Who Want to Harm the Dog

Bai Qi rushed home, glanced at the husky comfortably cooling itself on top of an ice block, and then went to his bedroom to start a shopping spree.
It had to be said that the benefits of this special talent nurturing program were really good. The items sold on the Association’s website were already affordable, and now they were offering a 30% discount.
“Huh… let’s see, God’s Water is 14,000 Federal Coins after the discount. Is selling it by the box cheaper? Let’s go with ten boxes for now!”
“Hmm, Angel Fruit, I haven’t seen this before. Its effects are even stronger than God’s Water! Each one sells for 500,000, a bit expensive but I’ll buy a few to prepare for Alpha’s racial evolution.”
Bai Qi didn’t hesitate to buy a large number of supplements and some mechanical materials before exiting the website.
“Phew- I spent 10 million dollars just like that?”
Half of his 20 million Federal Coins was spent in no time, Bai Qi was quite impressed by his own shopping capabilities.
But, man, it felt good to splurge-
Bai Qi glanced at his remaining robust balance, resisting the urge to continue shopping, and closed the webpage.
!!..
Although the money came easy, there were many more expenses in the future. Better to spend sparingly.
After all, the cost of learning Mechanical Martial Arts was not small.
Next, Bai Qi took out the Sun Flame Fruit and examined it carefully.
The whole Sun Flame Fruit was red, clear and lustrous, as if a flame was burning within it.
Wonder what it tastes like.
The fruit was not big, Bai Qi swallowed the whole Sun Flame Fruit in one gulp.
Oh, a mixture of sour and sweet, much tastier than a tomato.
Bai Qi savoured the flavor, feeling a bit unsatisfied. Afterwards, he felt a warm current flowed through his body, completely dispelling his fatigue.
Other than that, there were no other changes.
Could it have expired from waiting too long?
With doubt in his mind, Bai Qi summoned Alpha to use the Evolution Egg once more.
His physical stamina and spirit power were quickly depleted, but without the previous weakness, he only felt slightly dizzy.
“Not bad, barely passable.”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, drank a bottle of the Nutrient Solution to replenish his energy, then headed towards his workshop.
Previously, due to budget constraints, the equipment Alpha used for training was only a piece of junk that had been discarded. Now that Bai Qi had money, it was natural to redesign a piece for Alpha.
Alpha’s rate of evolution was too fast, and its skill proficiency always couldn’t keep up. The Association’s training grounds were not open 24/7, so Bai Qi could only design a set by himself.
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang just as Bai Qi was halfway through his blueprint.
“Is it delivered already?”
He ordered only a little more than half an hour ago, and they already delivered it? This speed of delivery deserved a five-star review!
Bai Qi opened the door and was greeted with the sight of a massive griffin.
“Hello, ShunTong Express at your service, here is your delivery.”
[Name]: Gale Wing
[Nature]: Flying system
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Racial skills]: Storm assault, Intimidation, Crazy Claw Strike
[Introduction]: Griffin that rides the wild winds and soars in the sky, extremely fast in flight
Using a low-level Lord to deliver packages, are all courier companies operating at this level now?
Bai Qi looked at the griffin behind the delivery guy and couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment in his mind. The delivery guy seemed to understand Bai Qi’s thoughts and explained, “I’m just joking, the Association wouldn’t trust the internal products to be transported by other courier companies, we have our own channels.”
I see, that makes sense.
However, it seems a waste to just let this Lord creature that was delivered to the door fly away.
Lv You unloaded the God’s Water and Angel Fruit from the Gale Wing’s back, all preserved in a refrigerated box. Bai Qi saw the opportunity, went to help, and touched the Gale Wing.
Roar!
The Gale Wing clearly didn’t like being touched by a stranger and couldn’t help but let out a low roar.
“Sorry, my Gale Wing is a bit shy. I can handle this.”
Lv You quickly apologized to Bai Qi, unloaded all the goods, and said, “Here are your God’s Water and Angel Fruit. The rest of the mechanical materials will be sent over by a dedicated vehicle in a while, make sure to accept the delivery.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”
Bai Qi nodded, watched as Lv You disappeared into the horizon, and carried all the items back into the house. Afterward, he began to check the condition of the Evolution Egg.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Black Iron Egg, 99% complete)
[Condition]: Activated
In the Beast Control Space, the last intact shell of the Evolution Egg also broke open. From the cracks, one could faintly see the bronze light seeping out. However, the progress of the Evolution Egg was stuck at 99%.
Based on past experiences, a low-level Lord should be able to provide a progress of 20%, why was it only 1%?
Would it be stuck for several years like before?
“Do I need to go find a mutant species to evolve the egg again?”
Thinking of the previous method to activate the Golden Finger, Bai Qi suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Although he encountered two mutant species within a short month, normally, mutant species were not something you could just come across.
At least, among the people Bai Qi knew, it seemed that only he possessed a mutant species.
If only he knew, he wouldn’t have evolved the husky so early.
Bai Qi withdrew his consciousness from the Beast Control Space, looked at the contented husky and decided not to worry about these problems for now.
As for the issue with the mutant species, he could ask President Qin if there was a solution when the time came.
If all else fails, he could find an excuse to activate the contract on President Qin’s beast, that might work too.
The most pressing matter was to quickly complete the training facilities for Alpha, then become a Second Stage Beast Master as soon as possible, and contract the husky.
Bai Qi was pretty sure his second beast would be the husky, so he occasionally increased the husky’s attributes when Alpha was absorbing the residual energy from the Black Iron Egg.
Mutant species were rare, and Bai Qi wasn’t going to let the husky go that easily.
Moreover, this dummy’s mutation was probably related to its sensory abilities.
Having a radar pet that could even sense the appearance of the Secret Realm Tower, Bai Qi felt confident wherever he went.
As for weak combat capabilities…
Hehe-
Could it be weaker than Alpha when it first contracted?
That said, it’s about time to put the husky’s enhancement plan on the agenda
A fusion product of energy mechanics and flesh and blood creatures, this dummy had much more operability than Alpha.
Oooh?
(Recently, I’ve been feeling like there are villains who want to harm dogs?)
The husky, which had been sleeping in the pile of ice, suddenly woke up and looked around suspiciously. After making sure there were no dangers, it laid back down, completely unaware that someone had set their sights on it..
