Chapter 259: Chapter 255: Bootlicker Number Two
Tower of Decision.
Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu, who was grinning at him, with a helpless expression on his face.
Originally, he was hanging out in the gathering hall, chatting with a few people, when suddenly, he found himself teleported to the Tower of Decision.
Without a doubt, in the whole Six Tower, the only one who could do this was Zhao Futu.
“Chairman, next time if there’s anything, could you please give me a heads up? These sudden changes could scare someone to death,” Bai Qi couldn’t help but complain to Zhao Futu, who just laughed and said, “Don’t you want the first place prize?”
“Absolutely, absolutely want it!”
Bai Qi immediately put on a flattering smile and nodded repeatedly, then asked curiously, “The first place prize? Isn’t there still a theoretical exam?” “The main skills a Beast Master needs to excel in are in practical combat, the first round of the examination already gave us a general idea. The theoretical exam only provides another route for development for some.”
“After all, not everyone is willing to venture into the wild.”
Bai Qi nodded. While most Beast Masters dreamt of exploring the unknown wilderness and witnessing more rarely-seen beasts, others only saw it as a means to enhance their competitiveness in various fields.
Just like Lu Qing and Yi Xiaowei …
Unsurprisingly, they might not step into the wilderness for the rest of their lives. Even if they did, it would only be in association-organized activities.
“So, the top three ranks have already been announced?”
Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu with curiosity, and Zhao Futu nodded, handing Bai Qi the list of names.
The list wasn’t for anything trivial; it was the ranking of the top ten participants in the current competition.
And the first place was Bai Qi.
Two Mythical Level resources, soon to be obtained!
Bai Qi punched the air, already somewhat impatient, yet he still patiently kept reading the list.
“Second place, Bai Qiucha; third place, Li Xusheng; fourth place, Dean Berg;
Fifth place, Ellis Bogger; Sixth place, Xiao Yuan…”
The top three names were somewhat within Bai Qi’s expectations, but the subsequent ranks somewhat surprised him.
“The performance of our association is rather… disappointing.”
Bai Qi’s expression gradually became solemn. According to his understanding of both sides, apart from Bai Qiucha and Li Xusheng, the abilities of the other members were almost similar. But the trio from the Berg family, who suddenly made their appearance, clearly overstepped the line.
Bai Qi was sure that if he hadn’t sent Lilith away earlier, she would have definitely made it to the top ten.
The advantage of a Mythical Species was indeed significant.
“It’s normal. For a family like the Berg family that has hundreds of years of legacy, they naturally have some advantages. Plus, the beasts raised by Xiao Yuan and the others might not be inferior to the Mythical Species,” said Zhao Futu, who didn’t seem worried in the slightest, “But in the future, you would do well to be more careful. With the two powers you demonstrated earlier, the Berg family would have probably tried several attempts to kill you a few hundred years ago.”
Bai Qi timidly pulled down his collar. He didn’t know about this world, but in his previous life, both the Power of Death and the Evil Power would have labeled him as a heretic and sentenced him to burning at the stake.
“Chairman, do you know about the demon class?” Upon hearing Zhao Futu mention this, Bai Qi immediately asked.
“Of course, I’ve personally discovered a secret realm of the demon class. Though I didn’t encounter any living demonic creatures, I was able to get a glimpse of its mysteries.”
Zhao Futu nodded, and said solemnly, “Even though the demon class is strong, you shouldn’t obsess over it too much. To my knowledge, the early death of the Law Emperor is connected to the demon class.”
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly. He was well aware of the danger related to the Evil Energy Flame which could burn life force. Gamma too had almost failed to withstand the damage from it the last time.
But now that Gamma had a certain ability of the demon class, if they faced a similar situation in the future, they probably wouldn’t be in such a difficult position.
Perhaps sensing Bai Qi’s thoughts, Zhao Futu revealed a strange smile and said, “Once this big competition is over, you’ll have to temporarily leave the headquarters and go to different departments to learn. So, it’s best for you to arrange everything here sooner rather than later.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. Besides the materials that were yet to be exchanged, the only thing that needed his attention was Nicholas the cowardly dragon.
But these days, Nicholas seemed to be having a good time with Old Lady Fan, so
Bai Qi probably wouldn’t need to interfere much.
“Alright, you’ve fought for the whole day, you must be tired. Take a good rest. After the theoretical exam is over tomorrow, you can get the resources you want.”
Zhao Futu smiled and said, “Appreciate your life now. Back in our day, it was not so easy to get a Mythical Level resource. The Federation will be relying on your generation for protection in the future.”
“I understand.”
Bai Qi’s face turned serious. The tranquil life of the Federation these past two decades had been fought for by the older generations of Beast Masters like Zhao Futu. Although it seemed a little dramatic to say so, if the Ferocious Beast Tribe attacked the Federation again, he would undoubtedly have to step up.
After all, why would he send back the Ferocious Beast resources that were delivered to his doorstep?
