Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 476 NPCs in the Emerald Dream?

Finally, the energy fluctuations dissipated, revealing the figures of Alpha and Delta, both standing still, their fates unclear.

Awoo awoo!

(How about that? Did that stinky bone lose?)

Beta was filled with excitement, and he could even picture Alpha falling to the ground.

"Delta is so strong, shouldn't Delta win?"

Click-clack.

(But Gamma feels that Delta's energy values ​​are more unstable.)

Snore!

(Crunch! This ice cream is so delicious!)

"Stop arguing, let's see how it goes."

Under the expectant gazes of Bai Qi and the four pets, the battle between Alpha and Delta finally came to a conclusion.

Bubbling.

(I still can't beat you, Alpha.)

Delta looked at the black sword mark on his dragon arm. The time candle in his left eye flickered, and the wound began to heal, though much slower than before.

The power of death was indeed special. If Alpha hadn't deflected the sword at the last moment, he probably wouldn't have even had a chance to recover.

Crackling.

(Once you upgrade your Time Traveler skill, I will be no match for you.)

Alpha shook his head, walked up to Delta, and actively absorbed the residual death energy from the wound, causing Delta's injuries to recover quickly.

Seeing the two pets in such a state, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

The original intention of the team competition was to improve the competitive spirit of the pets, but if it damages the relationship between them, it will be a loss.

But it seems to be working well now.

"Looks like I don't need to say anything more about the result?"

Delta nodded, and the other pets showed the same expression, except for Beta, who looked completely displeased.

Awoo awoo!

(Damn it, that stinky bone beat me again!)

"If you're not convinced, go and win next time yourself. Complaining won't help."

Jerry looked at Alpha, who was radiating a powerful aura, and his eyes became even more determined.

He needs more power...

"Alright, let's all work harder from now on."

Bai Qi grinned and said, "How about we restart the intra-team competition? Playing a match every now and then will help you guys better understand your own abilities. What do you think?"

Awoo awoo?

(Restarting the internal team battle? I refuse!)

Snap snap snap...

(Master, the intra-team battles are too tiring, I get hungry easily...)

Snoring?

(Hungry? Can I eat during an intra-team battle?)

"Chief, I've always been the weakest, so there's no need for a contest, right?"

Seeing the four pets' listless attitude, Bai Qi's forehead veins bulged, and he said, "Fine, then let's not have any internal team battles."

"Let's change it to an elimination tournament. Whoever reaches level six last will be stripped of their hobbies for a month, no, let's make it three months."

Awoo awoo!

(Human, aren't you afraid of being sued for animal abuse?!)

"You're a wolf, not a dog!"

"Chief, how about we shorten the punishment time?"

"Okay, then let's make it five months."

"Chief, I was wrong."

Snoring?

(Taking away my hobbies? Does that mean I can't eat ice cream?)

"That's right, so what do you say, why don't you give it a try?"

Snore!

(But I'm a newbie, and no one's taking care of me!)

"Yes, I'll reduce your punishment period by one month. By the way, Gamma, what are you going to do?"

Click-clack.

(Gamma went and ate three months' worth of food first.)

Seeing his pets in such a state, Bai Qi felt somewhat helpless.

They've been left to their own devices for too long and they've become lax. But a few more intra-team battles should fix that.

At least, these guys' words and actions are somewhat inconsistent.

Bai Qi looked at the pets who were complaining while silently training, smiled, and said, "Let's rest for a while and then go back to the Super God Evolution Research Institute."

……

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

Bai Qi looked at Nicholas, whose arms were so busy that they were creating afterimages, and felt somewhat bewildered.

"Zhuge Chen, is the demand gap for Emerald Dream really that large?"

Zhuge Chen shrugged and said, "After you left, Emerald Dream started its first public beta test, and the results were amazing. Then my dad and the others discussed it and started the public beta test a week later, and that's how it turned out."

"All right……"

Bai Qi sighed upon hearing this. No wonder it took Cordyceps so long to contact Nicholas; it turned out the guy was working overtime.

"By the way, where is Grandma Fan?"

Bai Qi looked around but didn't see Granny Fan.

"Grandma Fan is experiencing the new game pod in the testing area outside, but I suggest you don't disturb her."

Zhuge Chen smiled bitterly. According to Bai Qi, Granny Fan had lived for countless years and should theoretically be someone who had seen through the illusions of the world, but it turned out that she was a severe internet addict.

Previously, some staff members wanted to replace parts of the game pod, which woke up Granny Fan. She was so frightened by Longwei that she now wants to run away whenever she sees a woman.

"All right."

Bai Qi asked, "By the way, what's the situation with that gaming pod?"

"After Emerald Dream became a hit, it attracted many professional game teams to move in and put forward a lot of suggestions, one of which was this game pod."

Zhuge Chen explained, "The Emerald Dream is transmitted through dream entry, but dreams always have varying depths. This game pod is used to aid sleep and relax the body."

