Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Burp…
Bai Qi burped and looked at Nicholas, who was still in a deep sleep next to him, feeling a bit helpless.
Ever since their return from the snake lair, Nicholas had been sleeping for straight five days without even turning over.
Fortunately, the Dragon Blood Grass Nicholas brought back last time was plentiful. Coupled with the fruits growing in the dragon cave and the food stored in Bai Qi’s secret realm, they weren’t running out of food.
“How long does this fellow plan to sleep? If he sleeps for seventeen or eighteen years, we might miss our meals.”
Bai Qi yawned and looked at the husky, who was also eating Dragon Blood Grass with a disdainful face, and then at the Alpha, who was Making strenuous efforts to practice gravity amplification, a sudden idea struck him.
“How about you two have a fight?”
Ahwo?
(Human, are you crazy? Asking a Mid-Level Lord to challenge an Elite!)
Beta couldn’t help but roll its eyes and gave Bai Qi a contemptuous look before turning its head away, refusing to speak.
“Well, then, I guess we should wait until you’ve reached the Lord Level.”
Bai Qj sighed helplessly. Stuck in the secret realm all these days, Bai Qi had spent his time eating grass and discussing the modifications plan of the mechanical parts with Schuck.
After all, having the Mechanical Engineering Department’s data on the six stages, strengthening the mechanical parts was relatively simple.
The only problem now was the shortage of satisfactory metal.
Although Xia Xuan’s titanium platinum alloy had a pretty good overall performance, it still fell short of Bai Qi’s expectations.
As a dual-attribute pet of mechanical and biology, the material used for the mechanical parts would significantly impact the skill the husky would acquire after evolving into a Lord.
If possible, he would like to find a legendary metal for the Husky like Alpha. If that’s not doable, a mythical material of spirit power would suffice.
“Schuck, what do you think about me helping the Federation to win over a legendary creature as a guardian beast and asking for a piece of legendary material as a return?”
Schuck paused for a moment and said, “Although I also want to do it, from these days’ observations, the possibility of this Green Dragon leaving the secret realm is relatively low.”
“That makes sense.”
Bai Qi scratched his head in frustration, considering the current lifestyle of this creature, it surely was a stay-at-home dragon.
No, it was even worse than a stay-at-home dragon. At least they have activities, but this creature was only eating and sleeping, completely wasting the power of a legendary creature.
“It’s alright. Let’s focus on improving your racial values.”
Bai Qi then equipped Alpha, Husky and the slime with the Evolution Egg.
There was no immediate need to ammend the reinforcement plan, and they couldn’t leave. Therefore, using the Evolution Egg was ideal.
There was plenty of Dragon Blood Grass here, so it would be a waste not to use it.
Maybe due to continuous use of the Evolution Egg and the Dragon Blood Grass, Bai Qi’s physical constitution had significantly improved.
After using the Evolution Egg three times in a row, he only felt a little weak. He ate two bites of Dragon Blood Grass and instantly recovered.
“If there’s a chance, I’ll move some of them to that valley. Then I can alternate between eating them and the Angel Fruit.”
Feeling the mild energy from the Dragon Blood Grass, Bai Qi sat down and started meditating.
Despite his good performance in training, his level was rather low. Being stuck here was the perfect time to meditate and improve his spirit power.
Snap!
Just then, the always broken Evolution Egg made a crisp sound. The bronze shell couldn’t conceal the silver light any longer, and it filled Bai Qi’s Beast Control Space with a silvery shine.
Did it finally break through?
Feeling the gradually expanding Beast Control Space and the Evolution Egg, which was still emitting a silver glow, Bai Qi fell into contemplation.
During the last time, Bai Heguang’s Jiuyou Darkbird had helped him complete the progress of the “Black Iron Egg,” making him advance to the second stage. This time, although he had advanced to 100% progress with the help of Nicholas, he was still stuck without any advancement.
Initially, he thought he would stay stuck for a long time. However, he unexpectedly advanced.
Without encountering other pets, and Alpha’s evolution also didn’t take place, the only probable reason could be the Dragon Blood Grass.
“Who would have thought that the Dragon Blood Grass, which can enhance physical fitness and spirit power, would really break my limit.”
Using the Evolution Egg consumed a lot of physical energy and spiritual power. However, after recovering, it also strengthened Bai Qi’s physical constitution and spirit to a certain extent.
But this enchancement also had its own limit. The last time during the “Black Iron Egg,” because of an increase in usage frequency, he had reached a phase limit rather early.
But after he advanced to the second stage, the usage frequency of the Evolution Egg actually decreased. Hence, until now, he hadn’t reached the limit of the enhancement.
In conclusion, in addition to raising the progress to 100%, advancing the Evolution Egg also needed a particular physical constitution and spirit power.
“Huh, didn’t expect this Golden Finger to be so user-friendly.”
Looking at the Evolution Egg, which was still emitting a strong light, Bai Qi didn’t feel troubled.
