Chapter 97: New Era of Undead
The evolved ice bones were obviously more intelligent than the previous skeleton soldiers, and they showed a hint of fear towards Alpha instead of their previous rigid obedience.
"Alpha, let him attack you and see?"
Alpha nodded and gave orders to Binggu, but Binggu obviously did not dare to offend Alpha, either in terms of bloodline level or growth level, and stood there trembling.
"Hey, this guy is too timid. At least Alpha dares to fight against a legendary creature."
Seeing Binggu's appearance, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, and could only let Shuke test Binggu.
"It is no different from the Ice Bone recorded in the illustrated manual. It should be considered a successful evolution."
Hearing Shuke's words, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction.
Since ice runes can evolve skeleton soldiers into ice bones, can other runes do the same?
Or, if he carved the runes in advance before Alpha evolution and then evolved, would he be able to retain the effects of the runes permanently like this?
The more Bai Qi thought about it, the more excited he became. His fiery gaze swept over the remaining ten skeleton soldiers, his face full of eagerness to try.
…
Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
President Qin and Professor Dong stood at the door of Bai Qi's house, ringing the doorbell continuously.
Because Bai Qi had a history of being out of contact for dozens of days, President Qin gave up the idea of contacting Bai Qi this time and went to look for him with Professor Dong.
But even so.
He waited at the door for more than ten minutes, but still did not see Bai Qi come to open the door.
"This brat actually dared to make me wait for so long. I must give him a good beating later."
Seeing the door still showing no signs of opening, veins bulged on President Qin's forehead, and he was already planning to break in directly.
Professor Dong sighed and said, "You are the president of an association, can you be patient? I have the whole day free, so I am not in a hurry."
Chairman Qin shook his head upon hearing this and said, "That's because you don't know this kid's situation. If I hadn't asked someone to remind him before, he would have almost missed the career assessment."
"That's normal. Xiaobai is a good candidate for research. It's normal for him to be so absorbed in his studies that he doesn't notice what's happening outside. Isn't that what happens to me all the time?"
Well, I am the odd one out, right?
President Qin glared at Professor Dong unhappily for a few times, and then saw a car parked in front of Bai Qi's house, and then Zhuge Chen got out of the car.
"President Qin, Professor Dong?"
Looking at President Qin and Professor Dong standing at the door of Bai Qi's house, Zhuge Chen was a little confused and asked, "Are you here to see Bai Qi?"
President Qin nodded and said, "Yes, I have something to do with this guy. Are you here to see Bai Qi as well?"
Zhuge Chen said: "I am here to pick up Bai Qi to go to my father to re-sign the endorsement contract."
The Zhuge family was able to grow bigger and stronger in Gusu City, so naturally they had a good relationship with the Beastmaster Association. Things like finding Bai Qi to be the spokesperson were also something they had informed President Qin about long ago .
President Qin laughed and said, "It's a good thing you came. If you were later, Bai Qi might have been targeted by others."
Zhuge Chen said, "I wanted to come earlier, but I wanted Bai Qi to have a good rest for a few days, so I didn't come until now. Besides, I had already made an agreement with Bai Qi, so I shouldn't be intercepted."
"By the way, what is the matter with you two coming to see Bai Qi?"
President Qin nodded and said, "I assigned a task to Bai Qi before, and brought Professor Dong with me today to give him some pointers. Who knew that this kid wouldn't respond until now."
Seeing President Qin's angry expression, Zhuge Chen was also a little amused and said, "He should be doing some weird research again, but I just contacted him before, and it should be out soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened quietly, and Bai Qi, with two panda eyes, slowly poked his head out from behind the door.
"President Qin, Professor Dong, Zhuge Chen? Why are you all here together?"
Bai Qi looked at the three people with some confusion, while Zhuge Chen smiled and explained: "I just came over and saw President Qin and Professor Dong waiting for you at the door, and then you opened the door."
Bai Qi yawned, perked up a little, and welcomed the three people into the house.
Professor Dong looked Bai Qi up and down and said softly, "Bai Qi, your current condition is too bad. I think you should put aside the matter of drawing runes for your pet for now. You can't draw runes accurately in this state."
President Qin also said: "That's right, there is no rush for that research. I specifically asked Professor Dong to come here today to give you some pointers so that you can avoid taking some detours."
" Drawing runes? I've already done that."
Bai Qi took out a bottle of divine water from the refrigerator and drank it. He pointed in the direction of the Alpha training room and said, "Look, it's right there."
President Qin and Professor Dong looked at each other, saw surprise on each other's faces, and then quickly walked towards the training room.
In the training room, several skeleton soldiers of different colors were trying hard to avoid the attacks of the Pea Shooter, while at the side, a two-headed polar ice wolf was carefully recording data.
"This is the skeleton soldier I gave you?"
President Qin looked at Bai Qi with some uncertainty. He was unable to connect these skeletons with the previous ones.
"Yes, these few evolved successfully, and the rest were blown up due to the disorder of rune energy."
"You just said, evolution?"
President Qin's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light. He grabbed Bai Qi's shoulders, stared at Bai Qi closely, and said, "Did these evolve after drawing the runes?"
