Chapter 222 - 218: Phoenix Feather
Seeing President Qin’s furious look, Bai Qi couldn’t help but shrink his neck and continued, “But I’ve found a solution; it won’t be any worse than the evolving pattern of a typical Ancestral Beast.”
“Really?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, President Qin’s face finally improved a bit, but he still asked uncertainly.
“Really, but we’ll have to wait for a while to see the results.”
Bai Qi informed President Qin about his lack of space materials. President Qin slightly nodded and said, “Materials related to the Space Department are indeed scarcer than those of other departments, but if it’s genuinely how you described, it’ll be worth the price.”
“So, you’re planning to exchange for Space Department materials at the Holy Relic Tower?”
“Not necessarily, we’ll see what’s available first. After all, there are several Mythical Materials that I also want.”
President Qin: “…”
Are young people these days all so ruthless?
President Qin sighed, “Anyway, I’m acquainted with Xiang Li from the Holy Relic Tower. I’ll go with you, and maybe I can help you make decisions.” “Great, it’s wonderful if you can come along, President.”
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Even though Zhao Futu had spoken out, having someone familiar like President Qin might help him get access to more areas with Mythical Resources for selection?
After all, he had already determined the resources for Gamma, but he hadn’t entirely decided on Alpha’s yet.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll check in at The Tower of Knowledge first. Don’t forget the time, Lao Qin.”
Seeing this, Professor Dong smiled and walked towards The Tower of Knowledge, while Bai Qi and President Qin headed for the Holy Relic Tower.
“I didn’t expect you to be such a troublemaker. In just one month, you’ve covered the Emperor’s Secret Realm and the Law Emperor’s Secret Realm, and even tricked a Legendary Giant Dragon into coming out…”
After hearing about Bai Qi’s experiences over these days, President Qin seemed a bit annoyed, but the smile on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.
Although Bai Qi made a lot of trouble, it resulted in actual achievements.
Who else in the Federation, like Bai Qi, has researched and made achievements in multiple fields such as pet cultivation, runes, and machinery?
The most critical point was that this all-around genius was one that he personally uncovered from a group of young people.
“I didn’t want it either, but President Zhao always likes to throw me out. I have no choice.”
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders. Although the rewards from a few trips outside were quite significant, he would prefer to diligently earn points and secure first place to exchange for a few Mythical Resources comfortably.
After all, once the intensive training was over, he wouldn’t have the opportunity to take advantage of the Federation anymore.
“Lao Qin, why are you here?”
At that moment, Xiang Li suddenly appeared in front of them and heartily greeted President Qin, who greeting him back with a smile, “Lao Li, long time no see!”
They really were familiar with each other. In that case, the matter of opening up a few more areas for his selection should be settled.
“You still look like a brat after all this time- ”
“Unlike you, who’s aged so much in such a short time.”
Just when Bai Qi thought everything was steady, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two dropped suddenly. It transitioned from old friends meeting to two archenemies slinging insults.
Looking at the two bickering like two old men, Bai Qi silently distanced himself from President Qin, acting like he didn’t know him.
Given this trend, it would be good if they didn’t deduct his resources, let alone giving him any preferential treatment.
Fortunately, the two stopped their squabble after a while, ended with a friendly punch to each other, and then turned their attention to Bai Qi, asking, “Bai Qi, are you here to exchange for Mythical Resources?”
Bai Qi nodded and said, “Mythical Resources are in high demand, so it’s safer to secure them sooner.”
“Hahaha…that’s true. Back then, someone missed many resources they wanted because they were too slow and went crazy.”
On hearing this, Xiang Li laughed heartily, while President Qin looked disgruntled.
It was evident that the person Xiang Li referred to was President Qin.
“I’m free today, and it’s rare for Lao Qin to be back at the headquarters, so I’ll join you in the selection.”
Xiang Li paused and asked, “Do you have any specific ideas?”
Bai Qi thought for a moment and said, “Originally, I was interested in the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, but if there are suitable materials for the Undead Department, that would be fine too. My main pet currently lacks a powerful long-range attack.”
“Light Spirit Holy Diamond? I don’t remember you having contracted any support pets?”
President Qin was taken aback. He was well aware of Bai Qi’s four pets. Apart from the Ancestral Beast, which had potential to develop in that direction, the other three hardly had anything to do with support.
And the Light Spirit Holy Diamond was mostly used to cultivate creatures of the light attribute, mostly support types. He had used it for his Light Elf before. “Can I just say that I didn’t expect it to develop in this direction?”
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly. When he found out that Gamma needed a light resistance to combine all resistances into elemental resistance, he had considered the Light Spirit Holy Diamond. After Gamma was upgraded to the Lord Level and successfully gained the perpetual motion talent, he was even more certain of choosing the Light Spirit Holy Diamond.
