Chapter 43: The Competition
There were a total of three men and six women sitting in the private room, plus Song Tiantian, making it seven girls.
Two more girls sat next to Jiang Su.
Song Tiantian sat at a table by herself, burying her head in her food.
The dishes here were ridiculous; a super large white plate had only a tiny amount of food on it.
Such a small portion of food wouldn’t fill anyone up.
Jiang Su had said he was taking her for a big meal, so she hadn’t eaten dinner at the canteen, waiting to eat some good things and wanting to eat a lot.
Fortunately, the waiter’s serving speed was quite fast. Seeing that she was eating a lot, they served her many dishes.
Neither Jiang Su nor his buddies laughed at Song Tiantian.
They were quite polite to Song Tiantian.
“Tiantian, I’m Jiang Su’s good buddy. You helped Jiang Su a lot, and from now on, I’ll be your good friend too. If you encounter any problems in the future, come to me.” Cang Yonghong proactively raised his glass to Song Tiantian.
“Thank you, Big Brother, but I’ve just come of age and don’t drink alcohol. Let’s substitute tea for wine. I’ll toast you.”
Song Tiantian refused Cang Yonghong and instead poured a cup of tea.
“Tiantian, why are you giving Brother Cang this stuff? How can Brother Cang drink this? Quickly bring out the good things you prepared.”
Jiang Su gave Song Tiantian a meaningful look.
Song Tiantian understood Jiang Su’s intention and immediately took out the dark, murky substance and handed it to Cang Yonghong.
“Brother Cang, since you’ve accepted me as your younger sister, I can’t keep this to myself. This is something both Jiang Su and I have drunk, called Cold Fragrance Number Two. To be honest, we’ve already entered the Beast Taming Era.
If a person doesn’t have a Pet Beast, it’s like having two missing legs, a third-class cripple.
And Brother Tan, I won’t forget you either. You’re Jiang Su’s good brother, which makes you my good friend. I absolutely won’t show favoritism; you get a bottle too.
You absolutely must not spit this out; don’t waste it.
This stuff is extremely, extremely precious.”
“This is Cold Fragrance Number Two?”
Tan Zheng’s eyes lit up. He knew about Cold Fragrance Number Two, and he also knew Song Tiantian, but he had no opportunity to get acquainted with her.
One of his buddies became a Beast Tamer after drinking this stuff.
You must know that Cold Fragrance Number One was already a scarce commodity; Cold Fragrance Number Two is even more so.
He didn’t know how many connections he had made, and those researchers said they had never even heard of Cold Fragrance Number Two.
“Of course, the taste of Cold Fragrance Number Two is its soul. As long as you’ve heard of it and smell it, you’ll know it’s definitely Cold Fragrance Number Two. Others can imitate its appearance, but they can’t imitate its soul.”
Song Tiantian said as she opened the bottle cap.
“Everyone can take a whiff. When Cold Fragrance Number Two goes on the market, there will definitely be many counterfeit and inferior products, just like with Cold Fragrance Number One now, where many fakes have already appeared.
This taste, you’ll definitely remember it for a lifetime after smelling it once.”
Cang Yonghong almost threw up.
But he wasn’t an ignorant person; he had also vaguely heard rumors about Cold Fragrance Number Two.
It was said that this smell could nauseate a person’s soul.
He had always imagined what kind of smell it was, and now, he smelled it.
“Brother Cang, Brother Tan, come, come, I’ll find a white wall, a white background, and we’ll drink it here. I’ll record a promotional video for Cold Fragrance Number Two. If the video is good and gets a lot of likes, the Doctor will definitely value me more.”
“You guys help Tiantian, and let’s have a competition to see who finishes first?”
Jiang Su also persuaded the two of them from the side.
“Alright, let’s compete!”
The two didn’t hesitate and actually walked to the white background Song Tiantian mentioned, clinked their glasses, and drank it down.
Song Tiantian verbally introduced the magical properties of Cold Fragrance Number Two, its various powerful effects, and characteristics. She stated that the effect was best the first time, so the entire bottle must be finished, as this was the optimal dosage determined by hundreds of experiments.
Drinking even a drop less could potentially lower one’s Talent.
Both of them tilted their heads back and drank Cold Fragrance Number Two as if life were not worth living.
Jiang Su even poured some tea water to wash out the corners, urging them to continue drinking while it was still warm.
This stuff was truly disgusting; even if only a tiny bit remained, the taste was extremely foul. Both of them felt nauseous to the point of gagging, as if they might die at any moment.
They looked as if they had been poisoned.
“Quickly circulate your Beast Taming Cultivation Method and see if you can sense Spiritual Energy and cultivate.”
Song Tiantian said to the two of them from the side.
At this moment, the two of them couldn’t bother with feeling disgusted.
They had secretly practiced the Beast Taming Cultivation Method hundreds of times in private, and each time there was no reaction, they were almost driving themselves crazy.
But this time, there was actually a reaction. They both felt the joy of cultivation.
So this was the so-called sensation of qi, this was Spiritual Energy.
The feeling of cultivation was simply too good!
The Spiritual Energy they had sought for hundreds of times in vain, and could never feel, they finally felt at this moment.
At this time, Song Tiantian also finished editing and dubbing the video and posted it directly.
She glanced at the time; it was about time.
So she shouted to the two who were still cultivating, “Alright, for the first cultivation, this duration is optimal. From now on, cultivating for an hour every day should be enough.
Once you’ve contracted a Pet Beast, you’ll be able to cultivate for more than two hours a day.
See if your families have prepared Pet Beasts for you. If not, come to the Pet Beast Center tomorrow to choose one.
Remember to come early, otherwise, you’ll have to queue.
The monitoring screens at the Pet Beast Center are already full of people.
Those who are diligent go early to watch the surveillance footage, pick their favorite Pet Beasts, and then when they appear before the Pet Beasts, they firmly choose them, leaving a good impression on the Pet Beasts and increasing the success rate.
It used to be easy to succeed this way, but not anymore. Good Pet Beasts are almost always coveted by several people, and everyone competes to see which Pet Beast chooses whom.
It’s not about who offers the highest price that the Pet Beast will follow.
It’s about who the Pet Beast is willing to follow that the Contract success rate will be high.
So we also let the Pet Beasts choose.”
“Can we go contract a Pet Beast tonight?”
Tan Zheng was too excited, his mind racing; he was incredibly thrilled and wished he could go contract a Pet Beast immediately.
“No! They’re all closed at night, but you can check out my video account. The Pet Beasts in my videos all have Blue Talent or above. Follow me, and I’ll tell you which ones haven’t been contracted yet. If you fancy one, you won’t have to watch the surveillance tomorrow; you can go directly to contract it.”
Cang Yonghong immediately took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code to follow.
Song Tiantian actually posted videos very frequently.
She filmed many, many Pet Beasts, and each Pet Beast in her lens felt incredibly imposing.
