Chapter 345: I am the dean?
Surrounded by the Dragon of Death, the Hateful Butcher melted quickly like ice in a raging fire. If he allowed the power of death to continue eroding him, the only end for the Hateful Butcher would be annihilation.
Seeing this, Bai Qi was about to ask Alpha to release the Hateful Butcher. However, when he saw that the chains on the Hateful Butcher seemed to have become much thicker, he frowned slightly.
"Alpha, leave all those chains behind."
Crunch.
(Okay, boss.)
The Alpha Death Sword danced gently, and the Death Dragon spat out the Hateful Butcher, and at the same time took back the chain on the Hateful Butcher.
As the chains left his body, the power of death on the Hateful Butcher was also taken away. With pits all over his body, the Hateful Butcher could only barely keep his body steady and not fall, but fighting was absolutely impossible for him.
Seeing that the Hateful Butcher had lost so miserably, Sima Zhao's face looked obviously ugly, but Sima Jing still had a smile on his face, as if the one who lost was not from his own gym.
Snap! Snap! Snap! …
Sima Jing clapped his hands while walking towards Bai Qi and said, "As expected of Bai Chuanqi's disciple, each of his pets can be trained to be so excellent. This time, it's our Zonghu Dojo that is teaching you."
"Master, you are overpraising me."
Bai Qi smiled and silently put away Alpha who was holding the chain.
This chain can absorb the power of death. It's very unusual no matter how you look at it. I have to study it carefully when I get back.
Bai Qi's actions naturally did not escape Sima Zhao's notice, and he wanted to stop him immediately. However, after seeing Sima Jing's inexplicable look, he gritted his teeth and retreated obediently.
"Well, it's getting late. I think we should end today's gym battle here. What do you think?"
Seeing that Sima Jing didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the challenge, Wen Ruoshui stepped forward.
"Masters, what do you think?"
Zhuge Xu looked at Cao, Sun and Liu beside him, and none of them had any objection.
The business of the Wuhou Group is mainly related to their central division, so this time the three of them will serve as representatives to fight in the gym battle.
Now that Wu Hou Dojo has proven their strength and shown sufficient value for cooperation, they will naturally not cause trouble again.
As for the Sima family...
Everyone looked at Sima Jing. The Zhonghu Group was originally split from the Yanhuo Group and was established at about the same time as the Wuhou Group. However, because the Zhonghu Group had established connections with the West, it had developed extremely rapidly and would soon be able to compete with the old-established groups like them.
It is for this reason that the Tsukauchi Group can basically be regarded as representing the opinions of the big families in the west.
"Wuhou Dojo is full of talented people. Their future achievements may be beyond the reach of our Zonghu Dojo. Naturally, I have no objection."
Sima Jing smiled, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "Our Sima family has always admired Mr. Bai Qi. If Mr. Bai Qi doesn't mind, you can come to the Zhonghu Consortium when you are free. I think there will be something that you are interested in."
"Thank you, but I'm still just a student and can't run around, so I won't go."
Bai Qi rejected Sima Jing's invitation without hesitation. Sima Jing made him feel very uncomfortable, so he didn't want to have too much interaction with him.
Moreover, he was also concerned about the chain that could absorb the power of death.
He always felt that the material of this chain was somewhat similar to that of the Death Knight's armor.
"Is that so? That can't be helped."
Sima Jing shook his head with some regret, then walked towards Zhuge Xu and said, "Chairman Zhuge, do you mind chatting together? Maybe our two companies can reach some cooperation?"
"No need. The development directions of Wuhou Group and Zhonghu Group are different, so let's forget about cooperation."
Zhuge Xu waved his hand, then looked at the three people beside him and said, "Three of you, please come this way."
"please."
The four of them went together, and Duan Meng immediately stepped forward and skillfully helped the beastmasters of the three gyms arrange accommodation and the next steps.
Although he came here to pick a restaurant, he was not a bad guest, so he had to be treated well.
As for the Tsukatora Group, it was gorgeously ignored.
"Um, Zhuge Chen, are you sure it's okay for you to be so direct?"
Bai Qi felt strange when he saw the miserable state of the Tora Tiger Group.
Based on his understanding of Zhuge Xu, he is definitely a qualified and not an excellent businessman. When it comes to interests, he will never do such a thing because of personal emotions. There is really something wrong.
"Dad and Sima Jing have some personal grudges, well, it's a very deep one, so it's like this. If it was someone else, Dad wouldn't be like this."
"Personal grudge? How big a grudge must this be to make Uncle Zhuge target you like this?"
"Sima Jing once tried to rob my mom."
"Yeah... I understand."
