Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 218 Daytime Mecha Analysis Team

Bai Qi watched Granny Fan return to the wooden house before he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

To his surprise, the association was hiding an ancient Eastern dragon that should have been extinct.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Only the dragon race could suppress so many strange and unusual creatures.

To be honest, the oppressive aura of the Eastern dragon is truly immense.

"Nicholas, since you're out now, I'll take you around... Nicholas?"

Bai Qi looked at Nicholas and was shocked to find that Nicholas was cautiously retreating the way he came, muttering something under his breath.

"Eastern Wingless Dragon... Mom wasn't lying to me after all, the outside world is too dangerous, let's go back and hide..."

Upon hearing Nicholas's voice, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle, shattering Nicholas's last illusion. He said, "Don't run away. Granny Fan has already moved your secret realm here. Where can you possibly run to?"

"At worst, I'll just run away from home..."

Seeing Bai Qi's disdainful look, Nicholas immediately wanted to refute, but after thinking of the legendary creatures of the Six Towers Master, he immediately lost the idea.

He hasn't gone far yet, and he's already encountered so many legendary creatures. Heaven knows how many more there are elsewhere.

The thought that he might be ganged up on by a large group of legendary creatures in the future made Nicholas suddenly think that staying here might not be so bad.

Instead of risking running around everywhere, it wouldn't be bad to just stay here and help Grandma Fan grow vegetables, would it?

It doesn't matter where you plant it, it doesn't really matter.

And so, to Bai Qi's astonishment, Nicholas quickly composed himself, transforming from listless to energetic.

"Bai Qi, I saw on TV that Dongfang Long likes to eat vegetarian food? Do you know what kind of vegetarian food Granny Fan likes to eat? I want to prepare in advance."

Seeing Nicholas racking his brains, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

This guy actually overcame his fear of the Eastern dragon, and he suddenly understood why those sycophants in his previous life could always do amazing things.

Love can make people blind.

Watching Nicholas mutter to himself as he walked into the cabin, Bai Qi didn't bother arguing with him. He glanced at the sky, which was already getting dark, and headed straight for his dormitory.

I was originally planning to go to the Tower of Relics to exchange for that legendary resource, but most of the six towers are closed to the public at this time, so I'll have to go tomorrow.

"First, I'll go discuss increasing the variety of weapons with Shuke and Beta, then continue modifying the Spirit Orb. Ahh... so busy, so busy."

……

The next day, Bai Qi got up very early and went straight to the Tower of Sacred Relics.

The early bird catches the worm. Since President Zhao has allowed him to skip class for the next two days, he might as well get that legendary material as soon as possible.

As for points, just grab them!

"Bai Qi?"

As soon as Bai Qi entered the Six Towers area, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him. Turning around, he was surprised to find that it was Chairman Qin and Professor Dong, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"President Qin? Professor Dong? What brings you here?"

Bai Qi walked up to the two of them with some confusion and asked.

Professor Dong smiled and said, "Didn't you find a prototype of the Twin Sky Mech from the time of the French Emperor? The association temporarily set up an analysis team, and I was invited to participate in deciphering its rune structure."

"The Twin Sky Mech is a masterpiece that combines the pinnacle of rune civilization during the Fa Emperor era. If we can figure out its principles, it will definitely be a great help to the development of the Federation."

Bai Qi nodded, then looked at President Qin and said, "Then what are you doing here, President Qin? I didn't know you knew about runes?"

Upon hearing this, President Qin punched Bai Qi on the head in an annoyed tone, saying, "I'm the president of a branch of the Beast Tamer Association, for good measure. Do I need some reason to come to headquarters?!"

"No, no need."

Bai Qi shook his head dejectedly, while Chairman Qin continued to explain, "You found this daytime mech because you're famous for its support capabilities. I'm also considered one of the Federation's top support masters, so I was called over as well."

Bai Qi suddenly realized that the importance of Shuangtian's mecha was beyond his expectations. They had only brought it back yesterday, and today they had already brought Chairman Qin and Professor Dong here.

That makes sense. While a strong damage dealer is important, having a competent support can provide an even greater boost to the team.

"By the way, I saw your name on the list of mech analysts during the day. It seems you've made great progress in the training camp, Bai Qi."

Professor Dong looked at Bai Qi with some satisfaction. If Bai Qi's discovery of rune evolution was a coincidence, then being added to the research group for the daytime mecha was an affirmation of his professionalism.

"Tsk... It's all thanks to my discerning eye that this kid has talent; otherwise, he'd probably still be playing in the mud."

Upon hearing Professor Dong's praise, Chairman Qin proudly raised his head, clearly extremely proud of his actions in bringing Bai Qi into the association.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi smiled slightly and did not refute.

