Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 410 Reencounter with Sima

"I see."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this. Although it wasn't that exaggerated, Eden Garden was somewhat similar to the breeding ground managed by Granny Fan in that it provided excellent pet contracts for the younger generation.

Thinking about it this way, he seemed to understand why the association didn't participate in the events held by Eden.

If you already have it at home, there's no need to come here and owe someone a favor.

"I'll see how it goes later; I might not be able to find a pet I like."

Bai Qi did not rush to agree to Yi Yu's overtures, and then asked about the important matter.

"Minister Yi, I think I've completed my mission, so what's my reward?"

Yi Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Of course it's done. I wonder what attribute Bai Qi wants?"

"Do you have any materials related to spacetime?"

Bai Qi immediately voiced his thoughts: the training camp points cannot be exchanged for spacetime materials, but perhaps the Thirteenth Bureau might have a solution.

"I'm sorry, time-related materials are extremely rare, and I can't guarantee that I can find them. However, space-related materials are possible."

A look of apology appeared on Yi Yu's face as he spoke.

"I see, then let's go with the space-based system."

Bai Qi sighed regretfully upon hearing this. The rarity of these time-related materials was indeed beyond his imagination. Even the Thirteenth Bureau had such difficulty, so Granny Fan's idea probably couldn't be realized.

"Okay, I'll go find it for you later. If all goes well, it should be delivered to you within three weeks."

"OK."

Bai Qi nodded and stopped talking. Yi Yu knew Bai Qi's personality and didn't care. He led Bai Qi directly to a cave.

"This is the location of the Contract Tournament. Pets who want to form contracts with humans will wait inside for their chosen Beastmaster. It's still early, so there should be quite a few powerful pets inside. Shall we go in and take a look?"

Yi Yu pointed to the cave in front of him and asked.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Minister Yi to lead the way."

Bai Qi nodded and followed Yi Yu inside.

The layout inside the cave is much more complex than it appears from the outside. The passageways are interconnected, leading to stone chambers of varying sizes, which are filled with all sorts of extraordinary creatures rarely seen in the outside world.

"Luckily, I can catch up on some progress."

Bai Qi grinned and ran over to pet almost every pet he saw, causing the progress of the Diamond Egg to skyrocket at a visible speed.

I wonder if I can max out the progress of the Diamond Egg directly. If not, I'll find an excuse to go see the Guardians.

Bai Qi was happily petting the beast, completely unaware that Yi Yu's eyes behind him were becoming increasingly cloudy.

"Bai Qi? I never expected to run into you here."

Just then, a tall, thin man interrupted Bai Qi's pleasant beast-petting journey. Bai Qi looked over at the sound and froze on the spot.

"Chairman Sima? What are you doing here?"

The person who came was none other than Sima Jing, whom they had encountered during the Wuhou Martial Arts Academy Challenge.

Sima Jing smiled, walked up to Bai Qi, and immediately noticed the six runes on the back of Bai Qi's hand, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

"I didn't expect that you would already be a sixth-level master in such a short time. I was rude just now."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Chairman Sima, you're too kind. I still have a lot to learn from my seniors."

"Haha... By the way, Bai Qi, since you're here, you must be here to choose a pet you like, right?"

Sima Jing looked at Bai Qi's side, and when she saw Yi Yu's expression change slightly, she said, "So Minister Yi is here too. I was just planning to show Bai Qi the way, but since Minister Yi is here, I won't overstep my bounds."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yu smiled faintly and said, "Master Sima is too kind. My knowledge is limited, so I will not disturb Bai Qi."

"That's true. Bai Qi, your pets are all so powerful. You must have some unique insights into choosing pets. I was just being presumptuous."

Sima Jing burst into laughter, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, have you decided which pet beast you want to contract?"

"Not yet, let's take a look."

This is the first time Bai Qi has leveled up without preparing his pet in advance, which has directly led to him being in a difficult situation.

Alpha's position as a strong attacker is basically confirmed. Husky is a well-rounded player, with Gamma providing support and defense. Delta is an all-around mount that can be used on land, sea, and air. As for Cordyceps, it can barely be considered a controller.

Bai Qi has already prepared all the necessary skills: warrior, mage, archer, and priest. Therefore, he can't think of any other pet he particularly wants to contract.

If he had to say something, Bai Qi was actually thinking of contracting an equipment-type pet.

After all, what boy doesn't dream of wandering the world with a sword?

"In that case, Bai Qi, if you are interested, you can come and have a look at our Tsukatora Dojo. Our Tsukatora Foundation has quite a few rare pets."

