Rare footage of taming a human who tamed a polluter...

"Is this ranking accurate? Didn't you guys notice? This contestant Ye... she's a D-Rank ability user!"

Ye Jiang slept in late, only to be woken up by a text message.

[Congratulations Ye Jiang! You ranked 10th in the Xingyi Technology Hunting Tournament with a total score of 102,010 points.]

Ye Jiang was in a daze.

Huh?

Chapter 64: Precious scenes of taming humans and Polluted...

Ye Jiang arrived at the bracelet collection point. As soon as she stepped into the area, several pairs of eyes swept over her, their eyes filled with shock, observation, and inquiry. When Ye Jiang looked back, those gazes quickly withdrew.

Here, your bracelet.

The staff member's voice came from behind her, and Ye Jiang looked away, taking her bracelet.

The boy, Dong Zhen, pounced on her like a puppy, waving his arms and legs excitedly. "Sister, you're so amazing! You're in the top ten! You scored 100,000 points in just one day, so easily! Even the number one on the leaderboard can't compare to you!"

The boy's loud voice immediately drew everyone's attention; he knew how to get to the point. He then added fuel to the fire, asking, "Sister, are you planning to win first place today?"

Ye Jiang was completely oblivious to the complex gazes of those around her, nor did she think the boy had said anything wrong. Her partner had simply and accurately recounted what she had done, so she took the boy's question very seriously, considering it with utmost seriousness. First place? Yesterday, her luck had inexplicably improved, easily racking up 100,000 points. If she continued to have the same good luck today, then first place would indeed be hers. There was no way around it; when her luck was on her side, she was incredibly powerful!

Ye Jiang was lost in thought, seemingly oblivious to everyone around her, while the other contestants remained silent.

That's really daring of a thought!

As Ye Jiang and the boy discussed the competition rankings, they walked towards the wilderness area. As soon as they left, the contestants rushed to the staff of Xingyi Technology, bombarding them with questions.

"That contestant surnamed Ye, is her ranking really okay?"

"Did they miscalculate the points for that D-Rank player?"

"Did you add a few extra zeros to that player's score?"

The superhumans questioned this, and it wasn't just these people; the moment today's rankings were released, the reporting hotline of Xingyi Technology was bombarded with calls, all targeting the points and rankings of a certain contestant on today's leaderboard.

In response, the staff member said, "Sorry, we don't handle points, but to the best of my knowledge, that player's points and ranking are correct."

"How could there be no mistakes? She scored 100,000 points in one day! Is that even possible? Even if she concealed her ability level and her actual level is B-Rank, this score is outrageous! Even Xue Ge, who is ranked number one, has never scored that many points in a single day!"

"Brother Xue."

"Brother Xue!"

As if on cue, Xue Ping arrived at the bracelet collection point, where the contestants immediately surrounded him, all speaking up for him. Xue Ping, who ranked first on the leaderboard, was an approachable and kind person. Because he had saved many people during the competition, he had an excellent reputation among the superhumans and was considered a man with virtually no blemishes.

"Brother Xue, the organizers must have made a mistake. That weirdo spent the whole day wandering around the wilderness yesterday, leaving behind a lot of fun. How could he possibly have had time to get 100,000 points! Don't worry, we'll get justice for you!"

"100,000 points! Brother Xue, you probably never even dared to dream of that score, right?"

Xue Ping: "..."

He glanced at the entrance to the wilderness area, only catching a glimpse of a receding figure. Facing the players who were speaking out in his defense, he admitted, "Yeah, I didn't dare think about it."

"That's right!"

"But if it's that contestant Ye," Xue Ping said, "That score should be a piece of cake."

"It's just... huh?"

Xue Ping looked at the other contestants and sighed, "That contestant Ye once saved my life. I'm certain her strength far surpasses mine."

"..."

"..."

ah?

Ye Jiang has figured it out. She can't be too proactive in hunting Polluted. If she's too focused and has too strong a purpose, she'll likely only hunt low-scoring F-Rank Polluted. Conversely, she might get unexpected rewards. So today, she's hunting Polluted in the wild.

At this moment, she and her partner were setting up a hammock in the woods. Her partner did most of the work while she watched from the side, occasionally lending a hand. Once it was set up, she would lie down and enjoy the breeze in the woods, feeling extremely comfortable.

Once Ye Jiang lay down, she didn't want to get up. The young Dong Zhen sat beside her, smiling. With a wave of his hand, flowers bloomed in the forest, and spring unfolded.

A Polluted had entered the woods. The boy glanced at Ye Jiang, who didn't want to get out of the hammock, and said, "Sister, there's Polluted. I'll go deal with it."

Ye Jiang forced open her eyelids and asked him, "Can you handle this?"

The boy's illusion magic was top-notch, but his ability to kill Polluted seemed rather weak, so he even sold boxed lunches for a while.

Dong Zhen stood up, a sharp glint in his eyes for a moment, but his words remained sweet. "If I can't handle it, I'll call my sister for help. My sister can handle anything."

"... oh."

"Then I'll go."

