Chapter 269: Chapter 265: Let’s Call It Garulu-

Gusu City.

Beast Master Association.

Bai Qi and company gradually disembarked from the aircraft. As they looked at the familiar city around them, a sense of comfort arose in their hearts.

This was the first time they had traveled so far since arriving in this world. “Alright, no need to get emotional here. Hurry back and rest for a couple of days before reporting to school. You have a lot of things on your plate,” President Qin said. He kicked Bai Qi without any formality, “Once everything is sorted out at the school, return to the association and help out immediately.

“Okay…”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly. He then took a Green Leaf Ball from his pocket and handed it to President Qin, “President, you once mentioned that one of your contract slots was damaged, right? This Green Leaf Ball is my newest product.

You can try it.”

“Green Leaf Ball? When did you come up with this?”

President Qin raised his eyebrows, unreservedly accepted the Green Leaf Ball, and said, “Then I won’t hold back.”

Bai Qi shrugged, then looked to Bai Qiucha, who was standing beside him,

“Cha, are you going home first?”

Bai Qiucha nodded, “My admission procedures were handled by the

housekeeper. I need to go home first.”

Oh, how envious. Having a housekeeper to handle affairs makes things much easier.

Bai Qi, smacking his lips, said, “Then let’s meet at the academy.”

“Okay.”

Bai Qiucha nodded, then summoned her Bone Dragon and headed straight for

the villa.

Watching Bai Qiucha leave, Bai Qi then looked at Professor Dong, “Professor

Dong, would you like me to take you home?

Professor Dong shook his head, “I’ve been on the aircraft for quite a while. I’d like to move around, so don’t trouble yourself.

“Alright.”

Bai Qi nodded. Although Professor Dong seemed frail, he was a Beast Master after all. This little journey could not pose a problem to him.

“By the way, Bai Qi, after checking in with Old Chu, remember to go to the Undead Department. They’ve got some matters that require your personal attention.”

“Undead Department?”

Bai Qi was startled but quickly nodded, “I will remember to go.

Professor Dong nodded lightly, then slowly walked off in the direction of the

Star Mechanics Academy.

“There’s nothing to do at home anyway. Let’s go to the Elf House first.” Bai Qi looked at the time and didn’t rush home, he summoned Delta who transformed into the Wind God Winged Dragon and headed straight for the Elf

House.

Last time, he said he should bring him a gift. Now, he could go give him a surprise.

Elf House.

With the promotion of Rune Evolution and Rune Tier 2 Evolution, the Undead Department in Gusu City developed exceedingly fast. As the designated destination for the Undead and Rune Evolution Special Team, the business at Elf House was booming too.

“Damn, they expanded again?”

Bai Qi looked at the noticeably bigger Elf House, his face full of surprise.

It makes sense that he could share so many Federal Coins each month. The profit from Rune Evolution was incredibly rich.

Bai Qi smacked his lips and navigated through the crowded crowd to enter the

Elf House.

The recently expanded Elf House now featured an exclusive Undead area, taking up a larger space than before. However, it didn’t appear gloomy at all, showing the amount of effort put into the decorations.

Meanwhile in the front, Zhuge Chen, the son of the chairman, was bustling about with the other shop assistants.

“This fellow really can’t slack off.”

Bai Qi shook his head helplessly. He pulled out his phone and dialed Zhuge Chen’s number. Once Zhuge Chen noticed him gave a wave, he proceeded towards Zhuge Chen’s office like he had it all figured out.

Despite working as a shop assistant most of the time, Zhuge Chen still had his own office— though he hardly used it.

“Aren’t you still in training? How come you’re suddenly back in Gusu City?” Zhuge Chen left his work to a shop assistant and ran to catch up with Bai Qi. He asked curiously.

“Still in training, but there’s no need to stay at headquarters, so I came back.” This somewhat enlightened Zhuge Chen. Seeing the four Rune Marks on the back of Bai Qi’s hand, he exclaimed, “Bai Qi, you’re already on the Four Stage.”

“Yes, the training was effective, and the progress has been decent.” Bai Qi nodded, while Zhuge Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying, “Progressing from the Second Stage to the Fourth in just over two months is decent? You’re floating.”

“It’s alright.”

Bai Qi gave a cheesy smile, “By the way, I brought you a gift. You will definitely love it.”

“What gift? Another one of your inventions?”

Zhuge Chen was quite curious upon hearing this, even though Bai Qi had mentioned the gift earlier, but recently he was so busy that he had completely put it out of his mind.

“Consider it one of my inventions, and it will be released throughout the

Federation soon.”

Bai Qi took out the Green Leaf Ball and handed it to Zhuge Chen, stating, “This is the Spirit-Control Orb, which allows a person without a Talent to form a contract with a beast. But for now, it cannot be used for mutual

improvement…”

Under Zhuge Chen’s baffled gaze, Bai Qi explained the function of the Spirit- Control Orb to him briefly. After he finished speaking, Zhuge Chen’s face was full of bitter smiles.

“You really didn’t have to go to this trouble, even though I didn’t awaken a Talent, I’m still happily coexisting with beasts, whether or not I form a contract with them no longer matters.”

“Are you sure?”

Seeing the skeptical look on Zhuge Chen’s face, Bai Qi pursed his lips, saying, “Come, try pouring your Spirit Power into it first, then you will know after trying it with a familiar beast.”

