Chapter 288: Chapter 284: Void Pupil Amber

Bai Qi took the confidentiality agreement and briefly looked it over, discerning from the wording the importance that the Federation placed on this matter. “Actually, the Federation has never stopped researching this type of universal mechanical armor, especially after you suggested the layout of rune mechanics, Bai Qi. A lot of people have already started related research, it’s just that I didn’t expect you to be a step ahead.”

Yi Yu laughed and said, “You really don’t need to be nervous, Bai Qi. This confidentiality agreement is just to avoid the worst-case scenario. Normally it won’t be needed.”

“Oh I see…”

Bai Qi nodded, no longer worrying about the issue of identity. He thought for a moment, then asked again, “Given this, does the producer of the rune mechanical armor need to be changed?”

“I think it’s too late for a change now, isn’t it?”

Yi Yu laughed once more and said, “The Thirteenth Bureau has already signed a military supply agreement with the Wuhou Corporation. They’ll be responsible for producing the rune mechanical armor.”

“As for providing them to Spirit Controllers, Director Wang thinks it’s fine, but there should be some restrictions regarding the level of weapon destruction.”

“By the way, the next time you have research results, Bai Qi, I hope you can contact the Federation or the Association first. This will reduce the workload for all of us.”

Hearing Yi Yu’s words, Bai Qi coughed awkwardly a couple of times and said reluctantly, “Should I report it now?”

“Do you really have a new study?”

suddenly not able to sit still anymore, President Qin, who had always been quiet, asked, “Weren’t you studying rune mechanical armor recently?” “Wasn’t that a week ago?”

President Qin: “…”

So, your units of time for research projects are weeks rather than years?

“President Qin, I think we should just lock Bai Qi in the Six Tower and let him focus on research, his Beast Master activity really isn’t suitable for him.”

Seeing the way Bai Qi looked like he thought this was a given, Luo Xiang suddenly chimed in, glanced at the silent Yi Yu nearby and said, “If worst comes to worst, lock him in the Thirteenth Bureau.”

“I thinkthat would work.”

President Qin sounded quite convinced. It’s dangerous to let such a person run around freely. Who knows who might kidnap him one day. Instead of that, it’s better to confine him.

Yes, this plan is feasible.

“Bai Qi, why don’t you first tell us what new thing you have come up with?”

Seeing the situation, Yi Yu laughed and asked.

“Actually, it’s nothing. I have just designed some Spirit-Control Orbs specific to different attribute pets. In theory, it could increase the probability of contracted pets.”

Bai Qi took out several Spirit-Control Orbs of different colors and said, “Originally I planned to just have a bit of fun with it. But since you guys brought it up, I thought I’d showyou.”

“So, it’s like an improved version of Spirit-Control Orbs.”

Yi Yu took the orb and looked it over, “I get the general idea. I will report back to Director Wang.”

After saying this, Yi Yu paused and took out a phone, saying, “This phone is connected through Snare. It’s the best way to avoid eavesdropping. If you have any new research or need patent application, you can directly contact me using this phone.”

Connection via Snare, isn’t that a private line?

Damn, it’s getting bigger and bigger.

Bai Qi took the phone, toyed with it for a while, then put it away.

“So yeah, I thinkyour problem has pretty much been resolved, so now let’s discuss the Spirit Controller competition.”

President Qin gave a light cough, drawing everyone’s attention. He said, “The enthusiasm for Spirit Controller competitions is quite high right now. After this competition, it would probably even become more popular. The Association’s idea is that the Federation should best issue a bill on the competition between Spirit Controllers and Beast Masters, to avoid some unnecessary conflicts.”

Yi Yu nodded and said, “Director Wang has mentioned this to me before leaving. The draft has already been… ”

They were deep in discussion, while Bai Qi, who had little interest in the matter, had become a bit drowsy.

Indeed, studying was more enjoyable…

“Epsilon, continue to deploy the Dreamland.”

God knows how much time had passed, Bai Qi who had been dozing off, was suddenly startled awake by the sound of a chair being pushed back. He lifted his head to find that the sun was about to set. It appeared that President Qin and Yi Yu had just completed their discussion.

Damn, he vaguely remembered it being morning when he had arrived.

Feeling his stomach starting to protest, Bai Qi asked, “Can I go now?”

“Get away quickly, you’re of no use.”

President Qin glared at him, but there was no sign of annoyance on his face.

After producing so many research results in a row, even if Bai Qi was a Four Stage Beast Master, he surely couldn’t hold up. So during their discussion, all three of them chose to ignore Bai Qi, allowing him to take a break.

“Ok, so I will go now.”

Having studied in the Dreamland for so long, Bai Qi felt refreshed and was planning to head home and put into practice what he’d learned.

But, before that, he needed to go back and use this Mythical Level resource on Beta.

