Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

He did indeed want to buy Bright Spirit Gold, which would be indispensable for the future popularization of the Jade Helmet. It wasn’t unreasonable for him to visit the Brita family.

But he didn’t really want to visit the other two families.

One was the Bo Ge family, whose angel wings he had torn twice, and the other was the Yixiu family, whose twelve young and promising members he had swept aside.

It seemed where he went, danger outweighed safety.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn’t help casting a pleading gaze at Zhao Longxiang, who didn’t shirk his responsibility and laughed, “Don’t force Bai Qi. The Super God Evolution Research Institute has just opened and Bai Qi, as the director, can’t be running around leisurely.”

“Yes, you’re right. Leap Evolution and Jade Dream still need a lot of my work. I appreciate your kindness,” Bai Qi agreed and nodded repeatedly. He then turned to Charles and said, “As for cooperation, we can discuss it here.”

Hearing Bai Qi say this, Charles no longer insisted, and the Yixiu family was even more so.

However, the Bo Ge family was an exception.

“In that case, we’ll wait until Master Bai Qi is free to visit us. The doors of our Bo Ge family are always open to you.”

John Bogge bowed to Bai Qi and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll leave first. Please excuse me.” He then turned around and left.

“Our Yixiu family will also take leave. We look forward to your visit, Master Bai Qi.”

The Yixiu family said their farewells to Bai Qi, leaving only Charles Brita and Zhao Longxiang on the scene.

“Since we are discussing business, we should go to your office, don’t you think, Bai Qi?”

“Alright.”

Bai Qi nodded. He didn’t understand this sort of business at all. He definitely needed to get Zhuge Xu and the others to handle it, and coincidentally, he needed to discuss with them the issue of limiting the evolution frequency.

The three of them went to the rooftop office together, where Zhuge Xu and the others had been waiting.

Bai Qi had mentioned the Bright Spirit Gold transaction to Zhuge Xu a long time ago. Seeing Charles and Bai Qi come up together, he naturally understood what was to be done.

Looking at the five people, including Zhuge Xu, who were silently standing behind Bai Qi in the office, Charles nodded slightly, saying, “It is an honor for our Brita family to be able to trade with the Five Major Financial Groups simultaneously.”

“Mr. Charles is too kind. Usually, our Wuhou Corporation also has difficulty connecting with the Brita family.”

Zhuge Xu showed a business-like smile. When he founded the Wuhou Corporation, these Western Clans had suppressed him a lot.

However, Bright Spirit Gold was related to the production of the Jade Helmet. With benefits on the line, they could temporarily put aside these minor conflicts.

It pays to work together, after all.

Charles turned to Bai Qi and asked, “Master Bai Qi, how much Bright Spirit Gold do you want to buy? After all, the Bright Spirit Gold we normally produce has fixed buyers. If the quantity is particularly large, we may need to negotiate further.”

Fixed buyers…

I wonder if the Death Round Table is among them.

Hearing Charles’s words, Bai Qi unconsciously thought about this. However, realizing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Bai Qi immediately sprang back to reality, saying, “As much as possible.”

“As much as possible?”

Charles, raising his eyebrows, chuckled. “Master Bai Qi, you have quite an appetite. However, this means we really need to have a serious talk.”

Bai Qi suddenly felt a mysterious pressure just looking at Charles’s sharp eyes. It was even more oppressive than facing a legendary creature.

This wasn’t the pressure of the Beast Master Level, but the pressure of a business giant on a business rookie.

“Indeed, we should have a serious talk. Uncle Zhuge, please take care of this.”

Bai Qi nodded and immediately handed over the battlefield to Zhuge Xu.

He wouldn’t be so foolish as to negotiate with these old foxes who had been immersed in the business world for who knows how many years. After all, one should do what one is best at.

The time it took for Zhuge Xu and Charles to negotiate far exceeded Bai Qi’s estimate. Just when Bai Qi was about to fall asleep, Zhuge Xu and Charles finally finished their negotiation.

“Alright, then let’s proceed as we discussed.”

Charles rose and shook hands with Zhuge Xu, who wore a smile on his face, saying, “Alright, then I’ll trouble Mr. Charles.”

“No trouble at all. It’s an honor for our Brita family to have such a large transaction with the Super God Evolution Research Institute.”

“Mr. Charles is too kind.”

Zhuge Xu nodded slightly, patted the nearly asleep Bai Qi, who then woke up.

“Is it over?”

Bai Qi seemed somewhat lost. Seeing the contract that Zhuge Xu printed out at some point, he embarrassingly scratched his head.

Indeed, each has his own merits. The hypnotic effect of this business talk for Bai Qi was comparable to a math class.

“Just about. We only need your signature now.”

Realizing this, Bai Qi followed Zhuge Chen’s guidance and signed his name.

“That being said, the deal is now sealed.”

Charles also signed his name, laughed, looked out the window at the now almost completely dark sky, and said, “It’s getting late. I must excuse myself. I’ll have the first shipment of Bright Spirit Gold delivered as soon as possible.”

