Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 538: Chapter 533: Twelve Zodiac Guardian Beasts

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

It had been a week since Bai Qi returned to Gusu City, and he had recovered from the tense atmosphere of the tribes. Nicholas had returned to his usual position as a working dragon.

However, he didn’t constantly stay at his station like before. Instead, he only came out periodically to tidy up survival matters, spending the rest of his time exploring Jade Dreamland for the power of the Green Dragon’s bloodline.

Although Nicholas had mastered the power of his Legendary Giant Dragon with the help of Bai Heguang, he still felt inadequate after meeting Aleta and Akuya, the two demi-god giant dragons. So, he commenced non-stop cultivation as soon as he returned.

As for Bai Qi, he concentrated on the research of Bond Evolution, in line with both the requests of the Thirteenth Bureau and the association.

It was also a case of activating the Bond Curse Mark. If the Federation could have a steady artificial way to promote it, the meaning would change completely.

As long as they could steadily increase the number of spirit controllers activating the bonds, even if the numbers were low, it would surely be higher than the tribes. Coupled with the whole series of evolution systems of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, the Federation would be far ahead of the tribes.

By then, even if the tribes were to start a war with the Federation, the situation would be vastly different from before.

“Phew~ I can only do so much for now,”

Bai Qi looked at the increasingly complete Bond Evolution system in front of him, stretched and said, “Schuck, encrypt this data and send it to Uncle Zhuge for him to relay it to the Thirteenth Bureau.”

“Understood.”

Shuck’s voice echoed from a smart brain beside him. Then, the virtual projections in front of Bai Qi were saved and encrypted one by one, and then sent to Zhuge Xu.

“By the way, how is Black and White now?”

Bai Qi got up and stretched his body before asking.

“He is adapting quickly and is now learning modern mechanical technology.”

Schuck paused before saying, “However, he doesn’t seem to have much talent for modern mechanical technology.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No talent?”

Bai Qi couldn’t help but smile at his response and asked, “Where is he now?”

“He is currently in the library studying basic programming.”

Schuck updated the current location of Black and White, who was indeed desperately studying a book on basic programming. Looking at the plethora of notes discarded around him, he seemed to be having a hard time learning it.

“It just so happens I was going to ask about the Dual Sky Mech issue. I might as well check on him on the way.”

Bai Qi slightly nodded before heading towards the library on a familiar route.

Library.

“Just need to input some runes, and these cold machines can have their wisdom. Isn’t that a bit far-fetched?”

Black and White closed the basic programming book with a sigh, again confirming that he is indeed not suitable for learning programming.

In comparison, runes were simpler.

“Black and White, how does knowledge from a thousand years later feel?”

Looking at Black and White’s expressions, Bai Qi could not help but laugh, walking to Black and White’s side and saying.

“It’s potent, but I’m confident that I can’t learn it.”

Black and White shook his head and said, “However, other things like materials science, engineering, etc., give me inspirations. I might be able to make some improvements to the Dual Sky Mech.”

“That’s timely, I was planning to discuss this issue with you.”

Bai Qi smiled before looking at the factory area of the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

In the center of the factory area stood an overwhelmingly enormous Black and White Twin Towers.

Because the Black and White Secret Realm was destroyed by Akuya, the Twin Towers could no longer be hidden as they used to be, so Bai Qi openly placed the Black and White Twin Towers in the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

As for the objective, it was naturally to let Black and White to repay his debt…ahem, to help Super God Evolution Research Institute master the Mech technology of the Era of Law Emperor.

Hitherto, Black and White had already helped Super God Evolution Research Institute solve many problems related to runes, and incidentally enriched the rune library of the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

However, he had refused to help with anything else.

For example, the Dual Sky Mech.

“If you’re here to ask for the Dual Sky Mech, I can’t promise you.”

Black and White glanced at Bai Qi and said, “According to the Law Emperor, only people who successfully pass the challenges can obtain the Dual Sky Mech. Unless there is a ferocious beast attacking the city, I’m not going to release the Dual Sky Mech.”

“This requirement…was really intended to prevent others from acquiring it.”

Bai Qi quirked his lips. Upon learning of Black and White’s requirement, he considered running several more rounds to acquire all the Dual Sky Mechs. However, he was informed that it was a first-clearance reward and others needn’t think about it.

“However, I’m not here to ask you for the Dual Sky Mech.”

Bai Qi patted Black and White, then took him into the grassland secret realm.

At that time, the grassland secret realm was filled with the second batch of materials just delivered by the Thirteenth Bureau Logistics Department. Schuck was controlling a bunch of engineering robots, busily working on something.

As Bai Qi led Black and White closer, they saw Schuck assembling a massive Mechanical Bull.

Next to this mechanical bull stood a similarly colossal mechanical mouse and a mechanical tiger, all assembled and ready.

These are the twelve Mechanical Zodiac Guardian Beasts, the very thing that Schuck has been studying recently.

The battles at sea made Schuck realize the limitations of the Mechanical Lord. It might be sufficient for some small-scale skirmishes, but against large creatures like the Sea Beasts or overwhelmingly powerful ones, the Mechanical Lord was clearly inadequate.

