Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 420 Stealing Half a Day of Leisure

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, President Qin rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "You still have the mood to laugh? Do you think you can just wander around in a place like the Elemental Realm? One wrong move and you're gone."

"I made it out alive, didn't I?"

Bai Qi scratched his head, and only calmed down after seeing that Bai Heguang also seemed somewhat displeased.

"Tell me about your experiences in the elemental realm."

Bai Qi nodded and described his experiences in the elemental realm in detail.

"A fire giant? That must be a flaming demon. You're lucky you managed to find an exit, otherwise you would have been in grave danger this time."

Bai Heguang nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "In a place like the Fire Elemental Realm, even Jiuyou and I might not be able to defeat them. It's truly a stroke of luck that you were able to escape."

Can't even beat a teacher?

That fire demon was indeed very powerful.

Thinking that even with the elemental gates blocking the way, the Balrog could still break through Alpha and the others' defenses with overwhelming force, and combined with what Bai and Guang said, Bai Qi suddenly felt a chill of fear.

"But you said that after you passed through the Elemental Gate, you appeared directly in Taize Lake, and it was the same place where the anomaly occurred last time. Are you sure?"

Bai Heguang asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, that's the place, but I went back to investigate later and couldn't find the elemental gate."

Bai Qi sighed with some regret. If the hidden feature in Taize Lake was an elemental gate leading to the water elemental realm, then the strange changes in Taize Lake would make sense. If it could be developed, it would definitely be a great gain.

"The Elemental Gate is difficult to discover unless you know a specific method, but judging from the changes these days, it should appear soon."

Bai Heguang understood and said, "You've just advanced to the sixth rank, so don't run around before the New Year. Stay in Gusu City and cultivate properly."

"Okay, teacher."

Bai Qi nodded. Even if Bai Heguang didn't say anything, he wouldn't run around for the time being. Besides focusing on leveling up his six pet beasts, he could also calm down and study alchemy.

"Alright, since you're fine, I won't stay any longer. Get some rest."

Bai Heguang gave Bai Qi a few more instructions before getting up to leave.

"Teacher, aren't you going to take a couple of days off?"

Seeing that Bai Heguang was about to leave again, Bai Qi couldn't help but ask.

"I have some things to take care of, so I don't have time to rest for the time being."

Bai Heguang shook his head, glanced at Bai Qi, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you won't have time to rest for long either."

After saying this, Bai Heguang and Chairman Qin nodded slightly and strode away.

"I'm not getting any rest either? What does that mean?"

Bai Qi scratched his head blankly, completely not understanding what Bai Heguang meant, while Chairman Qin couldn't help but laugh.

"You really don't care about anything, Dean Bai."

"Dean Bai? The Super God Evolution Research Institute?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, but immediately realized what was going on.

It seems that Dad mentioned the research institute earlier. Could it be that the research institute has already been built?

"That's right, with five conglomerates working together, the efficiency is naturally very high."

President Qin smiled and said, "By the way, because of the Jiuli Consortium's involvement, the Super God Evolution Research Institute has added another research branch, focusing on biological evolution, and you are quite familiar with the person in charge of this branch."

"I know this place well, could it be...?"

Bai Qi's eye twitched, and he unconsciously glanced in the direction of his own research lab.

"That's right, it's your parents."

Chairman Qin stroked his beard and said, "Considering that your family rarely sees each other, the Jiuli Consortium has arranged for your parents to be transferred here during the establishment of the Super God Evolution Research Institute. How about it, are you happy?"

"It's alright."

Bai Qi's lips twitched. Being able to reunite with his parents was indeed a happy thing, but for his family, it didn't matter where they were.

He was quite certain that his parents would choose to study him over him.

"Alright, I still have things to take care of, so I won't talk to you any longer. Take good care of yourself."

President Qin stood up, looking at Bai Qi with displeasure, and said, "Because of you, I've had so many things piling up that I haven't been able to deal with for days. Get over here and finish these tasks as soon as you have a spare moment!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately flashed a fawning smile and said, "President, would you like me to take you home?"

"No, I'm afraid you'll just send me away."

President Qin shook his head and said, "Your dad should be waiting for you. Go check on things at the research institute as soon as possible, and let your friends know you're safe."

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded, saw Chairman Qin to the door, and then went to the research room to find Bai Yan.

Only Bai Yan was in the research room at this time; Luo Zhu was nowhere to be seen.

If I'm not mistaken, Luo Zhu should be at the research institute right now.

