Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely - Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Chapter 273: The Walking Dead

Chapter 277: Chapter 273: The Walking Dead

Bai Qi paused his lecture and said, “Ahem, Delta, there might be a problem with the order in which you’ re studying. How about we start from the beginning?” Blurp, blurp?

(Start from the beginning? But Delta has finished everything, hasn’t he?)

Bai Qi: “…”

Could it be that more evolution actually improves biology learning? It was just overnight, wasn’t it?

“Are you sure you’ve completed all the basics of Biology?”

Delta tilted his head in thought for a long time and then shook it.

Blurp, blurp.

(It seems Delta has only studied the basics of genetics; he hasn’t studied the rest yet. Delta will go right now to study.)

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi understood. He fiddled with his smart brain for a while and indeed found that his father had divided the study materials into more than ten major categories, with genetics being one of them.

Even so, the basic disciplines of genetics consisted of seven or eight subjects. How could Delta manage to finish studying them all in one night?

Should he praise his father for his thorough organization or say that Delta is exceptionally gifted?

“Forget it, you continue studying at your pace for now. I’m going to check something on the side.”

Bai Qi made another copy of the material, found an empty office, and started studying.

Because of the existence of special life forms like pets, the biology here was obviously much more complicated than the biology of Bai Qi’s previous life, and there were clearly many more classifications.

However, after quickly flipping through for a while, Bai Qi still found a common point.

Survival of the fittest.

Regardless of the era, living organisms will slowly evolve into forms suitable for the current environmental conditions, even those legendary creatures with lifespans of thousands of years cannot avoid it.

And what they’re competing for is actually genes.

“So, in simple terms, the process of biological evolution is actually constantly searching for more powerful gene sequence combinations?”

Bai Qi stroked his chin, thinking. If this explanation was also applicable to pets, was his Evolution Egg actually enhancing gene sequences and forcefully inserting new genes?

If that really was the case, then the magical operation of the Evolution Egg was not impossible to replicate.

But envisioning such a thing took a lot of time, so he put it aside for the time being.

Bai Qi packed up the content of genetics and began to look at cell biology again.

Even though he hadn’t started detailed research, the issue of Schuckand Beta’s mechanical flesh fusion definitely had something to do with cell biology. That’s why Bai Qi planned to study cell biology first.

“A new beginning, huh~”

Ding Dong! Ding Dong!…

A series of doorbell rings interrupted Bai Qi’s thoughts. Bai Qi then halted the teaching projection and headed to the door.

“I shouldn’t have classes on both sides today. Who would come to see me at this time?”

After completing his first lesson in life two weeks ago, Bai Qi always maintained a regimented routine – teaching in the Undead Department, attending lectures in the Technical Weaponry Major Department, and bustling like crazy with the four pets in the Secret Realm Base.

Although it was somewhat monotonous, it was extraordinarily fulfilling.

Bai Qi opened the front door and was a bit surprised to see who was knocking.

“Brother Gao, what brings you here?”

Gao Cheng smiled slightly, “Why, can’t I visit?”

“Of course not.”

Bai Qi shook his head and led Gao Cheng into the house, “So, Brother Gao, have you also joined the association now?”

Even though Bai Qi didn’t usually wear it, he could still recognize the association member’s badge.

Gao Cheng nodded, “Yes, I don’t really have any talent for cultural subjects, so I decided to become a full-fledged Beast Master.”

“That’s also good. You have rich experience in field practice Brother Gao. It’s pretty good to be a professional Beast Master.”

“Not at all, the pressure isn’t any less for a professional Beast Master now.”

Gao Cheng showed a bitter smile, “I think you have heard, recently, ferocious beasts in the wild have been excessively active, causing a lot of trouble for the association. Professional Beast Masters are almost all busy.”

Ferocious beasts are active in the wild?

It seems the teacher mentioned it, seemed like he was even asked to go to Old Qin’s place to help out more often. He was immersed in his studies so much that he completely forgot about it.

Remembering this, Bai Qi looked suspiciously at Gao Cheng, “Brother Gao, you didn’t come here because President Qin… President Qin sent you, did you?”

Gao Cheng nodded, “Yes, I just completed a mission and ran into the president. The president asked me to come and find you.”

“The association is indeed short of manpower recently. Bai Qi, if you are free, try to take up a few more tasks. The rewards are still good.”

Reward? It seems like a distant thing.

Bai Qi was somewhat disheartened. Thinking about the balance in his Federation Card, he felt even less motivated.

Making money? Where can it be as comfortable as staying home and lying down?

Upon seeing Bai Qi in this state, Gao Cheng shook his head and said, “Just as the President mentioned, it really seems that you’re not in need of money anymore.”

