Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 14 - 13: To Evolve, One Must Train the Beast
14 Chapter 13: To Evolve, One Must Train the Beast
Translator: 549690339
Understanding the origin of Alpha’s unusual movements, not only did Wu Lan and his companions’ interest not decrease, but it grew even more thrilling. After receiving Bai Qi’s approval, they immediately got their hands on it.
“Bai Qi, is it really feasible to perform mechanical modifications on non-mechanical beasts?”
Although Gao Cheng wasn’t a student of the Star Mechanics Academy, he knew the differences between mechanical beasts and traditional ones. Seeing Bai Qi altering his own skeleton, he was somewhat surprised.
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied, “I can’t say for sure. After all, I only made some pure mechanical modifications and didn’t involve the energy system.”
“I see.”
Gao Cheng seemed thoughtful, looked at his Fire Armor Scorpion, and had some other thoughts.
“Bai Qi, can you check if my Fire Armor Scorpion can also be modified?”
He had already failed the Beast Master professional examination three times. Recently, his pets’ strength had also reached a bottleneck. Now seeing Alpha as a living example, he naturally didn’t want to miss out.
“Uh, probably not.”
Seeing Gao Cheng’s hopeful eyes, Bai Qi couldn’t help feeling a bit of a headache.
The reason he could modify Alpha was that skeletal category beasts, especially low-level skeletons like Alpha, have bones that can be freely disassembled and reassembled, so the difficulty isn’t high.
But modifying a beast with dual attributions like the insect system and the fire attribute, like the Fire Armor Scorpion, would be much more troublesome.
At least, Bai Qi didn’t think that ordinary steel could withstand the high temperatures of the Fire Armor Scorpion.
Gao Cheng’s face fell, but he quickly recovered, remarking, “True, if it were possible, others would have done it long ago.”
“However, your methods are still impressive, Bai Qi. You actually thought of mechanically modifying undead beasts.”
Wu Lan seemed to have become a little fan of Bai Qi’s, not being stingy with her praises. But she soon revealed her true intentions.
“If my second beast is also a contracted skeleton type, could you help me modify it too?”
Before Bai Qi could respond, Gao Cheng interrupted, “My personal suggestion, it’ll better if you don’t cross-train systems. After all, one’s energy is limited. Dividing your attention too much isn’t beneficial.”
Gao Cheng’s words weren’t unfounded. Most Beast Masters in the Federation specialized in training a single race. The occasional exceptions were usually auxiliary pets.
For example, the recently trending Titled Legendary “Celestial Brilliance” specialized in Undead Department Pets, with every pet chosen after careful consideration.
After all, a Beast Master’s energy and resources are limited. It’s impossible to cater to every pet. Basically, they focus on training one or two main pets.
Choosing a pet that has nothing to do with one’s main pet simply because of idol worship, like Wu Lan did, is quite irrational.
After Gao Cheng’s earnest lecture, Wu Lan and the others fell into contemplation.
Seeing their thoughtful expressions, Bai Qi didn’t know how to join the conversation and could only bury his head and eat. Before long, he had finished his third boxed meal.
“Phew, I’m finally full.”
Bai Qi rubbed his belly, looked at the high-hanging sun overhead, and took a sip of the mineral water by his side.
“This damn weather, even the water was heated.”
The water had been provided by the staff. It had only been left outside for a while, yet it had already been heated by the sun.
“Senior, do you feel hot? Do you want my Ice Crystal Toad to help?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s complaint, Han Jian immediately summoned his Ice Crystal Toad. The surrounding temperature immediately dropped, and without any hesitation, Bai Qi put his bottle of mineral water on the Ice Crystal Toad.
“Huh?”
As soon as Bai Qi’s hand touched the Ice Crystal Toad, he couldn’t help but exclaim. Han Jian was somewhat puzzled, asking, “What’s wrong, Senior? Did you get frostbite?”
Bai Qi shook his head, replying, “No, it’s just that your Ice Crystal Toad is really convenient. It comes with built-in air conditioning.”
Han Jian grinned, saying, “This Ice Crystal Toad is a high-level Elite caught for me by my parents’ friends from the Ice Lake.”
“Cut it out. It’s not like everyone else’s pet isn’t an Elite.”
Han Jian’s opponent lifted his spirits at the end of his words, causing Wei Ze to immediately retort. Wu Lan, who was next to him, quickly put down her box of rice to mediate.
Given her proficient skills in this, she likely had plenty of experience in dealing with these situations.
However, Bai Qi didn’t have the energy to deal with these matters.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Black Iron 5%)
[Condition]: Activated
Ever since its activation, the progress of the Evolution Egg hadn’t changed. Bai Qi planned to go to Undead Hill to check if it was related to Undead Department Beasts. But now, it had changed again.
What exactly was the reason?
After glancing at the Ice Crystal Toad, Bai Qi pretended to retrieve his mineral water and touched the toad again.
There was no change in progress, but Bai Qi didn’t give up. He moved his target to other pets.
“Brother Gao, can I see your Fire Armor Scorpion?”
Gao Cheng looked puzzled when he heard this, but he released his Fire Armor Scorpion in front of Bai Qi.
“What, is there a problem?”
Bai Qi responded, “Nothing, I just felt a little frozen earlier. I want to warm up with the Fire Armor Scorpion.”
“…”
Gao Cheng fell silent when he heard this, but he didn’t stop Bai Qi’s action.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Black Iron 10%)
[Condition]: Activated
Indeed, it increased by five percent!
Bai Qi’s eyes shone as he roughly guessed the way to upgrade the Evolution Egg, which was to physically touch the beasts.
However, he had been petting cats and dogs at Zhuge Chen’s place after activating the Golden Finger, and there were no hints about the progress of the Evolution Egg?
Looking at it this way, it seems that not any pet will do.
Bai Qi turned his attention to the other two, casually making an excuse to touch their beasts.
Wu Lan’s Charcoal Fire Snake didn’t provide progress to the Evolution Egg, only Wei Ze’s Emerald Centipede provided a three percent progress.
Indeed, in order to evolve, you must pet beasts!
The higher the level of the species, the more progress it offers?
Also, it seems to be linked to the attributes of the species?
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, he had a rough guess in his mind. But he soon began to have a headache.
In order to increase the progress of the Evolution Egg, he must touch the beasts personally. The easiest way is to touch the beasts that have already been contracted.
But if he were to do so, he estimated that he would be locked up in the Arkham Talent Academy tomorrow.
As for wild beasts, it was even more impossible. Lower-level ones probably weren’t useful, and higher-level ones weren’t stupid. Going up rashly would only stir up hostility.
It seems a little troublesome~
Bai Qi, watching the cracks appearing again on the Evolution Egg, sighed helplessly.
If only there was a simpler way to evolve…
