Chapter 48: Chapter 47: Erha’s Evolution Path
Translator: 549690339
Looking at the Bronze Egg quietly lying in the Beast Control Space, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Immediately after, a familiar sense of exhaustion overwhelmed him.
Indeed, after upgrading the Evolution Egg, the consumption had also increased.
Bai Qi took out the God’s Water he carried with him and gulped down several mouthfuls but didn’t find much relief. He drank the whole thing, then took out several more bottles to drink before he finally relieved the feeling of weakness.
Having the ability to evolve anytime and anywhere was good, but the issue was this kind of consumption could not keep up. He couldn’t always carry a stack of God’s Water, could he?
If only he had some sort of storage equipment.
Such things were also available on the Beast Master Association’s website, but unfortunately, the price was something Bai Qi could not afford.
Moreover, even if Bai Qi could afford the price, these items were not readily available in the market.
Having weighed all factors, the most feasible option currently was to clear the next Secret Realm Tower as soon as possible to see if he could gain control.
By then, he could move both Alpha and Husky’s training area directly into the Secret Realm Tower, without worrying about being complained about.
However, that was something to be dealt with later on. What he needed to do now was to quickly contract the second pet beast.
Bai Qi walked over to Husky, patted his furry head, and asked, “Dumbo, would you like to be my pet beast?”
Ah, woo?
(Pet beast, am I not one already?)
Seeing Husky’s puzzled expression, Bai Qi smiled, then activated the second Rune Mark on the back of his left hand.
Immediately, two bronze arrays appeared under Husky’s feet and above his head, slowly converging in the middle, causing Husky’s body to gradually disappear.
The process was no different from when he contracted Alpha, except that the color of Bai Qi’s array seemed a bit unusual.
Generally, a Second Stage Beast Master’s array would be white, but Bai Qi’s was bronze.
It was probably influenced by the Bronze Egg.
Soon, the two arrays completely solidified, and a warm flow began to nourish Bai Qi’s body and soul out of thin air.
With this, he was officially a Second Stage Beast Master.
[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (psychic mutation)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Sixth Level
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Racial skills]: Mechanical Claw, Bite, Perception, Current Resistance
[Energy Value]: 600
[Condition]: Evolvable
Psychic mutation, no wonder this guy has such strong perception and learning abilities.
Only the energy value is lacking. However, once it is upgraded to the first stage, it should improve.
Woof woof woof!
(Human, where is this? Let me out quickly!)
Husky’s intelligence was clearly higher than that of Alpha. He was just contracted and he could already clearly convey his thoughts to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi summoned Husky, feeling the tight connection between him and Husky, and said, “Since you have become my pet beast, let me give you a name as well.”
Woof!
(Naming? I’ll do it myself!)
This was the first time he had so much communication with a pet beast, and Bai Qi found it very interesting, he agreed to Husky’s request.
“Tell me, what do you want your name to be?”
Ah woo! Ah woo!
(Nicholas Zhao Si!)
The Husky looked extremely excited; he tried to name himself, but Bai Qi flatly denied him.
“You’ll be called Beta. It fits well after Alpha and it’s easy to remember.”
Huh?
(What happened to canine rights? Is it over?)
Bai Qi forcefully hit the silly husky with a punch, looking at its half-machine body, something clicked in his mind.
He had picked the wrong name. What if he had contracted this mutt first? Wouldn’t it be Alpha Dog then?
Damn… Huge mistake.
Bai Qi regretfully shook his head and then, ignoring the Husky’s resistance, put it into the Beast Control Space to start hatching eggs.
Although he had evolved the Husky quite a bit recently, its growth level and bloodline level were still too low. The next step was to enhance this creature substantially.
Otherwise, when he went to challenge the next Secret Realm Tower, the Husky might not prove very useful.
“Has Celestial Brilliance left?”
Unsure if he was feeling guilty, President Qin returned, his brows furrowing slightly when he saw Bai Qi sitting alone in the training ground.
This guy, his obsession was too deep.
Hearing President Qin’s voice, Bai Qi stood up and said, “Celestial Brilliance said that I’m already a Second Stage Beast Master, so he has finished his task and left.”
“You’re already a Second Stage, no wonder… Wait a minute! What did you just say?”
Changing from his usual calm demeanor, President Qin abruptly grabbed Bai Qi’s left hand. On seeing two Rune Marks on it, he finally believed.
“You reached Second Stage after just one small training session, are Legendary Beast Masters really this powerful?”
President Qin’s face flickered with disappointment; it seemed he had some regrets about not being able to break through to legendary status. However, he quickly adjusted and spoke earnestly.
“Now that you have broken through to the Second Stage, it’s time to carefully select your second pet beast. The first one was a Mutant Species which you encountered due to good luck. This second one can’t be taken lightly.”
President Qin had barely finished his sentence when he realized there was a creature missing from the training ground. Seeing Bai Qi’s awkward smile, the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily.
“Did you contract the Arctic Ice Wolf?”
Bai Qi nodded, saying, “Yes, this creature has been raised in my house for a while; there’s a bit of emotional attachment.”
“You could keep it as a pet, given your talent, you could have contracted a much better beast.”
President Qin was extremely sullen, but since the pet beast had been contracted and it couldn’t be changed, he could only find an alternate solution.
“Forget it, an Arctic Ice Wolf it is then. At least it’s from a superior species, so it needs good nurturing.”
“There are a few successful breeders of Arctic Ice Wolf kings in the Beast Master Association. I’ll be sure to get them to guide you.”
An Arctic Ice Wolf King? It seemed there was no chance for this creature’s evolution to go in that direction anymore.
Thinking about the half-machine armor on the Husky, Bai Qi ruled out this evolution path.
“Are there any other potential evolutionary routes? I already have one Ice Attribute beast.”
President Qin pondered a moment, then said, “As far as I know, the Arctic Ice Wolf has two other cultivation paths.”
“One is the Blood Moon Werewolf, a dual attribute of Dark/Ice, at the Mid-Level Lord Level. However, the breeding difficulty is quite significant, and it needs a specific environment, so I don’t recommend it.”
“The other one is the Green-scaled Wolf, a dual attribute of Ice/Poison,
Low-level Lord, with relatively low breeding difficulty. You can attempt this if you’re interested.”
“Note, both of these directions will slightly influence the temperament of the Arctic Ice Wolf, so prepare yourself for a significant change in its nature.”
“The main reason I don’t suggest you cultivate the Blood Moon Werewolf is that a Beast Master was once injured by his own pet beast. It may be very powerful, but it’s too risky.”
Upon hearing of the two alternate evolution paths given by President Qin, Bai Qi felt both of them were promising, even if the creature experienced significant changes in its temperament.
Could it be more exaggerated than Beta, this daft creature?
