“Hahaha, that’s good. You all are of the same age, you should hang out more often.”
Xia Yi nodded and said, “Bai Qi, you must be busy with things, sol won’t bother you further. I’ll ask Xia Xuan to reach out to you about the Meeh Martial Research Room, you can take it over then.”
“Alright, thanks a lot, Uncle Xia.”
Bai Qi nodded, then sent Xia Yi and his son out of his home.
“Unexpectedly, Fox Xia was so generous this time, he really saw the profit behind the Spirit-Control Orb,” he mused.
After Xia Yi left, Zhuge Xu’s expression changed abruptly. He said, “Bai Qi, it would be best not to retain any of the personnel from Fox Xia’s research room. If you don’t mind, Uncle Zhuge can help you hire some people to work there.”
Bai Qi nodded, responding, “Don’t worry, Uncle Zhuge, I get it.”
A Meeh Martial Research Room, even a small one, couldn’t be operated by a single person. The Xia’s Group would certainly have arranged some trusted minions inside.
As for their purpose, it would not stop at stealing data, they would also seek to get the latest information.
Unfortunately for them, Bai Qi never intended anyone to operate these machines.
He originally planned to demand professional Meeh Martial Research equipment from the Xia’s Group to replace the junk at his home. But, unexpectedly, they were so giving. Not only did they grant him a fraction of the profits, but also an entire Meeh Martial Research Room.
To this, Bai Qi noted how good it was to have money.
Seeing that Bai Qi understood his intention, Zhuge Xu nodded and said, “Bai Qi, you really are formidable not only mastering Rune Evolution, but you were also able to create something like the Spirit-Control Orb. Uncle Zhuge had a good time feeling like a Beast Master.”
With that, Zhuge Xu opened his coat revealing a belt studded with Spirit- Control Orb.
“Huh, weren’t the Spirit-Control Orbs yet to be distributed?”
At Bai Qi’s remark, Zhuge Xu chuckled, “The official distribution should be in three days. But, Uncle Zhuge does have some clout in the Federation. So, I had someone get me a few.”
“The Federation even marked them with a serial number, but alas, the early numbers were already reserved by others. I could only get these few.”
Bai Qi curiously looked at the Spirit-Control Orb Zhuge Xu handed over. Their overall structure was the same as those he’d made, but the manufacturing material was different. On the Spirit Power Storage Device inside, a long serial number was marked.
“10000,10010,10086?!”
Bai Qi, looking at the serial numbers, unknowingly raised his voice. In response, Zhuge Xu asked curiously, “Why, is there an issue with these numbers?”
“No, no issue, on the contrary, I think they’re quite good!”
Bai Qi vigorously shook his head. There was no doubt that the three major mobile companies were bound to invade the foreign world sooner or later. This was too much of a coincidence, nobody could match this.
“If there’s no problem, that’s good.”
Zhuge Xu took the Spirit-Control Orb returned by Bai Qi and added, “Uncle Zhuge has a few things to prepare, so I won’t keep you any longer. Your guys can continue your chat.”
Finishing his sentence, Zhuge Xu walked decisively towards the outside of the house. He didn’t wait for Bai Qi’s response and left directly in his car.
“Uncle Zhuge is still as decisive and resolute as before.”
“It’s just because he’s eager to make money. If there’s no money to be made, he would have been slower than most,” figured Fengxing.
Zhuge Chen shrugged his shoulders, looked at Bai Qi, and asked, “Also, you’ll soon become the most famous person in the Federation. Are you prepared for that?”
“Prepared? What do I need to prepare for?”
A puzzled Bai Qi responded, leaving Zhuge Chen speechless.
“Your home address was thoroughly investigated by paparazzi the moment you became the valedictorian of the two-city joint exam. However, there wasn’t much action since you went to the Association Headquarters for training right after. Do you think the paparazzi will ignore you once the Spirit-Control Orbs are distributed?”
“Ah, you have a point.”
Bai Qi’s expression changed. The ruthlessness of paparazzi was something he understood from his previous life. Once the Federation announced his identity, living in his current house would be impossible.
Should he hide out at Cha’s house instead?
Yes, that was the plan.
Seeing Bai Qi’s serious demeanor, Zhuge Chen sympathetically patted his shoulder, saying, “Take care, Genius.”
“Let’s not talk about this for now. How has Garulu been recently?”
Bai Qi didn’t want to dwell on the topic and redirected the conversation.
“Not bad. As Garulu and I were already acquainted, having another way to communicate has improved our bond. However, I am still rather inexperienced when it comes to combat.”
Zhuge Chen sheepishly scratched his head. He had always thought about how to direct his pet beast in combat when he had no talent. Now that he could actually direct it, he was a little out of his depth.
“It’s okay, you’ll get used to it.”
Bai Qi added, “I have a gift for Garulu, summon him.”
“A gift for Garulu?”
Zhuge Chen was somewhat confused, but obediently summoned Garulu. At the same time, Bai Qi took out a cool mech and started fitting it on Garulu.
