Chapter 60: Tower of Gratitude
Ding dong, ding dong.
A series of doorbells rang into the ears of Bai Qi who was busy, but Bai Qi's attention was still focused on the rune dictionary in his hand and he had no intention of getting up.
"Alpha, go open the door."
Crunch.
(Good master.)
Alpha nodded obediently, and in a flash he came to the gate and opened it, only to see a huge griffin standing at the door.
"Um, hello, is your master here?"
Lu You looked at Alpha in front of him who looked like an ice warrior and said uncertainly.
Crunch.
(Master, someone is looking for you.)
Alpha informed Bai Qi through his thoughts, and then began to look at the griffin in front of him.
To be more precise, he was looking at the griffin's wings.
(This strange bird seems to be stronger than me.)
Alpha's ribs moved unconsciously, as if trying to learn to fly like a griffin. At this time, Bai Qi also came out. When he saw that it was Lu You who came, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"I don't think I've bought anything recently?"
Lu You scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I’m not here to deliver the goods today. Chairman Qin asked me to take you to the Hill of the Dead.”
Hill of the Dead?
The three-day priority exploration rights of Bureau 13 have expired?
Bai Qi's eyes lit up and he reacted immediately. He rushed back into the house, put the two pets back into the beast management space, packed up some things and ran back.
"So are we going now?"
"Uh, okay."
Lu You nodded, muttering to himself.
Didn’t the president say that this guy has no sense of time? It seems he’s okay now.
Bai Qi climbed onto the griffin, and the griffin immediately spread its wings, flapped a few times, and took off into the air, then quickly flew towards the Hill of the Dead.
"Lv You, in addition to delivering packages, you also work part-time as a taxi driver... ahem, door-to-door pick-up service?"
Lu You nodded and said, "There's nothing I can do. The Windwing is a lord-level creature. It takes too many materials to cultivate it. I can't afford it if I don't take on more jobs."
Inspiring young people!
Bai Qi looked at Lu You with admiration, thinking that he had also racked his brains to make money.
In comparison, we no longer have the fighting spirit we had back then.
Alas, money makes people corrupt.
The Wings of Gale were moving very fast, and they soon arrived near the Tower of Lamentations.
Lu You stopped the Wind Wing steadily and said, "I'll take you here. The area ahead is a restricted area and I can't get close."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Bai Qi nodded, looked at the Tower of Lamentations right in front of him, and ran towards it quickly.
Because of the long-term "tempering" of the Evolution Egg, coupled with the feedback from the two pets, Bai Qi's physical condition is now quite good.
If it were in the previous life, he would have broken all the Olympic records in a matter of minutes.
Soon, Bai Qi arrived at the Tower of Lamentation. Seeing this, President Qin immediately came up and said, "You came so quickly. It was right to find someone to pick you up."
Is this the image of me in your mind?
Bai Qi was silent, looked around at the unchanged Tower of Lamentation, and said, "Where's the next tower? Why can't I see it?"
“The Tower of Gratitude and the Tower of Lamentation are connected to each other, right under your feet.”
Hearing Bai Qi's question, Yi Yu also came over and said, "Sorry, the people we sent in to explore haven't come out yet. You may need to wait for a while. As compensation, we will tell you the intelligence of the first floor."
Only one floor? How stingy!
Bai Qi nodded and didn't say much to Yi Yu.
Even an old fox like Old Man Qin, who has lived decades longer than him, doesn't want to have too much interaction with Yi Yu, so Bai Qi naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to get close to him.
If he were to target us, even if the Evolution Egg could now be used in the Beast Taming Space, there was no guarantee that it would not reveal a flaw one day.
He didn't want to be sliced up like a guinea pig for research, or be kept in a pen like a hen.
Yi Yu also noticed Bai Qi's estrangement. He still had a smile on his face, but he stopped talking nonsense and just waited silently for the explorers from Bureau Thirteen to show up.
Swish!
Finally, when Bai Qi was getting a little bored, a man in tight clothes holding two hammers appeared in front of the gate.
"Xusheng, how is it?"
Seeing the man appear, Yi Yu asked in a low voice.
Li Xusheng shook his head and said, "There are too many rune puppets on the fifth floor. I can't break through them."
Yi Yu nodded, then pointed at Bai Qi and said, "This is the Bai Qi I mentioned to you. Tell him the intelligence about the ferocious beasts on the first floor."
Li Xusheng nodded, walked up to Bai Qi and was about to speak, when he found that Bai Qi's face was distraught, as if he had suffered some kind of blow.
Five floors?! Five floors?!!
Do you know how much first-pass rewards I lost in these five levels? !
Bai Qi pounded his chest with some heartache, and only reacted when he noticed Li Xusheng approaching.
"A member of the Thirteenth Bureau's special task force, Li Xusheng, a third-level beastmaster."
"Member of the Beast Tamer Association, Bai Qi, a second-level Beast Tamer."
The two men briefly introduced themselves, and Li Xusheng began to describe the situation on the first floor.
"The first level is a three-headed Hellfire Sword Ghost. Its offensive power is barely acceptable. You just need to defeat them one by one."
That's it?
Bai Qi listened carefully, but could not wait for any further words to come. When he saw Li Xusheng's tightly closed mouth, he confirmed his guess.
"Well, thank you very much."
Although it is of little use, at least we know the number, which can be considered as intelligence.
"Need not."
Li Xusheng shook his head and looked at Bai Qi's outstretched hand. He paused, and the two hammers in his hands suddenly disappeared. He quickly grasped Bai Qi's hand, shook it, and then pulled it back.
Click.
The two men's hands only touched for a brief moment, and the Evolution Egg suddenly cracked into several pieces, and the progress of the Bronze Egg immediately increased by 15%.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 25%)
[Status]: Activated
Is this guy a pet?
Bai Qi looked at Li Xusheng with some surprise.
Legend has it that after a pet is upgraded to the seventh-level legendary, it has the ability to transform into a human form. Game 13 is so extravagant that it actually sent a legendary beast to climb the tower?
Bai Qi's gaze attracted Li Xusheng's attention, and a hint of hostility suddenly appeared on his originally indifferent face. President Qin also came up and said, "He is the descendant of a beastmaster and a legendary pet. He hates being treated as an alien by others. So if you don't want to be beaten by him, you'd better not look at him like that."
Bai Qi suddenly realized, waved apologetically at Li Xusheng, and then strode towards the entrance.
Even a third-rank beastmaster like Li Xusheng could only make it to the fifth floor, which shows how difficult this Tower of Gratitude is.
He should hurry up and climb the tower. If he loses the first-pass reward again, he will be miserable.
