Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 504: Chapter 499: I Love to Kill in Dreams~

Seeing Bai Qi parading around like this, Bai Heguang naturally wanted to say a few words. But recalling what Zhao Futu had previously told him, his choice of words shifted.

“You reacted well, but don’t take such risks next time.”

“Understood, Master.”

Bai Qi nodded, and suddenly Nicholas, who was standing on the side, asked Bai Heguang, “Can you help me improve my combat ability?”

Upon hearing Nicholas’s words, Bai Qi was startled, but thinking about recent events, he seemed to understand something.

The reason Nicholas had left the headquarters was primarily to ensure his safety.

The first time he accidentally entered the Fire Element World, Nicholas wasn’t there.

The second time he was in danger at sea, Nicholas arrived after Bai Qi had already escaped the peril.

This time entering the Fire Element World together, Nicholas got repeatedly beaten by the Flame Demon.

From Nicholas’s perspective, this was tantamount to trampling on his pride as the Legendary Giant Dragon.

“No problem.”

Seeing the sincerity in Nicholas’s eyes, Bai Heguang nodded.

He was well aware that Nicholas’s power wasn’t weak, in fact, it could even be considered strong, but his mindset wasn’t nearly as stable as Alpha’s.

Without the mindset of a strong person, no matter how strong the power, it was nothing but an empty shell.

However, if he could change his mindset, he could then rest assured about Bai Qi’s safety in the future.

Hearing Bai Heguang’s agreement, Nicholas became animated and looked at Bai Qi, saying, “I, the dragon, will go and train now. Epsilon will take care of the jade helmet production line.”

“No problem.”

Bai Qi nodded, Worm Grass also held the Jade Imprint, it could be a good practice.

With no interference from the Elemental World, Luo Xiang’s action of locking the Element Gate was noticeably faster, and he quickly fixed the gate of the Fire Element World.

Then they all returned to the Water Element World, followed the same principle to fix it, and finally returned to Taize Lake.

Below the now quiet Taize Lake, two doors of elements that looked similar were floating in the water. They maintained a special balance through energy circulation.

“I was only planning on stabilizing one Element Gate, but unexpectedly ended up with double the results.”

Luo Xiang twisted his neck, massaging his slightly aching neck, and said, “But with this, the Thirteenth Bureau might not be able to stay put.”

“They probably won’t. After all, they already have a Fire Element Gate, having one more is meaningless. And now that both sides are connected, we just need to hold the Water Element Gate.”

Bai Heguang looked at Luo Xiang and Bai Qi and said, “You guys go back and rest, I’ll stay here.”

“Understood, Master.”

Bai Qi nodded, then turned to Nicholas and said, “Nicholas, I’m going back first, okay?”

“Hmm, I will definitely become a strong dragon capable of protecting you before I return!”

Nicholas waved his dragon claw with a vow, his eyes filled with determination.

“Alright.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi slightly nodded, then rode Delta back to the Super God Evolution Research Institute directly.

“Now that you’ve got some free time, Instructor Luo, I have quite a few questions to ask you.”

As soon as Bai Qi landed, he immediately started to ask the questions he had encountered while researching the Soul-transferring Curse Mark.

“I can’t do it anymore, I haven’t slept in days. I need to get some sleep.”

Seeing this, Luo Xiang waved his hands repeatedly, rushed out of Bai Qi’s office without hesitation.

He knew how crazy Bai Qi could get when he was in research mode. Judging by the length of those questions, leaving within two days was impossible. He had to run.

“Alright.”

Bai Qi shrugged at the response, deciding to suppress his curiosity for the time being, and headed towards the jade helmet production line.

Due to Nicholas’s departure, the production of the jade helmets was stuck at the final stage. Helmets were piled up like a small mountain next to Nicholas’s work station.

“I hope Nicholas comes back soon; otherwise, this production line is bound to collapse.”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly at the sight and then summoned Worm Grass.

“Ah, Master, what do you need from me?”

Worm Grass, being awakened from a deep sleep, looked at Bai Qi with a blank expression, asking.

“Nicholas is temporarily unavailable, so I need you to help him imprint the jade seal on the helmets and gaming pods. Any problems with that?”

Bai Qi pointed at the rapidly growing stack of helmets in front of him, briefly explaining the current situation.

“Delighted to.”

Upon seeing the situation, Worm Grass readily agreed whilst flying over to the work station to immediately fall asleep.

But then, the tentacles on Worm Grass began to rapidly extend, splitting into dozens of vines, lifting the helmets to apply the Jade Imprint, and then placing them in the completed product area.

Even though the speed of applying the Jade Imprint wasn’t as fast as Nicholas, the large number of vines made up for it, and the overall speed was not slower than Nicholas’s.

“Sleeping yet still able to act freely, is this a bodily instinct? It doesn’t seem like it.”

