YM778.TV Chapter 272 - 268:1 became an Undead Department lecturer?
Had he, lost?
Lost to the six high-grade elite creatures?
So, what had he been working on all these days?
Lu Yuan instantly became disheartened, and the Dark Flame Tiger King began to doubt its life, looking at the Six Sword Servants with the same regard one might give a lord, no, a king-level creature.
“Bai Qi, are these pets of yours all new evolution types?”
Seeing the competition nearing its end, Duanmeng took the stage, “They seem a little different from the usual evolution types, don’t they?”
At Duanmeng’s words, Lu Yuan instantly perked up, his ears standing on end as he carefully listened to the two men’s conversation.
Bai Qi seeing this, understood, “Correct, these creatures were produced in the early stages of the experiment. Their attributes are stronger than normal evolution types, but unfortunately the risk is too high, essentially impossible to replicate.”
So, they were special products?
Hearing this, Lu Yuan felt some relief, and Duanmeng smoothly transitioned into teaching mode.
“We all saw the battle just now. Although the Dark Flame Tiger King’s level was higher than its enemies, it overlooked their attributes and teamwork, underestimated its opponents, and didn’t even use its skills properly. Most importantly, as an undead creature, it was surprisingly easily ambushed by a shadow creature. One might say, the outcome of the battle was determined from the start.”
Hearing Duanmeng’s words, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought. True, he had been with the mindset of a cat toying with a mouse in the battle, wanting to display the strength of the Dark Flame Tiger King. He hadn’t expected to lose so miserably. If he had been more serious, he wouldn’t have been so easily ambushed by the Six Sword Servants.
“I understand many of you runic evolution users prefer the easier leveling method, but this means you can spend more time in training. Not to mention, runic evolution provides additional bonuses to certain skills. So, I hope all of you can reflect after today. Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
All the students echoed together, their eyes towards Bai Qi reflected a different emotion.
Put simply, they looked at him with the eyes of students looking at their teacher.
“Alright, let’s end today’s training here, everyone goback,”
Seeing that everyone understood his point, Duanmeng nodded with satisfaction, then dismissed the students. Although Lu Yuan had words he wanted to say to Bai Qi, seeing the four rune marks on Bai Qi’s hand, he held his tongue.
So, that guy who used to fight in weird ways had already become a Four Stage Beast Master. He felt proud to have reached Three Stage himself.
As expected, there were always people better off. He had to work even harder!
With those thoughts, Lu Yuan quickly left the stage, but didn’t leave the dojo, instead heading for the training ground on the side.
“Good, knowing one’s shame and striving to improve.”
Duanmeng nodded slightly, then turned to Bai Qi’s Six Sword Servants, “Bai Qi, what is the story with these six pets of yours?”
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly at the question, “Sorry, my teacher told me not to say much.”
“Bai Chuanqi, right? Alright, then I won’t ask.”
Having heard it was Bai Heguang’s idea, Duanmeng didn’t pry further about the Six Sword Servants, although he couldn’t help reminding them, considering their earlier performance.
“These six pets have considerable potential. If trained properly, they might not be any weaker than your other pets. You mustn’t waste their talents.”
“Thankyou for the reminding, Master Duan. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Bai Qi nodded. The Six Sword Servants were now considered to be vassals of Alpha, and as long as Alpha levelled up, they would receive benefits. Moreover, Alpha spent most of his spare time training with the Six Sword Servants, so Bai Qi didn’t need to worry too much.
“By the way, Master Duan, what’s the deal with that Undead Department instructor?”
Now that there was no one around, Bai Qi finally asked the question that had been puzzling him. Duanmeng simply smiled back, “Didn’t we just mention it? It was Bai Chuanqi’s decision. I must say, it’s rare for Bai Chuanqi to take such an interest in someone. You’re really lucky.”
Duanmeng’s words only added to Bai Qi’s confusion, but Duanmeng didn’t seem bothered, continuing to explain.
“Do you know what the outside world currently thinks of you?”
Bai Qi shook his head. He had been focused on studying in the recent days and hadn’t paid much attention to the outside world.
“There are currently two main opinions. The first is admiring, calling you things like ‘rising star’ and so on. The second leans towards questioning, hurling accusations like ‘fool’s gold’, ‘puppet’, and all kinds of nerve-wracking ones.”
“So, my teacher wants me to become an instructor in the Undead Department to dispel these rumors myself?”
Bai Qi understood the moment he said his guesses out loud. Duanmeng nodded approvingly, “Exactly, that’s what Bai Chuanqi is thinking. We agreed to this idea for the same reason.”
“But be prepared, there are bound to be those who will try to prove you wrong. If handled improperly, it will all be for naught.”
“Understood.”
