"You're saying that the anomalies around the valley are caused by a dream vine parasitic on the ancient tree of knowledge?"
President Qin was obviously a little surprised after reading Bai Qi's report.
Originally, he asked Bai Qi to investigate the situation there, mainly because no powerful life source was detected inside. If he knew that there was an ancient tree of knowledge inside, he would send a more advanced beast master there.
Bai Qi nodded and said: "That's right, but the ancient tree of knowledge has died. A similar situation should not happen again."
"I understand, but the remains of the ancient tree of knowledge can't just be left outside. I'll ask someone to clean up the mess later."
President Qin put down the mission report in his hand and said, "By the way, where is the dream vine now?"
"Ahem, I think that dream vine is special, so I brought it back for study."
Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Isn't it because the beastmaster has the right to handle the gains from the mission?"
"Why are you so nervous? I wouldn't ask you to hand over a dream vine."
President Qin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "By the way, the news from the 13th Bureau is that the Yuling Ball should be officially distributed in the next few days. Do you have any thoughts on this creator?"
"Thinking?"
Bai Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Is there any charge for distributing the spirit ball?"
President Qin's expression froze and he said, "Including the Soul Control Ball, you already have four core patents. Why are you still thinking about money?"
Can you blame me? Those brats at home spend too much money and buy some epic materials to replenish their health. How can they afford it in the future if they don’t make more money?
Bai Qi shrugged helplessly, with a look on his face that was at a loss for words, while President Qin seemed to have thought of something and said no more.
To do so much research is indeed very expensive.
Well, let's try to help Bai Qi later and see if he can apply for a research fund. Anyway, the better Bai Qi is, the greater the benefit will be to the association.
President Qin took out a document and handed it to Bai Qi, saying: "This is the preliminary implementation plan for the Soul Control Ball. After being tested, every non-talented person can come to the association to receive a free Soul Control Ball, and they can
They choose one of the three pet beasts designated by the association to make a contract, and they need to spend their own money to purchase the subsequent spirit balls."
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Although he originally proposed a quantitative limit for the Thirteenth Bureau, for those without talent, their mental power contract with one pet beast is already the limit. If there are more, it is likely to
If there is a situation where the order of the contract cannot be maintained, sending one is actually enough.
"In addition to those without talents, there are other...well, what about beast masters who cannot continue the contract? Can they also receive it?"
President Qin's expression immediately softened when he heard this, nodded, and said: "As long as it passes the certification of the association, it's okay."
Speaking of this, President Qin took out his green leaf ball and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. I originally thought that I would not be able to contract the seventh pet beast in my lifetime, but it turned out that you made it happen."
As he spoke, President Qin gently threw the green leaf ball in his hand, and a ferocious beast with a metallic luster all over its body appeared in front of Bai Qi.
[Name]: Helmet Rhinoceros
[Attribute]: Steel system
[Bloodline Level]: Middle Lord
…
"Middle lord? President, how did you succeed in the contract?"
Looking at the helmeted rhinoceros in front of him who was definitely not low in level, Bai Qi was a little stunned, while President Qin raised his head very proudly and said: "Why am I also a Xiri-level master? I can still suppress a lord creature.
Even though your green leaf ball can store too little spiritual power, otherwise I would still like to try it with a king-level creature."
"Sorry, I was the one holding me back..."
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, and then carefully looked at the helmeted rhinoceros in front of him.
Compared with Zhuge Chen's polar ice wolf that looked like it had been raised by humans, President Qin's helmeted rhinoceros obviously had a hint of wild ferocity, but after seeing President Qin, the helmeted rhinoceros had a distinct expression on its face.
A trace of fear appeared on the ground.
"Um, President, do you mind if I ask you about the details of how you conquered this helmeted rhinoceros?"
"Of course, I plan to popularize this method."
President Qin nodded and said: "Actually, it's very simple. Beat the Helmet Rhino to half to death first, then heal it, and then continue to beat him. Repeat a few more times, and he will make a contract with you on his own."
Bai Qi: "..."
President, are you afraid that people from the Pet Animal Protection Association will complain to you if you do this?
Oh no, the Helmeted Rhinoceros was originally a ferocious beast, so that’s okay.
"But President, aren't you an auxiliary beast master? Why did you choose a helmeted rhinoceros? It should be an offensive type, right?"
Bai Qi looked at the helmeted rhinoceros, who was obediently surrendering to Chairman Qin's claws like a frightened puppy, and couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, my first six pet beasts were almost all auxiliary types. Now that I'm old, I suddenly have an addiction to attacking types."
President Qin nodded and said: "Anyway, with the help of my six pet beasts, even if the Helmet Rhinoceros cannot be upgraded with me, its combat effectiveness will not necessarily be weaker."
