Chapter 440: Chapter 436: Law Emperor’s Backup Plan
At Bai Qi’s question, the fireman suddenly came before him, pointing to the giant tiger behind him, saying, “Strictly speaking, that is my true form.”
“You’re a legendary creature?”
Bai Qi had an epiphany, he had wondered how Law Emperor’s backup in other secret realms had managed to exist for so many years. Turned out, it was a legendary creature, that made sense.
The Fireman nodded, “Yes, I’m one of the two pet beasts that the Law Emperor has nurtured – the Fire Rock Demon Tiger.”
Wow, even the second team was legendary, Law Emperor was really indulging himself.
Hearing this, Bai Qi was shocked and didn’t hide his admiration.
He was still worried about how to make more money to upgrade Alpha and others to the legendary level, and here, Law Emperor’s second team had already become legendary—It was kind of unfair.
“Don’t be surprised. I wasn’t legendary when Law Emperor left me here. It’s just that so many years have passed, and I have managed to reach this level with time,.” the Fireman said.
He glanced at Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha, “I originally thought you wouldn’t even be able to pass the third level. I didn’t expect you to reach the fifth level now. The following generations of humans are indeed much stronger than they used to be.”
“Theoretically, yes, it’s correct.”
Bai Qi nodded, “Since the Law Emperor has placed you here, is the situation on the next level a bit different from the previous ones?”
“You’re very smart. My projection can only appear on the first five levels. I can’t intervene from the sixth level onwards. Law Emperor has also not changed the rules of the future secret realm, so for Beast Masters with inadequate strength, I won’t let them pass.”
The Fireman looked at Bai Qi with admiration and said,
“So in other words, you are actually the Guardian of this level?”
Bai Qi asked, “Don’t tell us we need to become legendary to pass, right?”
“Not exactly, I won’t fight with my full strength against you, but requirements are still high, at least your current combat power is absolutely insufficient.”
The Fireman shook his head and explained.
“I see, so the Law Emperor has transformed the fifth level into a trial-type secret realm.”
At Bai Qi’s words, he suddenly recalled something, “What about my professor, did he also challenge you before going down?”
At Bai Qi’s question, the Fireman was a little embarrassed.
“Well, you might not call it a challenge.”
“Not a challenge?”
Bai Qi looked confused, but seeing the Fireman seemingly unwilling to elaborate, he didn’t pry further.
“Since you’re the Guardian, let’s have a challenge.”
The Fireman was Law Emperor’s backup plan, so there were no safety concerns. With that in mind, Bai Qi naturally wanted to make a bold attempt.
“I’m sorry, but the level of your pet beasts can’t challenge me yet.”
The Fireman shook his head, “According to the requirements left by the Law Emperor, only Sixth Stage pet beasts can undergo the trial test.”
“Sixth Stage, huh…”
Bai Qi sighed in resignation. Actually, when he saw that the Guardian of the fourth level was an Emperor-level creature, he was already prepared for this. But it was still a bit regretful to hear it from the Fireman’s mouth.
However, since the Law Emperor had set such clear requirements, the difficulty of this sixth level was indeed not easy. He could only go back and increase his level for now.
It was for the best, he also wanted to perfect the idea in his mind.
Unable to continue to the next level, they left the fifth level, but Alpha and Bai Qiucha had no intention of leaving the Twilight Tomb.
“You plan to stay here for training?”
“Yes, the Fire Rock Demon Tiger said it himself, at least Sixth Stage to challenge him, of course we must hurry.”
Bai Qiucha nodded, and Alpha next to her also expressed a similar opinion.
Hearing Alpha and Bai Qiucha’s thoughts, Bai Qi deliberated for a moment before agreeing to their proposals.
The Shadow Department Power inside the Twilight Tomb was very strong, which was undoubtedly the best place for improvement for Alpha, the Bone Dragon, and other undead creatures.
“Since that’s the case, let’s simply have a big outdoor training session.”
Bai Qi looked at his Six Pets, contemplated for a moment, and said, “Alpha, you take Six Swords and Cha and train in the Twilight Tomb. Gamma, you’re in charge of bringing Jie Ta to train around Taize Lake. As for Delta, you and Epsilon go find new Parasite Beasts.”
After the Bug Grass evolved to King-level, all its values significantly improved. The quality of parasite beasts needed to be improved as well.
The Five Pets each acknowledged their orders. This was the first time Bai Qi had allowed them to go out on their own, and they were all somewhat excited.
Owooo?
(Human, what about me?)
Seeing that the Five Pets all had their assignments, Beta quickly inquired, eyes brimming with anticipation.
“You, you’ll be doing research with me.”
Owooo!
(Human, how can you be so unfair!)
“Who asked Schuck to have to stay with you.”
Saying this, Bai Qi once again took out four mission boards and tossed them to the pets, “Remember to see if there are any tasks on it, do them on the side, don’t waste it.”
“Especially Gamma, don’t eat everything, got it?”
Glug glug~
(Alright~)
“Bai Qi, is this… isn’t this a bit much?”
