Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 347 Strange Metals

Seeing Zhuge Xu nod affirmatively, Bai Qi was speechless.

"Uncle Zhuge, I am still just a student, and I'm not cut out for this. Let Professor Dong and Professor Chu take on this position."

Zhuge Xu shook his head and said, "I have already asked two professors, and they both think you are the most suitable. After all, you know their temperaments; if anyone goes up, there will be people who will be dissatisfied."

"And it's just a nominal position as dean, no different from before. You just need to lie there and count your money."

"real?"

"real."

After a moment's thought, Bai Qi agreed.

It's not about the money; I just don't want to see Professor Chu and Professor Dong arguing.

Seeing Bai Qi agree, Zhuge Xu immediately smiled and said, "Then, Dean, let's get back to the main topic. Do you agree to let the Yanhuo, Bingyu, and Zhanlei conglomerates join this research institute?"

Bai Qi glanced at the three of them, nodded, and said, "Since they are Uncle Zhuge's friends, I naturally have no objection."

Zhuge Xu smiled with satisfaction and said, "In that case, we'll discuss the establishment of the research institute with you after we've finished our research. But before that, Bai Qi, why don't you come up with a name for the research institute?"

"How about we give it a name?"

Bai Qi had a bit of a headache. Naming animals was something he was least good at, as evidenced by the names of his pets, each one lazier than the last.

"How about we go with the 'Super God Evolution Research Institute'?"

"Super God Evolution? Does that mean surpassing mythology? That's not bad."

Zhuge Xu and the other two exchanged glances and immediately agreed to Bai Qi's suggestion.

"Well then, Mr. Bai Qi, Dean of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, just wait for our good news."

Zhuge Xu patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and laughed, "You really helped Uncle Zhuge a lot in this dojo battle. Wuhou Dojo has really made a name for itself. From today onwards, if you need anything, just tell Zhuge Chen. Wuhou Group will take care of everything for you, free of charge."

"Alright, thank you very much, Uncle Zhuge."

Bai Qi grinned, and the light in his eyes suddenly made Zhuge Xu instinctively regret his decision.

It seems I spoke too definitively.

"Ahem, by the way, there's one more thing. Uncle wants to use the video of your fight from earlier to make a promotional video for the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy. Do you have any objections?"

"Don't worry, it's just a few short clips; it won't reveal too much of your strength."

"It's alright, it's not a big deal anyway, Uncle, you can handle it yourself."

Bai Qi nodded, then suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Bai Qiucha.

"Dad's back. Let's go back to the manor."

Bai Qi closed his phone and said, "Sorry, Uncle Zhuge, my teacher needs to speak with me, so I'll be leaving now."

"Go ahead, Bai Qi's matter is important. Zhuge Chen, see Bai Qi off."

Zhuge Xu smiled slightly, but after watching Bai Qi leave, his expression suddenly changed.

"You all saw what happened just now, right?"

Cao Bin nodded and said, "Of course I've seen the products of the Frankenstein family in the West."

"Sima Jing actually exposed that kind of thing on his own initiative; it seems very suspicious."

Sun Tian frowned slightly and said.

"I think Sima Jing deliberately exposed it to us, as if he was afraid we wouldn't notice."

Liu Bei shared his opinion, and Zhuge Xu nodded in agreement, saying, "The Tsukigami Group has developed rapidly in the past two years. It seems they no longer want to be confined to a corner and controlled by others. Now it's obvious they want to use us as a tool."

"Hmph, does he really think he can clear his name? Bai Chuanqi isn't the kind of person who can be easily fooled."

Zhuge Xu curled his lip in disdain and said, "Since Bai Qi took the Death Metal away, we don't need to worry about it anymore. We can just focus on preparing for our own affairs."

"Too."

Cao Bin nodded and said, "Then, the next step is to discuss the specific organizational details of the Super God Evolution Research Institute..."

……

Bai Family Manor.

Bai Heguang looked thoughtfully at the chains in Alpha's hands.

"Nine Netherworlds, are you sure?"

"No need to look anymore, I can smell the power of death from afar."

Nine Netherworld Sparrow preened its feathers and said, "Those guys at the Death Round Table, I don't know what they did, they made such a mess of the power of death, it's really nauseating."

"Teacher, is it really the Round Table of Death?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly and asked.

"We can't be completely sure yet, but judging from the material of this metal, it's definitely related to the Round Table of Death. Where did you get it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately recounted his experience at the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy, and Bai Heguang fell into deep thought after listening.

"Tsukatora Dojo...the Frankenstein family?"

