Chiying's information followed right after.
The moment the three characters “Moling Dragon” were entered into the system, Chiying's profile popped up on the screen.
The staff member stared at the words “Discoverer: Liu Yi,” her fingers hovering above the keyboard, not descending for a long time.
“This one... was also discovered by you?” She looked up, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Liu Yi and Chiying several times.
“Yes.”
The staff member took a deep breath, entered Chiying's information into the contestant profile, and then wrote in the remarks column: 【This contestant is the discoverer and contractor of the Moling Dragon.】
Lastly, Jinyao.
The moment the three characters “Blazing Lion” were entered into the system, Jinyao's newly created profile popped up on the screen.
The staff member stared at the line “Attribute: Fire + Fighting,” then at the line “Remarks: Radiance Shift individual,” her mouth slightly agape, unable to close it for a long time.
She turned to Wu Sheng: “Deputy Director Wu, this...”
“It’s already been confirmed,” Wu Sheng said. “Just enter it directly.”
The staff member nodded, entered Jinyao's information into the contestant profile, and then wrote in the remarks column: 【This Blazing Lion is a Radiance Shift individual, possessing dual Fire + Fighting attributes.】
After all three pets' information was entered, a prompt appeared on the system:
【Competing pets confirmed. Quantity: 3. Types: Silver Snow Fox, Moling Dragon, Blazing Lion (Radiance Shift).】
The staff member turned the screen towards Liu Yi: “Please confirm if the information is correct.”
Liu Yi quickly scanned it and nodded: “Correct.”
The staff member pressed the confirm button.
【Contestant registration complete. Contestant ID: HY-SC-0047.】
【The second stage of the competition will officially begin on November 24th. Contestants are requested to report to the Saint Candle Region Beast Tamer Association before November 23rd to collect their contestant passes.】
Liu Yi looked at the line “Officially begins on November 24th” on the screen and silently calculated in her mind.
Today is November 7th, seventeen days until the second stage begins.
The staff member took out two cards from the terminal and handed them to Liu Yi: “These are your contestant pass and contestant ID card. Please keep them safe. Your contestant pass has your ID number, and the contestant ID card is your credential for entering and exiting the venue and collecting supplies during the competition.”
Liu Yi took the cards. The contestant pass was pale gold, with “National High School League Second Stage · Glorious Domain” and her contestant ID “HY-SC-0047” printed on the front, and the back was blank.
The contestant ID card, on the other hand, was silvery-white, with subtle energy patterns on its surface, giving it a warm touch.
Liu Yi nodded and put both cards into her backpack.
Wu Sheng walked over from the side, holding a folder: “Student Liu Yi, Jinyao's registration is complete, and contestant registration is also done. Next, all you need to do is report before November 23rd.”
He paused, then handed her the folder: “Here are Jinyao's registration certificate and medical report. Please keep them safe.”
Liu Yi took the folder and opened it to glance inside.
The first page contained Jinyao's basic profile, the second was the medical report, and the third was a certificate stamped with the official seal of the Saint Candle Beast Tamer Association, stating: “It has been verified that the Blazing Lion ‘Jinyao’ is a Radiance Shift individual, possessing dual Fire + Fighting attributes. This is to certify.”
“Thank you.”
Wu Sheng nodded: “If you need anything else, feel free to come find me at the Administrative Hall. My office is on the third floor, and there’s a nameplate at the door.”
“Alright.”
Liu Yi tucked the folder into her backpack, zipped it up, and casually rubbed Ziyue's ear, who was squatting by her feet.
Wei Xiuyu walked over from the side, her gaze falling on Liu Yi's backpack: “All done?”
“Mhm.” Liu Yi nodded. “Jinyao's registration, pet physical examination, and contestant registration are all complete.”
Wei Xiuyu checked the time: “Let's go, back to the hotel first.”
However, as they walked through the Administrative Hall, about to reach the main entrance of the Beast Tamer Association, Liu Yi's steps faltered slightly.
The crowd outside the door was unusually large.
Through the glass door, a large crowd could be seen gathered in the plaza in front of the Beast Tamer Association, packed tightly together. Flashbulbs popped in the sunlight, cameras were hoisted on shoulders, and microphones were held aloft.
Liu Yi stopped and turned to look at Wei Xiuyu.
Wei Xiuyu's expression remained unchanged, as if she had long anticipated this scene.
She walked to the glass door, her gaze sweeping over the crowd outside, then turned to Liu Yi.
“News about the Radiance Shift Blazing Lion has already spread throughout the Glorious Domain.”
Liu Yi's finger tapped lightly on her backpack strap.
“When you registered Jinyao, the information was synchronized to the Yan Country Beast Tamer Association General Database. The Beast Tamer Association here in the Glorious Domain has permission to view it, and reporters also have their own information channels,” Wei Xiuyu paused. “Moreover, Vice President Helian also notified the Blazing Lion tribe at the time, and as soon as there was any movement from the tribe, the news spread even faster.”
Liu Yi looked through the glass door at the group of reporters outside.
They hadn't noticed Liu Yi yet, their gazes sweeping around the hall.
Several reporters were holding up their phones, seemingly confirming information with someone.
And several photographers with cameras hoisted on their shoulders were adjusting their lenses to aim at the Beast Tamer Association's main entrance.
“What do we do now?” she asked.
Wei Xiuyu looked at the reporters outside, then at Jinyao in Liu Yi's arms.
Jinyao seemed to sense something, poking its head out from Liu Yi's arms to look outside.
Seeing the large crowd and the flashing lights, it tilted its head and let out a cry.
“Yanyan?”
So many people?
Wei Xiuyu withdrew her gaze and sat down on a nearby chair: “Let’s wait a bit, until they disperse before we go out.”
Liu Yi glanced at the reporters outside, who showed no sign of dispersing, and also sat down, placing Jinyao on her lap.
Jinyao looked up at her.
“Yanyan?”
Are they waiting for us?
“Yes,” Liu Yi said, lowering her head to rub Jinyao's head. “The news got out; they want to see you.”
“Yanyan?” Jinyao tilted its head.
Why look at me?
“Because you’re a Radiance Shift individual, very rare,” Liu Yi said softly. “They haven’t seen a golden Blazing Lion, so they’re curious.”
“Yanyan!”
Will they think I’m pretty after they see me?
Ziyue turned her head from the side, looked at Jinyao’s expectant face, and let out a cry.
“Bingbing.”
They will.
“Yanyan!”
Then when do we go out?
Liu Yi glanced outside. Not only had the reporters not dispersed, but their numbers were increasing.
Wei Xiuyu pushed open the door and stepped out, standing on the steps. Her gaze swept over everyone in the plaza, and she spoke.
“I am Wei Xiuyu, a coach from Tianqi Beast Taming High School.”
The plaza fell silent for a moment, then the reporters began to push forward, raising their microphones even higher.
“Coach Wei! May I ask where Contestant Liu Yi's Radiance Shift Blazing Lion was contracted?”
“Coach Wei! A Radiance Shift individual of the Blazing Lion has never appeared in the Glorious Domain. Can you disclose more details?”
“Coach Wei! When will Contestant Liu Yi come out? Can we interview her?”
Wei Xiuyu raised her hand, and the clamor gradually subsided.