Seeing Bai Qi like this, Bai Qiucha couldn’t help but laugh. She had always seen Beast Masters accepting tasks and doing them with their pets, but letting the pets accept tasks on their own and doing them themselves was a first.
“The poor child becomes independent early, independence must be cultivated from a young age.”
Bai Qi gestured with his hand and didn’t agree with Bai Qiucha’s opinion.
Training a legendary creature was like a never-ending pit. Depending solely on himself was tiring, so naturally he had to let his pets share part of the burden.
“That’s it, I’m going home now. Don’t contact me unless necessary, I need to research something.”
Bai Qi grinned, then hopped onto Nicholas’s back, “Be careful everybody, don’t go too far.”
Creak creak.
(“Boss, don’t worry. I’ll be upgrading to Six Stage as fast as I can.”)
*Clatter, clatter*
(“Master, Gamma will be obedient.”)
*Snoring sounds?*
(“Obedient? Well, Jie Ta will be obedient too.”)
“Boss, don’t worry, I will take good care of Delta.”
*Splashing sounds*
(“And so is Delta.”)
The five pets responded one after another, and then they couldn’t wait to rush toward their own targets, leaving Beta with a face full of-envy.
*Howl, howl…*
(“A dog’s life is just unfair…”)
“You silly dog, you’re indeed too weak. Back in my days…hey, silly dog! Let go of my mouth!”
Cowskin Snake couldn’t help but mock, but before it could finish its sentence, Beta bit it directly.
“These two guys are really enemies.”
Watching Beta and Cowskin Snake messing around on the ground, Bai Qi sighed helplessly, had Nicholas pick them up directly, and headed back to Gusu City.
…
Super God Evolution Research Institute.
Top floor.
Professor Chu carefully picked up the metal helmet in front of him, compared it with the holographic model on the side carefully, and then gave it to Bai Qi.
“The mechanical structure should be fine, how is the rune structure on your side?”
Bai Qi nodded, “The rune structure is operating well, now we just need to finish the last step.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up.”
Professor Chu urged impatiently, his eagerness not much different from those participating in the card draw.
Bai Qi responded with a grin, not just Professor Chu, even he was looking forward to it.
“Nicholas, it’s your turn, just add a Jade Imprint to this spot.”
Bai Qi passed the helmet to Nicholas, pointing at a vacant circle in the middle of the helmet.
“Alright.”
Nicholas nodded, carefully conjured a Jade Imprint and placed it on the helmet.
In an instant, green energy burst from the Jade Imprint, illuminating the entire helmet.
“We did it!”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, after a week of laboring with Professor Chu, they had finally crafted the object.
“We haven’t tested it yet, don’t speak too soon.”
Professor Chu looked at Bai Qi seriously and said, “As a qualified mechanic and martial artist, you must remember to practice before drawing a conclusion.”
“Science must be rigorous!”
Hearing Professor Chu’s words, Bai Qi’s face turned serious, he was about to say something when he realized Professor Chu had already taken the helmet and put it on.
“Let the old man show you first, make sure to learn.”
“Well, thank you, Professor Chu.”
Bai Qi’s mouth twitched, it was obvious that Chu wanted to experience it first. Despite Chu’s seriousness just now, he even felt ashamed for a moment.
“Good thing I made an extra one.”
Looking at Professor Chu, who had already fallen asleep on the sofa, Bai Qi took out another helmet, instructed Nicholas to inscribe a Jade Imprint in the same manner, and put it on.
Then, the Jade Power circulated, Bai Qi only felt fatigue coming over him, and fell into a deep sleep.
When Bai Qi opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Jade Dream once again.
“Excellent, the design is a great success!”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction after assuring himself of his surroundings. The combination of Soul Charm and Jade Imprint finally allowed him to enter and leave the Jade Dream freely.
Bai Qi spread his arms, quietly absorbing the tranquility of this place, while Professor Chu, who had arrived first, was still inspecting the Jade Dream curiously.
“So the Jade Dream really exists? This place is simply paradise!”
Professor Chu showed his surprise without any reservation, the feeling of returning to his youthful vigor made him let go of his usual troubles, and he completely relaxed.
“Paradise is created by angels, this place is the Green Dragon’s territory, Professor Chu, saying things like that might get you kicked out.”
Bai Qi walked up to Professor Chu with a smile, pointing at Nicholas, who had also followed, he couldn’t help but remind him.
“It’s just a metaphor, don’t take it literally.”
Only then did Professor Chu realize his slip of the tongue, as he tried to gloss over his mistake, he noticed the peculiar smile on Bai Qi’s face.
“Professor Chu, science is indeed very rigorous~”
“Enough is enough, I admit that I made a mistake, why are you youngsters so vengeful.”
Professor Chu glared at Bai Qi, then took another look at the dreamlike beautiful world around him, “But, are you really planning to make this public?”
Bai Qi glanced at Nicholas and said after seeing him nod, “Nicholas strongly supports this idea, it’s quite boring for a dragon to be alone in this world.”
“That is good.”
Professor Chu nodded, “How do you plan to promote it?”
“That was the easy part, I had it figured out from the start.”
“By gaming.”
