Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Deadly Poison Aura
Translator: 549690339
After handing over all the snake eggs to Yi Xiaowei, Bai Qi’s previously deflated wallet once again became full, and he boldly ordered a batch of materials for Gamma’s meal.
Bai Qi confirmed the order and said, “I’ll leave Nicholas’ TV and game console to you. I’ll go and find him a large projector in the meantime.”
The television was fine, but giant game consoles needed to be customized, and could only be delivered from other places.
“Don’t worry, as soon as it arrives, I’ll deliver it to you right away.”
Yi Xiaowei nodded, then began to find people to deal with the pile of snake eggs that filled the entire hall.
Although the Holy Relic Tower was primarily responsible for managing relics and materials, unhatched snake eggs were still considered materials, and they would naturally collect them without error.
After leaving the Holy Relic Tower, Bai Qi looked at the towering building behind him and the other five majestic high towers around him, and for the first time, he really recognized the depth of the Beast Master Association.
Six tower masters, six legends, six legendary creatures, and these six towers. Just these resources alone were already shocking enough, not to mention Bai Heguang and other legends and masters who also belonged to the Association. Such a deep foundation, no wonder the saying about an organization as solid as iron, and the times as fluid as water, was circulated in the outside world.
“But that’s good, the thicker the leg you hug, the better!”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders and then directly entered the Secret Space, where he carefully took out the bottle of Etherium Liquid Gold and summoned the Husky.
Woof woof?
(What is this? I’ve never smelled this before.)
Beta, the first to notice the abnormality of Etherium Liquid Gold, sniffed at it and was about to taste it.
“Don’t move you stupid dog!”
Bai Qi, aware of the situation, gave Beta a heavy punch and relayed the information about Etherium Liquid Gold to Schuck.
“A metal substance capable of amplifying various types of energy, solid and liquid, it’s indeed a great material!”
Schuck also showed considerable interest in Etherium Liquid Gold. Rare emotional fluctuations were noted in his mechanical voice.
“But it means we’ll have to start our previous plans all over again.”
Bai Qi nodded and said, “You draft a prototype first, then we’ll study it together later.”
Schuck nodded, grabbed the Etherium metal, and returned to his workshop.
Though the general properties of the Etherium metal had been specified by the Holy Relic Tower, as a meticulous mechanical dog, Schuck still needed to conduct a series of tests back at his workshop.
“First, go buy a projector for Nicholas, then upgrade Gamma.”
After settling the materials he just purchased, Bai Qi left the Secret Space again. Buzz buzz buzz…
The moment he left the Secret Space, Bai Qi’s phone started to vibrate intensively.
“President?”
Bai Qi immediately answered the phone, hearing a delightful laughter from the other end.
“I knew those old fellows would be scared to death by Bai Qi! Sending him to the training was indeed the right move!”
As it turned out, Old Qin had this idea when he sent him here, but it felt good. “Ahem, President, do you need me for something?”
However, Bai Qi did not have the habit of eavesdropping, gently clearing his throat to attract President Qin’s attention.
“You finally picked up.”
Upon seeing the phone being answered, President Qin’s tone shifted dramatically. He showed no appreciation or joy as before and started complaining.
“You insolent youngster, I was so worried about you, and you’re just now answering the phone?”
“Also, I heard you made a fuss during training?”
President Qin babbled on for quite a while before he finally stopped, by which time Bai Qi was almost asleep.
Needless to say, he didn’t listen to a word of what President Qin had said.
“President, you didn’t call to complain about me, did you?”
President Qin paused, took a sip of tea to soothe his throat, and said, “Of course not.”
“I heard you pulled a Legendary Giant Dragon out of the hat?”
Bai Qi said, “It’s not so much tricking, just that my personality and charm attracted it.”
“Can you have a little shame?”
President Qin spat out in disgust and said, “But after all, it’s a legendary creature. Be careful when you deal with it. Otherwise, your little frame isn’t enough for it to swallow.”
“Yes, yes, I assure you, leader.”
Listening to President Qin’s droning, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel warmed.
He was not worried about the vegetarian dragon eating him, but he still accepted Old Qin’s concern.
“And also, I heard that you’ve advanced to the third stage?”
Bai Qi said, “Yes, I advanced yesterday.”
“You cheeky lad, just as well. I was worried your level was too low to keep up with them. With this rate of leveling up, you’re even faster than Bai Qiucha!”
“Keep it up, maybe you could overtake others in the curve and become the youngest fifth stage Beast Master in the Federation.”
A twitch started at the corner of Bai Qi’s eye, he said, “Hehe… you really think highly of me.”
“Well, there’s no rush.”
President Qin chuckled and said, “Since you’re at the headquarters now, I’ve introduced you to Heguang. He’ll help you pick out a suitable pet.”
“You are the first to receive the benefits this late in your special training.”
