Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 238 Group Attack

"Is get out of class over already? Perfect, Acha, I need to do an experiment with you. Bring your Thunder Rat with you."

Seeing Bai Qiucha, Xiao Yuan, and the others gathered at the entrance of the assembly hall, Bai Qi realized that he had spent another whole day in the secret realm.

"Thunder Rat? I understand."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Qiucha immediately understood. She released the Thunder Rat from the Bone Dragon Secret Realm, held it in her arms, and headed straight for Bai Qi.

"Wait a minute, Bai Qi, can you stop thinking only about Brother Cha when you get something in return? At least leave some for us too."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Bai Yuxiao immediately blocked their way. Bai Qi, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, "I don't mind getting you a Spirit Orb too, but you'd better convince your teacher first and be prepared to lose a contract slot."

"Uncle? Uh, never mind then."

Seeing Bai Qi bring up Bai Heguang, Bai Yuxiao immediately backed down and refused to mention asking for any benefits. Xiao Yuan, who was somewhat familiar with Bai Qi's current situation, asked curiously, "Bai Qi, didn't you officially join the analysis team? How come you still have time to study other things?"

Bai Qi said, "I gained some insights from the analysis group, so I quickly asked Acha to test the results."

Strictly speaking, his inspiration actually came from Lu Qing's mechanical girl. After finishing the experiment here, he had to hurry back, otherwise he would have a hard time explaining it to Lan Ke.

"Is that so..."

Xiao Yuan understood and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan paused, then smiled and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot to congratulate you on obtaining another core patent. As far as I know, you are the first person in the Federation to own two core patents."

"Core patents? Two of them?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Bai Yuxiao was immediately astonished, staring at Bai Qi as if he were a monster, and said, "Bai Qi, what's wrong with your brain? You're so good at training your pets, yet you still have time to research patents?"

"Um, it's alright."

Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. Luckily, he hadn't told him that the Spirit Control Ball might also become a core patent, or this guy would probably go crazy.

"I suddenly feel so stupid..."

Seeing Bai Qi frankly admit it, Bai Yuxiao suddenly became extremely dejected, and many others shared the same feeling.

For example, Gushan, for example, Zhou Yan...

"Well, I'll be going now."

Seeing the group suddenly become dejected, Bai Qi was puzzled and immediately called Bai Qiucha to head towards the association's public training ground.

"Bai Qi, you asked me to bring the Thunder Rat, is it about the Spirit Orb?"

"That's right, I modified the structure of the Spirit Orb and wanted to test its effects with you."

Bai Qi took out a brand-new version of the Spirit Orb and handed it to Bai Qiucha, saying, "Use this Spirit Orb to form a contract again."

"it is good."

Bai Qiucha nodded, took the Spirit Orb, and skillfully began to infuse it with her spiritual power.

"Has the Spirit Orb's spiritual energy storage capacity increased?"

Even after injecting a large amount of spiritual energy, Bai Qiucha still did not feel any upper limit, which surprised her.

Isn't it said that runes and machines are difficult to coordinate, so the contract cap cannot be increased for the time being?

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's right, but Thunder Rat is already quite familiar with you, so it's fine if it's not fully charged."

Contracting a pet with the Spirit Orb consumes stored spiritual energy. This is fine for unfamiliar pets, but for cases like Bai Qiucha and Thunder Rat, it's just a formality and there's no need to fully charge the energy.

"it is good."

Bai Qiucha nodded upon hearing this, picked up the Spirit Ball and gently tapped the Thunder Rat on the head. A brand new rune suddenly appeared and was quickly imprinted on the Thunder Rat. At that moment, another voice appeared in Bai Qiucha's mind.

"It's you, Thunder Rat?"

Hearing the equally curious Thunder Rat ask her the same question, Bai Qiucha's face showed a look of surprise again.

Although the Spirit Ball allowed him to connect with Thunder Rat, he couldn't understand Thunder Rat's words and was only guessing at Thunder Rat's behavior based on that faint connection.

Now, he could clearly sense Thunder Rat's thoughts, and Thunder Rat felt the same way.

"Acha, can you communicate normally with the Thunder Rat now? Like with the Bone Dragon?"

Seeing Bai Qiucha's appearance, Bai Qi knew that his design had been successful, but out of caution, he still asked one more question.

"That's right, although it's not as clear as the Bone Dragon's, I can definitely understand what the Thunder Rat is saying."

Bai Qiucha's eyes lit up as she asked, "Bai Qi, how did you do that? Did you force a contract outside of your contractual position?"

"How is that possible?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "The contract is still the same as before, but I have strengthened the communication structure. Apart from that, the binding force of the contract is not as strong as before."

"Has the binding force weakened?"

Bai Qi patted Bai Qiucha on the shoulder and said, "That's right, so you'd better maintain your goodwill with the Thunder Rat, otherwise I won't be responsible if he runs away one day."

"I see."

Bai Qiucha nodded, gently patted the Thunder Rat's head, and was about to say something sentimental when the Thunder Rat, as if startled, suddenly released a strong electric current, giving Bai Qiucha a free haircut.

