Chapter 101: Chapter 100: A New Evolution Type
Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing this, Alpha immediately conveyed an emotion of joy, and the large sword in its hand flew out and rotated in the air before quietly floating behind Alpha.
Wow, such maneuvering, full marks for the hints of sword control.
Woof woof?
(Is this still that stinky bone?)
Looking at Alpha in front of him, who was utterly transformed, Beta curiously used his perception skills. He instantly felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him, and Alpha in front of him was replaced by a Crystal Skeleton Dragon.
Howl…
(Finished, I can’t take revenge now…)
Feeling the shivers across his body, Beta suddenly felt that his life was hopeless. After Schuck had scanned Alpha, he silently established a file in his brain.
[Schuck & Beta Strengthening Plan 1.01]:
Beta: Strengthen perception and blast power.
Schuck: Upgrade mechanical system, consider fusion with Thunder Stone.
Of course, Bai Qi didn’t understand what Schuck and Beta were thinking. At this moment, he was completely engrossed in Alpha’s massive transformation, and people outside the secret realm like President Qin also noticed the anomaly in Bai Qi.
Zhuge Chen said, “Has the evolution succeeded? Hurry up and summon him to check!”
Bai Qi nodded and immediately summoned Alpha.
Crrack…
The moment Alpha appeared, the Ice Bone in the training room and the other few evolved beasts involuntarily trembled, instinctively lowering their skulls towards Alpha.
The aura of a dragon, it was not something their subordinates could withstand.
“This feeling, is it dragon might? Has it evolved to Lord Level? And its level is not low either.”
President Qin looked at Alpha for a few moments and quickly determined Alpha’s general situation. Bai Heguang was directly attracted to the withering aura that seemed to exist on Alpha’s body.
The Jiuyou Darkbird, which was originally just stopping in the courtyard, was also attracted by the aura on Alpha’s body. Its body instantly shrank to the size of a sparrow, circled around Alpha for a moment, then landed on Bai Heguang.
“Withering power, didn’t expect to see a super skill in a Lord-level creature. Boy, what kind of evolution material did you give your pet?”
A crisp, feminine voice came from the Jiuyou Darkbird’s mouth, immediately attracting Bai Qi and Zhuge Chen’s attention.
I had already heard that legendary creatures could speak human languages, and could even directly transform into human forms. Now it seems that it’s indeed true.
But, what would the Jiuyou Darkbird look like after transforming?
A bird girl?
Bai Qj paused for a moment and said, “Aside from the Crystal Dragon Bone that Bai Chuanqi just gave me, there are only a few runes.”
Really runes?
President Qin and Zhuge Xu looked at each other. Professor Dong was even more unlike his usually calm self, his face showing a trace of the fanaticism unique to scholars, and he started observing Alpha up close.
“These six runes have perfectly integrated into the energy conversion system, no, they have become another core of energy conversion.”
Professor Dong observed the six runes on Alpha’s spine with a magnifying glass and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the runes should function as a converter, distributing the power of the Crystal Dragon Bone more reasonably and perhaps also increasing the upper limit of tolerance.”
Professor Dong pushed his glasses up and looked at Celestial Brilliance and President Qin, “I suggest to hold a press conference immediately and disclose Bai Qi’s achievements, then promptly set up a special research group to carry out rune evolution experiments on skeletal creatures at various stages.”
“Bai Qi’s performance in the inter-city joint examination will definitely attract interested people’s attention. If others take the lead, we will suffer a big loss.”
Hearing this, President Qin nodded, glanced at Bai Heguang who was still keeping a straight face, and said, “Okay, I will arrange it as soon as I go back. As for the patent office, Heguang, you might have to make the trip first.”
Bai Heguang nodded and said, “Okay.”
Although a universal experiment has not yet been conducted, Alpha’s successful evolution was enough to prove that at least one core patent application could be made.
As for other derivative series, they are not controllable, nor is there a need to control them.
As long as you hold the core patent for rune evolution, others must pay patent fees to Bai Qi for whatever they research unless they can bypass the runes.
As for whether someone would dare to default, would you be sure to do so for a patent applied for with the Titled Legendary?
“Oh right, Bai Qi, this one of yours…”
Bai Qi said, “Wilting Dragon Lord, his new race name.”
President Qin nodded and said, “I need to include your Wilting Dragon Lord in the Federation Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook. Come to the association sometime, and I’ll have someone carry out a simple test.”
“Don’t worry, only the basic information. No skill data or evolution material will be made public.”
The Lord-level is a dividing line in the beast’s race value. Below the Lord-level, race data and everything could be disregarded, but everything above Lord-level belonged to the Federation’s strategic resources, and would absolutely not be made public at will.
The reason for the rush to add it to the guidebook, aside from gaining the upper hand, was also considered a preheat before the public disclosure of rune evolution.
“In that case, update Beta’s evolution type at the same time.”
