Chapter 123: Chapter 122: “Do What You Say”
Translator: 549690339
One by one, they all left, Bai Qi didn’t stay either. He was about to leave when a figure blocked his path.
“Hello, my name is Xiao Yuan, from Langya City, Insect System Fourth Stage
Beastmaster.”
Xiao Yuan had also been in the first group during the running task the previous day, so Bai Qi somewhat remembered him. However, Xiao Yuan didn’t seem especially interested in Bai Qi at the time, so they didn’t speak to each other.
Now, he had actively sought Bai Qi out, obviously because of Bai Qi’s previous performance.
The discoverer of Rune Evolution, one who had killed a Lord-level Ferocious Beast that was two stages higher, these two feats were enough to make them reach out to Bai Qi voluntarily.
“Bai Qi, Second Stage Beastmaster from Gusu City.”
Bai Qi responded politely.
“I did not expect you to really be at the Second Stage, viewing you from my usual perspective was my mistake.”
At these words, Xiao Yuan was still somewhat surprised, and the surrounding Beastmasters couldn’t help but exclaim.
He really was a Second Stage Beastmaster.
They say that there are a lot of exceptionally gifted people in special training, and this turned out to be true…
However, this Xiao Yuan also seemed quite formidable, and there were also several other Fourth Stage Beastmasters, all with fair share of rumors. It seemed they were all not ordinary people.
It seemed that in the special training that was about to start, they were fated to remain in the background.
“Thank you, I have something else to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
“Sure, as you wish.”
Bai Qi gave a faint smile and without wasting time with Xiao Yuan, he motioned to the still stunned Gu Shan and headed towards their dorm.
Watching Bai Qi leave, Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but show a trace of a smile.
“No wonder the old man specially told me to keep an eye on this kid, I thought it was his personal grudge with President Qin, now it seems, he’s indeed
interesting.”
Upon returning to the Secret Realm, Bai Qi called out Alpha once again.
Due to excessive energy consumption, Alpha’s Crystal Bone was noticeably
dull, much to Beta’s delight.
Woof woof!
(I feel like my chance for revenge is coming!)
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He then took out one of the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s horns and handed it to Alpha before using the
Evolution Egg.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon’s ability to manipulate gravity should have been concentrated in these two horns. If Alpha could obtain the ability to control gravity through them, coupled with the Control Object rune, it could definitely maximize its effect!
“Heavenly Expedition, Myriad Heavenly Attraction, the technique to recreate
Mosquito Eye’s abilities are not a dream.”
Watching Alpha gradually being enveloped by the Bronze Egg, Bai Qi had full of expectation in his eyes, taking out the other horn, he looked at Husky.
“Beastmaster, I don’t recommend us to add the gravity attribute. In comparison, I support the combination of mechanical and spirit attributes.”
Schuck saw through Bai Qi’s plan at a glance and directly expressed his opinion.
“You’re right, you have Spirit Power Variation, so it is more worth it to strengthen Spirit Power.”
After thinking about it, Bai Qi agreed with Schuck’s opinion.
Unless there was a Racial Evolution, Alpha would need some time to absorb the horn, using one horn might not necessarily make Alpha master Gravity Control, it would be safer to keep the other one as well.
“Now, it’s your turn, little guy.”
Bai Qi turned his attention to the colorful Sleepy Slime that was still in Deep Sleep beside him, took out the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s hide, and directly covered the slime with it.
The magic resistance of the Slime wasn’t a concern, but its physical defense was lacking. The Bull Demon’s hide could resist both the Withering Power and the sniper rifle of Alpha, entirely impervious to Zhou Yan’s long spear as well. Its physical defense was absolutely top-notch, and he hoped it could be transferred to the Slime.
TWO Bronze Eggs appeared in the Secret Realm, Bai Qi was not idle either and began researching with Schuck again.
“Judging from today’s training content, the coming days of the training camp might not be very easy. You should first put aside other things and increase your combat power.”
As his second pet, Husky until now had not shown significant combat power.
The only assault skill it carried was Blast Claw.
Oh yes, there was also that Thunder Cannon, which could likely send itself hurling too.
“Can be done, I have already completed the design for the Secret Realm modification. The rest is only a matter of construction, I can supervise it remotely.”
Schuck nodded, “As for my upgrade plan, I generally have some ideas. Here is the draft of my plan, Beastmaster, please take a look.”
Saying that, Schuck put a file in front of Bai Qi.
“The Valley-Breaking Mechanical Wolf Enhancement Plan 1.53 version? When did you make this?”
Bai Qi looked at the lengthy series of upgrade plans and couldn’t help being surprised.
“I did some research when I had free time.”
Schuck said, “But these basically focus only on the mechanical enhancements, for the main body’s upgrade plan, the Beastmaster will have to decide.”
Bai Qi nodded and looked at somewhat bored Beta.
There was not much left to explore about the Blast Power, Schuck’s enhancement plan had reserved plans for Blast Power. However, Beta’s Soul Whisper was hardly mentioned.
