Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 285 Amber with the Illusory Pupil

Bai Qi took the confidentiality agreement and glanced at it briefly. He could tell from the wording that the Federation attached great importance to this item.

"Actually, the Federation has never stopped researching this kind of general-purpose mechanical weapon. Especially after you proposed the rune mechanical layout, Bai Qi, many people have started to conduct related research. It's just that I didn't expect you to be the first to do it."

Yi Yu smiled and said, "Actually, Bai Qi, you don't need to be nervous. This confidentiality agreement is just to prevent the worst-case scenario. Normally, it's not needed."

"Is that so..."

Bai Qi nodded, no longer dwelling on the issue of identity. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "In that case, does the producer of the runic mechanical weapon need to be changed?"

"I think it's too late to change it now, isn't it?"

Yi Yu smiled and said, "The Thirteenth Bureau has already signed a military supply agreement with the Wuhou Consortium. From now on, the production of rune-infused mechanical weapons will be handled by them."

"As for providing them to spirit masters, Director Wang's opinion is that it is possible, but there should be some restrictions on the destructive power of the weapons."

"By the way, Bai Qi, next time you have any research results, I hope you can contact the Federation or the Association first before making a decision. This will reduce a lot of our workload."

Hearing Yi Yu's words, Bai Qi coughed awkwardly twice and said sheepishly, "Then how about I report it first?"

"You actually have new research?"

President Qin, who had remained silent until now, could no longer sit still and asked, "Weren't you researching rune-infused mechanical weapons lately?"

"Wasn't that a week ago?"

President Qin: "..."

What about research projects that other people use years to complete, but you calculate them in weeks?

"President Qin, I think we should just lock Bai Qi up in the Sixth Tower and let him focus on his research. Beast taming and such are really not suitable for him."

Seeing Bai Qi's matter-of-fact attitude, Luo Xiang suddenly spoke up, glancing at the silent Yi Yu beside him, and said, "If all else fails, you can lock him up in the Thirteenth Bureau."

"I think it's okay."

President Qin wholeheartedly agreed. If these kinds of people were allowed to roam around freely, who knows when they would be kidnapped? It would be better to lock them up first.

Yes, this method works.

"Bai Qi, why don't you tell us what you've come up with this time?"

Seeing this, Yi Yu smiled and asked.

"It's nothing much, just some spirit orbs designed specifically for pets with different attributes. Theoretically, they can increase the probability of contracting a pet."

Bai Qi took out several spirit orbs of different colors and said, "Originally, I was just thinking of making them for fun, but since you mentioned them, I brought them out to ask."

"I see, it's like an improved version of the Spirit Orb."

Yi Yu took the Spirit Orb and examined it for a few moments, then said, "I think I understand. I'll report back to Director Wang later."

As he spoke, Yi Yu paused, took out a cell phone, and said, "This phone is connected through the Luo Wang network, which can minimize the risk of being overheard. If you have any new research or patent applications to apply for in the future, you can use this phone to contact me directly."

A wired connection, isn't that just a dedicated telephone line?

Wow, things are getting out of hand.

Bai Qi took the phone, played with it for a while, and then put it away.

"Alright, I think you've resolved most of your issues. Now, let's discuss the Spirit Master Battle Tournament."

President Qin coughed twice to draw everyone's attention and said, "The enthusiasm for battles among Spirit Masters is quite high right now, and it will probably rise to another level after this competition. The association's idea is that the Federation should introduce a law on battles between Spirit Masters and Beast Masters to avoid some unnecessary conflicts."

Yi Yu nodded and said, "Director Wang mentioned this matter to me before his departure. The draft has already..."

The two were engrossed in their discussion, while Bai Qi, who had little interest in such matters, found himself unconsciously becoming sleepy.

Indeed, learning is more fun...

"Epsilon, continue casting dreams upon me."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Qi, who was already dozing off, was suddenly awakened by the sound of a chair being pushed back. He looked up and was surprised to find that the sun was almost setting, while Chairman Qin and Yi Yu had clearly just finished.

Holy crap, how come he remembers it was morning when he arrived?

Bai Qi rubbed his stomach, which was clearly starting to protest, and said, "Um, can I go now?"

"Get lost, you're of no use at all."

President Qin rolled his eyes in annoyance, but there was no trace of disdain on his face.

Having produced so many research results in a row, even Bai Qi, who is now a fourth-level beast tamer, would definitely not be able to keep up. Therefore, the three of them selectively ignored Bai Qi during their discussion, allowing him to rest for a while.

"Alright, I'll be going now?"

