Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 14 The Medicine Must Not Be Stopped

Although it was somewhat difficult, Bai Qi was quite satisfied to have found a way to upgrade the Evolution Egg.

"Alpha, let's continue."

Bai Qi drank the ice water in his hand in one gulp, feeling an unprecedented sense of joy.

He cleared 68 Screaming Mushrooms this morning, and with the guaranteed 1000 Federal Coins from the mission, he has already earned 4400 Federal Coins.

Based on the current trend, earning another three or four thousand this afternoon shouldn't be a problem, and then his financial problems will be temporarily resolved.

Thinking that he could finally get rid of the torment of compressed grain pills, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he chose a new direction to start harvesting on a large scale.

"Aren't they tired?"

Seeing Bai Qi and Alpha, who were equally excited, Wei Ze and the other two exchanged glances, looking at their pets who were too exhausted to move, and were unsure how to react.

"That's normal. As long as undead pets don't use skills, their stamina is endless."

Gao Cheng offered a flimsy explanation, but whether he believed it himself is anyone's guess.

Undead creatures have unlimited stamina, but I've never heard of undead beast tamers having unlimited stamina.

Bai Qi, of course, was unaware of the others' thoughts. He led Alpha to search for Screaming Mushrooms, and the others, seeing this, lost their desire to continue resting and began working with their obviously reluctant pets.

……

In the evening, Bai Qi and Alpha returned home laden with their earnings and began planning how to use the proceeds.

As for Gao Cheng and the others, without exception, they were all somewhat exhausted.

Their pets don't have Alpha's super-fast speed, so they can only rely on skills to clear out Screaming Mushrooms.

Over time, energy recovery became a problem, and mistakes increased.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they probably won't be taking on this mission again tomorrow.

Gao Cheng glanced at the sky, handed the storage box to a staff member, and said, "It's getting late, let's head back first. Everyone should still have to go to class tomorrow."

Apart from him and Bai Qi, the other three were all high school students. Although they were all combat majors, they still needed to study academic subjects.

After all, without sufficient knowledge, it is impossible to raise a beast properly.

None of them disagreed with the elevation, and after settling the task payment, they embarked on their return journey together.

Before long, Wu Lan and the other two fell into a deep sleep, while Bai Qi was still thinking enthusiastically about how to deal with his first pot of gold.

He earned a total of 8100 Federal Credits today, far exceeding his expectations, enough to buy a lot of nutrient solution and go to the training ground a few more times.

However, this would mean there wouldn't be enough funds to deploy mechanical weapons.

Forget it, let's upgrade Alpha's level first. Once I pass the professional beast tamer exam, the funding problem will be much easier to solve.

Gao Cheng glanced at Bai Qi and suddenly asked, "Bai Qi, are you also planning to take the professional beast tamer exam?"

In this day and age, there are many professions related to beast taming, such as traditional breeders who specialize in raising animals, pharmacists who use pet materials to make medicines, or emerging professions like mecha pilots.

These professions are all based on pets, but they all have one thing in common: they are all support professions.

As a student of the Mecha Weaponry Academy, Bai Qi would undoubtedly become a Mecha Weaponry Master. However, after a day of interaction, Gao Cheng was convinced that Bai Qi would definitely participate in the professional Beastmaster assessment.

After all, he had never seen any mecha pilot modify non-mechanical pets.

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's right. I'll try my best to get my license this year so I can have more options when I take on missions."

Both the Evolutionary Egg and the mechanical weaponry require substantial financial support, which cannot be achieved solely through F-level missions.

"Um, isn't your pet only level 6, tier 0?"

Gao Cheng was full of questions and said, "It should be a bit difficult to advance to the first rank."

While increasing a pet's growth level isn't as difficult as increasing its race level, it still becomes increasingly challenging as you progress, especially for major advancements.

"It is a bit difficult. Otherwise, I was planning to participate in the assessment in June directly. Now, I can only team up with you again next time, Brother Gao."

The professional beast tamer assessment is held every three months, and it is already mid-May, so there are only about twenty days left until the June assessment.

Despite having the advantage of the Evolutionary Egg, Bai Qi didn't think he could raise Alpha to Tier 1 within twenty-odd days.

Seeing Bai Qi's confident demeanor, Gao Cheng was speechless once again.

Are all top students this confident these days?

It took him more than two years to train the Fire Armor Scorpion to the first level, and Bai Qi actually plans to advance to the sixth level in half a year?

Also, what do you mean by teaming up with me next time?

Is it really polite of you to say that?

Gao Cheng's lips twitched slightly, but he still advised, "I still suggest you train your main attack skills more, since the professional beast tamer assessment looks at all-around abilities."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I will train accordingly when I get back."

Alpha just acquired an attack skill, Shadow Lotus, yesterday and hasn't had time to train it yet, but Gao Cheng's words served as a reminder to Bai Qi.

Although Alpha's speed is superb, it might encounter opponents with control skills. In that case, relying solely on Shadow Lotus might not be enough.

……

After returning to Gusu City, the group dispersed, while Bai Qi went for another stroll through the commercial street before heading home.

Seeing his newly accumulated balance shrink again, Bai Qi felt a pang of heartache, but he felt a little better after seeing the box of nutrient solution.

With the support of nutrient solution, the aftereffects of the evolved egg should be greatly reduced.

But let's give it a try first.

Bai Qi summoned Alpha, opened a bottle of nutrient solution, and then used the Evolution Egg to wrap Alpha again.

The feeling of weakness returned, and Bai Qi immediately drank the nutrient solution in one gulp.

It's sweet and sour, a bit like fruit juice.

Bai Qi smacked his lips, and then felt a gentle energy flow through his body, completely dispelling the feeling of weakness. He even felt much better than before.

As expected, you get what you pay for. What are these compressed food pellets? I'm blacklisting them!

Bai Qi glanced at the nutrient solution in his hand with satisfaction. Now he could use the Evolution Egg with peace of mind.

I just don't know if there's any talk of drug resistance in this nutrient solution, so I hope I don't drink too much of it and it won't have any effect.

Forget it, I'll get a new one after I become a professional beast tamer.

You can't stop taking your medicine!
