...— Tiannan Baixiaosheng
When he secretly saw the Extreme Cold Penguin, Li Wen was also startled. There really were pet beasts that had already reached Commander-level at this point in time; truly worthy of being a stream inheritor.
And Lu Chen, since he took the blame for him once, taking it again wouldn't be too much.
Li Wen retained a part of his conscience, concealing his other two pets for him.
Finally, to make it less obvious, he placed his own ranking in the third to last position.
Looking at his afternoon's work, he couldn't help but feel satisfied. He exposed all the pet beasts and weaknesses of the several difficult opponents, so they would fight among themselves.
He would also have a much easier time and could lay low.
However, rankings primarily depended on the competition format. It remained to be seen how this practical combat would be conducted.
His task was complete; the rest was up to the black market big shot. Chen Ping was truly surprised the moment he received this information.
"Where did you find such accurate information?"
Li Wen adjusted his non-existent glasses on his face and said, feigning profoundness.
"This is a Breeder's basic cultivation. If you ask Lu Chen, he should be able to do it too."
Lu Chen: Brother, please let me off, I really can't do it!
Chen Ping, not being a Breeder, didn't dwell on it. He took a copy and told Li Wen to follow him.
It wouldn't be good if they were caught by a teacher, so he had Li Wen help him keep watch.
Chen Ping casually pulled over a complete stranger and asked.
"Buddy, do you know where Meng Chen lives?"
The person was startled and stammered, "It's... it's straight ahead on the right," then fled in a hurry.
Li Wen watched, speechless, and said.
"So, this is what you call 'connections'?"
"Why not?"
Li Wen said nothing, just stared at him.
Finally, Chen Ping was so unnerved by his gaze that he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I guarantee I can sell it."
"I'll trust you one last time."
The two walked all the way to Meng Chen's room door. Chen Ping stepped forward and knocked. The one who opened the door was Meng Chen himself.
Chen Ping's first words were like a lightning strike.
"Hey buddy, hey buddy, do you want contestant information?"
"I have all the seed contestants' information except for yours..."
Before he could finish, the other person tried to close the door.
At the critical moment, Li Wen had to act. He immediately recited some of Li Yu's pet information from memory, attracting Meng Chen's attention.
Because they were from two relatively close cities, as old rivals, they would certainly know some information about each other's pet beasts.
"Can you confirm it for me?"
Meng Chen still harbored a trace of doubt and asked.
"If you want to see it, you have to buy it..."
Li Wen reached out to stop Chen Ping from saying the rest and spoke.
"Show him the information for Seed #1."
This time, Chen Ping cooperated perfectly, only revealing up to, "growth level: Suspected Commander-level."
Clearly, as contestants with a chance to enter the top ten, the teachers must have specifically emphasized Li Hanqing. Although he accepted her identity as a stream inheritor, he was still curious about her strength.
"Okay, I'll buy it. Pay up."
...One led to another. The two then repeated the process, selling contestant information to three more people, earning 400,000.
Li Wen felt it was enough and it was time to stop, taking his 280,000. But Chen Ping was a bit too caught up in the profits and decided to do a few more deals.
However, he overlooked one thing: most of these seed contestants were students from the first middle schools of various cities. So, as expected, an unexpected situation occurred.
Two seed contestants from the same school pulled out two sets of materials when sharing information, and they also discovered that their own set was merely their part removed from the complete version.
But since no one knew who "Tiannan Baixiaosheng" was, they could only report Chen Ping, who sold them the information.
Fortunately, it didn't significantly affect the final competition, so the outcome was just a verbal warning and an additional rule in the contestant village.
The next morning, because the list had already spread in a small circle, the teachers decided to simply announce it directly.
And below it was a line of small text.
"A gift from the teacher's group for Tiannan Baixiaosheng, come claim it quickly."
Just like during university when a classmate reported your student ID to give you extra credits, Li Wen would never fall for it.
The moment Lu Chen saw the list, he knew who was behind it. Besides Li Wen, who else had this ability? Even he couldn't get the data so accurately.
In the final half-hour before the competition, the format was finally announced.
"Contestants, this competition will use a point system. Various wild pet beasts are distributed throughout the lake island. Defeating them will earn you corresponding points, and those who successfully survive for three days will directly receive 200 points."
"Points between contestants can be transferred, so defeating other contestants might also be a good option."
"It doesn't matter if you're not good at pet beast battles. This competition aims to improve outdoor survival skills. The highest score will be counted for points, so as long as you can defeat wild pet beasts, you can also get a high score."
"Finally, if danger arises, you must use the distress device. These are the rules."
A loud voice echoed through the venue, filling the ears of every contestant.
