Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 101 New Evolution

Upon hearing this, Alpha immediately felt a surge of joy. The greatsword flew from its hand, circled in the air, and then quietly hovered behind Alpha.

Wow, that's a perfect move, it's got a bit of a sword-wielding technique feel to it.

Woof woof?

(Is this still that stinky bone?)

Looking at the drastically changed Alpha in front of him, Beta curiously used his perception skill and immediately felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him. Alpha in front of him was replaced by a crystal bone dragon.

Awooo...

(Oh no, I can't get revenge again...)

Feeling the tremors emanating from all parts of his body, Beta suddenly felt hopeless about his dog life, while Shuk, after scanning Alpha, silently created a file in the AI.

【Shuke & Beta Enhancement Program 1.01】:

Beta: Enhances perception and explosive power

Shuke: Upgrade the mechanical system, consider fusing it with the Thunder Stone.

Bai Qi was naturally unaware of Shuke and Beta's thoughts. At this moment, he was completely captivated by Alpha's tremendous changes, while Chairman Qin and others outside the secret realm also noticed Bai Qi's unusual behavior.

Zhuge Chen said, "Has it successfully evolved? Quickly summon it to see!"

Bai Qi nodded and immediately summoned Alpha.

Gala...

The moment Alpha appeared, Ice Bone and the other evolved creatures in the training room immediately trembled involuntarily and instinctively lowered their heads to Alpha.

The dragon's might was something that servants like them simply could not withstand.

"This feeling, is it the might of a dragon? Has it evolved to the lord level? And the level isn't low either."

President Qin glanced at Alpha a few times and immediately judged its general situation, while Bai and Guang noticed the aura on Alpha that seemed capable of causing everything to wither.

The Nine Netherworld Sparrow, which had been resting in the courtyard, was also attracted by the aura emanating from Alpha. Its body instantly shrank to the size of a sparrow, circled Alpha for a while, and then landed on Bai Heguang.

"The power of decay... I never expected to see a super skill on a lord-level creature. Kid, what evolution materials did you use on your pet?"

A clear female voice came from the mouth of the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, immediately attracting the attention of Bai Qi and Zhuge Chen.

I had long heard that legendary creatures could speak human language and even transform into human form, and now it seems that it is indeed true.

However, what will the Nine Netherworld Sparrow look like after it transforms into human form?

Sparrow Girl?

Bai Qi paused for a moment, then said, "Besides the crystal dragon bone that Bai Chuanqi just gave me, there are only a few runes."

Is it really a rune?

President Qin and Zhuge Xu exchanged glances, while Professor Dong, abandoning his usual composure, displayed a scholarly fervor as he moved closer to Alpha to observe him.

"These six runes have been perfectly integrated into the energy circulation system; no, it should be said that they have become another core of the energy circulation system."

Professor Dong examined the six runes on Alpha's spine with a magnifying glass and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the runes should act as a converter, distributing the energy of the crystal dragon bone more rationally, and perhaps even increasing its upper limit."

Professor Dong adjusted his glasses, looked at Minghuang and Chairman Qin, and said, "I suggest that we hold a press conference immediately to make Bai Qi's achievement public, and then quickly form a special research group to conduct rune evolution experiments on skeletal creatures at various stages."

"Bai Qi's performance in the joint examination between the two cities will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested. It would be a huge loss if someone else beats him to it."

Chairman Qin nodded upon hearing this, glanced at Bai Heguang who still had a cold face, and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as I get back. As for the Patent Office, Heguang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make a trip there first."

Bai Heguang nodded and said, "Okay."

Although widespread testing has not yet been conducted, Alpha's successful evolution is enough to prove that applying for a core patent is no problem at least.

As for other derivative series, they are beyond their control, and there is no need for them to control them.

As long as Bai Qi holds the core patent for rune evolution, anyone else, unless they can bypass the runes, will have to pay patent fees to Bai Qi no matter what they research.

As for whether anyone dares to renege on their debt, are you sure you want to do the patent application that Legend of the Banned Account helped apply for?

"By the way, Bai Qi, what about your end..."

Bai Qi said, "The Withered Dragon Lord, his new racial name."

President Qin nodded and said, "I need to add your Withered Dragon Lord to the Federation's Pet Encyclopedia. Come to the association then, and I'll have someone give him a simple test."

"Don't worry, it's just basic information. Skill data and evolution materials won't be made public."

Lord level is a dividing line for the racial stats of pets. It's one thing for the racial data of pets below Lord level to be kept confidential, but those above Lord level are considered strategic resources of the Federation and will absolutely not be disclosed casually.

The reason for rushing to include it in the encyclopedia, besides seizing the initiative, is also to warm up for the public release of rune evolution.

"I see. Then let's update Beta's evolved form at the same time."

