Chapter 90 - I Am That Powerful, Omnipotent For Money
"Howl! (▼皿▼#)"
Having never experienced a beating like this until now, Purple Jade was quite furious.
"In that case, buddy, use Vine Whip and Continuous Energy Burst to hara.s.s it!"
Glancing at the fallen leaves under the Forest Deer"s feet, Su Bai knew that Zhang Yue had not realized yet that the real function of the dead leaves was to reduce the Forest Deer"s wood resistance.
With three bangs, more vine whips emerged from the ground and charged at the Forest Deer. Simultaneously, the cub jumped onto the vines as it condensed dark green energy bullets from its mouth to fire at the opponent.
"Forest Deer, dodge! Find an opportunity to use Gra.s.s Sword Storm!"
"Bleet!"
With the Gra.s.s Knot skill disrupted and its movement speed restrained by the vine whips, the Forest Deer swiftly dodged the cub"s incoming energy bullets while preparing to launch a Gra.s.s Sword Storm attack.
Bang bang bang!
A series of energy bullets shot out from the cub"s mouth. Even with the impediment of the vines, the Forest Deer still managed to run fast enough, such that the energy bullets failed to hit it.
However, the more it ran and the more dead leaves it stepped on, the lowers its wood resistance.
"Now, use Gra.s.s Sword Storm!"
Zhang Yue yelled upon seeing the cub"s second wave of energy bullets. Her pet halted immediately and its body emitted a blast of spiritual power. All the gra.s.s tips in its ranch domain were broken as spiritual energy adhered to form a powerful condensed sword, which charged at the cub.
"You were fooled!" Su Bai suddenly laughed.
In an instant, a vine broke out from the ground and swiftly coiled around the Forest Deer"s body. Upon the successful coiling of that one vine, other vines also wound around the deer. THey poured in toxin and parasitic seeds.
"Then you were fooled, too!" Zhang Yue sneered coldly. Now that the Gra.s.s Sword Storm had been formed, the cub had nowhere to run.
However, in the next moment, the vine whips instantly wrapped the cub and formed a big ball. Numerous gra.s.s swords flew over, piercing the vines and turning them into a hedgehog, but although the Gra.s.s Sword Storm could pierce through one layer of vines, it failed to do so with the next layer. More importantly, the Forest Deer suddenly lost consciousness, directly losing control of most of its Gra.s.s Sword Storm.
"Su Bai emerges victorious!"
In the end, the Gra.s.s Sword Storm dissipated. Dust and smoke settled, and the vines unfurled to reveal the cub standing in the middle, unharmed and intact. In contrast, its opponent was unconscious on the ground.
"No, it"s impossible! My pet isn"t so weak!" Zhang Yue"s face was full of disbelief. She glanced at the fallen leaves on the ground and suddenly looked up in realization. "There"s something wrong with these fallen leaves? You"re despicable!"
"Please invite the next player!" shouted Su Bai, scanning the audience with a solemn gaze again. "Everyone, do you believe that those girls are my haters now? I"m really not an old crook; I"m legit!"
Still thinking about his recent fight, no one responded this time.
"Is Su Bai really able to finish off five opponents by himself? Let"s wait and see. Now, I invite the next player from Hexi Town!"
A teenager from Hexi Town came onstage next with a high-level servant Burrowing Salamander. It looked like a black stick about one meter long, looking unbearably frightening with its indistinguishable head and tail.
"Burrowing Salamander, use Burrowing Pound!"
The Burrowing Salamander hissed suspiciously and quickly burrowed into the ground. Suddenly, it spit out an energy ball from the ground beneath the cub"s body and dived into the ground once again with a "hiss".
"Buddy, use Forest"s Rhythm and Energy Burst!" Su Bai shouted. For some reason, he hated salamanders and earthworms and had the urge to kill them.
Suddenly, the Burrowing Salamander emerged from the ground again, but this time, a series of energy bullets directly hit it, resulting in serious injuries.
Inside the Thorns Domain, the cub had activated its detection skill, Forest"s Rhythm. It was basically playing with fire.
"Su Bai emerges victorious!
"Let"s invite the next attacker."
Next, a young girl with a cute Owl pet came up. The round-faced fat owl was rather cute.
"Owl, use Voice of the Nightingale!"
This owl was actually a rare pet that could attack with sound. It flew in the air and produced a pleasant sound, luring the pet to sleep upon hearing it.
With three bangs, a series of energy bullets shot upward. The Owl immediately accelerated to escape.
