Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Destined Fate
Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing President Qin’s words, Bai Qi had an epiphany.
He had originally been worried that headquarters might use their superior-subordinate relationship to suppress him, but now that the buyer had been switched, he was not panicking at all.
Was there anyone richer than the Federation around here?
“Go home and have a good rest today, and think about what you need. Otherwise, I won’t care if you’re shortchanged tomorrow.”
Bai Qi immediately approached President Qin and said, “How about you give me some advice? I can’t just ask for a piece of mythical material, can I?”
“Why not?”
“Uh, really?”
Bai Qi was dumbfounded and said, “Aren’t mythical materials very rare?”
“Mythical materials are very rare, but so are Combination-type Secret Realm Towers.”
President Qin patted Bai Qi’s shoulder and said, “Once you get your professional Beast Master license and join the Special Training Program, you’ll understand the value of Combination-type Secret Realm Towers.”
Bai Qi nodded, as if he had opened a new world’s door.
“Can I ask for more then?”
Upon returning home, Bai Qi immediately took out the prize money from the competition and started to check it.
“10 million dollars… Those major powers sure have money.”
Bai Qi expertly input the account number and password, and immediately there was an additional $10 million in the account.
“Alpha’s Cold Spirit Iron and Soul-nurturing Wood have not yet been fully absorbed, so they can be put aside for now. It’s time to upgrade Beta.”
Since the next level of the Lamentation Tower required a Second Stage Beast Master, it might be a bit insufficient relying solely on one pet like Alpha. It would be safer to upgrade the Husky first.
“Alpha’s size isn’t big, so he can’t install large weapons. That’s a problem.”
Bai Qi took out a bottle of God’s Water to refresh himself, then summoned the Husky.
Woof woof woof!
(I’m out again!)
Being kept by Bai Qi in the Beast Control Space for three days, the Husky was indeed somewhat stiff. As soon as he came out, he excitedly ran around the yard.
However, the Husky didn’t play for long before he changed his destination and headed straight for Bai Qi’s workshop.
(My art, here I come!)
“Alpha.”
Bai Qi sighs helplessly at the sight, summoned Alpha too. Alpha immediately brought the Husky back.
Woof woof woof!
(You stinky bone, wait for me!)
The Husky glared at Alpha with a resentful face, and gave up struggling.
“Stay still, I’m going to level you up.”
Bai Qi had Alpha carry the Husky to the workshop, connected his smart-brain to the Husky’s, and started operating it.
“Basic assembly, basic mechanical engineering, basic weaponry, complete guide to basic materials, basic energy conversion…”
“Mhm, it should all be there.”
Bai Qi carefully checked, and after confirming that nothing was missing, took out a bunch of materials and placed them in front of the Husky. “Try assembling another Spider Web Ball.”
Huh?
Human, did you take the wrong medicine today?)
The Husky looked at Bai Qi with shock in his eyes, full of skepticism. He cautiously touched the parts in front of him, and after seeing no unusual reaction from Bai Qi, he began to work freely.
This time, the Husky’s assembly speed was noticeably faster than before. In a short while, he assembled three Spider Web Balls.
“Alpha, be on standby at all times.”
Although Bai Qi had input all the basic mechanical knowledge he currently possessed into the Husky’s smart-brain, thinking of the Husky’s powerful passive, Bai Qi still couldn’t put his mind at ease.
Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the three Spider Web Balls showed no sign of movement. Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alpha, try throwing one.”
Alpha nodded, picked up a Spider Web Ball, and threw it out.
Bang!
The Spider Web Ball exploded on command, ejecting the web inside. It was no different from the ones Bai Qi had made himself.
“Having a theoretical basis really does make a difference.”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, while the Husky on the side had its head drooping, looking listless.
So art, has it gone extinct now…
Boom!
Just at this moment, another Spider Web Ball suddenly exploded. Although it was frozen by Alpha in time, Bai Qi and the Husky were still left with sooty faces.
“What’s going on?”
Bai Qi picked up the last Spider Web Ball that Alpha had frozen before it exploded and looked at it with his Codex.
[Name]: Unstable SpiderWeb Ball
[Introduction]: Can launch a web to trap enemies, but is more likely to hurt oneself.
Bai Qi was silent, pulled the Husky in front of him, and the Husky’s data appeared before him.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (Psychic Mutation)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage-Ten Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Mechanical Claw, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance, Mechanical Assembly
[Energy Value]: 2900
[Condition]: Evolvable
The data was quite normal, except there was an added skill of Mechanical Assembly.
Try again, still doing the SpiderWeb Ball.”
Bai Qi pushed the Husky to the parts again, watching every step of the Husky until it was finished.
Again, three SpiderWeb Balls were completed, Bai Qi checked each one with the Codex, and found that only one was unstable, the rest were all normal.
The steps had no issues whatsoever, they were even more precise than when he operated them himself, yet there were these unstable Spider Web Balls.
Does this count as a sort of special passive…
Bai Qi glanced speechlessly at the Husky who was thrilled, thought for a moment, then took out the Thunder Stone and the Blast Stone. He suddenly had an idea in his heart.
It seems that perhaps large weapons are unnecessary after all.
Bai Qi opened the Union website and bought a large number of materials. He then took the two stones to the Husky.
“Here’s a chance for you. Choose your path of evolution yourself.”
Originally, he wanted to use the Thunder Stone in combination with the Mechanical Engineering Department to develop a new path of evolution.
One side is the Thunderbolt Wolf, the other side is Mechanical Armament. If it runs out of electricity, it can shock itself. Isn’t that more convenient than that Wolfpained Alliance Couple?
But looking at it now, doesn’t the Blast Stone seem to suit this guy more?
Huh?
(Really, could it be true?)
The Husky looked skeptically at Bai Qi, and only began to choose after Bai Qi’s repeated assurances.
First, the Thunder Stone. The Husky just sniffed it, and an electric current flowed through the Husky’s nose.
Woof!
I don’t want to be electrified again!
The Husky quickly retreated two steps, obviously remembering some unpleasant memories, then turned his gaze towards the Blast Stone.
Huh?
(This is…)
As soon as the Husky saw the Blast Stone, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on its head; it immediately picked up the Blast Stone in its mouth.
This is it!
