Chapter 229: Genetic problem?

"Aunt Luo, this is your room."
Lu Qing smiled and pointed to the luxurious suite in front of her, saying, "I still need to go to the teacher, and then I will come to chat with you, Aunt Luo."
"Okay, Qing'er, go get busy first."
Luo Zhu's face was full of smiles, and the way he looked at Lu Qing was as if he had already treated her as his own daughter-in-law.
Bai Qi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. After Lu Qing walked away, he quickly ran to Luo Zhu and said, "Mom, please don't have any dangerous thoughts."
Luo Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think your mother is a fool? If you were as stupid as your father, I might have some ideas. But let's forget about it now."
It’s good that it’s not the case. If his mother really matches them up randomly, he won’t be able to look Lu Qing in the face in the future.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go to your dormitory first. It's a good opportunity to tell mom about your experiences these days."
"good."
Bai Qi brought Bai Yan and Luo Zhu back to his dormitory. After a brief tour, Bai Qi took them into the portable secret realm.
Although the two were not beastmasters, as high-end research talents, they had entered other people's secret realms before. However, they were still a little surprised when they saw the high-tech base in front of them.
"Son, did you build this base?"
Bai Yan asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Of course not."
Bai Qi shook his head and summoned out the four pets and six sword servants.
"Shuke was in charge of the design, and the Six Sword Servant were in charge of the construction. I was just a supervisor at best."
Bai Yan: “…”
Looking at the ten pets in front of him with different appearances, Luo Zhu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Son, you really surprised your parents."
"It's OK, it's OK, I just had a little better luck."
Bai Qi scratched his head, and then began to introduce several pets to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu.
"This is Alpha, my first pet, a speed mutant. It started out as a skeleton soldier, but now it's a king-level creature, the Death Sword Lord."
Bai Qi pointed at Alpha and the six sword servants standing behind Alpha and said, "As for these six, they are considered Alpha's vassal pets and are high-level elites."
"A servant-level skeleton soldier was trained to the king level?"
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, and a hint of fanaticism flashed in their eyes.
They had already heard from Lan Ke about Bai Qi's talent, which was a special "breaking the air" talent, and was not very helpful for the training and combat of pets.
And Bai Qi was able to train a skeleton soldier into a king-level one. Apart from Bai Qi's personal factors, perhaps this pet beast itself has the characteristic of rapid improvement?
Well, it's worth looking into.
Bai Qi didn't notice his parents' strangeness and started introducing Shuke and Beta again.
"Shukebeta was originally a polar ice wolf with psychic mutation. By chance, I merged it with the mechanical system. Now it is a lord-level creature, a war lord."
Bai Qi pointed at Shukebeta's two heads and said, "But this guy has become schizophrenic. He has two consciousnesses."
"Two consciousnesses?"
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Luo Zhu could no longer suppress his urge to research. He grabbed the two heads of the Husky and continued to study.
"Although I've heard that psychic pets will split into different consciousnesses after their mental power reaches a certain bottleneck, this is the first time I've seen a living one."
Luo Zhu's eyes lit up as he kept groping Beta's head. Bai Yan also came over and said, "Split consciousness is not special. This mechanical head has greater research value. It is a mechanical structure that is perfectly compatible with flesh and blood. It's a pity that I don't have the tools at hand, otherwise I could have taken a sample."
"That's right. If we can develop metal cells through the integration of machinery and flesh, mechanical prostheses may be able to do more than simply provide mobility."
"And that one..."
Aa ...
(Human, can I escape!!!)
Listening to the increasingly terrifying conversation between Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, Beta, who was as brave as a heart, said that he could hardly bear it anymore. If Bai Qi had not been by his side, he might have run away directly.
"No, Mom and Dad were just joking."
Bai Qi refused immediately upon hearing this, while Beta looked as if he had lost all hope in life.
Aa ...
(But I don’t think they are joking…)
"Don't worry, I've put away the equipment in the lab."
Shuke's eyes flashed red, and all the research-related rooms in the base were sealed off. Only then did Beta feel relieved.
They finally understood where Bai Qi's weird ideas came from. It must be genetic!
Fortunately, Bai Qi also noticed that the topic of discussion between his parents was gradually deviating from the normal direction, and immediately said:
"Ahem, Mom and Dad, let's discuss the slicing some other day. I'll introduce the remaining two ends to you first, right?"