After a brief silence, Bai Heguang cut off a section of the chain and put it away, saying, "I'll have someone investigate the chain matter. Be careful not to leak it out. Also, be careful yourself; the Death Round Table might be targeting you again."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded and asked, "By the way, teacher, how's the situation at Taize Lake?"

Bai Heguang shook his head and said, "Those beast soul masters don't know much; they were just ordered to spread the original sin potion."

"Potion of Original Sin?"

Bai Qi was somewhat curious.

"The recent unrest among ferocious beasts across the Federation stems from this Sin Potion. This potion takes many forms, and once ingested, it amplifies the emotional fluctuations of the beasts, leading to the events that occurred before."

"However, these guys don't seem to know the specifics of what's happening beneath Taize Lake. They ran into you before they could spread the word."

Hmm... maybe it was scared away by the cowhide snake.

Bai Qi scratched his head and asked, "Then what about the seal beneath Taize Lake? Didn't they break it?"

"I haven't investigated the specifics yet. For now, we can only temporarily fill the seal. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term. We'll make further arrangements once the association and the Thirteenth Bureau personnel arrive."

Bai Heguang rubbed his temples and said, "I've already reviewed your wilderness training. You did well. Just remember to do more real combat in the future. I won't assign you any specific tasks; President Qin will contact you."

"I need to verify some things first, so I won't stay any longer."

Upon hearing Bai Heguang's words, Bai Qi couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, why don't you rest for a few more days? Didn't you say someone else was going to investigate?"

"It's alright, I've rested for half a month, that's enough."

Bai Heguang shook his head, and the Nine Netherworld Sparrow instantly grew larger, with Bai Heguang slowly rising from its back.

"There's only one month left in the training camp, so you two need to do your best in the remaining time."

After saying that, the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, carrying white light on its back, transformed into a long black rainbow and disappeared into the horizon.

"The teacher is truly dedicated; are all the other legendary players like this?"

Bai Qi smacked his lips and asked Bai Qiucha.

"It's not just my father, all the other titled legends, legends, and even masters are like this. Didn't you see that Chairman Qin and Brother Luo never stopped?"

Bai Qiucha shrugged helplessly and explained.

"Tsk tsk, looks like it's necessary to make plans early."

Bai Qi understood immediately. Reaching the sixth rank meant being this busy. After the training camp ended, it would be best not to go to the headquarters. Instead, he could stay in Gu Su City and slowly conduct research as a behind-the-scenes staff member. He wouldn't leave the house until he reached the legendary level. No, even after reaching the legendary level, he wouldn't go out!

996,007, he didn't want to suffer this kind of treatment in another world.

"I'm a bit tired after hitting me for so long, so I'll head back now. See you later."

Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha chatted for a while longer before riding Delta and flying home. Bai Qiucha, on the other hand, enthusiastically took out the supplies she had just bought and built a new home for the Thunder Rat.

Although the Bone Dragon Realm is quite spacious, the environment inside is rather poor. It's time to improve the living conditions for the Thunder Rat.

……

Secret base.

As soon as Bai Qigang arrived home, he went straight into the secret base and then headed straight for the research lab.

"Yu, analyze the composition of this chain. Be careful not to touch it, as it may cause you harm."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Yu responded by activating various instruments to analyze the chains obtained from the Butcher of Hatred.

Crackling.

(Boss, this chain feels really strange to me. It doesn't seem like metal, but rather some kind of creature.)

"Some kind of creature?"

Bai Qi couldn't help but recall the first time the Abomination Butcher removed his disguise; those chains did indeed resemble blood vessels, but now that they had absorbed the power of death, they were barely visible.

"Like those death knights we encountered in the Sun's Lair?"

Alpha shook his head.

(Somewhat similar, but not exactly the same; it seems a bit more chaotic and contains more impurities.)

"confusion?"

Bai Qi nodded slightly. The Nine Netherworld Sparrow and Alpha had almost the same opinion about the chain. There was no doubt that the chain was made with the power of death. However, it was worth investigating what the maker had added.

"Shuke, is there anything similar in Endless Materials Science?"

Shuke glanced at the chains and said uncertainly, "There are some, but apart from the meteorite from Morning Star and Alpha and these few creatures, I don't think there's anything else that can withstand the power of death."

"It's available now."

Bai Qi pointed to the chain and said, "Put aside your other work for now and try to analyze the structure of this chain with Yu. It would be best if we could replicate it."

If he's right, the Death Knights might just be special mechs or puppets made of this metal. If he can replicate this material, he might be able to create an entire legion of Death Knights.

Learning from the barbarians' superior techniques to control them, and researching how to deal with the Death Round Table—I hope my teacher won't blame me?
