Chapter 274: Chapter 270: Bringing in Personal Items

Bai Qi arrived at his lab, breaking into a slight smile at the sight of various equipment crammed inside.

His wishes were granted before he even asked. Now he could study the biomechanical fusion of his husky and the evolutionary ability of Delta.

Upon entering the lab, Bai Qi indeed found another black box. He opened it, revealing another holographic projection. But instead of Luo Zhu, it was Bai Yan this time.

“Apart from some large-scale equipment, your dad has pretty much prepared everything you need for biological research. Just remember not to use them randomly,” warned Bai Yan with a serious expression.

“Inside this blackbox, I’ve stored a complete set of biological knowledge which your dad also helped categorize. Please follow the order and learn. It should be helpful to you,” he continued.

“Dad always gets things done so reliably.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi was touched. Having his dad, a professional in the field, handle the categorization saved him from studying aimlessly. It certainly did make things easier.

“The Revival of Ancient Species project has now entered a critical phase. Once your mom and dad have settled things, we will come back and spend more time with you.”

As the holographic projection abruptly ended, Bai Qi immediately summoned Husky. He handed the black box to Schuck and said, “Schuck, have this biological knowledge recorded into my personal database. These pieces of equipment should be stored in the base, in a separate area. It’s also time to start addressing the biomechanical flesh fusion technology and the causes for the evolution of the ancestral beasts.”

“Understood.”

Schuck nodded, swallowing the black box and immediately extracting its data, while Beta skillfully opened a portal to the secret realm, admitting the equipment into the base one by one.

“I’ve got a little free time. Let’s catch some sleep.”

Setting up his equipment would take a while, and for now, he had nothing else to do. He could then take this rare opportunity to relax.

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…

Just then, Bai Qi’s cell phone started to vibrate.

“A text message? Is it… from the teacher?”

Bai Qi opened the message with some confusion. After seeing its content, he involuntarily twitched at the corner of his eyes.

“Come to the Undead Department for class tomorrow. Be ready.”

This message seemed to suggest that he run away…

Bai Qi covered his face and sighed. For the first time, he felt that accepting Bai Heguang as his teacher was a mistake. The benefits were still uncertain, but the tasks were obviously underway.

“Schuck, prepare a set of courseware for me. The more sophisticated, the better. Best if I won’t have to be involved!”

The next day.

The massive auditorium of the Undead Department.

All the freshmen arrived early at the auditorium, choosing front row seats with anticipation etched on their faces.

The creator of rune evolution, the direct disciple of the Legendary Celestial Brilliance, the top scorer in Gusu and Lingxi city’s joint examination, the youngest lecturer in the Undead Department…

These titles filled them with curiosity about Bai Qi, their seniors who they had only seen once during the opening ceremony.

Of course, some held grudges.

“Having a peer serve as a lecturer, isn’t Bai Chuanqi overpraising him?” Aman dressed in luxurious clothes mused in annoyance while gazing at the beautifully decorated auditorium.

“Li Xin, are you envious? If Bai Chuanqi doesn’t favor his own disciple, should he favor you?” Hearing Li Xin’s words, another man couldn’t help but snicker, “If you’re not convinced, challenge Bai Qi when he arrives. However, remember, he topped the joint city examination.”

Li Xin tweaked the corners of his mouth, “Well, it’s just the joint examination of Gusu City and Lingxi City. I’m the top scorer of Jinlin City. The weight of my achievements isn’t something you guys from small cities can compare with.”

Li Xin’s words immediately attracted angry glances from many people around. But considering his strength, they had to grit their teeth and endure.

Seeing this, Deng E shrugged, too lazy to argue with Li Xin anymore. He turned towards Lu Yuan, who was silent and detached from their argument, “Lu Yuan, you participated in the same career examination as Bai Qi, right? Tell us, what’s his actual strength like?”

Lu Yuan’s face froze, “You can try challenging him yourself to find out.”

The strength of Bai Qi? Would they believe him if he told them that his Lord­level Dark Flame Tiger King couldn’t even handle six senior elites?

He’d believe that, but the others certainly won’t.

The Wu Hou Dojo students, who had watched the match that day, seemed to share his sentiments. But this time, they silently chose not to share the match results. Instead, they decided to privately digest it.

How could they share the beast that defeated a Lord-level beast beyond its class?

“Huh, there are so many people?”

As the students waited with their own thoughts, Bai Qi had arrived backstage.

Looking at the bustling crowd below, Bai Qi was mildly surprised.

“Schuck, did you prepare reliable courseware?”

I initially thought I was only teaching a class, but everyone turned up. I wasn’t sure if Schuck’s courseware was up to par.

“Don’t worry, it will definitely give these guys an eye-opener.”

