Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 93 This time we're really going to make a fortune!

"I guess that counts as completing the president's task?"

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding audience, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Kai, the strongest in Lingxi City, has been won over. He should be the top scorer in this joint exam, and his endorsement fee should be secure as well.

Tsk tsk, time to happily go on a shopping spree again.

Bai Qi hummed a little tune as he returned to the players' stands. Before he could even speak, Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan surrounded him, their eyes full of resentment.

"Didn't you say Alpha's modifications were an exception? How do you explain your polar ice wolf?!"

Seeing Gao Cheng's murderous gaze, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile and said, "It was an accident, it was an accident."

Don't be fooled by how perfectly harmonious the mechanical and biological parts of the husky are now; it was all achieved by Bai Qi through the gradual fusion of the Evolution Egg. He wouldn't even bother to create one himself, let alone help someone else with that.

It takes too much time, and more importantly, it costs too much money.

Not to mention, in order to express himself and facilitate his actions, Shuke and Bai Yong spent a day expanding a mechanical head onto the half-body mecha, which resulted in the husky two-headed wolf design.

This mechanical head was only a temporary arrangement in Shuke's plan, and he planned to make a series of modifications later.

Anyway, after Bai Qi saw the transformation plan that Shu Ke had drawn up for him, Bai Qi never discussed related issues with Shu Ke again.

Discussing this kind of thing with a conscious AI is simply humiliating.

"The mechanical head was an accident, but the runes you used during your fight with Brother Cheng weren't an accident either, were they?"

Lu Yuan looked Bai Qi up and down, seemingly wanting to know what strange things were hidden inside Bai Qi's head.

"Hmm, I'll look into that thing some more before we talk about it."

This time, Bai Qi did not deny it. Then he heard his phone vibrate and quickly got rid of Lu Yuan and the others and returned to the lounge.

"Zhuge Chen?"

Bai Qi had a vague suspicion in his heart.

"What's up?"

"Nonsense, why would I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

Good heavens, businessmen really are cold-blooded; they can just throw away years of friendship like that.

"I saw your match just now. My dad told me to contact you immediately to revise the contract. I've sent you the electronic version; what do you think?"

Amend the treaty? Did we go too far just now?

Bai Qi opened the new contract sent by Zhuge Chen, carefully read through it, and then felt relieved.

The contract didn't change much in terms of miscellaneous contents, except for some changes to the pet animal endorsement and revenue sharing.

Originally, they only endorsed skeletal creatures, but now they've added a polar ice wolf, and their share of the profits has increased by 20%.

"My dad originally wanted to give you an extra 20%, but he's planning to set up a gym under our Pokémon House, so you'll have to make do for now."

Dojo?

Bai Qi silently gave Zhuge Chen's father a thumbs up.

The Pokémon House is responsible for sales, the Gym is responsible for training, and he is responsible for promotion. This is clearly an attempt to create an entire industry chain.

"No problem, let's settle on that. We'll sign the contract when we get back!"

Thinking about the profits he could make in this industry chain, Bai Qi's eyes immediately lit up with greed, and he agreed to Zhuge Chen's offer without hesitation.

This time we're really going to make a fortune!

"Okay, I'll pick you up when you get back to Gusu City. My dad wants to talk to you in person."

The reason he was asked to sign Bai Qi was twofold: firstly, he was already familiar with Bai Qi, and secondly, Zhuge Xu—Zhuge Chen's father—didn't expect Bai Qi to have reached this level; he simply wanted to ride the wave of popularity and incidentally mentor his nephews and nieces.

Now that Bai Qi has defeated Zhang Kai, the favorite to be the top scorer, and Xia Xuan, the only one in Gu Su City who had a chance to defeat Bai Qi, has also reportedly lost to Bai Qi, the top scorer title is basically a done deal.

With the top scorer from the joint entrance exam from both cities as their spokesperson, and by inviting several masters to oversee the opening of the gym, their Pokémon House will have firmly established itself within the conglomerate.

"Great, it's been a long time since I visited my uncle."

Bai Qi immediately agreed upon hearing this. Zhuge Xu and his parents knew each other, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten to know Zhuge Chen. However, Zhuge Xu was always busy with business, so Bai Qi rarely saw him.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll go prepare some things."

Zhuge Chen hung up the phone, while Bai Qi returned to the arena.

"Where are we now?"

Bai Qi looked towards the arena. He didn't recognize the two contestants inside; they were probably examinees from Lingxi City.

"They're both from Lingxi City, one is named Sun Ling, and the other is named Gu Shan."

Gao Cheng pointed to Gu Shan, who had an ordinary face, and said, "That Gu Shan has a talent for enhancing his Beast Taming Space. He can contract twice as many pet beasts as others, and he's quite strong."

Bai Qi looked in the direction Gao Cheng was pointing and indeed saw four pet beasts of different races and attributes surrounding the stone mountain.

Green Snake, Golden Eyed Cat, Water Cannon Turtle, Explosive Flame Bird.

This guy's setup is pretty ingenious...

Looking at the four pet beasts standing in the four directions of the ancient mountain, Bai Qi immediately became interested and couldn't help but take a few more glances. He soon discovered that the average level of these four pet beasts was very low.

Needless to say, Gu Shan contracted four pet beasts far too early, and his resources couldn't keep up.

But defeating Sun Ling shouldn't be a problem.

Everyone's level is still very low, so the numerical advantage is still quite obvious at this time.

Of course, if a Beast Tamer with enhanced talents in the Beast Taming Space can receive enough resources to nurture them, they will be extremely powerful in the later stages. After all, having twice as many pet slots as others is no joke.

If nothing unexpected happens, someone will likely have their eye on Gushan after this round of matches ends.

But didn't anyone in Lingxi City remind Gu Shan not to rush into making so many contracts?

Soon, the battle between Gu Shan and Sun Ling ended, and Gu Shan successfully advanced. Bai Qi and the others lost interest in watching and went to have lunch nearby.

Bai Qi didn't refuse this time either. Although he felt he was close to abstaining from grains recently, he couldn't resist the murderous glares from Gao Cheng and the others, so he went along with them.

As for its purpose, it's naturally to pay the bill.

……

An hour later, the group returned to the arena after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

It's lunchtime now, and the arena is rather sparsely populated, with only a few die-hard fans and reporters still battling it out in the stands.

The top ten favorites have all finished their matches, and most of the audience has lost interest and gone to eat.

However, the ranking matches were scheduled very tightly, so viewers started returning soon afterward.

Although it's a pity that Zhang Kai was eliminated early, there won't be any weak contestants among the top five, so the show is still quite entertaining.

Sure enough, after the last qualifier of the second round appeared, Mo Guan announced the time and the list of opponents for the third round of assessment.

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw the arrangements for the third round of the competition.

"I got a bye?"
