Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Bai Qi’s house.

In the spacious courtyard, Bai Qi was engrossed in a six-stage Rubik’s Cube, while at his side, Alpha intently held an ice knife, making arduous impressions on an ice block.

After challenging the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi’s interest in rune knowledge grew substantially. Almost every day, he played with the Rune Rubik’s Cube, which he’d obtained from the ninth floor.

As for Alpha, he had been sent by Bai Qi to practice rune writing, ostensibly to improve his precision control of ice clan skills.

“Phew… finally done.”

After a dazzling series of maneuvers, Bai Qi finally completed the six-stage Rubik’s Cube, immediately, he took out tools to print six brand-new runes, then tossed the impressions to Alpha

“Alpha, change the runes.”

Crisp crackling sounds were heard.

(Okay, boss.)

Alpha obediently took the impressions and began a brand-new carving.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction at the scene, walked over to the ice brick that

Alpha had already carved, picked up a single rune lens, and began to scrutinize

it.

Bright red: fire attribute rune, average quality.

Light green: plant attribute rune, poor quality.

Deep blue: water department rune, perfect quality.

Colorless: failure.

Black: Shadow Department rune, perfect quality!

Bai Qi quietly recorded the attributes and patterns of the runes into his brain before comparing them to the Rune Dictionary that Professor Dong gave him, and then saved them.

“I wonder if these runes can be carved onto weapons. Maybe they could

produce some fantastic effect.

Thinking about the pillars on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a flurry of imagination.

Boom!

An explosion shattered Bai Qi’s reverie. The next thing he knew, a burnt Husky ran out of his designated workshop.

“Stupid dog, didn’t I tell you not to research explosives at home?!” Looking at the messy workshop, Bai Qi’s forehead burned with rage. He caught hold of Husky and gave him a rough shake.

Woof woof…

(Human, let me defend myself!)

Husky struggled to present a Spider Web Ball carved with runes to Bai Qi, successfully diverting his attention.

“Is this an Explosion Rune?”

After careful identification, Bai Qi asked, “When did you learn this?” Because of a bunch of newly obtained mechanical engineering schematics,

Husky was busy organizing data under Bai Qi’s order and should have had no time for developing runes.

Woof!

(Because I’m a genius!)

After being blown away by this rune on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Husky committed it to memory. Over the past few days, he had secretly engraved it onto a Spider Web Ball. The effects were evident from the chaotic state of the workshop.

If Bai Qi hadn’t been foresighted enough to provide Husky with a blast-resistant workshop, the damage wouldn’t have been limited to a few minor things.

However, looking at the explosion’s power earlier, the Blast Power combined with the Explosion Rune exceeded Bai Qi’s expectations.

Incorporating runes into Alpha’s weapons is feasible!

A gleam flashed across Bai Qi’s eyes. He quickly selected several Shadow Department runes from his Mind to test the effects, when he heard an urgent knock on the door.

“As expected, another complaint. Removing the doorbell didn’t really help.” Bai Qi glared at Husky, quickly gathered his thoughts together, and opened the front door.

“Sorry there was an explosion due to a short circuit at home. Someone has been called over to fix it, it won’t infringe on… wait, Zhuge Chen, how come it’s you?”

Halfway through his explanation, Bai Qi noticed that it wasn’t a complaining neighbor at his door, but Zhuge Chen, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Of course I’m here for something.”

Zhuge Chen said, “Right, those explanations of yours were so smooth. What on earth have you been through these days?”

Facing Zhuge Chen’s puzzled look, Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, “It’s a long story, let’s talk inside.”

Zhuge Chen nodded and followed Bai Qi into the yard, only to see Husky controlling the robotic arm to put out a fire and was taken aback.

“Is this the Arctic Ice Wolf I gave you?”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Ahem, I haven’t had time to tell you yet, but after I broke through the second level, I signed a contract with this guy here and made some small modifications…”

You call this a small modification, yet it looks like a half-wolf to me.

And what is your skeleton doing, transitioning into ice sculptures?

Zhuge Chen was a bit dumbfounded. He was gone for just a month, yet so many things had changed.

Does the world of beast masters change so fast?

Seeing Zhuge Chen’s expression, Bai Qi quickly changed the subject, “Oh right, you haven’t told me why you came to see me yet?”

Zhuge Chen snapped back to reality, “Oh, your parents couldn’t reach you, so they called me. They asked me to tell you that they are busy with a new project and won’t have time to contact you for a while.’

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned and then remembered, he rummaged in a corner and finally found his phone which had automatically shut down a long time ago.

Recently obsessed with runes and new mechanical drawings, Bai Qi had completely forgotten about the existence of his phone.

He gave his phone a charge and immediately saw a series of missed calls and messages, part of them were from his parents and the content wasn’t much different from what Zhuge Chen had said.

Most of the remaining messages were from President Qin.

-The professional assessment is in seven days, prepare well and don’t mess up.”

■■Received any messages? There’s a task from the special training side for you, come to the guild so we can discuss it.”

“Where did you run off to? There’s no answer when I knock on your door.”

“Bai Qi, respond as soon as you see this, or else I’m coming to get you.”

“Are you dead? If not, hurry up to the guild!”

The last message was from five minutes ago, judging from Old Qin’s tone, he’d probably kill Bai Qi if he didn’t show up soon.

Why didn’t Old Qin just send someone to fetch him if it’s so urgent?

Bai Qi silently shifted the blame onto President Qin, completely forgetting that he had removed the doorbell and hid in the soundproof room.

“Oh right, your parents found out about you becoming a beast master and were worried you wouldn’t have enough money. So they transferred some money to you and asked me to remind you to check.”

Seeing Bai Qi’s change of expressions, Zhuge Chen said, “Also, my father said thanks to you, the Undead Department Beasts from the Elf House has been selling really well recently. He wants you to be the spokesperson, are you interested?”

“Spokesperson? Why on earth would they choose me?”

Bai Qi was a bit confused, while Zhuge Chen helplessly explained, “You’ve really underestimated your influence. The first to pass through the Lamentation Tower, champion of the Haoli Dojo, and frequent visitor of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance’s mansion, you could now be considered a famous figure in

Gusu City.”

Wait, when did the paparazzi get so efficient, they actually managed to capture all that?!

Keeping a low profile in mind, Bai Qi was about to refuse Zhuge Chen’s goodwill.

“My father said, as long as you’re willing to be a spokesperson, the remuneration is negotiable, but if you’re not willing then he won’t…”

“No problem, when do we sign the contract?

Zhuge Chen: “Are you sure you don’t want to think it over?

Bai Qi shook his head, firmly sticking to his decision.

It had nothing to do with the remuneration, he just wanted to rub salt in his own wounds once more..
