Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 477 Heading to the Britta Family

"Chief? What brings you here?"

Just then, an NPC suddenly walked up to Bai Qi and asked.

"Leader? You're Epsilon?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and the NPC gradually transformed into the appearance of Epsilon.

"That's right."

Epsilon nodded and said, "Lord Nicholas has been busy making the Emerald Helmet lately, so he entrusted me to help manage it."

"Would you help with management?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but look at the NPCs around him, which were clearly replicas, and asked, "Then what's with these NPCs? Are they played by real people?"

"No, these are all virtual characters I created. They're just a bit stiff and can only repeat some basic questions."

Cordyceps nodded, and another NPC materialized.

Seeing this, Bai Qi followed the others and asked some questions. The NPC immediately answered fluently. Although he could feel a mechanical quality, it already possessed basic intelligence.

"If this continues, won't it turn into a virtual soul?"

Bai Qi could naturally distinguish that this NPC was different from the characters in the previous dream of Cordyceps.

The characters in Cordyceps' previous dreams, though vivid and lifelike, were ultimately just illusions.

The one in front of me, though stiff in movement, is a living, breathing being.

At least, in this dream.

"A virtual soul? I really hadn't thought that far ahead."

Cordyceps was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "I just felt that managing things by myself was too troublesome, so I tried to use the power of jade to condense some assistants."

Bai Qi suddenly understood and said, "I see. But this is a very good direction for development. If we can condense dream creatures with combat capabilities, Epsilon, your dream will also have considerable combat power."

"It seems like it really can work!"

Upon hearing this, Cordyceps' eyes lit up. If he could really condense it, wouldn't he be able to have the same direct combat power in the dream world as the Nightmare Dead Apostle?

"Chief, I have some ideas, so I'll have to keep you company for now."

After saying that, the cordyceps disappeared without a trace, and even the original NPCs disappeared one by one.

Clearly, Cordyceps was now focusing all its attention on studying the idea it had just come up with.

"Huh? Where did the NPC go?"

Players who were consulting were puzzled when the NPCs suddenly disappeared, but some veteran players were used to it and said, "It's normal. These NPCs were added temporarily based on player feedback, so it's normal for them to have some problems."

"This...doesn't that mean the game isn't fully developed yet?"

"Nonsense, their slogan is to create a primitive world so you can enjoy the purest natural creatures. Any attempt to change this world will be driven away. You're lucky if they give you a few NPCs."

"I see. So what should a beginner do if they don't know where to go?"

"That's easy. I'm one of the first players to participate in the open beta, so I can show you around. But as for the reward..."

"Of course, of course."

"Alright, boss, let's go!"

Similar scenes were playing out in different places, and Bai Qi did not try to stop them.

Tour guides and tourist attractions are inherently inseparable.

Without these eloquent tour guides, just looking at the scenery without anyone to explain it would become boring after a while, no matter how beautiful the view was.

This approach, which can also attract new players and increase engagement, is a win-win situation.

Bai Qi smiled and then voluntarily exited the Emerald Dream.

……

Western.

Brita family residence.

Compared to the Ish family, the Britta family's architectural style appears much grander, perfectly blending classical culture with modern technology, making the entire complex appear magnificent and vibrant.

"Chairman Zhuge, Master Bai Qi, we've finally been waiting for you."

Charles Britta smiled as he watched Bai Qi and his sons Zhuge Xu and Zhuge Chen disembark from the plane, and went forward to greet them.

"This must be your son?"

"That's right, it's a rare opportunity, so we brought them along to broaden their horizons."

Charles shook hands with Zhuge Xu, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "I didn't expect Master Bai Qi to come along. It's truly an honor for our Brita family."

"I wouldn't dare."

Bai Qi smiled, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards a group of people walking towards a house in the distance.

That's Dean Berg?

Noticing Bai Qi's gaze, Charles turned around and immediately smiled, "What a coincidence, the Berg family is also here to discuss the purchase of Mingling Gold. Why don't you all come together?"

"That's quite a coincidence."

Zhuge Xu smiled, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

It's the same old routine as before.

Charles led the two to the drawing room, where several members of the Borg family were already waiting. Accompanying them was a middle-aged man who looked similar to Charles but was noticeably older.

"You've all met the members of the Borg family, so I won't introduce them one by one. This is my brother, Wells Britta, the head of our Britta family."

Charles introduced his brother, and Wells politely invited Bai Qi and the others to take their seats.

