Chapter 369: Chapter 365: I’m Really Innocent!

At Bai Qi’s home.

Looking at Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, who were engrossed in their research, Bai Qi wore a face that screamed, “I give up on life.”

“I suddenly feel like running away from home…”

Woo~

(In this dog’s opinion, it probably won’t make a difference if you run away, human.)

Beta patted Bai Qi’s shoulder sympathetically and delivered a silent blow.

“You’re not getting any meals today. You can eat when I get my thoughts in order.”

Woo!

(How can you treat your dog like this, human!)

Beta immediately became stone-faced at this. Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, who were busy inside, finally noticed Bai Qi.

“Son, you’re back? Great, we need some materials over here. Here’s the list. Go and buy them for us.”

Luo Zhu tossed a shopping list to Bai Qi and immediately resumed her research. The design showing on their smart device undoubtedly targeted the Dragon Cub Beast.

Bai Qi felt very fortunate that he had given away the Dragon Cub Beast; otherwise, it would have ended up dissected by his parents, right?

And also, didn’t the pair even notice that their son was missing for several days?

“Schuck, buy according to this list. I’m going to take a nap.”

Bai Qi tossed the list to Schuck and headed straight to his bedroom.

“There’s so much. Are you sure your house can hold all of this, Beast Master?”

Schuck scanend over the materials on the list, unable to resist expressing his doubts.

“Just figure it out yourself, I’m wiped out.”

Bai Qi yawned. The combined exhaustion of his mind and body made him want to collapse in bed and sleep. As for other things.

He could think about those after he woke up.

Seeing Bai Qi like this, Schuck didn’t disturb him and promptly connected to the internet to make extensive purchases.

“With so much stuff, we need a larger place to set it up.”

…

“Ahh, I haven’t slept this well in a while.”

Bai Qi stretched lazily, his face full of satisfaction.

It felt so good to take a day off from meditation, sleep studies, and research.

“Schuck, what time is it now? Did anyone come looking for me?”

Bai Qi saw the high-hanging sun outside and asked Schuck.

“It is 7 am right now, and no one has come looking for you, Beast Master.”

Schuck instantly arrived at Bai Qi’s side and added, “Also, I’ve sent all the materials you asked me to buy to the mansion on the outskirts. I’ve already alerted your parents.”

“Mansion? When did I get a mansion?”

Bai Qi looked lost, while Schuck promptly pulled up the purchase record.

“The materials you asked me to buy took up too much space. There’s simply no room here, so I bought a mansion in the outskirts for you.”

Schuck calmly replied. Then, without waiting for Bai Qi’s question, he replayed their conversation from yesterday.

Bai Qi was silent. Schuck’s foresight had caught him off guard. And after seeing the cost of the mansion, he felt an intense pang in his heart.

This money could have bought so many materials…

“What a waste, this is such a waste…”

Bai Qi felt greatly distressed, but what’s done was done. There was nothing else to do now.

“Forget it, the purchase has been made. Let’s just renovate it well to avoid running to the base for everything.”

Bai Qi stood up and asked, “By the way, has there been any news from the Twilight Tomb? Has my teacher returned?”

Schuck shook his head, “President Qin and the others are still at Undead Hill, it seems Bai Chuanqi hasn’t come out yet.”

Bai Qi understood. Based on what his teacher said, the Twilight Tomb was a product of the Dark Emperor Period dating back over four thousand years. It probably would not be easy to explore.

“It’s a pity. If it was not for the Death Round Table, Alpha might have been able to level up again.”

The third floor was so dense with shadow energy, the following floors… maybe even sleeping there could raise one’s level?

With that thought, Bai Qi suddenly asked, “Schuck, did we keep the Soul Charm from the Death Knight?”

Schuck nodded and projected a hologram of the Soul Charm in front of Bai Qi.

“Alchemy… Quite interesting. I wonder why it got banned.”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up; his brain filled with a desire to research.

“Let’s go to the base and research this. A charm that can create legendary creatures definitely holds research value.”

Seeing Bai Qi heading back to the base, Schuck sighed, resigned.

This family truly is something. They research like mad, one and all.

Woo?

(Why does this dog feel that you’re barking up the wrong tree? Woo woo… Schuck, you’re even zapping yourself!)

…

At the Undead Hill.

With the first level control center left by Bai Qi, the investigation work for the Twilight Tomb proceeded smoothly, and the giant tomb that had been sealed for thousands of years was fully exposed to human eyes.

At the same time, Bai Heguang also crawled out of the tomb.

“Heguang, why did you stay in there so long?”

President Qin asked.

“I checked the first few layers and patched up some gaps, so there was some delay.”

Bai Heguang gave a brief explanation, and President Qin nodded, asking, “Do we need to send people for further exploration?”

Bai Heguang paused for a moment, saying, “The first two layers can be opened up to the young Beast Masters of the Undead Department. It is very beneficial for the growth of the beasts. As for the other departments, it’s not a bad idea to use them for practical training.”