Upon hearing President Qin’s words, Bai Qi immediately called out Husky and asked, “Oh right, President, is there a reward for discovering a new evolutionary type?”
President Qin:”…”
Zhuge Chen:”…”
Zhuge Xu:”…”
Even the well-experienced President Qin was taken aback at the sight of the two pets before him, both of which looked completely different from their peers.
He knew that Husky had merged with a Blast Stone, and he thought the double-headed wolf model was just Bai Qi’s peculiar taste. Now you’re telling him that this is another new evolutionary type?
“Are you sure your talent is Breaking the Void and not evolutionary acceleration?”
Bai Qi shrugged innocently. He never said his talent had nothing to do with evolution. These Breaking the Void talents were forcefully associated with him in the first place.
“Never mind. Bring it along for updating tomorrow.”
President Qin didn’t know what to say about Bai Qi anymore, he continued, “And these days, prepare well, Luo Xiang should be coming to take you to the headquarters for training.”
He had to go to training now? He didn’t even have time to manage his secret grounds.
At least give him some breathing space. Not even mules were treated like this.
Bai Qi looked disappointed. Once you got involved in an organization, you lose all your freedom.
“You don’t have to worry, even if Luo Xiang comes, he has to wait until after the conference ends. You can rest well these few days.”
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, looked at Professor Dong, and said, “We’ve been here long enough, we’ll head back now. Remember to come to the association early tomorrow. I’ll have Lao Mo help test your two beasts.”
Bai Qi nodded, seeing the two off through the gate. As soon as he turned around, he noticed Celestial Brilliance mounting on the Jiuyou Darkbird and disappearing into the horizon.
Having a flying pet beast sure is convenient. They come and go as they please.
Speaking of which, he still had a promise of a pet beast from the special training. He wondered if he could pick a flying system beast master.
“Ahem, ahem…”
Noticing that Bai Qi seemed lost in thought again, Zhuge Xu cleared his throat, “Bai Qi, let’s discuss that contract now.”
Bai Qi suddenly remembered. He had been preoccupied with the Rune Evolution and had almost forgotten about the most important thing.
Without money, how could he afford to keep the high-maintenance Evolution Egg?
Bai Qi led them to the living room, where Zhuge Xu got straight to the point without any unnecessary chatter.
“Our two families have known each other for a long time, and Uncle Zhuge won’t play any tricks on you. As per the previously agreed endorsement fee, I’ll give you an extra ten percent. You won’t need to deliberately promote anything. Do what you need to do with peace of mind, and feel free to take the money.”
Getting paid without having to work didn’t feel right. Maybe they should add something else to the equation?
Before Bai Qi could recover from Zhuge Xu’s generosity, Zhuge Xu continued, “However, I want to make an agreement with you. If you come up with something new in the future, please consider working with Elf House first. We will share the profits equally!”
At this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but smile wryly, “Uncle Zhuge, aren’t you overestimating me? I’m just a student.”
No sooner had he spoken than there was a strange look on the faces of both Zhuge Xu and Zhuge Chen.
Do you still remember that you are just a student? What you are doing now is hardly student-like, is it?
“Don’t worry, Uncle Zhuge is not trying to pressurize you, just think of it as an early investment.”
Sayin this, Zhuge Xu took out a brilliant golden Federation Card and pushed it in front of Bai Qi. “You’ve bagged the top spot in the dual city exams this time, and your Uncle Zhuge doesn’t have much to offer you. There’s a small sum saved in this card, not much, just 10 million Federal Coins, think of it as your pocket money.”
Just 10 million? As pocket money?
Well, I suppose I don’t quite understand the world of the rich.
Bai Qi was startled. He was wondering whether he should accept it or not, when Zhuge Chen spoke from the side, “My dad loves to toss money around. If you don’t want it, he’ll just give it to someone else. You shouldn’t be polite.” “Stinky boy, what do you mean by ‘tossing money around’? Is that how you talk about your own father?”
Zhuge Xu gave Zhuge Chen a firm knock on the head, then instantly switched back to friendly uncle mode, “But Chen is right. If you don’t accept this, who knows where I might end up squandering it. Just think of it as your first share of dividends.”
“Then I’ll thank Uncle Zhuge.”
Not being modest anymore, Bai Qi picked up the golden card in front of him. Zhuge Xu nodded in satisfaction, “Bai Qi, your pet has just broken through, and you should have a lot of things to handle. We won’t take up any more of your time. Remember to visit Elf House more often if you have time.”
“I will.”
Bai Qi nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries with Zhuge Xu and his son, and then saw them off.
“Phew- Finally, I can thoroughly study Alpha’s new abilities.”
Watching Alpha within the yard manipulating the giant sword into various complex moves, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.
They say pets reflect their beast masters. That seems reasonable.
“Alpha, Schuck, Beta, return to the secret realm first. I want to see what these super abilities that only Lord-level creatures can master actually look like..”
