Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 70 I Endorse Myself

Bai Qijia.

In the spacious courtyard, Bai Qi was intently playing with a 6x6 Rubik's Cube in his hand, while beside him, Alpha was intently carving something on an ice block with an ice blade.

Ever since completing the Tower of Gratitude challenge, Bai Qi has developed a great interest in runeology, playing with the rune cube he obtained from the ninth floor almost every day.

As for Alpha, Bai Qi sent him to practice writing runes, ostensibly to hone his precision control over ice-type skills.

"Phew~ It's finally finished."

After a series of dazzling operations, Bai Qi finally finished the sixth-order Rubik's Cube in his hand. He immediately took out his tools to imprint the six brand-new runes on it, and then handed the imprint to Alpha.

"Alpha, you've changed the runes."

Crackling.

(Okay, boss.)

Alpha obediently accepted the rubbing and began a completely new carving process.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, 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, with fire-elemental runes, in average condition.

Pale green, plant-themed runes, poor quality.

Deep blue, with water-themed runes, in perfect condition.

……

Colorless, failure.

Black, with shadow runes, in perfect condition!

……

Bai Qi silently recorded the attributes and pattern of the Purple Calyx Rune into the AI, 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 could have a surprising effect."

Thinking of the stone pillars on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, Bai Qi couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

boom!

The explosion interrupted Bai Qi's reverie, and then he saw the charred husky escape from its private workshop.

"You idiot, didn't I tell you you can't research explosives at home?!"

Looking at the mess in the studio, Bai Qi's forehead veins throbbed, and he grabbed the husky and started kneading it.

Awoo awoo...

(Human, let me explain myself!)

The husky struggled desperately and stretched out a spider web carved with runes in front of Bai Qi, which finally diverted Bai Qi's attention.

"This is... an explosive rune?"

Bai Qi examined it carefully and asked, "When did you learn that?"

Because of the large amount of mechanical-type encyclopedia data, Husky has been organizing the data under Bai Qi's arrangement these past few days, so he shouldn't have had time to work on runes.

Wang!

(Because I'm a genius!)

After being blown away by this rune on the eighth floor of the Tower of Gratitude, the husky memorized it and secretly carved it onto a spider web over the next few days.

As for the results, the studio that was blown up is the best proof.

In other words, Bai Qi had the foresight to set up a separate explosion-proof workshop for the huskies; otherwise, the damage would have been far more extensive than just these few things.

However, judging from the power of the explosion just now, the explosive force combined with the effect of the explosive runes far exceeded Bai Qi's expectations.

Adding runes to Alpha's weapons is feasible!

A glint flashed in Bai Qi's eyes, and he quickly selected a few shadow runes from the AI ​​to test their effects, just as he heard a series of urgent knocks at the door.

"As expected, another complaint came. Even after removing the doorbell, it still doesn't work."

Bai Qi glared at the husky, quickly prepared a story, and opened the door.

"Sorry, a short circuit in the house caused the explosion. We've already called someone to fix it, so there shouldn't be any damage... Um, Zhuge Chen, who are you?"

Bai Qi was halfway through his sentence when he realized that the person standing at the door was not the neighbor who had come to complain, but Zhuge Chen, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Of course I need to talk to you."

Zhuge Chen said, "By the way, you spoke so fluently just now, what exactly have you been through all this time?"

Faced with Zhuge Chen's questioning gaze, Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "It's a long story. Come in and we'll talk."

Zhuge Chen nodded and followed Bai Qi into the courtyard, where he was taken aback to see the husky controlling the mechanical arm to extinguish the fire.

"This is... the polar ice wolf I sent?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Ahem, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. After I broke through to level two, I formed a contract with this guy and did some, um... minor modifications."

You call this a minor modification? To me, it looks like half a wolf has been replaced.

Also, what's your skeleton doing? Has it switched to ice sculpting?

Zhuge Chen was somewhat bewildered. He had only been away for a month or so, so how had things turned out like this?

Is the world of beast tamers always changing this fast?

Seeing Zhuge Chen's expression, Bai Qi immediately changed the subject, saying, "By the way, you still haven't told me why you came to see me?"

Zhuge Chen snapped out of his daze and said, "It's like this, your parents couldn't reach you, so they called me and asked me to tell you that they're busy with a new project and won't have time to contact you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized what was happening. After trying hard to recall, he finally found the phone, which had automatically shut down some time ago, in a corner.

Recently engrossed in runes and the new mechanical encyclopedia, Bai Qi has completely forgotten that he even has a mobile phone.

Bai Qi pulled out a power bank to charge his phone and immediately saw a series of missed calls and messages, some of which were from his parents, and the content was almost identical to what Zhuge Chen had said.

The rest were almost all messages sent by Chairman Qin.

"The professional assessment is in seven days. Prepare well and don't let anything go wrong."

"..."

"Did you get the message? Special Training has a task for you. Come to the association later, and I'll have a proper talk with you."

"Where have you been instead of staying home? Nobody answered the door when I knocked!"

"Bai Qi, reply now if you see this, or I'm coming to arrest you."

"..."

"Are you dead yet? If not, get to the association right now!"

The last message was five minutes ago. Judging from Old Man Qin's tone, if Bai Qi didn't arrive soon, he might really kill someone.

That old man Qin is really something. If he had something urgent, why didn't he just have someone come to him?

Bai Qi silently shifted the blame onto Chairman Qin, forgetting that he had hidden in a soundproof room after removing the doorbell.

"Oh, by the way, your parents heard about you becoming a Beast Tamer and were worried you wouldn't have enough money, so they transferred some to you and asked me to remind you to check it."

Seeing Bai Qi's unpredictable expression, Zhuge Chen said, "Also, my dad said that thanks to you, the Elf House's Undead Beast Taming has recently seen a second surge in sales, and they want you to help endorse it. Are you interested?"

"An endorsement? Why would they approach me?"

Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled, while Zhuge Chen explained helplessly, "It seems you really underestimated your influence. First clear of the Tower of Lamentation, champion of the Macho Gym, and frequent visits to the Dark Emperor's house, you can now be considered a prominent figure in Ancient City."

Wow, are the paparazzi that powerful? They actually managed to capture this!

Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, Bai Qi immediately wanted to refuse Zhuge Chen's kind offer.

"My dad said that if you're willing to be the spokesperson, the endorsement fee is negotiable, but if you're not willing, he won't..."

"No problem, when do we sign the contract?"

Zhuge Chen: "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

Bai Qi shook his head, firmly insisting on his own idea.

It has nothing to do with endorsement fees or anything like that; I just wanted to promote myself once.
