Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 154 The Cowardly Dragon's Gift

"To the capital for an overseas assignment?"

Looking at the documents Zhang Shan handed over, Bai Qi was clearly somewhat reluctant.

He was hoping to rack up more points so he could exchange them for those legendary materials. Now that he's been sent abroad, and we don't even know when he'll be back, how is he supposed to farm points?

"Can I refuse?"

Zhang Shan nodded and said, "Of course you can. Although this is an order from the president, it is your right to refuse."

Good grief, they're not even going to use bribery, they're just resorting to coercion?

Bai Qi sighed silently and said, "Could I ask what exactly I'm going to do? After all, I'm just a third-tier beast tamer; I probably won't be of much use, right?"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Zhou Yan and the others, who were standing nearby listening out of curiosity, couldn't help but roll their eyes.

He's just a third-tier beast tamer, nothing more!

Have you ever seen a third-tier beast tamer defeat a fourth-tier ferocious beast?

Zhang Shan shook his head and said, "I haven't been told the specifics of the mission. You can ask the people accompanying you on this mission later."

"Accompanying personnel?"

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then saw Luo Xiang walk in from outside the door, wave at him, and say, "No need to guess, it's me."

"Okay, I think I understand now."

Luo Xiang has cracked the most secrets of the Secret Tower in the association. When you go out with him, it's almost always related to the Secret Tower.

However, there are quite a few secret towers in Songlin City, and many of them are still unsolved. Is it really necessary to travel all the way to the capital?

Luo Xiang walked up to Bai Qi and said, "Don't worry, your practical training course has been waived. As for the other courses, the old man said that as long as you pass the final assessment, it's fine."

Bai Qi scratched his head. Was he concerned about the assessment? He was concerned about the points!

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Luo Xiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know what you're thinking. You'll also get points during this overseas mission, no less than during your normal training."

"Then everything is fine."

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it didn't affect his ability to accumulate points to exchange for legendary materials, whether or not there was a quest didn't matter.

"I was originally supposed to leave today, but I had to add you at the last minute, so it's changed to tomorrow. You'd better hurry up and get everything arranged."

Bai Qi nodded. He had only been at headquarters for less than a month, and if there was anything to arrange, it was only Dan Xiaolong.

"Instructor Luo, now that you're gone, who's going to teach our rune class?"

Finally, someone discovered the problem. A mischievous smile appeared on Luo Xiang's face. He patted Zhang Shan beside him and said, "That's naturally Instructor Zhang Shan."

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, suddenly feeling that their future was bleak.

Bai Yuxiao leaned close to Luo Xiang and whispered, "Hey, Brother Xiang, could you guys consider bringing me along? I'm a history buff, after all, I'm a professional!"

Luo Xiang shrugged and said, "I don't mind, but are you sure you won't get beaten to death by the White Tower Master?"

"I'd better not, my dad might really beat me to death."

Bai Yuxiao shrank her neck and stopped talking.

"I need to contact the capital, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come to your room tomorrow."

Luo Xiang pulled Zhang Shan aside and said to the other students, "I still need to give your Instructor Zhang some extra lessons. You can study on your own for this rune class!"

"Long live Instructor Luo!"

Upon hearing Luo Xiang's words, Zhou Yan immediately cheered, only to find that the others were suppressing their laughter and looking at her with strange eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately realized what was happening and stiffly turned her head. Sure enough, she found Zhang Shan silently watching her, his expression unchanged over the years, making it impossible for Zhou Yan to guess what Zhang Shan was thinking.

Oh no, this time my joy has really turned to sorrow...

Fortunately, Zhang Shan didn't have the habit of making a scene on the spot. He just glanced at Zhou Yan and left with Luo Xiang.

After confirming that Zhang Shan had really left, the group of students cheered, while Bai Yuxiao silently gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up.

"Sister Yan, you're still fierce! You actually dared to act like this in front of that icy guy. Please accept my bow!"

Zhou Yan's eye twitched slightly, and she was about to react when Bai Qiucha, who never participated in such jokes, couldn't help but tease, "Sister Yan, although I know you're happy, I think Instructor Zhang might think you have a problem with him, right?"

"You two..."

Zhou Yan's forehead veins bulged, and he was already feeling the urge to beat the two of them up.

"It's alright, Instructor Zhang always keeps his personal and professional life separate, it definitely won't affect your studies, Zhou Yan. But in private..."

"They're doomed."

Li Mu's last words completely extinguished Zhou Yan's enthusiasm, and he immediately became listless.

Suddenly I'm thinking, maybe taking a rune class wouldn't be so bad?

Seeing Zhou Yan's appearance, the other trainees couldn't help but chuckle, and then left the assembly hall in small groups.

Since the start of formal training, their schedules have been packed, so they are taking a rare break and want to cherish it.