Though perpetual motion was excellent, it was quite strenuous on the body. Adding a light ability to it would make it more stable.
After all, the combination of a Light Shepherd and a Shadow Shepherd was also quite good.
“Let’s go to my office first, Bai Qi. Summon your pet so we can take a look.”
Xiang Li seemed particularly patient today. He led them directly to his office. Without hesitation, Bai Qi summoned Gamma.
Rumble Rumble?
(Master, do you need me, Gamma? I’m still hungry.)
Gamma, in the middle of breakfast, swallowed the food that she’d been halfway through eating, quickly digesting it into PURE nutrients. Then, she affectionately nuzzled Bai Qi.
“We’re choosing materials to upgrade you. You can eat later.”
As Bai Qi cradled Gamma in his arms, he said, “This is the pet I’m planning to use the Light Spirit Holy Diamond on.”
“A slime-beast? But wait, the bloodline level is a Lord Level?”
Xiang Li looked at Gamma in Bai Qi’s hand, surprised. He hadn’t expected a slime-beast to evolve to a Lord Level.
“Ahem, it is a mutant species so it’s a bit unique.”
Bai Qi scratched his head, letting the two know about Gamma’s situation and her energy diversion skill.
” I see. A physical mutation and energy diversion. If you can also add a Holy Light Series ability, it could indeed serve as a support creature,” Xiang Li nodded, understanding Bai Qi’s plan. He added, “However, the compatibility between the Light series and Alien series isn’t good, so be prepared for failure.” “I understand, but I still want to try.”
Bai Qi nodded. With the Evolution Egg, even if their attributes clashed, he could still forcibly use it. The effectiveness might not be optimum though.
“Wait. Has your slime-beast been exposed to any contamination recently?”
At that moment, President Qin noticed something. He summoned the Light Elf to circle around Gamma and his expression changed immediately.
“Why is there Evil Power in your slime-beast?”
When President Qin voiced his concern, Xiang Li’s expression also changed. After examining Gamma closely, he detected the anomaly too.
“Um, a few days ago at the Law Emperor’s Secret Realm, it got accidentally smudged during a battle with the Black Sky Meeh. Gamma’s upgrade is because of that.”
Seeing their serious expressions, Bai Qi hastily explained the origin of the Evil Power. However, their expressions did not relax.
“The Black Sky Meeh actually uses Evil Power as energy? That explains it.”
President Qin fell silent for a moment, examined Gamma again, and said, “If your pet has indeed been exposed to Evil Power, then I have to tell you, it’s impossible for it to acquire Holy Light Series attributes.”
“The clash of Evil Power and Holy Light attributes is even more severe than with the shadow attribute. If you forcibly merge the Light Spirit Holy Diamond, you’ll only cause irreversible damage to your pet.”
I see.
When Bai Qi heard this, he got an idea. In his mind, he started contemplating another material.
If the attributes would conflict, then he would have to wait till after the special training to exchange the Light Spirit Holy Diamond.
” I also suggest that you choose another material, Bai Qi. With the Alien Series and Evil Power, the Light Spirit Holy Diamond causes too much conflict with your pet.”
Bai Qi nodded, took back Gamma, and resummoned Alpha. “Then let’s choose a material for the Undead Series for now.”
“Is this the Wilting Dragon Lord? The new evolved one?”
Seeing Alpha appear, Xiang Li became interested. He took a closer look, and said, “It seems a bit different from what I saw before. Hmm? Is this the Power of Death?”
Bai Qi nodded. “Sir, you took me to train to control the Power of Death a few days ago.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Li understood. He looked at Alpha thoughtfully for a while before saying, “Actually, you should ask your teacher about this. After all, in terms of undead cultivation, no one in the Federation is more professional than him. But since you asked, I do have a suggestion.”
With this, he opened his computer, swiftly operating to pull up some information on the screen.
[Name]: Phoenix Feather
[Level]: Mythical Level
[Description]: Fire attribute material. Rumored to be a feather that fell from the mythic phoenix. Its life is endless, its flame unquenchable, and opposite too.
“Phoenix?”
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. Was there actually a Phoenix in this place?
“Yes, a Phoenix.”
Xiang Li nodded. “The Phoenix’s fire is pure and noble, but being a creature that wanders between life and death, its feather doesn’t harm undead creatures.”
“However, the Phoenix Feather contains a very strong fire attribute energy. If it is not paired appropriately with a corresponding secondary material, it’s likely to explode during the fusion process, making it highly dangerous.”
“Since your pet can control the Power of Death, you don’t have to worry about the flame in the Phoenix Feather getting out of control during the fusion. It’s tailor-made for you.”
After hearing Xiang Li’s explanation, Bai Qi’s eyes gleamed, and he made his decision without hesitation.
TH take this one!”
