Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1489
Chapter 1489. Chapter 1483: An Unexpected Trending Topic (Part 2)
On stage, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue as it typed rapidly on the keyboard.
A short while later, the keyboard stopped.
“Xunxun~”
The blue light in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes faded, and it grinned, calling out to indicate that the translation was complete.
The three judges looked at the screen and quickly gave scores, all of which were high.
“Clap clap clap!” Loud applause echoed throughout the venue.
“Xunxun~”
Xiao Xunbao happily waved and left the stage.
“Even with a translation like that, isn’t it the champion?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but say in front of the television.
In her opinion, Xiao Xunbao’s translation was flawless and incredibly fast; compared to the previous contestants, it was an absolute crushing victory.
“Tingbao hasn’t even appeared yet,” Michaela said calmly.
At the same time, on the television, a two-legged grass-type pet dressed in a formal suit held a microphone and called out:
“Luo Luo!”
Next, please welcome the last contestant.
Tingbao wriggled its body and flew onto the stage.
Qiao Sang looked at the television.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao, watching TV beside him, clenched his paws, looking nervous. “
Go! Go!
” The voice of the pets came through the loudspeaker.
When the sound stopped, the grass-like pet in formal attire said, “Luoluo.”
Please begin translating.
Tingbao didn’t start translating immediately, but first glanced at Xiao Xunbao in the contestant area.
“Xunxun!”
Xiao Xunbao felt the gaze and immediately shouted, indicating that it was good luck!
Tingbao looked away, opened its mouth, and spoke in a childish voice: “Among the first batch of pets selected to ride the starship, there is a group of Mud-like creatures. They were chosen because they can survive for a long time without food.”
As Tingbao translated, the audience’s eyes widened.
The judges also showed amazement and whispered among themselves.
“Xunxun~”
In the contestant area, Xiao Xunbao looked proud, turned its head, grinned, and called out to the contestant next to it, indicating that this was its little brother.
“Tingbao can actually translate such a long sentence!” Qiao Sang exclaimed with some surprise in front of the TV.
For the past two days, Tingbao had been translating based on her own words, and her sentences were usually quite short, never as long as the test question.
Michaela remarked, “She really has a talent for languages.”
On the TV screen, Tingbao finished translating, and the judges all gave her full marks.
“Xunxun!”
In the contestant area, Xiao Xunbao shouted excitedly, happy for Tingbao.
“Xianxian.”
At this moment, the pet beast next to her, which looked like a ball of yarn, sighed and barked, indicating, “Brother, don’t shout, its score is higher than yours.”
Xiao Xunbao’s body suddenly stiffened, but quickly relaxed, and it barked nonchalantly,
“Xunxun~”
The final results weren’t out yet.
According to the competition rules, the judges’ scores accounted for 50%, the mechanical-type pet beast guest scores based on overall performance for 30%, and the remaining 20% was given by the audience.
Xiao Xunbao was very confident in herself.
Five minutes later, on the stage, Tingbao, wearing the champion’s wreath and holding the trophy and certificate, looked completely bewildered.
“Xunxun.”
To its right, Xiaoxunbao, with the runner-up’s medal and wreath around its neck, held its certificate with a look of utter despair.
A click, and the photo was taken.
An hour later.
Hotel, suite.
“Xunxun!”
“Xunxun!”
Xiaoxunbao knelt on the floor, pounding the floor and wailing.
“Tingting.”
Tingbao stood by, somewhat at a loss.
“Qingqing!”
Qingbao, clutching its stomach, laughed heartily.
At the same time, a cheerful breeze blew around them.
“Alright, stop crying.” Qiao Sang handed it a tissue, comforting it, “Runner-up is good too.”
“Xunxun!”
“Xunxun!”
Hearing the words “runner-up,” Xiaoxunbao cried even harder.
Honestly, losing to any other contestant wouldn’t have bothered it, but losing to Lao Liu, who could barely speak two words yesterday, really upset it.
“You participated in this competition to build popularity,” Qiao Sang said gently. “Now that you’ve won second place, you’ve definitely gained some popularity, so you’ve achieved your goal.”
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao stopped crying, raised its head, its face still covered in tears and snot. It sniffed and barked, as if to say, “Really?
” “Of course it’s true,” Qiao Sang said against his conscience.