Ye Jiang waved her hand lazily, and finally closed her eyes.

On the other side, Dong Zhen arrived in front of the intruding Polluted. The Polluted was as supple as a snake, coiled around a half-withered tree. Its vertical pupils gleamed with a reptilian darkness and evil. The Polluted's belly was swollen, stretching out an ominous outline, and it wriggled from time to time.

"Cannibalism?" Dong Zhen raised an eyebrow. Polluted kill but rarely eat people. This snake-like Polluted's malice towards humans is beyond imagination.

The Polluted stuck out its long, thin tongue, its eyes fixed on Dong Zhen, as if assessing whether its prey was delicious.

"Hiss--"

The Polluted leaped forward, releasing venom at its prey while simultaneously delivering a vicious lash with its tail.

Snap!

The Polluted's tail lashed out at Polluted prey, and just as it was about to strike again, a hand caught its tail, as if catching a harmless, weak pet snake. That hand gently held its tail.

The Polluted was startled and turned around quickly. It only saw its prey give it a slight smile. The next second, its entire tail was crushed and exploded, and tissue fluid splattered everywhere.

"Oh, it's dirty."

juvenile

Looking down at his clothes, splattered with the gushing tissue fluid, his eyes lit up, and his assessment changed. "So handsome!"

The Polluted was not yet dead, but having lost half its body, it fell to the ground, writhing in agony. The boy didn't even glance at it, but noticed that his hands were covered in tissue fluid. He paused, then used the tissue fluid as ink and his hands as a brush to draw a kitten in the air. As he finished drawing, the kitten looked around, then began licking its paws.

The boy was momentarily dazed.

"It's been so long since I've drawn anything."

It's been about a hundred years.

A hundred years ago, some human group seemed to have given him a title, something like... wait, what was it again?

I forgot.

A century has passed.

He never painted again after that day.

The boy gazed in one direction, his eyes taking in lush greenery.

The boy dragged the half-dead Polluted back to the hammock. The human was asleep in the hammock, her cheek pressed against it, her pale face making her look like she was already dead.

The Polluted suddenly fell from his hand, and the boy opened his mouth. "... Sister."

The human slowly opened his eyes. The boy was stunned for a few seconds, then whispered, "Sister, don't sleep."

Ye Jiang had only dozed off for a short while when her partner woke her up to work killing the Polluted. The Polluted had been dragged back by the boy, and it was only half alive when it arrived. Ye Jiang delivered the final blow to the Polluted without expression. After killing it, she turned around and saw that her partner had dismantled the hammock that had been set up not long ago. She tried to stop her, but the boy said, "We can't do this, sister. We have to go to the next place. We can't sleep here."

Ye Jiang didn't really want to move. She'd only just gotten off the hammock and already missed it, wanting to lie back down. The boy, seeing her true form about to emerge from her body, provoked her. "Sister, don't you want to get first place anymore?"

Ye Jiang remained silent, and the boy continued, "Let's go, sister, let's kill the Polluted and get first place! First place should belong to the amazing you!"

Ye Jiang, her face expressionless, was persuaded and nodded in agreement.

The two resumed their journey.

After walking a short distance, Ye Jiang couldn't help but glance at the energetic young man beside her. He didn't disappoint her, returning her a bright smile and asking, "What's wrong, sister?"

Ye Jiang remained silent, nothing much, but she suddenly realized that the boy had been coaxing her, like he was coaxing a child, even though he called her "sister."

Ye Jiang and Dong Zhen encountered a team of competitors. The team was quite large and seemed to have just fought against the Polluted. They were sitting together, some resting and replenishing their energy, others bandaging their wounds. As soon as Ye Jiang and her partner appeared, the team immediately quieted down. Ye Jiang and the young Dong Zhen did not approach and instead walked around them from a distance.

Ye Jiang didn't bother to investigate the other team's intentions, but the team was very interested in her. Everyone stared at her, practically watching her until she was out of sight.

"That backpack... isn't that the one who made it into the top ten today?" someone in the group whispered. "She looks so small, such a thin little body, yet she managed to rack up 100,000 points in one day. You can't judge a book by its cover..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in the line looked up, revealing a slightly pale face. He said coldly, "Has her score been confirmed to be correct?"

Someone chimed in, "There shouldn't be any mistake. Xingyi Technology's official customer service confirmed there was no error, and I heard Xue Ping personally confirmed that the contestant was exceptionally skilled."

The man snorted coldly.

Sensing the man's displeasure, the person next to him immediately changed his tune, flattering him. "Even so, 100,000 points is still a bit exaggerated. It's mostly luck, otherwise she would have been on the list a few days ago. Rumor has it that she carries the boss's backpack to the arena every day, so she's definitely not trying to hide her strength. It just means she's strong, but not exceptionally so. Luck gave her a push that propelled her into the top ten. You can only believe half of what Xue Ping says; he's always trying to be a good guy and habitually helps people out of difficult situations. Just take his words with a grain of salt. If we're talking about who's truly impressive, it's you, Brother Wu. If you hadn't been injured, you would have been at the top of the list long ago!"