Soon, a metallic armor that covered almost all Garulu was assembled.
Metal Twin Wings, mechanical weapons all over the body, coupled with Garulu’s innate chilling aura, he looked like a so-called Steel Garulu.
“Is this…mechanical modification like Schuck?”
Zhuge Chen knew about Schuck’s situation. Seeing Garulu, whose design was similar to Schuck, he couldn’t help but wonder.
“It’s not exactly mechanical modification, strictly speaking, it should be considered as external armor.”
Bai Qi shook his head and answered, “I haven’t found a way to integrate machinery and flesh yet. However, creating an external armor was relatively easy. You could think of it as a mechanical prosthetic for combat.”
Zhuge Chen nodded and then started to excitedly examine Garulu’s brand new look.
Robotic armor was every boy’s dream.
“Bai Qi, do you have a place where we can battle here? Can I give it a try?”
After taking a look for a while, Zhuge Chen seemed eager to try; Bai Qi, who had guessed Zhuge Chen’s thoughts, directly took him to the Secret Realm Base.
“Bai Qi, is this…”
Looking at the overly expansive base in front of him, Zhuge Chen was astounded.
“Let’s go, the battlefield is ahead, let’s go try it out there.”
Bai Qi patted Zhuge Chen’s shoulder to snap him back to reality and then started walking toward the battlefield with him.
“Hero, please save me!”
At this moment, a worm like grass suddenly bolted from the side corridor, and upon seeing Bai Qi, quickly darted into his arms, looking fearfully behind it.
“What’s going on?”
Before Bai Qi could figure out what was going on, Husky and Gamma came rushing up, one holding a scalpel and the other a dinner knife, both were in a deadly mood, firmly locked onto the worm grass in Bai Qi’s arms.
However, as soon as they saw Bai Qi, Beta was the first to react. He directly stabbed the scalpel in his hand into Gamma’s body and then started humming a tune, as if nothing had happened. After a brief moment of surprise, Gamma also followed Beta’s lead, swallowed the butter knife, and then directly converted it into energy.
“Are you two really planning to simmer Epsilon in a stew?!”
Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly, he had explicitly warned them before he left, but the thing he was worried about still happened.
This worm grass isn’t a rare supplement or anything, why are they chasing it?
Howl! Howl!
(Humans, do not misunderstand, I was just seeing that Epsilon’s vines are a little messy, and was just trying to help him groom. Yes, just to groom him!)
Crackle. Crack.
(Hmm, hmm, Gamma was just helping Beta, we didn’t plan to cook Epsilon.)
“Heh, do you really think I believe that?”
Bai Qi rolled his eyes and immediately called Alpha over. He said, “Alpha, from nowon, this guy is going with you, don’t let them actually stew him.”
Epsilon was his reserved fifth pet, if he got cooked by these two, he wouldn’t know where else to find another pet.
Creak,creak.
(Okay, boss.)
Alpha nodded and took the worm grass from Bai Qi and put it on his shoulder.
“Um, hero, how about letting them stew me, just a few slices won’t kill me.”
Feeling the deathly aura coming from Alpha, the worm grass’s body was shaking like a sieve, suddenly finding Beta and Gamma so adorable.
Howl!
(Human, you heard him, it’s his own willingness!)
Beta was suddenly intrigued, but Bai Qi just ignored them and went straight to the battlefield with Zhuge Chen.
“Here, this is my battlefield, you can safely try your skills.”
Bai Qi pointed to the battlefield in front of him, hinting at Zhuge Chen to proceed at will.
“This exosuit will automatically respond to Garulu’s minor movements, but for some other operations, Garulu has to control them itself. You’ll need to take some time to familiarize yourself.”
“All right.”
Zhuge Chen nodded, summoned Garulu, pointed to the metal target in the battlefield, and said, “Garulu, use Charge!”
Garulu turned into an afterimage and disappeared directly, then landed a paw on the metal target, leaving three deep claw marks on it.
“Huh? Has Garulu’s speed increased?”
Zhuge Chen looked at Garulu, who was faster and more destructive than usual with a bit of confusion, but quickly came to his senses.
“Is it because of the exosuit?”
Bai Qi nodded and said, “The external armor has features to assist acceleration and help exert force. Once you are familiar with it, the effect should be even better.”
Zhuge Chen: “…”
“Oh right, let Garulu try this feature. This is my magnum opus, no big deal about the rest.”
Bai Qi murmured to Zhuge Chen for a while. Although Zhuge Chen was somewhat skeptical, he still conveyed Bai Qi’s words to Garulu.
Howl…
Accompanied by a long howl, a gust of frost started to form around Garulu and began to gather in its mouth. However, runes suddenly lit up on the external armor, and it began to actively draw energy from Garulu.
Then, two missiles with blue rune marks flew out from under Garulu’s wings and directly hit the metal target not far away.
A lot of chill escaped from the missile, instantly freezing the metal target. Afterward, the target shattered under the impact of the explosion, turning into frost on the ground.
The absolute freeze, a success!
