Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 228 I've Become a Legendary Second Generation Too?

Having resolved the issue of legendary resources, Bai Qi felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. After a moment's thought, he set off towards the Tower of Knowledge.

He certainly wasn't going to the daytime mech analysis team. That mech was so big; they probably hadn't even finished collecting the data on the outer shell runes yet. Going there now would just be a hindrance. He'd rather go to the Tower of Knowledge to look up some information first.

Since Zhao Futu and Lan Ke had already promised him that he could freely browse the information in the Tower of Knowledge, he couldn't afford to waste this opportunity.

Because Xiang Li wasn't there to guide him, Bai Qi underwent a thorough identity verification process before being allowed to enter the Tower of Knowledge Archives.

Unlike the new technology on the Tower of Relics, the Tower of Knowledge retains its original structure.

The archive is filled with neat rows of classic bookshelves, each filled with equally classic books, resembling a retro library.

"They're all paper books, aren't you worried about them getting damaged if not stored properly?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi muttered in confusion, "In this day and age, paper books still exist, but they are no longer the mainstream. After all, electronic reading devices are definitely more advantageous in terms of both storage security and reading convenience."

"This is the Tower of Knowledge, not a library. There is no possibility of books being damaged. These books are old enough to be your grandfather."

Just then, Lu Qing came out from behind a bookshelf with a book in her arms. Looking at Bai Qi, who looked surprised, she said, "The books here are all very precious. Remember to put them back where they belong after you're done reading."

After saying that, Lu Qing left the archives without waiting for Bai Qi's reply, carrying the books in her hands.

Was he just mocked by Lu Qing?

Bai Qi scratched his head, somewhat speechless. He was just trying to read a book and he still got roasted. His luck was truly unbelievable.

"Never mind, reading is more important."

Bai Qi shrugged, ignoring everything else, and began to examine the ancient archives.

Just as Lu Qing said, the bookshelves here are covered with ancient runes, and even the book covers are engraved with corresponding runes, faintly releasing special energy to protect these books.

"I could learn from runes that can extend shelf life; they might come in handy."

Bai Qi took out his tools and silently recorded the runes on the book before starting to search for the book he needed.

As the repository of all the association's materials, the books in the archive room are terrifying in both variety and quantity. It's only because there's a guide stone tablet at the entrance that Bai Qi really suspects he might get lost inside.

"The rune and history categories are open to me, but are the others still inaccessible?"

Bai Qi looked at the two runes that were lit up on the stone tablet and shrugged helplessly.

They really only intended for him to see information related to daytime mechs; he was even thinking of copying some illustrated guides or similar materials back with him.

Perhaps the reason there are no electronic products in the Tower of Knowledge is to prevent theft?

Bai Qi seemed to understand something, so he lit up the pattern representing the rune area. His body was immediately enveloped in a beam of light and he was teleported directly to the bookshelf in the rune area. Next to the bookshelf, there was also a stone tablet to help find books.

Bai Qijian randomly selected a book, and a light immediately shone on the stone tablet, and a book was teleported directly from the bookshelf to his front.

"Although there are no mechanical parts installed, the functionality is still quite good."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, picked up a book, sat down on the ground, and began to read it.

This book focuses on the analysis and application of fire runes. Although it is not as easy to understand as Luo Xiang's explanations, it is comprehensive and detailed, making it a solid foundation for learning.

Bai Qi flipped through several more books, all of which were the same. Without hesitation, he piled the books together and prepared to head to the history section.

There's too much and too much information about runes to read in a short time. Now that the history section is open, I'll look for information on demon runes.

Hmm, it would be best to also look into the information regarding the power of death.

As for these rune books, take them back and study them at your leisure.

Bai Qi pressed the button to go to the history section. The teleportation light enveloped him again, but the book in Bai Qi's hand disappeared at the same time and returned to the bookshelf.

"They won't let you take her away? How did they manage to get Lu Qing out to see anything?"

Bai Qi was speechless. He wasn't even allowed to bring anything outside; did they expect him to stay here indefinitely?

"Never mind, let's find information on the demons first."

Bai Qi arrived at the history section, found all the relevant books from the French imperial period, and then slowly began to read them.

Although it only covers the period of the French Emperor, there are still quite a few related books. Even with Bai Qi's current fourth-level physique and mental strength, he could only barely read a third of them, even with his neck aching.

However, Bai Qi still benefited greatly.

"I see. In a way, this Emperor of Law can be considered the patriarch of the mechanical system."

Bai Qi closed a book that recorded the runic puppets of the Fa Di era, feeling somewhat emotional.