Upon hearing President Qin's words, Bai Qi immediately summoned the husky as well, asking, "By the way, President, is there a reward for discovering a new evolved form?"

President Qin: "..."

Zhuge Chen: "..."

Zhuge Xu: "..."

Looking at the two pets in front of him, which were so different from their kind, even President Qin, with his rich experience, was a little taken aback.

He knew that the husky had fused with the Exploding Stone, and he only thought that the two-headed wolf design was just some of Bai Qi's weird hobbies. Now you're telling him that this is also a new evolution?

"Are you sure your talent is breaking through the void and not accelerating evolution?"

Bai Qi shrugged innocently. He had never said that his talent was unrelated to evolution. This so-called "sky-breaking talent" was something you guys forced on him.

"Never mind, just bring the update with you tomorrow."

President Qin was at a loss for words when it came to Bai Qi's evaluation. He said, "Also, you should prepare well these next few days. Luo Xiang should be coming to pick you up to go to headquarters for training."

He's already off to intensive training? He hasn't even had time to manage the secret realm yet.

At least give them some time to catch their breath; even a mule wouldn't play like this.

Bai Qi looked miserable. Once you enter the organization, it's like entering a deep sea; freedom becomes a distant memory.

"Don't worry, even if Luo Xiang comes, we'll have to wait until the press conference is over first. You can get some rest these next few days."

President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, exchanged a glance with Professor Dong, and said, "We've been here long enough, so we'll head back now. Remember to come to the association early tomorrow; I'll have Lao Mo help test your two pet beasts."

Bai Qi nodded and saw the two out the door. When he turned around, he saw that Ming Huang had already boarded the Nine Netherworld Sparrow and disappeared into the sky.

Tsk, it's great to have a flying pet; it can come and go as it pleases.

Speaking of which, Tepe still owes him a pet beast. I wonder if he can choose a flying-type beast.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be thinking about something again, Zhuge Xu coughed twice and said, "Bai Qi, let's talk about this contract now."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized that he had been so focused on the rune evolution that he had almost forgotten the most important thing.

Without a little money, how could he afford to raise such a money-burning creature as the Evolution Egg?

Bai Qi led the two to the living room and sat them down. Zhuge Xu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Our two families are practically family friends, so Uncle Zhuge won't play any tricks on you. I'll increase the endorsement fee we agreed on by another 10%. You don't need to do any special promotions. Just do what you're supposed to do and collect your money."

You can get paid without doing any work? I don't feel safe taking this money. Are you sure you don't want to add something else?

Before Bai Qi could even process Zhuge Xu's grand gesture, Zhuge Xu continued, "However, your uncle wants to make a deal with you. If you ever research anything new in the future, you should prioritize cooperating with our Elf House, and we'll split the profits 50/50!"

Bai Qi was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this, and said, "Uncle Zhuge, aren't you overestimating me? I'm still just a student."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange look appeared on the faces of both Zhuge Xu and Zhuge Chen.

Do you even realize you're just a student? Are you suggesting that a student should be doing things like this?

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to put pressure on you. Just think of it as my investment in advance."

As he spoke, Zhuge Xu took out a gleaming Federal Card and pushed it in front of Bai Qi, saying, "You've become the top scorer in the joint exam between the two cities this time. Your uncle doesn't have much to give you, but I've saved some money in this card. It's not much, just ten million Federal Credits. Consider it your pocket money."

"Just" ten million? As "pocket money"?

Well, I still don't understand the world of the super-rich.

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. Just as he was hesitating whether to accept it or not, Zhuge Chen spoke up, "My dad likes to throw money at people. If you don't accept it, he'll give it to someone else. It's better to keep the good stuff in the family. You don't need to be polite with him."

"You brat, what do you mean by 'using money to throw things at people'? How can you talk about your own father like that!"

Zhuge Xu gave Zhuge Chen a heavy tap on the head, then instantly switched to the demeanor of a friendly uncle, saying, "But what Zhuge Chen said is right. If you don't accept it, Bai Qi, who knows where your uncle will squander it? Just consider it your first dividend."

"Then thank you very much, Uncle Zhuge."

Bai Qi no longer held back and put away the gold card in front of him. Zhuge Xu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Bai Qi, your pet beast has just broken through, so you must have a lot to do. We won't stay any longer. Remember to visit the Elf House more often when you have time."

"I will."

Bai Qi nodded, exchanged a few more polite words with Zhuge Xu and his son, and then saw them off.

"Phew~ I can finally take a good look at Alpha's new skills."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction as he watched Alpha manipulating the greatsword to perform various difficult maneuvers in the courtyard.

It's often said that pets follow their tamers, and there's a lot of truth to that.

"Alpha, Shuke Beta, let's go back to the secret realm first. Let me see what kind of super skill only a lord-level expert can master."
