Chapter 423: Chapter 419: Stealing Half a Day of Leisure in This Mortal Life

Seeing Bai Qi’s demeanor, President Qin rolled his eyes irritably and said, “You’re still in the mood to laugh. Isn’t the Elemental World a place where you can run amok? One unlucky move, and you could cease to exist.”

“Didn’t I come out alive~”

Bai Qi scratched his head, and only after he saw Bai Heguang’s displeasure did he hold back a bit.

“Tell me about your experiences in the Elemental World.”

Bai Qi nodded and recounted his adventures in the Elemental World in detail.

“A giant of flame? That would be Flame Demon. You lucked out, managing to find an exit, or you would’ve been in grave danger.”

Bai Heguang nodded slightly after hearing this and added, “In the Fire Element World, even Jiuyou and I might not be able to defeat it. You escaping was extraordinarily lucky.”

Even my teacher couldn’t win against it?

That Flame Demon sure was fierce.

Bai Qi thought about the Flame Demon able to break through Alpha’s defenses despite the intervention of the Element Gate, and coupled with what Bai Heguang just described, Bai Qi suddenly shuddered with residual fear.

“But you said that after you went through the Element Gate, you ended up in Taize Lake, precisely at the place from last time’s anomaly, are you sure?”

Bai Heguang asked solemnly and seriously.

“Indeed, it was there, but when I went back to investigate later, I couldn’t find the Element Gate.”

Bai Qi sighed with regret. If it turned out that the Element Gate to the Water Element World was hidden in Taize Lake, then the anomalies around the lake could be explained. If they could harness this, it would be a significant discovery.

“Unless you know the specific method, it’s tough to discover the Element Gate, but judging from the changes in recent days, it should appear soon.”

Bai Heguang, understanding the nuances, advised, “You’ve just advanced to the Sixth Stage, so don’t wander around and stay in Gusu City to practice.”

“Sure thing, teacher.”

Bai Qi nodded. Even if Bai Heguang didn’t say it, he wouldn’t wander around for a while. Apart from upgrading the levels of his six pets, he could finally settle down and explore Alchemy.

“Alright, since you’re okay, I won’t keep you any longer. Get some rest.”

Bai Heguang got up to leave after making sure Bai Qi was alright and giving him a few words of advice.

“Aren’t you going to rest for a couple of days, teacher?”

Seeing that Bai Heguang was about to leave, Bai Qi couldn’t help but ask.

“I have some matters to attend to and won’t have a chance to rest just yet.”

Bai Heguang shook his head. He gave Bai Qi a rare smile and warned, “Unless something unexpected happens, you’ll soon have no time to rest.”

After saying that, Bai Heguang nodded to President Qin before striding away.

“I also won’t have time to rest? What’s that supposed to mean?”

Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion, not understanding the implication behind Bai Heguang’s words. Meanwhile, President Qin couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re not involved in anything, Director Bai.”

“Director Bai? The Super God Evolution Research Institute?”

Bai Qi was taken aback but quickly caught on.

Apparently, his old man had mentioned the Research Institute. Could it be that the institute has already been built?

“Absolutely, the efficiency with five major financial groups working together is naturally high.”

President Qin chuckled and added, “By the way, because of the involvement of the Jiuli Group, the Super God Evolution Research Institute now has another research branch specializing in biological evolution. And the person in charge of that is someone you know very well.”

“Someone I know, don’t tell me…”

Bai Qi’s eye twitched as he unconsciously glanced in the direction of his home’s research lab.

“Yes, it’s your mom and dad.”

President Qin stroked his beard, noting, “The Jiuli Group has moved your parents over to the Super God Evolution Research Institute while it was being set up, considering you and your parents rarely get together. How does that feel? Are you happy?”

“I guess so.”

Bai Qi managed a weak smile. Reuniting with his parents was certainly something to be happy about, but in their family, the location didn’t really make much difference.

He was quite certain that between research and him, his parents would unequivocally choose research.

“Alright, I have matters to handle too so I won’t bother you further. Take care of yourself.”

President Qin stood up, glaring at Bai Qi, “You’ve caused a backlog of work for me to handle over the past few days. Make sure to come over when you’re free and help me clear out the tasks!”

“Okay!”

When Bai Qi heard him, an ingratiating smile broke out on his face as he said, “Mr. President, do you want me to drive you home?”

“No thanks, I’m afraid you’ll drive me out.”

President Qin shook his head, “Your dad should be waiting for you. Head over and check out the institute soon, and show your friends that you’re alright.”

“I understand.”

Bia Qi nodded, escorted President Qin out and then went to seek Bai Yan in his research lab.

At that moment, only Bai Yan was in the lab, and Luo Zhu was nowhere to be found.

If I’m not wrong, Luo Zhu should probably be at the institute now.

“Did your teacher and President Qin leave?”

