Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 534 The Twelve Zodiac Guardian Beasts

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

A week has passed since Bai Qi returned to Gusu City. He has recovered from the tense atmosphere in the tribe, and Nicholas has returned to his position as a helper dragon.

It no longer stays at its workstation year-round as before, but instead comes out periodically to clean up the surviving creatures, and spends the rest of its time exploring the Emerald Dream to seek the power of the Green Dragon's bloodline.

Although Nicholas mastered the power of his own legendary dragon with the help of Bai and Guang, he still felt the inadequacy of his own power after acquiring the two demigod dragons, Aletta and Aqua. So he began to train continuously after returning.

As for Bai Qi, at the request of both the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association, he devoted himself entirely to the research on the evolution of bonds.

While both involve awakening the Bond Seal, the significance would be entirely different if the Federation had a stable, artificial means to facilitate this process.

As long as the number of Spirit Masters with awakened bonds can be steadily increased, even if the number is low, it will definitely be higher than that of the tribes. Combined with the series of evolution systems of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, the Federation will definitely be able to take a significant lead over the tribes.

In that case, even if the tribes really intend to go to war with the Federation, the situation will be very different from before.

"Phew~ That's all I can do for now."

Looking at the increasingly perfected Bond Evolution System in front of him, Bai Qi stretched and said, "Shuke, encrypt this data and send it to Uncle Zhuge. Please ask him to pass it on to the Thirteenth Bureau."

"learn."

Shuke's voice came from the AI ​​next to him, and then the virtual projections in front of Bai Qi were saved and encrypted one by one and then transmitted to Zhuge Xu.

"By the way, how's Black and White doing now?"

Bai Qi stood up and stretched, then asked.

"He adapted very quickly and is now learning modern mechanical technology."

Shuk paused for a moment, then said, "However, he doesn't seem to have much talent for modern mechanical technology."

"No talent?"

Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, and asked, "Where is he now?"

"He is currently studying basic programming in the archives."

Shuke projected Hei Bai's current location, and just as Shuke had said, Hei Bai was diligently studying a basic programming book. However, judging from the messy drafts scattered around him, he must be having a very difficult time learning it.

"I was just about to ask about the Twin Sky Mech, so I might as well check it out on the way."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, and then headed straight for the archives room with practiced ease.

Archives.

"Just by inputting some runes, these cold machines can gain their own intelligence? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?"

He forcefully closed the basic programming book, once again confirming that he was indeed not suited to learning programming.

In comparison, runes are simpler.

"Black and white, how does knowledge feel a thousand years from now?"

Seeing Hei Bai's appearance, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle. He walked to Hei Bai's side and said...

"It's very strong, but I'm sure I can't learn it."

Hei Bai shook his head and said, "However, other fields like materials science and engineering are indeed very inspiring to me. Perhaps I can make some improvements to the Twin Sky Mech."

"Perfect timing, I was just about to talk to you about this."

Bai Qi smiled and then looked at the factory area of ​​the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

Within the factory area, a colossal black and white twin tower stands tall.

Because the Black and White Secret Realm was destroyed by Aqua, the Twin Towers could no longer be hidden as before, so Bai Qi simply placed the Black and White Twin Towers in the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to make Black and White pay off their debts... cough cough, to help the Super God Evolution Research Institute master the mecha technology of the Fa Emperor era.

To date, Black and White have helped the Super God Evolution Research Institute solve many rune-related problems and have also enriched the institute's rune library.

However, Black and White refused to do anything else.

For example, the Twin Sky Mech.

"If you've come to ask me for the Twin Sky Mech, I can't agree to that."

Hei Bai looked at Bai Qi and said, "According to the old man Fa Di's requirements, only those who successfully pass the test can obtain the Twin Heaven Mechs, so unless we encounter a ferocious beast attacking the city, I will not release the Twin Heaven Mechs."

"This request... really means they didn't intend for anyone to bring it out."

Bai Qi's lips twitched. After learning about Hei Bai's requirements, Bai Qi planned to farm the Twin Heaven Mechs several more times to get them, but he was told that this was a first-clear reward and that others could forget about it.

"But I'm not here to ask you for the Twin Sky Mechs."

Bai Qi patted Black and White, then led it to the secret realm of the grassland.

At this moment, the grassland secret realm was piled high with the second batch of materials that had just been delivered from the logistics department of the 13th Bureau, while Shuke was controlling a bunch of engineering robots busy with something.

Bai Qi led Hei Bai closer and saw Shu Ke assembling a huge mechanical bull.

Beside this mechanical bull, an equally enormous mechanical rat and a mechanical tiger had already been assembled.

Mechanical Zodiac Guardian Beasts – that's what Shuke has been researching lately.

The battles at sea made Shuke realize the limitations of the Mechanical Lord. It might be enough to handle some small-scale battles, but when faced with large creatures like sea monsters or those that are too powerful, the Mechanical Lord is clearly not up to the task.

