Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 588: Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Three: Suddenly Feeling So Guilty…

Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu in surprise, double-checking, “President, you’re not teasing me, are you?”

“Teasing you? Do I look like I’m joking?”

Zhao Futu looked at Bai Qi seriously and said, “I originally planned to do this when you advanced to the Six Stage, but considering you need time to stabilize your power, I did not do it then.”

“This…”

Bai Qi looked at Zhao Futu, rolled his eyes, and pretended to sigh helplessly, “Although it’s a bit surprising, if the president insists on handing over his position to me, I will reluctantly accept it. You just focus on enjoying your retirement.”

Thump!

Zhao Futu punched Bai Qi hard, saying, “Snot-nosed brat, if you don’t want to accept, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush and cursing me?”

Bai Qi grinned and said, “Since you know it, President, why don’t you stop asking me to be President? Besides, in the Federation, aren’t all the branch presidents doing quite well? Are you going to create a separate one for me?”

“As for opening a separate one, that’s impossible. However, since someone wants to step back, I will replace him with you.”

“Is that even possible?”

Bai Qi froze, hesitated, and said, “President, I have to run the Super God Evolution Research Institute and attend classes at Star Mechanics Academy. If I have to be president somewhere else, it will be quite inconven…”

As Bai Qi was speaking, he noticed the smile on Zhao Futu’s face and suddenly realized. He asked uncertainly, “President, the person who applied for secondary duties you mentioned, it couldn’t be President Qin, could it?”

“Exactly, it’s Lao Qin.”

Zhao Futu nodded, “Lao Qin is already at the age of retirement. Originally, I planned to let Luo Xiang take over, but since Luo Xiang has been promoted to ‘Legend,’ he has other arrangements. Therefore, he can’t take over.”

“So, considering various aspects, I decided to let you take over as the president of Gusu City’s branch.”

Bai Qi smacked his lips and said, “But I just got promoted not too long ago, and I still need to stabilize my realm and make a dash for ‘Legend.’ This could distract me. Is this really a good idea?”

“Don’t worry, Lao Qin is just stepping back, not leaving. So, in the beginning, Lao Qin will be the co-president, dealing with some matters for you. He will only leave once you’ve gotten used to it.”

Zhao Futu smiled and said, “Strictly speaking, you can consider yourself an honorary president for now. Normally, there wouldn’t be much for you to handle.”

“I…”

Bai Qi scratched his head. He was still somewhat hesitant.

“Bai Qi, accept it. Consider it a kind of training.”

Just then, Bai Heguang spoke up suddenly, “Moreover, as a branch president, you’ll have access to quite a bit of resources, which will be quite beneficial for your future growth.”

“Access to resources?”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something. After a moment of pondering, he asked cautiously, “President, are you really sure I’m just honorary?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you? Do you want me to give you a document as proof?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Zhao Futu looked helplessly at Bai Qi but still drafted a document, signed his name, and handed it to Bai Qi after stamping it, “How about now? Is it okay?”

“Yes, definitely.”

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly and put away the document. On the other side, Zhao Futu, fearing Bai Qi might back off, immediately modified Bai Qi’s status on his computer.

“Now you are the president of Gusu City’s branch. Once you return, just report to Lao Qin.”

Zhao Futu handed Bai Qi the prepared appointment letter and said, “Although you’re just honorary for the time being, you will have to take over eventually. So, learn well from Lao Qin in the meantime. Understand?”

“Understood, understood.”

Bai Qi nodded, his mind already considering what resources he could pull in using the President’s identity.

Why not directly pull out the resources needed for those Zodiac Beasts Shuck collected?

Taking in Bai Qi’s current state, Zhao Futu chuckled and said, “Though you are an honorary president, don’t just sit back and relax. At least make sure you set up my Spirit Master Legion.”

“I’ve already found the first batch of Spirit Masters. They are the ones on the list. Later, I will send them to train in Gusu city with you. You must make them awaken their Bond Curse Mark and get familiar with fighting in a short amount of time.”

“No need to match Beast Masters of the same stage, but at least they should be effective against Ferocious Beasts.”

“I have to train them too?”

Bai Qi was taken aback on hearing these words, suddenly feeling that the appointment letter was not all that appealing.

“With great power comes great responsibility. At this crucial moment, you can’t expect to be self-serving.”

Zhao Futu said, “There’s another thing I need from you.”

“Another? President, how about I not become branch president? I feel I’m not that suited.”

Seeing that Zhao Futu started assigning tasks before he officially took office, Bai Qi fretted if he would be overwhelmed when it became official.

This president position was not desirable at all!

“Rest assured, I am not asking you to work. I just want you to help me find out about some things.”

Zhao Futu gave a resigned smile at Bai Qi’s reaction. These young people, he thought, you just couldn’t rely on them.

“Find out about things? That’s fine. President, go ahead. Who should I ask?”