Upon hearing Sima Jing's words, Bai Qi immediately recalled the Abomination Butcher who had fought against Alpha.

No, to be precise, it should be the death chain that abhors the butcher.

I almost forgot that the chairman gave me the opportunity to get the Thirteenth Bureau's attention to this matter. Now that Sima Jing has delivered himself to my doorstep, it saves me the trouble of thinking about it myself.

"That's possible. I remember the one who fought Alpha last time was named Sima Zhao, right? There aren't many creatures that can withstand the Sword of Death."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Yi Yu indeed became interested, but he only glanced at Sima Jing and did not say anything more.

It seems the revelations aren't enough.

Seeing this, Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless. After a moment's thought, he said, "By the way, Chairman Sima, I've been studying materials science recently and need some Bright Spirit Gold, but it's really hard to find. I wonder if Chairman Sima could help me procure some?"

"Mingling Gold? Of course, the Brita family is here too. They control 80% of the Mingling Gold mines in the west. Even our Tomb Tiger Group purchases its gold from them."

Why is the Brita family being brought up again? Oh right, I think I heard them mention before that the Sima family was able to develop with the support of some powerful families in the west. So it seems that this is probably the Brita family.

But this makes things seem even more complicated.

The president is also like that. He's so familiar with Wang Jian, he could have just said something, but he had to make things so complicated.

Bai Qi smacked his lips, glanced at Yi Yu beside him who always wore a smile, and patiently said, "Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Sima."

Despite his complaints, Bai Qi understood the president's concerns.

Regardless of whether it's the Shizuka Tiger Foundation, the Beastmaster Association, or even the Death Round Table, they are all just civilian organizations to the Federation. Even if the Federation and the Association have a close relationship, it cannot say that the Shizuka Tiger Foundation is related to the Death Round Table without evidence.

As for searching for evidence...

This kind of thing should be left to the authorities to handle; why should they meddle?

With this in mind, Bai Qi immediately began to consider the next steps.

"Perfect timing, they're here."

At this moment, Sima Jing waved to a spot not far away, and two blond-haired, blue-eyed youths walked over.

"Let me introduce you. This is Charles Britta, the third in line to the Britta family, and this is his brother, Aluru Britta, the sixth in line to the Britta family."

Sima Jing pointed to the two men and introduced them to Bai Qi, saying, "This is Master Bai Qi, whom I mentioned to you two before."

"Master Bai Qi?"

Charles was clearly surprised by Sima Jing's address, but after seeing the six runes on the back of Bai Qi's hand, his gaze towards Bai Qi suddenly became strange.

"I didn't expect Master Bai Qi to be so young. I was indeed too complacent."

Charles bowed to Bai Qi, and so did Alulu beside him. Their movements were as precise as if they were replicated by a machine.

"Are all these large families evolved from robots? Their movements are far too formulaic..."

Seeing this, Bai Qi inwardly grumbled, but still honestly returned the greeting, saying, "Your Excellency Charles is too kind. I was just a little lucky."

"Hahaha... Master Bai Qi is still so humble, but I think Master Bai Qi must be in a hurry to find a suitable pet, so we won't waste Master's time."

Sima Jing paused for a moment, then explained Bai Qi's idea to Charles.

"Mingling Gold? Of course, if Master Bai Qi wants some, I'll have someone send some over later."

Charles agreed without hesitation, saying, "Although Mingling Gold is unique to the West, it is relatively abundant and not a rare thing."

So readily agreed? Could it be them?

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, but Sima Jing immediately explained.

"It would be best if His Highness Charles agreed, since it's not something that ordinary people can buy except for friends of the Britann family."

Sima Jing's words brought Bai Qi's doubts back to the surface, and his gaze became increasingly strange as he unconsciously glanced at Sima Jing a few more times.

This guy seems to be afraid I won't suspect the Britann family.

something wrong.

"Then thank you very much, Your Excellency Charles."

Bai Qi glanced back and forth between the two men, then thanked Charles. Charles seemed to have other things to attend to, and after exchanging a few polite words with Bai Qi, he hurriedly left.

After the others left, Yi Yu asked Bai Qi, "I remember the 13th Bureau's logistics department also has some Mingling Gold. Bai Qi, if you need it, would you like me to buy it for you?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Since I've already bought it, there's no need to trouble Minister Yi. I just discovered that Mingling Gold seems to have a certain tolerance to the power of death, so I was thinking of researching it."

"Is that so..."

Yi Yu nodded, a strange light suddenly appearing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"The elemental zone is ahead, Bai Qi, would you like to go take a look?"

"Elemental zone? Sure."
