Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 387 Special Forces Zero Team

Seeing Bai Qi's actions on the electronic board, Professor Li was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.

Owner of quad-core patents, exclusive spokesperson for the Wuhou Consortium, Dean of the Future Super God Evolution Research Institute, and a multi-talented and wealthy representative of the new generation.

It's just the purchase of three nuclear-grade energy systems; nothing surprising.

This kid is too unassuming. A star-core level energy system is a high-end energy system that only the Thirteenth Bureau is qualified to sell and that mechanical engineering universities are qualified to purchase. It is only lower than the planetary level energy used by Luo Wang.

Even though Bai Qi is currently very popular, it's not something you can just buy casually.

Well, she's Professor Chu's favorite student after all. I'll just help her buy it later in the name of Star Machinery Academy.

Shortly after Bai Qi placed his order, a shop assistant approached and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Bai Qi, would you like to pick it up immediately?"

Bai Qi nodded. Shuke and Yu had already designed the renovation plan for the new secret realm. The original base was already being relocated, and now they were just waiting for the new energy system and materials to arrive.

"The goods you requested are quite large, please follow me."

The shop assistant stepped aside, gesturing for Bai Qi to follow him, while Professor Li looked somewhat bewildered.

Was his intelligence outdated? Is this star-core energy system already freely available for buying and selling?

"Hello, I'd like to replace the energy system I just purchased with a star core system, is that alright?"

Upon seeing this, Professor Li quickly caught up with the shop assistant, wanting to modify the order.

"I'm sorry, Professor Li, the authority to purchase a Star Core-level system is quite high, and you cannot purchase it at this time."

The shop assistant gave Professor Li an apologetic smile and continued leading Bai Qi toward the warehouse.

"Do I not have enough permissions?"

Professor Li was suddenly petrified. Looking at Bai Qi, who had directly purchased three units and was already ready to pick them up, he felt utterly exhausted.

Suddenly I'm wondering if I should apply for early retirement?

As the shop assistant said, the size of the Star Core-level energy system is indeed quite large. In comparison, the Cataclysmic-level energy system that Bai Qi used before was rather small.

"As expected, the Thirteenth Bureau is the culmination of the Federation's mechanical engineering expertise."

Bai Qi was somewhat envious as he followed the shop assistant to a star-core energy system.

"Mr. Bai Qi, this star core system has passed quality inspection, so you can use it with confidence. However, this system takes up quite a lot of space. Would you like us to send someone to help you with transportation and installation?"

The shop assistants treated Bai Qi with great respect, perfectly embodying the principle that the customer is king.

"No need, I can take it myself."

Bai Qi walked to the Star Core System and gently pressed the black ring on his right hand in front of it. The enormous Star Core System instantly disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the shop assistant was taken aback at first, but quickly understood and, together with Bai Qi, collected the other two systems.

"Mr. Bai Qi, Director Wang specifically instructed that you have purchasing authority for special operations team members in the Logistics Department. If you need anything, you can just tell me and I can place the order for you directly."

"Huh? You can do that?"

Bai Qi took the electronic version handed to him by the shop assistant, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the dazzling array of materials on it.

"Can I really buy everything?"

"Can."

The shop assistant nodded, just about to give Bai Qi some recommendations, when he saw Bai Qi frantically operating the electronic board, seemingly intent on emptying the entire place.

"Um, Mr. Bai Qi, while special operations team members do have the authority to apply for loans in the later stages, you've already purchased three star-core-level energy systems. Purchasing more might be..."

The shop assistant was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly received a notification that a new order had been paid for. She was stunned to find that the order had been placed by Bai Qi.

"this……"

Looking at the unit after the order's payment amount and the number of digits in front of it, even the store clerk, who was used to big scenes in the logistics department, was still somewhat shocked.

Is this the wealth that quad-core processors represent?

"That should be about right."

Bai Qi took out the list that Shu Ke had prepared earlier and checked it against the list. After confirming that everything was correct, he returned the electronic version to the shop assistant and said, "Um, can we go pick up the goods now?"

The shop assistant remained silent, staring at the contents of the electronic display before finally replying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai Qi, you've purchased quite a lot of items. It may take me some time to prepare them. Please wait a moment, and I'll contact you once they're ready."

"Yes, no problem."

Bai Qi nodded. He was well aware of the terrifying amount of things he had purchased; the drastic reduction in his federal bank account balance was the best proof of that.

But money is meant to be spent, otherwise it's just a number.

Several famous quotes from BB suddenly popped into Bai Qi's mind, and he suddenly realized how true they were.

"Have you finished shopping?"

Just then, Li Xusheng arrived at the pickup area and looked at Bai Qi, who was lost in his own world, with an increasingly strange expression.

It's really hard to accept losing to someone like that.

"I've bought it, but I'm waiting to pick it up."

Bai Qi looked at Li Xusheng and asked, "What's this? Are we about to set off?"

Li Xusheng shook his head and said, "Not yet, those guys are rarely punctual."

