"I've been watching you the whole time. I've seen every little move you've made." Gao Peng's emotionless voice came from the speaker next to the camera.
This time, Da Zi finally heard where the voice came from. His brain spasmed, and he almost fainted.
"Gao Peng, let me explain-" Da Zi said in a panic.
"How do you want to explain?" Gao Peng chuckled coldly.
"I, I …" Da Zi racked his brains, his little brain spinning like a little motor.
"I like you the most!" Da Zi said with a silly look on his face.
Gao Peng was speechless.
Would this trick work on me, Gao Peng?
"Don't do it again." Gao Peng said calmly. "Finish the ten thousand things you need to do today. Go, I'll keep an eye on you. Don't even think about slacking off."
Is Gao Peng going to keep an eye on me the whole day? Da Zi frowned. He realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Gao Peng ignored this fat centipede that had gone into acting mode. With a snap, he closed the app and put away his phone.
He looked at the live broadcast in the room. The lot-drawing for the second round of the competition was taking place.
Although the elimination of Huaxia's number one Yu Ge was an upset, the overall performance of the Huaxia team was still pretty good.
Out of the twelve contestants, eight had advanced to the second round.
Gao Peng sighed. Three of them had lost in the matches that he had refereed.
Aside from Yu Ge and Han Lei, another contestant had also lost in a match that Gao Peng had refereed.
Gao Peng suddenly had a bad feeling. Is it because I'm too good that I'm giving them too much pressure?
Gao Peng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. These kids need to be more resilient.
There were thirty-two contestants in the second round. A quarter of them were from the Huaxia team. The bright red color was particularly eye-catching on the stage.
Some of the contestants from the other regions began to take note of this mysterious power from the East.
The second round of the competition also had a protection mechanism for the contestants in the same division, so contestants in the same division would not be drawn as opponents.
After drawing lots, all the contestants silently returned to their positions.
There was no such thing as a good draw or a bad draw in this competition. In the first round of the competition, many players who were favored at the beginning were defeated, while many players who were not favored at the beginning were defeated.
This was especially true for the contestants from Southeast Asia and Africa. Even though they knew that familiars had little to do with their development, they still held a contemptuous attitude towards familiars from the very beginning.
After that, the contestants from Southeast Asia and Africa gave them a tight slap in the face. After the Cataclysm, the whole world was on the same starting line.
The familiars from these two regions were especially ferocious.
Due to the culture, the familiars from these regions were also trained to be particularly fierce, violent, greedy, and aggressive. It was as if they had seen the greedy hyenas of the grasslands and the ferocious scorpions of the rainforest.
There were a total of 13 qualifiers from these two regions. Moreover, the number of qualifiers they received was not many to begin with, and almost all of them had qualified.
"The contestants from Southeast Asia are very fierce," Li Yu said solemnly. "Their familiars are also very ferocious."
"I've heard of this before. I'm from Kun Zhou, which borders Southeast Asia. The way they train their familiars is similar to the way they raise venomous insects," Guo Qingshan, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, suddenly said.
"Raise venomous insects?"
"Yes. The major countries in Southeast Asia were unified into Southeast Asia after the World Allied Government was established. In the early days of the Cataclysm, many orphans were born because of the countless casualties. Then, the Southeast Asian government took in these orphans and organized them into training camps. At the same time, according to the cruel military management, the local government would distribute familiars after they turned 18, and then they would undergo the cruelest method of raising venomous insects …" Guo Qingshan said slowly.
"Won't this be criticized by the humanitarian organizations?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
"No." Guo Qingshan glanced at Li Yu. "Many of the orphans signed up voluntarily."
"Because the elites who stand out from this cruel method will become the upper class of Southeast Asia. The local families, corporations, and the government will fight for them. Women, money, as long as they can endure it, these things will be at their fingertips. If they don't participate, with their status as orphans, these things will be on two parallel lines to them. " Guo Qingshan sighed. "There are pros and cons. It looks glorious, but it is built on the bones of countless losers."
After a pause, Guo Qingshan said, "Also, I heard that many people in the Huaxia region secretly cross the region to participate in this kind of training camp in Southeast Asia."
Gao Peng was deep in thought. He began to wonder if he could set up such a training camp at home. Some of the details could be changed. He could directly increase the grade of his familiars, so some of the links could be changed.
But these things would have to be discussed with his grandfather when he went back.
.....
The difference between the second round of the competition and the first round was that the second round of the competition was no longer one-on-one. Instead, all the familiars that had signed a Blood Contract with one could be sent into the ring.
Moreover, there was no limit. You could send as many familiars as you had signed a Blood Contract with.
Being able to sign 10,000 familiars was also your ability. This also required an extremely terrifying soul strength.
If you didn't have the ability to sign so many familiars, you could only blame yourself for being trash.
Although these words weren't directly said, the organizers of the competition probably meant it this way.
At noon, there was a half hour for the contestants and the audience to eat and rest.
Gao Peng and Li Yu had internal meals provided by the Monster Trainer League. They were all high-quality monster meat and rare fruits. Gao Peng sat on a chair with a small folding stool next to him. Next to him was a phone stand with a live recording of the manor's cameras.
As he ate, he watched Da Zi train. Gao Peng put a piece of meat into his mouth. Mmm, it was delicious.
After lunch, Gao Peng looked at the time. Li Yu was the referee for the first match in the afternoon, Guo Qingshan was the referee for the second match, and Gao Peng was the referee for the third match, so Gao Peng could still sleep for a while.
"The third match of the second round is about to begin. This match is between Gang Mu from the African region and Kim Moo-kun from the Korean region."
Gao Peng remembered that he was the referee for the first match between Kim Moo-kun and Han Lei. He was also the referee for the first match of the second round. It could be said that he and this Korean guy were destined to meet.
The iron gate slowly rose. Kim Moo-kun walked out from the edge of the arena, followed by two familiars. On the left was a four-foot-tall gorilla with silver hair on the back of its hands and back. On the right was a squirming Swamp Monster.
On the other side, the iron gate rose, and a strange giant creature lay on the ground. It was about the size of a car, and its body was covered with short yellow hair. Its eyes were big and round, and its watery eyes had a hint of shyness. Its head took up almost one-third of its body.