Bai Qi heaved a sigh of relief and said.

“Lao Qin told me you left the Law Emperor with us and moved the Gemini Tower, used to produce the Dual Sky Mech, to the Super God Evolution Research Institute?”

“That’s right. President, are you interested in the Gemini Tower?”

Bai Qi asked.

“Indeed, if possible, I would like you to assist me in asking this Guardian some questions.”

“Oh, that makes things easier. President, you can ask him directly.”

Having said that, Bai Qi promptly pulled out Hei Bai from the Secret Realm.

“Bai Qi, you need something? I’m currently discussing the twelve Zodiac Guardian Beast’s modification solutions with Schuck. It would be better if I’m not disturbed.”

Hei Bai glanced at Bai Qi impatiently, but upon noticing the change in his surroundings, he quieted down.

“Senior, are you the Guardian of the Gemini Tower, the assistant of the Law Emperor?”

Upon seeing Hei Bai, Zhao Futu, after a brief moment of surprise, quickly collected himself and courteously asked.

“Yes, I am. What do you need from me?”

Hei Bai seemed to realize something and said, “If you’re asking about the Dual Sky Mech, I’m sorry, those are only allowed to be used when a tribe is at war, so I cannot give those to you.”

“Also, I believe I’ve already given the prototype to you, correct?”

“They can’t be used unless it’s war? That indeed fits the Law Emperor’s way.”

A flicker of disappointment passed through Zhao Futu’s eyes, but he did not insist. He said, “Although it’s rather disappointing, I shouldn’t go against the rules that the Law Emperor set.”

“However, the primary reason I sought your help is to assist us in refining a piece of equipment.”

“Come to think of it, this equipment is based on the White Mech.”

Hearing Zhao Futu’s words, Hei Bai showed interest. He said, “An appliance constructed based on Bai Qi’s Mech? Is it also a product of the fusion of runes and machinery?”

“Indeed, that’s the case.”

Zhao Futu nodded and said, “Although support-type beasts possess healing skills, overall, their number is too scarce. Therefore, we have been researching an efficient healing apparatus, hoping that it can provide aid during wars.”

“A healing apparatus? That’s possible.”

Hei Bai nodded and said, “Where is that device? Take me to see it.”

“Senior, please wait a moment, I still have some things to tell Bai Qi.”

Zhao Futu seemed helpless. Who knew that Bai Qi would have Hei Bai by his side? He had not yet finished everything he wanted to say.

“No, it’s okay. The matter of the healing device is urgent. President, why don’t you tell us where the device is, and I’ll take Hei Bai there.”

Upon hearing that Zhao Futu still needed him, Bai Qi immediately got ready to dash out with Hei Bai.

He had just been back for a few minutes, and already, he’d been assigned the President’s mission and training tasks. If he stayed any longer, Bai Qi was afraid he wouldn’t be able to leave the Six Towers.

“You young…never mind. Lao Qin will tell you anyway, so I won’t waste any more time.”

Seeing this, Zhao Futu sighed and smiled. He said, “I’ll take Senior Hei Bai to the healing device. You stay with Heguang, he brought something for you.”

“Gift? Heguang, didn’t you already give me a gift?”

Bai Qi was taken aback. The resources for building the Secret Realm Tower had just been given by Heguang. How come there was another gift?

But it seemed that Zhao Futu was in a hurry about the healing device and disappeared on the spot with Hei Bai.

“I heard from Tong Chen that you’ve been collecting specific body tissues of ferocious beasts, correct?”

Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi and asked.

“Yes, Schuck plans to create special Guardian Beasts using these.”

Bai Qi nodded, guessing what was coming.

“Because of Luo Xiang’s interference in the Northern Region, I guess you didn’t get much out of it, so I brought some samples from the Western Region for you. Check to see if they are useful.”

Saying this, Bai Heguang waved his hand, and a black portal appeared before the two of them and took them in.

“I’m not clear on what you specifically need and was worried that the effects might weaken after death, so I brought some live ones back. Check to see if they are enough.”

Bai Heguang pointed to a group of half-dead ferocious beasts in front of them and asked.

“Uh, enough. Definitely enough.”

Looking at the astonishing variety and quantity of the ferocious beasts in front of him, Bai Qi mechanically nodded his head.

He didn’t feel anything in the past when exterminating ferocious beasts, but why did he suddenly feel guilty now?

“Good enough then. The time consumed between the Sixth Stage and the Seventh Stage is quite long; it would do you good to strengthen your abilities.”

Bai Heguang slightly nodded his head and said, “Then you collect these ferocious beasts. If it’s not enough, I’ll pay attention and get you more in the future.”

“No need, no need. I’ll do it myself. I don’t want to trouble you.”

Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly. Heguang was infamous for always killing when he took action. It was already rare for him to leave so many alive. If Bai Qi changed Heguang’s battle style because of this…

Uh, it seemed pretty fun actually?
