Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Number 088 and Number 066

No wonder the exam candidates reacted this way.
Pet beasts with a species level of lower-level commanders or higher usually have very high spiritual wisdom, and they will choose their own masters; it’s not like anyone with money can just buy one and contract them.
Moreover, every higher-level pet beast is treated as a treasure and won’t be easily released.
In Los Angeles, having a pet beast of the low-level commander species level already surpasses over 90% of professional beast tamers.
Let alone two levels higher – the high-level commanders.
Even the examiners were shocked by Henry Stanford.
“High-Level Commander, Flame Dungeon Elf… This must be Henry Stanford from Los Angeles Combat University,” The Male examiner turned and spoke to the female examiner next to him.
The female examiner checked the Flame Dungeon Elf’s information on the computer and nodded.
“Yes, that’s him. He’s one of the top contenders for the championship this time.”
“It’s incredible. I heard that the vice president of Los Angeles Combat University personally recruited him. I’m envious; I barely got into university back in my day.”
“It’s because his talent in beast-controlling is outstanding, and the pet beast he’s contracted, the Flame Dungeon Elf, is a top-tier High-Level Commander. Of course, he can’t be compared to you. At this rate, he’ll be able to get a
Master-level Beast Master Certificate before he graduates.”
These examiners are also just professional beast tamers. A Master-level Beast Master in Los Angeles would already be considered a prominent figure and wouldn’t work as an examiner.
They would also be envious when they saw promising young people coming up.
Standing on the testing stage, Henry Stanford was stared at by the astonished eyes of everyone. His heart, which should have been elated, couldn’t feel happy no matter what.
Henry put away the Flame Dungeon Elf with a blank expression and walked off the stage.
“What composure!”
“This is the quality that a college student should have!”
“Unpretentious and calm, respectful in silence and kind in humility. No wonder he can contract a pet beast of the Flame Dungeon Elf’s level; he’s really extraordinary.”
The crowd of contestants gave Henry Stanford a thumbs-up one after another, which made him even more depressed.
Is this composure?
Is this unpretentious?
If Vincent Wolf wasn’t here, he would have been basking in everyone’s praise and looking down on everyone.
But Vincent Wolf was about to go on stage. If he started to be happy at this moment, he would definitely experience what it was like to fall harder the higher he’d flown later.
Seeing Henry Stanford glare at him, Vincent Wolf felt a bit baffled.
Could it be that Henry Stanford was dissatisfied with his own results?
Vincent Wolf walked over and patted his shoulder.
“Henry, don’t be discouraged by your poor results. Over 2,000 is actually quite good. It’s a pity that you promoted the Flame Dungeon Elf to Transcendent Level earlier, or else he would definitely rank higher this time.”
Upon hearing this, Henry Stanford wilted.
Dammit!
If he hadn’t done that earlier and let the Flame Dungeon Elf be fully prepared for the promotion instead, the improvement would have been even more significant.
Now, the energy value of the Flame Dungeon Elf must be able to reach 2,200 to 2,300.
But he couldn’t blame Vincent Wolf for this. It was his own doing, because he couldn’t resist temptation. He could only say that he had lost the gamble.
“Enough, stop it. Hurry up and get on the stage for the test. After this player finishes testing, it’s your turn. Remember to give me a swift response and don’t dilly-dally like before.”
After that, Henry Stanford stood aside and just watched Vincent Wolf.
“Next, exam number 0787, Vincent Wolf.”
The previous candidate only had an energy value of 290. After recalling his pet beast, he walked down the stage dejectedly, crossing paths with Vincent Wolf.
“Vincent Wolf? Why does this name sound familiar?” The male examiner looked at Vincent Wolf and whispered.
“I also feel it’s familiar…” The female examiner was also deep in thought.
Of course, Vincent Wolf didn’t hear what the examiners were saying. At this moment, he had just stepped onto the test stage.
Just after he steadied himself and was about to release Barry, he saw the mechanical skull on the test stage swiftly scan Vincent’s waist area, and then a voice sounded from the test stage. “Species Name: Intelligent Al.” “Species Level: Low-Level Transcendent.” “Growth Level: Awakening Period.” “Energy Value: 250 points.”
Vincent Wolf:
Not only was Vincent Wolf dumbfounded, but the candidates below the stage were also stunned.
A moment later, laughter erupted from the crowd.
“Hahaha, why did someone in the Awakening period come to participate in the preliminary selection for the professional examination?” “Energy value of 250… Sorry, I can’t help but laugh!”
“This is the lowest energy value among the candidates so far!”
“Kid, let’s go back and study hard. The exam can wait for a few more years.”
“Seriously, why are people under the professional beast tamer level allowed to sign up? Just to waste time? I handle billions of transactions every minute, is my time here being wasted?”
The examiners frowned as well.
“This is not right. The information on the candidate’s application states that their pet beast is a Slime. How did it become an intelligent Al? And what kind of pet beast is an intelligent Al anyway?
“Didn’t you see that there’s no summoning array appearing next to him? This means he hasn’t actually summoned his pet beast yet.”
On the stage, Vincent Wolf suddenly realized something and took out a smartphone from his pocket.
Then, a Q-version of a little man appeared on the phone. It was Cacea.
As soon as Cacea appeared, she stared intently at the mechanical skull on the test stage and spoke angrily.
“066! You bastard! Who are you calling 250? I’m clearly 250.5! Don’t think you are great just because you’re at the Commander level. Sooner or later, I will surpass you!”
The mechanical skull blinked twice, and a voice sounded from the test stage. “Oh, look who it is, 088! No wonder you’re so lame. I guess I can’t blame you.”
Cacea became even more angry. She started trash-talking the mechanical skull, and the skull didn’t back down either, responding in kind.
“I think one of your screws has come loose! Hurry up and find someone to tighten it for you!”
“Hmph, I think your wires are short-circuited! Even your logic system is damaged!”
“Damaged my ass! I’m the latest generation of intelligent Al, you old antique!”
“What? Your new, foolish program still needs fixing for some BUGs before running normally!”
‘You!”
“You!”
Both Cacea and the mechanical skull were infuriated, and sparks seemed to fly between them as they glared at each other.
Watching as Vincent’s phone and the test stage began to argue, the examiners, the candidates, and Vincent Wolf on the stage were all dumbstruck.
What was going on?
Can the test continue?
What’s the situation with that phone?! !!
“Vincent Wolf, you…” The male examiner tried to ask Vincent Wolf, but he didn’t know what to say.
Vincent Wolf came to his senses, slapped the phone, and then silenced it again.
After doing all this, Vincent Wolf spoke apologetically to the examiner: “I’m really sorry for causing a delay. Actually, this isn’t my pet beast, just my phone. ”
“Phone…”
The examiner didn’t know what to say.
Was he ignorant?
Are phones this intelligent now?
