Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 597: Chapter 592: It’s Common Sense to Take BUFF Potions When You Can’t Win

Super God Evolution Research Institute.

Luo Zhu looked at Bai Qi, who’s skin had noticeably tanned, with concern, and said, “Dear son, the conditions in the barren desert must have been tough, look at your skin now.”

“It’s not that bad, I didn’t do much.”

Bai Qi smiled, but Bai Yan, who had already heard from Duanmeng, couldn’t help but glare at Bai Qi.

“Don’t think I don’t know, there’s a lot going on in that barren desert.”

“Yes, a lot is happening, but with Huangfu Chuanqi there, how could I possibly be in danger.”

“Well, you’re not allowed to take such risks in the future.”

The father and son tacitly did not bring up specific details. Even though Luo Zhu knew they were keeping something from her, she didn’t ask, choosing to check Bai Qi for injuries instead.

“By the way, mom and dad, has everything been okay at the Super God Evolution Research Institute recently?”

Bai Qi asked.

“Everything has been normal. Professors Dong and Chu have solved the connectivity issues with the Dream Battle System, and we’ve also gotten a good handle on some new developments with the Spirit Controller.”

Bai Yan paused, then said, “But the biggest change has probably been with the Alchemy Group.”

“The Alchemy Group?”

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised. The Alchemy Group was established jointly by Master Li’s family and the Super God Evolution Research Institute, with a primary focus on studying various drugs that could enhance the power of pets.

However, most of the potions circulating on the market are meant for Beast Masters, with fewer intended for pets. Consequently, Bai Qi hadn’t heard about any major breakthroughs before he left.

“Yes, the Li family, renowned for their alchemy, have developed a new generation of the Super God Evolution II potion by combining it with the Super God Evolution I. Our tests have shown that it’s highly effective.”

Bai Yan smiled and said, “It’s about time for the Alchemy Group’s potion testing, want to go check it out?”

“Absolutely.”

Bai Qi agreed without hesitation. The level of his recent opponents had been steadily increasing, so carrying a potion to enhance his combat ability was quite necessary.

Under the guidance of Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, Bai Qi arrived at the area of the Alchemy Group and indeed saw a group of people testing the efficacy of the potion.

A tester injected an Arctic Ice Wolf with a bottle of potion using a portable syringe, then gave the Ice Wolf an attack command.

An ice pillar quickly took shape in the air, struck the target with a whoosh, and shattering it on impact.

“This destructive power… it seems stronger than a regular ice pillar. Is this a potion that enhances attack power?”

Bai Qi stroked his chin and asked.

“Yes, this is the Super God Evolution II – Giant Strength potion. After taking it, the user temporarily becomes stronger.”

Bai Yan nodded and said, “After taking it, pet spirits become agitated, which can lead to violent behavior. Therefore, it is rather suitable for natural cold creatures like the Arctic Ice Wolf.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Temporary enhancement through potions was bound to result in some side effects, but emotional instability considered one of the lighter ones.

The tester was very satisfied with the effect of the Giant Strength potion and then turned his attention to the other side, where another Arctic Ice Wolf had behaved very differently after drinking the potion.

“Was that Giant Strength before, and now it’s Swift Speed?”

Bai Qi watched the Ice Wolf nimbly dodging attacks in the testing field and turned to other testing areas.

Strength, speed, defense, attribute enhancement…

Although they all were Super God Evolution II, the enhancement effects varied greatly, and all seemed to be working exceptionally well.

“Mom and Dad, it seems like you’re trying to completely change the way we fight.”

After viewing all the potion tests, Bai Qi couldn’t help but marvel.

Typically, pets mainly rely on direct confrontation during fights. In group battles, auxiliary pets would support by providing BUFFs.

But now, no matter what type of pet you have, it seems you’d have to take some potions for buffs before starting the fight.

“Leader Bai, Leader Luo, you’re here.”

The arrival of the threesome attracted the attention of a middle-aged man, and Master Li, who also noticed their arrival.

“Bai Qi… uh, Master Bai Qi, you’re back?”

Seeing Bai Qi appear, Master Li was visibly surprised. He wanted to come forward to say something, but stopped in his tracks after seeing the middle-aged man nearby, twirling his shirt nervously.

“So you’re Master Bai Qi, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

The middle-aged man took a long look at Bai Qi and said, “My name is Li Lei, Li Shi’s father.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Bai Qi shook Li Lei’s hand. However, upon sensing a faint hostility from Li Lei, Bai Qi was somewhat bewildered.

Shouldn’t the Li family have been cooperating with the Super God Evolution Research Institute? Where did this hostility come from? He had never met Li Lei before.

“Master Lei, have all the independent enhancement variants of the Super God Evolution II potion been successfully developed?”

Bai Yan approached Li Lei and asked.

“Yes, they’ve been successful, but the formulation needs to be adjusted and streamlined a bit, otherwise, production might become a bit complicated.”

