salted fish.

"Thank you for your hard work today, you're so clever."

She smiled and patted the seven-hole ball next to her. Spiritual energy rose from the ball, as if expressing her joy.

Bai Miaomiao took a delicious sip of her cola, shifted to a more comfortable position, and sighed inwardly.

It has to be said that Ghost-type Pokémon are incredibly useful in many situations.

"However, speaking of which, Lin Wu seems to have had some conflict with that Zhang family kid today?"

She glanced at her phone, hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and tossed it aside.

"Forget it. Since he seems so confident, let him handle it himself."

"Well, as for Grandpa Zhang... sigh, that's beyond my control. Let Auntie deal with it; after all, he's the one she invested in."

Bai Miaomiao murmured to herself, irresponsibly putting the matter aside.

Hmm... I didn't agree to this anyway, so I'll ignore it. Managing all this stuff is exhausting!

Besides, she had a legitimate reason. She had to face the Bai family's year-end assessment, and all her energy had to be focused on that, did you know that?

Ah, speaking of the Bai family's assessment... sigh, another tiring day ahead. Oh well, maybe I should take it a little more seriously this time? If I don't hurry up and meet the deadline, I won't be able to continue slacking off so easily...

She lay leisurely on the armchair, took another sip of cola, and felt relaxed and content.

........................

Meanwhile, at the location of the playground.

By this time, the results had already been posted.

For a moment, everyone gathered around the results list, some happy and some sad. But almost everyone saw the name at the top of the list.

【Forest Mist】

[Beast Taming Space: 21 points; Mental Strength: 27 points; Combat Strength: 73 points]

[Total score 121, first place]

After receiving the unboxing gift from Bai Miaomiao, Wang Jie put in all his effort, adding every possible bonus point in the battle to Lin Wu, afraid of offending her, and was still on tenterhooks.

The final result was that Lin Wu's score exceeded the second place by a full fifty points!

This astonishing score immediately caused a huge uproar among the students. Even Zhou Tong stared at the score in disbelief.

"Holy crap, is Lao Lin that fierce?"

He stared at the score, his eyes wide, and turned around abruptly, intending to rush to find Lin Wu, but then he noticed a problem:

"Wait a minute... the scores have already been distributed, but where is the prison guard?"

So, where is Lin Wu right now?

The answer is that he was huddled in a corner of the teaching building looking at his phone.

Sitting alone in the classroom, Lin Wu picked up her phone, thought for a long time, and then opened the messaging app.

Then, he clicked into the call with Bai Su.

[Lin Wu: Professor Bai, if I want to get a second Pokémon soon, is there any way to do that?]

He put down his phone and waited for Bai Su's reply while silently pondering the situation.

The next few weeks will be a sprint towards qualifying for the competition in preparation for the monthly exam.

Then he would most likely have to fight Zhang Shun again... So, Lin Wu thought about it and felt that instead of worrying about the weekly test, the most urgent thing was to quickly prepare for the second Pokémon and the subsequent training.

Every second counts.

He must acquire the strength to contend with, or even defeat, Zhang Shun within a month. And most importantly, he must obtain a second Pokémon.

That's why he chose to ask Bai Su first, to see if she knew any good places.

[Bai Su: A second spirit?]

[Lin Wu: Hmm, Professor Bai, do you have any recommendations?]

[Bai Su: If I were to offer advice... generally speaking, a Beastmaster will consider a new attribute for their second spirit, and then usually stick to the previous attribute.]

[Bai Su: Recently, judging by the time, the annual tide in Ningcheng should be arriving soon.]

[Bai Su: You can check out the Tide Fishing Competition. For apprentice Beastmasters, it's a pretty good way to acquire spirits. If you're interested, I can help you prepare your entry qualification.]

Ocean tide?

Upon hearing Bai Su's words, Lin Wu was slightly taken aback. At the same time, she secretly memorized the name, intending to look it up later.

Then, he turned off his phone, closed his eyes, lay back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Okay...it's time to get moving."

After resting for a moment, he murmured to himself and sat up.

But at that very moment, in the void in front of Lin Wu, he saw lines of text flashing, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

[The new announcement has been released, all Beastmasters, please take a look!]

Has the announcement been updated?

Okay, let's see how this announcement has gone!