"I've tried it too, and the gaming pod is definitely a better experience than a gaming headset."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized that he had been thinking about how to transmit human consciousness to the Emerald Dream through dreams, but he hadn't considered this point.

Indeed, a professional team is needed to handle things perfectly during this period.

"By the way, wouldn't the gaming pod be very expensive?"

"That's right. Compared to the Emerald Helmet, the gaming pod is more than ten times more expensive, and that's just for the basic module. It's basically aimed at the middle to high-end users."

"So expensive?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. Wouldn't such a high price affect the sale?

Zhuge Chen suddenly revealed a shrewd smile, like that of a cunning merchant, and said, "Most people can afford jade helmets. They don't have the time or inclination to pursue things like sleep depth. Those who have such thoughts are people who are not short of money. If the price is too low, they will think the quality is not good."

"Once the gaming pod technology is finalized, we'll continue to release various add-on modules and upgrade it. They're not short of money, right?"

Seeing Zhuge Chen's expression, Bai Qi silently gave him a thumbs up.

In terms of research, Zhuge Chen is not as good as him.

When it comes to making money, ten of them can't compare to Zhuge Chen!

"However, the consumption rate of this Bright Spirit Gold has also become a bit faster, and the agreed transaction volume may not be enough."

Zhuge Chen sighed and said, "Professor Chu and his team have already started researching alternative metals, but it will be difficult to produce results in the short term."

"I see, that is indeed a problem."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. The effect of Mingling Gold on the transmission of spiritual power is absolutely unparalleled in the world. Even Ether Gold is slightly inferior in this respect.

It's very difficult to find a substitute for the original metal, so we can only make an alloy.

"Speaking of which, the Xia Group is quite capable in alloy manufacturing. Why didn't you try your hand at it?"

"Dad has already made the talks, and the Xia Group is willing to provide their products, but the test results were not good, so we still have to rely on ourselves."

Zhuge Chen shrugged and smiled, "However, the Xia Group seems to understand that this is a lucrative business, and it is said that they have already invested a lot of manpower and resources in developing this alloy."

"As expected, businessmen always have a keen sense of smell."

Bai Qi smiled. Since taking over the production rights of the Spirit Orb, even though he didn't hand over the subsequent special orbs to them, the Xia Group had already made a fortune.

If they manage to develop an alloy to replace the Bright Spirit Gold first and incorporate it into the Emerald Dream plan, all the previous costs will be recouped.

The Xia Group can still make sense of this.

"But that's all in the future. For now, we still have to rely on the Bright Spirit Gold provided by the Brita family. Dad has already arranged with the Brita family to sign a supplementary contract."

As he spoke, Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi and said, "It's good that you're back now. You might have to come along too, since the contract can't be fully effective without your signature."

"I have to go too? But I'm going to Star Machine Academy in a few days."

Bai Qi scratched his head, somewhat reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Dad will leave this afternoon and arrive the day after tomorrow if all goes well. He'll come right back after signing the papers, and you'll have a couple of days to rest and prepare your lessons."

Zhuge Chen patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and smiled.

"Why do I have a feeling that you and Uncle Zhuge planned this all along?"

Bai Qi looked at Zhuge Chen suspiciously, but could only silently agree.

He still wanted to make some extra money through the Jade Dream project, and although it was a bit troublesome, he had no choice but to go.

"By the way, are there any empty gaming pods? I'd like to try them out too."

Bai Qi rubbed his hands together, clearly curious.

In my past life, I always looked forward to the day when a gaming pod, a cutting-edge technology that only existed in movies and anime, would be released. Now that I have the opportunity, of course I have to give it a try.

"There are still quite a few vacant spaces in the experimental area. I'll take you there."

Zhuge Chen led Bai Qi to the testing area, then opened a gaming pod and said, "The gaming pods are all fully automatic; you can just lie down in them."

"clear."

Bai Qi nodded, then lay down in the game pod and fell into a deep sleep.

The next moment, Bai Qi arrived in the Emerald Dreamland.

Wow, it's so lively!

As soon as Bai Qi entered, he was startled by the crowd around him.

Compared to the once silent world, the Emerald Dreamland is now undoubtedly much more lively.

However, the chaos that Bai Qi had anticipated did not occur.

Bai Qi looked up and saw a group of players who were clearly organized forming a sightseeing adventure group. This must be the studio that Zhuge Chen mentioned.

However, what intrigued Bai Qi even more was that a group of men dressed in cyan-gold uniforms with identical faces were patiently explaining the rules of the Emerald Dream and recommending various areas worth visiting.

"A beginner's guide NPC? They've even developed something like that?"

Bai Qi looked surprised, clearly astonished by the progress of Professor Dong and his team's research.

Although they claimed that Emerald Dream was a game, Bai Qi knew very well that it was a hoax, but these people actually created NPCs.
