The main focus of Muzhou's entertainment industry was the sheep-herding competition. There were not many movie stars and even fewer singers, but the people of Muzhou were rich. Every time a major competition started, they would invite world-renowned stars to sing to liven up the atmosphere and raise the reputation of Muzhou's sheep-herding competition. Stars had fans, and fans would watch the live broadcast for their idols. Naturally, they would also know about this annual event.
Muzhou's regular sheep-herding competition was not broadcasted live in other continents, but the finals were different. Every year, many popular webcast companies would cooperate with Muzhou organizers. The entertainment circles of the various continents would not stop them. This was a win-win situation.
And people watching the live broadcast could also see the images being broadcasted by Muzhou organizers.
The focus was definitely on those who could stir up the emotions of the mainstream audience, such as celebrities, descendants of wealthy families, and so on. After the camera made a full circle, the location of the participating teams' viewing halls was shown. When the introduction came to Dongshan Farm's viewing hall, Silver Wing's internal staff, who were secretly watching the live broadcast, started cursing.
"F * ck! It's that b * tch Zu Wen! "
"That's a good spot. We can see quite a few celebrities, right?"
"Envy them!"
"Envy + 1!"
"I regret not squeezing in when the requirements for the virtual projects department were so low!"
Although it was only two seconds of footage, they still saw Zu Wen standing in the stands, posing and showing off. Besides Zu Wen, there were other members of the virtual projects department. It was just that they were not as conspicuous as Zu Wen, and some of them could not be seen in full. But Silver Wing's people knew, especially those in the tech nerd group, that the entire virtual projects department was probably inside. The best viewing hall, the best seats, and the chance to be broadcast live around the world. And all this was just for their department to take a break. It was simply envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Seeing Zu Wen enjoying himself in Muzhou while they worked overtime every day at the company... Why did so many people want to beat Zu Wen up? This question was not that difficult to understand.
Before Su Hou and the others were done, Su Feng came over with a lot of gifts for Fang Zhao and the others.
The "Four Elephants" brand had made a lot of money in Yanzhou. Although it was a publicity stunt, it was a fact that sales had soared. When he found out that Fang Zhao had brought his department members to watch the competition, Su Feng had specially packed a lot of gift boxes to give as thanks and to further their relationship. They would continue working together in the future.
They could watch the competition for free and receive benefits. Although they didn't care about the money, Zu Wen and the others were still very happy with the treatment.
Su Feng and Fang Zhao discussed Four Elephants' recent advertising and performance in Yanzhou. Not long after, Su Hou and Wu Yi brought the vet team and the shepherd dogs over.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Take a photo with the contestants! "Zu Wen went over and took a few photos and videos. He wanted to send them back to show off.
Curly Hair was also wagging his tail vigorously. He looked very happy, and the other dogs were the same. They didn't seem to have any pre-competition phobia. Instead, it was Su Hou, the instructor, who was under a lot of pressure.
"I heard that many people came to the arena to watch the match today, but they were worried that it would affect your condition, so they didn't come. After the match, you might see a few familiar faces," Su Feng said.
"I know." Su Hou had already been informed of this matter, which was why he was even more nervous. This kind of feeling was similar to the first time he stood on the field, when he was a little nervous, afraid, and self-doubting. Su Hou knew that this was not right, so after chatting with Su Feng for a while, he went into the lounge to "recharge".
Su Hou had already formed a habit. Before the match, he would take out the Eastern Conference finals publicity film and listen to the background music a few times until he was full of fighting spirit again. He was still young, and his mental fortitude still needed to be improved. He couldn't compare to those with rich experience, so at this stage, he could only use this method to adjust his mood.
Wu Yi had seen Su Hou's situation many times, so he didn't ask. Instead, he went over to Fang Zhao and showed Fang Zhao Curly Hair's test report. This was what Fang Zhao had told him long ago. Fang Zhao had already saved the test report for the regular season and the Eastern Conference finals.
Wu Yi didn't think much of it. Curly Hair was Fang Zhao's dog. It was normal for the owner to want to save a copy of the test report.
Fang Zhao saved another copy of today's test report. Like the regular season's test report, apart from a few slightly higher concentrations of heavy metals in Curly Hair's body, there were no other abnormalities. The higher concentrations of heavy metals were also within a reasonable range. Otherwise, Curly Hair wouldn't have passed the pre-competition inspection. Some dogs with wild dog lineages did indeed have such a condition, and it wasn't considered rare.
Very quickly, Wu Yi stopped talking to Fang Zhao. He started to get nervous again. The viewing hall was clearly separated from the outside, but the tension and pressure that was different from the regular season made it hard for Wu Yi, who thought he was experienced, to calm down.
The finals did not only last one day. There would be many competition days, and every competition would be different. The final points would be accumulated to determine the final order, and the team with the highest points would be the overall champion.
Today's first match was actually very similar to the regular season. It was just that there would be more obstacles on the field. The flock of sheep would not stay together after gathering at the start. There was a possibility that they would disperse again after passing through those simulated hills and slopes. The difficulty was much higher than the regular season. And this first match was actually the easiest in the finals. The subsequent matches would get more difficult, and there would be more variables. Thus, every team would want to get a high score today. Only then would they have a guarantee.
