Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 242 The Popularization of Spirit Orbs

"Isn't Old Zhao worried about losing his profits by doing this?"

Looking at the rewards that originally belonged to the top three on the special training points leaderboard, Bai Qi couldn't help but ask Xiao Yuan about them.

"This was expected. The joint competition is co-organized by the association and the Thirteenth Bureau, and the assessment and rewards are also the responsibility of the organizer. But whether you can get them depends on your performance."

Xiao Yuan shrugged, showing no concern whatsoever, clearly having already heard about it.

"So, you're saying that the initial rankings were just a way to fool us?"

Bai Qi glanced at Zhao Futu speechlessly. Only the top three rewards on the leaderboard were somewhat worthwhile. If he couldn't get them, all his efforts would have been in vain.

"I don't care, I won't get the rewards for being in the top three on the leaderboard anyway, so it doesn't make a difference."

Bai Yuxiao looked completely unmotivated and said, "I just need to get a passing grade to satisfy my dad. As for rewards or anything like that, ha~"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Gu Shan, Ran Xu, Qiao Li, and the other third-tier beast tamers all nodded in agreement.

Putting aside the situation on the Thirteenth Bureau side, their few prodigies have already taken up almost all of the top ten spots. What they couldn't get anyway, it doesn't matter who gets it.

Perhaps sensing the situation of the trainees, Zhao Futu suddenly announced another rule.

"The following is a rule for our special training students. This competition is also the assessment for the second stage of the special training. The association will give you points based on your performance. The requirements are not high. Whether it is theory or practice, as long as your ranking surpasses that of a Beastmaster from the Thirteenth Bureau, you will receive 2000 points, and so on."

Upon hearing Zhao Futu's words, the students who had been somewhat indifferent suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, while Bai Qi almost transformed into a battle maniac and started a group fight on the spot.

Two thousand each, and it seems like nearly fifty have come from the thirteenth round, which means they're heading straight for one hundred thousand.

One hundred thousand points means he can exchange for a legendary resource.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi felt a surge of excitement and couldn't wait to start the competition right now.

Seeing the sudden burst of fighting spirit from the association, the beast tamers of the Thirteenth Bureau looked at each other in bewilderment, but they showed no intention of backing down and fought back with the same high morale.

Seeing this, Wang Jian smiled and said, "In that case, let's do the same for the Thirteenth Bureau."

"Understood."

Yi Yu seemed to have anticipated this, looking down at the Beastmasters of the Thirteen Bureaus, and said, "Just as we planned, understand?"

"clear!"

Wang Huai and the others responded loudly, their military training giving them a powerful aura that seemed to overwhelm the association's side.

"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone from the Thirteenth Bureau, go back and get some rest. We've prepared guest rooms, and we'll begin the official competition tomorrow."

Wang Jian nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Zhao."

"Hey, isn't the competition today?"

Seeing that he had to wait another day, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After all that passion he was just now, does he really want to wait another day?

Just as Bai Qi was silently complaining, Zhao Futu and Wang Jian walked towards him together.

"Bai Qi, would you mind chatting with this old man for a bit?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, but after seeing Zhao Futu standing to the side and Yi Yu following behind the two, he immediately understood.

It's time to discuss the Spirit Orb.

"Of course I'm willing."

Bai Qi nodded, and then the scene before his eyes flashed, and he found himself directly inside the Tower of Decisions.

As a legendary space-type beast tamer, coupled with the authority of the Tower Master of the Decision Tower, teleportation within the six towers is practically just a matter of Zhao Futu's thought.

You'd better be careful what you say and do in the Six Towers area from now on, because Zhao Futu might suddenly appear next to you.

Bai Qi was secretly alarmed, while Zhao Futu went straight to the point, saying, "Bai Qi, take out your latest research on the Spirit Control Orb and show it to Director Wang."

"Oh? Only a few days have passed, Bai Qi, and you've already made some modifications to the Spirit Orb?"

Wang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Could you let this old man take a look?"

"sure."

Bai Qi took out a bronze-colored spirit-controlling ball and handed it to Wang Jian. Wang Jian glanced at it a few times and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"So this is the runic mechanical layout you discovered, Bai Qi? It's quite interesting."

"Slave contracts, mental energy storage devices, communication runes, hmm, and it seems there are also confusion runes?"

Holy crap, he figured out the whole structure after just a few glances?

Bai Qi looked at Wang Jian with some surprise. In the past two weeks, in addition to cramming on the basics of runes, he had also not neglected the improvement of the Spirit Control Ball. In addition to optimizing the structure again, he also added some confusing runes, with the aim of reducing the resistance of the target pet.

Therefore, Bai Qi even assigned a level to this Spirit Orb, and the specific level was based entirely on the Evolution Egg.

"Although Director Wang is just an ordinary person, he was one of the earliest mecha pilots. The initial draft of the Morning Star in Mechanical Legend was designed by Director Wang."

The original designer of Morning Star?

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Senior, I must cultivate this relationship.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm too old, I don't have the creativity of young people anymore."

