Xie Sen reopened the livestream and the livestream interface, still splitting the screen left and right. He soothed the giant rhinoceros, who was watching him expectantly and ready to rise at any moment, "Wait a minute, your turn will be up soon." He thought for a moment and then reminded, "If anyone sends you gifts again, keep your voices down."
He raised his hand to restart the livestream, his eyes flickering to the left barrage of comments, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"The contracted beasts must have been unable to control their excitement, and the livestream host must have shut down the stream to discipline them! Look at the giant spotted leopard beast's reaction earlier, the host
must be incredibly aggressive!" "Wow, host, come out! You're not allowed to be aggressive with them!"
Xie Sen was speechless. These viewers were so imaginative, weren't they? They didn't even think about how these giant beasts could possibly be disciplined. Besides, how was he aggressive?
He clicked the livestream button, and the contracted beasts immediately appeared on the left screen. Their excitement had passed, and they lay still, wagging their tails.
"Sorry, the signal was bad just now, so the livestream was interrupted," Xie Sen said seriously.
"Lying streamer, I'm following you!"
"What a lame excuse! Who would believe it? But it doesn't matter. Just let me see your contracted beast."
"Hahaha, the boss who just tipped me must be upset. He gave me a big gift, and then the livestream was interrupted."
Xie Sen checked the gift records and said, "Thank you, 'Feng', for the watermelon rain. Thank you."
He looked at the top of the gift list, 'Feng'. There was nothing in front of his name. Thinking of the livestreams he had seen before, he thought about getting a contracted beast guardian title in the livestream room, preferably with a contracted beast avatar badge.
That way, the gift giver would have a badge and title before their name, and they could choose their favorite contracted beast as their avatar badge.
After expressing his gratitude, he continued, "Thank you, two giant elephants, for your wonderful show. Next, the giant rhinoceros will give everyone a powerful performance."
The giant rhinoceros stood up from the far right of the back row and ran to the right, disappearing from the camera. A moment later, he pushed in a metal plate, which was placed on a base like a screen. He pushed it all the way to the center before stopping.
Xie Sen watched its movements, anticipating any mishaps, while also examining the comments.
"Shouldn't the staff be responsible for preparing the props? Why are they doing it all on their own?"
"How clever! They're preparing their own props!"
"The host is so stingy! They should hire a few staff members."
"If you're hiring, please send me a notice! I want to apply!"
"I want one too!"
Xie Sen thought. Applying for a job was fake, but seeing the contracted beasts was real. Especially since the owners of the contracted beasts had ulterior motives.
The giant rhinoceros placed the metal plate in the position Xie Sen had previously instructed and barked in his direction. Xie Sen nodded and said, "The rhinoceros horn is a key weapon of the giant rhinoceros. Let's see how far it dents the metal plate when it strikes it with its horn. We'll see for now, but next time I'll have a guessing game." As it spoke
, the giant rhinoceros took a few steps back. After he finished speaking, the giant rhinoceros lowered its head slightly and ran towards the metal plate, its horn directly impacting it.
With a loud "bang," the giant rhinoceros' horn smashed through the metal plate.
The giant rhinoceros remained motionless, pounding the plate, turning its head to look in Xie Sen's direction. After a moment, it took a step back and pulled its horn out of the hole in the metal plate.
"Moo!" it barked at Xie Sen, its tail drooping. It knew it had bought the metal plate, paid for it, and now it had damaged it.
"Hahaha, it's dented! It's broken directly! Fortunately, there is no guessing, otherwise I would suspect that the anchor has figured it out?"
"I know this kind of metal plate. It is one of the most hard and tough ones on the market. The giant rhinoceros can actually penetrate it directly. It's amazing!"
"Cool, if my contracted beast is so powerful, who should I be afraid of?"
"Why do I feel that the giant rhinoceros is so aggrieved? Did the anchor yell at it in a place we can't see? It's just a piece of metal plate, don't yell at it!"
"I'm giving you a gift, go buy a new one, don't yell at it!"
Xie Sen listened to a series of gift announcements and reluctantly accepted his fierce personality. Seeing the giant rhinoceros standing there blinking at him, he smiled: "The giant rhinoceros is really great. After seeing its performance, I don't think anyone will want to challenge its rhino horn."
He said to the giant rhinoceros: "Go back and lie down and rest."
