Hearing Lin Yue’s voice of surprise, the other three women simultaneously directed their gaze towards the field.

Xu Ran hasn’t been on stage yet.

But he was already standing at the edge of the competition site and only needed to wait for the current contestant to finish the fight before his turn came next.

“My goodness! Boss Xu is actually part of the competition.” Lin Yue exclaimed, completely surprised, as if she’s seeing her neighbor being on TV all of a sudden.

“It’s actually normal.” Su Xiaoxiao regained her senses after a brief moment of surprise, “Boss Xu’s Pet Beast had defeated Little Flame before. He would definitely be able to get through the initial screening round with his skills.” “Boss Xu is also young enough to meet the age requirement.”

“You’re right.” Hearing Su Xiaoxiao’s comments, Lin Yue also came back to her senses, realizing that she may have overreacted a bit. She couldn’t help but ask as she looked at Xu Ran who was waiting to go on stage, “Do you think Boss Xu can win and advance?”

“Boss Xu’s Pet Beast is also of Thunder Attribute, similarly excelling in agility. It’s quite similar to the Lightning Locust, although its strength may not be as strong.” Hearing Lin Yue’s words, Su Xiaoxiao started analyzing seriously, “I think he can beat the Blue Water Lion.”

“I agree.” Duan Anxun chimed in from the side, agreeing with Su Xiaoxiao’s view.

“My opinion is a bit different from yours.” Gu Ling suddenly started laughing. “Gu Ling, do you think Boss Xu will lose?” Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at her. “No…” Gu Ling shook her head, “I think he wouldn’t choose the Blue Water Lion as his opponent.”

“Huh?” A surprised look appeared on Su Xiaoxiao’s face.

Not choosing the Blue Water Lion?

But wouldn’t the difficulty of the battle increase significantly if he didn’t choose the Water attribute, which the Thunder attribute has an advantage over?

The remaining nine Pet Beasts flashed through her mind one by one.

First, exclude the Earth attribute, which restricts the Thunder attribute. The other eight attributes didn’t have much of a restrictive relationship with the Thunder attribute. However, these opponents were also not afraid of agility types; a few of them even surpassed Xu Ran’s Pet Beast in terms of agility. It seemed… none of them were easy victories.

Could it be that Boss Xu was really willing to give up an easily won victory and opt for a more difficult contest?

Su Xiaoxiao was somewhat lost.

In the field, the previous contestant left the stage after his defeat.

Xu Ran, holding Ziyun, strided confidently onto the Battle Stand.

The narrator’s voice echoed across the field.

“Stepping on the stage now is the 23-year-old contestant, Xu Ran. His Pet

Beast is the Electric Chasing Cat, and he is… the owner of a Pet Beast Foster Shop.”

As the announcer got to the second half of the sentence, even his tone of voice started to sound a little strange.

In the audience, the chatter was picking up once more.

The owner of a Pet Beast Foster Shop?

Most people saw this as a logistical role that serves other Beast Masters’ Pet Beasts, when did such a service provider ever end up on a stand designated for Beast Masters?

Without waiting for Xu Ran to take action, several audience members had already crossed him off mentally.

Next to the seats designated for Xu Ran, the expressions on Tian Futao and

Zhuang He’s faces became extremely peculiar.

The two of them spontaneously remembered the words Xu Ran had said earlier.

So… was he trying to advertise his Washing and Protection Shop?

Just as this idea popped into their heads, Xu Ran moved on stage.

He took out a flagpole from the stuffed backpack on his back and unfolded it vigorously, waving it mightily towards the audience.

On the red flag, a line of golden letters was embossed.

“Starfire Foster Shop, offering the best care for your Pet Beast!”

Seeing that flag flapping in the wind, the audience fell into a strange silence. The expressions on Tian Futao and Zhuang He’s faces turned even stranger. Xu Ran… was truly advertising!

On the other side of the audience, the expressions of the four women – Su

Xiaoxiao, Gu Ling, Lin Yue, and Duan Anxun – turned downcast.

“Um…” After a long while, Lin Yue spoke up in a small voice, “Should we… pretend we don’t know Boss Xu?”

The other three women quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yun, situated in a corner of the audience seats, had his eyes wide open as he watched Xu Ran waving the flag on stage. His mind was filled with shock.

The conversation he had had with Xu Ran two days ago echoed in his mind again.

“How can I advertise during the competition? I don’t have money for sponsorship.”

“Small-minded, too small-minded! Think about it, Boss Xu. Who gets the most attention during a competition? The contestants! If you’re on stage, all eyes would be on you. Wouldn’t it be easy to advertise then?”

“Now that you mention it, I have an idea. Thanks a lot!”

Zhang Yun tried to speak but stopped himself, then tried to stop but wanted to speak again.

No…what I meant was you could put your shop’s name or something on your clothes…

I didn’t ask you to advertise like this!

With the uproar and jeers from the spectators around him, Zhang Yun couldn’t help but shrink his head.

He didn’t know Xu Ran!

This whole idea had nothing to do with him!

After a short silence, the audience area was suddenly buzzing again. Instead of competing, he was using the platform for advertisement? This was absolutely outrageous!

“What on earth is going on? I am here to watch a competition, not an advertisement!”

“How much money did this guy give to the organizers? Does a guy like him even qualify to sign up for the competition?”

“Boycott! The shop is called Starfire Foster Shop, right? Let’s not patronize it!”

The spectators were a melting pot of vitriolic complaints, a sea of angry voices. Suddenly, the reluctant voice of the host came through the loudspeakers across the venue, “Contestant Xu Ran, please quickly choose your opponent and start your battle.”

“Alright then.” Hearing the host’s prompt, Xu Ran took the hint and set the flag aside on the ground.

After waving the flag for so long, everyone should have remembered the name of the Starfire Foster Shop by now, right?

With that done, it could be said to be effective.

Now, he should fulfill his promise to Zhuang He and show him the effects of Washing and Protection.

If he couldn’t fool Zhuang He into trying the Washing and Protection, he and Ziyun would be losing a fortune!

Since he needed to show off his abilities then…

Xu Ran’s gaze swept across the ten opponents, then, without any hesitation, he pointed to the Beast Master linked to an Earth attribute Pet Beast and said, “I choose you!”

“Huh?” The chosen Beast Master’s face showed a surprised expression, and he looked at Xu Ran with an absurd feeling as if to say, “Are you joking with me?”, “Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

Xu Ran gave a firm nod.

His voice was picked up by the venue’s microphones and amplified across the entire venue. Immediately, it was met with even larger waves of murmuring. Ignoring the blatant self-advertisement, he was even going to try fighting against the attributes?

“I get it!” A boy sitting not far from Su Xiaoxiao and her friends stood up and shouted, “He’s doing it on purpose!”

“If he loses because his attribute is at a disadvantage, it would be understandable. That way, even if he gets eliminated due to his weak abilities, he would have an excuse!”

“You’re talking nonsense! Boss Xu isn’t that kind of person!” Despite joking about pretending not to know Xu Ran earlier, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but stand up at this moment, “He chose this way, there must be assurance!” Unfortunately, the other people ignored her words. They quickly believed in the boy’s theory and continued to criticize Xu Ran.

“You guys…” Su Xiaoxiao puffed her cheeks out, looking a bit displeased.

“It’s okay.” Gu Ling gently patted her on the shoulder, “Boss Xu will win. Believe in him..”