“Well, alright then,”

Zhuge Chen saw that Bai Qi was so insistent, he could not reject Bai Qi’s proposal and thus followed the latter’s guide to pour his Spirit Power into the Green Leaf Ball.

“This… this thing can store Spirit Power?”

Even though Zhuge Chen did not awaken his Talent, he would accumulate Spirit Power through meditation in his daily life. After this trial, he noticed the difference of the Green Leaf Ball.

“That’s not important, there’s an even bigger surprise coming.” Bai Qi smiled and patiently waited for Zhuge Chen to fill up the Spirit Power storage of the Green Leaf Ball. Afterwards, he went with Zhuge Chen to the breeding area of the Elf House.

Like the shops in the front, the breeding area of the Elf House had also substantially expanded, but the area specifically for dogs didn’t change.

“Have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to choose the Arctic Ice Wolf?”

Looking at the Arctic Ice Wolf affectionately nuzzling against Zhuge Chen’s feet, Bai Qi confirmed his choice once more.

“Didn’t you say that the beasts contracted with the Spirit-Control Orb need to gradually develop good feelings? This little fellow’s daily life and eating habits are basically all taken care of by me, nothing could be more suitable.” Because of the storage of Spirit Power, Zhuge Chen trusted Bai Qi’s words slightly more, which led to him choosing the Arctic Ice Wolf he was most familiar with, thereby reducing the difficulty for Bai Qi.

Otherwise, if the attempt failed, Bai Qi wouldn’t be able to save face.

“That works too. It will also be a good opportunity to communicate with Schuck

and Beta.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn’t say more, “Just knock the Green Leaf Ball on its head, don’t worry about anything else.”

“Just like this?”

Zhuge Chen lightly tapped the Arctic Ice Wolf with the Green Leaf Ball, the Rune Mark within was instantly activated, quickly branding on the wolf’s head, establishing a Spirit Channel between Zhuge Chen and the Arctic Ice Wolf.

“This… this… Did I really form a contract with the Arctic Ice Wolf?

Feeling the strange voice emerging in his mind, Zhuge Chen’s face was completely covered with surprise. But before he could be amazed for too long, a green light beam shot out from the Green Leaf Ball, causing it to promptly wrap up the Arctic Ice Wolf. The Ice Wolf was then directly swallowed into the Green Leaf Ball, and the rune on the Green Leaf Ball dimmed again, falling to the ground motionless.

“Bai Qi, where’s my Arctic Ice Wolf? Did something go wrong?”

Upon seeing the disappearance of the Arctic Ice Wolf, Zhuge Chen couldn’t help but panic.

“Don’t worry, it’s just temporarily transferred to another place. Just reactivate the Green Leaf Ball, it should be released.”

Bai Qi picked up the Green Leaf Ball and put it into Zhuge Chen’s hand, who then hurriedly applied his Spirit Power to connect with the Green Leaf Ball. The Green Leaf Ball opened again, and the Arctic Ice Wolf that had been swallowed up earlier was released once more.

“Bai Qi, did you really design this thing?”

Looking at this unbelievable scene before his eyes, Zhuge Chen couldn t communicate with the Arctic Ice Wolf anymore; instead, he looked at Bai Qi with some disbelief.

“Of course, and I’ve already reached an agreement with the Federation. The Spirit-Control Orb will soon be issued to those without a Talent, and Uncle Zhuge should have received the notice already.”

Bai Qi briefly told Zhuge Chen about his deal with the Thirteenth Bureau, then gestured towards the Green Leaf Ball in Zhuge Chen’s hand, “However, the version that the Federation will publish is only the initial version. This one in your hand is a prototype, and it is one of just two in the whole Federation, so make sure you don’t lose it.”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Zhuge Chen hastily stored the Green Leaf Ball, then sighed, “I thought it was already insane when you discovered Rune Evolution, but I never expected you to be this insane. How did you come up with something like this?”

Bai Qi cocked his head, saying, “It should be considered as inspiration from a predecessor called the Wisdom God, I guess. As for the Green Leaf Ball, it barely met the expected results, so it can’t be popularized for now.”

Other structures of the Green Leaf Ball are the same as an ordinary Spirit- Control Orb, but this Jade Imprint right now can only be used by Nicholas, so it can undoubtedly be considered a limited edition.

However, once it lands in the hands of Zhuge Chen and Old Qin, the Federation will probably know about it in no time and might go after Nicholas again. Tsk, it seems like Nicholas is once again going to be treated as a tool dragon. “Wisdom God? It seems that you’ve genuinely learned a lot at the headquarters of the Association, Bai Qi. I’ve never heard of such a predecessor.” Zhuge Chen sighed, then began to communicate with the Arctic Ice Wolf crouching down.

It was different from the body language they had used before, this time he actually understood the thoughts of the Arctic Ice Wolf. For people like them who are fond of beasts but cannot become Beast Masters in their lifetime, this is indeed good news.

“Bai Qi, thank you.”

After communicating with the Arctic Ice Wolf for a while, Zhuge Chen stood up and spoke solemnly, “Without you, I might never have been able to communicate with beasts like this in my whole life. How about…you name this little fellow?”

“Me?”

Bai Qi was slightly stunned. Looking at the cool demeanor of the Arctic Ice Wolf, which was completely different from Schuck, he thought for a moment and said, “How about part… calling it Garulu?”
