Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 301 Family Affection Makes People Blinded

Western Federal District.

Chongpeng City.

Jiuli Consortium.

"I'm sorry, Instructor Luo, for making a special detour to Chongpeng City."

Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang somewhat embarrassed. Originally, they planned to head straight to Nile City, the location of this mission, but after asking how far Nile City was from Chongpeng City, Luo Xiang changed course and went to Chongpeng City instead.

"It wasn't by special reason. I was just going to visit a friend who might also be going to Nile City, so we might be traveling together."

Luo Xiang smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now. I'll come find you later."

After saying that, Luo Xiang turned around, mounted the North Wind Eagle, and disappeared into the horizon.

"Wow, they really do just leave on a whim!"

Bai Qi watched Luo Xiang leave, and then noticed Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, dressed in research coats, walking out of the Jiuli Consortium's gate.

"My dear son, what brings you here?"

Luo Zhu was clearly pleasantly surprised by Bai Qi's arrival, and before Bai Qi could speak, she embraced him.

"My dear son, you look a bit tired. Did your dad record too much material for you? I told you, just give us the basics, why did you have to do the whole set?"

Luo Zhu glared at Bai Yan reproachfully, while Bai Yan looked completely innocent.

It seems that initially, Luo Zhu complained that he hadn't prepared enough materials and forced him to add the entire biology curriculum, and the result was...

Fine, he'll take the blame!

"Looks haggard? That shouldn't be the case."

Seeing Luo Zhu's distressed expression, Bai Qi scratched his head helplessly.

After reaching the fifth rank, his physical and mental abilities were greatly enhanced. In particular, after contracting a pet beast like Cordyceps, which was more focused on mental energy, his spirit became even more excited. Even if he didn't sleep for several days and nights, he wouldn't look haggard.

Does this mean your mother thinks you look haggard?

"Alright, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the company headquarters first."

Bai Yan glanced at the curious onlookers around him, then led the two into the Jiuli Consortium.

As a long-established conglomerate in the Federation, the interior decoration of the Jiuli Conglomerate also has a somewhat ancient style, but it is not like that of the Wuhou Conglomerate. The overall style is more rugged.

Bai Qi looked around curiously as he followed Bai Yan to an elevator where there were relatively few people.

"This is an area reserved for core personnel. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please wait a moment while I register you."

Bai Yan opened the screen in front of the elevator and began communicating with the management personnel, while Luo Zhu looked apologetic and said, "The research is not yet complete, so Mom and Dad cannot leave the Jiuli Consortium's controlled area for the time being. Otherwise, we could have a proper chat somewhere else."

"It's nothing. I was just passing through on my mission and stopped by to take a look. I'll be leaving soon."

Bai Qi shook his head and explained.

"On a mission?"

Luo Zhu was taken aback upon hearing this, and only then did she notice the five curse marks on the back of Bai Qi's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Son, you've reached level five?"

"Fifth tier?"

Luo Zhu's words immediately interrupted Bai Yan, who was operating the system. After turning her head to confirm, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

I initially thought my son would end up like them, lacking the talent for beast taming and only able to pursue research. I never expected him to become a fifth-tier beast tamer.

"Okay, I've already reported it. Let's go up."

Bai Yan turned off the screen and stepped into the elevator first, followed by Bai Qi and Luo Zhu. The three of them soon arrived at the upper floor of the Jiuli Consortium.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a wide variety of biological instruments, far more diverse and numerous than those at Bai Qi's place. However, despite the large research facility, there wasn't a single researcher in sight.

"This floor is your parents' independent research institute. There's no one else here except the two of us. Son, why don't you rest here for a while?"

Seemingly sensing Bai Qi's confusion, Luo Zhu offered an explanation, and Bai Qi once again realized the status of his parents within the Jiuli Consortium.

They used an entire floor as a research institute. What a treatment... tsk tsk.

Bai Qi followed the two into a spacious lounge, where Luo Zhu inquired about Bai Qi's current situation.

"Son, you just said you're going on a mission? Isn't it too dangerous for you to wander around alone?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "I'm not alone. Instructor Luo Xiang is with me, and the teacher should be there too."

"Bai Chuanqi is here too, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, while Bai Yan seemed to realize something and said, "With Legend Bai personally leading the mission, this one must be quite difficult?"

"I don't know. It's said to be a secret realm for the inheritance of some mythical creature. We'll find out when we get there."

Bai Qi shrugged nonchalantly and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Mom and Dad, how's your ancient species resurrection project going?"

"The initial embryos have been cultured, but it's still uncertain whether they will be successfully born."

Bai Yan shook his head and asked in return, "What about you? Do you know how to use those instruments?"