No matter what kind of competition it is, people basically only remember the champion, let alone this kind of small-scale competition. Little Xunbao’s participation in this competition was a waste.
Gangbao silently glanced at its beast tamer.
“Ya Ya?”
At this moment, Ya Bao and Lu Bao walked in. Seeing Little Xunbao with snot and tears streaming down its face, it was stunned at first, then showed an angry expression and barked, as if to say, “Who bullied you! I’ll go beat it up!
” “Qing Qing.”
Qing Bao floated to the side and barked, indicating that it hadn’t been bullied. It had just won second place, so it was crying.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao’s angry expression vanished upon hearing this. He called out, indicating it was no big deal, not a battle. Come on, let’s go train. We’ll win the battle championship someday.
“Xun Xun!”
Little Xun Bao quickly floated up, took the tissue from his Beastmaster, wiped away his tears, and called out, indicating that he suddenly felt that second place wasn’t so bad, and he wouldn’t need to train.
“Ting Ting.”
Ting Bao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Training is very important; you need to train more.
“Xun Xun,”
Little Xun Bao nodded and grumbled, indicating that it would definitely train during its training time.
Only then did Ya Bao show a satisfied expression.
“Ice Saint?”
Lu Bao glanced at Ting Bao and grumbled, indicating what result you achieved in the end.
Before Ting Bao could answer, Qing Bao grumbled first:
“Qing Qing.”
The sixth one is the champion.
“Ting Ting,”
Ting Bao nodded.
Lu Bao suddenly realized: “Ice Saint.”
So you beat Little Xun Bao.
Upon hearing this, Little Xun Bao’s lips pursed again, looking like it was about to cry.
It remembered that it was it was it that it had persuaded the sixth brother to participate in the competition.
“Tingbao is really amazing,” Qiao Sang exclaimed. “Yesterday, when translating, he was spitting out each word one by one, but he translated such a long passage fluently just now. He has really improved a lot. I feel that if Tingbao focuses on translation in the future, he will definitely become an S-level translator.”
“Qingqing,”
Qingbao nodded in agreement.
Tingbao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
It didn’t expect its own beast master to praise it. Originally, it thought that it would be scolded for beating its boss, since it was just a participant in this competition, and its boss would be more useful if he won the championship.
“Ahem!”
Michaela sat on the sofa and coughed twice.
Qiao Sang turned to look at her.
Not to mention this topic, Michaela gave her a look.
Qiao Sang didn’t understand what it meant, but she still understood the meaning of Michaela’s look. She changed the subject and said, “You guys worked hard in the competition. Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll order some over.”
“Tingting,” Tingbao called out, indicating that it was fine with anything.
“Xunxun! Xunxun!” Little Xunbao rattled off several dishes.
Half an hour later, the coffee table in the living room was laden with food, which Ya Bao and the others happily ate.
Michaela stood by the window, glanced at Tingbao eating, and lowered her voice, saying,
“In an environment like Tianyuan Star, it’s best to avoid talking to Tingbao about translation.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback: “Why?”
“Tingbao has a natural talent for translation. If he develops an interest in the profession, he might not want to participate in combat competitions anymore and instead become a translator,” Michaela said solemnly.
“Really?” Qiao Sang said.
Michaela sighed and said, “You don’t know, the environment has a huge impact on pets, especially young ones. Pets on Tianyuan Star are born in a certain country or live in a certain environment, and they will basically aim for the professions in that area. Many professional beast tamers’ pets become less motivated to train after coming to Tianyuan Star, which is due to the influence of the environment.”
“Tingbao is the least motivated to train among all your pets, except for Xiaoxunbao. It’s still young and easily influenced, which will further reduce its motivation to train.” Qiao
Sang was silent for two seconds and said, “I don’t think Tingbao will be like that. Although it doesn’t usually show that much enthusiasm for training, it will complete any goal set for it. And even if there are extra hours of training added at the last minute, it won’t complain at all. I think Tingbao just doesn’t seem to like battling as much as Ya Bao and the others. Actually, it still hopes to achieve good results in the competition.”
During the Master Challenge, Tingbao trained until it forgot the time in order to compete, which is the best proof.
Michaela was about to say something more.
But at this moment, Tingbao looked over.
