章節 8: Chapter 7: Blind Obedience is Undesirable
Creak, crack.
(Master, I think I got a bit stronger.)
Just as Bai Qi was contemplating how to enhance Alpha's armaments, Alpha suddenly relayed a message to him, breaking Bai Qi's train of thought.
Alpha had used Bone-breaking Reformation to heal its injuries. Curiously prodding at the area that had been broken previously, Bai Qi looked along with it and noticed something unusual as well.
These bones, seemed to have gotten stronger?
Did Bone-breaking Reformation have this effect?
Bai Qi cast a dubious gaze towards the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger's leg which had been broken earlier. Not noticing anything unusual, he pondered for a moment before turning to Lan Shao, "Could I just train in defense for now?"
Startled at these words, Lan Shao nodded, "Of course, your beast's evasive capabilities are indeed not bad."
"Alright, thank you."
Bai Qi expressed his thoughts to Lan Shao, causing Lan Shao's expression to become puzzled, "Are you sure about this?"
Bai Qi nodded, "Yes, it might just be a bit troublesome."
Lan Shao responded, "Not really, as long as you don't mind."
Having second thoughts? No chance. Didn't you see that the skeleton is even more excited than the Beast Master?
Bai Qi quickly disassembled Alpha's mechanical guard and sent Alpha back into battle. However, Lu Yuan didn't rush to join the fight, instead he watched from the sidelines.
His Ghost Bone Giant Tiger had been using skills to fight earlier and consumed quite a bit of energy, so he needed some time to recover.
He wanted to see what this strange mechanical skeleton's master was thinking.
"Ice Wolf King, attack."
Upon receiving Lan Shao's order, the Ice Wolf King looked at the small skeleton, which wasn't even as big as his paw, in front of him, glancing uncertainly at its master.
"Really smack it?"
"Smack!"
"What if I smash it?"
"Just don't hit the head."
After getting confirmation from its Beast Master, the Ice Wolf King stopped hesitating and directly smashed its paw towards Alpha. Alpha instantly shattered, leaving only a perfectly intact skull.
Yet within no time, all of Alpha's bones reattached under some mysterious force, swiftly restoring to its original form.
This little skeleton recovers so fast.
This time both Lan Shao and Lu Yuan noticed Alpha's excessive recovery speed. However, after considering Alpha's mutant status, they quickly let it go and continued attacking Alpha.
Mutation, well, it's pretty normal.
...
Three hours passed in a flash.
"Time's just about up, let's bring the training to an end."
Lan Shao watched the still eager Alpha and Bai Qi, and said with a bitter smile, "Although undead beasts recover fast as long as their soul cores aren't damaged, you have to know when to stop."
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Qi nodded, but the excited expression on his face gave him away.
[Name]: Skeleton Soldier (Alpha)
[Race]: Undead Department
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage, Level Four
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servants (Mutated)
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Proficient), Skeletal Hardening (Proficient), Stealth (Novice)
[Condition]: Evolvable
Bai Qi patted Alpha's small head, which seemed to find it to be quite enjoyable, creating a series of crisp cracking sounds.
Become stronger, stronger!
Even though its growth level did not rise, Bone-breaking Reformation and Skeletal Hardening had both become proficient. The efficiency was terrifying.
The Beast Master Association's training was really different; those five hundred dollars were well-spent.
It's a pity that he couldn't afford to keep coming, his wallet couldn't handle it.
Sigh~
I wonder when I'll be able to obtain the Beast Master license, otherwise, I won't even be able to afford a pet.
"If there's nothing else, I will leave first."
After greeting Lan Shao and Lu Yuan, Bai Qi left the training room directly.
"Uh, goodbye. Huh?!"
Lu Yuan nodded blankly, then suddenly remembered that he had not asked Bai Qi where he got the Little Skeleton from, and quickly chased after him.
However, he was a step too late.
"Considering his age, he should be in university, and I think there's only one university in Gusu City, the Star Mechanics Academy. Is he a student there?"
Lu Yuan recalled the mechanical armor on Alpha earlier, and suddenly understood. He turned to ask Lan Shao who was next to him.
"Is the person who was training with us just now a student from Star Mechanics?"
Lan Shao thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, he is a student of the Mechanic Martial Arts Department in Star Mechanics Academy."
Mechanic Martial Arts?
The speciality that provides weapons design and manufacturing services for mechanical Beast Masters?
Do researchers have this kind of training?
Lu Yuan unconsciously looked at the Ghost Bone Giant Tiger in front of him and couldn't help but ask Lan Shao, "Is the training method he used just now really feasible?"
Lan Shao was taken aback, pondered his words, answered, "Every Beast Master has their unique training methods, it really depends on you. However, I personally believe that blind obedience is not advisable."
Lu Yuan nodded. Looking at the imposing Ghost Bone Giant Tiger in front of him, he dismissed Bai Qi's unconventional training method.
He specially came to Gusu City to study with the Son of Celestial Brilliance, he will certainly learn the most effective training method for the Undead Department Beasts.
This peculiar method, it's better not to learn.
"I want to continue training, deduct the fee from my account."
"Hmm~"
"This time, I want the exclusive use of the area!"
...
After leaving the Beast Master Association, Bai Qi, feeling a bit hungry, quickly walked towards the nearest commercial street.
Alpha is of the Undead Clan, he can go without food or sleep, but I'm a human, I can't do that.
Also, the use of Evolution Egg requires physical and mental energy, hence, my food requirements are even higher.
"Phew~ I am really broke now."
Bai Qi tossed two large bags on the ground, looked at the bottles and cans inside, opened one bottle, hesitated for a moment, but still threw a gray pill into his mouth.
Compressed ration pill.
It's the most widely circulated type of compressed food on the market, consuming one can sustain a normal person's physical requirements for half a day. It's suitable for researchers who don't have time to eat or Beast Masters who adventure outside.
But the taste, well~
You get what you pay for, that's the universal truth in any world.
Bai Qi managed to swallow one compressed ration pill, then chugged a few mouthfuls of water, which finally removed some of the indescribable taste in his mouth.
"I need to think of a way to make some money, the taste of nutrient solution is said to be a lot better."
Having solved his food issue, Bai Qi summoned Alpha again.
Clickety-clack.
("Master, are we continuing training?")
As soon as Alpha appeared, he expressed his desire to continue training to Bai Qi, who shook his head and said, "No rush, we need to balance work and rest, let's first level up the bloodline."
Clickety-clack.
Alpha's eyes dimmed, he was clearly regretful.
"When we have money, let's go back to the training."
On seeing the disappointed face of Alpha, who looked like a child denied candy, Bai Qi was surprised.
From low-grade servants to high-grade ones, Alpha's intelligence had increased greatly.
Well, it should be equivalent to a three to five-year-old child.
I wonder how much it will increase when he breaks through to the Elite Level.
Bai Qi put his right hand on Alpha's head, a pitch-black eggshell once more enveloped Alpha, and Bai Qi returned to his own workshop.