As per the past experience, the physical energy consumption increased after the Evolution Egg leveled up. If he didn’t have a strong physical constitution and spirit power, he would most likely dehydrate.
So, from a certain perspective, the Evolution Egg’s mechanism was protecting him.
At last, changes in Bai Qi’s Beast Control Space stopped. The original bronze crystal wall turned into a silver color, and the Evolution Egg returned to its original position.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Silver Egg 0%)
[Condition]: Activated
“It’s a pity I put some on these guys too early, otherwise I could have tested the effect of the Silver Egg right away.”
Bai Qi looked at the Silver Egg with some regret, planning to wait for another two hours, when the Evolution Egg transmitted another message.
“Can it be like this?”
Bai Qi walked up to Alpha’s giant egg with some uncertainty, tentatively placed his hand on the eggshell, and then activated the Evolution Egg.
Familiar feelings, familiar formula, his physical strength and spirit power quickly drained. The silver eggshell spread out along Bai Qi’s right hand, surprisingly wrapping around the outside of the Bronze Egg.
Watching the rapidly forming Silver Egg, Bai Qi gnawed on a piece of Dragon Blood Grass to restore his strength, and once again sheathed Alpha in a layer of Silver Egg.
Nesting dolls!
Again, nesting dolls!
Bai Qi fell weakly to the ground, gnawing on Dragon Blood Grass while digesting the information from the Evolution Egg.
After upgrading to the Silver level, the Evolution Egg gained a new function, which was to simultaneously apply multiple Evolution Eggs to a single pet.
Although this feature seemed useless at first glance, Bai Qi liked it quite a lot.
Stacking eggs meant stacking time. In this way, he could just apply a few eggs to his pets before going to bed, making the most of his time, right?
Even any time when he was inconvenient to use the Evolution Egg could be utilized in this way.
He was on a fast track to becoming a master of time management!
With this thought in mind, Bai Qi giggled foolishly. Suddenly feeling a bout of dizziness, he hastily munched on a couple of blades of grass to fill his stomach.
It seemed that he couldn’t be too reckless. He should first strengthen his constitution and spirit.
After continuously eating several Dragon Blood Grasses and nibbling on an Angel Fruit to change the taste, Bai Qi finally managed to recover.
“The Black Iron Egg takes half an hour, the Bronze Egg takes two hours, this Silver Egg should take at least four hours, oh and the stacking time needs to be accounted for.”
Looking at the three peacefully standing Silver Eggs, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit bored.
“Speaking of which, now that I’m a third-stage, I should think about which creature to form a pact with.”
Bai Qi looked at the three Rune marks on the back of his left hand, unconsciously glanced at Nicholas the timid dragon lying next to him.
It could fly and it could fight, fitting Bai Qi’s requirements perfectly.
Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking. A mythical creature. Even if Nicholas was willing, Bai Qi dared not form a pact.
He would definitely explode…
Perhaps sensing the aura of the Evolution Egg, Nicholas finally woke up gradually. Upon seeing Bai Qi, it suddenly let out a shriek.
“A human!”
Bai Qi was blown away by the gust of wind from Nicholas’s shock, without any ability to resist, rolling toward the entrance of the cave.
What the heck, this thing must have just woken up and forgotten me, right?
Fortunately, the three Evolution Eggs blocked his path, saving Bai Qi’s life. Nicholas finally woke up fully.
“Huh, what are you doing? Are these eggs yours?”
Nicholas curiously looked at the three Silver Eggs behind Bai Qi. He sniffed around and finally stopped in front of Alpha’s egg.
“I’ve wanted to ask you about this before, the smell on this, um… bones of yours, it’s familiar, is it also a dragon?”
Bai Qi paused, then said, “You could say that.”
After Alpha integrated the Crystal Dragon Bone, it developed a dragon attribute; considering it as Nicholas’s kindred was not a problem.
“Really? That’s great!”
Nicholas’s eyes lit up, and he started circling around Alpha’s Silver Egg.
“Can it transform into a dragon just like me? Can it fly? No, it’s too thin, it seems like it can’t fly.”
“Why don’t you just leave it here? I’ll help it put on some weight.”
Watching Nicholas chatter nonstop, Bai Qi suddenly had a wicked grin on his face.
Looking at this trend, it seemed not impossible to trick this thing into leaving? “Ahem! Well, Alpha is my pet, so it might not be able to stay here with you.” “Is that so?”
Nicholas hangs his head in regret, but before he had a chance to be disappointed, Bai Qi hit while the iron was hot, “Why don’t you come with me? That way, you can always be with Alpha, right?”
“Leave?”
Nicholas looked confused, obviously he never thought in that direction before. “Yeah, don’t you want to change to a more comfortable environment? Don’t you want to eat more delicious food?”
“To tell you the truth, I don’t really want to leave. I think it’s pretty good here,
and as for food…”
Nicholas grabbed a handful of Dragon Blood Grass and said, “I’m a vegetarian.1
