Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 834 - 360: Su Ping: I Don’t Mean to Target Anyone...
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
"We're delivering a live broadcast from Jianghai TV Station. The initial beam of dawn sunlight at seven a.m. descended as we raced to Lin Zhao Road, site of the Jianghai Beastmaster Association,
hosting the opening round of the provincial test. I'm Yang Zhuqing, your station's reporter..."
A pleasant voice paired with an attractive silhouette emerged on screens across Jianghai Province's TV broadcast,
while numerous residents of Jianghai Province, enjoying their free Saturday, fixed their gazes on the display, watching this lovely anchor,
and anticipating the provincial test set to commence and span three full days!
As the top anchor for Jianghai Province TV Station, Yang Zhuqing seldom handles field reports, but she kept her radiant smile intact.
For an event drawing eyes from the entire province and beyond nationally, no level of spotlight proves excessive.
Standing before the Jianghai TV Station camera positioned at the Beastmaster Association's gateway, facing away from the thronging masses, the stunning host offered a gentle smile and remarked:
"Evidently, despite the scorching heat, the fiery enthusiasm of Jianghai's youthful Beast Tamers, burning to vie and dominate, remains undeterred,
I'm certain that everyone present here embodies the true prodigies of our era!"
"With formal entry still nearly thirty minutes away, let's seize this moment to chat with a few aspiring young Beast Tamers!"
Following some light introductory remarks, Yang Zhuqing pivoted, eyeing the multitude now clogging the Beastmaster Association's entrance.
Upon Yang Zhuqing's arrival, plenty had already spotted this well-known glamorous host in Jianghai.
Once she directed a few lines toward the lens, various folks started gazing expectantly at Yang Zhuqing, boldly holding eye contact.
Everyone recognized it was live airtime—the golden chance to shine before the whole province wasn't something to pass up.
Though reporters from Jianghai TV Station and other outlets swarmed the area, at that instant, none rivaled the star power and draw of this premier talent from Jianghai Province TV Station.
True enough. Yang Zhuqing swiftly chatted with several qualified young Beast Tamers, all brimming with confidence, none displaying timidity.
Yet, the exchanges lacked any real spark.
"Okay, thanks for your time, and best wishes for stellar performance in the provincial test."
Delivering her standard wrap-up once more, bidding farewell to the somewhat eager interviewee, Yang Zhuqing retained her cheerful expression outwardly while sensing inner frustration.
As noted earlier, only top-tier young Beast Tamers qualify for this spot; they possess talent, smarts, and social savvy in abundance.
Hence, interviewees handled themselves flawlessly, yet offered zero standout moments.
They'd state their name, voice their outlook on the exam, predict their placement,
prompting the host to offer praise or nudge for more details.
The flow stayed smooth and cordial, perfect for routine coverage.
But on this occasion, Yang Zhuqing carried a special directive.
With inter-provincial exam broadcasts, provincial ratings in play during Dragon Nation's nationwide professional tests, a subtle rivalry simmered beneath.
Otherwise, they wouldn't dispatch her for this on-site live segment.
Elevating replay views and pulling viewers from rival provinces demands more than hype—it requires viral highlights!
Prospects eyeing national finals berths are the true magnets for eyes and buzz!
Regrettably, despite probing several bold-seeming candidates, not one boasted top-ten potential; all practiced utmost humility.
In today's spotlight-craving world, humility falls flat!
Bound by her role at the provincial station, Yang Zhuqing refrained from probing controversies, like the hot topic buzzing in Jianghai's exam scene lately.
Though leadership's position stayed vague, she understood their outlet—as official provincial voice—must avoid rashly broaching it.
Scanning the scene in mild despair, Yang Zhuqing observed fellow journalists mirroring her efforts at the Beastmaster Association entrance, confirming its prime status.
She pressed on, sweeping her view over the masses—mere minutes remained until the seven-thirty entry mark set by the Beastmaster Association,
Post-admission, chats would shift to officials and analysts, slashing odds for buzzworthy scoops.
Moments later, Yang Zhuqing zeroed in on her prime next subject...
Perched atop Dong Muyun’s ‘Red King’, Su Ping gazed at the packed throng beyond the vehicle window and drew a deep breath involuntarily:
