Chapter 1492: Teyvat's 1st Moon Lotus Cup Trainer Competition

the next day.

Jiang Yi went to the venue of the college championship in the morning to cheer for the special commentators Nilu and Ying and the contestants Leila and Falushan.

The competition has a main venue in Xumi City, as well as a branch venue in Aru Village and Wuyuchoulin.

The first round of competition was held at the main venue, and the goal was to capture the extremely fast "Swift Flying Butterflies" that were thrown into Xumi City by the competing players.

Tomorrow, everyone will move to the sub-venue to search for the device that the organizers set up to interfere with the earth veins in the desert oasis. Of course, the contestants don't know this news yet.

Jiang Yi looked at the internal competition procedures in advance.

The third round is the battle for the championship. The "Crown of Talent and Knowledge" is hidden in the dense forest. The contestants use their own means to find the "Crown of Talent and Knowledge" and compete for it, and send it to the end of the competition.

Each round will be scored, and the college with the highest score will be the champion of this competition.

There were huge crowds of people in front of the big screen.

Tourists, businessmen, academic scholars, the Gilded Brigade… were all watching the simultaneous live broadcast at the main venue.

Of course, it is not absolutely synchronized, but it is given to the staff to slice and edit, so that in case of emergencies, they can deal with the live broadcast slightly delayed.

When the game started, the faces of representatives from each academy appeared on the big screen. They showed off their talents, either forming teams, or going alone, or throwing out mechanical butterflies to confuse the audience... or, like the representatives of the Cause Theory School, taking a leisurely stroll.

The contestants' jade slips were confiscated, and they were unable to watch the live broadcast to check the progress of other contestants. The organizers also notified the audience watching the competition in advance not to disclose news of the competition progress to the contestants at will.

"Kavi's reason for participating in the competition is that he wants to use the prize money to buy a house. Hmm, plain and simple." Charlotte took notes, "But... he said that when he was a child, his father participated in the college championship but failed to win."

"At this moment, I am participating in the competition with the wish to fulfill my father's dream."

"His father went on a trip to the desert many years ago and died accidentally when he encountered quicksand... The son followed in his father's footsteps... Hmm! This seems like a good and very inspiring news headline."

She rolled her eyes.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang Yi, did you notice that Miss Ying looked a little strange after seeing the 'Crown of Talent and Knowledge'?"

"Like... falling asleep."

Charlotte frowned as she described the strange state.

"Oh!" Jiang Yi responded calmly.

"???" Charlotte tilted her head. Isn't she your girlfriend? Is this how you care about your girlfriend when she's feeling unwell?

"Don't make a fuss. Special people always notice things that others don't." Jiang Yi patted Charlotte's shoulder. "Also, I'm going to Omos Port now. Miss Charlotte, please do as you please."

He pulled up Xiaogong who was posting "bullet screen".

Charlotte held her chin with her hand, as if she could smell the mysterious atmosphere of the competition.

The host said that this "Crown of Knowledge" which symbolizes the honor of the Faithful Court was bought by a scholar named Saziin at a high price 20 years ago and donated to the Faithful Court. The generous prize money offered by the competition also came from his sponsorship.

It’s just that the other party claims that they will watch every game on site, but no one has ever seen them.

"...Why was the famous adventurer, the blond traveler, born in the arena? Why did the human god hidden in the sea of ​​people leave a meaningful code? Where is the scholar?"

"Please watch the Charlotte Detective series..."

"Wait a minute, what is Mr. Jiang Yi doing in Omos Port?"

When she looked up, she found that there was no one there.

At the organizer's seat, a middle-aged man with white hair, who looked like a ghost and could not be seen by people, was looking up at the screen.

"Port Omos..."

"The first 'Moon Lotus Cup Trainer Competition' in Teyvat, hosted by the God of Man himself." Charlotte finally remembered that this competition overlapped with the Academy Championship, but was also equally popular.

This week, viewers can happily watch two types of ceremonies at the same time.

Because foreigners can also watch the live broadcast, both events are very popular.

……

The original name of the "Moon Lotus Cup Trainer Competition" was the "Moon Lotus Cup Beast Tamer Competition". A sponsor purchased the research results of a scholar from the Academy of Teachings, and with ulterior motives, he wanted to create chaos in Xumi.

This chaos was nipped in the bud by Jiang Yi just when the sponsor had just purchased the research results of the scholars from the Academy of Teachings.

The sponsors were the Solstice Intelligence personnel who were not taken with them when the Doctor evacuated. They were the remnants of the Executive Officer, and they planned this event out of a twisted belief in order to wash away the shame of the Executive Officer and climb to a higher position.

A tamer, as the name suggests, is someone who tames dangerous creatures and beasts in Teyvat, such as the mushroom beasts that have not yet become the followers of the Forest King.

The taming device is a kind of control device called "Mind and Wisdom Orb" that can capture and store mushroom beasts, allowing humans and mushroom beasts to become fighting partners.

The intelligence personnel of Zhidong wanted to use the influence of the competition to hold it one after another. When people got used to having mushroom beasts around them, they started inputting the program behind the "Mind and Wisdom Orb" and fed the mushroom beasts with "special snacks" with abnormal effects to make them lose control and become violent, causing great harm to the people of Xumi.

Jiang Yi had always wanted to hold a beast taming competition and bring changes to Teyvat. In order to prevent such a competition from being tainted, he naturally crushed the conspiracy and asked the disciplinary officer to confiscate the other party's sponsorship funds, which were basically stolen money, and sent the other party to jail.

Because he didn't like the condescending term "tamer", which seemed to regard mushroom beasts and other creatures as low-level creatures, he changed the name "tamer" to "trainer".