Good guy, are you planning to drag one out of six to forcibly create a pet beast with full BUFF?
Tsk, Xiri-level master is willful.
"Speaking of this, the improvement of pet beasts contracted with the spirit ball is always a problem. Do you have any good ideas over there?"
President Qin put away his helmet and rhinoceros and said: "There may not be any problems in the early stage of the popularity of the spirit ball, but when the spirit ball becomes popular, conflicts will probably be inevitable."
The world is not worried about scarcity but inequality. It would be fine if it never existed. After the spiritual master successfully contracts, he will definitely be compared with the beast master. By then, all kinds of bloody plots will probably appear one after another.
Bai Qi shook his head and said: "The contract between the spiritual master and the pet beast is very loose. If the pet beast is willing to stay with the spiritual master after it is promoted, it depends on the spiritual master himself to put effort into managing the relationship with the pet beast.
It has nothing to do with it, after all, a melon that is forced is not sweet."
"That's right, we can only do this for the time being."
President Qin nodded and said: "But you should also put more thought into the Soul Control Ball. If you can break through the current limitations, your contribution to mankind will really be as good as those of the great emperors in history."
"President, do you think too highly of me?"
Bai Qi sighed helplessly after hearing this, why do these leaders like painting cakes so much.
Comparable to the emperor?
Let’s wait and see when it becomes a title legend.
But even if President Qin didn't say anything, Bai Qi had no intention of relaxing the improvement plan of the Spirit Ball.
In addition to increasing the storage limit of the mental power memory, Bai Qi has recently been working on researching special spirit balls for pet beasts with different attributes.
For example, the big earth of the ground system, the sky ball of the flying system, the wave ball of the water system...
This kind of special ball adds the unique attribute runes of each series on the basis of the original spirit ball. In theory, it can increase the success rate of the contract.
After ordinary spirit-control balls become popular, Bai Qi plans to launch these special balls one after another, which will definitely sell out.
It's a pity that Nicholas's Jade Mark cannot be popularized, otherwise the effect would be even better.
Hmm, how about a limited edition?
Do another lottery?
Bai Qi's brain was running wildly, and a complete business idea gradually took shape.
"President, is the Federation responsible for the production of the spirit balls?"
President Qin nodded and said: "The first batch of imperial spirit balls were produced by the military factory of the Thirteenth Bureau, but I estimate that the production rights will be slowly transferred to some consortiums focusing on the mechanical system in the future.
.”
"But at most it's just the outer shell of the spirit ball. The thirteen rounds of mental power memory will definitely not be given to anyone else."
Maybe Bai Qi himself didn't think it was anything, but President Qin knew very well how huge the strategic significance Bai Qi's mental power memory represented.
In addition to relying on pet beasts, the use of talents is also an important part of a beast master's battle. As long as a beast master uses talents, he will consume physical and mental energy.
Physical strength can be replenished by potions, but relying solely on potions for mental strength will be a huge burden on the body of a beast master.
After Bai Qi's mental power memory was born, the beast master could store his mental power in advance and extract it when needed.
Although there is no device to reabsorb stored mental power yet, President Qin is sure that the research department of Bureau 13 must be working overtime.
"Is that so...Does the Wuhou Consortium have production qualifications?"
Bai Qi understood what was said and immediately thought of Zhuge Chen's family.
"I guess not. The Wuhou Consortium's original focus was not on the mechanical system, and it has already taken over the breeding farm of the Spirit Ball beasts. The Thirteenth Bureau will not hand over the production rights of the Spirit Ball to them anymore."
"All right."
Bai Qi sighed with regret. Originally, he thought that the wealth would not go to outsiders. By then, the manufacturing rights of the special balls would be handed over to the Zhuge family, which would also save him from having to argue with the Thirteenth Bureau. Now it seems that he wants to
too much.
"But I can roughly guess which company will be handed over to produce the spirit ball in the thirteenth round, and you also know this company."
President Qin smiled, and Bai Qi reacted after a brief moment of doubt.
"Xia's Consortium?"
Although the Xia Consortium is an emerging consortium in the Federation, its main focus is on the mechanical system, and Xia Yan, the second son of the Xia Consortium, himself serves in the Thirteenth Bureau. Even the military's standard pet beast Po Jun is produced by the Xia Consortium.
It also makes sense to hand the ball to the opponent.
"That's right, it's the Xia Consortium."
President Qin nodded, then showed a strange smile on his face, and said: "But you invented this spirit ball after all. I guess I will come to ask for your opinion for reference in the thirteenth round."
"So, there may be a lot of people coming to you these days, so you'd better be mentally prepared~"
"Come to me?"
Bai Qi was thoughtful when he heard the words, while President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said: "Don't be soft-hearted with the benefits that come to your door."