"Are those guys the ones who went to Eden with us?"

Bai Qi understood immediately upon hearing this and suddenly became interested.

Eden, the home of the Federation's guardians, is inhabited mostly by legendary creatures who, even after the death of their beast tamers, remain willing to protect the Federation. It is the Federation's greatest asset in its struggle against the tribes.

Bai Qi and his group's mission was simply to attend a grand event in Eden, at the invitation of the Garden of Eden's owner.

According to Yi Yu, only the Thirteen Bureaus and a few families in the west have ever been able to participate in this Eden Gathering. Although the association has a long history, it has never received an invitation.

This time, he's already made an exception.

"Um."

Li Xusheng nodded, then suddenly his expression hardened, and he stomped his foot on the ground. Bai Qi also sensed something and immediately left his spot.

"Ah~ Xiao Xusheng, your reaction is still so quick. Your sneak attack failed again."

To Bai Qi's astonishment, a baby face with an exaggerated smile emerged from the ground, looking at Li Xusheng's right foot as it brushed past him, and couldn't help but complain.

"We're not that close yet, don't call me that, Senior Wang Chuan."

Li Xusheng snorted coldly, turned his head away and ignored Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan seemed to be used to this, his smile unchanged, and he crawled out of the ground.

Bai Qi felt awkward as soon as he came out.

"Ahem, um, your clothes fell off."

Bai Qi pointed to the clothes scattered all over Wang Chuan's feet, offering a friendly reminder.

"Ugh~ I lost control again."

Seeing this, Wang Chuan hurriedly put on his clothes and then gave Bai Qi a grateful smile.

"I'm sorry, my talent is penetration, which allows me to pass through any tangible material. However, if I don't control it well, I might accidentally pass through my clothes as well. My apologies."

Penetration talent? Is it similar to Bai Yuxiao's etherealization?

So the reason this guy suddenly emerged from underground was because of this penetrating talent?

This is simply a god-tier fighting technique!

Looking at Wang Chuan, who was laughing to himself, Bai Qi suddenly felt that Gamma's divine protection wasn't so appealing anymore.

"Wang Chuan, stop making such a racket outside, it's too noisy."

Just then, four figures walked over from a distance, dressed exactly like Wang Chuan.

Is this... a special operations team uniform?

Influenced by Wang Chuan's flamboyant personality, Bai Qi didn't even recognize that the other was also wearing a special forces uniform.

However, he had already met the Special Forces 1, 2, 3, and 4, but it seemed like he didn't see these people.

Under Bai Qi's questioning gaze, the four people came to stand in front of them.

"Wang Chuan, if you casually mention your talent again next time, I'll have to consider suggesting to the minister that you be kicked out of Team Zero."

A young man with a cold expression glared at Wang Chuan, then turned to Bai Qi and said, "Sorry, Wang Chuan is just a very carefree person. If he has been rude in any way, I apologize on his behalf."

You're too kind.

Bai Qi nodded, becoming increasingly curious about the identities of the others.

Finally, Li Xusheng remembered his duties, pointed to the five people in front of him, and said, "These five are members of the Zero Team of the Special Forces, and they are the people who are going to Eden with us to carry out this mission."

Is there a zero team?

Sure enough, if the Four Heavenly Kings can have five, it makes sense that the Special Forces team starts counting from zero, right?

"You must be Bai Qi? I've heard a lot about you in the news, but this is the first time I've met you in person."

The gloomy man extended his right hand to Bai Qi and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Tan Lang, the captain of Team Zero. The one who just emerged from underground is our team member, Wang Chuan."

"Hello there."

Bai Qi grasped the other person's hand and shook it gently, and the other three also introduced themselves in turn.

"Team Zero, Mu Yu."

"Team Zero, Ye Ge."

"Team Zero, Jiang Lele."

Unlike Wang Chuan, the others did not show much interest in Bai Qi. They simply gave their names and then fell silent. Bai Qi was happy to keep things simple and did not pay much attention to them.

He's just here to carry out a mission. If people don't want to talk to him, he doesn't need to try to be nice to them.

Moreover, when he shook hands with Tan Lang just now, the Evolution Egg seemed to shake slightly?

Seeing this, Tan Lang frowned slightly and explained, "They don't usually like to interact with people, so..."

Bai Qi shrugged. They weren't close anyway, so it didn't matter.

Tan Lang checked the time and said, "Minister Yi just messaged me, telling us to meet up with you and go directly to the Star Gate to wait for him. If there's nothing else, let's set off."

"Sorry, I bought some things but haven't picked them up yet, it might take a while."

Bai Qidao.

Tan Lang shook his head and said, "It's just a reminder. Do you need me to take you directly to the warehouse?"

"No need, they should already be ready."

Bai Qi pointed to the shop assistant who was running towards them not far away and declined Tan Lang's offer.

Although Tan Lang spoke very politely, he gave the impression of being like a puppet on a string—insincere and formulaic.

Clearly, this politeness was just an act.

In comparison, Li Xusheng is much more lovable.
