"Well...alright then!"

Bai Qi gritted his teeth and agreed; executing a Starfire Slash would cost about 20,000 bucks.

If he didn’t agree, the mecha might just throw a fit and go on strike during the competition, which would be an even greater loss.

That’s why they say that mechanical Spirit Masters are true "whales"; you can’t play the game without money.

Just when the Starfire Mecha was going full throttle, getting ready to unleash its most powerful strike, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared from the bushes beside it.

It’s the Golden Slime!

Before the competition started, the Golden Slime had already ventured into the Mist Forest, it’s just that it had been made invisible by a Monarch Level super ability type spirit beast.

Now, with the invisibility lifted and the Golden Slime releasing its own dazzling skill, the nearby area instantly became the most conspicuous spot!

"Holy moly! Why did it spawn next to me! I just want to be a low-profile survivor!"

Inside the mecha, Bai Qi complained. He just wanted to quietly earn points without becoming the target of everyone’s attacks.

"This is not a good place to linger, Starfire. Maybe... we should skedaddle?"

"Agreed!"

Bai Qi quickly communicated with the intelligence of the Starfire Mecha.

Releasing a Starfire Slash now, forcefully eliminating the Thunder Qilin Turtle, would likely result in being targeted by other contestants converging here, a bit of a lose-lose situation.

But the next second, Bai Qi seemed to have an epiphany.

The dark grey mecha’s back erupted in flames, grabbed the nearby glowing Golden Slime, then the mechanical faceplate on top of the mecha opened up, revealing a rather handsome face.

Bai Qi cleared his throat facing the camera of a magnetic sphere monster, then spoke up:

"Good morning, ladies and gents! Here, I’m making a matrimonial ad, haha!"

"I am 28, single, own a car, a house, and a spiritual beast. An Intermediate Spirit Master from the Tiangong Daoist School. Looking for a rich and beautiful sugar mommy for financial support. I don’t smoke, drink, or play the field; just into tinkering with machines. Interested parties, message me!"

At that moment, the competition’s live broadcast main screen was filled with his close-up; after all, the Golden Slime was the focal point of the entire competition at the moment.

Instantly, the live broadcast screen was flooded with barrage comments.

Everyone knows that Bai Qi and his Starfire Mecha are among the favorites to win the championship, with high popularity!

"Didn’t expect brother Bai Qi to be such a fun guy."

"Brother Bai Qi looks like the abstinent handsome type, didn’t expect him to be a funny guy, I’m impressed!"

"A direct disciple of an A-class Daoist School needing a sugar mommy for support?"

"No help for it, mechanical Spirit Masters are the most expensive among the spirit masters. I’ve heard that the maintenance for these iron clads, including their daily intake of crude oil that costs tens of thousands per barrel, and other fees like upkeep and repairs are through the roof. Upgrading the mechanical core is also ridiculously expensive. Without real financial power, indeed they’re hard to maintain."

"Is this promoting the fine tradition of Tiangong Daoist School? I remember disciples from the last edition of the school saying similar things during interviews. Seems like one of them really did marry a rich woman who made a major upgrade to the strength of his mechanical spirit beast!"

"Bai Bao, let big sister take care of you!"

...

With Bai Qi’s words out, the audience was close to losing it with laughter.

Of course, except for the master and other disciples of the Tiangong Daoist School.

The expression of the master of the Tiangong Daoist School turned ashen, and the rest of his disciples also had faces filled with dark lines.

"Such a disgrace, too humiliating! You little rascal! Wait till you get back and see how I deal with you."

"Master, cool off, maybe the junior brother will win the championship this time, right? And what’s wrong with getting sponsored by a rich woman! A woman might rust the mecha, but a rich woman will only ensure our mechas get a comprehensive upgrade."

A disciple with a slicked-back hairdo "consoled" him.

"Get lost!"

The master of the Tiangong Daoist School’s face was streaked with black lines, for it was this fourth disciple who started this "wrong trend" of sugar mommy hunting, leading to him often being teased by other masters in gatherings.

——————————————

Mist Forest.

As Bai Qi released a "marriage-seeking" advertisement, other contestants were arriving one after another.

And She Pili, with his Thunder Qilin Turtle, took the opportunity to quietly leave the area.

At this moment, a clear crane cry came from the sky, a celestial crane with pure white wings and a slender neck flew over, and on its back sat a little Taoist, leisurely seated.

Yun Shan from Dragon Tiger Daoist School was also a hot contender for the championship.

Bai Qi looked into the distance, the Starfire Mecha could not only penetrate the fog but also see very far, which made it like a fish in water in this round of the contest, currently having the highest number of eliminations in the field!

Undead Bone Nightmare Horse, Quenching Blade Spirit, rosy finches...

A group of contestants with their Spiritual Beasts were speeding their way here!

"Yun, I see you’re fated with this Slime, so I’m giving it to you."

Watching the contestants arriving one after another, Bai Qi was not at all reluctant and tossed the Golden Slime he had in his hand towards Yun Shan, who was riding the crane in midair.

This move was called selecting a random Spirit Master to torment.

Yun Shan was just about to have the Wind God Crane make a move when he saw that the Starfire Mecha threw the Golden Slime right in front of him; he was stunned for a moment, then threw the Golden Slime back.

"Cough cough, I guess it’s not fated for me, I better give it back to you, Bai Qi!"

He was just here for the fun and did not want to choose the second path to advance.

Golden Slime: ????

"The Golden Slime now seems to be a hot potato that nobody wants!"

Liu Yiyi was commentating on the competition, and the Neon Cat at her side sighed:

"What a pitiful Golden Slime meow~"

The Starfire Mecha didn’t even glance at the Golden Slime; the thrusters on its back continuously ejected flames, quickly leaving the area.

In any case, the Golden Slime’s growth level reached the high Transcendent 9th Rank, and together with its amazing defensive power and resilience, it would not be harmed at all even falling from this height.

Just as the Golden Slime was about to land, a white shadow swiftly passed through the trees next to it and caught the Golden Slime.

"It’s the Qingqiu Fox! Chen Mo’s Qingqiu Fox has made a move!"

"This is so cool meow!"

Unlike the other contestants who were circumspect and dared not snatch the Golden Slime, Qingqiu Fox’s performance now showed more of a monarch’s demeanor.

"Well done! I am rooting for you!"

"Ahhh! The Qingqiu Fox is just too awesome! Is there any merchandise? I really want to buy some!"

At the same time, Chen Mo saw a bright red electronic countdown appear on the Magnetic Sphere Monster beside him—

00:29:58

If the countdown goes to zero and the Golden Slime is still in his hands, he would directly advance!

After Qingqiu Fox got the Golden Slime, it quickly returned to Chen Mo’s side, handed over the Golden Slime to him, and then transformed into a shadow again, disappearing into the mist.

This round of the competition stipulated that Spiritual Beasts cannot actively attack Spirit Masters, and only by eliminating the opponent’s Spiritual Beasts can they advance.

Having Chen Mo safeguard the Golden Slime was the surest way.

Seeing this, the other contestants naturally commanded their own Spiritual Beasts to chase after the Qingqiu Fox.

The chasing crew was impressive, with more than ten Spirit Masters, and the scale was still growing!

Of course, when the opportunity arose, they would also attack each other.

"Jiu Bao, our moment is coming up next."

Chen Mo’s mouth curved upwards slightly.

It seemed that the other Spiritual Beasts were hunting the Qingqiu Fox, but in Chen Mo and Qingqiu Fox’s eyes, those behind them in pursuit... were the real prey!