Curious at the situation, Bai Qi couldn’t help but admit that he hadn’t been paying as much attention to Worm Grass recently, even less than the newcomer, Snow Doll.

“All of a sudden, I feel a bit guilty~”

Bai Qi scratched his head, then picked up a Jade Helmet, and entered the Jade Dream.

“Master, what brings you here?”

Seeing Bai Qi’s arrival, the busy cordyceps who was guiding new players to explore Emerald Dreamland, immediately went up to greet him.

“Nothing much, just came to see your work.” Bai Qi shook his head and said, “I noticed that you can still act when you are asleep, what’s the secret behind?”

Realizing what Bai Qi was asking, Cordyceps answered with a smile, “I was planning to discuss this with you. This happens thanks to your idea.”

“My credit…”

Bai Qi was confused; he had no clue what he did.

“Didn’t you tell me to try to form virtual souls? I did give it a try.”

Overly excited, Cordyceps continued, “Although I don’t have a handle on virtual souls quite yet, I discovered that I can load these NPCs into my body, so they can act normally even when I’m asleep, given commands beforehand.”

“So, those tendrils I saw were moving on their own when you had given them a full set of commands?”

Cordyceps nodded: “Exactly.”

After listening to Cordyceps, Bai Qi was enlightened and concluded it in two words.

Sleepwalk.

Bai Qi was amazed by this thought and pondered something else, “Epsilon, can your body fight freely while you’re asleep?”

Even though Cordyceps was a rare symbiotic species possessing two different physical structures, it shared one thought process.

As a result, while cordyceps relied on its powerful physique to fight, it hardly ever used the skill of the dream system.

And when using dreamland system skills, cordyceps is static.

Until now, Cordyceps had not simultaneously used skills from both systems, merely utilizing the time difference of two types of abilities for combat.

If Cordyceps could use Dreamland skills while sleeping and engage in physical combat at the same time, stacking these powers would be beyond adding one plus one.

Killing in dreams could prove absolutely lethal!

“Fight freely while asleep? At present, I can’t do that. Currently, I’m only able to instruct the tendrils to perform simple operations. Something as complex as combat is somewhat difficult for me.”

Cordyceps paused then continued “However, I recently been trying to give similar commands to parasites. If successful, that might be a possibility.”

Good grief! It wasn’t enough to only sleepwalk; now he wanted to involve the parasites too.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately realized that Cordyceps had an excellent understanding of his own combat methods and had already begun considering these tactics.

“However, this could prove difficult to achieve. After all, the combat commands are numerous, and organizing them solely by myself proves too troublesome. I may need to consume more combat-type dreams.”

“Combat-type dreams?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and a sly grin appeared on his face.

‘What a coincidence.’

…

Xia’s Group branch in Gusu City.

Seeing Bai Qi visiting unannounced, Xia Ya was somewhat puzzled, but he put on a surprised expression and greeted him, “I was just thinking about inviting you for a visit through Xia Xuan, but to my surprise, you came over yourself.”

“Sorry to impose, but the details we discussed earlier have shown some progress, so I came to request a test.”

Bai Qi took a large box out of the secret area and placed it in front of Xia Ya.

“There’s already progress?”

Xia Ya was astounded by the efficiency of Bai Qi’s work.

“Well, it’s not the large-scale battlefield dream system we discussed earlier. This one can only achieve 1vs1.”

Bai Qi shrugged, saying.

“1vs1?”

Xia Ya looked displeased for a moment. No wonder they made progress so quickly, a one-on-one match wasn’t much different than actual combat.

Realizing the change in Xia Ya’s expression, Bai Qi didn’t find it strange and added, “The aim of this achievement is actually to serve the subsequent large-scale dreamland system. After all, combat is not leisure; we need to collect enough combat data to help us improve the system.”

“I see.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Ya understood. Even for games, a lot of real data is needed to produce satisfactory results, so Bai Qi’s operation was justified.

“So how can our Xia Group be of help?”

Bai Qi smiled, opened the box to reveal two helmets, two collars and an interaction device, and said, “These are samples I made. It will enable the Beast Master and pets to enter the same dream.”

“Originally, I was going to ask people from Wuhou Dojo to help test it, but considering this is a commission from Xia’s Group, it would be more appropriate to ask Xia Ya to choose People for the test in accordance to the confidentiality agreement.”

“I see.”

Xia Ya comprehended immediately and was surprised by Bai Qi’s generous act.

It seemed this was not what his father and brothers told him about Bai Qi.

However, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that Bai Qi might have other plans.

“But I want someone to try this device first. Is it okay?”

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, “Absolutely, that’s the reason I brought the samples.”

“Good.”

Xia Ya nodded and went to arrange for the testers. Meanwhile, Bai Qi contacted cordyceps quietly through contract.

“Epsilon, is everythink okay?”

“Rest assured, Master, everything is perfect!”