“The President said that your grades for the third phase are all in his hands, so…”

Before Gao Cheng could finish, Bai Qi suddenly jumped up and spoke solemnly, “The duty of a Beast Master is to protect the Federation from the attacks of ferocious beasts. Reward or such is not important. Let’s go.”

He was still thinking about exchanging a mythical resource with the points from the third phase. If it went wrong here, the remaining points would be wasted.

Gao Cheng couldn’t help but laugh at this and hurriedly followed him.

Now that the task assigned by the President was completed, everything else didn’t matter.

The Beast Master Association.

Gao Cheng climbed down from the back of the Wind God Winged Dragon and, looking at Delta, who had suddenly transformed back into an Ancestral Beast, his face was full of surprise.

“Bai Qi, is this an Ancestral Beast?”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Yes, it’s just that Delta is a little special.”

Just a little special? Really?

Gao Cheng suddenly felt the gap between him and Bai Qi growing. He remembered how Lu Yuan had looked when he met him some days ago and suddenly understood. Lu Yuan must have felt the impact of Bai Qi.

The two men entered the association together and President Qin, who seemed to have known that Bai Qi would come, was already waiting in the mission hall. “Oh, our Professor Bai is finally willing to go out?”

As soon as President Qin saw Bai Qi, he immediately became irritated, “I thought someone was planning to join the academy like that.”

Good lord, was Old Qin revealing his vindictive nature?

It made sense though. There’s no way he would be forgiving, especially since he had been arguing with Xiao Chuanqi for a lifetime.

Despite the complaints, Bai Qi managed a smile and said, “President, you misunderstood. I was worried about losing face for the association, so I have been reading diligently, preparing lecture materials every day.”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, President Qin looked somewhat pleased.

Although he didn’t attend the classes, from what he knew, Bai Qi’s teaching style was highly praised, and almost every class was packed. It seemed like he really was putting in effort.

“Forget about all that. I brought you here because I wanted you to inspect a place.”

President Qin handed a mission board to Bai Qi and said, “Some strange events have been happening in a valley at our border with Langya City. Not only Beast Masters who accidentally venture near there, but also ferocious beasts that enter have not returned. We initially speculated that some undead creatures might be operating there, so I want you to take a look.”

“Since this is just an inspection, it’s best if you go alone. You don’t need to venture in too far, just make sure to retreat in time if you encounter any danger.”

The disappearance of humans and beasts sounded very dangerous.

Bai Qi licked his lips and said, “President, if I complete such a dangerous task, the points…”

President Qin rolled his eyes upon hearing his words and said, “Don’t worry, you will be rewarded accordingly.”

“Okay, then I will inform the academy and set off.”

Bai Qi quickly signed his name on the mission board, took out his phone and sent several messages. Then he rode on the Wind God Winged Dragon and headed straight for the destination.

His efficiency made even the self-proclaimed efficient Gao Cheng start doubting his life.

“Gao Cheng, you’ve been on missions quite frequently lately. Take a good rest for a few days. You cannot become a professional Beast Master just by being diligent.”

President Qin patted Gao Cheng’s shoulder and said, “When you have time, you can chat with Bai Qi. It will be helpful for your future development.”

“I understand, thank you, Mr. President.”

Gao Cheng nodded, thinking of the recent rumors about Bai Qi, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to learn, but that he simply could not.

Outside of Gusu City.

Once they were out of the monitoring range of the snare, Delta fully increased its speed. The large wings of the Wind God Winged Dragon not only provided it with strong wind control abilities, but also extremely high-speed flight.

Of course, most importantly, Delta had the handy skill of Void Echo.

If anyone had been present, they would have seen that the Wind God Winged Dragon, transformed by Delta, disappeared for a while every time it flew a certain distance. When it reappeared, it was already far away.

Perhaps because of its recent intense study, Delta had become more proficient in controlling its own abilities as well as its three forms, even being able to use the characteristics of Void Echo to travel short distances across space.

Bai Qi believed that once Delta’s skill proficiency and Double Level improved, long-distance teleportation was inevitable.

“But the place the president mentioned is really far away. We’ve been flying for so long and we’re not even there yet.”

Bai Qi looked at the location indicated on the mission board and leaned out to look around.

“Hm? Delta, stop for a moment.”

Bai Qi asked Delta to stop, took out a telescope to look down, and frowned.

On the plain below him, one beast after another was wandering around like zombies. He could vaguely see a few human figures. These must be the missing Beast Masters that President Qin had mentioned.

“It seems we have arrived. Judging by the situation, have all these been transformed into zombies?”

Bai Qi put away the mission board and instructed Delta to descend slowly.

If there were creatures that could transform others into zombies, they should be at least high-grade lords, or possibly even king-level creatures. It would be inappropriate to continue moving forward so ostentatiously.
