Chapter 350: Chapter 346: Strange Metal

Seeing Zhuge Xu nodding affirmatively, Bai Qi was left speechless.

“Uncle Zhuge, I’m just a student and not exactly cut out for this, shouldn’t professors Dong and Chu handle this?”

Zhuge Xu shook his head, saying, “I’ve already asked the two professors, and they unanimously agree that you’re the most suitable. You know their temperaments, others wouldn’t agree with either of them.”

“Furthermore, we want you to be just a nominal head of the institute, there’s no difference from before. All you need to do is sit back and count the money.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

After pondering for a while, Bai Qi agreed.

It wasn’t about the money, he was just tired of watching the two professors quarrel.

Seeing Bai Qi agree, a smile appeared on Zhuge Xu’s face. “Now, Mr. President, let’s get back to business. Do you agree to the Yanhuo, Bing Yu, and Zhan Lei corporations joining the institute?”

Bai Qi glanced at the three of them and nodded, saying, “Since they are Uncle Zhuge’s friends, I have no objections.”

Zhuge Xu smiled with satisfaction and said, “In that case, we’ll come back to discuss the details of establishing the institute after we have done our research. Meanwhile, could you please name the institute, Bai Qi?”

“Name it?”

Bai Qi felt a headache coming on. Naming things was not his forte, evidenced by the lazy names of his pets.

“How about ‘Super God Evolution Research Institute’?”

“Super God Evolution? Surpassing the myth, not bad.”

Zhuge Xu exchanged glances with the others and immediately agreed with Bai Qi’s suggestion.

“So, Mr. Bai Qi, the president of the Super God Evolution Research Institute, we’ll be in touch.”

Zhuge Xu patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, saying, “You helped Uncle Zhuge a lot with the dojo war. The fame of the Wuhou dojo is established. From today onwards, whatever you need, report directly to Zhuge Chen. The Wuhou Corporation will handle everything for you free of charge.”

“Alright, thanks Uncle Zhuge.”

Bai Qi smiled, the spark in his eyes momentarily causing Zhuge Xu to regret his recent decision.

It seemed, his words were too promising.

“Ah…by the way, there’s one more thing. Regarding the video of your earlier battle, I wish to use it for promotional purposes to popularize the Wuhou dojo. Do you have any objections?”

“Don’t worry, it’s just some short clips and won’t expose much of your capabilities.”

“No problem, it’s not a big deal anyway. Uncle, you can do as you please.”

Bai Qi nodded, his pocket vibrated suddenly. He looked at his phone and saw it was a text message from Bai Qiucha.

“Father is back and he wants us to return to the manor.”

Bai Qi closed the phone and said, “I apologize, Uncle Zhuge, but my professor needs me. I have to leave now.”

“Go ahead, family matters are important. Zhuge Chen, could you please accompany Bai Qi?”

Zhuge Xu smiled faintly, and watched Bai Qi leave. As soon as Bai Qi was out of sight, his expression changed.

“You saw the fight just now, didn’t you?”

Cao Bin nodded, “Yes, it’s a product of the Western Frankenstein family.”

“Sima Jing actually revealed such a thing willingly. It seems very suspicious.”

Sun Tian frowned.

“I believe Sima Jing did so purposely, so that we wouldn’t miss it.”

Liu Bei expressed his opinion, which was agreed upon by Zhuge Xu. “Zhonghu Consortium has been growing rapidly these past two years. It seems they no longer want to keep a low profile and decided to use us as their weapon.”

“Humph, does he really think he can extricate himself so easily? Bai Chuanqi is not so easily swindled.”

Zhuge Xu scoffed, “Since the Death Metal has been taken by Bai Qi, we can rest easy and concentrate on our affairs.”

“Indeed.”

Cao Bin nodded, “So now it’s time to discuss the details of the organizational framework for the Super God Evolution Research Institute…”

…

Bai Manor.

Bai Heguang looked at the chains in Alpha’s hands thoughtfully.

“Jiuyou, are you certain?”

“There’s no need to check. The scent of the Power of Death can be smelled from a distance.”

The Jiuyou Darkbird preened its feathers, “This group from the Death Round Table, I have no idea what they’re up to, the scent of Death is so messy, it’s quite nauseating.”

“Teacher, are you sure it’s the Death Round Table?”

Bai Qi frowned, asking.

“For now, I can’t be 100% certain. But considering the metal’s material, it can’t be unconnected to the Death Round Table. Where did you get it?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately narrated his encounter at Wuhou dojo. After listening, Bai Heguang was lost in thought.

“Zhonghu dojo…the Frankenstein family?”