The giant rhinoceros felt relieved after hearing the compliment, and steadily pushed the metal plate out of the screen, then lay back in place.
The audience, Gigantomon and Gigantomon, were incredibly professional, clapping and cheering excitedly.
"Still so cute even after watching it again!"
"They're like this every time they perform, even their cries are the same. Is that intentional?"
"How clever! The timing of their support is perfect."
The gift announcement: "'Feng' is giving the host a rain of watermelons."
Xie Sen's live screen immediately exploded with watermelon rain fireworks, the special effects dazzling.
"Host, keep your hands steady! Don't interrupt the stream again!"
"Watch the rich!"
The contracted beasts also cheered, though their voices were restrained. Xie Sen said, "Thank you for the gift, Feng. Thank you. Next, we'll show you the attack performance of Gigantomon." As soon as
he finished speaking, all the contracted beasts, except for Gigantomon, stood up and crouched in two teams at the left and right edges of the live broadcast room, leaving the center clear.
The giant tiger beast stood up, retreated to the farthest point facing the camera, then suddenly broke into a run. With a high leap, its toned muscles flexed, it landed gracefully in the blink of an eye. Its muscles tensed, its neck and head lowered slightly, and it opened its mouth wide towards the camera, revealing sharp, gleaming teeth.
A roar filled the air with murderous intent, a commanding presence.
Xie Sen had prepared, having lowered the volume considerably on the streamer's panel. Even so, the raw, ferocious roar, both visually and auditorily, still sent shockwaves through the viewers' hearts.
It was too real, the giant tiger beast approaching so swiftly from a distance that it felt as if it were running towards them. Some viewers, especially those who wanted a better view, expanded the livestream to encompass the entire wall. The visual effect made it seem as if the tiger beast was about to bite them in the neck.
The comments instantly fell silent.
After the giant tiger beast roared, it opened its mouth and made a biting motion, while it raised its claws and slammed the ground with a violent impact sound. It didn't feel anything at all, and twisted its body swiftly, and its tail stretched straight and hit the ground like a whip, with another loud noise.
It performed the usual moves used in hunting, which were not fancy, but full of power, which made people's blood boil. The moment the claws swung through the air, a bright white silver line was drawn. Just looking at it, you can tell that it was extremely sharp.
"Awoo~~" After a while, it finished its performance, stood on all fours, tilted its big head, raised its right foot and shook it towards the camera, like a lucky cat.
In an instant, it turned from a ferocious beast into a cute creature.
"Ahhh, God, this is too unfair! I was watching with blood boiling, how could it suddenly be so cute!"
"This is simply the beast of dreams, so awesome!"
"I was holding my breath. That last one, I almost got a stitch in the side."
Xie Sen smiled. He'd added the final move to Giant Tigermon on purpose, thinking the livestream was aimed at everyone, and too much violence wouldn't be a good idea. So, he added a cute touch at the end, just in case there were children watching, it would soothe them.
"Thank you, Giant Tigermon, go and rest."
All the contracted beasts moved, lying down in their original formation. After Giant Lionmon and Giant Wolfmon did, they cheered and applauded as usual.
Xie Sen patted his head, thinking the cheering was a bit awkward. He glanced at the comments: the audience didn't seem to notice at all; they were all laughing and praising.
"Hahaha, I get it. They're just cheering. After the show, they just lay down and applauded."
"Smart! Cute! Adorable! From today on, I'm their fan. Host, when can you arrange a fan meeting?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm a fan too. A passionate fan. Fan meeting!
Gift announcement: "'Feng' is giving the host a watermelon rain." "
A watermelon rain bloomed on the live broadcast screen again, and a series of comments such as "freeloading on the rich" and "holding the rich's thighs" immediately appeared in the barrage.
Xie Sen thanked him again. He looked at the number one on the fan list, 'Feng', and secretly guessed what kind of contracted beast he was.
He glanced around and found that the popularity of the live broadcast room was almost four million. He was stunned. This speed was too fast. His eyes lit up and he smiled: "Thank you for your support. You can click to follow and then download the live broadcast platform. I will broadcast here regularly in the future."
Immediately, there were a lot of barrages asking about the live broadcast time. Xie Sen said: "The live broadcast time is not yet determined. If it is confirmed, an announcement will be made. What do you want to see next? These are the performances for now."
"The other contracted beasts haven't performed yet?"