Li Lei nodded and said, “Thanks to the help of Leader Bai and Leader Luo, we could not have completed the Super God Evolution II potion on our own.”

“A mere gesture for us, the knowledge of alchemy from the Li family has been of great help to us.”

Luo Zhu also heaped praises and after added, “My son just got back and is still unaware of these developments, Master Li, would you mind showing Bai Qi around?”

Although the Alchemy Group now belongs to the Super God Evolution Research Institute, unlike the Rune and Machinery Groups, it operates more like a collaborative unit and is relatively independent.

“Of course, had it not been for Master Bai Qi’s agreement, our Li family could never have cooperated with the Super God Evolution Research Institute.”

Li Lei nodded slightly, leading the way with utmost courtesy, though Bai Qi felt Li Lei’s gaze on him was somewhat strange.

“Dad, you guys didn’t exploit the Li family in my name, did you?”

Bai Qi leaned in to whisper to Bai Yan.

“What are you thinking? Is your father that kind of person?”

Bai Yan hit Bai Qi with a punch, his hand aching from the impact with Bai Qi’s sturdy body. He then murmured, “Master Li is rather straightforward, you will get used to it.”

“Good then.”

Bai Qi nodded and followed Li Lei into the Alchemy Group.

Unlike the secret wizard room that Bai Qi had imagined, the structure of the Alchemy Group was incredibly modern. Various machines were processing different materials and blending them together efficiently.

“Though our Li family has a long-standing heritage, we are not bound by tradition, especially after cooperating with the Super God Evolution Research Institute. We’ve adopted many high-tech instruments to assist in potion-making.”

Li Lei guided everyone through the production line, introducing each component before finally stopping at a large workspace.

“For some new potions, we are still using manual mixtures until we have determined the best ratios, before proceeding to production.”

Li Lei picked up some materials, skillfully processing them with the tools on the table, and then carefully placed them into a potion bottle for fusion.

Soon, a potion glowing like a ruby captivated everyone’s attention.

“This is an amplifying potion that Master Li developed. I’ve improved it slightly so it can enhance strength and stamina over a long period.”

Li Lei proudly passed the potion to Bai Yan, “Although we can’t mass-produce it yet, we can sell it as a limited-edition product.”

“Enhancing multiple attributes over a long period, Master Li truly lives up to your reputation.”

Bai Yan took the potion and the relevant test data, unabashedly praising Li Lei.

He was aware of Master Li’s talent in alchemy, which was indeed exceptional. However, to independently develop this level of potion, he seemed a little short.

No doubt that this potion was likely developed with Li Lei’s guidance, and to some extent, groomed.

Regrettably, Bai Qi’s interests were too broad and he was successful in various areas. Therefore, it was difficult for him to guide Bai Qi like Li Lei did.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan looked at Bai Qi, intending to say something, but found that Bai Qi, who had summoned Jie Ta, was busily talking about something.

“Jie Ta, pay attention and learn, try to make these potions.”

Blurr-blurr?

(Sure, master, but can I get a taste?)

Jie Ta nodded obediently, but his eyes were locked on the potion in Li Lei’s hand.

“Drinking the potion? Are you trying to be the all-tasting Shennong?”

Blurr-blurr?

(Shennong? Who’s that?)

“Well, it’s about an old man who dared to taste all kinds of herbs.”

Blurr-blurr!

(I’m also not afraid to die! I also want to try!)

Jie Ta seemed interested immediately upon hearing this. Bai Qi could only ask Li Lei for the potion, but found that everyone was looking at him with an odd expression.

“Cough cough… Bai Qi, you should pay more attention to what you say.”

Bai Qi coughed lightly, then looked at Li Lei, whose face twitched slightly, and said, “Master Li, it seems that you haven’t fully tested this potion, why not let me give it a try?”

“Sure, but I won’t be responsible if it hurts your health.”

As soon as Li Lei said this, Bai Qi felt even more awkward. Fortunately, Li Lei quickly adjusted his attitude, saying, “This one is undiluted. Let me dilute it a bit before letting Master Bai Qi try.”

“Okay, thank you, Master Li Lei.”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, only to suddenly notice that Jie Ta had waved his hand at the potion bottle, and the potion inside had flown straight out and landed in Jie Ta’s mouth.

“Jie Ta, didn’t I tell you not to… cough cough… not to eat so much at once?”

Blurr-blurr~

(But Jie Ta feels it tastes good~)

Jie Ta swallowed the potion, his fire rune blinked, and he immediately transformed into the form of the Fire Naughty Child. This time he seemed more mature than before. Then he waved his hand, and the whole testing field was enveloped in flames.

“This boost, it’s really strong!”

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up at the sight. Jie Ta had just waved his hand and achieved such power, imagine how exaggerated it could be if he used his abilities! It’s no wonder previous battles always felt lacking. Consuming a buff potion is the normal thing to do in fights against bosses, not pushing through stubbornly!
