Chapter 283 Confidentiality Agreement
"Frostwolf, use frost!"
"Fire Claw Sparrow, use Fire Claw!"
"Dainika, use the Leaf Blade!"
…
It has been a week since the spirit control balls and free pets were available, but the popularity is still growing rapidly. The streets of Gusu City can be seen everywhere, with spirit control masters controlling pets in temporary battle fields.
They had originally had no hope of contracting pets, but for the first time, they felt the joy of commanding pets to fight. If they were not worried about lowering their friendship level, they would definitely fight day and night.
However, this still did not stop them from being grateful and admiring of the developer of the Yuling Ball.
Bai Qi!
A sophomore student has changed their understanding of beast taming many times. If the rune evolution only affected the undead system and therefore caused only a slight sensation, then with the advent of the spirit taming ball, Bai Qi's name has truly become a well-known figure in the Federation.
The most intuitive manifestation is that Xingxie Academy has put Bai Qi's portrait on the wall of fame.
"Water, fire, and plants are indeed the classic three attributes."
Bai Qi, who wrapped himself tightly, looked at the three pets that were almost the same on the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh.
Although it may seem uncreative, these three attributes are indeed the most popular choices among Beast Tamers, so there is no problem for the Association to distribute them to Spirit Tamers.
But they are just servant-level pets, the association is still quite conservative.
The Frostwolf, the pre-evolutionary form of the Polar Ice Wolf, also has a very cold personality. The same is true for the Firefinch and the Great Sunflower, both of which are gentle species, and their subsequent evolutionary forms are no exception.
But it’s better this way. Even if the pets that were trained from low levels become stronger in the future, they won’t be so likely to rebel. Otherwise, there will be more stray pets in the Federation.
"Hey, did you tell me? In three days, Wuhou Gym and the Beast Tamer Association will hold the first Spirit Tamer Battle Competition. It is said that the winner will receive a mysterious reward. Hurry up and sign up!"
"Fuck, a Spirit Master Battle Tournament? Then I can show off, right?"
"Too arrogant! I am here, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
“…”
A spiritual master battle competition? The Wuhou Group is really quick.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Bai Qi smiled faintly. Looking at the many spirit masters rushing to the association, he directly summoned Delta and went straight to the association.
"Quetzalcoatl? Damn, I was standing next to the boss and didn't even notice it!"
"Congratulations, you can donate your eyes . Oh no, maybe no one will want them after you donate them."
"Tsk, I just passed by Bai Qi, why are you so excited?"
"Then why are you standing where the boss just stood?"
"Hehe... getting a little bit of the boss's aura might help with my training."
"23333..."
…
Beastmaster Association.
Bai Qi came to the association's meeting room with ease and met President Qin and Luo Xiang who had just walked to the door.
"It's rare that you can arrive early, Bai Qi. It seems that this Spirit Control Master Competition will definitely end perfectly."
Chairman Qin glanced at Bai Qi and couldn't help but tease him. Luo Xiang on the side also smiled and said, "After all, it is a quad-core drive, so the efficiency must be higher than before."
"Two big guys, please let me go."
Hearing what the two said, Bai Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Because of Delta's void echo, it only took a little time for the Wind God Pterosaur to get from the Bai family villa to the association, and Bai Qi even had time to wander around for a while.
As a result, he was teased for arriving early. Well, it seems he has to come at an older age in the future.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Seeing Bai Qi's expression, President Qin did not give up and said, "You know about the first Spirit Control Master Competition, right?"
"I just heard about it on the road. It's coming earlier than I thought."
Bai Qi nodded. Actually, Zhuge Chen had mentioned this to him before, but Bai Qi didn't expect it to happen so soon. He originally thought that he would have to wait for a while for the popularity of the Spirit Control Ball to ferment.
"There's nothing we can do. Some people are causing trouble again."
President Qin rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Zhuge Xu came to see me. Your rune mechanical weapons have received strong support from the Mechanical Weaponry Institute and the Rune Department, and have already started preliminary production at the Wuhou Consortium's mechanical subsidiary, right?"
"Uh, the Wuhou Consortium is so quick."
Bai Qi scratched his head when he heard this. A week ago, Bai Qi handed over the basic structure of the rune mechanical weapon to Professor Dong and Professor Chu. Since then, Bai Qi has not asked about these things again. He has been hiding in the secret base, studying frantically with the help of Cordyceps' dreams.
If Shuke hadn't reminded him that he should come out and see if there was anything that needed to be dealt with, he would probably still be sleeping in the base.
"I knew you were becoming more and more skilled at being a hands-off manager."
President Qin sighed and said, "Your rune mechanical weapon has finally fulfilled Old Chu's long-cherished wish. He has teamed up with Professor Dong to help you apply for a patent. This time it should not be a core patent, but should be classified as a first-level patent under the rune machinery."