Xie Sen smiled: "The performance items of Giant Lion Beast and Giant Wolf Beast have not been decided yet. They are currently the audience. What do you think of their performance as an audience? If so, the screen will hit 1.
A string of ones appeared at the top of the screen. Giant Lion and Giant Wolf stretched their necks to look at Xie Sen with anticipation. Xie Sen smiled and said, "All ones. The audience really agrees with you." The
gift announcement: "'Feng' is giving the host a watermelon rain."
The system's gift barrage had a flashing reminder box, followed by the system's own message of encouragement for the host. Previously, when 'Feng' was giving gifts, the system had defaulted to the message, but this time, all were ones.
Xie Sen raised an eyebrow. It seemed to be directed at Giant Lion or Giant Wolf. He thanked them as usual.
He rolled his eyes. Since there was no program, why not improvise? He asked the two brothers Giant Leopard to come to the front for a fashion show, one showcasing his strength and beauty, the other acting cute at the side. After a while, the two brothers started to make a fuss, running around the camera at a speed so fast that they seemed like phantoms.
"My God, this is too fast!"
"The spotted leopard is so good at acting cute!"
"Ahhh, I want to rub, I want to touch, is the host hiring?" "I'll help you out, even feed them!"
"Me, me, me, look at me, I can do everything!"
Xie Sen declined with a smile, indicating that he wasn't hiring for the time being. He switched the camera to a panoramic view from the top and said to the contracted beasts, "Have fun! The performance ends here, and the livestream continues. If you don't want to be filmed, tell me and I'll turn off the livestream."
The cries of the various contracted beasts rang out, and they rose from the ground and ran straight towards Xie Sen. Xie Sen's position was a blind spot, so the audience could see the contracted beasts huddled together, revealing most of their bodies and no heads.
Xie Sen's mind was filled with questions: "Asen, did I perform well?" "Asen, how much money did you make?" "Asen..."
Xie Sen praised each one, saying they all performed well. Then he glanced backstage, his eyes widening in shock: "We made a lot. After dividing the profits with the company, it's almost 200,000."
The giant rhinoceros said, "Half is Arsen's. We have 100,000."
The giant tiger beast asked excitedly, "Asen, can we buy the big ball now?" "
Spotted Giant Leopard Beast: "Can we buy the oversized cushions now?"
Each one was asking if they could buy what they wanted. Xie Sen said, "Yes, don't worry, we'll buy them one by one online."
"Host! Your camera sense is terrible! Quick, show their heads!"
"Host, what are you doing? Go to the middle. I can't see them all."
Xie Sen glanced at the comments, thought for a moment, and then walked towards the middle, sticking close to the Giant Tiger Beast. They were so tall that he was surrounded, and the audience couldn't see his face at all.
"Host, you're so lucky!" many people sighed.
Xie Sen glanced at the screen and sat down in the center of the shot. The other contracted beasts crouched around him with their heads facing the center. He adjusted the camera to a bird's-eye view, with his back to the camera. The audience could see him but not his face.
After adjusting the camera, he said, "I'll buy them some things. Everyone can help me with some references."
He rubbed the Giant Tiger Beast's paw. "Let's buy the Giant Tiger Beast's big round ball first." "
The giant tiger beast excitedly flicked its tail, lowered its head and rubbed against Xie Sen. Xie Sen's body tilted to the side due to the rubbing, and he chuckled: "Stop it."
The giant elephant beast stretched out its trunk to support him, and he touched the giant elephant beast's trunk: "Thank you, little elephant."
"Jealous!"
"I'm jealous!"
"Ahhh, the anchor is so awesome! Why does it feel like raising a contracted beast is like raising a pet? Can I raise one with you?"
Maine sat in the shuttle driver's seat, watching Xie Sen and the contracted beasts picking toys together, his eyes incredibly gentle. He tapped Xie Sen's body with his fingers, then withdrew his hand, put his fingers to his lips, and licked them.
Yan Qi's voice came from the headset: "I saw him."
Maine's eyes suddenly became sharp. He took a deep look at the live broadcast, turned off the bracelet, and dialed a call. After the other party answered, he lowered his voice and said: "The giant lion beast is in the eastern part of the forest. Soria has arranged for people to capture it."
"Who are you? Why did you tell me? "The other party asked in surprise.
"The person who helped you, Ruiluo killed my brother in the training camp, and I want revenge." Maine's tone was cold.
