Chapter 488: Chapter 300: Even Yu Bao Isn’t as Much of a Dog as You

CLICK!

Wu Bao struck a pose, flashing a V-sign with its middle leg. Wearing the same style of sunglasses as Yu Bao, it took a photo with a scantily clad young lady. Although Wu Bao was a gentlemanly insect, the young lady was indeed scantily clad.

"Thank you, God Wu Bao! Mwah!"

"Wuu~"

Wu Bao contentedly waved its middle leg, bidding the young lady farewell.

Then it turned its head, and even more people surged forward.

"Wu Bao! Me next!"

"Wu Bao! I’m your biggest fan, Wu Bao!"

"Wu Bao, fly free! Mama will always—"

"Why is it you again! Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!"

Su Zhi, its Beast Tamer, couldn’t even squeeze through the crowd. He could only stand on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, wearing a look of utter amazement.

He later asked a random passerby and found out that Wu Bao was a huge celebrity at the Fengyun Arena... or rather, a huge celebrity insect.

During the recent Huai City Masters Tournament, Wu Bao’s appearance had electrified the entire arena:

This extremely unique Pet Beast had competed without a Beast Tamer, winning every match with a crushing advantage. It was safe to say the entertainment value and showmanship were off the charts.

That was right around the time when changes in the Sparrow Gate’s main arena were affecting the Fengyun Arena in Huai City. The tournament organizers had boldly launched a series of commercialization initiatives, and Wu Bao was naturally one of the key focuses of their promotion.

The organizers not only arranged an exclusive interview for Wu Bao but even launched a line of merchandise, including but not limited to postcards, limited-edition figurines, and stationery.

To say nothing of the thousands of exclusive postcards sold, each bearing Wu Bao’s footprint!

Not only that, but some Beast Taming high schools that partnered with the Fengyun Arena also released a line of Wu Bao-themed stationery, such as loose-leaf binders, gel pens, and scantron pencils. Many students eagerly snapped them up, starting a small Wu Bao craze.

Thanks to Wu Bao’s participation, the Masters Tournament’s revenue directly or indirectly increased by nearly fifty percent, and it continues to generate income to this day!

It was hailed as one of the most successful commercialization attempts by any Fengyun Arena in the past three years!

Wu Bao also earned a small sum by signing a contract with the tournament organizers, though it wasn’t much.

After all, the Fengyun Arena was a niche interest in Huai City with a relatively small overall audience. Wu Bao’s exploits were only famous within the arena’s community and never made it to the mainstream media, which was why Su Zhi was only just now finding out about it.

Nevertheless, the model itself received the approval of the Sparrow Gate’s main headquarters and was promoted throughout its network. Today, it has become quite established.

The butterfly effect triggered by Wu Bao competing alone had a far greater impact than anything that happened within the small city of Huai.

"Woof-whine!" Hearing the passerby’s description, Yu Bao pouted, a little sour.

’Damn it.’

’He was showing off so much while I wasn’t looking!’

’Is *that* what you’re focused on...?’ Su Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Watching Wu Bao being showered with attention at the center of the crowd, he felt a surge of emotion.

He had indeed mentioned once that Wu Bao could go to the Fengyun Arena to get some experience, but he’d been busy with the selection tournament and hadn’t paid attention afterward.

He never expected Wu Bao to actually go compete on its own—and even make a real name for itself.

’My Pet Beasts, each one more outrageous than the last.’

"So, you’re Su Zhi, Wu Bao’s Beast Tamer? A pleasure to meet you."

Just as Su Zhi was feeling a sense of pride, a rather magnetic male voice called out from nearby.

Su Zhi turned toward the voice and saw a man in a sharp suit walking toward him, a polite smile on his face.

"Huh? God Su is here too!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd turned in unison to look at Su Zhi.

"I just heard! God Su is Wu Bao’s Beast Tamer!"

"Waaah! It’s the dream crossover!"

"God Su! I’m your fan, God Su! Can I have your autograph?"

"Or I’ll take Wu Bao’s autograph!"

The frenzied crowd left Su Zhi at a loss for a moment. If not for the fact that a Beast Tamer’s physique was far superior to an ordinary person’s, he felt he would have been squashed flat...

In the end, the security guards with the man in the suit had to orderly disperse the crowd, finally allowing Su Zhi and the Envoy’s Pet to escape.

"Thanks..." Su Zhi was covered in sweat, his heart still pounding.

’Is this the Power of fans? It’s so damn scary. Not even a Five-star Exotic Beast is this terrifying...’

"Don’t mention it."

The man handed Su Zhi a business card. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wu Huiping, a spokesperson for the Fengyun Company. I’m responsible for managing matters related to the Fengyun Arena under our company’s banner."

"Oh, hello, a pleasure." Su Zhi hurriedly took the business card.

Cao Mingyu had mentioned this company to him before; its reputation was considerable.

It was not only the organizing company behind the Fengyun Arena but also the largest private enterprise in the Beast Taming-related industry. It even had a long-term partnership with the Common Defense Alliance.

Fengyun Company’s business operations were extensive, excelling in everything from Beast Taming-related equipment and resources to film and television, games and animation, and even creative cultural products.

And this spokesperson before him, to put it bluntly, was an agent of the Fengyun Company.

Wu Huiping smiled politely and presented a contract. "Wu Bao previously signed a commercial cooperation agreement with our company. Considering this was the first time our company had signed a contract with a Pet Beast, after we learned of Wu Bao’s specific situation, we decided that once Wu Bao was bonded, the contract must be reconfirmed by its Beast Tamer, so as to fully respect the Beast Tamer’s wishes."

"How very thoughtful of you," Su Zhi said, raising an eyebrow. He took the contract and glanced at Wu Bao.

"Wuu..." Wu Bao looked guilty, nervously tapping its front legs together.

After all, it had indeed signed the contract without Su Zhi’s knowledge. At the time, it had been caught up in the thrill of victory and hadn’t thought much of it, but looking back now, it seemed rather inappropriate...