Hearing President Qin’s words, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Well, I’ve already made a contract.”
The phone on the other end fell into a brief silence. It took a while before President Qin spoke again.
“Could you say that again?”
“I’ve made a contract again…”
Bai Qi’s voice grew quieter and quieter, then instinctively covered his ears.
“What is it?”
“A slime monster…”
“Bai Qi!”
A deafening roar came from the other end of the call, startling Bai Qi almost to the point of throwing his phone. He hesitated for a moment before picking it back up.
“Mr. Chairman, calm down and let me explain.”
“Hmph! Don’t tell me you’ve contracted another mutant species?”
“Mm.”
Another long stretch of silence. It took President Qin a while to react.
“Bai Qi, are you sure your talent is Breaking the Void and not evolutionary mutation?”
Bai Qi’s heart thudded nervously. He replied, “Mr. Chairman, aren’t you already certain of my talent through your tests?”
When he received his license, the Beast Master Association had checked Bai Qi’s talent again, but they hadn’t found anything.
According to President Qin, this was the normal manifestation of the Breaking the Void talent, and the existence of the Evolution Egg was thus kept concealed.
But this Old Qin’s intuition was too accurate. He almost guessed the function of the Evolution Egg.
“I suppose so. But your luck really is too good.”
President Qin sighed and then said seriously, “Since you’ve contracted it, I won’t say anything more. But, if you are this impulsive again next time…” “Don’t worry, never again!”
Bai Qi quickly promised. He felt that his encounter with three different mutant species was already unbelievably lucky. If there were more, he worried he might die young.
Being too handsome can invite jealousy from the heavens…
“That’s good.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s reassurance, President Qin relaxed a bit. “Now that you are at the third stage, it’s a good time to consolidate your foundation at our headquarters.”
“With the talent you’ve shown, the Six Tower Federation will definitely invite you to join them. When that time comes, don’t be too polite to these old guys, feel free to name your price!”
Bai Qi paused at this. “Mr. Chairman, aren’t you afraid that I might not come back?”
President Qin rolled his eyes. “Just because you join the Six Tower Federation, doesn’t mean you’re no longer part of the association. What are you thinking?”
Bai Qi nodded and said no more. President Qin, evidently having other guests to entertain, reminded him of a few things and then hung up.
“Joining the Six Tower Federation, huh? That sounds quite good.”
Bai Qi looked over his shoulder at the six towers behind him, gave a small smile, and then headed straight for the city.
The Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Bai Qi manually taught Nicholas how to activate the projection and change the battery. Then, he started preparing to strengthen the slime monster.
He didn’t hide when he used the Evolution Egg before Nicholas, so this time, he decided to use it in the Green Dragon Secret Realm.
Ka-Pu Ka-Pu.
(Why are we here again?)
“Without any surprises, we’ll be coming here often.”
Nicholas had completely masters the control of this secret realm, thus, he received the rights to access it in and out. It would be a waste not to utilize such a large secret realm.
And, when the husky and Gamma evolved into a Lord or higher, Nicholas might very well come in handy.
He had distinctly felt the immense lifeforce contained within Nicholas’s Jade Breath.
“Let’s start.”
Bai Qi took out the tumor from the python and placed it in front of the slime monster, signaling it not to eat it directly. Then, he activated the Evolution Egg.
“It’s a material that sits between epic and legendary. I wonder what ability it will grant the slime monster.”
Bai Qi sat down, took a bite of the Dragon’s Blood Grass, and started to meditate.
Four hours quickly passed. The moment the Silver Egg shell cracked open, Bai Qi opened his eyes.
Before the Silver Egg completely cracked open, a green liquid ooze out from the shell and quickly covered the entire shell. It swallowed it down in one gulp.
Ka-Pu Ka-Pu.
(So yummy-)
After digesting the shell of the Silver Egg, the slime monster transmitted a feeling of immense satisfaction to Bai Qi. It hopped into Bai Qi’s lap and fell asleep.
Indeed, living up to its reputation as a glutton – eating then sleeping.
Bai Qi patted the slime monster’s squishy body and began checking its status.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: First Stage Second Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption (Perfect), Mimicry (Perfect), Corrosion (Proficient), Toxin Resistance (Proficient), Blazing Resistance (Proficient), Radiation Resistance (Proficient), Current Resistance (Proficient), Frozen resistance (Beginner), flame resistance (Beginner), Deadly Poison Aura (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 11000
[Condition]: Evolvable
As Bai Qi predicted, after absorbing the tumor, the slime monster underwent racial evolution and gained an additional skill, which was indeed a toxin- related skill.
However, it wasn’t the poison cloud that Bai Qi had anticipated.
[Skill Name]: Deadly poison aura
[Skill Level]: High level
[Skill Effect]: Toxin skill. After release, it will cause toxin damage to all organisms in the covered area of the aura.
The aura-type skill surprisingly suited Gamma…