Because this was the finals, Muzhou officials wanted to attract an audience from all over the world. Thus, the introductions of the various farms before the match were simplified. After the introductions, it was time for the opening ceremony, which was also the segment that viewers from other continents looked forward to the most.
But Muzhou people were just there to watch the excitement. What they were looking forward to was the next match.
After close to an hour of opening ceremony and warm-up, the order of appearance was decided by drawing lots.
The person in charge of drawing lots was still Su Hou. This time, he was not at the back. Of the eight teams, he was the third to appear.
Because the field was more restricted, the time required would also increase. Those that could enter the finals were all very capable teams. In this unfamiliar field, the shepherd dogs did not make any serious mistakes. As long as the instructor gave the instruction, they would complete it.
The first two teams did not make any serious mistakes, and the small mistakes were quickly corrected. This made Zu Wen and the others nervous. Seeing that the shepherd dogs of the first two teams had performed very well, they had already renewed their original understanding of the intelligence of shepherd dogs. These dogs were much smarter than they had imagined. Because the performances of the first two teams were so good, they were worried about their own people.
The first two teams had used five and a half minutes, five minutes and twenty-nine seconds, and the other five minutes and thirty-three seconds. They were both from the Western region, so these results were not bad.
Next up was Su Hou and the others. Su Hou and the participating shepherd dogs had already arrived and were ready.
"I'm so nervous. I used to have no interest in sheep-herding competitions, but now my heart is racing!" Rodney said.
"Watching the competition from the field and watching the live broadcast are different. Of course, the most important thing is that your dogs are participating, and you guys have placed heavy bets. It's not strange that you are nervous. Everyone feels the same way," Su Feng said.
He had been like this when he was a teenager. At that time, his aunt's dog had participated in the competition, and he had placed all his pocket money on it. Although it had not won in the end, the anticipation and nervousness were still fresh in his memory. And as a Muzhou native, to be able to see the emotions of so many people from other continents stirred up made him feel proud.
Ta — — Ta — — Ta — —
The sound of the timer on the field rang out. With a "bang," the flock of sheep entered the field, and the shepherd dogs entered as well. There were still a few loose sheep on the field. They needed to gather the loose sheep and the flock of sheep that had rushed into the field before moving forward.
"Come on, baby! Pay attention to follow up. Don't run in the wrong position! "
"Very good. Follow the instructions! Curly Hair, good job! My little sweetheart! "
In a moment, all sorts of "baby," "sweetheart," "sweetheart," and other mushy epithets came out. Normally, Zu Wen and the others would never have done this, but now they were going crazy with Wu Yi and the others.
Seeing Fang Zhao still sitting in his chair and staring at the screen as if he was studying an academic problem, Zu Wen shouted, "Hey, Boss, don't be so serious! Get up and cheer for them! "
"The field can't hear you shouting here."
"What's important is the intention. Do you understand? The contestant is Curly Hair, our department's' golden dog. 'If he wins, his value will rise! "Zu Wen stopped looking at Fang Zhao and stared at the dog gathering the flock of sheep on the screen.
"This is the first time I've clearly realized that Curly Hair is really smart," Rodney lamented.
Shepherd dogs were naturally very intelligent. They knew this from watching previous videos and the performances of the previous two teams. However, Curly Hair's performance made them realize that this dog was even smarter than other dogs. Most importantly, he had the aura of a shepherd.
Fang Zhao stared at the screen. All his attention was on the little curly-haired dog.
Smart?
Of course.
And it wasn't just ordinary intelligence. Curly Hair's IQ was becoming more and more unlike that of an ordinary dog.
Fang Zhao had always known that Curly Hair's learning ability was very strong. When he had first picked him up, he had only had the alertness of a stray dog, but he hadn't been too astonishingly smart. Curly Hair probably knew that staying by Fang Zhao's side would be more stable and he wouldn't have to worry about food and water, so he stayed and followed Fang Zhao around every day. Later, after Fang Zhao had brought him to the company, Curly Hair had unknowingly learned a lot. He knew how to properly use his personal urinal, knew how to carry out instructions, and understood more and more things. Although Fang Zhao would also teach him some things, most of them were things he had learned in his daily life. The more he understood, the faster he learned.
Curly Hair had been a complete novice at the start, but he had quickly learned how to use his aura and strategy.
What kind of dog was this?
Had he been like this from the start, or had he only changed later?
If he had such a strong learning ability and attack power from the start, how could he have ended up in such a miserable state in the black streets and almost starved to death? Yue Qing and Ai Wan, who had lived in the black streets for decades, had said that this stray dog had lived in the black streets for a few years.
If he had only changed later, then when did he start to change?
Fang Zhao carefully recalled the time all the way back to when he had just been reborn. He had woken up in this body, and this dog, had something else awakened in its body?
Without a doubt, this was indeed a dog, but what else was hidden in this dog's body?
From an extremely ordinary stray dog in the black streets to a "dangerous object" that could be discovered by police dogs even through a car, it was still changing. Its learning ability was still increasing, and it had even... begun to learn to hide its strength!
What would it become in the future?
