Chapter 228 Family Brotherhood
Seeing Bai Qi's surprised expression, Bai's mother couldn't help but laugh, then she quickly stepped forward and carefully examined Bai Qi for a while, while constantly muttering: "My dear son, how have you been recently? Are you in a relationship? Why have you gained so much weight? Are you lazy in your studies?..."
The series of questions made Bai Qi laugh and cry. He pushed away Bai's mother's hand and said, "Mom, can you take a breath first? If not, I want to take a breath first."
Luo Zhu rolled his eyes in annoyance when he heard this and said, "Stinky boy, I haven't seen you for a few months and you've already learned to be a chatterbox."
Bai Qi grinned and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, mom. It's a rare opportunity for me to tease you a little."
Luo Zhu smiled, patted his head, and said with emotion: "In just a few months, you have grown so tall."
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, and looked himself up and down, only then did he realize that he was indeed a lot taller than before.
"It should be caused by the feedback from the pet after the upgrade."
Because of the Evolution Egg, he had to push his physique to the maximum to be promoted each time, so his physical fitness was obviously stronger than that of the Beast Tamers of the same level, but he didn't really notice that he had grown taller.
"That's right, your Beast Tamers' physical fitness will indeed be better after upgrading."
Luo Zhu nodded and said, "I heard from Xiao Ke that you have already reached the fourth level? You are worthy of being my son, you are really amazing!"
"Xiao Ke?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this and unconsciously looked at Lan Ke who was standing beside him.
In this office, the person whose name contains "Ke" seems to be Lan Ke, right?
Does my mother know Blue Legend?
Thinking of this, Bai Qi became more and more certain of his guess that he was a second-generation person, and he had already started to think about what kind of hush money he should ask his parents for.
Well, even the legend is called Xiao Ke, so it’s not too much to ask for one or two legendary resources.
"Bai Qi, be polite."
Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Bai Yan frowned and said, "You are now affiliated with the association, so you should at least call me Master Lan."
"I'm sorry, Lord Blue."
Bai Qi immediately gave in when he saw this. Although both were researchers, his father and mother had very different personalities. Although they were not rigid, they could be considered strict.
Lan Ke smiled slightly when she saw this and said, "Senior Bai, you are still as strict as ever. Bai Qi Ke is really nothing like you."
"That's right. My son is so smart, so he must be like me. If he is like Bai Yan, he must be a piece of rotten wood."
Luo Zhu raised his head proudly upon hearing this. Bai Yan was about to retort, but after seeing Luo Zhu's gaze, he held back his words in disappointment.
The position of the younger brother in the family is evident.
"By the way, mom, you haven't told me why you are here? Aren't you researchers from the foundation? When did you join the association?"
Luo Zhu shook his head and said, "We haven't joined the association, but our consortium has cooperation with the association. Today I am on a business trip, so I just happened to come and see an old acquaintance."
Luo Zhu pointed at Lan Ke and said, "We were famous good sisters in school, but Lan Ke later became a legend and I became a researcher, so we rarely met."
Bai Qi suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. It turned out that his mother actually had such connections, and judging from the looks of it, the relationship between the two seemed to be pretty good?
"So, Dad and Mom, how long are you going to stay here this time?"
Bai Yan said: "We are just here to get some materials. We will leave after confirming everything is correct. However, we heard from Lord Lan that you happened to be in the Tower of Knowledge, so we called you over."
So if he wasn't here, you wouldn't have called him over?
What a dad!
"Son, don't listen to your father. It will take several days to extract the ancient biological embryos. There is no way we can leave so soon."
Luo Zhu glared at Bai Yan fiercely, then looked at Bai Qi lovingly and said, "I finally have the chance to spend time with my precious son. I don't want to go back so early. You can go back by yourself if you want."
Bai Yan opened his mouth when he heard this, but finally sighed helplessly, while Bai Qi gave him a sympathetic look, then approached Luo Zhu with an obedient face and said, "That's great, I'll take you to see my four pets, oh, by the way, I also met a legendary dragon."
"Legendary dragon?!"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Luo Zhu's eyes suddenly shone with a strange brilliance, and he said, "What kind of dragon is it? How long has it lived? Are you familiar with it, son? Can you give me some of its body tissue? It doesn't have to be much, just a little bit of blood, skin, scales, flesh, and internal organs."
Looking at his mother who instantly entered working mode, Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly.
Scales and such are fine, but also flesh and internal organs. My mom is used to dissecting frogs in the laboratory, and now she even wants to dissect dragons?
Suddenly I regretted mentioning Nicholas...
"Luo Zhu, that's a legendary creature, not your experimental subject, so don't worry about it."
Lan Ke seemed to be a little troubled by Luo Zhu's behavior and said, "It just so happens that Bai Qi doesn't have to attend the training recently, so let Bai Qi take you and Senior Bai to visit the headquarters. I still have to preside over some daytime mecha analysis matters, so I don't have time to accompany you for the time being ."
