Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Angel’s Flower
Translator: 549690339
Seeing such a massive pet beast getting caught so easily by the Snare, Bai Qi felt somewhat envious, w
Space Transmission Technique, a seven-stage mechanical technology.
“If I could master this technology, it would make our future operations much easier.”
Bai Qi watched the slowly disappearing light overhead with some envy, other plans beginning to form unconsciously in his mind.
Maybe he could find an opportunity to make a trade with Yi Yu later?
Although he didn’t have anything valuable to offer at the moment.
“But at least this task is finally completed.”
According to the professional assessment regulations, passing the practical assessment required the completion of two tasks. If some weren’t completed, the resources obtained during the assessment could be converted into points, which were used for admissions based on rank.
As for how many were admitted, that was up to the two main examiners’ moods.
Bai Qi glanced at the time, It was 3:10 in the afternoon, there was still a considerable time until the end of the test, enough for him to stay and collect resources for a while.
“Beta, maximize your perception. Whatever you can evolve into, it depends on this next round!”
Woof woof?
(Really, you’re not fooling me?)
The Husky suspiciously eyed Bai Qi a few times, but in the end, it couldn’t resist the allure of evolution and began sniffing vigorously on the ground.
Though it already possessed the blueprints for the first six stages of the Mechanical Engineering Department, crafting them still required a significant amount of resources. The endorsement fee from the Elf House still hadn’t come through, and relying solely on the 5 million dollars transferred by his parents wouldn’t last long.
However, thanks to a certain someone, he seemed to have found a shortcut to wealth accumulation.
Monitoring room in Danggu Mountain.
Cui Ming, looking at the feedback from Snare, was so delighted that his mouth almost reached his ears.
While the first round was dominated by Gusu City, they finally turned the tide in the second and third rounds with their examinees showing great performance, leading all the way.
Especially during the third round, several students from Tainxuan High School completed their tasks in no time and started resource gathering early.
Among the first ten who completed the tasks, only Xia Xuan managed to secure a spot in the top three.
However, the happiest for Cui Ming was the poor performance of Bai Qi, who secured first place in the first round.
Taking more than two hours to finish the task was not slow, but compared to other prodigies, it was a bit lackluster.
“President Qin, it appears that Gusu City needs to work more on their practical training. Such results don’t live up to President Qin’s reputation from your time.”
President Qin sighed as if regretful. “What can we do? The living conditions in Gusu City are too good, resulting in those kids being laid-back.”
Cui Ming’s face stiffened. One of the main reasons why Lingxi City is so competitive is that they are always trying to catch up with Gusu City. President Qin’s words were salt in the wound.
Upon seeing Cui Ming’s discomfort, President Qin slightly smiled, but the smile quickly faded.
What was taking that rascal Bai Qi so long? He didn’t seem this slow during the tower climbing.
“Ahem, anyway, as long as you remember our previous agreement, President Qin, if the total score of Lingxi City surpasses that of Gusu City, the Gemini Tower must be solely used by Lingxi City for a year.”
“Ha, I’m not that old. Just make sure that you won’t go back on your word and give up the Mind Spring.”
They eyed each other, then turned their heads, not looking at each other anymore, like quarreling children.
Just then, an examiner responsible for monitoring the contestants suddenly reported, “Presidents, there’s a significant energy fluctuation on Danggu Mountain. Some of the top ten students seem to be battling.”
“A battle? That must be Xia Xuan and Zhang Kai, right?”
Upon hearing the report, Cui Ming immediately ordered the examiner to zoom in and check the situation.
Just as expected, one of the battling participants was indeed Lingxi City’s prodigy, Wang Yun, but the other one wasn’t Xia Xuan; it was Bai Qi.
“How come it’s this guy?”
Cui Ming frowned, but soon relaxed.
Although Bai Qi’s Ice Shadow Swordsman, with its 13000 Energy Value, surprised him, it was still a High-grade Elite. Against Wang Yun’s Six-eyed Monkey, a Lord Level beast, it didn’t have much of an advantage.
After all, in front of the Intimidation skill, accessible only to Lord Level beasts and above, Elites and Servants can barely deliver half their combat prowess.
“President, Wang Yun is starting to fall behind.”
Cui Ming:”!!!”
Danggu Mountain.
Bai Qi led Husky around leisurely in search of various resources.
Thanks to Husky’s extraordinary sense perception, Bai Qi almost never took a wrong turn, and he could always find something valuable after a while. Even though the overall quality was not high, every little bit added up.
He was not picky.
Unfortunately, he didn’t encounter many Beast Masters along the way. The two he met were from Gusu City, and he reluctantly let them go after a moment’s hesitation.
If nobody knew about him hitting his own people, it would be fine, but if Old Qin found out, he would surely be beaten to death.
It was better to hit the other side.
Woof woof!
(What a wonderful smell.)
Husky sniffed, then suddenly bolted, causing Bai Qi to almost be pulled off his feet.
“Stupid dog, are you trying to kill your own Beast Master?!”
Bai Qi grumbled as he stood up, brushing off the dust, and chased after Husky. As he was about to scold him, his attention was drawn to a line of white flowers in front of him.
[Name]: Angel’s Flower
[Introduction]: It is said that this plant formed where drops of angel’s blood fell to the earth and it can bear Angel Fruit.
Could such good things actually exist on Danggu Mountain?
Bai Qi’s eyes shone, and he rushed over without thinking about settling scores with Husky.
If it had been in the past, the Angel’s Flower might not have been of much use, since it couldn’t be cultivated in ordinary places. However, Bai Qi now had a support secret realm, which was originally designed to cultivate plant attribute beasts. It was more than suitable to plant Angel’s Flower in.
If he actually managed to successfully cultivate it, wouldn’t he achieve financial freedom, eliminating the need to worry about Evolution Egg expenses in the future?
With this thought in mind, Bai Qi immediately directed Alpha and Husky to carefully relocate the Angel’s Flower into the secret realm.
“Stop!”
With a scream, a streak of golden light suddenly shot from a distance. Alpha was about to defend, but the golden light bypassed Bai Qi and went straight towards something behind him.
Chirp chirp!
Bai Qi turned his head and saw a bird flashing with white light emerge from the Angel’s Flower bushes. It skilfully dodged the golden light’s attack and took off into the sky with a flap of its wings.
Was that a Light Wings Bird?
It seemed like the Light Wings Bird did like to rest on vegetation with light elements or high energy values, and the Angel’s Flower was the perfect candidate.
He was so excited to find the Angel’s Flower that he completely forgot about this possibility.
How careless of him.
Seeing the Light Wings Bird that was within her grasp being scared away by Bai Qi, Wang Yun couldn’t help but feel aggrieved. “Bai Qi, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
Bai Qi was taken aback, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, he said, “You know me?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun clenched her fists tighter. “Do you know how long I waited for the Light Wings Bird to land and rest? Now everything is ruined because of you!”
Uh, the contest only started three hours ago, she couldn’t possibly have been waiting all this time, could she?
“Um, sorry?”
Bai Qi tried to apologize to her, but Wang Yun obviously had no interest in further conversation and turned to leave.
Just then, Husky suddenly came out from the woods nearby, throwing a tightly wrapped object in a spiderweb in front of Bai Qi, looking at him with a flattering expression.
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Human, I caught the Light Wings Bird.. How are you going to reward me?)
