Chapter 878: Chapter 747: Debut (Two in One)

“So the contest is starting, what’s got you so excited, is there a celebrity you like participating?” one of the classmates asked.

“Yeah!” the blonde-haired male student who initiated the topic responded, “Apollo, ‘The Strongest Gathered,’ have you seen it? He’s the lead actor, and he looks super cool in it! He staged an incredible grassroots counterattack from the Lower Districts to the Upper Districts, became the A-level Beastmaster champion on the duel stage, and then returned to the Lower Districts with a group of friends to solve the Wild Pet Beast problem and protect the common folks. You should really check it out, it’s so thrilling!”

Another classmate with spiky hair waved his hand dismissively:

“That’s just acting, not real.”

The blonde-haired student’s face suddenly darkened:

“You couldn’t pull it off even if you tried.”

The spiky-haired classmate chuckled dismissively, “I wouldn’t want to be an actor anyway.”

“Alright, alright, stop arguing,” Dorothy quickly intervened.

The blonde-haired and spiky-haired students turned their heads to look at Dorothy and unintentionally glanced at Qiao Sang sitting next to her, then exchanged looks and coldly snorted, turning away in a show of giving face to her.

“Seriously, just a casual chat and it nearly turns into a fight,” Dorothy complained and then turned her head to whisper to Qiao Sang, “Do you want to go watch the Beast Tamer Celebrity Contest tonight? I got two tickets.”

Qiao Sang gave her a strange look:

“You’re interested in the Beast Tamer Celebrity Contest too?”

Dorothy pondered for a moment and said:

“It’s alright, this has been the most-followed event lately. All those Artifact Masters and Spirit Rune Masters are promoting it, bragging about how amazing the stars mainly from their professions are. As a Professional Beast Tamer, I should really go and support them at the venue.”

Qiao Sang listened attentively but was contemplating something:

The Beast Tamer Celebrity Contest is not just for Professional Beast Tamers; there are also many celebrities who are famous primarily as Artifact Masters and Spirit Rune Masters competing against them. It seems like getting their detailed information in advance and understanding it still presents unpredictabilities.

Regardless, artifacts and spirit marks can be changed before the contest, unlike Pet Beasts, levels, attributes, and data, which are all laid out there…

It seems relying too heavily on data isn’t wise; the ability to adapt on the spot is still very important…

“Do you want to go together?” Dorothy asked again.

“No, thanks,” Qiao Sang responded, “An elder is taking me to a contest tonight.”

If it were just her and Dorothy, that would be fine, but adding a teacher from the Imperial Beast Mastery Academy would be inconvenient.

“What contest?” Dorothy asked curiously.

Qiao Sang coughed and lowered her voice, “The Beast Tamer Celebrity Contest.”

Dorothy: “???”

At the same time, the whole class suddenly turned their attention her way.

My voice was so low, yet you all still heard it so clearly… Qiao Sang sensed everyone’s gaze, internally commenting but kept a calm face.

She had also once been indoctrinated, so she knew these guys were paying attention, which explained their reaction.

“You’re participating in the Beast Tamer Celebrity Contest?”

“Really? Is that true?”

“I thought only celebrities could participate.”

“What are you saying! Isn’t Qiao Sang more awesome than those celebrities!”

“I didn’t mean it like that! I mean she isn’t a celebrity!”

People were speaking one after another, the discussion becoming very intense.

Qiao Sang coughed and said, “That…”

Everyone instantly quieted down, focusing their attention back on her.

Being a public figure isn’t easy… Qiao Sang relayed Billet’s explanation, “The Ghost Ring King once starred in a promotional film and even had a cameo in a movie, so I barely managed to register successfully.”

If someone else had said this, their classmates would have ridiculed them to death.

Just a promotional film and a minor movie cameo qualifies you as a celebrity now?

You know, to participate in the Beast Tamer Celebrity Contest, without exception, all are current celebrities whose names people can recall, not just anyone who plays minor roles or appears in a few commercials.

But these words from Qiao Demon’s mouth made everyone suddenly feel it was reasonable, not noticing any issues.

“So that’s the case…”

“Ghost Ring King had a cameo in a movie?! What movie, I’ll watch it right away!”

“What promotional film? I’ve never seen it!”

“Damn, a Variant Color Pet Beast from Blue Star shot a promotional film and a movie and I didn’t hear anything about it!”

“It seems someone is afraid of Qiao Sang’s popularity; it must have been suppressed on social media.”