Bai Yan put down his work and asked.

“Hmm.”

Bai Qi nodded his head and said, “Dad, have you been transferred to the Super God Evolution Research Institute?”

On hearing this, Bai Yan immediately broke into a smile. “Exactly, your old man and old lady’s salary will depend on you from now on.”

“Dad, there’s something seriously wrong with your thinking, you’re even gambling with your own son.”

Bai Qi unconsciously grabbed his phone tighter at those words, causing Bai Yan to burst into laughter.

“Don’t worry, with the support of the five major financial groups, how can you not afford the salaries?”

Bai Yan patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, a proud smile on his face. “Who would have thought my son, who’s only a sophomore, has achieved much more than the two of us, it’s a bit embarrassing.”

“Dad, are you running a fever? Since when did you become so sentimental?”

Bai Qi gawked at Bai Yan, unable to hold back his snarky comments.

Bang!

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, a vein popped on Bai Yan’s forehead, and he landed a punch squarely on Bai Qi’s head.

“Snot-nose brat, itching for a beating, aren’t you? Your mother isn’t here today, let’s see how I’ll deal with you!”

“Damn, mom, I need some help!”

…

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

Luo Zhu looked puzzled at Bai Yan’s swollen hands and then at Bai Qi with an embarrassed face, she couldn’t help asking.

“What’s going on with you two? Did you have a fight?”

Bai Qi shrugged, which a face full of innocence. “I wouldn’t dare, my old man beat me up, and the result was …”

He was already a Six Stage Beast Master, and due to the Evolution Egg, his physical strength was much greater than that of average Six Stage Beast Master. In contrast, Bai Yan was just an ordinary person involved in research.

This resulted in Bai Qi being the one who was beaten, but Bai Yan was the one who ended up injured.

“Smelly brat, just you wait.”

Bai Yan shot Bai Qi a harsh look, adamantly refusing to mention the incident.

“Beat my son? Bai Yan, you’re turning the world upside down. How dare you hit my precious boy?”

Hearing this, Luo Zhu frowned slightly and then proceeded to pinch Bai Yan’s side hard before looking at Bai Qi with a worried expression.

“My precious son, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Weren’t you supposed to submit your training results at the association’s headquarters? How did you end up all injured?”

“Mom, I’m fine.”

Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, still keeping his accidental entry into the Elemental World a secret. Looking at the extensive building complex around him, he couldn’t help but admire it.

It was indeed true that if the money was right, everything else fell into place.

Such an enormous building complex had been built in such a short time, and from the looks of it, it seemed like it had already started operating normally.

“It’s perfect timing that you’re here; mom will take you for a tour and show you your office.”

Luo Zhu pulled Bai Qi over, pointing out the biggest building in front. “This large office, even the chairman of the Jiuli Group isn’t so extravagant.”

“An office? Isn’t this a bit too over the top? I’m still just a student.”

Bai Qi scratched his head. Such high-profile situations were rather troublesome. He didn’t want to end up like President Qin, sitting in the office dealing with paperwork all day.

“You still remember that you’re a student. If you keep running around like this, wait till I teach you a lesson.”

Luo Zhu rolled her eyes in annoyance, then began taking Bai Qi on a tour of the Institute.

This one is the main building, also the place where all departments collect data and results. The members of the Rune, Weapons, and Biological Evolution research groups are temporarily situated here.

As for Bai Qi’s office, it was located at the very top floor.

Luo Zhu led Bai Qi through the office area, pointing out the clearly delineated equipment in the research area, “This entire floor belongs to you, excluding the front office, everything behind is your research zone. All kinds of facilities have been set up for you. You can conduct all your future research here.”

Bai Qi repeatedly nodded; as the base in the secret territory was still under construction and he had nowhere else to conduct his research, this updated research area helped solve his urgent problem.

“Good, I have a project running now. You can go around by yourself for a while, there’s nothing much for you to do yet.”

Luo Zhu checked the time then rushed off hurriedly, Bai Yan followed her closely.

As the head of the Biologic Evolution group, they were busier than ever. It was already a rare occasion for them to accompany Bai Qi for this long.

After seeing them off, Bai Qi finally had some time to calmly explore his new research area.

Just as Luo Zhu had said before, the research area was fully equipped. Even a small production line for mechanical weaponry was included.

“I bought Schuck’s mansion too early …”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, suddenly feeling a bit regretful about his previous expenditure.

With such comprehensive equipment here, Bai Qi felt that he probably wouldn’t be going home for a while, and his mansion would likely end up just like his former villa.

“Well, let’s consider it as an investment.”

Bai Qi took a deep breath, pulled out his phone to update Zhuge Chen, Bai Qiucha, and others about his situation. Then, he delved right into the lab.

After copying so much information from the Tower of Knowledge, he finally had some time to really research everything.