Bai Qi nodded, and Professor Dong on the side walked directly to the evolved forms of the skeleton soldiers and observed them carefully.
"It's true that it evolved not long ago, but can runes really promote the evolution of pets?"
Professor Dong pushed up his glasses, looked at Bai Qi, and said, "Can you demonstrate it again in front of me?"
She has studied runes for her entire life and has a deep understanding of their applications, but they are basically used to create treasures or secret towers.
She was already very surprised when President Qin told her that Bai Qi applied runes to pets. She didn't expect that today she would be told that runes could also promote the evolution of pets?
Bai Qi spread his hands when he heard this and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have any skeleton soldiers around me now."
"This is easy. Just wait and I'll learn it."
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, the talisman formation under President Qin's feet flashed and he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, there were three more skeleton soldiers in the talisman formation.
Do you have to move so quickly!
Seeing the three skeleton soldiers that President Qin casually captured, Bai Qi couldn't help but complain, but facing the creepy gazes of Qin Huizhan and Professor Dong, Bai Qi still obediently engraved a rune on a skeleton soldier, and then asked Alpha to help activate it.
After a short wait, the skeleton soldier successfully evolved into an ice skeleton, and under Alpha's suppression, he also joined the training team.
“It has really evolved…”
Professor Dong, who witnessed the evolution of Ice Bone, stayed where he was, muttering to himself. President Qin looked at Bai Qi excitedly and said, "Can runes of all attributes have this effect? If we replace the Skeleton Soldier with other pets, can they also evolve like this?"
"I have only succeeded with the Ice, Shadow, and Fire types so far. I haven't tried the others yet."
Bai Qi pointed at the three evolutionary types in the training room and said, "The skeleton soldiers are too low-level and can only withstand one type of rune. If they were replaced with high-level skeleton creatures, they should be able to withstand more. As for flesh and blood creatures, I haven't tried it, but it should be possible. After all, flesh and blood creatures have too many organs, and their energy circulation is not as stable as that of skeleton creatures."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Ice Ghost series of the Tower of Lamentation and the later Hellfire Will-O-Wisp series are also likely to be related to runes."
"But I don't know how they draw runes on the bodies of the revenants."
After listening to Bai Qi's explanation, President Qin asked, "Did you come up with all this in the past few days?"
"Well, I guess so."
In fact, he had figured out what Bai Qi said on the first day. In the following days, he kept studying the runes to carve for Alpha. He gave those that had successfully evolved directly to Shuke and Beta to play with.
President Qin pondered for a moment and said, "Ming Huang has also returned to Gusu City today. I'll ask him to come over and take a look."
"Ming Huang is the number one person in the Federation's Undead Department. He might have some different opinions."
The three of them were discussing very lively, but Zhuge Chen, who was standing behind them, had a confused look on his face.
But there was one thing he understood, that is, Bai Qi could evolve ordinary skeleton soldiers.
We even have to cooperate with Minghuang to research more advanced evolutionary forms!
"We must tell Dad right away. No! We must ask him to come here in person!"
Zhuge Chen keenly sensed the business opportunities contained therein, and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a series of messages to Zhuge Xu, and then followed closely behind several people, fearing that he would miss anything.
"Bai Qi, your discovery is absolutely unprecedented and may even have a huge impact on the current pet system. Are you interested in becoming my disciple and studying the application of runes in depth?"
Professor Dong is an expert in runes. If Bai Qi becomes her disciple, he will be able to master more runes faster and apply them to his pets.
Even if it cannot be applied to other types of pets, the skeleton system alone can spawn many branches.
She was sure that the Skeleton Department was about to usher in a brand new era!
Correspondingly, Gusu City’s status in the Federation will also be comprehensively improved!
Didn't the once unknown Langya City rise to prominence because the insect legend discovered a new way to cultivate web-weaving spiders?
"Uh, that's not necessary."
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I was just lucky to find this. My real level is only half-baked. It's better not to embarrass yourself. It's better to leave such a high-end thing to you, Professor Dong."
Bai Qi was originally just completing the task given by President Qin and taking advantage of the opportunity to be a free guinea pig. If he was really asked to conduct in-depth research in this direction, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
After all, there are more than 100,000 runes, and he doesn't have the time to try them one by one.
If you have that much time, use the Evolution Egg a few more times and everything will come out.
Hearing Bai Qi's refusal, Professor Dong couldn't help but have a trace of regret on his face, and said: "In this case, I won't force you, but if you have any questions about runes, you can always come to me."
"Thank you, Professor Dong."
Bai Qi nodded. Although he did not plan to delve deeper into the path of rune evolution, he still had to continue learning runes. They would be used in battles and in exploring secret towers.
"But after all, it was you who discovered this, Bai Qi. It would be a pity to just give up on it."
Professor Dong paused, looked at President Qin, and said, "Qin Jiang, what do you think about letting Bai Qi showcase this achievement at the opening ceremony?"
President Qin nodded and said, "It's not impossible. I will apply for a patent for Bai Qi, which will definitely have a significant publicity effect."
