Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 187 Enhanced Large-Scale Procurement (First Update)

Green Dragon's Secret Realm.

A black griffin circled rapidly in the air; it was none other than Delta, who had evolved into Gale Wings.

However, he clearly hadn't mastered the skills of flying, bobbing up and down in the air as if he might fall at any moment.

Even so, Delta remained very cheerful.

However, this state did not last long. A dark red light shone on Delta's body, and she transformed back into the form of the Proto-Beast, falling from the sky.

Seeing this, Alpha skillfully unleashed a whirlwind, carrying Delta to Bai Qi's side.

"The Wind-type Low-level Lord form lasts for five minutes, so it still can't be used as a flying mount."

Bai Qi quickly recorded the duration of Delta's evolution on the electronic version in his hand. Looking at Delta, who was still excited, he sighed helplessly.

I was originally thinking that the Evolution Egg could force Protomon to evolve, and it did evolve, but it only lasted a little while before it regressed again.

Wind, Lightning, Fire, Electricity...

Anything involving energy changes failed to be preserved in Delta.

Delta couldn't even bend the egg of evolution, so he can be considered the straight man leader in the world of pet evolution.

In other words, he doesn't need to use complicated formulas like others. If some stubborn contestant were to throw in a bunch of high-end materials, they'd probably have nowhere to cry.

However, he didn't come away completely empty-handed.

Bai Qi patted Delta's head, carefully sensing the changes in the other person.

[Name]: Primordial Beast

【Attributes】: None

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 2, Level 3

[Skills]: Savage Charge (Intermediate - Perfect), Heart of Evolution (Advanced - Perfect)

[Energy Value]: 41000

[Status]: Can Evolve

"Aside from special types like time and space, and spirit, which we haven't tried yet, only the effects of materials without attributes have been retained."

Materials without attributes mostly only enhance basic racial stats such as strength, speed, and constitution. Except for Fighting-type pets, they are generally used as supplementary materials for pet evolution.

However, this is also the only material that Bai Qi has tried so far that can retain its effect on Delta.

The effect was that Delta's level was raised by four levels within two days, and its energy value was also increased significantly. It could now maintain an evolved state similar to Gale Wings, which is of the same bloodline level, for about five minutes.

This is the same as what he guessed when he chose the Proto-Beast.

As long as the base stats of the Protomon in its original state are increased, the duration of its evolved state can also be extended accordingly.

However, perhaps due to incomplete evolution, Delta, no matter what form it evolved into, failed to learn any skills other than its innate physical talent for flight.

Bai Qi patted Delta's head and said, "Until we're certain that special-type materials won't work on you either, let's train you as a Fighting-type pet for now."

Plurp plurp!

Although there was no contract yet, Delta was already a lord creature, so it understood Bai Qi's words. After affectionately nuzzling Bai Qi, it ran to the side and began practicing Savage Charge against a mountain wall.

Huh?

(Human, this guy doesn't seem very smart. Are you sure you want to contract it?)

Beta watched Delta repeatedly bang his head against the mountain wall and silently increased the distance between them.

They say idiocy is contagious, so I'd better stay away from him.

"It's alright. Delta may look a little weak right now, but with proper training, she won't be any worse than you. As for whether she's smart or not..."

Bai Qi pointed to himself and said, "As long as this beast tamer is clever enough, that's enough."

Wang Wang!

(Humans, you're becoming more and more shameless.)

Rumble...

Just then, the mountain wall suddenly collapsed, burying Delta, who had no time to dodge, with countless rubble. Before Bai Qi could send Alpha to rescue her, Delta crawled out of the rubble and chose another rock face to continue training.

It doesn't seem that weak...

Despite his own lair being destroyed, Nicholas showed no resentment. Instead, he moved closer to Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, can you leave this little guy with me? I promise I'll raise him to be plump and healthy."

chubby and fair-skinned?

Bai Qi glanced at Delta, who was completely black, and his eye twitched slightly.

