Chapter 70 I bring salt for myself
Bai Qi's family.
In the spacious courtyard, Bai Qi was concentrating on playing with a sixth-order Rubik's Cube in his hand, while next to him, Alpha was concentrating on carving something on an ice brick with an ice knife.
Ever since challenging the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi has developed a great interest in runes and plays with the rune cube he got on the ninth floor almost every day.
As for Alpha, Bai Qi sent him to practice writing runes, under the pretext of training his ability to control the precision of ice skills.
"Huh~ finally done."
After a dazzling series of operations, Bai Qi finally completed the sixth-level Rubik's Cube in his hand. He immediately took out the tools and copied the six new runes on it, and then threw the rubbings to Alpha.
"Alpha, change the runes."
Crunch.
(Okay, boss.)
Alpha took the rubbing obediently and started a new carving.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the ice brick that Alpha had already carved, took out the rune monocle, put it on, and began to examine it carefully.
Bright red, fire rune, average quality.
Light green, plant rune, poor quality.
Dark blue, water runes, perfect condition.
…
Colorless, failed.
Black, shadow rune, perfect condition!
…
Bai Qi silently recorded the properties and pattern of the Purple Calyx Rune into his intelligent brain, then compared it with the rune dictionary given by Professor Dong before saving it.
"I wonder if these runes can be engraved on weapons. Perhaps they can also produce miraculous effects."
Thinking of the stone pillars on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi couldn't help but daydream.
boom!
The sound of the explosion interrupted Bai Qi's reverie, and then he saw the charred Husky escaping from its exclusive studio.
"Stupid dog, didn't I tell you not to research explosives at home?!"
Taking a look at the messy studio, Bai Qi's forehead veins throbbed and he grabbed the Husky and started kneading it.
Ahhhhhhh…
(Human, please listen to my explanation!)
The Husky struggled desperately and stretched out a spider web engraved with runes in front of Bai Qi, which diverted Bai Qi's attention.
" Is this, the blasting rune?"
Bai Qi carefully identified it and asked, "When did you learn it?"
Because there are a lot of new mechanical illustrations, Husky has been sorting out the data under Bai Qi's arrangement these days, and he should not have time to deal with runes.
Woof!
(Because I’m a genius!)
After being blown away by this rune on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Husky memorized it firmly and secretly engraved it on the spider web ball in the past few days.
As for the effect, the studio that was bombed into a mess is the best proof.
In other words, Bai Qi had the foresight to set up a separate explosion-proof studio for Husky, otherwise it would not be just these few things that would suffer.
However, looking at the power of the explosion just now, the effect of the explosive force plus the blasting rune far exceeded Bai Qi's imagination.
Adding runes to Alpha's weapons, works!
A gleam of light flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and he quickly selected a few shadow runes in his brain to try out their effects. Then he heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Sure enough, they come to complain again. This doorbell is still useless even after it's been removed."
Bai Qi glared at the Husky, quickly put together a set of words, and opened the door.
"Sorry, there was a short circuit at home that caused the explosion. We've asked someone to come and fix it. It won't affect anyone else... Um, why is it you, Zhuge Chen?"
Bai Qi was halfway through his words when he realized that the person standing at the door was not the neighbor who came to complain, but Zhuge Chen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Of course I have something to talk to you about."
Zhuge Chen said: "By the way, you spoke so skillfully just now, what on earth have you been through during this time?"
Facing Zhuge Chen's puzzled look, Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "It's hard to explain. Come in first and tell me."
Zhuge Chen nodded and followed Bai Qi into the yard. He was stunned to see the Husky controlling the robotic arm to put out the fire.
"Is this the polar ice wolf I sent you?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "Ahem, I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. After I broke through to level 2, I contracted this guy and did some, uh... minor modifications."
You call this a minor transformation, but to me it looks like I've changed half of the wolf.
Also, what is your skeleton doing? Has he switched to ice sculpture?
Zhuge Chen was a little confused. He had only been absent for a month, so how could it turn out like this?
Does the world of Beastmaster always change so quickly?
Seeing Zhuge Chen's expression, Bai Qi immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, you haven't told me what you want to see me about?"
Zhuge Chen came back to his senses and said, "It's like this, your parents couldn't contact you, so they called me and told me to tell you that they are busy with a new project recently and won't be able to contact you for a long time."
Bai Qi suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this, and tried hard to recall what was going on. Finally, he found his cell phone in a corner, which had been turned off automatically for who knows how long.
Recently, Bai Qi has been obsessed with runes and the new mechanical illustrations, and has completely forgotten that he even has a mobile phone.
Bai Qi took out the power bank to charge his phone, and immediately saw a series of missed calls and messages, some of which were from Bai Qi's parents, and the content was almost the same as what Zhuge Chen said.
The rest were almost all messages from President Qin.
"The professional assessment will be held in seven days. You should prepare well and avoid any accidents."
“…”
"Did you get the message? Tepei has a mission for you. Come back to the association and I'll talk to you about it."
"Where have you been instead of staying at home? No one answered when I knocked on the door."
"Bai Qi, reply quickly when you see this. If you don't reply, I will come to arrest you."
“…”
"Are you dead? If not, come to the association right away!"
The last message was five minutes ago. Judging from what Old Man Qin said, if Bai Qi didn't come, he might really kill someone.
This old man Qin is really something. If there is an emergency, why doesn’t he let people come to him?
Bai Qi silently put the blame on President Qin, but forgot that he had removed the doorbell and hid in the soundproof room.
"Oh, by the way, your parents heard about you becoming a beastmaster, and they were worried that you didn't have enough money, so they transferred some money to you and asked me to remind you to check it."
Seeing Bai Qi's uncertain expression, Zhuge Chen said, "Also, my dad said that thanks to you, the Elf House has recently had a second big hit in the sales of Undead Beast Tamers, and he wants you to help endorse it. Are you interested?"
"Endorsement? Why did you choose me?"
Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled, while Zhuge Chen helplessly explained: "It seems that you really underestimated your influence. You are the first to pass the Tower of Lamentation, the champion of the Haoli Gym, and you have been in and out of the Minghuang Legend House. You are now a celebrity in Gusu City."
Holy shit, are the paparazzi so powerful that they managed to capture this?!
In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, Bai Qi immediately rejected Zhuge Chen's kindness.
"My dad said that as long as you are willing to be the spokesperson, the endorsement fee can be negotiated, but if you are not willing, he will not..."
"No problem. When will the contract be signed?"
Zhuge Chen: "Are you sure you don't want to think about it again?"
Bai Qi shook his head, very determined to stick to his own ideas.
It has nothing to do with endorsement fees or anything like that, I just want to give myself some salt for once.
