Chapter 13: If you want to evolve, you have to play with the beast
After learning the source of Alpha's abnormal behavior, Wu Lan and the other two's interest not only did not decrease, but became even more intense. After getting Bai Qi's consent, they went straight to work.
"Bai Qi, is it really possible to perform mechanical transformation on a non-mechanical beast?"
Gao Cheng was not a student of Xingji Academy, but he knew the difference between mechanical beast taming and traditional beast taming. He was quite surprised to see Bai Qi actually modifying his own skeleton.
Bai Qi shrugged, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "I can't say for sure. After all, I only made some purely mechanical modifications, which did not involve the energy system."
“I see.”
Gao Cheng seemed to be thinking about something. He glanced at his fire scorpion and some other ideas came to his mind.
"Bai Qi, can you help me see if my Fire Armor Scorpion can also be transformed?"
He has failed the professional beastmaster assessment three times, and the strength of his pet has recently reached a bottleneck. Now that he sees Alpha as a living example, he naturally doesn't want to miss it.
"Uh, I guess not."
Seeing Gao Cheng's expectant look, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a headache.
He was able to modify Alpha because the skeletons of skeleton-type beastmasters, especially low-level skeleton soldiers like Alpha, could be disassembled and assembled freely, so it was not difficult.
However, it is much more difficult to transform a beast like the Fire Armor Scorpion, which has both insect and fire attributes.
At least, Bai Qi didn't think that ordinary steel could withstand the high temperature of the Fire Armor Scorpion.
Gao Cheng's face darkened, but soon returned to normal, saying, "Yes, if it were possible, someone would have done it a long time ago."
"But you are still amazing, Senior. You can even think of modifying the undead beast with machinery."
Wu Lan seemed to have become Bai Qi's little fan girl and was not stingy with her praise for Bai Qi, but she soon revealed her true thoughts.
"If my second beast is also a skeleton-type, can you help me transform it as well, senior?"
Before Bai Qi could respond, Gao Cheng interrupted and said, "My personal suggestion is that you should not train across departments. After all, a person's energy is limited, and being distracted too much will not do any good."
Gao Cheng's words were not groundless. Most beastmasters in the Federation basically specialized in training one race, and the occasional few were basically auxiliary beastmasters.
For example, the legendary title "Minghuang" that has been widely circulated recently is specialized in undead pets, and the selection of each pet is carefully considered.
After all, a beastmaster's energy and financial resources are limited, and it is impossible to take good care of every pet. Basically, training revolves around one or two main pets.
It is actually quite irrational for someone like Wu Lan to choose to make a contract with a pet that has nothing to do with her main pet just because she worships an idol.
After Gao Cheng's earnest teachings, Wu Lan and others fell into deep thought.
Seeing the looks on their faces, Bai Qi didn't know how to interrupt, so he could only concentrate on eating and soon finished his third lunch box.
"Huh~ I'm finally full."
Bai Qi rubbed his stomach, looked at the sun hanging high above his head, picked up the bottle of mineral water beside him and took a sip.
"In this damn weather, even the water has been heated up?"
This water was also provided by the staff, but it was heated by the sun after being left outside for a while.
"Senior, are you feeling too hot? Do you want my Ice Crystal Toad to help you?"
Hearing Bai Qi's complaint, Han Jian immediately summoned out his ice crystal toad. The temperature around him suddenly dropped, and Bai Qi poured mineral water on the ice crystal toad without any hesitation.
"Um?"
As soon as Bai Qi's hand touched the ice crystal toad, he couldn't help but exclaimed. Han Jian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, senior? Did you get frostbitten?"
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, I just think your Ice Crystal Toad is really convenient. It has its own air conditioner."
Han Jian grinned and said , "My parents asked someone to help me catch this ice crystal toad from Taibing Lake. It is also a high-level elite."
"Tsk, it's like everyone's pet isn't an elite."
As soon as Han Jian finished speaking, Wei Ze couldn't help but retort, and Wu Lan on the side immediately put down the lunch box in her hand and started to persuade them to stop fighting.
Judging from his business proficiency, he must have done this kind of thing a lot.
But Bai Qi was not in the mood to care about these things.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Black Iron 5%)
[Status]: Activated
Since being activated, the progress of the Evolution Egg has not changed. Bai Qi was planning to go to the Hill of the Dead to verify whether it was related to the Undead Beast Tamer. He didn't expect that it would change again today.
What is the reason?
Bai Qi glanced at the Ice Crystal Toad, pretended to take back the mineral water and touched it again.
There was no change in the progress, but Bai Qi did not give up and set his sights on other beasts.
"Brother Gao, can you let me see your Fire Armor Scorpion?"
Gao Cheng was a little confused when he heard this, but he still let the Fire Scorpion crawl in front of Bai Qi.
"Why, is there any problem ?"
Bai Qi said: "Nothing, I just felt a little cold, so I wanted to use the Fire Armor Scorpion to warm myself up."
“…”
Gao Cheng remained silent upon hearing this, but did not stop Bai Qi.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Black Iron 10%)
[Status]: Activated
Sure enough, it increased by another 5 percent!
Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he roughly guessed the method to upgrade the Evolution Egg, which was to touch the pet with his own hands.
However, after activating the golden finger, he often went to Zhuge Chen's place to pet cats and dogs, but there was no prompt about the evolution egg?
From this perspective, not just any pet can be used.
Bai Qi turned his gaze to the remaining two people and made up an excuse to contact their pets.
Wu Lan's charcoal fire snake did not provide any progress to the evolution egg, only Wei Ze's emerald green centipede provided 3% progress.
Sure enough, if you want to evolve, you have to pet the beast!
The higher the racial level, the more progress it provides?
Moreover, it seems to be related to racial attributes?
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and had a rough guess in his mind, but soon he began to have a headache again.
If the Evolution Egg wants to improve its progress, it must be touched personally. The easiest way is to contact the contracted Beastmaster.
But if he really did that, he would probably be thrown into Arkham Institution for Talented People tomorrow.
As for wild pets, forget about it. Low-level ones are probably useless, and high-level ones are quite intelligent. Going up to them rashly will only cause hostility.
It seems a bit troublesome~
Bai Qi looked at the cracks that appeared again on the Evolution Egg and sighed helplessly.
Can't there be a simpler way to evolve?