Su Bai did not give it a chance to use its hypnosis at all. With the Thorns Domain continuously restoring the cub"s spiritual power, he was not afraid of his pet exhausting its spiritual power.
"Owl, Dive!"
The Owl turned its head and swooped downward, but the cub shot it down in seconds using a series of energy bullets.
"Su Bai emerges victorious!
"Let"s invite the next attacker."
The last pet that came onstage was a water pet called Big-belly Fish. There was absolutely no suspense in the match. In fact, after Zhang Yue"s loss, the other matches were basically doomed.
"Big-belly Fish, use Water Jet!"
The teenager ordered, and the huge blue fish spat a strong current to attack, but with a bang, it was directly hit with a vine whip and was bound by snake-like vines in seconds.
"Su Bai emerges victorious! I announce that the ultimate winner of the first round is Carp Town. The team has successfully advanced to the next round!
"We"ve witnessed a miracle today. Su Bai defeated four high-level servants and a warlord with his single high-level servant! Let"s bring our hands together and congratulate him!"
There was warm applause and cheers on the stands.
"Amazing! I"ll kneel down to you!"
"He"s a real man!"
"Wow…"
"I"m a fan now; Su Bai is amazing!"
The live broadcast room was also full of cheers, adding to the screams and shouts in the field.
It was not entirely impossible for a high-level servant to beat a warlord, but this kind of one-to-five victory was simply too impressive, especially because the opponent was not weak at all.
Along with the enthusiastic cheers in the field, the host took the microphone and walked over to Su Bai with a smile. "Can you tell us how you accomplished this feat? Your pet has such a powerful Thorns Domain and you have such decisive battle commands. You must have employed very tough training in private, haven"t you?"
Su Bai took the microphone and turned to the audience. "Do you all want to know why my cub"s Thorns Domain is so terrifying? Do you want to know why my cub is so strong?"
"Yes!" There was a deafening synonymous answer from the audience.
"Actually, it"s not as difficult as you think. All of this is possible with the green plum"s energy medicinal cakes.
"My cub grew up eating the energy medicinal cakes from this particular brand. Its Thorns Domain also mutated into this powerful form with the help of these medicinal cakes. The green plum energy medicinal cakes are really amazing!"
Su Bai announced loudly.
The host: "…"
The audience: "…"
"How much money did the green plum brand pay you? I own the bluegra.s.s fruit brand; I"ll double the amount!"
"I"m caught off guard by this sudden advertis.e.m.e.nt…"
"I bought a whole bunch of it; my pet loves it!"
"Did he really show such terrifying battle records just for an advertis.e.m.e.nt fee?"
...
The audience was simply dumbfounded. They originally thought Su Bai would reveal some big secret, but the wave of advertis.e.m.e.nts made by him caught them off guard. The information was embedded in them before they even returned to their senses.
"Everyone, please believe me. The green plum energy medicinal cakes are really good; other brands aren"t even as good. They aren"t just high in nutrition but also contain various trace elements essential for pet growth. I promise you that your pet will be just as strong as my cub after eating the medicinal cakes!"
Su Bai grinned and repeated his words. It did not matter whether the audience believed him or not as long as he had done his part in the advertis.e.m.e.nt. Furthermore, it had left a deep impression on the audience.
He was delighted to earn a small change from this advertis.e.m.e.nt.
Sitting in the VIP seat, Li Changchun, the director of Green Fruit Plum Research Inst.i.tute, laughed in satisfaction. This kid was really good and made his money spent worth it.
He was a disciple of Gao An, indeed. This advertising method was so hardcore, and he had not wasted his money in finding so many fake fans.
"Haha! This advertising trick of Su Bai is really surprising, but it"s true that his strength is impeccable, and the green plum energy medicinal cake is indeed very good. You can give it a try and see if it"s really as effective as he said."
Smiling, the host invited Su Bai off the stadium to prepare for the next match, but this one had been blown up by him, so everyone"s expectations seemed to have increased.
"F*ck, Su Bai"s advertising skill is really impressive." Yang Zhou was shocked.
"I"m vomiting; can the strong really do whatever they wish?" Jiang Yang spit and spoke thoughtfully. "Should we give it a try, too? Maybe this brand of energy medicinal cake is really good as he said."
"You can treat us." Yang Zhou also wanted to try it.
Su Bai"s powerful performance made those people who did not believe it want to try the energy medicinal cakes.