After a brief silence, Bai Heguang took a piece of that chain and stored it, saying, “I’ll have someone investigate the chain matter. Beware not to leak any information about it. Also, be careful, the Death Round Table may target you again.”

“I understand.”

Bai Qi nodded and asked, “By the way, teacher, how are things with Taize Lake?”

Bai Heguang shook his head and said, “The Beast Soul Warriors don’t know much, they were just ordered to spread the Original Sin Elixir.”

“Original Sin Elixir?”

Bai Qi was somewhat curious.

“Recently, ferocious beasts across the Federation have been agitated, originating from this Original Sin Elixir. This elixir can take on various forms, once beast ingests it, its emotional fluctuations will be amplified, leading to the incidents that happened before.”

“However, it seems these guys don’t know the specific situation underneath Taize Lake, you got to them before they had a chance to spread it.”

Hmm… Perhaps they were scared off by the Cowskin Snake.

Bai Qi scratched his head, “What about the seal underneath Taize Lake, didn’t they break it?”

“I haven’t investigated it thoroughly yet. For now, I’ve temporarily patched the seal, it should hold for the short term. Once the personnel from the association and the Thirteenth Bureau arrive, we’ll make plans.”

Bai Heguang rubbed his eyebrows, “I’ve heard about your wilderness training, you did well. Remember to get more practical experience. I won’t assign you any tasks, President Qin will contact you.”

“I have to go verify some things, so I can’t stay longer.”

Upon hearing Bai Heguang’s words, Bai Qi inevitably asked, “Teacher, won’t you rest for a few more days? Didn’t you say someone else would carry out the investigation?”

“It’s okay, I’ve rested for half a month, that’s enough.”

Bai Heguang shook his head as the Jiuyou Darkbird instantly enlarged, carrying him up.

“You two have a month left before the training ends, make sure to perform well.”

After that, Jiuyou Darkbird carried Bai Heguang and transformed into a long dark rainbow, disappearing into the horizon.

“Teacher really gives his all, are all Titled Legendary the same?”

Bai Qi smacked his lips and asked Bai Qiucha.

“Not only is it our father, but all Titled Legendary, Legendary, and even Masters are like that. Haven’t you seen President Qin and Brother Luo? They never stop.”

Bai Qiucha helplessly shrugged in response.

“Heavens, I believe I need to think ahead.”

Upon hearing these words, Bai Qi realized just how busy he’d be once he reached the Six Stage. Upon completion of the training, it would be best to avoid going to the headquarters and stay in Gusu City to focus on his research behind the scenes. He would refrain from venturing out even if he became a Legendary.

996, 007, he didn’t want to undergo such treatment in this alternative world.

“After the fight, I’m a bit tired. I’ll head home first, see you later.”

After some idle chatter, Bai Qi mounted Delta and flew home. As for Bai Qiucha, he enthusiastically took out the items he had just purchased to build a new home for the Stormrat.

Though the Bone Dragon Secret Realm had plenty of space, the environment inside was somewhat poor. It was time to improve the living conditions for the Stormrat.

…

Secret Realm Base.

As soon as Bai Qi arrived home, he headed straight for the Secret Realm Base and went directly to the laboratory.

“Yu, analyze the composition of this chain, be careful not to touch it. It could harm you.”

“Alright, Grandpa.”

Yu responded. Various instruments were activated and started to analyze the chain obtained from the Abominable Butcher.

Creak, creak.

(Master, there’s something strange about this chain. It doesn’t seem like metal but some kind of creature.)

“Some kind of creature?”

Bai Qi couldn’t help but recall the Abominable Butcher’s first transformation. The chains did indeed resemble blood vessels. However, now that they had absorbed the Power of Death, it was hard to tell.

“Is it like the Death Knight we encountered in the Sun Secret Realm?”

Alpha shook his head.

(Somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. It seems more chaotic and has more impurities.)

“Chaotic?”

Bai Qi smirked. Both Jiuyou Darkbird and Alpha gave the same impression of the chain. Undoubtedly, it was made using the Power of Death. But what exactly did the maker put in was worth pondering over.

“Schuck, does the Endless Material Science have anything similar?”

Unsure, Schuck said, “There is, but apart from the Morning Star’s meteorite and creatures like Alpha, I can’t think of anything else that could withstand the Power of Death.”

“We have it now.”

Bai Qi pointed at the chain, “From here on, focus on analyzing the structure of this chain together with Yu. If it could be replicated, that would be the best.”

If his hunch was correct, the Death Knights were perhaps made of this type of metal, like in a special armor or puppet. And if he could replicate the material, could he potentially create an army of Death Knights?

Borrowing a leaf from their book to defeat them, researching this to combat the Death Round Table, his teacher wouldn’t object to it, right?
