Chapter 9: The Working Spirit of Workers
I don’t know if it’s because Alpha has evolved into an elite, but the consumption this time is greater than the previous times.
The moment the black iron egg took shape, Bai Qi felt his whole body go limp, as if he had been hungry for days and nights. He felt dizzy and dazed, and swallowed several compressed food pills before he recovered.
Bai Qi moved a stool and sat in front of the black iron egg, quietly waiting for Alpha to break out of the shell again, while thinking about what to do next.
The function of this evolutionary egg really made Bai Qi very satisfied, but the aftereffects were really uncomfortable.
I really don’t know if my small body can withstand it when the Alpha bloodline level gets higher.
Although the physical fitness will improve along with the strength of his pet, it seems that the speed of his physical fitness improvement cannot keep up with the consumption of the evolution egg.
Therefore, the best way at present is to buy some nutrient solution to support consumption.
The nutrient solution is made from fruits of certain plant-based pets, and the energy it contains far exceeds that of compressed food pills.
It’s just a little bit expensive...
So, you still have to make money!
Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He was so busy purchasing supplies in the morning that he even forgot to check the Beastmaster Association to see if there were any tasks suitable for trainee Beastmasters.
In this era, Beast Tamers have long been integrated into all walks of life in the Federation. When the residents of the Federation encounter any problems that they cannot solve, they will post a commission to the Beast Tamer Association.
However, an apprentice beastmaster like him can't get any good missions.
Click.
I don’t know if it’s because of the increase in Alpha’s bloodline level, but this time it took Alpha an hour to break out of the egg, still holding the metal scraps in his hands.
Was it a coincidence last time?
But the waste seems to be a little less?
"Alpha, has anything changed?"
Crunch.
(It seems that the body has become a little harder.)
Bai Qi nodded, looking at the stronger metallic luster on Alpha's body, and made a rough guess.
From this point of view, the obvious effect before was probably due to Alpha's upgrade from a servant to an elite, and normally he could only absorb some elements.
However, this also opened the door to a new world for Bai Qi.
What is being absorbed now is steel, so Alpha has an additional skill of hardening bones. If he puts some diamonds or something in it when his bloodline level breaks through next time, will there be any changes?
Or to be even more extreme, if we add some elemental materials, can we create a new race with different attributes?
Flame Skeleton? Ice Skeleton?
The more Bai Qi thought about it, the more excited he became. However, when he remembered that his wallet had been almost emptied, his enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.
Forget it, I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there are any tasks I can take at the Beastmaster Association.
As for now...
Bai Qi looked at the lot of metal scraps left in Alpha's hands, stuffed a few grain pellets into his mouth in advance, and then activated the evolution egg.
A familiar feeling of weakness suddenly swept over his body, and Bai Qi swallowed the pill without hesitation. Still feeling a little dizzy, he simply lay down on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
It looks like I'll have to go to the bedroom next time I use the Evolution Egg. At least it's more comfortable to lie down there.
…
the next day.
Bai Qi woke up from the bed, looked at Alpha who was waving a knife at the air in the yard outside the window, and stretched.
Alpha evolved four times in a row yesterday, and the pile of metal scraps was completely absorbed. Even though Bai Qi had food pills to replenish his physical strength, he still couldn't withstand the mental consumption, so Alpha fell asleep after training.
Originally Bai Qi thought that there would be some aftereffects when he woke up in the morning, but now he felt indescribably refreshed.
In fact, he looks more energetic than before.
I didn't expect that this kind of effect would occur after overdraft. It seems that I have to plan the use time of the Evolution Egg carefully. Maybe it can have a positive effect.
Bai Qi walked into the yard, and Alpha also noticed Bai Qi's arrival. He stopped what he was doing and flashed in front of Bai Qi.
Crunch.
(Master, are we going to that place for training today?)
After evolving to the elite, Alpha expressed his ideas more and more clearly.
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "I will go, but I'm not going to train. I'm going to make money."
Crunch.
Alpha nodded as if he understood, and returned to the Beast Taming Space. After a simple wash, Bai Qi went to the Beast Tamer Association again.
…
"Hello, do you still want to rent the training ground today?"
The female receptionist had a good memory and recognized Bai Qi at a glance.
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Um... I'm not training today. I'll see if there are any tasks I can take."
The female receptionist pointed to an electronic screen on the wall of the association's hall and said, "All the tasks issued by the association can be seen on the bulletin board. As for whether you can choose the right task, it depends on your luck."
Bai Qi looked in the direction the female receptionist pointed, and couldn't help but cover his face when he saw the crowd of people under the bulletin board, choosing tasks using the task board.
It turns out that no matter which world you are in, there will always be part-time jobs.
Bai Qi took the task board from the female receptionist, entered his information, and started checking it.
[F-level mission]: Haunted house recruitment
[Task Introduction]: Appoint a ghost-type pet to serve as a staff member...
The mission reward is okay, and it seems very easy, but unfortunately Alpha is a skeleton type and does not meet the requirements... Never mind.
[F-level task]: Cleaning broken bones
[Task Introduction]: Recently, there have been many cases of casually discarding broken bones of undead creatures in Gusu City, causing panic among many citizens...
Cleaning broken bones is simple, but the reward is too low. I guess it’s not even as much as letting Alpha deliver express.
[F-level mission]: Fighting sparring partner
[Task Description]: Appoint an undead beast to serve as a combat sparring partner...
A very generous reward, and a free training ground, that's it...
Huh?! It has been taken over. Whose Qilin arm is this?
[F-level mission]: Capture the Onion Sparrow
The reward was quite generous, but unfortunately Alpha couldn't fly and couldn't take the job...
[F-level mission]: Wilderness escort...
There were hundreds of tasks, but Bai Qi spent a long time choosing but couldn't find a suitable one.
Most of the F-level tasks are trivial and cheap. The Beastmaster Association takes on these tasks just to provide trainee Beastmasters with some training opportunities.
Moreover, most beastmasters do think so, including Bai Qi.
It’s just that there are too many people coming here to take on tasks. Bai Qi occasionally sees a few good tasks being taken up by others first.
It would take at least 20 to 30 years to develop such hand speed.
Otherwise, let Alpha deliver the package...