"All right."
Hearing Lan Ke's words, Luo Zhu sighed in disappointment, and Bai Yan finally found his chance to speak. He straightened his face and said, "No need for training? Could it be that Bai Qi, you performed too poorly and were kicked out of the training?"
"Um, Dad, can you have a little confidence in your son?"
Bai Qi looked at Bai Yan speechlessly and said, "I am now also a member of the analysis team. The president specially approved that I don't have to participate in the training."
"Analysis team? You?"
Bai Yan looked at Bai Qi with some surprise, as if he could not connect these things with Bai Qi at all.
"You two are such incompetent parents."
Lan Ke showed a rare helpless look on her face when she saw this, and said, "Bai Qi has already obtained the ownership of a rune core patent, and has made further research results in this regard. I have already sent out the patent application documents this morning, and there will be results soon."
"And if nothing unexpected happens, Bai Qi should soon have a core patent in the mechanical field."
Bai Yan: “…”
Luo Zhu: “…”
After a long time, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu finally recovered from their shock and looked at Bai Qi in front of them with complicated eyes.
Although the two had never treated Bai Qi unfairly financially, they did lack some care for him. In other words, Bai Qi had been independent since childhood and had never caused them much trouble.
But they could never have imagined that their son would cause so much trouble in just a few short months.
"It turns out that he is my son. He is born to be a researcher!"
Luo Zhu patted Bai Qi's shoulder heavily, then looked at Lan Ke and said, "Xiao Ke, why don't you let Bai Qi join your Tower of Knowledge? Don't waste such a good talent."
Lan Ke smiled and said, "This is not decided by me. It depends on Bai Qi himself. There are many tower masters in the six towers who are eyeing Bai Qi. It is not my turn for the time being."
Bai Yan was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly felt that Bai Qi, the son, was so strange, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart unconsciously.
"Bai Qi, where is your dormitory? Tell us about your recent experiences."
Hearing Bai Yan speak, Bai Qi also nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to my secret realm. The dormitory is a bit far from here."
"Secret place?"
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, but when they thought of the achievements that Bai Qi had made as described by Lan Ke, it was not surprising.
"It's okay. We're not in a hurry. Let's go check out your dormitory first."
Luo Zhu refused the idea of going directly to the secret realm and planned to take Bai Qi away.
"Hold on."
Lan Ke called the two of them to a halt, and then instructed Lu Qing who was standing beside her, "Qing'er, take the seniors to the accommodation area for me, and arrange accommodation for them."
“Okay, teacher.”
Lu Qing nodded silently and did not refuse.
"I'm sorry, Senior, Luo Zhu, I can't leave for too long, so I won't accompany you."
Lan Ke looked at Bai Yan and Luo Zhu with a hint of apology. Bai Yan shook his head and said, "Official business is more important. We just need to follow Bai Qi."
"Xiao Ke, go ahead and do your work. We will take care of ourselves."
Luo Zhu waved his hand, walked up to Lu Qing, and said, "You are the disciple Xiao Ke has been talking about. You are indeed a beauty."
"You are the auntie. Lu Qing doesn't deserve this title."
In the face of Bai Qi's astonished eyes, Lu Qing rarely responded to him. Instead, she skillfully gave him a bunch of flattery, which immediately made Luo Zhu laugh out loud. She even ignored Bai Qi and his son, and walked out hand in hand like little sisters.
"Hey, Dad, do you think Mom will be fooled by her?"
Seeing the two people's growing affection, Bai Qi couldn't help but move closer to Bai Yan and said, "I did offend Lu Qing before. If she complains to my mother, won't she beat me to death?"
Bai Yan twitched his lips and said, "Don't worry, the person who can fool your mother has not been born yet. It's good enough that you haven't been fooled by your mother in return."
"That's good."
Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, but before he could feel relieved, Bai Yan's next words made Bai Qi's heart rise.
"But from what I know about your mother, it's possible that she has a crush on Lu Qing."
"Damn, my mom is okay with this?!"
"What are you thinking about at such a young age? Your mother might want Lu Qing to be her daughter-in-law."
Lu Qing? Daughter-in-law? This kind of thing, um, it seems his mother can really do it.
Bai Qi: "Dad, is it too late for me to break off relations with you now?"
Bai Yan: "Do you want to be beaten again?"
"Then just ignore what I said."
Bai Qi looked at the two people in front of him who were smiling happily, and sighed helplessly. He could only forcibly change the subject and said, "Dad, just now Mom said that you are here to extract embryos of some ancient creature? Which consortium are you working for?"
Bai Yan shook his head and said, "It's a commercial secret. I can't tell you."
Bai Qi: "Your own son shouldn't be like this, right?"
Bai Yan: "Don't you want to break up?"
Bai Qi: "Excuse me."
