Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 493 The Possibilities of the Dream Combat System

Bai Qi's words reached everyone's ears clearly, but after a long time, no one got up to leave.

Those who can get into Star Machine Academy are certainly not fools. Although they don't think a war will really happen, these principles also apply to the wilderness.

"Very good, then let's begin the formal lesson."

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly, then pulled Bai Yuxiao in front of him and said, "Today we're going to talk about the self-protection of beast tamers in battle, taking this student Bai Yuxiao as an example..."

……

The one-hour practical lesson quickly came to an end, but the beast tamers present were still somewhat reluctant to leave. Some even planned to go to the Beast Tamer Association to take on a couple of missions and give it a try.

"I didn't realize you were so comfortable in the role of a teacher, Bai Qi."

Bai Yuxiao gave Bai Qi a thumbs up, but quickly complained, "But could you please not use me as a teaching case next time? It's embarrassing."

"Okay, I'll try next time."

Bai Qi nodded perfunctorily, leaving Bai Yuxiao speechless.

With that attitude, it would be a miracle if he believed it.

"But Bai Qi, aren't you afraid that no one will come to your class anymore? I think a few people are genuinely scared."

Bai Qiucha asked with some concern.

"It would be better if they really didn't come."

Bai Qi shrugged. He had a selfish reason for doing this today. It would be best if these people could realize the sense of crisis. If not, they could simply not come, which would save him some trouble.

After all, he found teaching classes much more tiring than doing research alone.

"I think this way of teaching is pretty good. Schools in Lingxi City do it the same way, but they're not as strict."

Gu Shan clearly agreed with Bai Qi's educational methods, leaving Bai Yuxiao speechless.

No wonder Dad admires this guy so much; they've been scrambling around since they were kids.

clap clap clap...

Just then, a burst of applause came from the side. Bai Qi looked over and saw a man in a suit leading Xia Xuan toward them.

"Master Bai Qi's lesson has truly broadened my horizons. I think these young beast tamers will be grateful for Master Bai Qi's teachings today."

Xia Ya started by showering Xia Xuan with compliments before introducing himself: "Hello, I'm Xia Xuan's older brother, Xia Ya."

"Brother Xia Xuan?"

Bai Qi understood immediately. He had noticed the strange man next to Xia Xuan before, and now that he saw it, the two did indeed look very alike.

However, compared to Xia Xuan, Xia Ya was noticeably more composed, and more so than Xia Xuan's second brother, Xia Yan.

Xia Ya, the eldest son of the Xia family, is second only to Xia Yi in the Xia Group's current status. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be the future heir to the Xia Group.

"Hello there."

Bai Qi shook hands with Xia Ya, glanced at the six runes on the back of Xia Ya's hand, and said, "Master Xia Ya, is there something you need from me now?"

"Of course, our Xia Group has some projects that we would like to collaborate with the Super God Evolution Research Institute on. I wonder if Master Bai Qi will grant us this opportunity."

Xia smiled and adopted a very humble posture.

"cooperate?"

Bai Qi remained silent upon hearing this, then said, "I don't usually concern myself with these matters. Master Xia, you can always go and talk to my Uncle Zhuge."

"No, no, no, this project is still in the development stage, so it would be best to discuss it with Master Bai Qi."

Xia shook his head and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Why don't we find somewhere else to continue our discussion?"

"Alright."

Bai Qi nodded, greeted Bai Qiucha and the others, and then had Delta teleport them directly to the office on the top floor of the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

"Alright, Master Xia, you can speak now."

Bai Qi sent a message to Zhuge Xu before asking Xia Ya.

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

Xia Ya took out a document and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "Master Bai Qi, I've also been playing the casual game Emerald Dream that you released before. It is indeed a rather perfect world."

"However, I personally think that if this technology could be used for real-world combat simulations, wouldn't it have an even more powerful effect?"

"Real-world dream simulation?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly and said, "I remember the Xia Group launched a combat projection system a long time ago, so why did you suddenly decide to develop a combat dream simulation?"

"While the live-action projection system is good, it is ultimately virtual. Apart from its convenience, its effectiveness in actual combat training is not very good."

Xia Ya shook his head and said, "However, Master Bai Qi, your Jade Dream is different. That kind of realistic dream, if added to a combat system, would definitely be unforgettable."

"I'm sorry, but I said from the beginning that Emerald Dream is a casual and stress-relieving game, and I will not agree to this."

Upon hearing that Xia Ya actually wanted to take over the Emerald Dream, Bai Qi refused without hesitation.