In the three weeks back in Gusu City, he had been harassed by Beta countless times, and needed to shut it up urgently.

With that thought, Bai Qi hastened his steps and left.

“Well then, I won’t intrude on you two any longer.”

Seeing Bai Qi leave, Yi Yu didn’t linger any longer. He said, “I have some matters to deal with. I will appear on time for the Spirit Controller competition.”

“Alright, Minister Yi, thank you foryour efforts.”

President Qin nodded and escorted Yi Yu out of the meeting room before returning to his office with Luo Xiang.

“The headquarters specifically sent you over; it can’t only be for the Spirit Controller competition, right?”

Hearing President Qin’s inquiry, Luo Xiang shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, “Looks like I can’t keep secrets from you.”

“Recently, several Inheritance Secret Realms have appeared in the Western Region. Although we haven’t had time to verify their authenticity, several corporations in the area have already taken action. Bai Chuanqi also believes their credibility is high, so they asked me to bring Bai Qi along to try our luck.” “Inheritance Secret Realm? Are they human or…”

At President Qin’s words, he frowned slightly. After seeing Luo Xiang’s smile, he immediately understood.

“Do you know whose Inheritance Secret Realm it is?”

Luo Xiang shook his head and said, “We can’t be sure yet, but based on the information we’ve gathered, it might be an Inheritance Secret Realm from Mythical Creatures.”

“Mythical Creatures…”

President Qin nodded and said, “No wonder the headquarters wants you to go there. But is it too early for Bai Qi, at his current level, to enter the Mythical Secret Realm?”

“Inheritance Secret Realms are not that dangerous. Comparatively, it’s more troublesome outside.”

Luo Xiang’s face showed a teasing smile as he said, “Actually, it might be more suitable for Bai Qi to go. After all, he’s young. If he does something rash, it would be understandable.”

“I see.”

President Qin nodded seriously and said, “But, you’d better keep an eye on Bai Qi for me. Otherwise, it would be too late to regret anything if something really happens.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to Bai Qi. If something really does happen, we will still have Bai Chuanqi.”

“I wasn’t referring to Bai Qi…”

“I understand…”

Secret Realm Base.

Under Beta’s expectant gaze, Bai Qi opened the metal box that Yi Yu gave him. A golden amber that looked like an eyeball appeared before both him and his four pets.

Awoo?

(This is a legendary resource? How come it doesn’t look any different from the candy that Gamma made?)

Beta leaned forward for a sniff and looked visibly disappointed.

Crunch crunch.

(Boss, seems like this amber is a kind of seal. The real item is the pupil inside.)

Bai Qi nodded. Given his current relationship with the Thirteenth Bureau, there was no need for them to play dirty tricks in this respect.

After all, when he was just a lowly Second Stage Beast Master, the Thirteenth Bureau had already generously given him Crystal Dragon Bone, a mythical resource. This amber in terms of rarity would only be higher, not lower.

Bai Qi sought a description of this amber in the metal box and indeed found one at the bottom.

[Name]: Void Pupil Amber

[Level]: Mythical

[Description]: Spiritual. This is believed to originate from the Three-eyed Civilization that preceded humans. The third eye of a creature from the Three­eyed Civilization is the source of their power, and their abilities are diverse. Three-eyed Civilization?

So this thing is an antique?

Well, it shouldn’t be expired, right?

Bai Qi examined the Void Pupil Amber with some doubts. Meanwhile, Schuck had already found related records of the Three-eyed Civilization.

“According to the records, the Three-eyed Civilization actually has some connection with humans as well. However, since no one with similar talents has appeared in the past few millennia, not many people believe this.”

“But one thing is certain, creatures of the Three-eyed Civilization are very proficient in spiritual attacks. This thing should be fine.”

Bai Qi nodded and handed the Void Pupil Amber to Husky, asking, “So, want to try it? If you don’t want to, lean give it to someone else.”

Awoo!

(Eat, why not eat!)

Perhaps concerned that Bai Qi would really give the Void Pupil Amber to other beasts, Beta swallowed the amber without even waiting for Bai Qi’s response.

“You dimwit, at least wait until I’m ready.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi hastily activated the Evolution Egg, while Gamma skillfully extended its tentacles and began to replenish Bai Qi’s energy.

However, this time, Bai Qi didn’t consume much energy. According to Alpha’s experience, it seemed that they had not managed to evolve to the King-level. “Upgrading to King-level really isn’t easy…”

Bai Qi licked his lips, comforting himself a bit, but he still felt a pang of regret.

After all, it was an antique. He had thought it would have some special effect, but it turned out he was overthinking.

Come to think of it, the fact that Alpha could evolve to King-level so early, aside from the help of mythical resources, Power of Death was another crucial factor. It wouldn’t be easy to replicate this.