Michaela immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Penjami glanced at her Beastmaster and silently shook her head.
It was 9:30 PM.
Little Treasure Hunt returned from training, first floating to the bathroom to brush its teeth, then floating out again. It sighed, seemingly lost in thought, and took out its phone to search for other competitions and activities it could participate in.
“Xiaxia?”
Xia Lala floated over and called out, indicating that it wasn’t going to stream today.
It remembered that Little Treasure Hunt would usually stream after training at this time.
“Xunxun.”
Little Treasure Hunt called out while checking the competitions and activities it could participate in, indicating that it would stream later.
“Xiaxia?”
Xia Lala called out.
Why?
“Xunxun~”
Little Treasure Hunt responded, indicating that it wanted to see what competitions and activities it could participate in.
“Xiaxia.”
Xia Lala called out encouragingly, saying, “Keep it up, you can definitely find a competition where you can win the championship.”
Hearing this, Little Treasure Hunt’s first thought was of its recent runner-up finish, and it slumped down. However, it quickly perked up and called out:
“Xunxun!”
It will!
After saying that, it continued to check the competitions and activities it could participate in.
About half an hour later, Little Xunbao entered a competition page, looked at it with satisfaction, entered its information, and clicked to register.
After doing all this, it turned on the live stream.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao waved its paw enthusiastically.
The comments section kept refreshing.
【Little Xunbao! You’ve finally started streaming!】
【We’ve been waiting for you for so long.】
【I didn’t expect Little Xunbao to be able to translate and type!】
【You won the runner-up in the translation competition, that’s amazing!】
【With such amazing skills, and the ability to type and translate human language, how did you do it!】
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao looked at the comments, was stunned for a moment, then its eyes lit up, and it called out, indicating that everyone was watching its competition!
【What translation competition? What are you talking about?】
【I didn’t watch the competition, but I saw it trending.】
【I’m not interested in translation competitions, but if Little Xunbao had one, I would definitely watch the whole thing.】
【Trending?】 Why didn’t I see the trending topics?
【Trending topics in the Medicine Kingdom of Tianyuan Star; those who follow the Medicine Kingdom should know.】
Trending topics? It’s trending? Little Xunbao accurately saw the words “trending topics,” its heart racing. It quickly opened the trending topics and, sure enough, saw the related topic.
【Minghuan Monarch, Little Xunbao Wins Runner-Up in Translation Competition】
Little Xunbao clicked in and saw a video of itself participating in the translation competition. Judging from the image quality and angle, it was clear that the person filming used a mobile phone to record from a relatively far back position.
There were already thousands of comments below.
Besides text comments, there were many more voice comments from pets.
Little Xunbao clicked on a few voice comments.
【Fufu!】
Is Little Xunbao in our Medicine Kingdom now?!
【Poop? Poop?】
Is that Little Xunbao, the pet of Qiao Sang, the champion of the Master Challenge? Isn’t it a professional battler? How did it participate in a translation competition?
【Zhizhi!】
The point isn’t that it participated in the translation competition, the point is that it won second place!
【Tengteng!】
The pet of the champion of the Master Challenge actually won second place in the translation competition, that’s amazing! Is it all-rounder?!
【Pingping.】
I didn’t expect that the pet of the champion of the Master Challenge could also translate, and translate so well, I’m really impressed, I’m a fan now.
“Xunxun.”
Little Xunbao listened to the comments, its mouth widening.
“Xunxun!”
After listening to nearly a hundred comments, it finally couldn’t resist, floated to its tamer’s side, and called out, wanting to share.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang, who was meditating, heard the noise, opened her eyes, and asked.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao couldn’t wait to put the phone in front of its tamer and called out excitedly.
Qiao Sang glanced down and saw that they were all voice comments, and asked, “What’s this?”
“Xunxun~” Little Xunbao scrolled to the top.
Qiao Sang glanced down again, surprised, and said, “You’re trending?”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded happily.
How could it be trending? Qiao Sang took the phone, carefully read the content and comments, and quickly understood.
Little Xunbao had previously participated in the Master Challenge, achieving a very high level of success among all pets aiming for competitive battles. Based on this, any small achievement Little Xunbao made in other types of competitions would be amplified and widely praised. (End of Chapter)