If you replace the circuitry of the Mechanical system with rune structures and the energy source with energy stones, the only difference between the Mechanical and Rune systems will be the AI.

Oh wait, the mechanical system has now developed spirits and can be classified as a living species, while the rune golem, no matter how intelligent, is still just a tool.

Even so, this rune golem can indeed be considered the original version of the mechanical type.

"However, there's still no mention of data on the Demon type."

Bai Qi rubbed his temples. To avoid any mistakes, he had already read through the history of the Dharma Emperor more than a dozen times, but he had not seen any data related to demons or even fel energy.

On the contrary, he did see some records of the power of death, but they were only mentioned briefly and not in detail.

"Let's finish reading the rest first, and ask the teacher or Master Xiang when we have the chance."

Bai Qi put down the book in his hand and picked up another one from the side to continue reading.

"Hmm, is it about the unresolved issues concerning the Dharma Emperor?"

Bai Qi flipped through two pages and found that the book contained all sorts of strange and unusual stories.

All About Rune Golems and Primal Beasts

On the Possibility of the Dharma Emperor Being a Reincarnation of a Deity

Are the Empress's harem rune puppets or real people?

"..."

"What the hell is all this stuff? The Tower of Knowledge really does collect everything."

Bai Qi looked at the book in his hand, which seemed more like gossip than history, and sighed speechlessly. He was about to throw it aside when he suddenly noticed one of the records and kept the book.

"In the 36th year of the French Emperor's calendar, two meteorites fell from the sky. The area where they landed was half shrouded in green flames and half evaporated by white light. Humans and ferocious beasts all vanished without a trace. Later, the French Emperor himself came and took away the two meteorites, and nothing unusual happened afterward..."

"Green flames, white light... Could the two strange stones inside the Twin Sky Mechs have come from here?"

Bai Qi noted down the time when the Emperor obtained the two meteorites, and then found all the records about the Emperor in the nearby time period, especially the time when the Twin Sky Mech was created, and finally confirmed his guess.

"The demonic category really does seem to come from outer space~"

Bai Qi frowned slightly. Because of his identity as a transmigrator, he was certain that there was an outer world, but in his previous life it was just an ordinary technological world, which was incomparable to the demonic world.

A demon from outer space—that sounds like something to be feared.

Since the demons originated from outer space, there's probably no concrete information about them in the history section, so there's no point in keeping them here any longer.

Bai Qi closed the book, returned it to the bookshelf, and then began searching for books related to death.

However, this time, he failed to gain anything.

After all, unlike the demonic system, which has a general time frame, this spans a very long period of time.

"I'll ask the teacher next time I see them; maybe I'll understand then."

Bai Qi stood up, rubbed his slightly sore neck, and decided to return to the rune area to continue his studies.

His rune foundation is indeed average, so it's a good idea for him to take this opportunity to work on it.

Just then, a white light suddenly appeared beside Bai Qi, and Lu Qing suddenly appeared beside him.

"Bai Qi, your teacher is looking for you."

Lu Qing glanced at the messy pile of books next to Bai Qi, frowned slightly, and manipulated the stone tablet next to her, and the books were put back in their original places one by one.

"If you continue to treat books so carelessly, I will ask the teacher to recommend that you be disqualified from entering this place."

"Uh, okay."

Bai Qi sighed helplessly upon hearing this. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Besides, for a bookworm like Lu Qing, his behavior just now was indeed excessive.

After all, they don't care that these books aren't actually that easy to damage.

After putting away all the books, Lu Qing turned and left, while Bai Qi immediately followed, asking, "Lu Qing, what does the Blue Tower Master want with me?"

You'll find out when you get there.

Lu Qing pushed up her glasses, quickened her pace, and walked straight out of the archives.

"As expected, you really shouldn't mess with girls who wear glasses..."

Seeing this, Bai Qi shook his head, but still quickly followed after them.

If you contact them at this time, it's either related to the daytime mech, the second stage evolution of the runes, or something else entirely, it's about the Spirit Orb.

Bai Qi followed Lu Qing and soon arrived at Lan Ke's office.

But when he saw the man and woman in Lan Ke's office, his jaw almost dislocated.

"Mom and Dad! What are you doing here?!"

These two people were none other than Bai Qi's parents, who hadn't been home for a long time because of their research.

Weren't they supposed to be researchers from the conglomerate? How did they end up here?

Could it be that his identity as a researcher for the foundation is fake, and his parents are actually members of the association?

Why are they acting so secretive and mysterious? Could it be that they are some kind of reclusive, powerful family?

Hmm, it seems like the only people in the association with the surname Bai are from the teacher's family. Could it be that I am actually a member of the Bai family?

Is he also a second-generation legend?
