Bai Qi stowed away his certificate and asked, “Getting a core patent usually involves a lot of reviews, how did it get approved so quickly?”
President Qin replied, “Do you think the title of Legendary Celestial Brilliance is just for show? With his guarantee, all processes passed through in one go. It would be even quicker if not for the long journey.”
So that’s how it was, reputation really did matter everywhere.
“Although the patent application was quick, a fair amount of people in the Capital have noticed you, so you might be busy from here on out.”
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder in a supposedly comforting gesture, “But don’t worry, it will just be some challenges at most. It’s nothing serious.”
Bai Qi cast a disdainful look at the gloating President Qin, “Mr. President, is it right for you to abandon me like this after using me to cross the river?”
President Qin burst into laughter, saying, “I’m just giving you a heads up. The training camp you’re about to join is filled with elites from every region. If you don’t have enough highlights, just having the Breaking the Void talent won’t help you secure sufficient resources in the camp.”
“The training camp provides resources?”
Bai Qi’s eyes shone brightly at his words, as if a massive treasure trove was beckoning to him.
“Of course, are we just gathering you all there for fun?”
President Qin glared at Bai Qi irritably, then his face turned serious, “But remember, out of all the trainees, you’re the only Second Stage Beast Master. If you don’t work hard, you might just fade into the crowd.”
Bai Qi nodded and replied, “I got it, don’t worry, Mr. President.”
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze 99%)
[Condition]: Activated
Due to his recent research on Rune Evolution, Bai Qi had collected a large wave of pet beasts along with the emergence of the slime monster, finally raising the progress of the Evolution Egg to 99%.
But Bai Qi felt that his physique and Spirit Power hadn’t reached their upper limit yet, so he wasn’t in a rush to break through.
He would only consider continuing his evolution once the Evolution Egg couldn’t enhance him further.
Most importantly, he currently had no leads on where to find a Mutant Species to break through the final 1%.
Well, next time the Evolution Egg encounters a Mutant Species, I should hold off on evolution.
If I can bear to.
President Qin said, “Luo Xiang should be here soon. If there’s anything unsolved, quickly deal with them. Once the training camp starts, you won’t have much leisure time.”
From where did you deduce that I’m leisurely, Mr. President? If you don’t have evidence, be careful, I might sue you for slander.
Bai Qi said, “Oh right, Mr. President, you mentioned before that the Beast Master Association provides a free Lord Level pet beast. Could I also exchange for it at the headquarters?”
President Qin nodded and said, “Of course, it’s originally sent from the headquarters anyway, directly picking it up there would eliminate the need for transportation.”
As he said this, President Qin suddenly grabbed Bai Qi’s shoulder, “You must remember, connect with me before making a contract this time. I’ll help you choose, don’t just rashly make a contract like before.”
While the Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf did indeed perform spectacularly during the assessment, it was still just an elite creature, lacking potential compared to a Lord Creature.
Unless it could evolve again, its future achievements would be quite limited.
“Well, I will strive for it.”
Looking at President Qin’s serious expression, Bai Qi felt a little guilty.
Although he was dying to make a contract with a flying pet beast, ensuring that he wouldn’t be stuck in traffic again, the potential displayed by the slime monster also tempted him.
Though itwas just a servant, it could withstand Beta’s Blast Power, and its multitude of resistances proved its high cultivation value.
At least it was much stronger than Alpha in the beginning.
Well, let’s just see how it goes. What if I encounter a Mutant Species flying pet beast.
Alpha: “…”
Or a support-type pet beast like the Light Elf would also do. I’m not picky.
SchuckBeta:”…”
Bai Qi discussed some details about the training camp with President Qin then left the Beast Master Association.
He had practically moved everything from his home. He’d recently replenished the supplements Alpha had exhausted when evolving, so there seemed to be nothing left to pack.
“Forget it, I’d better go back to the mysterious realm and continue working on the Catastrophe System.”
Bai Qi had been too busy preparing for the opening ceremony over the past few days to manage affairs in the mysterious realm. He had delegated everything to Schuck and had no idea how things were going so far.
Thinking along these lines, Bai Qi couldn’t be bothered to go home. He directly entered the mysterious realm.
“Bai Qi… err…”
Just as Bai Qi disappeared, Lu Yuan suddenly ran over from afar. Before he could say anything, Bai Qi had already vanished.
“This guy, why does he always run so fast?”
Lu Yuan looked exasperatedly in the direction Bai Qi had disappeared, sighing.
He had thought to ask Bai Qi if his Ghost Bone Giant Tiger could also evolve through Rune Evolution, only for Bai Qi to stride off with President Qin.
Although he had cleverly guessed that Bai Qi might be at the Beast Master Association, he was still a step late.
Should I stake out his house?
Mysterious realm.
As soon as Bai Qi appeared in the mysterious realm, he was stunned by the bustling scene in front of him.
Several skeletons of various colors were working on various tasks under Schuck’s direction.