Wang Jian shook his head, returned the bronze ball to Bai Qi, and said, "I have already considered the matter of the Spirit Control Ball. It is indeed worth promoting widely. Originally, I planned to wait until I met with Bai Qi before trying to improve the Spirit Control Ball. But now it seems that the technology is already very mature, so there is no need to waste time."

"However, to prevent Beast Tamers from misusing the Spirit Orb and affecting the Contract Slot, each Spirit Orb must be produced by the Federation and is always under the Federation's supervision."

"I agree with that. The effect of the Spirit Orb on Beast Tamers is still unknown, and there are currently no further means of evolution and enhancement, so it still needs to be properly managed."

Zhao Futu agreed, saying, "Furthermore, it would be best to add some restrictions to the Spirit Control Orb."

"I'll listen to both of you."

Bai Qi had no objection to this. The widespread adoption of Spirit Orbs would definitely depend on the Federation, so they could do whatever they wanted with the restrictions.

"Restrictions are easy to talk about. Just add serial numbers and locators during production, and let the network monitor them in real time."

Wang Jian said, "However, the problem that needs to be solved right now is the placement of the pets contracted with the Spirit Orb."

Zhao Futu agreed wholeheartedly. The pet beasts under the Spirit Control Ball Contract are not as powerful as those under the Curse Contract. The contractor's control over the pet beasts is not as strong, and if they are not properly managed, it can easily lead to chaos.

"Hmm, I have actually thought about that."

Hearing their conversation, Bai Qi silently raised his hand and said, "Before the Spirit Orb can effectively control the behavior of pets, the Federation can designate a batch of contracted pets, such as those that are relatively friendly to humans, and contract them on the spot when the Spirit Orb is distributed. As for those contracted elsewhere later, they also need to report to the designated location."

"As for the issue of pet care, those whose circumstances allow can raise them themselves. If not, breeding centers can be set up in each city to specifically care for these pets contracted by the Spirit Orb."

"Restrictions? That's simple. Just set a limit on how many Spirit Orbs each person can carry. For example, each person can carry a maximum of six Spirit Orbs. Those that exceed this limit will be teleported to a designated breeding ground. The Luo Net should be able to do that."

Bai Qi rambled on and on, but then noticed that Zhao Futu and the others were all silently watching him. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "But these are all just my own wild ideas. The specific implementation is up to you two."

No, I think you make a lot of sense.

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "In the early stages of pet management, screening is indeed necessary. We'll consider other options once the control structure of the Spirit Control Orb is perfected."

At this point, Wang Jian looked at Zhao Futu and said, "This is quite a task, and we may have to trouble your association."

"No problem, it's all for the Federation."

The two exchanged a smile, clearly indicating that they had reached a cooperation agreement.

The federal government is responsible for production and regulation, while the association is responsible for distribution and pet supply. This is definitely a win-win situation for both parties.

"As for the breeding farm, the Federation alone is under some pressure. We can arrange a tender later, and I think those conglomerates would be very interested."

"A tender?"

Bai Qi's ears twitched, and he immediately said, "If it's a conglomerate, I do have a recommendation."

"Oh?"

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Bai Qi, you must be referring to the Wuhou Consortium, right? Although it's a newly established consortium, it has opened many pet breeding farms in various places. It's worth considering."

Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, Bai Qi nodded repeatedly.

After all, Zhuge Chen and he were old friends, and the Zhuge family had helped him a lot. Now that there were benefits to be had, Bai Qi would naturally not forget the Zhuge family.

"Then the matter of the Spirit Orb is settled for now. I will arrange for someone to come and find you, Bai Qi, to learn about the production of the Spirit Orb immediately."

Wang Jian looked at Bai Qi and smiled, "Congratulations, Bai Qi, you're about to get another core patent."

Bai Qi grinned upon hearing this. It was indeed an accident that the rune mechanical structure could become a core patent, but Bai Qi had expected the Spirit Orb.

Moreover, judging from the federal government's intentions, it is clear that they plan to widely implement this technology, and as the owner of the core patent, he is sure to benefit greatly.

Ah, I'm finally about to achieve financial freedom.

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Wang Jian and Zhao Futu smiled slightly and didn't mind.

"Then, Yi Yu, you should also fulfill your promise from the last time in the Dharma Emperor's Secret Realm."

Upon hearing Wang Jian's words, Yi Yu nodded, took out three metal plates that were encrypted in layers, and said, "These are three seventh-tier mechanical technologies. According to our regulations, you can choose one of them. As for the legendary resources, I will arrange for someone to deliver them as soon as you have specified them."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this, and instead of bothering to select legendary resources, he began to look with great interest at the three seventh-tier technologies in front of him.

Mastering seventh-tier technology is every mecha pilot's dream.

Bai Qi took the three metal plates and saw that the names were clearly marked on them.

Armed Branch: Terminal Materials Science

Energy Branch: Mechanical Spark

Manipulation Branch: Quantum Mind Field

"That's it? What about the core annihilation weapon? What about the spatial teleportation technology?"
