Beast Master Association.
Bai Qi walked through the entrance, leading his husky, and was immediately recognized by the receptionist. “Mr. Bai Qi, you’re taking your dog out today?” “Couldn’t help it, if I left this thing at home, I was afraid there would be no home to return to.”
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly. “Is there any Undead Department training grounds available?”
The receptionist covered her mouth as she lightly laughed. “Don’t worry, the president ordered to reserve a training room for you, though you might have to wait for a trainer.”
“No problem, I can train by myself.”
Be it the Steel Training Dummy 1.0 or Pea Shooter, the training targeted mostly Alpha’s basic abilities. Skills like Bone-Breaking Reformation were practiced more often, but practicing skills like the Shadow Lotus Skill at home was inconvenient.
Of course, Bai Qi also wanted to lay low for a while.
Ever since the husky learned to assemble mechanical creations, it opened a whole new world, spending more time in the studio than Bai Qi did.
To avoid becoming homeless, Bai Qi decisively chose to train at the association.
If he lingered, he might have been arrested as a terrorist.
“Alright, I’ll take you to the training ground.”
With a slight smile, the receptionist led Bai Qi straight to the members-only area, only leaving after showing him how to use the facilities in the training ground.
“VIP treatment is fantastic.”
Bai Qi tethered the husky aside, activated all the targets in the training ground, and then summoned Alpha.
“Alpha, today we are going to focus on two offensive skills, especially the Shadow Lotus Skill.”
Gala-gala.
Alpha obediently nodded, its body gradually disappearing into the darkness as it began a new day of training. Bai Qi found a spot to sit down and started studying a Rune Dictionary given by Professor Dong.
Since Luo Xiang already gave several hints, it would be unacceptable for Bai Qi to slack off.
Besides, Bai Qi unexpectedly found these runes far more interesting than he imagined.
Perhaps, did he have talent for these?
Woo?
(Why does this human keep grinning? Did he get shocked silly?)
The husky curiously glanced at Bai Qi who was grinning, then yawned idly.
(This dark place is no fun, home is way better.)
I want to go out and play.
The husky gazed at the chain around it, thought about it, and gave up the idea of breaking free.
The evil human upgraded the electric device on it, and it couldn’t bear it for now.
Click.
Just then, the door of the training room opened abruptly, and President Qin entered.
Putting down the dictionary in his hand, Bai Qi said, “Mr. President, why are you here?”
“I was about to look for you. I heard you were here, so I came straight over.”
President Qin looked at Alpha, who was practicing the Shadow Lotus Skill, nodded in approval, and said, “Not bad. Your Ice Shadow Swordsman may have an ice attribute, but essentially, it belongs to the Undead Department. The Shadow Department should not be neglected either.”
Is that so?
Why didn’t anyone tell me?
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, clearly not having thought about that.
Seeing this, President Qin smiled, and said, “I think I need to help you sign up for a course on basic beast control.”
“Uh, no need, I think I’m fine as is.”
Without hesitation, Bai Qi turned down President Qin’s kind offer.
Just learning about runes was already giving him a headache. If another one is added, might as well kill him.
“When you just said you were going to find me at home, did you find a mutant species?”
Bai Qi didn’t think he was lucky enough to encounter another mutant species, so he had asked President Qin to keep an eye out for him.
The reason naturally, was to save it for a contract.
“What are you thinking, are mutant species that easy to come across?”
President Qin glared at Bai Qi annoyed, “Luo Xiang reported about that key in your hand yesterday, and some have already expressed interest in purchasing it. So, there isn’t much time left for you.”
No wonder he suddenly got him to go to Professor Dong to learn about runes and gave him advice that day. Clearly, it was premeditated.
Bai Qi’s forehead pulsed as he silently cursed Luo Xiang countless times.
“You can’t blame him,” Qin Jiang said. “Even if he hadn’t reported it, the association would have found out soon enough, maybe even sooner.”
The Beast Master Association had branches throughout the federation. Many witnessed Bai Qi’s victory that day, and it was certainly impossible to keep it from the headquarters.
“But don’t worry, since the Lamentation Tower appeared in Gusu City, Gusu City has the exclusive rights to exploit it for a month, which even the headquarters can’t violate. According to the timeline, you still have at least ten days to improve your abilities.”
Upgrade to the second stage in ten days?
President Qin, you think too highly of me.
Bai Qi couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Even though the Evolution Egg had pushed his spirit power to grow quickly, upgrading to the second stage in that amount of time was a bit too much.
“I know this sounds a bit exaggerated, so I’ve specifically looked for a teacher in undead pets to give you special training. Every bit of improvement counts.” After all that, you still want to give me extra lessons!
Bai Qi pouted but didn’t refuse.
Although he didn’t believe any teacher could help him reach the second stage within ten days, having a teacher would be beneficial. After all, he was technically a self-taught Beast Master. Learning some professional methods would be useful.
“Is that teacher also from Star Mechanics Academy?”
“No, he’ll be here soon, you’ll know then.”
Bai Qi nodded, flipping through the Rune Dictionary, and started waiting.
Very soon, the door of the training room opened again, and Bai Qi finally knew who President Qin was referring to as the teacher for undead pets.
Titled Legendary of the Undead Department, Celestial Brilliance, Bai Heguang.
Bai Qi, uncertain, looked to President Qin for confirmation. After receiving it, he fell silent.
Inviting a Titled Legendary to tutor an apprentice Beast Master, does the Beast Master Association usually indulge in such extravagance?
Bai Heguang glanced at Bai Qi and frowned slightly, “President Qin, this is the kid you want me to help train?”
President Qin nodded, “Yes, it’s him.”
“In a way, he is also your junior. So, I’m counting on you for the next few days.”
“As long as you can get him to the second stage within ten days. You can use any method, just don’t kill him.”
Hey, you didn’t say it that way just now.
Seeing the cunning smile on President Qin’s face, Bai Qi’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
You said that whatever he could achieve would be fine, why has it changed to ‘just don’t kill him’?
The officials cheat, it’s really deadly!