The partners that can be cultivated also include all life forms in Teyvat that are friendly to humans, mainly elemental creatures.

Trainers are people who capture, train, care for, and live with elemental creatures. They can also be breeders, rangers, and other professions.

A huge new building was built in the port of Omos this year, the "Teyvat Sumeru Trainer and Partner Center", where beautiful and gentle young ladies take care of the mushroom beasts that come to the town and like to play with humans, and provide some help to the "novice trainers", such as accommodation, lunch, treatment, inquiry and other services.

This is a new ecology formed after the will of the Forest King spread in the forest and most of the mushroom beasts became friendly and peaceful.

Of course, it was also due to the spread of some trainer and partner games and short animations that Jiang Yi had previously launched on the jade slips.

It allows everyone to understand and accept the setting of the trainer profession in advance, as well as buildings such as the "Trainer and Partner Center" that appear in games and animations.

Even children know that by having their partners compete against other people's partners, they can collect different badges of the "Seven Elements and Universal Element". Then they can challenge "gym" owners who have powerful partners, maintain the number of elemental creatures in an area, and resolve disasters, and qualify for higher-level competitions.

"Wow! What a spectacular venue..." Xiao Gong looked at the main arena in front of him. Last night, the entire arena was covered with cloth, preventing the audience from seeing the huge mural. Now take a look.

"It shows a slime from the Wolfrunner Primeval Forest in Mondstadt that can grow to the size of a house; a young rock dragon lizard from Liyue that has a clear evolutionary path; a group of floating spirits from Inazuma; mushroom beasts from Xumi that can also evolve, or even super evolve; aquatic creatures from the Fontaine waters that can spit out different water skills; and a dragon companion from Nata that can swim in the water, fly in the sky, and run on the ground..."

"And the most dangerous, theoretically impossible to subdue, 'Abyss-type' monster, the Beast Realm Hound..."

She asked excitedly, “Will all these creatures appear in the arena?”

"..." Jiang Yi coughed twice, "It's just a big promise! The contestants this time are already amazing for bringing slimes, baby rock dragons, trick flowers, floating spirits, mushroom beasts... to participate in the competition."

Apart from the Nata people who already live with dragons, no one has ever tamed the dragons of Nata. The aquatic creatures of Fontaine are difficult to raise, and they also have to solve the problem of adaptability to the waters. It would be better to catch aquatic monsters and sea beasts in the sea...

As for the Explosive Tree, which is at the top of its own species, Tevarin and the like, forget about it.

There were people in Liyue who tried to capture Rock Dragon Lizards and Ancient Rock Dragon Lizards, but they all met bad results. There were also people in the desert oasis who tried to capture Sandworms, Flying Snakes, and Holy Scorpions... Hmm! They are already receiving treatment at the Lotus Temple.

And you want to conquer the hillbillies... Ugh! Don't do such crooked things.

The “Jewel of Wisdom” is not used in this way.

As for the captured crystal butterflies who come to participate in the competition, just be happy! I can hold a "gorgeous show" for you at the branch venue, showing flying skills and "the beauty of your partner".

Oh! I heard that someone threw the "Mind Orb" at Inazuma's fox and was invited by Yae Shinko to watch "Killing Sakura".

A brand new version of "The Orb of Wisdom" under the personal guidance of Jiang Yi.

It solves the problem that people who are not physically strong enough are unable to resist the elemental forces emitted by the elemental creatures, that is, the companions they have subdued, and thus suffer physical discomfort.

The "Mind Orb" will collect the elemental forces that affect the human body and serve as a space environment for elemental creatures. It will be sealed inside and will no longer affect human health. It can also improve the comfort of elemental creatures in the "orb", which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

The jade slips that people carry can also resist the erosion of elemental forces. The principle is the same.

Beast taming is an extremely ancient skill and profession in Teyvat. Just talking about Xumi, when people didn't know about it, scholars of the Life Theory School once used "fungus beasts" as experimental creatures and fed them "dehydration potions" that could suppress the vitality of the elements in their bodies. However, the theory went wrong, and instead the opposite occurred, driving these creatures wild and causing the mushroom beasts to escape out of control. It also caused a huge nightmare to a group of innocent Xumi people in the wild, and the horror of the mushroom beasts was passed down from mouth to mouth among later generations.

In order to capture these out-of-control mushroom beasts, scholars of the Life Theory School invented a "capture device", which was the prototype of the "Orb of Mind".

The technology purchased by Zhidong intelligence personnel from scholars of the Ministry of Education was the result of the scholars of the Ministry of Education packaging their previous research.

These include snacks and culture products such as "Flower Agar" that can activate the potential of mushroom beasts, provide nutrients for them to absorb and gain "combat skills". The earliest prototype was the "Desiccation Potion" that made mushroom beasts lose control and become violent.

Scholars reduced the efficacy of the medicine, added stabilizers, and allowed the mushroom beasts that took "Flower Agar" to heal their wounds after fighting.

The activation of the scholar version is temporary, making the low-level mushroom beasts more active and temporarily gaining some special abilities, comparable to those warriors among the mushroom beasts. However, when the effect of the drug wears off, the mushroom beasts will not have the strength to continue using combat skills.

Of course, this scholar's improvement on two technologies that had caused disasters and were sealed in the House of the Decrees could not really be considered an invention, and... he had already been investigated by Seno for violating discipline.

After Jiang Yi took over, he arranged for other scholars of the Life Theory School to continue the research.

This makes the "Flower Agar" become like a pill, an item that can permanently and gradually enhance the power of the mushroom beast.

As for the "Orb of Wisdom", the technology has something in common with Inazuma's net of all directions for "capturing the spirits and forms of animals", and if you trace it back to the fairy magic of Liyue.