"But I estimate that the profits brought to you by Rune Evolution Armament may exceed all your previous patents."
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "Someone from Bureau Thirteen will come to discuss the supply of rune mechanical weapons with you later. You may become the youngest military weapon designer in the history of the Federation."
“Applying for a patent again?”
Bai Qi smacked his lips and nodded calmly.
Patents and the like are just a way to make a little more money. Bai Qi said that he is no longer interested in small amounts of money, and it would be better to give away two legendary resources.
Well, speaking of which, will Bureau Thirteen bring Beta's legendary resource with him this time, which will be a good opportunity to upgrade the pets?
“You really are…”
Chairman Qin sighed upon seeing this, and walked into the meeting room first, saying, "Before the people from Bureau Thirteen come, let me first tell you about this Spirit Master Competition."
"A battle between spirit masters?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, and had a bad feeling in his heart. After hearing what President Qin said, his face turned bitter.
"As the developer of the Spirit Control Ball, you must participate in the first Spirit Control Master Competition in the history of the Federation, so I discussed with Zhuge Xu and arranged for you to be included in the referee team."
"Don't worry, you just need to be responsible for the final battle and the final awards ceremony."
Seeing President Qin's expression of "I've thought about it all for you", Bai Qi sighed helplessly and said, "Well, can I refuse?"
"What do you think?"
President Qin smiled brightly, pointed at Luo Xiang beside him, and said, "Because Gusu City is the first city to host the Spirit Master Competition, the Association and the Federation have sent people down. Look, Luo Xiang is also on the referee team like you, so you have a companion."
Luo Xiang walked up to Bai Qi and said with a smile, "To be honest, although I knew it was a matter of time, I didn't expect that we would be colleagues so soon. It seems that the burden on my shoulders will soon fall on you."
"Thank you..."
Bai Qi glanced at the two speechlessly, then suddenly thought of something and said, "What about the Federation? Is it Bureau Thirteen?"
"For a match of this historical significance, the Thirteenth Innings will naturally come forward."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. Bai Qi turned his head and found that it was none other than Yi Yu.
"Minister Yi, long time no see."
President Qin nodded to Yi Yu as a greeting, and then motioned for Yi Yu to take a seat.
"Sorry, something happened on the way, so I'm a little late."
Yi Yu bowed to them apologetically, then looked at Luo Xiang and said, "Master Luo, I didn't have time to thank you for what happened in the First Emperor Secret Realm last time. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"It's just a mission, no thanks."
Luo Xiang smiled slightly, then stepped aside and handed the home court to Bai Qi. Yi Yu did not want to waste time, and directly took out a metal box and handed it to Bai Qi, saying: "Here are the legendary resources that I promised to give you last time, Bai Qi. Our deal is now complete."
Sure enough, legendary resources were also brought!
Seeing the box that Yi Yu was pushing towards him, Bai Qi's eyes lit up and he took it directly. Just as he was about to take a look, he suddenly found that the eyes of the three people in the meeting room were all focused on him. He couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, and suppressed his curiosity and put it away.
Yi Yu didn't find it strange, he smiled and said, "The transaction is over, so I will continue to talk about business."
"I came here this time not only to represent Bureau Thirteen to participate in the first Gusu City Spirit Master Competition, but also to ask Director Wang if you have any opinions on the production and sales of the Spirit Master Balls."
"But when I set out, I heard from Xia Yan that Bai Qi, you seem to have made your choice?"
Bai Qi nodded. Considering the relationship between the Xia Group and the Thirteenth Bureau, they must have discussed it long ago. Asking him now was just a formality.
"In that case, I will report it truthfully, and the next thing is another matter."
Yi Yu's face straightened, he took out a document and handed it to Bai Qi solemnly.
"Director Wang attaches great importance to the Rune Mechanical Armament and hopes to include it in the list of military products of the Federation. Considering the current situation of the Federation, I need you to sign a confidentiality agreement."
"Non-disclosure agreement?"
Bai Qi looked at Yi Yu with some confusion, while President Qin and Luo Xiang on the side both had a look of understanding on their faces, obviously they had expected it.
"That's right. The Rune Mechanical Armor has already involved the field of war, so we can't directly disclose your identity like the Spirit Orb, otherwise it will easily attract excessive attention from the tribe."
Yi Yu nodded, handed another stack of books to Bai Qi, and said, "To be on the safe side, we fabricated to apply for the patent of the rune mechanical weapon. We also have colleagues who have gone over to deal with other insiders."
"But we in Bureau Thirteen can only try our best to prevent the news from spreading. Bai Qi, you still have to be careful."
Listening to Yi Yu's words, a look of surprise gradually appeared on Bai Qi's face.
Why do I feel like things are getting a bit out of hand...