"Um... I guess you could say I know how to use it."

Bai Qi scratched his head. He was naturally good at operating the instruments, but Delta was the one who usually used them, and he had basically become an assistant.

"That's good. Once the first batch of embryos is successfully born, we'll apply for a long vacation to go back and spend some quality time with you, and maybe give you a little biology tutoring."

Bai Yan patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "By the way, how's your progenitor beast? Have you found out why it freely evolved and degenerated?"

"Not yet. Delta's situation is somewhat special; it may not be entirely a problem with his own bloodline."

Bai Qi said, "However, Delta has improved a lot recently and can now memorize six evolutionary forms. I came here this time to see if I can help Delta memorize a few more genes to enhance his strength."

Delta memory genes do not damage items, so Bai Qi is not worried about his parents violating any rules of the Jiuli Consortium.

"No problem. Mom already prepared it for you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu immediately patted her chest, then ran to the storage cabinet next to her, took out a sealed box, and brought it to Bai Qi.

"Here are the genes of ten ancient species that your parents selected. According to records, they are all extremely powerful in combat. Son, you can take them back and study them at your own pace."

"Um, is it really okay to take it with you?"

Hearing Luo Zhu's words, Bai Qi, who had originally only planned to take advantage of the gene and run away, felt a little embarrassed.

"It's alright. My parents have the absolute right to handle anything sent here. Besides, given the relationship between the Jiuli Consortium and the Association, it's just some genes, there won't be any problems."

Bai Yan smiled slightly. Having worked for the Jiuli Consortium for so many years, they naturally wouldn't do anything that violated the rules. Since they were going to bring it out, it must have been all arranged.

"Oh, I see. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately stopped being coy and took the sealed box from Luo Zhu's hands, storing it in the secret realm base.

"Son, this is your first time visiting your parents' workplace. Let me show you around!"

Luo Zhu was clearly overjoyed to see her son again, and she pulled Bai Qi along as they began to wander around the research lab.

"That was Mom and Dad's lounge. This is the dining room; you can order whatever you want. This is the gene extraction room..."

Luo Zhu spoke fluently and quickly led Bai Qi on a tour, eventually arriving at the largest room in the entire research lab.

"A cultivation room? Could this be where ancient embryos are cultured?"

Bai Qi looked at the nameplate on the room door and asked.

"That's right, but the one Mom and Dad have here is just a small one, which is convenient for us to observe and collect data. The large incubation room is downstairs, but we can't take you there."

Bai Yan nodded and said, "But looking around here is the same."

"Can I watch it?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Although Delta could also transform into an ancient species, the sensory experience was still quite different.

"It's just a look, it's not a big deal."

Bai Yan smiled, then entered the password to open the door to the incubation room.

Upon entering the incubation room, one sees ten nest-like incubators, each containing ten ancient creature eggs of varying sizes and colors. On a large screen beside them, the vital signs of each egg are displayed.

"They actually succeeded in cultivating it..."

Looking at the stable data of the egg on the screen, Bai Qi felt even more admiration for his parents.

Judging from this trend, ancient creatures that should have disappeared into the annals of time may really be about to return to the world.

"Huh, what's with this egg?"

Bai Qi looked around and suddenly noticed an open metal box in a corner, inside which was an ancient creature egg.

"This is a primitive embryo that was transported out of the secret realm. Unfortunately, it has completely lost its vitality. Dad originally planned to send it to have its genes extracted and recultured, but he heard that you were coming, so he didn't have time to put it away properly."

As he spoke, Bai Yan prepared to put the egg away.

"Um, Dad, can I have this egg?"

Seeing the sudden increase in the progress of the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment before finally asking a question.

"for you?"

Bai Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "You're planning to give it to Delta? It's not impossible, but your parents have already prepared similar genes for you, so there's no point in getting duplicates, right?"

"No, I just wanted to take a look."

Bai Qi shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Besides, I always feel that this embryo isn't quite dead yet?"

"Not quite dead?"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu exchanged bewildered glances.

They've already tested it with the Jiuli Consortium's most advanced equipment, and the embryo has been completely fossilized. It's useless except for extracting genes. Bai Qi's claim that it's not completely dead is just wild speculation.

However, after exchanging a glance, the two agreed to Bai Qi's request.

"Alright, son, take it back and study it. Maybe you'll be able to revive the ancient species before your parents do."

Luo Zhu patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "Then Mom and Dad will just quit their jobs and work for you!"

"I was just saying maybe, Mom and Dad, you think too highly of me."

Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly. He hadn't even mastered biology yet, and he was trying to revive an ancient species.

Indeed, family ties can make people blind...