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu realized that they were so busy with their research that they forgot about their son. They reluctantly let go of the Husky, smiled at Bai Qi, and said, "Son, continue. Continue."
Bai Qi paused, walked up to Gama, and said, "Gama, the original slime monster, has mutated physically, and is now a lord-level creature, the Undead Lord."
"Wait a minute, Bai Qi, why are all three of your pets mutants?"
Hearing this, Bai Yan couldn't help but ask again, but before Bai Qi could answer, Luo Zhu pushed him back.
"My son is lucky, so what? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let me explain to you!"
Luo Zhu glared at Bai Yan fiercely, then immediately changed to a smiling face and said, "But mom is also very curious, son, where did you find so many mutants?"
Bai Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe, it's just pure luck?"
Alpha came to the door on his own initiative and activated the golden finger by the way. Husky knew Alpha earlier than Zhuge Chen and was also brought to the door by Zhuge Chen.
As for Gamma, it was really a buy one get one free deal.
Simply put, it's luck.
"All right."
Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, they looked at Bai Qi's last pet, Delta.
"What about this Proto-Beast? Is it also a mutant?"
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Delta is just an ordinary Proto-Beast."
Bai Yan nodded slightly when he heard this. If every one of Bai Qi's heads was a mutant, it would be a bit too much.
"But son, why haven't you arranged for your Proto-Beast to evolve yet? Haven't you thought about it yet?"
Bai Qi shook his head and told Bai Yan and Luo Zhu about Delta's condition in detail.
"Can't maintain the evolved form?"
Bai Yan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said, "The genes of the Proto-Beast are very special, and they have basically retained their ancient state. The Federation chose this name because it may be the ancestor of most pets."
"But normally, when the Proto-Beast is stimulated by enough energy from the outside world, its gene sequence will change accordingly, so it shouldn't degenerate."
Luo Zhu was also puzzled, and said, "There are generally three reasons that lead to degeneration. The first is that the body is severely injured, and the body instinctively degenerates to resolve the damage. The second is that there is a problem with the contract, which causes the soul to be damaged and unable to maintain the current ability, and it will also choose to degenerate on its own."
"Your ancestor beast had this condition before the contract was signed, and it was the same after the contract was signed. It seems to be the third situation, a problem with its own genes."
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this and said, "Gene problem? But with the improvement of Delta's basic data, the duration of evolution has obviously increased. It shouldn't be this aspect, right?"
Luo Zhu shook his head and said, "Basic data is just external, like a leaky bucket. The bigger the bucket, the longer it takes for the water to flow out, but the final result is the same."
"So, Delta can't continue to evolve?"
Bai Qi felt a little disappointed when he heard this. He had finally obtained the space crystal that could awaken Delta's skills, but now it was said that Delta was destined to be unable to evolve. This was indeed a blow to Bai Qi and Delta.
"No, as long as we can find the source of the problem."
Bai Yan shook his head and said, "Delta's evolutionary genes are unstable. Either because its own gene sequence is too weak to maintain a stronger gene sequence, or because it is too strong and ordinary gene sequences cannot change it at all."
"You just said that Delta can retain some of its spatial properties even if it doesn't evolve, right?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's right. The teacher gave me some space crystals before. After Delta absorbed them, his attack gained space attributes."
Bai Yan thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the gene sequence of your Proto-Beast should be too strong, so every time it evolves, it will quickly return to its original state. As for the energy value increase you mentioned to extend the duration, it should just be forcibly blocking the recovery progress of the gene sequence."
After listening to Bai Yan's explanation, Bai Qi felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and Delta, who always felt that he was too bad, also untied a knot in his heart.
It turns out that he was not too weak, but too strong.
Well, we must continue to work harder and try to find an evolutionary .
"But these are just my guesses. If possible, you'd better go to my laboratory. I hope to give Delta a comprehensive examination."
Bai Yan patted Delta's head gently, a look of seeking knowledge flashed in his eyes, and the same was true for Luo Zhu.
"Well, forget about that for now. Anyway, as long as we can find an evolutionary form that can break the Delta gene sequence, that will be enough, right? This way I have a general direction."
Although his parents would not slice Delta into slices, there was no guarantee that other people would have the same idea, and Bai Qi didn't want to take the risk.
And now that we know about Delta's degradation problem, the problem can be easily solved.
But what mom and dad said makes sense. He can just buy a complete set of genetic testing equipment one day and do a check-up on Delta alone.
Anyway, he is not short of money now~