Upon hearing this, President Qin nodded, saying, “I understand. I will arrange for other people to explore, and then make arrangements.”

Bai Heguang nodded, saying, “I will go back first, and leave the rest to you, President.”

“Alright, make sure to rest well. There have been a lot of things going on recently.”

President Qin looked at Bai Heguang, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

As one of the Federation’s top combat forces, Bai Heguang had to bear even greater responsibilities. Especially with the current busy season, not only Bai Heguang, but also other legends and even the sixth-stage masters, were crushing under pressure.

After Bai Heguang left, President Qin turned his head and looked at the Twilight Tomb, with a gleam in his eyes.

.The Witch Ghoul’s Great Tomb had a much higher value than Gemini Tower.

No, if it could be fully developed, it would be the inheritance of a legendary Undead creature.

…

The Secret Realm Base.

Bai Qi looked at the blueprints before him with a headache, and pinched his own eyebrows hard.

This curse mark appeared similar to the runes, but its internal structure was completely different. While the soul charm appeared simple, it contained much more information than the same type of rune.

“Next time I go back to headquarters, I’ll have to check out some books about Alchemy in the Tower of Knowledge.”

Bai Qi put away the blueprints, temporarily pushing aside the concerns about the soul charm.

“It’s been so long, I should go check on the teacher.”

As Bai Qi left the research room, he saw Alpha leading the Six Sword Servants, or rather, five Sword Servants and a Dark Armor Knight, training on a dark piece of land. Visible waves of Shadow Department Power were being gradually absorbed by them.

If there was one big accomplishment from the Twilight Tomb, besides Alpha’s six accessories getting upgraded, it would be the soil that had been soaked with Shadow Department Power.

After watching Alpha and the rest for a while, Bai Qi didn’t linger, exiting the Secret Realm Base.

With Madam and Mr. Bai conducting research at the manor, Bai Qi’s home returned to its previous state of quiet. However, when Bai Qi came out, there was already a figure standing in the courtyard.

If not Bai Heguang, who could it be?

“Did you go to study the soul charm?”

Seeing Bai Qi emerge from the Secret Realm Base, Bai Heguang immediately understood, saying, “Your talent is quite rare in the history of the Federation, being competent in various fields, but it’s better not to be too distracted.”

“Um, I understand teacher.”

Bai Qi scratched his head. Studying the charm was indeed quite an energy-consuming task. He had spent the past two days studying it but didn’t make much progress.

Well, I’ll study it again after getting the basic Alchemy books.

Seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Bai Heguang had a helpless look in his eyes but didn’t say any more.

“I’ve fixed the leaks in the first six layers of the Twilight Tomb. The Death Round Table members should not be able to enter anymore. But to be safe, don’t venture into the layers beyond the first three for now.”

Bai Qi nodded, understanding that it was hard to predict the movements of the Death Round Table. Even if Bai Heguang hadn’t warned him, he wouldn’t venture in recklessly.

Looking at the current situation, it’s better to stay at home and remain invincible for now.

“By the way, I heard the Wuhou Corporation and the three central corporations are planning to set up a Super God Evolution Research Institute?”

“Um, yes, Uncle Zhuge thinks that the scale of the Rune Evolution and Armed Evolution Teams is too small and too limiting, so he plans to expand it into a research institute.”

Bai Qi scratched his head, adding, “I originally wanted to reject it, but…”

“There’s no need to reject it.”

Bai Heguang waved his hand, saying, “There are countless corporations in the Federation, but there are only about ten that can be counted on. The Cao, Sun, and Liu corporations are among them. Collaborating with them will help your future development.”

“To become a Legendary Beast Master, it’s nearly impossible to rely solely on one person.”

Bai Qi pondered. Indeed, after Alpha upgraded to King-level, Bai Qi felt that Alpha’s speed of improvement was slowing down. The resources it would require to become a legendary creature were frightening to contemplate.

Moreover, he wasn’t just cultivating one Alpha beast.

“And, this is just a personal suggestion, you could also consider getting the Jiuli Group involved. Given your parents’ relationship with them, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi deeply, saying, “Considering the relationship between the Jiuli Group and the association, it would be very helpful for the development of the Super God Evolution Research Institute.”

Bai Qi got it. So, this was to tie the association to the research institute’s wagon.

“Okay, I’ll contact my parents later.”

Bai Heguang nodded, saying, “In the meantime, I will stay in Gusu City to watch over the Twilight Tomb situation. Since I will be continuing your training, you should move into my house to save time.”

“Um, teacher, I just bought a manor near your home a few days ago, so I will be moving there.”

Bai Heguang was silent for a long time before nodding, saying, “Well, then move there.”

Saying that, Bai Heguang rode on the Jiuyou Darkbird and slowly took off.

“I’ll go first. Remember to report to my house on time tomorrow.”

“Also, young man, don’t indulge in pleasure too much, it’s not good for your future.”

Bai Qi was dumbfounded, his eyes full of innocence.

If I say it was my pet beast who bought it, would you believe me, teacher?