The one using its fiery claws to weld at high temperatures was Fire Claw;
The one continuously shuttling parts and materials through the shadows was Shadow Stinger;
The one administering cold treatments to some materials was Ice Bone;
The one busily moving materials with its head low was Steel Skull;
These were all given to Bai Qi by President Qin at the beginning for his rune research. They were never taken back, and Bai Qi was originally planning to give them to the Elf House. But he never thought that Schuck would directly enlist them as his helpers.
Additionally, Bai Qi noticed that all the skeletons had mechanical devices installed on them, guiding the precise operation of energy.
Bai Qi walked up to the Husky, grabbed a slime monster, kneaded it a bit, and asked, “Schuck, how is the Catastrophe System installation going?”
Schuck paused for a moment, then replied, “The primary design has been drafted, mostly according to your requirements, Beast Master. However, the actual construction will take time, so I ask for your patience.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction. Since gaining Schuck’s mechanical conscious mind, he had started delegating many tasks. He’d even stopped doing much of the hands-on work for Mechanical Weapons specialization.
Ah, going from frugality to extravagance is easy, but the reverse is hard.
He had indeed fallen to indulgence.
Bai Qi lamented secretly and then threw the slime monster back onto the Beta. Beta, who had just started recovering, sank back into its languishing state. Dog’s life, it’s gone…
Bai Qi looked at the hardworking skeletons in front of him and asked, “Do you need me to fetch a couple of skeleton soldiers to help you out?”
“No need. Even if the skeleton soldiers evolve successfully, their attributes are still too low. The mechanical devices are much more effective. These are just temporary solutions.”
Schuck shook his head and said, “However, these skeletons do possess different attributes. Once the base construction is complete, I plan to modify them.”
Uh, was this a plan to recreate the Andulu Beast project that had failed on Alpha?
If Celestial Brilliance found out, he would probably chop him up…
Shaking his head, Bai Qi silently determined the future of these skeletons.
Unless one day he could defeat Celestial Brilliance, or Schuck gave up on modifying them, these skeletons might have to stay in this secret realm for the rest of their lives.
Bai Qi asked, “By the way, how is the installation of the Angel’s Flower going?”
“I’ve temporarily simulated an environment suitable for the Angel’s Flower. It seems to be growing well so far, but if you want it to flourish, you should find some light-element materials.”
“Light-element materials…”
Bai Qi scratched his head, instinctively thinking of Wu Yi.
Since his main pet was the light-attribute Goddess Butterfly, there must be plenty of light-element materials around him, right?
But that guy was too calculating, not straightforward like Xia Xuan. If he tampered with the light-element materials and damaged the Angel’s Flower, the loss would outweigh the gain.
“Never mind. Let’s go and find some light-element runes instead.”
Looking at the orderly construction site in front of him, Bai Qi didn’t linger any longer and directly left the secret realm.
Bang!
Just as he returned to the real world from the secret realm, he felt a figure collide with him head-on. He had no time to dodge, so the collision was quite a full-on impact.
Oh no, he had completely forgotten that he had entered the secret realm right at the entrance of the Beast Master Association. That was a mistake.
“Bai Qi, why are you here?”
Just as Bai Qi was planning to apologize, a familiar voice came. Looking up, the person he had bumped into turned out to be Bai Qiucha.
“Uh, sorry, I just came out of the secret realm and didn’t notice you.”
Bai Qiucha shook her head, then said, “It’s fine, you’re just in time. I have something to ask you.”
“Ask me?”
Bai Qi was surprised, not quite understanding Bai Qiucha’s meaning.
Bai Qiucha, the legendary son, had so many resources at his disposal, so why did he need his help?
“That’s right. These days I’ve been trying to break through the Tower of Gratitude, but I always fail at the seventh floor.”
Bai Qiucha nodded seriously and said, “I know the Tower of Gratitude tests a Beast Master’s rune knowledge, so I want you to teach me about runes.”
Scratching his head awkwardly, Bai Qi said, “I’m just a student, wouldn’t it be better to learn from a Rune Department professor if you want to study runes?”
Bai Qiucha said, “I asked. Learning runes is extremely time-consuming. I can’t afford to wait.”
“Can’t wait? The Tower of Gratitude isn’t going anywhere, you can take your time to learn.”
“The Tower of Gratitude can only accommodate second and third stage Beast Masters. If I continue to suppress my level, it’ll hinder future development, so I need to learn quickly.”
Suppressing your level?
You’re about to break through?
Looking at the potential youngest four-stage Beast Master in Federation history before him, Bai Qi was speechless for quite some time.
“I’ve researched it. You didn’t take much time learning runes before going to the Tower of Gratitude. So, I want to learn your accelerated method!”
As she spoke, Bai Qiucha suddenly bowed deeply to Bai Qi, saying solemnly, “Please!”
Oh, come on, why the bow!? Speech is fine!
Looking around at the crowd that was gathering slowly, as well as a few phones that had started recording, Bai Qi already foresaw tomorrow’s headline news.
“Son of Celestial Brilliance Bows Down to Founder of Rune Evolution, Hidden Secrets Suspected…”