But Schuck also found that his combat power was significantly bolstered when he controlled other machinery as the Mechanical Lord.

When asked why he chose to model them after the twelve zodiac animals that Bai Qi once displayed in his caterpillar memories, Schuck’s explanation was that the characteristics of these twelve animals were comprehensive, making them superior to simple warships or war chariots.

Moreover, their beast-like appearance seemed more suitable for field combat.

Unfortunately, Schuck’s prototype was destroyed by Christine’s slap before it could prove its worth, so now he was pondering a new modification plan.

“You didn’t call me here to ask for my help in modifying these mechanical beasts, did you? I’m sorry, but I don’t even understand programming, so I can’t help you with that.”

HeiBai directly guessed Bai Qi’s thoughts and without any hesitation, refused.

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to assist with programming. I merely want you and Schuck to research how to fuse Rune Mech technology with modern mechanical technology to create a new type of mech.”

Bai Qi and Schuck exchanged looks and said, “Schuck will handle the mechanical parts, including programming. As for the problem with the soul, Schuck has the ability of Spiritual Awakening, so don’t worry. As long as the body part is completed, the rest will be easy to solve.”

“Fusing Rune Mech with modern machinery, huh…”

HeiBai’s interest was immediately piqued upon hearing these words. Being a member of Law Emperor’s entourage with responsibilities to design various mechs and construct the Secret Realm, he inevitably had a knack for research. With Bai Qi’s words, his enthusiasm for research was instantly stirred up.

Seeing HeiBai’s enthusiasm, Bai Qi wore a satisfied smile on his face, and he seized this opportunity to throw out a trump card.

“Moreover, I have an unknown metal here that needs your research. If successful, it might be possible to create a true metal life from it.”

Saying this, Bai Qi took out the Death Metal and revealed all its unique capabilities.

HeiBai was initially taken aback but agreed to Bai Qi’s request without hesitation when he heard that it could absorb the Power of Death.

“Alright, I’ll help you research it!”

Countering the Power of Death was the life-long goal of the Law Emperor. If he could truly accomplish that, it would be like fulfilling the lifelong wish of the old man on his behalf.

“Then I’ll rely on you!”

Bai Qi grinned, then took out the Taishui Gold and the research results from the Super God Evolution Research Institute, and handed them to HeiBai, saying, “These are the research data we have so far, you can refer to them. As for this Taishui Gold, I suspect it’s a crucial catalyst for Death Metal. You can try it. ”

“As for the vice-president position you asked for, I have already arranged it for you. You can mobilize everything within the Super God Evolution Research Institute.”

Hearing Bai Qi’s promises, HeiBai nodded solemnly and said: “In that case, I assure you that I will achieve satisfactory results!”

“No rush, take your time.”

Bai Qi nodded in approval. He still expected HeiBai to help design the Secret Realm Tower in the future, so he couldn’t be too hasty and exhaust HeiBai’s potential all at once.

“But these designs of yours, even though they look very realistic, since you want to make them in animal form, shouldn’t at least incorporate some of the spirit corresponding to their biological counterparts?”

“Aside from their exterior features, these are basically no different from your other mechanical beasts.”

HeiBai got to work efficiently and immediately immersed himself into his new role, expressing his opinion without delay.

“Spirit? Doesn’t this require integrating the soul of a ferocious beast?”

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. The Twin Towers that the Law Emperor had solidified with similar arrays could blend the Martial Soul of Ferocious Beasts into the Dual Sky Mech, but couldn’t be used for anything else.

So, unless Bai Qi fully understood the Twin Towers, there was no hope.

“It’s not as complicated as you think. Although I don’t quite know how your Mechanical Engineering Department does Spiritual Awakening, the old Law Emperor also selected specific beast souls when making his mechs, and even mixed the corresponding beast materials into his mech materials.”

HeiBai shook her head and said, “According to the old man, soul and body are inseparable. So incorporating beast body tissues such as bones, skin and so on, can better exercise corresponding energy.”

“That does make some sense.”

Bai Qi nodded in understanding. Simply put, to build a mechanical bull, it would be best to incorporate some body tissues, like bones, of bull-type Ferocious Beasts into the mechanical bull. Of course, the best option would be to directly implant a soul.

But for now, they couldn’t deal with the soul, but the body tissue was a solvable problem.

“Then you two continue with the design, I’ll start working on the materials.”

HeiBai nodded and said, “You don’t have to rush. Once the design drawings are completed, we still have to research the Death Metal you mentioned. There’s no need for you to hurry.”

“But the stronger the target beast, the better.”

“I understand that.”

Bai Qi thumped his chest in assurance. But thinking of the dragon among the twelve zodiac animals, his expression stiffened.

The dragon in the Twelve Zodiacs referred to the Eastern Dragon, and as of now, the only Eastern Dragons he knew of were Old Lady Fan and Delta.

As for Old Lady Fan, he needn’t even consider it. Bai Qi suspected that if he dared to ask, Old Lady Fan would directly throw him back to the tribe.

So, that only left Delta?