Hearing Schuck’s reassurance, Bai Qi finally heaved a sigh of relief. He stored the courseware in the backstage smart brain. Once the receipt was confirmed, he tidied up his outfit before walking towards the front stage.

The moment Bai Qi appeared, the auditorium fell silent, all the gazes focused on him.

There was scrutiny, curiosity, contempt, yet most of the looks were admiring.

Most of them were students from Gusu City and naturally admired Bai Qi, their senior who had triumphed over the elites from Lingxi City. As for whether the research was actually Bai Qi’s own, it was no longer important.

“Hey, hey, hey. Can you hear me?”

Being locked on by so many gazes, Bai Qi let out a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then began to speak.

“It’s my first time teaching others, but I guess you don’t want to hear me ramble, so let’s get straight to the point.”

In a concise manner, Bai Qi went straight to the point and signaled the backstage to start playing the courseware.

For today’s lecture, Schuck stayed up all night, not until Bai Qi left in the morning that he handed over the finished product. Bai Qi hadn’t even glanced through the content, but he assumed it wouldn’t be too bad.

“What is the Undead?!”

The beginning of the courseware was a loud question that left the students stunned, then they began to ponder.

Is Bai Qi testing us with such an open-ended question?

Thinking about this, everyone began to furiously rummage through their knowledge, organizing and summarizing it, ready to face Bai Qi’s upcoming questions.

Seeing this scenario, Bai Qi satisfiedly nodded his head.

The smart brain even matched the sound, making the lazy Bai Qi very satisfied.

Soon, before the students could suffice an answer, the stage projected holographic images of several creatures.

Next, these creatures began to age, die, decay, until only a bleached skeleton remained.

Meanwhile, wavy shadows began to gradually erode the bone. The bone was either ignited with the Fire of Soul or from the bone wafted out wisps of soul, roaming in the wilderness.

“The so-called Undead are entirely new creatures transformed from the bodies of creatures eroded by the power of shadow. They’re dead yet existing in this world in a different form of life.”

Once these words left his mouth, there was a murmur from the crowd before it erupted into a thunderous applause.

Although the Undead Department had gained popularity due to Bai Heguang, there were still many voices of rejection within the Federation.

Undead Catastrophe, desecration of the deceased, impure creatures, the greatest enemy of the living…

All these rumors intended to pitch the Undead Department against humans, actually against all flesh and blood beings.

But Bai Qi’s opening words completely refuted the definition that the Undead were the revived dead. Instead, he placed it in the position of a completely new life.

If this idea could be generalized, the Federation would no longer hold different views towards the Undead Department, right?

Looking at the fervor below, Bai Qi completely let go of his concerns and began to lazily scroll through his tablet in a secluded corner.

A class was only forty minutes long. By the time they finished watching the courseware, the time would be nearly up. He could just wrap things up then.

Seemingly predicting the audience’s reaction, the courseware created by Schuck paused for a bit. Once the audience quieted down, it continued the explanation.

“Compared to the integrated spirit and flesh of flesh creatures, the structure of the Undead Department’s two branches, skeleton, and soul, are much simpler and purer.”

“For instance, the Skeletal Type, aside from the Fire of Soul that serves as the control core, the entire body of bones is merely used as the carrier to deliver the soul signal. The Soul Race, as a pure spiritual entity, is even more so.” “Therefore, to maximize the capabilities of the Undead Department, one must scrutinize them scientifically.”

“Scientific bone structure, rational spirit power distribution, one can even merge them with mechanical creations to compensate for the weakness of the Undead Department…”

The courseware stopped abruptly in the middle, not because of someone else, but Bai Qi who was originally enjoying his lazy time.

“Ahem, we’ve gone slightly off-topic. Pretend you didn’t hear anything.”

As expected, even as part of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Schuck couldn’t escape the influence of his Husky consciousness. To openly include the Mechanical Engineering private goods in the Undead course, was he trying to ruin him?

Suddenly, he felt it was a good thing that the teachers didn’t come.

In a hidden room in the auditorium.

Watching Bai Qi, who looked embarrassed as he cut off the courseware, Duanmeng said speechlessly, “This kid dared to talk about the Mechanical Engineering Department during such a major lecture?”

“It’s normal. Bai Qi is originally from the Mechanical Engineering Department after all. Most of his achievements are still based on mechanical engineering. It’s normal to incorporate some knowledge of the Mechanical Engineering Department.”

Bai Heguang casually commented, but his eyes no longer held the impatience he had when he saw Bai Qi randomly modifying Alpha.

Although subconsciously he disliked these mischievous people because of someone’s influence, he had to admit that either Rune Evolution or Spirit- Control Orb had something to do with Bai Qi’s initial mechanical thinking.

At least, the development of the Undead Department was soon catching up to the efforts of his many years.
