Chapter 163 Rice Ball Evolution and Battle Pet Cup Format
After playing around with Rice Ball and Miler for a while, Rice Ball settled back into its rice-eating business, and Miler didn't disturb Rice Ball's meal anymore.
Sitting back in the chair, leaning against the backrest, he watched the rice ball eat bamboo shoots with a rare tenderness.
Lei Jun and Yu Fei were also drawn to the mukbang (eating broadcast) by Fantuan, watching Fantuan cook rice and chatting about trivial topics.
"Huh?!" Yufei and the others, who were chatting, stood up in shock as they stared at Fantuan.
After eating more than twenty rice balls and bamboo shoots, the panda's entire body began to glow white. Yufei and the others watched in disbelief as this white light enveloped the panda, transforming it into a dazzling white cocoon.
"Bang! Bang bang!! Bang! Bang bang!!" The white cocoon of light beat rhythmically like a heart for several minutes.
"Is Rice Ball alright?" Yufei looked worriedly at Rice Ball, who had turned into a cocoon of light. Could it be that eating food from their Blue Star caused some kind of problem?
"It's evolving!" Miler looked at the rice ball's luminous cocoon and felt not worry, but rather overflowing excitement and joy.
Seeing Miler's reaction, Yufei felt relieved; thankfully, Miler didn't have any adverse reaction to Daxia's food.
Judging from Miler's reaction, it seems that things from their Blue Star have a positive effect on the rice ball.
"Yo-ho~" The rice ball has completed its evolution, and the white light on its body has disappeared, revealing its current form.
Compared to before, the rice ball hasn't changed much; it still looks like the giant panda that Yufei and the others are familiar with. However, Yufei and the others feel that the rice ball seems to have grown bigger than before.
Before its evolution, the rice ball really did look like a rice ball—plump and chubby, like a doll.
The evolved rice ball now exudes a sense of power, giving the feeling that it has transformed from a doll-like child into a handsome man in just a few short minutes.
This contrast took Yufei a while to process, while Lei Jun and Qi Huang excitedly patted the rice ball all over, muttering, "So cool!"
This also made Yufei fully realize one thing: masculine men attract women, but too many masculine men might attract not women, but a whole bunch of men.
"Rice Ball, you've evolved!" Miler happily buried herself in the arms of the 5-meter-tall rice ball.
"Yo-ho~" Rice Ball happily hugged Miler and laughed, responding to her joyfully.
"Sister Yufei! My rice ball has grown up! It told me it has learned so many amazing skills!" Miler happily shared her joy with Yufei.
It looked like it had seen something, and its already raised tail drooped down.
"It's a pity we can't let our rice ball stretch its muscles. We haven't been able to let it participate in any battles yet, and we feel really bad for it." Miler looked at the rice ball with eyes full of guilt.
"Yo hoo"
I'm fine now. I'm happy with Miler.
Rice Ball squatted down and bent over, bobbing its big head into Miler's arms, just like when it was a puppy, affectionately comforting Miler.
"It's okay, Miler~ You've already decided to participate in the Pet Battle Cup, right? You'll definitely be participating in more than just one or two matches later on~ You'll see all sorts of opponents then."
Yufei also comforted Miler.
"Yes! The preliminary rounds for the battle pet competition start in two days! Rice Ball, let's do our best!" Miler's drooping tail regained its fighting spirit, filled with hope for the future.
"Yo hoo"
I'll do my best!
"By the way, I wonder how much it costs to summon a beast using the summoning circle?" Yufei looked at Miler and Fantuan with envy, wishing she could have her own summoned beast the very next second.
"1000 yuan per time," Miler thought for a moment. She hadn't been to the summoning array in a long time. Speaking of which, she also needed to go to the Beast God Temple again to summon a few more summoned beasts as backup beasts for the competition.
The battle pet competition is divided into several stages: preliminary rounds, bronze, silver, platinum, diamond, master, supreme king, four kings, and the final championship.
The format used up until the Masters Tournament was randomized, with a single match determining the winner. Some have argued that this was unfair, as it could sometimes result in matches between strong and weak teams.
But the first Porowood champion, who set the rules, said that luck is also a form of skill! Oh, and their random assignments are determined by drawing lots.
The subsequent Masters Tournament, Extraordinary Tournament, and others adopted a points-based system to ensure that everyone could face each other. The Masters Tournament and Extraordinary Tournament were best-of-three matches, while the Four Heavenly Kings Tournament and the final championship match were best-of-five matches.
Therefore, they need 6 summoned beasts to participate in the competition during this period, one as the main force and the other 5 as support.
The Master Tournament and the Extraordinary Tournament use a round-based format, with one animal at a time entering the arena and battling three times. The first animal to achieve two wins wins.
Of course, if the winning side doesn't want their battle pet to work so hard, they can choose to change their pet for the match.
The Four Heavenly Kings and the Championship both feature six animals competing together until one side's animals are all defeated. The six-animal format allows for more diverse combat strategies and makes the competition more exciting to watch.
This places higher demands on the summoner's command and tactical abilities.
The battle pet competition is essentially a grand event in this world; it's no exaggeration to say it's a sport in which everyone participates. Of course, some people are in charge of the competition, and some are in charge of cheering.
Anyone who believes their summoned beast has the potential to fight will participate; the preliminary rounds for the first dozen or so editions saw hundreds of millions of participants.
Of course, different countries registered in their own countries. Miler's country was called Canghai Kingdom.
他们国家一般就有一到两千万人左右报名海选，到青铜杯就只剩下200万人了、白银赛要淘汰至50万人、白金10万、铂金2000人、钻石每个国家10人
Following the Diamond Tournament, not only did the competition format change, but the skill levels also shifted. These 10 teams will now lead their respective nations in a nation-based battle pet competition.
Furthermore, there are 168 countries in their world, and not every country is qualified to participate in the national competition.
They will randomly select one of the 10 representatives from these 168 countries to represent them on an unnamed island in a chaotic life-or-death battle. Only the 50 countries that survive to the end will qualify for the final four rounds of the national team competition.
Master, extraordinary, king, champion!
Finally, one champion, four "Kings of the Hill," and the top 30 will be determined.
Most importantly, although this competition is organized by country, it is still a competition based on individual results, and the final rankings will be determined by the scores of the participants and their respective countries.
Why did they set up such a complicated competition format, with both individual and national competitions? This competition isn't for fun or to increase connections and friendship between countries.
The real reason is that no one gets up early without a reason; all these pet competitions organized by so many countries are ultimately about resource allocation.