"Master Bai Qi, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

John Berg smiled at Bai Qi, while Dean, who stood up beside him, had the same expression—gentle and formulaic.

"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Bai Qi smiled helplessly. He had just refused their invitation when the Super God Evolution Research Institute opened, but now they had delivered it to his door. It was quite a slap in the face.

"Since we've run into each other, why don't we stop by and take a look at our Borg family's place after we finish our discussions here?"

John seemed quite determined to invite Bai Qi to their family, and extended the invitation again. Bai Qi was about to refuse when Zhuge Xu stopped him.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Zhuge Xu smiled and accepted John's invitation amidst Bai Qi's surprised gaze. Then, looking at Wells, he said, "But let's discuss the Mingling Gold matter first."

"That's true."

Wells smiled and said, "Both of you are business tycoons, so I won't beat around the bush. This is the amount of Bright Spirit Gold that our Brita family can provide to the outside world each year. We can ensure that we can provide a stable supply based on this amount for the next twenty years, so you don't need to worry about the supply."

"In the past, the Borg family and the Tsukatora Group accounted for 80% of these. This year, due to the Super God Evolution Research Institute, our Brita family has stopped cooperating with those individual investors, but it seems that it is still not enough."

Charles then pushed the documents in front of the two men, saying, "The Tsukatora Group said they only need 10%, so the remaining 90% is for you two."

"As for how to divide the profits, since both of you are here today, let's discuss it face to face. Our Brita family will not make decisions on our own."

He's a cunning old fox after all, trying to shift the blame right now.

Seeing this, Bai Qi secretly gave a thumbs up. On one side was a business partner he had worked with for many years, and on the other side was a newly developed upstart. No matter which side he mistreated, the Britta family would not be able to be a good person.

By passing the buck to them like this, the Britta family will benefit regardless of the outcome, and they won't offend anyone.

This tactic is incredibly sophisticated.

"Ninety percent?"

Zhuge Xu nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He was about to speak with John when John spoke first.

"Now that the Tsukatora Group has given up their share, things are simple."

John Borg smiled and said, "Our Borg family originally owned 50%, and we're willing to contribute 10%, along with the remaining 40%, to the Super God Evolution Research Institute. What do you think?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xu's eyes narrowed, but they were quickly replaced by a smile. He said, "Hahaha... Since Mr. John is so agreeable, it would be a bit unfair for me to keep pestering him. I'll take five, you take four, it's decided."

"it is good."

The two exchanged a smile, shook hands, and reached an agreement. The speed of their agreement surprised even Wells and Charles, who were standing nearby.

However, as the hosts, they would not interfere with the two's decision. Instead, they skillfully took the contract from the side and handed it to the two for confirmation and signature.

"Bai Qi, please sign your name here."

Zhuge Xu patted Bai Qi, who was a little confused, and said.

"Is that all?"

Bai Qi was somewhat bewildered, and like a puppet, he signed the contract under Zhuge Xu's guidance.

I thought it would be a heated debate, but it ended in just a few words. Could this be the legendary return to simplicity?

"Since the discussion has gone so smoothly, how about we have dinner at the Britta family's place? I've already arranged a banquet. You can all rest here tonight, and we can discuss other matters tomorrow. What do you say?"

Wells stood up and extended an invitation to the crowd.

"Alright, let's rest here for the night. Tomorrow, Master Bai Qi and Chairman Zhuge can accompany us to the Borg family."

John nodded slightly and smiled, "Ever since I lost to Master Bai Qi, Dean has been giving it his all."

"That's right. If I have the chance, I would also like to have Master Bai Qi give me some more guidance."

Dean bowed slightly to Bai Qi, exuding an arrogant aristocratic air.

"Uh, no problem, no problem."

Bai Qi's lips twitched. He hated dealing with these kinds of people the most, but now that Zhuge Xu had agreed on his behalf, there was nothing he could do.

"In that case, please follow me."

Wells smiled at the sight and led everyone outside. Bai Qi finally seized the opportunity to approach Zhuge Xu and ask him a question.

"Uncle Zhuge, weren't we supposed to be rushing back? Why did you suddenly agree to go to the Borg family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xu turned his head with a mysterious smile on his face and said, "Of course there's something else. You'll find out when you get there."

Is this another riddle?

Can't you just say it directly?

Seeing this, Bai Qi sighed, becoming even more determined to avoid dealing with merchants in the future.

There's no way around it, it's just too tiring. Doing research is much easier.
