Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 270 Not enough time!

"Um, I'll try my best."

Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless at the thought that he had unknowingly become a tool in the power struggle among the big shots, but considering that he could consult Professor Chu anytime, anywhere, he didn't care.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi's eyes darted around, and his face was full of fawning smiles. He said, "Perfect timing, Professor Chu. I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Do you teach Ultimate Engineering? If not, Infinite Materials Science and Space Technology will do too."

Professor Chu: "..."

After a long while, Professor Chu finally came to his senses and said, "You've already started getting involved with these things, kid?"

Bai Qi chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was just thinking of starting to learn in advance; there's no harm in learning more."

Professor Chu chuckled upon hearing this and said, "You don't need to think about those. Seventh-order mechanical technology is basically controlled by the Federation. Unless you are a mechanic recognized by the Federation, no one else has the right to learn it."

"Is that really how it is?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi smacked his lips. Seventh-order mechanical technology was the foundation of the mechanical system's strength. For him to think he could get something for nothing was indeed a bit too much.

"However, if you can come up with a core patent for mechanical engineering, I can help you apply for it so you can choose to study either ultimate engineering or endless materials science."

"real?"

Upon hearing Professor Chu's words, Bai Qi's eyes lit up immediately.

As for the core patents of the Mechanical Engineering Department, the Spirit Control Ball definitely counts. In other words, once the patent is approved, he can exchange knowledge with Professor Chu.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi suddenly had a different idea and said, "What if I could make two of them? Could I exchange them for two more?"

"Two doors?"

Professor Chu was somewhat surprised to see Bai Qi's confident demeanor.

The core patents of the Mechanical Engineering Department require a higher level of professional competence. It is already difficult to master even one, so for Bai Qi at his age to develop two is basically a pipe dream.

However, Professor Chu was unwilling to dampen Bai Qi's enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, "Sure, as long as you can get the core patent certificates, I'll get you not just two, but three!"

Upon hearing Professor Chu's words, Bai Qi grinned, his long-dormant research spirit igniting, revealing that he had already planned his future research project.

The Spirit Orb is already a done deal. As for the other one, it's naturally the issue of fusing mechanical weapons with flesh and blood creatures.

I'll ask my parents if the custom-made equipment has arrived yet. If we want to figure out a way to make it more widespread, we'll probably still need these things.

"I remember the Department of Necromancy contacted me a while ago, saying they wanted you to be an honorary lecturer, right?"

After chatting with Bai Qi for so long, Professor Chu finally reconnected with the outside world and brought up the matter of becoming a lecturer in the necromancy department.

"That's right, I came here today to ask about taking classes at both places."

Professor Chu nodded and said, "The class issue is easy to solve. You won't have too many classes in the Necromancer Department. Just go and attend a class whenever you have free time. As for our Mecha Weaponry Department, you'll have far fewer required courses in your second year. Just choose the electives that suit you."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this and stopped worrying about the coursework.

"Alright, this old man needs to continue his research, so I'm not going to waste any more time with you. Get lost."

After saying that, Professor Chu returned to his original position and resumed his research.

"These two really do look alike..."

Looking at Professor Chu's office, which was filled with various machines, Bai Qi couldn't help but think of Professor Dong's office. Although it was much tidier, the overall style was still very similar.

"Pah, pah, you actually have time to think about this kind of thing. Go talk to the necromancy department first, then go home and get a good night's rest."

Bai Qi patted his face and quickly went to the Necromancer's Department.

As Zhuge Chen said, the Necromancer Department is indeed quite lively. Although it has only been one year, the number of students has already exceeded the total number of students in some relatively unpopular departments.

"Is it really going to be a lecture for this many people?"

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Bai Qi had a bad feeling and immediately shook his head to banish the thought from his mind.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Bai Qi shook his head, asked a student for directions to the dean's office, and then hurried there.

Just then, Bai Qiucha suddenly appeared in front of Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, you're here? Perfect timing, Dad was just about to send me to find you, saves me the trouble of making the trip."

"The teacher is here too? Wasn't he supposed to go to the west?"

Bai Qi was puzzled by what he heard, but Bai Qiucha shrugged, looking completely used to it.

"That's normal. Ever since I was old enough to remember, my dad has been traveling all over the Federation. I'm used to it."

"All right."

Bai Qi smacked his lips. This title of Legendary is really troublesome. If he becomes a Legendary in the future, he must find a reason to hide away, otherwise life will be too boring.

The two went to the dean's office together, and when they pushed open the door, they saw Bai Heguang sitting at his desk, quickly flipping through a large pile of documents.