Leaving aside the fact that he has no way to change the Emerald Dream, even if he could, he wouldn't do it.

His teacher had already emphasized to him that rune evolution could easily cause spirit masters and even beast tamers to lose the sense of realism in raising pets.

If a dream-based combat system were added, those who haven't experienced real combat would probably have no way of distinguishing between reality and dreams.

If he manages to train a group of players, the teacher will probably have to expel them from the fold.

"I understand Master Bai Qi's concerns, so the research I proposed is not aimed at ordinary beast tamers, but at the military."

Xia smiled and revealed his true purpose.

"The Federation has been at peace for more than 20 years. Although the ferocious beasts in the wild and the tribes on the border have given the army many opportunities to fight, they are only small-scale wars. Large-scale battles are still very lacking."

"Therefore, I want to use this system to replace large-scale military exercises and achieve better results."

As he spoke, Xia Ya looked at Bai Qi and said, "As a soldier who has been on the front lines for many years, I think you, Master Bai Qi, shouldn't be worried that they can't distinguish between reality and dreams, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi gradually fell silent, while Xia Ya revealed a smug smile.

With the backing of five major conglomerates, the Super God Evolution Research Institute had already given up on the civilian market, so it did not hesitate to choose to cooperate with the military, with whom it had a closer relationship.

As for the Super God Evolution Research Institute, it only needs to provide some technical assistance to establish a relationship with the military, so there's no reason for them to refuse.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Xia Ya's smile froze on his face. He looked at Bai Qi in disbelief, while Xia Xuan, who had remained silent the whole time, revealed a gloating expression.

Did the eldest brother think Bai Qi was like everyone else, someone they could easily manipulate? Even Dad couldn't handle him. The eldest brother was being far too naive.

However, Xia Ya had been in the business world for many years, and he quickly regained his smile, asking, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Bai Qi paused for a moment and said, "Indeed, the combat dream system you mentioned can be very helpful for military training, but I think that such a system can harm the soul and has too many hidden dangers. I personally do not support it."

"Soul damage?"

Xia chuckled inwardly upon hearing this, but maintained a thoughtful expression, saying, "It's just used to replace military exercises, not a regular training device. It shouldn't cause any soul damage, right?"

"If it were a virtual projection system, perhaps not, but a dream system definitely would!"

Bai Qi shook his head. The reason he positioned Jade Dream as a casual game was not only because he couldn't change the outside of Jade Dream, but also because of the direct relationship between dreams and the soul.

As we all know, dreaming is simply the process where some brain cells remain in an excited state during sleep, forming dreams.

In other words, dreaming itself can put a burden on the brain, but this burden is mitigated by the special power of the Emerald Dream.

If he really did develop a dream simulation for war, as Char said, it would definitely not be a good thing for the already exhausted soldiers.

If possible, Bai Qi would like to promote the Jade Dream to them even more, because at least in the dream world, they can get complete relaxation.

"Is that so? That's such a shame..."

Seeing Bai Qi's insistence, Xia Ya's eyes gradually turned cold, but he still wore a fake smile and said, "Then it seems that the Xia Group will have to look for new cooperative projects."

"That's not necessarily true."

Just then, Zhuge Xu suddenly walked in from outside and said with a smile, "Sorry, I didn't want to disturb you because you were having such a serious conversation."

"Chairman Zhuge, it's been a long time."

Xia Ya smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if Chairman Zhuge has any other thoughts on this matter?"

"My opinion? Bai Qi and I agree on this point. Soldiers serving in the military are already exhausted. If they can't even get a proper night's sleep, it's just too miserable."

Zhuge Xu smiled, while Xia Ya's expression gradually turned ugly.

"Chairman Zhuge, are you just teasing me?"

"How could that be? I just thought that the dream combat system you're discussing could be used as an assessment for Spirit Masters and Beast Masters."

"The assessment for Beast Tamers and Spirit Masters?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this, but then he understood.

"That's right, it's an assessment."

Zhuge Xu nodded and said, "With the popularization of Spirit Masters, the number of people who need to take the exam has increased dramatically, and even the association is somewhat overwhelmed."

"If this dream combat system can be used as the first test procedure, it will definitely be able to filter out most of the unqualified people, which will be a great help to the beast tamers in charge of the test."

"As for other side effects, as long as they are strictly regulated and prevented from entering the market, that should be fine. What do you think?"

Zhuge Xu smiled and silently watched the two who were deep in thought.