Bai Qiucha walked to Bai Qi's side and said with some regret, "I originally wanted to have a full-fledged spar with you, but it seems there won't be much of a chance."

Because Bai Qi needed to train the Slime, he basically sent Slime to the Arena Tower, so Bai Qiucha didn't challenge Bai Qi to a duel.

Now that the husky has demonstrated strength far exceeding that of its peers, he naturally wants to have a good fight with Bai Qi.

But now, Bai Qi is about to go out on an overseas mission, so he definitely needs to take care of the legendary dragon's affairs. It would be inappropriate to challenge Bai Qi to a duel now.

"It's alright. Judging from Luo Xiang's expression, he should be back soon. We can play again then."

Bai Qi shrugged and laughed, "Maybe I'll be a fourth-tier beast tamer by then."

"Tch, do you think becoming a fourth-tier beast tamer is like climbing stairs, something you can just do on cue? If you can reach that level within a month, I'll livestream myself eating..."

Bai Yuxiao pursed her lips in disdain, but instinctively stopped halfway through her sentence.

Although he joined the training camp temporarily, he had heard a lot about Bai Qi these past few days and naturally knew when Bai Qi became a beast tamer.

It seems this guy might actually be able to reach level four within a month?

Impossible, impossible. It's not that easy to reach the third tier. He can't possibly be more talented than me, right?

Yes, that's impossible.

Thinking of this, a confident look reappeared on Bai Yuxiao's face. Just as she was about to finish speaking, Lu Qing stopped her in time.

"Although I don't mind watching your live stream, I suggest you watch your words to avoid polluting everyone's eyes."

"Uh, never mind."

Seeing that Lu Qing said this, Bai Yuxiao swallowed her words back somewhat resentfully.

"I'll go to the Green Dragon Realm first, then we'll talk later."

Bai Qi waved to the group and then left on his own.

He didn't have much to pack in his dorm room, so after entering the teleportation range of the Green Dragon Secret Realm, he activated the Green Dragon Pendant and arrived in the Green Dragon Secret Realm.

The cowardly dragon, who was carefully tending to the tonics in Emerald Valley, asked with some confusion when he saw Bai Qi return so quickly, "Bai Qi, why are you back so soon?"

"I've been walking for three days already, how can it be fast?"

Bai Qi rolled his eyes and said, "However, I may have to leave for a while, so I might not be able to come here to see you all the time."

"Can't you come?"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, the Cowardly Dragon immediately put down his tools and said, "Bai Qi, have you gotten into trouble? Did you offend those terrifying creatures outside? You're so disloyal! If they come after me, I won't be able to handle them!"

"How about I run away with you?"

With that, the cowardly dragon turned and ran into the cave, looking like he was packing his things and running away.

"How many weird TV shows did you watch in the past few days...?"

Bai Qi sighed speechlessly and said, "I'm just going out on a mission. I'll probably be back in a few days if things go smoothly. I'm not running away."

"Oh, I'm so scared!"

Upon hearing this, the cowardly dragon immediately breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tend to its flowers and plants.

Holy crap, when did this cowardly dragon become so snobbish?

No, it seems that in addition to cultivating his sophisticated hobbies, his values ​​also need to be reshaped.

Bai Qi silently planned out his future education for the cowardly dragon, and said, "Isn't there anything you need me to prepare for you? Once I leave, no one will be able to find you."

"It's alright. I've lived through all these years, and now I enjoy tending to my flowers and plants every day."

The cowardly dragon thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you find me some gardening information? I see those amazing guys on TV doing this kind of thing."

Good grief, this motive doesn't seem very pure.

Bai Qi couldn't help but complain a bit, but he still went out and bought a bunch of gardening books for it, and brought them in by magnifying them ten times.

"I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

After confirming that there were no problems, Bai Qi was about to leave when Dan Xiaolong suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, the cowardly dragon ran back to the valley, rummaged around inside for a while, and then came out with a piece of emerald green scale.

"I can tell you have a great need for life. This scale was left to me by my mother. Although it's been a long time and its effects aren't as good, it should still be of some help."

Green dragon scales?

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. He was about to reach out and take it, but then stopped, saying somewhat awkwardly, "This isn't quite right. After all, it's your mother's remains. Isn't it impolite?"

The cowardly dragon waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we green dragons don't care about these things. Leaving it here will just allow it to slowly return to nature, so I might as well help you."

As he spoke, the cowardly dragon paused and said, "Besides, Bai Qi, you are my only friend. I don't want anything to happen to you, otherwise I'll be bored to death."

Upon hearing Danxiaolong's words, Bai Qi felt a pang of shame.

He was helping the Cowardly Dragon, but he was actually using him as a tool. However, the Cowardly Dragon seemed to genuinely consider him a friend.

Hmm, I'll keep an eye out for interesting things for this guy in the future.