"You've arrived."

Upon seeing Bai Qi arrive, Bai Heguang put down the documents in his hand and said, "I've watched the video of the competition. You performed well. Being able to independently raise a monarch-level creature, you are among the best of your peers."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher."

Bai Qi grinned. Bai Heguang wasn't one of those teachers who liked to use encouragement to trick you into studying. If you heard praise from him, it was definitely the truth.

"You'd better keep an eye on the Borg family from now on. They might not actually harm you, but they could very well cause you some trouble."

Bai Heguang's gaze was solemn as he said, "I can't stay by your side forever, so you need to take good care of yourselves."

"I see."

Bai Qi's expression turned serious. Judging from Dean's previous attitude towards him, the Borg family was no different from the Vatican in the novels of his previous life. It was not impossible that they might purge him as a heretic if they ever lost their minds.

"But you don't need to worry too much. Gusu City is located in the south of the Federation. With Chairman Qin here, the Borg family won't come here to cause you trouble. Just focus on your studies from now on."

At this point, Bai Heguang handed a document to Bai Qi and said, "This is your honorary lecturer employment contract. Sign it, and you can officially start teaching tomorrow."

Upon hearing Bai Heguang bring up this matter, Bai Qi's face fell, and he said, "Teacher, can I refuse?"

What do you think?

Bai Heguang glanced at Bai Qi indifferently, and Bai Qi understood what Bai Heguang meant. He could only silently put the contract away.

"I know what you're worried about. You're already a fourth-tier beast tamer, fully qualified to be a lecturer."

Bai Heguang paused for a moment, then said, "Although I know you don't care about these comments from the outside world, there are some things that still need to be done. Perform well and shut them up completely."

"it is good."

Seeing that Bai Heguang had such high expectations of him, Bai Qi didn't say anything more.

"There's one more thing."

Bai Heguang had an unusually large number of things to do today. Although Bai Qi was a little puzzled, he did not interrupt and listened obediently.

"Recently, there have been many incidents of ferocious beasts causing trouble throughout the Federation, putting considerable pressure on the Association. Your main task in the third phase is to help the Association resolve these disturbances. Therefore, after completing your tasks at the academy, remember to visit the Association more often."

Why do I feel like he's going to follow the same path as Bai Heguang?

After hearing Bai Heguang's words, Bai Qi suddenly felt that his already limited time was even more insufficient.

If only it could split like a gamma...

"Alright, I need to go back to the west after I finish dealing with things here. You two go back first and train hard. I'll come back to check on your training progress at any time."

"Yes."

Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha nodded in unison, then turned and left the office.

"Phew~ This is the first time I've ever seen Dad talk so much. Bai Qi, you're really amazing."

Bai Qiucha looked at Bai Qi and smiled, "Oh no, should I call you Teacher Bai?"

Bai Qi's eye twitched slightly as he said, "Do you believe I'll start teaching runes in class and call your name every single time?"

Bai Qiucha's face stiffened upon hearing this, and she shrank back sheepishly.

Other things are fine, but he really doesn't like runes. He can let the basics go, but he knows that Bai Qi would never ask him about the basics.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm going back to rest now. See you tomorrow."

Bai Qi glanced at the darkening sky and then summoned Delta to fly home.

……

Although no one had lived there for a long time, Bai Qi's house was still very clean, without even a speck of dust, indicating that someone had just cleaned it.

"Could it be that Zhuge Chen sent people to clean up beforehand?"

Bai Qi looked around with some confusion, but without giving it much thought, he went straight to the bedroom.

"As expected, it's always the most comfortable place to be at home."

Bai Qi lay comfortably on the bed, stretched, but suddenly noticed a black box on the desk. He immediately sat up and picked up the black box.

"Son, are you surprised?"

The moment Bai Qi's fingers touched the black box, two holographic projections appeared in Bai Qi's room, namely Bai Yan and Luo Zhu.

He was still guessing who came home to clean, but now it seems it was his parents.

"Son, I wanted to spend more time with you, but the conglomerate is pressing us, so we have to go back now."

"However, we've left you a gift, remember to accept it~"

"When you come back this time, your parents will spend more time with you."

The holographic projection didn't last long, and it was clear that Bai Yan and Luo Zhu were in a real hurry, which Bai Qi understood.

He wouldn't believe the Jiuli Consortium wasn't in a hurry to revive the ancient species.

As for the gift his parents mentioned, Bai Qi knew what it was without even thinking.

The complete set of biochemical equipment he had the two of them help purchase has arrived...