“For a spiritual attack skill that can only be used in speech, how should we use it ”
As Bai Qi eyed Beta for a while, he suddenly thought of something.
“Schuck, help me record a sound!”
In the afternoon.
Zhang Shan notified all the students on time to participate in the afternoon training, and the content was still actual combat.
“Everyone, come up and draw your number plates again.
The old-fashioned lottery method didn’t disappoint these students, there was even a faint sense of relief and anticipation.
If they were suddenly asked to run, they wouldn’t have been prepared at all. And if they ended up being teamed up with a few monsters, they could win without raising a finger.
Zhou Yan drew a number plate and then looked at Bai Qi and asked, “Bai Qi, do you think we can continue to be in the same team?”
Bai Qi shook his number 13 plate in his hand, and pointed at Gu Shan who also held a number 13 plate, and said, “Sorry, it seems we can t.
“Alright.”
Zhou Yan sighed regretfully after hearing this, but upon seeing Gu Shan’s wooden expression, she quickly approached him.
“Gu Shan, do you want to swap number plates with me?
Gu Shan scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this, not knowing how to respond.
“Yan sister, I suggest you not do this…”
Bai Qiucha pointed in the direction of Zhang Shan and Zhou Yan immediately realized what she meant and turned around, only to see Zhang Shan staring at her with a cold gaze.
“Ha ha ha… it was all a joke, don’t get upset.”
Zhou Yan laughed awkwardly and let Gu Shan go, then she went over to Lu Qing and asked, “Qing’er, what’s your number?”
“Number 14.”
Lu Qing adjusted her glasses and looked at Bai Qi, saying, “I didn’t expect to meet you so soon, I hope you can let me see the practical effects of the runes. With Lu Qing’s indifferent gaze on him, Bai Qi couldn’t help but get a headache.
The mind of a woman, like the needle on the ocean floor.
He didn’t know how he had offended Lu Qing, she seemed to grab onto him every opportunity she got.
Could it be because his rune evolution took place before hers?
Soon, the number plates were drawn again, but the students soon found that the number of plates was slightly different this time.
The number of students who got the same number had increased to four.
Were they preparing for four versus four?
Everyone’s eyes converged on Zhang Shan, but Zhang Shan remained silent and just opened the gate again.
This time, what appeared was not the arena from the morning, but a vast grassland.
“Although it’s 4V4, isn’t this dimensional space too big?”
The students frowned slightly at the sight, but Lu Qing and a few Six Towers’ students seemed to have some understanding and appeared to have guessed something.
“The next training exercise is a competition for number plates, with all students vying with each other. Your own number plate is worth 3 points, identical numbers are worth 3 points, other people’s plates are worth 1 point. The exercise will last for one week. Those who accumulate ten points and successfully reach the exit pass.”
I go, they’ve changed the competition rules again!
After hearing Zhang Shan’s explanation, the students were in an uproar again.
The same number equals three points, other numbers equal one point. It’s evident that snatching the same number plate has the highest efficiency. In this case, those with weaker abilities among the same number group essentially cannot escape being targeted.
Everyone was discussing heatedly, but was soon silenced by Zhang Shan’s gaze. “Let me make it clear, some ferocious beasts have also been sent into this secret space, so those who are afraid can apply in advance to not participate in the training.”
Bai Qi was startled upon hearing this. Had the iceberg turned a new leaf today? He was quite reasonable, wasn’t he?
“Instructor, I’d like to apply not to participate.
Sure enough, upon hearing that they could take leave, a student who performed the worst on the first day nervously raised his hand. Its not that he didn’t want to persist, but Zhang Shan’s rules in the afternoon were the complete opposite of the morning. The people who should have been teammates had now become enemies, putting him under a lot of pressure.
After all, one of those with the same number as him was Zhou Yan.
“Sure.”
To everyone’s surprise, Zhang Shan actually agreed to this student’s request. However, before others could follow suit, Zhang Shan’s next statement plunged that student’s mood into an abyss.
“I will have someone retrieve your student identification. I will contact your association about your specific results. You can leave now.”
Direct expulsion from school was quite severe.
Seeing Zhang Shan’s serious expression, Bai Qi didn’t think Zhang Shan was joking, and the student also realized the problem and quickly corrected himself, saying, “Then I’ll not take the leave.”
“I’ve already agreed to your request, so you’re no longer a special training member. Please leave.”
After saying this, Zhang Shan no longer paid attention to that student, and instead turned to the others and said coldly, “Anyone else wants to leave? If not, go in immediately!”
Everyone looked at each other and quickly went through the wooden door into the grassland, immediately dispersing without intending to hang around. Bai Qi glanced at the dispirited departing student and felt somewhat helpless. Although he had heard many people mention that Zhang Shan was well known for carrying out his promises, he didn’t expect him to be so serious. It seems he had to be careful during Zhang Shan’s training in the future.
After all, he and Zhang Shan had a grudge over that one stick.. Who knew if this guy would hold a grudge!