By the time Bai Qi left the Tower of Decision, it was already pitch black outside and his stomach had begun to rumble with hunger.
“Fill my stomach first, then take a good sleep.”
The next day.
The theoretical exam proceeded as scheduled, but the subjects being tested were quite diverse. In addition to their usual study of pet beast cultivation, dissection of ferocious beasts, and runes, there were also questions about tactics, management, and even interpersonal relations.
In simple terms, this theoretical exam was a mishmash.
“I’m done for, none of the topics I prepared for came up. I’m doomed this time.”
Zhou Yan walked out of the exam room with a gloomy face and started complaining as soon as he saw Xiao Yuan and the others, “Who the hell set the questions this time, they were all over the place.”
“Well, as far as I know, it was set by the six Tower Masters and the examiners together. Instructor Leng was also involved.”
Xiao Yuan chuckled, causing Zhou Yan’s expression to change, “I knew it, the test had such broad coverage this time, so the teachers were also involved.” Seeing Zhou Yan’s expression, the others couldn’t help but laugh. The theoretical exam this time was indeed difficult, covering a range of complex areas, but they all saw the purpose of the association and the Thirteenth Bureau.
In simple terms, this theoretical exam was a survey of future development goals. The association and the Thirteenth Bureau would decide your future based on the results of this theoretical exam, so their intentions were very clear when they were answering the questions.
“By the way, Bai Qi, how did your exam go?”
Xiao Yuan turned to Bai Qi, who was the last to leave the examination hall, and asked.
“Not bad I guess, the test was pretty basic. I should be able to ace the objective questions, but I’m not sure about the subjective ones.”
Bai Qi shrugged, looking resigned, which caused Zhou Yan’s expression to become even more mournful after hearing his words.
“I can’t beat you in a fight, and I can’t outdo you in an exam, why do I have to be grouped with a freak like you…”
Everyone empathically agreed. Before they met Bai Qi, they were still able to accept others calling them prodigies, but since they met Bai Qi, they had turned against this term.
This was no prodigy but a beast!
“The overall grades will probably be released by noon. Since we don’t have any tasks, why don’t we all go out to eat?”
Xiao Yuan looked around and said, “We’ve been training together for quite a while, but we don’t seem to have had a proper gathering. Let me treat everyone today.”
“We can go eat, but you don’t need to be the one to treat.”
Zhou Yan walked over to Bai Qi’s side and slapped his shoulder, “Disregarding a three-core drive candidate like this is disrespectful, isn’t it?”
“Wouldn’t you say so, Bai Qi?”
Seeing that Zhou Yan was clearly prepared to target the wealthy ones, Bai Qi rolled his eyes, “It’s just a treat, it’s the right thing to do. After all, thanks to you senior, I’ve received quite a few points. I do understand the principle of courtesy.”
With that, Bai Qi instantly hit Zhou Yan’s sore spot, defusing the situation, never to speak again.
“Um, Bai Qi, are you going out to eat? Can I join you?”
At this time, a slightly playful voice came from the side. Bai Qi looked up to see that it was Tang Miao, and behind her were Wang Huai and the rest of the special attack team.
“Tang Miao, don’t spout nonsense.”
Wang Huai glared at Tang Miao, then apologized to Bai Qi, “Bai Qi, you don’t have to bother about her, just do your own thing.”
Bai Qi chuckled, “So, are you guys planning to head back?”
Wang Huai shook his head, “Not yet. Both our leaders seem to have some matters to discuss, and they asked us to stay in Songlin City to take a look around. We were planning to rest for a while before strolling around the nearby area.”
“Perfect, let’s all go out to eat together. It will be more lively with more people.”
“Yay!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao was overjoyed and her cute and charming eyes stunned many association apprentices just coming out of the exam room.
There were too few female Beast Masters in the training camp, and the few that were there each had their own unique characteristics. Seeing the vibrant and youthful Tang Miao, these boys, who had been cooped up in the headquarters for several months, felt their hearts flutter.
“Bai Qi, do you… know her?”
Bai Yuxiao, with a blushed face, quietly stepped closer to Bai Qi and asked in a low voice.
“Do you mean Tang Miao? I met her on a prior mission, why do you ask?” Bai Qi looked at Bai Yuxiao somewhat puzzled, not sure what he meant.
“Do you know if she has a boyfriend?”
Bai Qi: “…”
What’s with young people nowadays, always thinking about love and relationships? Don’t they know that women will only drag down their progress in Beast Control?
Absurd!
“I’m not sure, but I suggest you ask her teammate.”
Bai Qi nodded to Li Xusheng, who was standing nearby, and Li Xusheng immediately felt it and sharply turned to glare at Bai Qi, whilst a fierce aura shot directly at them.
“Ahem… forget it, I’ll ask next time.”
Seeing Li Xusheng’s reaction, Bai Yuxiao immediately gave up on his plan to inquire further. However, he couldn’t take his eyes off Tang Miao, which left Bai Qi and Xiao Yuan exchanging glances.
The second bootlicker is born.
