Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 56 Federal Security Logistics Administration

the next day.

Bai Qi arrived at the Beastmaster Association on time. After asking the receptionist, he went to the meeting room. When Bai Qi arrived, President Qin and a tall man in a suit were already inside.

However, for some reason, the two did not exchange any words and just sat there quietly, making Bai Qi, who was originally glad that he was not late, feel a little guilty.

"Bai Qi, you've arrived. Let me introduce you. This is Yi Yu, a special envoy from the Federal Security Logistics Administration."

President Qin pointed to the man and introduced him, "This is Bai Qi."

"Hello, I'm Yi Yu."

Yi Yu stood up, smiled, and extended his hand to Bai Qi, saying, "The name of the Federal Security Logistics Administration is a bit long; we usually call it the Thirteenth Bureau."

This name sounds like something out of a manga. I wonder if their bureau chief is also a one-eyed bald guy.

Hello.

Bai Qi shook Yi Yu's hand, and then took a seat at Chairman Qin's prompting.

"I've already explained the general situation to Bai Qi. Now it's up to you two to discuss the specifics of the transaction."

President Qin clearly had no intention of wasting words and went straight to the point, then leaned back and stopped talking.

Hey, Old Qin, aren't you going to help me bargain?

You said you could name any price, but at least give me a demonstration first.

At least tell me what the Federal Security Logistics Administration is.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately gave Chairman Qin a wink, but Chairman Qin seemed not to notice, remaining unmoved no matter how much Bai Qi strained his eyelids.

"Hmm, you don't mind if I just call you Bai Qi, do you?"

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Yi Yu smiled warmly and said, "Bai Qi, you don't need to be nervous. I'm here today on behalf of the Thirteenth Bureau to make a deal with you, not the Federation, so just relax."

Can I say that I'm a bit of a coward because of this 13th Bureau?

Seeing that Bai Qi remained silent, Yi Yu spoke first, saying, "Before I came here, I learned about your situation. You are a first-year student majoring in mechanical weapons at Star Machinery Academy. On May 6th of this year, at 5:34 PM, you awakened your talent and formed a contract with a mutated skeleton soldier, a necromancer-type pet beast."

Are these guys checking household registrations? They even check how many points a talent has been awakened?

Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's right."

After Yi Yu finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, it's just a professional habit of mine to do some extra research, but it's also to make it easier to do business with you, Bai Qi. I hope you don't mind."

Can I say no?

Bai Qi shook his head, and Yi Yu continued, "Considering your current development path, I have provided you with two transaction options."

"The first option is that the Thirteenth Bureau can provide you with a legendary material and all the illustrations for mechanical items up to the legendary level. However, the key to the Tower of Lamentation and the right to explore it must belong entirely to the Thirteenth Bureau. Bai Qi, neither you nor anyone in your association can enter the Tower of Lamentation to explore it until the Thirteenth Bureau reopens it."

Old Qin was right. This federal agency is indeed rich. They came up with a legendary material and a mechanical system encyclopedia right away. They are indeed very wealthy.

Leaving aside the value of legendary materials, the complete encyclopedia entries for this legendary mechanical-type material alone are invaluable.

Simply put, with this information, Bai Qi can manufacture all mechanical weapons except for the Federation's core weapons, provided the funds are in place.

Trading a Secret Realm Tower of unknown value for a legendary material and a mechanical-type encyclopedia entry sounds like a good deal.

Bai Qi remained silent for a while, then looked at Yi Yu again and said, "What about the other one?"

Yi Yu's lips curled slightly as he said, "The second option is that the Thirteenth Bureau can still provide you with a legendary material, but we cannot provide the relevant illustrations for the mechanical type. The key belongs to the Thirteenth Bureau, and Mr. Bai Qi, you still have the right to explore the Tower of Lamentation, but you need to let the Thirteenth Bureau explore it for three days first."

"In exchange for a Mysterious Tower of unknown value and a legendary material and Mechanical-type illustration data, I personally suggest that you choose the first option, Bai Qi."

"After all, even the Beastmaster Association doesn't have some of the illustrated information on mechanical types."

President Qin remained silent upon hearing this. The Mechanical Engineering Department was key to humanity's ability to contend with the Beast Tribes, so some core knowledge was held by the Federation. Yi Yu's words were not unfounded.

Seeing Chairman Qin's appearance, Bai Qi believed Yi Yu's words and, after thinking for a moment, came to a conclusion.

"I choose the second option."

"However, I need to change one condition."

In the past, Bai Qi would definitely have chosen the first option.

Just thinking about how Luo Xiang had specially taken him to learn about runes and told him to study hard, Bai Qi always felt that the value of the Tower of Lamentation must be far beyond his imagination.

The attitude of the 13th Bureau is the best proof.

Yi Yu nodded and said, "Sure, we're discussing a deal right now, so feel free to share your thoughts."

"I need a legendary material that is either undead or spatial, but I can't give up my three-day advance exploration rights."

The Thirteenth Bureau belongs to the Federation and is specifically responsible for handling these kinds of matters. Giving them three days to explore would be too late.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Legendary-grade materials of the spatial type are too rare, and I cannot grant it with my authority. I can help you apply for materials of the necromancy type. As for the three-day exploration rights, I'm sorry, this is the bottom line of the Thirteenth Bureau, and I cannot back down."

Seeing Yi Yu's resolute attitude, Bai Qi fell silent.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that both of them had fallen silent, President Qin finally stepped forward and said, "How about this: the Federation will still have priority exploration rights for three days, but the Federation will also provide some mechanical-type encyclopedia data?"

Yi Yu was silent for a moment before raising his head and saying, "Then let's do as President Qin says. However, I can only give you the mechanical system's encyclopedia data up to level four. That should be fine, right?"

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Chairman Qin had lived many more years than him, so he must know the ins and outs better. Listening to him was definitely the right thing to do.

As for what will be left after three days, that's up to fate.

It's a bit of a shame that I couldn't get all the mechanical-type encyclopedia entries before the legendary level, but the entries before the fourth tier are enough for now.

One shouldn't be too ambitious or unrealistic.

"This memory card contains all the mechanical-type illustrations for the first four tiers. As for the legendary-level undead-type materials, I'll apply for them later, but it may take some time."

Seeing that Bai Qi agreed, Yi Yu took out a memory card and handed it to Bai Qi, while Bai Qi took out a key that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Yi Yu.

"Then, the deal is done."

Yi Yu smiled and took the key, putting it away. He said, "Six days from now, please have Chairman Qin clear the area around the Tower of Lamentation. Our Thirteenth Bureau will arrive on time to take it over."

"Okay, see you out."

President Qin responded casually and then instructed his secretary to escort Yi Yu out.

"President, why do I get the feeling you're a little unhappy with this person?"

After Yi Yu left, Bai Qi finally asked the question that had been bothering him.

"I'm not so much annoyed as I am, I just don't want to have too much contact with this lunatic."

"You're crazy, this looks perfectly normal!"

Bai Qi was puzzled, but Chairman Qin said seriously, "That's because anyone who saw him in an abnormal state was sent to the federal prison."

"If you don't want him watching you every day, you'd better keep your distance from him."

Oh my god, so he's a stalker. I definitely need to be careful.
