Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Practical Application of Runes
Translator: 549690339
Bai Qi submerged his spirit power into the ring and saw a vast plain, faint traces of cultivation still visible.
“This sanctuary used to be used for breeding plant-attribute pets, it was recently moved out, so the environment is still pretty good.”
President Qin said, “However, you have to treasure it. If you mess around too much, you’ll be the one losing out.”
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, already starting to plan the renovation of the sanctuary.
He had to rebuild his workshop. He received a series of mechanical engineering manuals from Yi Yu, and Bai Qi needed to spend some time studying them.
Husky needed a new home as well, um, it had to be explosion-proof.
Then there was Alpha’s training room…
It was another massive project.
“There’s one more thing. The association plans to summon the latest batch of special training members to the headquarters for training, so once your assessment is over, you’ll go straight to the headquarters.”
“I’ve informed Professor Chu, so you don’t have to worry about your studies.”
Bai Qi was stunned, “Is Professor Chu that easy to deal with?”
In Star Mechanics Academy, Professor Chu was the most senior and also the most tough. Bai Qi’s absence from exams wouldn’t necessarily obtain a passing grade from Professor Chu.
“Professor Chu is just demanding, not pedantic. Plus, when’s the last time you went to class? Don’t you have an idea in your mind?”
President Qin glanced at Bai Qi and said, ‘Tve arranged with Professor Chu. As long as you submit an assignment before the start of the next semester, you’ll be fine.”
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded, “Then shall I prepare to leave?”
“Get out as soon as possible. I get annoyed when I see you.”
President Qin waved his hand, indicating that Bai Qi should leave as soon as possible. Bai Qi, relieved, quickly left.
“This guy, really unreliable. Suddenly, I kind of understand Heguang’s feelings.”
Watching Bai Qi’s retreating figure, President Qin shook his head helplessly.
When Bai Qi returned home, he immediately began to pack and tidy up.
The rune set, God’s Water, Angel Fruit…
A series of items related to beast control were all organised by Bai Qi. He then took out the Secret Realm Core Ring and put it on his hand. Using his spirit power to cover the items in front of him, the once crowded yard instantly emptied.
“Having a space equipment is indeed refreshing. My mom no longer has to worry about me not tidying up.”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, looked at the equipment and materials that appeared in the sanctuary, then used his spirit power to wrap himself. He also appeared in the sanctuary.
This sanctuary, which was once used to cultivate plant-attribute pets, had a considerably better environment than the Gemini Tower and a large enough space of about 20 or 30 acres to fully utilize.
“First, let’s organize the things, then prepare for tomorrow’s assessment.”
Looking at the pile of stuff in front of him, Bai Qi summoned his twin pets.
Woof woof!
(What is this place?!)
Husky was obviously curious about this unfamiliar place, cautiously checking the surroundings. But after confirming there was no danger, it started to run around freely, completely ignoring Bai Qi’s orders.
“This guy, can’t really count on him.”
Bai Qi shook his head helplessly, then began to instruct Alpha to start sorting.
The sorting process was essentially a simple categorization. There was no power source in the sanctuary, some equipment could not be used, so Bai Qi and Alpha completed the work quickly.
“I need to get an energy system next time, I’ll check out Jiuding Mall when I have time.”
After arranging his things, Bai Qi pulled out a Spider Web Ball that had been engraved with explosion runes by Husky.
Because it was spherical, the explosion runes on the Spider Web ball were a bit crooked, but overall they were successful.
Bai Qi looked at the Spider Web Ball in his hand, eager to try it out, but considering the unpredictability of Husky’s creations, he handed the Spider Web Ball over to Alpha.
“Alpha, test how effective it is.”
Click click.
Alpha nodded and threw the Spider Web Ball forcefully.
Bang.
The SpiderWeb Ball smashed onto the ground without any reaction, and not even a trace of a web was spread out.
“It’s broken?”
Bai Qi let Alpha recover the Spider Web Ball to check it again thoroughly, but he couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
“Maybe the wrong person is using it?”
Bai Qi turned his gaze towards the exuberant Husky and ordered Alpha to grab him.
“Beta, are the ones that you ignited before and this one the same?”
Woof?
(Is there a problem?)
Husky curiously took the Spider Web Ball, gave it a good look, and then straightforwardly threw it away.
Boom!
The Spider Web Ball instantly exploded, blasting a huge hole in the originally flat prairie. The scattered webs made the surroundings a mess.
Indeed, a separate area must be allocated for this guy.
As Bai Qi observed the gradually recovering secret realm, he grabbed Husky and said, “Make one for me again directly on the spot.”
Husky’s eyes lit up at his words, and his mechanical arms swayed rapidly, quickly assembling another Spider Web Ball.
Next, using the engraving knife Bai Qi had taken from the Tower of Gratitude, Husky clumsily engraved the Explosion Rune onto the Spider Web Ball, giving birth to a brand new Explosive Spider Web Ball.
Donning the rune glasses, Bai Qi observed a faint red color and poor quality.
“Throw it again for a try.”
Upon the command, Husky once again tossed the SpiderWeb Ball. The Explosion Rune was triggered again. Still, this time, it was frozen by Alpha with frost before it could explode.
“So it is like this, the blast power was injected during the engraving. No wonder even with such a low degree of completion, it can have such an effect.”
Bai Qi nodded in approval. The combination of Blast Power and the Explosion Rune was a quick way to enhance Husky’s combat power.
But it was a bit dangerous.
“From now on, only after you get good at engraving the rune can you engrave the Explosion Rune on these things, got it?”
Bai Qi looked seriously at Husky, who wore a face of distress.
Woof…
(Human, you can’t be so mean.)
Bai Qi ignored Husky’s lament and turned to Alpha. Finding a random ice attribute rune, he asked, “Alpha, try to engrave using the ice attribute energy.”
Alpha nodded, receiving the engraving knife from Bai Qi, and started to engrave on an ice brick.
Clink clink.
(Boss, it’s done.)
After these days of training, Alpha’s carving technique was significantly better than Husky’s. At the moment of the rune’s completion, Bai Qi even saw a halo covering the whole ice brick.
“Beta, use the Blast Claw on this ice brick.”
Woof?
(Human, who are you belittling?)
Husky looked at Bai Qi skeptically but obediently used the Blast Claw.
The red energy flowed from Husky’s claws into the ice brick, but instead of exploding the ice brick into pieces as Husky imagined, it merely blasted a chink onto it.
Woof?
(The art… is gone?)
Rune: Solidify.
Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled, unable to care about Husky’s forlorn expression. He dug out all the ice attribute and dark attribute runes, letting Alpha try them one by one.
Runes for practical use! Just in time for testing in tomorrow’s assessment!