Strictly speaking, the current Spirit Orb is more like a bond. Although it can form a bond with a pet, how strong that bond is depends on whether the user is good at deceiving.

However, judging from Bai Qiucha's appearance, she doesn't seem to be very good at this.

"Here you go, this Spirit Orb. Remember to give me feedback later so I can make changes accordingly."

Seeing the man and the mouse staring at each other with wide eyes, Bai Qi didn't linger any longer and headed straight for the Tower of Knowledge.

The problem of communication between the Spirit Master's contract and the pet beast has been solved, but it seems that there is now another problem of the Spirit Master's attrition. This is only true for a fourth-level Beast Master like Bai Qiucha. If it were an ordinary person, wouldn't they be struck dead by the Thunder Rat in no time?

Tsk, I'll have to talk to the Thirteenth Bureau and the Chairman later. Before popularizing the Spirit Ball, they need to sign a waiver of liability, otherwise the compensation alone will bankrupt him.

……

The Tower of Knowledge.

As Bai Qi stepped through the gate, he saw Lu Qing walking towards him.

"Bai Qi, what have you been doing all day?"

Seeing Bai Qi finally appear, Lu Qing frowned slightly.

The teacher asked her to learn Bai Qi's way of thinking. Although she was reluctant, she had to admit that Bai Qi was indeed more adaptable than her.

She had finally convinced herself to study with Bai Qi, only to be stood up by him for the entire day. How could she not be angry?

"It's nothing, I just solved a problem inspired by your Machine-Doll."

After figuring out the mechanization of the rune structure, Bai Qi successfully tackled several difficult problems, which was quite a significant achievement. As a result, Bai Qi was in a good mood and found Lu Qing more agreeable.

"Inspired by the Machine-Doll?"

Lu Qing was even more puzzled upon hearing this. She had already thoroughly studied the runes on the Mecha Girl and found nothing particularly special about them. Especially compared to the daytime mecha, the Mecha Girl, which was also a support-type mecha, seemed to have many flaws.

"You haven't studied mechanics, so I can't explain it clearly in a short time. I'll explain it to you another day when I have time."

Bai Qi nodded, bypassed Lu Qing, and ran straight to the analysis team.

Although he thought he had solved the problem of the conflict between runes and mechanical operation, the analysis of the mech during the day still hadn't started, so he still had to get involved no matter what.

Furthermore, he was also curious about the method by which the multi-rune structure system of the daytime mechs could be used in parallel and flexibly switched.

After all, the mechs didn't use the same mechanical layout as I did during the day.

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Lu Qing, who had originally planned to report the situation to Lan Ke, changed her mind and followed Bai Qi to the analysis team.

Just like when Bai Qi left, Chairman Qin and Tower Master Xiao were still arguing. However, the content of their argument was no longer just theory. Instead, they began to list examples one by one, trying to persuade each other with practical situations.

Seeing the two still looking energetic, Bai Qi's eye twitched slightly, and he asked, "These two, have they been arguing all day?"

"Strictly speaking, these two have been arguing for three days straight."

Lu Qing adjusted her glasses and said, "I suggest you stop these two first, otherwise it will be difficult for you to continue your research."

"I don't think it will have any impact."

Bai Qi glanced at the many rune masters around him who were engrossed in their research and said, "Let them argue for a couple more days. President Qin is a master-level expert; he won't have the stamina for long."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chairman Qin, who had been engrossed in arguing with Xiao Ding, twitched his ears, immediately stopped, turned to look at Bai Qi, and said, "You brat, talking bad about me behind my back again, are you asking for a beating?!"

Bai Qi scratched his head, looked at Chairman Qin who seemed ready to vent his anger on him, and said, "Then I'll say it to your face later?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Qin was about to lash out, but his anger dissipated when he saw Bai Qi's feigned innocence.

"Forget it, it's too embarrassing to argue in front of the younger generation. Let's talk about our issues later."

"it is good."

Xiao Ding also realized his loss of composure and instantly regained his usual calm. He said to Bai Qi, "The initial analysis of the mecha during the day is basically complete. The subsequent steps will be more difficult, so don't put too much pressure on yourselves. Just observe from the sidelines, otherwise you may get stressed."

"I understand, thank you, Tower Master Xiao."

Lu Qing nodded obediently. Xiao Ding's words were not meant to look down on them. One of the reasons why the rune system had not become widespread was that it was not suitable for forced memorization, otherwise it could easily cause mental trauma.

Simply put, looking at runes too much will give you trypophobia, even if you don't already have it.

"See, it's all done."

Seeing that the two had given up, Bai Qi smiled smugly and then continued to study the rune structure of his daytime mech.

Although the analysis team already had a complete holographic projection, Bai Qi still preferred to think about it himself, because only by experiencing it firsthand could he gain a deeper understanding.

After memorizing all the blueprints, Bai Qi roughly simulated a set of rune structures in his mind, but at the same time, he also discovered some problems.

"Hmm? Why are there several abandoned rune paths here?"