Su Yue looked at his older brother"s back, full of admiration. Impressive, big bro.
In the rest area, Su Bai smiled as he returned to his seat. "How was it? Was I impressive enough?"
w.a.n.g Er and the others ignored him, feeling pesky. How did this guy become so much stronger in just a few days? He was even desperately advertising.
Was that worth it for 200,000 yuan?
"Did you decide to fight all five opponents because of the advertis.e.m.e.nt contract?" Chen Bo asked.
Su Bai sat down and glanced at him. "Of course. Who"ll raise my pet if I don"t do that? The town neither gives enough money nor provides advertis.e.m.e.nt deals. The only way I can sustain its life is by earning such petty cash!"
Chen Bo: "…"
"By the way, you guys will have to advertise in the next round. Do it cleanly and learn from me." he instructed.
w.a.n.g Er, Guo Dong, and the others felt like they had been cheated. This kid had definitely received more than one million yuan of sponsorship fee, but they had no other choice.
"Come here, buddy. Take some energy potions." Su Bai handed his No. 3 potion and fed it to the cub.
"Howl! Ψ( ̄∀ ̄)Ψ"
The cub ran over excitedly and threw the green plum energy medicinal cake aside.
w.a.n.g Er and the others: "…"
Did he not just say that the cub ate all the green plum energy medicinal cakes? Was he lying?
Chen Rouxue also looked curiously at Su Bai. How much sponsorship fee did this guy actually receive to make him work so hard? It was definitely not a small amount.
"Roar!" Seeing the cub eating, the Little Tyrant came over. It also wanted to eat the energy medicinal cakes made by Su Bai, which was more delicious than the green plum energy medicinal cakes.
"Hahaha! You have your share, too, but eat it quietly. There are outsiders, so you have to make it look like you"re eating the green plum energy medicinal cake."
Su Bai took out a few medicinal cakes from his backpack and handed them to the Little Tyrant. He caressed his pet"s head as he gave that instruction carefully.
"Roar! ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ"
The Little Tyrant nodded incessantly and poured all the energy medicinal cakes into the corner of its mouth. It then looked innocently at Su Bai. (*⊙~⊙) It was choking slightly.
Since it had choked, it now needed a potion to ease it.
He stared at his pet, seriously suspecting if it had choked on purpose to exhort more food from him.
However, since this little fellow was so obedient, he decided to let it go.
"So our part here is done?" Chen Rouxue spread her hands and asked.
"Yeah, the other three matches have nothing to do with us. The first match tomorrow morning should be our turn again. We"ll be playing with either Maple Leaf Town or White Stone Town, but it"s most probably Maple Leaf Town. If we win tomorrow morning, the next match will be for the championship. If we lose, we"ll have to compete for third place with another losing team."
Chen Bo explained.
"In the next match, we"ll have to take a good look at the opponents from Maple Leaf Town. That way, we can come up with countermeasures in advance."
The man was afraid that these five would be careless and quickly instructed them.
Everyone nodded obediently. They could not leave the game, anyway, and could only stay to watch.
In the arena, the game had already begun. All the Pet Tamers with high-level servants were on the ground. Their duels were balanced in strength and not one-sided like Su Bai"s battles.
However, there were two peculiar pets in the middle of the game. One was a Quicksand Monster, while the other was an Invisible Sandworm.
The Quicksand Monster had no fixed form, and its body was a ma.s.s of sand. It was originally a kind of trap monster in the big desert and had the characteristic of dispersion. It could evenly spread the attacks on its body, making it very difficult to kill.
The Invisible Sandworm looked like a big-headed ant with wings. Its characteristic was invisibility, and it was difficult to be seen once it activated this attribute.
The two"s confrontations lasted for half an hour. In the end, the Quicksand Monster won with difficulty. It was too difficult to deal with, and the Invisible Sandworm could not hurt it.
"This monster seems very difficult to deal with," said Chen Rouxue. "It doesn"t have a shadow, and can even distribute its damage all over its body."
"It"s alright. Just let Xiao Bai use Hypnosis directly. This monster has obvious weaknesses and is particularly afraid of control attacks." Su Bai shook his head.
"I"ll sleep for a while; wake me up when they"re done." He yawned.
"Aren"t you watching?"
"There"s no need. White Stone Town is doomed." The boy lay on the table. In this short while, he had already figured out the details of the other teams.
"Okay, then. I"ll wake you up later." Chen Rouxue nodded, noticing his weary appearance.