“Thank you.”

Zhuge Xu nodded his head, bid Charles farewell, and then returned.

“So, I guess there won’t be much to do in the short term.”

Bai Qi stretched and asked.

“You may not have anything to do, but we are going to be busy.”

Zhuge Xu smiled, acknowledging that whether it was the research results of the three major research groups or Bai Qi’s dual-core bombing, the Super God Evolution Research Institute was bound to become the Federation’s hot headline for a long time to come.

Therefore, the five major financial groups had a busy schedule ahead of them.

“You all have worked hard,” Bai Qi said.

Scratching his head, Bai Qi admitted that he couldn’t help much on the business side of things, and they had to rely on Zhuge Xu and the others.

“By the way, regarding Rune Evolution, Armament Evolution, and Leap Evolution, Professor Bai Heguang spoke to me about them. I think it’s necessary to inform you all as well.”

Bai Qi shared Bai Heguang’s viewpoint with the others. Everyone, regardless of whether they were talentless like Zhuge Xu or a Beast Master like Zhao Longxiang, fell silent.

Indeed, obtaining great power so effortlessly was not all good.

“Actually, my father also discussed this with me when Spirit Controllers first emerged,” Zhao Longxiang chimed in after a pause. “His idea was to establish for Spirit Controllers a set of assessment criteria similar to those of Beast Masters. Only those who passed the assessment would be allowed to upgrade their pet beast’s bloodline.”

“If we implement this, we could probably avoid Spirit Controllers having incorrect estimations of their own combat power.”

After hearing Zhao Longxiang’s suggestion, Bai Qi and the rest understood. Simply establish an assessment system for Spirit Controllers and incorporate it into the official assessment framework, and the problem will be effortlessly solved.

“Let’s proceed with Chairman Zhao’s plan.”

After exchanging looks with Zhuge Xu and the rest, Bai Qi unanimously approved the plan. It might affect short-term gains, but for long-term growth, a reasonable and systematic strategy could take them further.

“Speaking of which, Bai Qi, what are you planning to do next? Continue researching?” Zhuge Xu asked, an anticipatory look in his eyes.

“Not for now, I plan to focus on leveling up my pets in the next few days. I am quite behind right now.”

Bai Qi shook his head, indicating that even though some time had passed since he advanced to the sixth level as a Beast Master, none of his six pets had yet made it to the sixth level. Even Alpha, who had the highest level and had been intensively training in the Twilight Tomb, was only at the fifth stage, ninth level, and had yet to break through to the sixth stage.

Therefore, he really needed to speed up his training.

Zhuge Xu agreed reluctantly, saying, “Indeed, as Bai Chuanqi’s disciple, your Beast Master level can’t fall behind.”

“Yes,” agreed Bai Qi. He could guess that the next time he saw his teacher, he would undoubtedly be tested on his progress.

Now the question was, when would that happen?

The New Year was coming up soon…

“We should get going first too. Uncle Zhuge can handle everything at the institute while you focus on your training.”

Zhuge Xu stood up and left.

“Alright, thanks for your hard work.

Bai Qi smiled faintly as he saw the group of five off, before retreating into the secret realm.

“What a great smell.”

As soon as he entered the secret realm, Bai Qi was greeted by a rich aroma. Tracking the scent led him to his six pets gathered around a large hot pot.

“You guys are eating without inviting your Beast Master, that’s too much!”

Awooo!

(Human, you want to snatch food from your own pets, don’t your conscience hurt?)

Beta grabbed a large piece of meat and swallowed it whole without chewing.

Krapu Krapu.

(Master, your pot is over there. You wouldn’t be able to eat from this one.)

Gamma reached out with a tentacle, fetches a small hot pot from the side, and set it in front of Bai Qi.

“Mmm, at least Gamma has some conscience.”

Bai Qi nodded his head in satisfaction, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat.

“Gamma, your cooking skills are getting better and better. If you were to open a restaurant, it would definitely be a hit.”

Bai Qi gave Gamma a thumbs up. Turning his attention to Alpha, Bai Qi noticed that he was gulping something down from a basin.

“Alpha, what are you drinking?”

Garla gahaha.

(Gamma said to boost like with like, so he advised me to drink bone soup for calcium. He said it might speed up the leveling progress.)

Bai Qi: “…”

A skeleton drinking bone soup for calcium to enhance its level, that makes sense!

By the way, can skeletons eat?

Huhu huhu.

(Master, is the hot pot delicious? I still prefer ice cream.)

Blub blub.

(Jie Ta, children shouldn’t be picky about food.)

“Delta, I think that elementals probably can’t eat other things, right?”

Seeing his six pets happily eating together, a satisfied smile crept onto Bai Qi’s face.

“Everyone, eat quickly. After we finish, we will all take a swing at the Evolution Egg. Let’s try to level up to the sixth stage soon so we can challenge the Fire Rock Demon Tiger!”