Indeed, if it weren't for Chairman Qin bringing him into the association and recommending him for the special training program, he would probably still be struggling to buy supplements, let alone all the gains he made later.

"By the way, I heard from Kazuhiro that you've made new research on rune evolution. Have you found a way to evolve a lord into a monarch-level rune?"

After a burst of self-praise, Chairman Qin finally remembered the important matter and asked a question.

"President, aren't you overestimating me...?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's eyes twitched involuntarily. If he could research and develop a direct evolution from Lord-level to Monarch-level, not only the Association, but the entire Federation would probably treat him like a treasure.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, President Qin was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly calmed down.

Since meeting Bai Qi, Bai Qi has given him so many surprises that he unconsciously regarded Bai Qi as an all-around genius. Now that he thinks about it, he was indeed overthinking it.

Bai Qi is still young after all; he'll probably only need a few more years to mature.

"However, I have figured out the method for the second-stage evolution of runes, but I haven't had time to conduct a physical experiment yet."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, President Qin froze on the spot, while Professor Dong, as one of the key members of the Rune Evolution Special Topic Group, was the first to react, asking, "Are you sure you're talking about second-stage evolution?"

Since that press conference, the Rune and Undead factions have invested a lot of manpower and resources in researching rune evolution, and have indeed found various bloodline-level evolution rune combinations.

However, they also discovered that undead creatures that evolved using runes found it difficult to continue evolving, and conventional evolution methods were no longer applicable.

Simply put, rune evolution is a one-time product. While it reduces the difficulty of the current evolution, subsequent evolutions become more complicated.

Therefore, the question of the subsequent evolution of rune-evolved creatures is now the top priority for the task force.

Judging from Bai Qi's words, has he broken through again?

"Bai Qi, are you sure you didn't mishear? The two-stage evolution method isn't two different evolutionary schemes; the differences between them are significant."

President Qin also realized what was happening and looked at Bai Qi again to confirm, but there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Bai Qi nodded and told them about his discoveries in the First Emperor's Secret Realm.

"Structured runes, slave contracts, mental energy storage devices..."

Professor Dong pondered for only a moment before confirming that Bai Qi's method was indeed feasible, but still asked somewhat cautiously, "Could I see your previous test subjects?"

Bai Qi nodded and summoned the six zombies, while Professor Dong immediately went over to examine them closely.

"I see. By using the runic structure of ancient slave contracts to connect the body and soul of the pet, and using spiritual power to trigger the soul's transformation, thereby driving the second stage of evolution, our previous research did indeed overlook this point."

Professor Dong nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "But what surprised me even more was that you were able to develop a mechanical device to store spiritual energy, a function that only magical artifacts possess."

Bai Qi smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm a student at the Mecha Weapons Academy, so I can't make my own magical artifacts."

Oh right, this guy is a student at the Mecha Weapons Academy, I almost forgot.

President Qin and Professor Dong exchanged glances. Bai Qi's achievements in breeding pets and runes far surpassed those of his peers, and even some of his seniors. They had actually forgotten that Bai Qi was just a student majoring in mechanical weapons.

"I'll share the research findings of the task force with you later. See if they help improve the second-stage evolution of runes."

Professor Dong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Once the experiment succeeds, Bai Qi, you will be a true rune master."

"Professor Dong, you flatter me. I just tinkered around with it and can hardly be considered a master."

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "President, Professor Dong, why don't you go ahead and do your work? I'll come find you later."

President Qin asked, "What's wrong? Are you going to class so early for the training camp?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, President Zhao compensated me with a legendary resource. I plan to exchange it first and strengthen my pet beast as soon as possible."

"Legendary resource?"

Upon hearing this, President Qin glanced at Bai Qi with some envy. Although he was much more senior than Bai Qi, legendary resources were not something one could simply acquire.

Young people these days are so lucky.

President Qin sighed and looked at Bai Qi. Upon seeing the four runes on the back of Bai Qi's hand, he exclaimed in surprise, "Bai Qi, you've already reached the fourth rank?"

"Yeah, it was just upgraded not long ago."

Bai Qi nodded, and upon receiving confirmation, President Qin immediately rushed forward, asking, "What did you contract with your fourth pet beast? It's not some kind of mutated species you got from somewhere, is it?"

"How is that possible? Mutants aren't like cabbages; you can't just make a contract with them whenever you want."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "The fourth pet is a lord-level creature specially gifted by the training program, and I have already received it."

"The one that was given as a gift? That's good."

President Qin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it was a gift from the association, that was fine. At least Granny Fan would give some advice, which was better than Bai Qi making a contract haphazardly on his own.

"By the way, what kind of pet did you contract?"

"Hmm, a proto-beast that cannot evolve."

"Bai Qi!!!"
