15 Chapter 14: The Medicine Cannot Be Stopped
Translator: 549690339
Though it was a bit difficult, Bai Qi was truly satisfied that he’d discovered a way to improve the Evolution Egg’s upgrade path.
“Alpha, let’s keep going.”
Bai Qi drained the icy water in his hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
He had cleared out 68 Screaming Mushrooms in the morning, and along with the 1000 Federation coins guaranteed by the task, he had already earned 4400 Federation coins.
According to the current trend, earning three to four thousand more in the afternoon wouldn’t be a problem. By then, his financial woes would be temporarily resolved.
Thinking about finally escaping the torment of compressed food pills, Bai Qi couldn’t help but have sparks in his eyes. He chose a new direction and started harvesting on a large scale.
“Don’t they ever get tired?”
Seeing the equally excited Bai Qi and Alpha, Wei Ze and the other two glanced at each other, wondering what to make of their own pet beasts who were too lazy to move due to energy exhaustion.
“It’s normal, Undead Department Pets’ stamina is endless if they don’t use skills.”
Gao Cheng struggled to provide an explanation, but no one knew whether he believed it himself.
He had heard of undead creatures possessing unlimited stamina, but he had never heard of Undead Department Beastmasters possessing the same trait.
Bai Qi naturally did not know what they were thinking. He took Alpha to search for the Screaming Mushrooms everywhere, while the others also lost the mood to rest and started working with their clearly somewhat reluctant pet beasts.
…
By evening, Bai Qi and Alpha returned, fully loaded, and had already begun planning how to use this income.
As for Gao Cheng and the others, they were all, without exception, somewhat wiped out.
Their pet beasts did not have Alpha’s supermodel speed, so they could only rely on skills to clear the Screaming Mushrooms.
As time went on, the recovery of energy value became a problem, and mistakes became more frequent.
It was almost certain that they would not take this task again tomorrow.
Gao Cheng looked at the sky and handed over the storage box in his hand to the staff, saying, “It’s getting late; we should go back too. Everyone still has to go to class tomorrow.”
Other than him and Bai Qi, the other three were high school students. Although they were combat professionals, they still needed to study humanities courses.
After all, one could not train a Beast Master without a good command of knowledge.
They had no objection to Gao Cheng’s opinion. After settling the task rewards, they set off on their return journey together.
Not long after, the three of them, Wu Lan were deep in sleep, with only Bai Qi still eager to deal with the first pot of gold he had earned.
He had earned a total of 8100 Federation coins today, far exceeding his estimate, enough for him to buy a lot of nutrient solutions and go to the training ground several more times.
However, in this way, there would not be enough funds to equip mechanical armament.
Forget it, first improve Alpha’s level, and wait until he gets the professional Beast Control license to solve the problem of funds.
Gao Cheng glanced at Bai Qi and suddenly asked, “Bai Qi, you are also planning to take the professional Beast Master exam, right?”
In this era, there are many professions related to Beast Control, such as the traditional Beast Breeding Master, who is responsible for breeding, the Alchemist who makes potions with pet beast materials, or the emerging Mechanical Beast Master.
All these professions were born around pet beasts, but they all have one thing in common. They are auxiliary professions.
Since Bai Qi was a mechanical beast student, it was expected that he would become a Mechanical Beast Master, but after a day of contact, Gao Cheng firmly believed that Bai Qi would definitely participate in the professional Beast Master assessment.
After all, he had never seen any Mechanical Beast Master who would modify a non-mechanical pet beast.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded and said, “Yes, I will strive to get the license this year. It will give me more options for taking tasks.”
Whether it is the Evolution Egg or the Mechanical Armament, both require a lot of financial support. Relying on F-grade tasks alone is not enough.
“Huh, isn’t your pet beast only at the Zero Stage Sixth level?”
Gao Cheng was full of question marks, “It should be somewhat difficult to improve to the First Stage, right?”
Although the rise of Pet Beast Growth Level is not as difficult as the Race level, it becomes more difficult as it gets higher, especially the promotion of the major stages, which is even more difficult.
“It is a bit difficult. Otherwise, I planned to participate in the assessment in June directly. Now, I can only team up with you, Brother Gao, next time.”
The professional Beast Master assessment is conducted every three months, and now it is currently mid-May, so the assessment in June is just over twenty days away.
Although there was the Evolution Egg’s cheat, Bai Qi did not think he could get Alpha upgraded to the First Stage in just twenty-something days.
Seeing Bai Qi’s confident look, Gao Cheng was once again at a loss for words.
Are all top students this confident nowadays?
It took him more than two years to train his Fire Armor Scorpion to the First Stage, and Bai Qi plans to upgrade by six levels in half a year?
Also, what do you mean, team up with me next time?
Is it really polite to say that?
The corner of Gao Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly, but he still advised, “I still suggest that you train your primary attack skills a bit more. After all, the professional Beast Master assessment looks at abilities in all aspects.”
Bai Qi nodded and said, “Alright, I will focus on training after I return.”
Alpha had just gained an attack skill, Shadow Lotus Skill, yesterday and hadn’t had time to train it, but Gao Cheng’s words also served as a reminder to Bai Qi.
Despite Alpha’s high speed, he might encounter opponents with control skills. At that time, relying solely on the Shadow Lotus Skill seemed somewhat insufficient.
…
After they returned to Gusu City, they all went their separate ways. Bai Qi, however, visited the commercial street once again before returning home.
Looking at his recently replenished balance shrinking again, Bai Qi felt a pang of pain. Only after seeing the box of nutrient solutions did he feel a little better.
With the support of the nutrient solutions, the side effects of the Evolution Egg should be reduced a lot.
But he would try it first anyway.
Bai Qi summoned Alpha, opened a bottle of nutrient solution, and then wrapped Alpha in the Evolution Egg again.
A feeling of weakness came over him once again, and Bai Qi immediately finished the nutrient solution.
Sour and sweet, it tasted a little like fruit juice.
Bai Qi smacked his lips, then felt a gentle energy instantly flowing throughout his body, completely dispelling the weakness, and even feeling a lot better than before.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for. What the heck is a compressed food pill? Straight to the blacklist!
Bai Qi looked at the nutrient solution in his hand with satisfaction. In this way, he could boldly use the Evolution Egg.
He just hoped that this nutrient solution would not develop a resistance, lost its effectiveness after drinking too much.
Never mind, once he became a professional Beast Master, he could change to a new one.
He couldn’t stop taking the nutrient solution~
