Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Transformation = Evolution?

Zizz-zizz.
Inside Bai Qi’s home workshop, he held an electric soldering iron, tinkering with something. The husky was quietly squatting beside him, watching his operations.
“Number two screwdriver.”
After putting down the electric soldering iron, Bai Qi ordered the husky who obediently lifted its right leg. A screwdriver extended from inside its mechanical prosthetic limb and quickly spun, aimed at a screw.
“Phew- It’s finally done.”
After removing his goggles, Bai Qi looked at the formidable new Steel Training Dummy in front of him and nodded satisfactorily.
The previous Steel Training Dummy had been dismantled by the husky beyond repair. Bai Qi didn’t bother to fix it. Furthermore, ever since Alpha evolved into the Ice Shadow Swordsman, the previous Steel Training Dummy could hardly inflict any harm anymore, and the efficiency of training had naturally declined.
But the one now was different. It used higher-level materials and the power system, and even Alpha’s attack mode was upgraded.
Bai Qi took out a remote control and made the Steel Training Dummy 1.0 Version move to the yard, facing Alpha who was training on the speed of his Ice Armor condensation, he said, “Alpha, come and try.”
Alpha halted his training and looked at the shiny metal cylinder in front of him, puzzled.
Clatter-clatter.
(Master, is this a new training equipment?)
Bai Qi nodded and said, “That’s right, just like before.”
Alpha nodded, walked in front of the Steel Training Dummy, and readied himself, and Bai Qi pressed the first button.
Rumble…
Tens of steel rods extended out from the Steel Training Dummy and started spinning rapidly like propellers.
Alpha tried to resist forcefully as before, but he didn’t last long before cracks appeared on his ice-blue skeleton, but they quickly healed.
“Alpha, try it with the Ice Sword.”
Seeing that Alpha was slowly adapting to the rhythm of the Steel Training Dummy, Bai Qi immediately pressed the second button.
Tens of differently shaped blades drilled out from the steel rods, which either protruded or rotated, initiating an attack on Alpha. Before Alpha could condense his Ice Sword, his arm was broken by a rapidly rotating Wolf’s Tooth Stick.
Steel Training Dummy – Unmatched Mode!
Clatter-clatter.
(Master, I wasn’t ready yet.)
Alpha reattached his severed arm and said to Bai Qi.
Ever since he evolved into the Ice Shadow Swordsman, Alpha’s emotions had grown richer, and now, he even started to experience feelings of grievance.
“You’ll have to get used to it. Battles in the wild won’t give you time to prepare like other bouts.”
Bai Qi earnestly lectured Alpha who obediently nodded, then he composed himself and continued to struggle with Steel Training Dummy 1.0.
“No wonder martial arts novels always say that people with simple thoughts learn faster than others. There’s some truth to that.”
Bai Qi watched Alpha, who was gradually getting into the swing of things, very pleased. Finally, he turned his gaze onto the husky.
Awoo?
(Human, what are you plotting this time?)
Feeling Bai Qi’s gaze, the husky immediately became alert.
The last time Bai Qi looked at him this way, his mechanical prosthetic limb ended up with a bunch of jumbled tools, and it had been thoroughly turned into Bai Qi’s tool dog.
Why didn’t it resist?
Please remove the electrical device from its prosthetic limb before you talk to me.
“Alright, it’s time to upgrade you.”
Bai Qi squatted down and checked the integration of the husky’s mechanical prosthetic limb and flesh.
Out of fear of causing adverse reactions, Bai Qi didn’t install any weapons, but settled for some tools instead.
The outcome seemed good so far. The husky could control tools inside for some simple operations.
It proved that his idea of using biological nerves to control energy machinery was feasible.
As for complicated actions, the connection between the husky and the mechanical prosthetic limb was inadequate for the husky to carry them out yet.
But Bai Qi was in no hurry. After a few more evolutions, the bond between the machinery and flesh would intensify, and things should improve significantly.
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
A series of hurried doorbell rings reverberated. Bai Qi, who was preparing to use the Evolution Egg on the husky, had to stop abruptly.
“I haven’t ordered anything these days. Who could be looking for me?”
While muttering, Bai Qi opened the front door. He was a bit puzzled to see that Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan were standing at the doorway.
“Brother Gao, Lu Yuan, how did you find my house?”
Gao Cheng scratched his head shyly and said, “Sorry to bother you, we actually need your help with something.”
Lu Yuan remained silent, but clearly shared the same goal with Gao Cheng.
“Let’s talk inside.”
Both followed Bai Qi into the yard and saw Alpha battling against Steel Training Dummy – Unmatched Mode. They were stunned.
Does he train his pet beast this way all the time?
And this kind of equipment, wouldn’t it be confiscated as an offensive weapon?
Even students specialized in mechanical martial arts wouldn’t do this, right?
“Sorry, it’s a bit noisy here. Let’s talk inside.”
Gao Cheng and Lu Yuan stared at each other, feeling for the first time that their training had been too lax.
No wonder he could increase his pet beast’s strength to this extent within just a month. Besides the good luck, his terrifying training method must be one of the reasons.
“What do you two want to drink?”
Bai Qi invited them to sit down, and then started rummaging through the fridge.
Gao Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “No need, we’ll leave in a bit.”
“Then I won’t be polite.”
Bai Qi casually opened a bottle of God’s Water and took a sip, saying, “You two have come all the way here for something? If it’s about the data for Lamentation Tower, I’ve already reported it to the Beast Master Association. You can go to the association and ask.”
To assist trainee Beast Masters of Gusu City to pass levels better, President Qin had Bai Qi sort out the data about monsters on each level and wrote an attack guide to give to the challengers. It could be considered an exclusive benefit for Gusu City.
He’s using God’s Water as a beverage?
Lu Yuan’s eyes twitched. Suddenly, he felt that coming here was a mistake.
He couldn’t adapt to such extravagant and crazy training methods.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Gao Cheng pointed at Alpha outside and said, “Actually, it’s not about the Lamentation Tower. We came mainly to ask whether you could help us modify our pet beasts too?”
“Our pet beasts’ strength can’t be improved in a short time, so we want to ask if there are any other methods.”
“If they could also have a Racial Evolution like your pet beast, I would basically be guaranteed to pass the professional examination at the end of the month.”
“Otherwise, according to this year’s situation, I might be eliminated again.”
Modification = Evolution?
Umm, seems like these two made a mistake?