Bai Qi nodded. Anyone who wanted to cause trouble could just be beaten up. Among Beast Masters, was there a more effective way of disciplining than beating up?
“Alright, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t hold you up any longer. If you are free today, you should go to the school and coordinate your schedule for both sides.”
At Duanmeng’s words, Bai Qi remembered his Mecha Martial Arts specialization classes, and his face fell instantly.
On one hand, I needed to be a committed student at the Mechanical Engineering Department, on the other hand, I needed to teach others at the Undead Department. Plus, I couldn’t abandon my pet training. It seemed like time was never enough.
Tsk, I suddenly envied those who could shadow-clone, they never had to worry about being shorthanded,
After Duanmeng left first, Zhuge Chen took Bai Qi on a tour of the layout of the Wuhou Dojo, then they returned to the Elf House.
“That’s enough for today. There are many matters you need to attend to, you better set off immediately.”
“Alright, remember to contact me if anything happens to Garulu.”
Bai Qi nodded, then called for Delta, hopped onto the Wind God Winged Dragon under the stunned gaze of Zhuge Chen, and said, “Then, I’ll leave first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wind God Winged Dragon vanished into the horizon, leaving everyone in awe.
Did that pet just transform?
And why does it look so much like the Wind God Winged Dragon from the ancient creature books?
At the Star Mechanics Academy.
Riding on the Wind God Winged Dragon, Bai Qi carefully avoided the glances of students and found a corner to land. Then he confidently headed straight for the Mechanical Engineering Department’s building.
“Indeed, having a flying mount is fantastic.”
With a smile on his face, Bai Qi relished the thrill of not having to deal with traffic jams. He hummed a little tune all the way and quickly arrived at Professor Chu’s office.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Come in.”
Bai Qi gently knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from inside, he gingerly pushed open the door.
“You arrived at the right time, help me pass that metal box from the floor.”
Seeing Bai Qi enter, an elderly man commanded him without even looking up, and Bai Qi proficiently picked up the metal box and placed it under an instrument in front of the old man.
“Professor Chu, are you studying some new weapon again?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s voice, Professor Chu finally raised his head. He looked somewhat confusedly at Bai Qi, “Bai Qi? Weren’t you on intense training? Why are you back all of a sudden…”
“Ehm, Professor Chu, I’ve been in training for more than two months…”
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his eye, Professor Chu was as timeliness as ever. This was rather unusual in a group of mechanical engineers, who valued precision.
Fortunately, Professor Chu wasn’t entirely obtuse, he quickly snapped back to reality.
“You kid, you’ve been stealing the limelight recently. Three consecutive core patents, you’re catching up with me.”
Professor Chu adjusted his reading glasses, “But, you are a mechanical engineer, why are all of your patents Rune-based? Aren’t you stoking the ego of Old Lady Dong?”
Hearing Professor Chu’s words, a spark of curiosity ignited in Bai Qi’s eyes.
It seemed Professor Dong also expressed discontent towards Professor Chu previously. There was a story between those two-
“Forget it, since you are back, just study hard and try to get a pure mechanical patent.”
Professor Chu eyed Bai Qi, saying, “Your Rune mechanical layout technique indeed shows great promise, perhaps it could be the breakthrough for advancing the Mechanical Department. But if you want to design a more rational layout, you must master the knowledge of mechanical engineering.”
“I understand.”
Bai Qi nodded. The Star Mechanics Academy was not just the number one Mechanical Engineering institution in the Federation; it taught far beyond textbook knowledge. There were many invaluable insights to glean, especially from Professor Chu, who had designed a great deal of commonly used machinery in the Federation. His strength was indisputable.
“Speaking of which, you have an Arctic Ice Wolf with integrated mechanical parts, right?”
Bai Qi nodded, “Correct. Is there a problem?”
“Problem? Of course, there’s a problem!”
Professor Chu nodded, “Installing mechanical weapons on living creatures has always been a significant challenge for us mechanical engineers. Others may neglect it, but how could I not see that your Arctic Ice Wolf has completely integrated with the machinery?”
Wow, he almost forgot about this matter, yet Professor Chu still remembered it.
“I’m not clear about how you did it, but I suggest you invest some time into further research. If you can find a method of mass application, it would greatly benefit the Federation!”
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi understood. After installing mechanical weapons on ordinary pets, their combat strength could undoubtedly be significantly enhanced. Especially since he had developed Rune mechanics, it was even more relevant.
However, the case of Schuck Beta was extraordinary, and the major role that the Evolution Egg played made it difficult to replicate.
“Rest assured, I have conducted some research in this area as well. You can ask me if you have any questions.”
Professor Chu gave a heavy pat on Bai Qi’s shoulder, “Remember, you must get a patent related to Mechanical Engineering. Else, it would be truly embarrassing for me!”
