“Argh~”

In the Elf House daycare room, Bai Qi silently watched a man and a wolf, playing out a scene of an epic chase, and sighed quietly.

[Name]: Arctic Ice Wolf

[Race]: Wolf Species

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite

[Introduction]: This wolf, which dwells year-round in freezing climates, is calm and composed, boasting remarkable ice-based skills.

Even though Bai Qi was a mechanical engineering student, his knowledge was rather extensive, so he quickly recalled the information about this pet.

However, he found it hard to reconcile the image of this Arctic Ice Wolf with the one in front of him.

The black and white fur, the deep blue pupils, and the three lines of vertical scars that patterned at the center of its forehead.

Add to that its unusually hyperactive nature – it was a spitting image of Bai Qi’s Husky from his previous life.

It was said that dogs evolved from wolves, but looking at the situation before him, it seemed more like devolution.

What else would you call an Arctic Ice Wolf without any ice-based skills if not a devolution?

“I’ll handle this.”

Seeing Zhuge Chen, who was clearly out of stamina, Bai Qi stepped forward and touched the Husky with a metal stick. The Husky immediately stiffened and fell down.

“Gosh~ this rascal, even with one leg less, he couldn’t stay quiet.”

Seeing the Husky finally stop, Zhuge Chen panted heavily, and asked, “But, will it be okay like this?”

Bai Qi shook his head and said, “Of course, this level of electric current will only paralyze him temporarily, it won’t hurt him.”

Speaking of which, Bai Qi turned the Husky over, picked up his mechanical limbs and tools from the side, and started working with ease.

“Done.”

Soon, Bai Qi had installed the mechanical limbs. Seeing the Husky that was still laying still and sticking out its tongue, Bai Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“Zhuge Chen, are you sure this guy’s leg was smashed by an ice block and not bitten off by its own kind?”

With such an amusing personality, this Husky would certainly be treated as an oddball within its stern-faced Arctic Ice Wolf peers.

Zhuge Chen shrugged, and said, “Who knows, but you reminded me. Ever since the mechanical limb was installed, it has been rejected by its own kind. I must arrange a separate room for it.”

As soon as his words fell, the Husky abruptly stood up, randomly bolted, and steadily fled the daycare room.

“Argh!”

In this world, there was no cage that could lock him up!

Watching the quickly retreating Husky, Bai Qi took out a remote control and pressed a button. A small electric current suddenly sprang from the mechanical limb, causing the Husky to twitch all over and fall to the ground. The air was faintly filled with the scent of roasted meat.

“I installed an electric shock device inside. it will prevent this guy from running around in the future. Here, this is the remote control.”

Zhuge Chen took the remote control, not knowing what to say, but Bai Qi was impatient and urged him, “Okay, take me to see those more eccentric pets you have.”

Zhuge Chen glanced at Bai Qi in confusion, and asked, “Why, are you looking for some more mutant species?”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “Sort of.”

The Evolution Egg’s activation had been rather sudden, and Bai Qi wasn’t sure yet if it was because of the Alpha or the mutation.

The Undead Department Pets weren’t common within the city, even if there were any, they were already under contract with someone and he couldn’t research on them, so he could only try mutated ones at Zhuge Chen’s place.

Once Bai Qi confirmed, Zhuge Chen revealed a helpless look, and said, “You’ve been to my farm before, if there were any mutated ones then they would have already been booked. As for Alpha, it just came from Undead Hill so no one found out.”

Tsk, that makes sense.

Bai Qi could not help but feel some headaches, but still was not willing to give up, and dragged Zhuge Chen around each breeding area again.

Of course, the result was obvious, and the Evolution Egg hadn’t undergone any change.

He might just have to go to Undead Hill, but it seemed that only those who had obtained a Beast Master license could go there.

He had been too focused on studying the Golden Finger and had forgotten about this matter.

However, Alpha had just made a contract, and probably wouldn’t pass the examination for now. He could take a walk around the training field there, and see the effect of his modification.

…

Beast Master Association.

Bai Qi hurriedly rushed to the counter, where a young female receptionist welcomed him with a smile.

“Hello, welcome to the Beast Master Association. What service would you like to avail?”

Bai Qi stepped forward and said, “Hello, I want to rent a training ground.”

There are only three ways to enhance a Beast Master’s pet.

Resources, training, and battle.

Using resources to supplement the growth needs of the pet is the easiest and simplest method, but this method is slow and costs a lot of money.

Training is relatively more challenging, but it can more effectively promote the improvement of the pet’s own abilities. If it is supplemented with appropriate resources, the effect might be even better.

As for battles, although they have the highest risk and can even threaten the life of a Beast Master, the benefits they bring to the pet and the Beast Master are the most significant.

This benefit is not an improvement in one aspect of ability but is the combat skills and experience gained in life and death. This is not something that can be obtained from resources and training,

Bai Qi had just signed a contract with Alpha and naturally wouldn’t risk going outside to engage in any life-and-death battles. As for resources.

What resources can the Undead Department use to enhance themselves? Waiting online, it’s quite urgent.

So the only option left for Bai Qi was training.

The female receptionist smiled and nodded, saying, “Can I know your pet’s race, so I can arrange a venue for you.”

Bai Qi said, “Undead Department, Skeleton Soldier.”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the female receptionist’s face was a little awkward, and she said, “I’m sorry, but recently there’s been a surge in the number of undead Beast Masters in Gusu City, so the training field for the Undead Department is already full.”

This too? Was it because of the “Son of Celestial Brilliance” coming to Gusu City?

Bai Qi couldn’t help but despise Gusu City’s blind star-chasing behavior. However, after noticing the strange look in the female receptionist’s eyes, he quickly realized.

Did she think of him as one of those mindless fans?

Bai Qi felt rather helpless and was about to leave when the female receptionist continued, “Of course, if you don’t mind, I can arrange for you to train with others.”

Usually, Beast Masters don’t like to expose their training methods in front of others, but recently the training field for the Undead Department was seriously overcrowded. Most of the ones here were first-stage apprentice Beast Masters, and that’s why the association proposed this solution.

“No problem.”

Bai Qi pondered for a moment and chose to agree.

He wanted to see the training effect of the specialized field first. If the difference wasn’t significant, he might as well stay at home and train.

“Okay, then. Please fill out your basic information, and then pay 500 Federal Coins to wait for your number.”

500 Federal Coins?!

Bai Qi felt a pang of pain. He had just given Alpha a set of simple mechanical armor, and had also paid Zhuge Chen the fee for Little Skeleton. He had very little left of his living expenses.

Although considering the wear and tear of the training field, this price was reasonable, but that didn’t help his current financial straits.

It seemed he needed to find a way to earn money. If he only relied on the living expenses given by his parents, Bai Qi would really have to eat dirt.