Many families knew that Ruiluo had killed his companions in the training camp and was sent back, but the specific details were concealed by the Kes family.
"What do you want to do?" The other party's voice was a little excited and a little frightened.
Maine raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry about what I do, you don't have to do anything, just go to the forest to find the giant lion beast, I wish you a successful contract."
The other party was about to say something, but Maine had already hung up the call, staring coldly at the number on the screen, and sneered. With his investigation of Kumer Kes, he would never miss such a good opportunity!
He listened to the movement in the headset and sent a message: "Okay."
Not long after, Yanqi's voice came from the headset again: "Rohart, why are you here?"
"Archie," Rohart greeted with a smile, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was going to visit Ruiluo today. He has been locked up at home for a few days and must be bored. I bought something for him. "
Yan Qi was surprised: "Is he still at home? Doesn't that mean..." He suddenly hung up.
Luo Hart was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Yan Qi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "A giant lion beast appeared in the east of the forest. I heard Kumo has already rushed there. Maybe we can form a bond right there."
"Huh?" Rohart was surprised and whispered back, "Kumo has been with Lieutenant General Meier all this time. If he succeeds in forming a bond, then Rui Luo..."
Yan Qi said, "That's not guaranteed. I have something else to do, so I
'll have to go back to the army." "Oh, okay. Let's hang out sometime."
"Okay."
After Yan Qi finished speaking, only a cacophony of voices filled the headset. After a moment, the shuttle door opened and closed. There was a moment of silence, and then Yan Qi said, "Did it as you said."
Maine sent a message: "Good, the monitor is broken. Happy working together."
Yan Qi reached into his chest pocket, pulled out the soybean-sized monitor, opened the window and threw it out. He closed the window, deleted all the message records, looked forward with a determined look, and started the shuttle.
Maine switched the monitor, and heard Soria and Meier arguing, and then a series of complaints from him after Meier left.
He leaned back in his chair expressionlessly and turned on the live broadcast again.
Xie Sen was still choosing a large ball for the giant tiger beast. He pointed at the various merchants selling toy balls on the bracelet screen with a helpless tone.
"These don't work, what should I do? You are right, hard plastic products will probably not last more than a minute under the claws of the giant tiger beast. In this case, we can only buy iron balls, and they have to be solid, otherwise, like the giant rhinoceros, one claw will scratch a hole." "
Okay, I'm afraid this can't be bought for the time being. I'll find someone to customize it. Does anyone know a factory that can make large iron balls? Hey, do you know 'Feng'? Add me as a friend and send me a private message."
Maine stared at 'Feng' and frowned. He opened the live broadcast room management panel, searched for the IP directly, and started positioning. He looked at the familiar address, hesitated for two seconds, and sent a private message to 'Feng' through the live broadcast room.
"Huo Feng?"
"Who are you?"
"Main, the anchor is mine, don't get anything wrong," Maine said coldly. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"I'm not interested in him. My target is the Giant Wolf Beast... I think we can work together more happily. Introduce your man to me. I want to meet the Giant Wolf Beast."
Maine: "Are you the Giant Wolf Beast's owner?"
Huo Feng: "Yes, I'm interested in it."
Maine: "I'll go back and discuss it with him. Warning, he treats his contracted beasts as friends, so don't get any ulterior motives!"
Huo Feng: "I can't believe you value someone so much. Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I'm confident in my abilities and have plenty of patience."
"That's good. When will the finished product be out?" Maine asked casually about work.
"If nothing goes wrong, it will be at the end of May. I look forward to your new product," Huo Feng said.
At this moment, Rohart's voice came from the headset. Maine didn't continue the conversation. He switched to the live broadcast room, glanced at Xie Sen, then turned it off and listened to the conversation on the headset.
Rohart greeted Soria, and after chatting with Ruilo for a few words, he soon couldn't help but tell him about Kummer going to find the contracted beast. Ruilo excitedly said: "What, he went by himself?"
The sound of scattered footsteps was heard. It should be Ruilo walking around anxiously. After a while, Ruilo said: "No, I have to go to the forest, otherwise Kummer will get there first."
"Didn't your father forbid you to go out?"
Ruilo: "It's okay, he is not at home now."
Soria frowned. After hearing what Ruilo said, his first reaction was to disapprove, but Ruilo's tone was firm: "Dad, Kummer went there in person, he must have been prepared to form a contract on the spot!"
