The transaction was finalized, and Yi Yu immediately put the Rune Puppet into a ring.
“President Qin, I’ve finished what I came here for, so I’ll take off now.”
“Sure, I won’t see you off then.”
Yi Yu nodded and glanced around. The members of the Thirteenth Bureau hidden nearby instantly appeared, summoned a Flying Machine Beast, and started packing up and leaving.
“The approval for that Mythical Material should come in a few days; it should be delivered to you soon.”
“I enjoyed this transaction, I hope we can trade one-on-one again in the future.”
Watching Yi Yu leave in a hurry, President Qin, curious as ever, approached Bai Qi and asked, “Why were you so quick to hand over that puppet? Do you have something else up your sleeve?”
“President, are you doubting my integrity!”
Bai Qi replied sternly, “That Rune Puppet truly was my reward for passing the ninth layer!”
But not all of it.
More exactingly, he had obtained that Rubik’s Cube before even passing the level, so it couldn’t have been considered a reward.
“Tch, why is he so interested in that puppet? Does the Thirteenth Bureau have some unique intelligence?”
President Qin pondered, and Bai Qi finally disclosed everything he knew.
After attempting and failing to use the Rubik’s Cube to pass the level, Bai Qi had set his sights on the Rune Puppet.
The construction of that Rune Puppet wasn’t complicated. As a student specialized in Mechanic Beasts, Bai Qi found it entry-level to repair the puppet.
The only thing that stumped him were the missing runes on the puppet. However, Bai Qi found them all on the Rubik’s Cube, and used the carving knife and runes glasses he had obtained earlier to successfully repair the puppet.
After fixing the Rune Puppet, Bai Qi also figured out the function of the Secret Realm Tower—it was merely a training tool for the young to gain knowledge in runes.
That puppet, was merely a training material.
“I see, Rune Puppets were indeed popular during the Era of Law Emperor.”
President Qin realized and asked, “What about the cores of these two Secret Realm Towers, did you get them?”
Bai Qi nodded, took out a red-and-blue ring and handed it to President Qin, “It should be this. However, I can’t enter it now, which is a bit of a waste.”
The Lamentation Tower could only let the Beast Masters of the first stage enter. Bai Qi couldn’t go in, and the Tower of Gratitude had a memory function that only permitted entry to the last floor you cleared. Since Bai Qi had already cleared the tower, he couldn’t go anywhere at all.
Bai Qi originally thought that after clearing the Gemini Tower he could get control of a secret realm, but his expectations were shattered.
“Trial-type Secret Realms are like this. If you don’t mind getting a Auxiliary-type Secret Realm in exchange for these two, I can apply for one for you.”
“I don’t mind at all.”
Bai Qi was ecstatic and immediately accepted President Qin’s suggestion.
With the increase of the Twin Pets’ levels, especially due to one genius pet focussing on explosion, Bai Qi’s home was beginning to show signs of inability to hold these two beings.
Originally, he had placed his hopes on obtaining a separate secret realm after clearing the Gemini Tower, but it seemed that his hopes were dashed.
“Alright, with the matters of the Secret Realm Tower at an end, focus on cultivating your pets and raise their levels. When you pass the professional examination, I’ll take you to the headquarters for a look,”
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, and looking to Bai Qiucha, who had Bai Qi in his sights, introduced, “Almost forgot, let me introduce Bai Qiucha, the son of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance.”
“Glad to meet you, I am Bai Qi.”
Bai Qi was momentarily stunned, but then reached out and enthusiastically shook Bai Qiucha’s hand.
More than a month ago, Gusu City’s media had been extensively reporting that Bai Qiucha would settle in Gusu City. It was absolutely sincere to say that he had long-awaited to meet him.
However, he didn’t expect Bai Qiucha to be so young. Combined with the Skeleton Dragon behind him, he was the picture of oddly adorable.
Tch… if the paparazzi got wind of this, the female fans of Gusu City would surely go crazy over him.
“Hello.”
Bai Qiucha withdrew his hand and asked, “How did you clear that tower?”
Well, damn. Was the Legendary Son always this direct? He immediately asked for game strategies?
But, since the tower was already cleared, it wouldn’t hurt to tell him.
“Are you in university yet?”
Bai Qiucha knotted his eyebrows, “I’m about to go to Star Mechanics Academy for my first year, does it have anything to do with this?”
“In that case, I suggest you choose the Rune Department, it should be helpful for you in clearing the tower.”
As if enlightened, Bai Qiucha said, “I see, thank you.”
Seeing Bai Qiucha being so polite, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised.
Weren’t these children from aristocratic families supposed to be arrogant like Xia Xuan?
“The Bai Family is an old family in the Beast Control Association, their family education is strict. They cannot be compared with those upstarts.”
President Qin chuckled, “You young people should have lots to talk about. Qiucha, I still have some matters to attend to. Could you trouble yourself to escort Bai Qi home?”
“Sure, president.”
Bai Qiucha nodded, leapt onto the Bone Dragon, and said to Bai Qi, “Get on.”
“Thank you for the trouble.”
Cautiously, Bai Qi walked to the Bone Dragon’s side. The moment he touched the Bone Dragon, his face lit up with ecstatic joy.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 65%)
[Condition]: Activated
It suddenly increased by forty percent! The Bloodline Level of this Bone Dragon must be at least King-level, no, it might even be Emperor-level!
The son of the legend is truly amazing!
But how come he wasn’t overwhelmed by Beast Backlash? Such a powerful beast, a low-rank Beast Master shouldn’t be able to handle it.
Filled with envy and curiosity, Bai Qi finally climbed onto the Bone Dragon’s back. The Bone Dragon immediately flapped its wings, and set off quickly with Bai Qi.
After the two left, President Qin took out the ring of the Gemini Tower and carefully examined it.
It really was a Combination-type Secret Realm, but with only two levels and both being trial-type, it didn’t seem to be worth the price the Thirteenth Bureau paid.
President Qin was puzzled, he took one last look at the Lamentation Tower and then disappeared.
On the plane of the Thirteenth Bureau.
Li Xusheng watched the Rune Puppet next to Yi Yu, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Minister, the Bureau spent so much just for this puppet?”
Yi Yu nodded with a smile and counter-questioned, “Do you think it’s not worth it?”
Li Xusheng kept silent, but the expression on his face spoke volumes for his stance.
“Just this Rune Puppet certainly isn’t worth it. But paired with this, it’s enough.”
Yi Yu took out the key he had received before. Instantly, a rune on the puppet’s forehead changed and a keyhole appeared.
“Artifacts from the Era of the Law Emperor, how could they not have a backup..”