Being fat is one thing, but being pale... are you trying to convert me to a different species?

Despite his complaints, Bai Qi still left Delta with Nicholas.

The Dragon Blood Grass in the Green Dragon Secret Realm is very helpful for strengthening physical constitution, and Delta's biggest problem right now is his energy level. It would be best if Nicholas were willing to help him maintain it.

"Let's go to the Tower of Relics and buy some non-attribute materials. While we're at it, let's ask if there's anything that can quickly boost our mental power."

……

Tower of Relics.

As Bai Qigang approached the entrance of the Tower of Sacred Relics, he saw Yi Xiaowei already waiting there.

Although the association's intranet allows for purchasing and home delivery, there are simply too many types of materials without attributes, and their effects are very similar. Therefore, Bai Qi directly contacted Yi Xiaowei and asked him to help him choose.

Everyone has their own expertise, and professional matters should be left to professionals. In any case, he would never admit that he was eyeing the discount that Yi Xiaowei mentioned.

Yi Xiaowei walked up to Bai Qi and said with a smile, "You've finally shown yourself. Zhou Yan and the others have been looking for you like crazy lately."

"Looking for me? I haven't been doing anything lately."

Bai Qi scratched his head, somewhat bewildered, and stopped thinking about it. Yi Xiaowei also didn't intend to continue the topic, saying, "I heard that you chose that unevolvable progenitor beast when I delivered supplies to Granny Fan a couple of days ago?"

"Um."

This Granny Fan looks so stern, but I never expected her to be such a blabbermouth.

You really can't judge a book by its cover...

Upon hearing Bai Qi's confirmation, Yi Xiaowei quickly advised, "Although it's not very fair to the little guy, I suggest you switch to another one. As long as there's no contract, Granny Fan allows the switch."

Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "Thank you, but I think it's fine, no need to change it."

Yi Xiaowei paused, then suddenly realized something and said, "The attribute-less material you asked me to find isn't for it, is it? Are you planning to train it into a fighting type?"

"Um, I guess so."

Although Delta can currently maintain its evolved form for a short period of time, apart from the passive talent that comes with the evolved form, it only has one skill: Savage Charge. It is indeed correct to call it a Fighting-type.

"Fighting type? I've never heard of anyone training Protomon to be a Fighting type before. You might actually be able to do it this way."

Those who choose to contract with Protomon are basically aiming for all sorts of fancy evolutions; what serious fighter would choose Protomon?

The two entered the Tower of Sacred Relics together, passed through the hall, and arrived at Yi Xiaowei's personal laboratory.

Contrary to Bai Qi's expectations of the eerie style of the black wizard, Yi Xiaowei's laboratory was surprisingly tidy.

Dissection area, culture area, testing area...

Each area has a clear division of labor and distinct boundaries, resembling the layout of a modern biological research laboratory.

"You told me before that you needed materials without any attributes, and I've already selected some for you. However, since you plan to train your Protomon to be a Fighting-type, you'll need to select some more."

Yi Xiaowei walked to the computer and quickly retrieved the information for the six materials.

【Name】: Thousand-Pound Ant Pliers

[Tier]: Epic

[Introduction]: The strongest part of the Thousand-Pound Ant, when combined with other materials, can enhance the power of your pet.

……

Yi Xiaowei said, "I understand the situation of that little guy. The ones I chose are basically just to improve his basic attributes, so they shouldn't trigger his evolution. But you still need to be careful when choosing the auxiliary materials."

Bai Qi nodded. Even fighting-type creatures have some elemental energy mixed in, which is one of the reasons why Bai Qi asked Yi Xiaowei to help him choose.

Bai Qi pointed to the six documents on the screen and said, "Give me one of each of these first. If you need more later, I'll contact you again."

Epic-grade materials are naturally expensive, but with the support of endorsement fees and core patents, Bai Qi's balance is barely acceptable.

Tens or twenty million is nothing, just a drop in the ocean...