Having studied for a long time in the dream, Bai Qi was now feeling refreshed and ready to go back and put his knowledge into practice.

However, before that, he needed to go back and give this legendary resource to Beta.

In the three weeks since he returned to Gusu City, he has been harassed by Beta countless times and needs to shut it up as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi quickened his pace and left in a hurry.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. I apologize for disturbing you both."

Seeing Bai Qi leave, Yi Yu didn't linger any longer and said, "I still have some things to take care of. I will be there on time for the Spirit Master Battle."

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Minister Yi."

President Qin nodded, stood up and saw Yi Yu out of the conference room, then took Luo Xiang back to his office.

"Headquarters sent you here specifically, surely it wasn't just for the Spirit Master battles?"

Upon hearing Chairman Qin's question, Luo Xiang shrugged and laughed, "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Chairman Qin."

"Several heritage-type secret realms have recently appeared in the west. Although we haven't had time to verify their authenticity, several conglomerates there have already set off. Bai Chuanqi also believes they are highly credible, so the guild leader asked me to bring Bai Qi along to try our luck."

"A legacy-type secret realm? Is it for humans or...?"

President Qin frowned slightly upon hearing this, but upon seeing the smile on Luo Xiang's face, he immediately understood.

"Do you know what kind of creature's legacy realm this is?"

Luo Xiang shook his head and said, "It's not certain yet, but based on the information that has been transmitted back, it could be a secret realm for the inheritance of mythical creatures."

"Mythical creatures..."

President Qin nodded and said, "No wonder headquarters wanted you to go there. But isn't it a bit too early for Bai Qi to enter the Mythical Realm at his current level?"

"Inheritance-type secret realms are not as dangerous; comparatively, the outside world is more troublesome."

Luo Xiang smiled enigmatically and said, "Actually, Bai Qi might be more suitable than us. After all, he's a young man, and it's understandable if he does something reckless or outrageous."

"I see."

President Qin nodded, his face serious, and said, "But you'd better keep a close eye on Bai Qi for me, otherwise you'll regret it if something really happens."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Bai Qi. If anything were to happen, we still have Bai Chuanqi, right?"

"I wasn't talking about Bai Qi..."

"I see……"

……

Secret base.

Under Beta's expectant gaze, Bai Qi opened the metal box given to him by Yi Yu, and a golden amber resembling an eye appeared before the man and his four pets.

Huh?

(This is a legendary resource? It looks almost identical to candy made with gamma.)

Beta leaned forward and sniffed, clearly somewhat disappointed.

Crackling.

(Boss, this amber seems to be some kind of seal; the pupil inside is the real thing.)

Bai Qi nodded. Given his current relationship with the Thirteenth Bureau, there was absolutely no need for them to tamper with this matter.

After all, back when he was just a lowly second-tier beast tamer, the Thirteenth Bureau was already willing to use legendary resources like crystal dragon bones, so this amber must be even rarer.

Bai Qi searched the metal box and found the description of the amber underneath.

【Name】：Virtual Pupil Amber

[Rank]: Legendary

[Introduction]: Mental type, said to come from the three-eyed civilization before humans. This third eye is the source of power for the creatures of the three-eyed civilization, and their abilities are not all the same.

Three-eyed civilization?

So this thing is an antique?

Hmm, it shouldn't be past its expiration date, right?

Bai Qi looked at the amber with some suspicion, while Shuke, who was standing to the side, had already found relevant records of the Three-Eyed Civilization.

"According to records, the Three-Eyed Civilization was actually somewhat related to humans, but because no one has shown similar talents in thousands of years, not many people believe this claim."

"But one thing is certain: the creatures of the Three-Eyed Civilization are very skilled in mental attacks, so this thing should be fine."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this, handed the Amber Eye to the husky, and said, "So, do you want to eat it? If not, I'll save it for someone else."

Awooo!

(Eat, why aren't you eating!)

Perhaps worried that Bai Qi would actually hand over the Void Pupil Amber to other beasts, Beta swallowed the amber before Bai Qi could react.

"You idiot, at least let me get ready first."

Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly activated the Evolution Egg, while Gamma skillfully placed its tentacles on him and began to supply him with energy.

However, Bai Qi did not expend much energy this time. Judging from Alpha's experience, he obviously failed to break through to the Monarch level.

"Upgrading to the Monarch level is indeed not that easy..."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, trying to console himself, but he still felt a little regretful.

It's an antique treasure, after all. I thought it would have some special effects, but it turns out he was overthinking it.

Come to think of it, Alpha was able to evolve into a monarch-level being so early not only because of legendary resources, but also because of the power of death. It won't be easy to replicate that.