Bai Qi understood what he said, looked at the audience who were gradually dispersing around him, and said, "Is there anything else? If nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Don't be so anxious. My dad just sent me a message asking me to take you to his office."
Zhuge Chen shook his head, looked at Bai Qiucha, and said, "Bai Qiucha, come along too."
"No, I'll just go shopping. I also want to buy some things for the Thunder Rat."
Bai Qiucha declined Zhuge Chen's invitation. Zhuge Xu obviously invited Bai Qi to discuss something, so there was no need for him to get involved. Besides, he really wanted to do some shopping.
Wuhou Mall sells not only spirit balls and rune mechanical weapon cards, but also a lot of daily training and living props.
"Oh well."
Zhuge Chen nodded, and then took Bai Qi towards the elves.
Seeing several people leaving one after another, Sima Zhao's expression was a little distorted. He walked up to Sima Jing and said, "Uncle, are we just going to let it go?"
"What else? Once the stuff is delivered, the mission is accomplished."
Sima Jing smiled faintly and said, "Aren't those old guys in the west very interested in Bai Qi? Just leave it to them later. It has nothing to do with us."
Having said that, Sima Jing turned around and walked out of the gym. Sima Zhao looked thoughtful and looked deeply in the direction where Bai Qi left, then chased after Sima Jing.
"Uncle, where are we going next?"
"Just stroll around. It's a rare day off, don't waste it."
…
Home of the elves.
Under the guidance of Zhuge Chen, Bai Qi quickly arrived at the door of Zhuge Xu's office. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a loud laughter coming from inside.
"It's been a long time. I was wondering who would come to pick the show, but it turned out to be you three. If I had known this, I wouldn't have arranged so many things."
"Luckily we came here first, otherwise if someone else got there first, you wouldn't have gotten through so easily."
Zhuge Xu pretended to complain, and Cao Bin and the other two changed their previous polite attitude and talked to Zhuge Xu very familiarly.
"Uh, what's going on?"
Bai Qi walked in with a bewildered look on his face. When Zhuge Xu saw Bai Qi coming, he enthusiastically brought Bai Qi to the three people and said, "Let me introduce you again. These three are my good friends from my youth, but now they are the owners of the gym."
"So, this gym battle was just an act?"
Bai Qi understood immediately after hearing this, his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Chen, but Zhuge Chen also looked confused.
"Don't look at Zhuge Chen, he doesn't know the specific situation either."
Zhuge Xu explained, "I had expected that the three of them would come, so I also placed some beastmasters trained by the Wuhou Consortium in the gym, but the changes were more than I expected, so it became what it is now."
"Moreover, when these three guys saw that you were there, Bai Qi, they didn't hold back at all."
At this point, Zhuge Xu glared at the three of them with some dissatisfaction, and said: "Fortunately Bai Qi is reliable. If he really loses, and the Wuhou Dojo gym can't open, don't blame me for tearing my face off."
Sun Tian looked innocent upon hearing this and said, "This was not my idea. Liu Bei was the first to go on stage, and he also asked Guan Qing to do it. If you want to blame someone, blame him."
Liu Bi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Cao asked me to do this. What does it have to do with me?"
Cao Bin: "I don't have any."
Are these three really gym leaders? It feels so unreliable...
Looking at the three people trying to blame each other, Bai Qi's eyes became more and more strange.
Fortunately, Zhuge Xu remembered that he had something important to do. He coughed twice to stop the quarreling, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, I came to you this time because I want to discuss something with you."
Zhuge Xu took out a copy of the document and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "Recently, the popularity of rune evolution and weapon evolution has been increasing. Although Professor Dong and Professor Chu are doing their best to organize them, they are obviously a little overwhelmed now. So I talked to the two of you a few days ago and decided to expand the two evolution groups into a large research institute."
"Large research institute?"
Bai Qi took the copy and asked curiously, "I feel like the current scale is already quite large, right?"
Zhuge Xu and the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. He said, "If it were placed in Gusu City, it would certainly be big enough, but if it were placed in the entire federation, it would not be big enough."
"Spiritual orbs, rune mechanical weapons, rune evolution, weapon evolution... these things have begun to be gradually popularized in the Federation. The research required is also huge, and the current manpower is definitely not enough."
"I see."
Bai Qi nodded and said, "In that case, let's expand it."
"You really don't understand your current position at all."
Zhuge Xu smiled helplessly and said, "These things are basically all researched by you. You are the team leader of Rune Evolution and Armament Evolution. These things must be confirmed by you before they can be implemented."
"Besides our Wuhou Group, the other three also want to participate in this research institute, so I have to ask for your opinion."
"After all, you have to be the dean ."
Hearing Zhuge Xu's words, Bai Qi looked at Zhuge Xu in confusion.
"Me? As the dean?"