"Your teacher and Chairman Qin have left?"

Bai Yan put down his work and asked.

"Um."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Dad, you've been transferred to the Super God Evolution Research Institute?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan immediately smiled and said, "That's right, from now on, Mom and Dad's salaries will depend on you."

"Dad, there's something wrong with your thinking. You're even playing cards with your own son."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi unconsciously pressed down on his phone, which made Bai Yan chuckle.

"Don't worry, with the five major conglomerates providing funding, you're not afraid of not being able to pay salaries."

Bai Yan patted Bai Qi on the shoulder, a gratified smile on his face, and said, "I never expected that my son, who is only a sophomore, has already achieved far more than the two of us. It's really a bit embarrassing to admit."

"Dad, are you running a fever? When did you become so sentimental?"

Bai Qi stared blankly at Bai Yan, unable to resist making a series of sarcastic remarks.

boom!

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Yan's forehead veins bulged, and he punched Bai Qi on the head.

"You brat, you're asking for a beating, aren't you? Your mom's not home today, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Holy crap, Mom, help!"

……

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

Luo Zhu looked at Bai Yan's swollen hands with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Bai Qi, who looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but ask.

"You two, father and son, had a fight?"

Bai Qi shrugged and said innocently, "How could I dare? My dad beat me up, and then..."

He is now a sixth-tier beast tamer, and thanks to the Evolution Egg, his physical strength is much greater than that of an average sixth-tier beast tamer, while Bai Yan is just an ordinary person who spends his years doing research.

This resulted in Bai Qi being the one who got beaten up, but Bai Yan being the one who got hurt instead.

"You brat, just you wait."

Bai Yan glared fiercely at Bai Qi, refusing to mention what had happened before.

"Beat my son? Bai Yan, you've gone too far! How dare you hit my precious son?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu frowned slightly, pinched Bai Yan's waist hard, and then looked at Bai Qi with heartache.

"My dear son, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Weren't you supposed to be submitting your training results to the association headquarters? How come you're covered in injuries?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

Bai Qi shrugged, still concealing the fact that he had accidentally entered the elemental realm. He glanced at the vast complex of buildings around him and couldn't help but admire it.

It's true that the more money you have, the better things will be done.

Such a large complex was completed in such a short time, and it seems to be already in normal operation.

"It's perfect that you're here. Mom will show you around and let you see your office."

Luo Zhu pulled Bai Qi over, pointed to the largest building in front of them, and said, "Even the chairman of the Jiuli Consortium doesn't have such a luxurious office."

"An office? There's no need to be so dramatic. I'm still just a student."

Bai Qi scratched his head. This kind of attention-seeking thing was quite troublesome. He didn't want to sit in the office all day dealing with documents like Chairman Qin.

"You still know you're a student. If you keep running around like this all day, see how I deal with you."

Luo Zhu rolled her eyes in annoyance, and then led Bai Qi on a tour of the research institute.

This is the main building, where various departments compile data and results. Members of the three major evolution research groups—runes, weaponry, and biology—are also temporarily housed here.

Bai Qi's office was located on the top floor.

Luo Zhu led Bai Qi through the office area, pointed to the clearly defined instruments in the research area, and said, "This floor is exclusively for you. Apart from the office in front, the entire back is the research area. All kinds of facilities have been provided for you. You can conduct your future research here."

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly. The base in the secret realm was still under construction, and he had nowhere to conduct research for the time being, so this solved his immediate problem.

"Alright, Mom, I still have a project I'm working on. You can explore on your own from now on. Anyway, there's nothing for you to do for the time being."

Luo Zhu checked the time and hurriedly left, with Bai Yan following behind.

As the heads of the biological evolution group, they were busier than before, and it was already quite rare for them to spend so much time with Bai Qi.

After seeing the two off, Bai Qi finally had time to calmly tour his brand-new research area.

As Luo Zhu said, the research area is fully equipped with all kinds of equipment, even a small production line for mechanical weapons.

"Shuke bought the estate too early..."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, suddenly feeling a pang of regret for his previous spending.

With such complete facilities here, Bai Qi felt that he probably wouldn't be going home anytime soon, and that manor would likely follow in the footsteps of his previous villa.

"Forget it, just consider it an investment."

Bai Qi sighed, took out his phone to let Zhuge Chen, Bai Qiucha and the others know he was safe, and then plunged into the laboratory.

After copying so much information from the Tower of Knowledge, I finally have time to study it properly.