"He may not succeed. The people I arranged arrived before him." Soria said.
"Father must have told him how to form a bond!" Rui Luo said anxiously. "Dad, I have to go. Father is already preparing to train Kummer. If he forms a bond, Father and Grandfather will definitely value him more."
Soria hesitated for a moment. "Here are the contact information for the people I arranged. There are four of them, all very skilled. I'll have two continue to look for the giant lion beast, the other two will pick you up at the edge of the forest, and the two bodyguards will take you there." "
Thank you, Dad. I will definitely succeed in forming a bond!"
Rohat said. "What a shame. I have something else to do later. Otherwise, I would definitely go with you and watch you form the bond in person." With that, he said goodbye and left.
Maine listened to the series of arrangements coming from the headphones, sitting expressionless, estimating the time, and starting the shuttle.
Richlo reached the edge of the forest, his face brimming with excitement. He tried to contact the two men who had come to pick him up, but after two attempts, there was no response. He exclaimed angrily, "How could they be so unreliable?"
The bodyguard replied, "We even checked our location beforehand. Could we be in danger?"
"What danger is there at the edge of the forest?" Richlo scoffed. "Let's head inward from the direction the giant lion beast appeared. Maybe we'll encounter it. If we dawdle like this, even if we do, we
'll be slower than Kummer. Keep contacting them as you go." The bodyguard reassured him, "Madam has people guarding the area. We won't let Kummer succeed so easily."
Richlo and the other two continued inside. The bodyguard kept trying to contact their escort, but all their calls went unanswered.
Maine stood behind the bushes not far from them, his left hand resting on the spot where the bracelet would be. His eyes were cold, and when he looked back up, his expression was filled with panic.
He moved delicately to the right in front of the three men and made a noise.
"What's that?" the bodyguard glanced alertly at the source of the noise.
Maine limped out from behind the tree, glanced at them in panic, and then hurried inside.
Ruiluo looked at the blood-soaked Maine, surprised at first, then a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Without a second thought, he ran after him: "Chase him, don't let him get out alive!"
The bodyguard hurried to catch up: "Master, be careful."
Maine ran all the way inside, keeping a distance of five or six steps from Ruiluo. When they reached the planned location, Maine suddenly stopped and turned, pulling out the knife from his backpack and stabbing Ruiluo with the blade.
Ruiluo had been trying hard to catch up with Maine, and his speed was so fast that he was completely unprepared for Maine's sudden movement. He collided directly with the knife, and his body was pierced by the knife, causing him to feel intense pain.
He stared in disbelief,
his eyes widening. "You..." Maine's eyes were dark and cold. "This knife tastes good, doesn't it?" He yanked it out, drawing a trail of blood that quickly fell to the ground, staining the fallen leaves red.
Rui Luo stared at the knife. It was the same knife he had used to scratch Maine during the league match, the same one he had used during their fight in the parking lot. Maine had picked it up then.
Maine kicked him to the ground. Seeing him tremblingly raise his left hand, he sneered, "Why do you think I lured you here?"
Rui Luo stared at the wristband that had no signal. His eyes widened to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood, his breaths gasping for air. He felt the life force slipping away.
No, he was still so young, how could he die!
"I was wrong. Help..."
Maine ignored him, looking at the shocked and terrified bodyguards accompanying Rui Luo. Without a word, he rushed forward with knife in hand, swift and fierce.
After a while, the sounds of fighting died down. Maine, expressionless, pulled the knife from the bodyguard's body. He walked over to Rui Luo, whose face was dazed and filled with fear. He bent down and plunged the knife vertically into Rui Luo's left palm. Rui Luo's eyelids fluttered faintly .
"I can tolerate your attempt on me, but you shouldn't have targeted him. If you use this knife to try to hurt him, you must be prepared to die by it."
Rui Luo's eyes suddenly widened with hatred. He had clearly come to kill Maine, and he even thought he would succeed this time, but he had never expected Maine to trick him.
His fingers moved, then suddenly stopped, and his last weak breath faded.
Maine finished his words coldly, without even glancing at him. He retrieved the signal isolation devices he had placed around him, stripped off his blood-soaked clothes, frowned at the wounds on his waist and arms, bandaged them, and changed into a clean black T-shirt.
He erased all traces, without looking back, and took a detour, leaving the forest from the other side.
