Chapter 277: Don’t come over here!
Secret base.
"Sure enough, the Soul Devouring Bug and the Dream Vine have completely combined together. It's just as I guessed."
Bai Qi looked at the data analyzed by the instrument, nodded slightly, then looked at Beta and said, "Beta, how are you doing? Is there any problem with this guy's soul?"
Woof woof!
(No problem, the soul is very powerful, but there is only one consciousness, and it should have been born not long ago.)
"That's it."
A gleam of light flashed in Bai Qi's eyes. A bug that was snatching his body and a plant that was corroding his soul, under the nourishment of the core of the ancient tree of knowledge, due to some coincidences, actually formed a new life.
Perhaps, this may be unique to the Federation?
Such a rare thing must be kept by oneself!
A terrifying aura suddenly emerged from Bai Qi, which frightened the Dream Vine, which had undergone countless tests, and it instinctively shrank back.
This human being is so scary!
"Chessow, come here for a moment."
Just when Chongcao was about to slip away, Bai Qi suddenly waved to him. Although Chongcao was reluctant, after seeing Gamma and Alpha who were eyeing him covetously, he still walked to Bai Qi obediently.
Chongcao had every reason to suspect that if he refused Bai Qi's invitation, these two guys would definitely slice him up and then cook him.
"Dear hero, what do you want?"
Bai Qi placed his hand on Chongcao's head and said, "Don't resist. I want to check your data."
"clear."
Chongcao nodded and stood there not daring to move at all, and Bai Qi successfully obtained Chongcao's data.

As expected, the race name of Cordyceps was full of question marks. Apparently, the Evolution Egg had never encountered such a strange situation, and the four skills with perfect proficiency were also within Bai Qi's expectations.
Bai Qi didn't believe that he had low proficiency in being able to influence so many ferocious beasts at the same time.
Moreover, after seeing the skills of Cordyceps, Bai Qi also completely understood the formation process of this strange creature.
The Soul-Eating Bug devours souls, and the Dream Vine can transfer its consciousness into dreams. As a result, the consciousness of the two became entangled together and then both were annihilated. Then, new consciousness was formed under the nourishment of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. It's that simple.
Speaking of which, this thing is quite similar to a Husky, except that the Husky has two consciousnesses born , while the Cordyceps is a fusion of two bodies and souls into one consciousness.
It’s just that this guy’s growth level is so low that it was beyond Bai Qi’s expectations.
Being able to affect such a large area, its level must be very high. After all, it has swallowed the core of an ancient tree of knowledge.
"I think the reason why this thing can affect such a large area around it is probably because energy was dissipated during the process of fusing the Soul Devouring Bug and the Dream Vine with the core of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. By the time the fusion was complete, the energy had been almost completely consumed."
Shuke thought about it and gave a relatively reasonable explanation. Bai Qi couldn't think of any other reason for a moment and could only accept it.
After all, being able to fuse two pets is already very rare, and requiring both levels to be very high is a bit too much.
"But this guy unexpectedly meets my current needs~"
Bai Qi patted Chongcao's head, a smile in his eyes.
Dream-making, isn't it created to strengthen mental power? With such a living dream-making machine here, he doesn't need to buy any dream potion anymore.
In fact, Bai Qi had thought about whether to contract a dream vine, but most dream vines have low upper limits, and they don’t like to fight. They are almost in a dormant state all year round, so there is basically no use in contracting them, so Bai Qi gave up.
But now there is a symbiotic species that may be unique in the Federation, and Bai Qi cannot miss it.
"Chess, are you willing to be my pet and become our companion?"
Bai Qi's question was obviously beyond Chongcao's expectations, but after seeing the four pets "eyeing him hungrily" around him, he immediately made a decision.
"It is my honor to be your pet, the hero. I just hope the hero doesn't think I am useless."
"Useless? No, you'll definitely be useful."
Bai Qi grinned and said, "The dream you just created, was it created after you peeped into my consciousness?"
Hearing Bai Qi's question, Chongcao quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Hero, please don't misunderstand me. I was only guiding you to materialize the thing you thought was terrifying. I didn't spy on your memory."
"Then if I tell you more details, or if I release part of my memory, can you create a more realistic dream?"
Chongcao paused and said, "In theory, that is true, but now I no longer have the energy support of the core of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, so I am afraid it will be difficult to create such a large-scale dream again."
"It's okay, just a little dream will do."
Bai Qi grinned, then pulled Chongcao over and started muttering something. After hesitating for a moment, Chongcao created a dream according to Bai Qi's request and pulled Bai Qi in.
"Well, it's really true."
Looking at the tall buildings around him that were exactly the same as in his previous life, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and wandered around with some nostalgia. He was not forced to leave until his dream was broken.
Bai Qi looked at the familiar scenes around him in a trance. It took him a long time to get rid of the dream. Then he quietly comprehended it and found that his mental strength had indeed improved, which was obviously much better than the effect of the dream potion.
"Congratulations, you have passed the probation period and become a formal employee."
Bai Qi patted the Cordyceps and said, "According to convention, I will give you a name first. The species name is Dream Devouring Vine, and your name is... Epsilon!"
"Epsilon? But I want an Eastern...name..."
Under the gaze of the four pets, Chongcao's voice became softer and softer, and he finally chose to accept this strange name.
He who knows the times is a hero, and he who can bend and stretch is a true man.
Seeing that Chongcao accepted it, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.
He has already upgraded the Golden Egg to 99% of its progress. With the Evolution Egg and Green Dragon Scale, it is only a matter of time before his physique is fully upgraded. Now that he has Cordyceps, the improvement of his mental strength can also be accelerated, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the fifth level.
When the time comes to contract the Cordyceps, work hard to raise the level of the Cordyceps, improve the efficiency again, and you will be able to enter a virtuous circle.
I just don’t know what effect it will have if pets enter dreams. If a battle takes place in a dream, can it improve their skill proficiency?
Well , he'll give it a try later. If it works, he won't have to worry about not having a suitable training ground for the time being.
"Okay, Epsilon, you rest here for a while. I'll go to the association to report on the mission."
Bai Qi put down the Cordyceps, then looked at Gama warily and said, "Gama, he is our companion now, don't stew him!"
Click, click.
(Well, Gamma doesn't stew him.)
"Fry, stir-fry, fry, boil, and eat. Just get along well with Epsilon."
Bai Qi wisely blocked all of Gama's options, and at the same time looked at Shukebeta and said, "You too, don't slice him up as research material. If he comes back with any damage, I'll punish you."
"Beastmaster, go without worry. I won't do anything to him."
Shuke nodded seriously, and Beta beside him did the same.
"That's good, Delta, we'll go there and come back quickly."
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, took Delta out of the secret realm, and then went straight to the association.
The mission was completed, but the culprit was intercepted by me. I have to give an explanation to President Qin, otherwise it would be bad if points were deducted.
Ahhhhh?
(Have humans left?)
“Already left.”
Shuke nodded, and then the two-headed dog cast a dangerous look at Cordyceps.
The Beastmaster only said that the damage cannot be seen, so we just need to slice it and heal it. As for the treatment, it will be easy with Gamma here.
Click, click?
(Is it also possible to cut off a piece of gamma to taste it, and then treat it, just like picking fruit?)
Inspired by Shuke, Gama's thinking diverged immediately, and he regarded Cordyceps as a renewable fruit tree.
Being stared at with dangerous eyes by the two pets, the colorful vines of Cordyceps were frightened and lost their color. They staggered backwards and retreated to a corner, unable to help but let out a shrill roar.
"Don't come over here!"