As for the special types, they are basically legendary materials, which require the Tower Master's approval and cannot be bought even with money, so Bai Qi gave up on them.

"it is good."

Yi Xiaowei nodded, and after placing the order for Bai Qi, she brought up a new interface filled with various potions.

"There are no potions that directly boost mental strength like you mentioned. At most, they only provide a temporary boost, and those have significant side effects, so I don't really recommend them. Instead, I've picked out some potions that enhance the effects of meditation for you."

Yi Xiaowei pointed to a bottle of potion on the screen and said, "However, those of you participating in the training camp probably don't have much time for meditation, so I suggest you choose this Dream Potion."

"Just drink one bottle before bed and you can immerse yourself in dreams; the effect of boosting mental energy is two to three times that of normal meditation."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Two to three times the meditation effect—if this were combined with the bonus from overdrawing his physique with the Evolution Egg, wouldn't he be able to advance to the fourth rank in no time?

"However, this kind of thing shouldn't be taken too frequently, otherwise the effects can be too strong and cause hallucinations, which can also be harmful to the body."

Upon hearing Yi Xiaowei's words, Bai Qi's smile froze. He looked at the Dream Potion suspiciously and said, "Are you sure this isn't some kind of illegal drug?"

It can cause hallucinations and harm the body. Will drinking this kind of drug really not get you arrested?

Yi Xiaowei smiled upon hearing this and immediately explained, "Haha... the name is indeed a bit... well, but don't worry, the Dream Potion is made from Dream Vine flower powder. It only induces dreams; it's not a hallucinogenic drug."

Now that you mention it, it seems even weirder...

Bai Qi inwardly grumbled, but still followed Yi Xiaowei's advice and bought one as well.

Yi Xiaowei paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, potions and the like aren't a long-term solution. If you want to improve your mental strength in the long run, it's best to find a mental-type treasure."

"A spiritual Noble Phantasm?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this, but quickly realized what he meant.

So focused on taking drugs to boost his mental strength, he completely forgot about the existence of treasures.

"However, I mainly handle materials, and I'm not very familiar with Noble Phantasms. Besides, they're rare and hard to come by. If you want one, I can keep an eye out for you."

Although the Tower of Relics manages both resources and magical artifacts, there is a division of labor within it.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Unlike tonics like the Heavenly Water, which can lead to drug resistance if consumed in excess, this type of enhancement potion would be ideal if it were a Noble Phantasm with similar functionality.

It might even help with the second-stage evolution of runes.

Because it was located inside the Tower of Sacred Relics, the items Bai Qi ordered were delivered quickly. Bai Qi was eager to go back and try them out, so he didn't linger. He briefly asked Yi Xiaowei about the precautions and then left quickly.

"Bai Qi? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Yuan, who had just entered through the door, saw Bai Qi hurriedly leave and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm here to buy some materials."

Bai Qi looked up and saw that it was Xiao Yuan who had come. He was also somewhat surprised and said, "Xiao Yuan, you're here to buy materials too?"

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "The first month's assessment points have been released. I plan to exchange them for some resources to strengthen my pet beast."

"Have the points been distributed?"

Bai Qi was taken aback and asked, "Aren't you planning to save them up to exchange for legendary resources?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You really don't know anything?"

Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Bai Qi became even more confused. Xiao Yuan didn't waste any more words and directly revealed the ranking of points from the first assessment.

"Besides you, the rest of us only have a maximum of 1 points. It's obviously not very reliable to accumulate enough points to reach the legendary level. It's more reliable to compete for rankings."

"Moreover, I prefer to prioritize exchanging resources to improve my pet's strength. Although the improvement is a bit slower, it is more stable."

Bai Qi understood immediately. This was indeed in line with Xiao Yuan's consistent style: steady and methodical. After all, even if you obtained a legendary resource, you couldn't just use it casually.

The evolution recipes are completely different for different pets, and the auxiliary materials used are not ordinary. Even if you get them, you can't form combat power in a short time.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