However, Shuke also discovered that he could unleash even greater combat power when he controlled other machines as a mechanical lord.

As for why it was made into the twelve zodiac animals that Bai Qi had shown in the cordyceps' memories, Shu Ke explained that the characteristics of these twelve zodiac animals are very comprehensive, which is better than simply warships, chariots and the like.

Moreover, the beast-like appearance is more suitable for fighting in the wild.

However, before Shuke's first unit could achieve anything, it was slapped away by Christine, and now Shuke is struggling with a new modification plan.

"You called me here because you want me to help you modify these mechanical beasts, right? I'm sorry, I can't even understand programming, so I can't help you with that."

Hei Bai immediately guessed Bai Qi's thoughts and refused without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I don't intend for you to help with the programming. I just want you and Shuke to research how to combine rune mecha technology with modern mechanical technology to create a brand new mecha."

Bai Qi and Shu Ke exchanged a glance and said, "We can leave the mechanical parts, including the programming, to Shu Ke. As for the soul issue, Shu Ke has the ability to awaken the soul, so there's no need to worry. As long as the body is completed, everything else will be easy to solve."

"A fusion of runic mechs and modern machinery...?"

Upon hearing this, Hei Bai immediately became interested. He was able to be taken by the Emperor of Law to design various mechs and build secret realms, so he was naturally a research-oriented person. After Bai Qi said this, his research desire was immediately aroused.

Seeing Hei Bai's expression, Bai Qi smiled with satisfaction and immediately pressed his advantage, throwing out his trump card.

"Furthermore, I have an unknown metal here that you need to study. If you succeed, you might be able to create a true metal life form."

As he spoke, Bai Qi took out the Death Metal and displayed all of its special abilities.

At first, Hei Bai was just surprised, but after hearing that he could absorb the power of death, Hei Bai agreed to Bai Qi's request without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll help you figure it out!"

Fighting the power of death was the lifelong goal of the Fadi. If he could really create it, it would be considered as fulfilling the old man's long-cherished wish.

"Then it's up to you!"

Bai Qi grinned, then took out the Tai Sui Gold and the previous research results from the Super God Evolution Research Institute, and handed them to Hei Bai, saying, "Here is our research data so far. You can use it for reference. As for this Tai Sui Gold, I suspect it is an important fusion agent for this Death Metal. You can give it a try."

"As for the vice dean position you requested, I've already taken care of it for you. You can mobilize everything within the Super God Evolution Research Institute."

Hearing Bai Qi's series of promises, Hei Bai nodded solemnly and said, "In that case, I guarantee I will produce results that will satisfy you!"

"No rush, slow and steady wins the race."

Bai Qi nodded. He was still hoping to have Hei Bai help him design the Secret Realm Tower in the future, so he couldn't exhaust the resources.

"While your designs are very realistic, if you're going to make them into beast forms, you should at least incorporate some of the spirit and energy that the corresponding creature should have, right?"

"Aside from their appearance, these things of yours are basically no different from other mechanical beasts."

Black and White were extremely efficient at their work, instantly immersing themselves in their new identity and immediately offering their opinions.

"Energy and spirit? Doesn't that require merging with the soul of a ferocious beast?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. The Twin Towers were formed by the Dharma Emperor using a similar rune array, which allowed the Twin Heaven Mechs to incorporate ferocious beast martial souls, but it could not be used for other purposes.

So unless Bai Qi can completely master the Twin Towers, there is no hope.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Although I don't know what the Enlightenment of your Mechanical Engineering Department is all about, when the old man Fadi is building mechs, he will specifically select the souls of ferocious beasts, and even add the corresponding ferocious beast body materials to the mech materials."

Hei Bai shook his head and said, "According to the old man, the soul and the body are inseparable, so adding the body tissues of ferocious beasts, such as bones and skin, can better unleash the corresponding energy."

"That makes some sense."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly understood. Simply put, if he wanted to create a mechanical bull, it would be best to add some bones of bovine beasts to the mechanical bull, or even better, directly insert a soul into it.

However, for now, there's nothing that can be done about the soul, but the body tissues can be dealt with.

"Then you guys start the design, I'll go and take care of the materials right away."

Black and White nodded and said, "You don't need to be in a hurry. After the design is completed, we still need to study the death metal you mentioned. You can take your time to find it."

"However, the stronger the target creature, the better."

"I understand."

Bai Qi patted his chest vigorously to assure them, but his expression suddenly froze when he thought of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac.

The dragon in the Chinese zodiac is the Eastern dragon, and the only known Eastern dragons are Granny Fan and Delta.

There's no need to even think about Granny Fan; Bai Qi suspects that if he dares to speak up, Granny Fan will simply throw him back into the tribe.

and so……

Only Delta?
