The next second, an energy barrier suddenly opened up from another direction on the screen, enveloping the entire battlefield.
Judging from the strength of the energy barrier, it can be roughly inferred that another immortal-level pet beast has made its move.
This barely stabilized the crumbling protection system.
All signs are confirming one fact.
Lan Yi Guangyu held almost no mercy.
This Water Abyss Light was a truly serious and devastating strike.
The air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.
The venue, which had a capacity of over two thousand people, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
As the water and smoke dissipated, the camera refocused on the center of the battlefield.
Everyone was stunned.
The rolling worm curled up in place, its body covered with marks left by the energy impact.
But it didn't fall!
The entire venue fell silent for a second.
Immediately, a commotion arose.
"impossible!"
Zhou Wenda jumped up from his chair.
Fortunately, the person next to him reacted quickly enough and pulled him out of the way.
Otherwise, the boss of Tianyan Group would have made a fool of himself in front of more than 2,000 people at the scene and more than 10 million viewers in the live broadcast room.
He slumped back into his chair.
But the expression on his face was still one of disbelief.
The comments section went completely wild.
Holy crap!!!
What does it mean that the Rolling Insect withstood a full-force attack from an Immortal-level pet?
Did this video forget to label the risks associated with AI generation?
[Rolling Insect: Family, I think I looked too cute just now...]
【Wait, does the "no harm from smoke" principle even apply? Is that even reasonable?!】
[Rolling Insect: I don't know what happened, but that big blue fish got me all wet, and it's really uncomfortable...]
[Is this video fake? How is that possible! How could a mid-tier pet survive a full-force attack from an Immortal-tier beast?]
Could the rolling worm have been switched out midway?
[ntm, braving the shimmering light of the Rippling Water Abyss, rushes in and swaps in a rolling worm for me?]
[Hahaha, this has to be a Super Saiyan!]
"Then the only solution is to splice the videos together. I don't believe that result."
[Let me put it simply: does Xia Yu really need to tarnish his reputation by fabricating evidence? Imagine the incredible power of a weakness insurance policy, think about the aptitude cube and the rain-making technique!]
【...】
The debate in the live chat did not affect the continuation of the press conference.
On the giant screen, the image froze on the incredulous expression on Lan Yi Guangyu's face before slowly fading out.
Instead, there was a close-up of the prop magnified several times.
The blue ribbon that had just appeared on the rolling worm hovered in the center of the screen.
The spotlight fell on Xia Yu again.
He stood in the center of the stage, waiting for the commotion below to subside naturally.
This process took almost half a minute.
For a press conference, a half-minute pause is considered a minor stage mishap.
But Xia Yu was not in a hurry.
After the last whispers of discussion subsided, Xia Yu picked up the microphone again.
"It seems that everyone is more interested in this little ribbon than I expected."
A burst of loose laughter rang out from the audience.
"Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer."
Xia Yu raised his hand and pointed to the blue ribbon floating and rotating on the screen behind him.
"This beast-taming item is called the Aura Sash. Its effect is simple: when the beast carrying it suffers a fatal injury, it can retain its last bit of life force and avoid fainting."
He paused slightly, waiting for the audience to process the information in his words, before delivering the most crucial blow.
"Even like in the video just now, a mid-level pet beast facing a full-force attack from an immortal-level pet beast."
The room fell silent again.
Unlike before, the silence now is a process of processing information.
What does it mean that everyone is experiencing this effect?
It gives you an extra chance to make a move on the battlefield and an extra chance to escape while exploring secret realms.
This is not a beast-taming tool at all.
This is practically a second life!
"Of course, there are limits to the imposing aura."
Xia Yu certainly wouldn't wait until the audience discovered his flaws before he suffered the backlash.
Rather than disappointing the market, it's better to be proactive and honest.
"The mass-produced version of the Aura Belt that everyone can buy on the market in the future will have a trigger probability of about 70%."
"In other words, when you suffer a fatal injury, there is about a 70% chance that it will work and leave you with some health, and there is a 30% chance... that your pet will still die."
A chorus of "oh"s rose from the audience, carrying a hint of relief.
A 70% probability is naturally not as reliable as a 100% probability.
However, compared to the illogical existence of "absolute invincibility," an effect with boundaries is more acceptable.
Xia Yu continued, "So, for those Beastmasters who bought the Aura Sash, if you ever trigger the 30% chance of not triggering it in the battlefield, please don't post videos on Pixiv to scold us. Of course, we will also clearly state on the packaging that this product is not responsible for issues related to character."
The barrage of comments immediately became a sea of joy.
[RNM refunds money!!! I've already thought of a video title in advance lol]
[Manager Xia's disclaimer is so meticulous, hahaha!]
[Xia Yu: You used to call me Manager Xia, and I didn't mind. But now that we've left this room, what do you think you should call me?]
【Boss Xia!】
[Hilarious! A 30% chance of it not triggering? This is practically a humiliating item tailor-made for us unlucky players!]
[Non-lucky Beastmaster: I've never triggered the Aura Sash I bought!]
[Lucky Beastmaster: What? Isn't this supposed to trigger 100% of the time?]
To be fair, a 70% trigger rate is already quite high; it's better than simply dying.
【...】
Before the laughter from the audience had subsided, Xia Yu raised his hand and gestured to quiet it down, and the noise in the hall gradually subsided.
He waited until everyone's attention was back on him before continuing to speak.
"Now, the next question is what everyone is most concerned about: the price. Let me give you a standard for judgment first."
The large screen behind Xia Yu switched to display a talisman-shaped beast-taming item.
"The item on the market that is closest to the Aura Sash is the 'Steadfast Amulet' produced by Tianyan Group. Its effect is that when a pet's health is below 30%, there is a 50% chance that it will take 50% less damage when attacked. Its price is 2.88 million Alliance Coins."
As soon as this comparison was made, many people's expressions changed.
Especially Zhou Wenda.
Isn't this our flagship product?
What does it mean to pull it out?
The classic "What are our competitors?" segment?
To be fair, the [Shield Amulet] isn't that bad.
If a pet has a lot of health and good luck, this thing might actually be able to block a fatal attack.
But the probability is too low.
More importantly, the 30% trigger threshold is really awkward.
If the opponent's attack is strong, they might be instantly killed before this effect is triggered.
And what about the "imposing aura"?
Let's not even talk about the 100% trigger rate of the full version.
Even in the mass-produced version, the probability of triggering is as high as 70%.
There's no need to worry about the risk of your pet dying suddenly.
It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.
Xia Yu, observing the reactions of the audience, knew that the groundwork had been laid and it was time to reveal the answer.
"Made by Miaomiao Beast Taming Technology, the classic style of the aura cape, which is the mass-produced version that everyone will be able to buy in the future, priced at 1.28 million."
