Andro Beast Skull Version

Chapter 3 Andromon - Skull Version

the next day.

Zhuge Chen appeared in front of Bai Qi's house carrying a large bag. After pressing the doorbell, he waited for a long time before the door slowly opened. Bai Qi, with deep dark circles under his eyes and a sallow complexion, appeared at the door.

Seeing that it was Zhuge Chen who had arrived, Bai Qi shook his slightly dizzy head and said, "Zhuge Chen? You're finally here. Did you bring any food?"

"Um, are you alright?"

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Zhuge Chen was speechless and handed the shopping bag to Bai Qi, saying, "You were fine yesterday..."

Bai Qi yawned, rummaging through his shopping bags as he replied, "Nothing, I just didn't sleep last night."

Zhuge Chen glanced at Bai Qi, who looked like a starving ghost, with some suspicion, but didn't ask any more questions. He said, "You ran away after you made the contract yesterday. I thought I'd come and see you today and congratulate you."

"By the way, where's your skeleton?"

"Alpha? It's lying in my studio."

Bai Qi pointed to the courtyard, then felt a wave of dizziness. He immediately took out a piece of bread from the bag and quickly devoured it before he could recover.

Yesterday, he evolved Alpha six times in a row, almost draining his already weak body. In addition, he also did some other things that made him look foolish. If Zhuge Chen had arrived any later, he might have starved to death here.

However, this also served as a reminder to Bai Qi that he would need to prepare some supplements in advance before using the Evolution Egg in the future.

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Zhuge Chen couldn't help but recall some rumors about undead-type pets and couldn't help but shudder.

Could this guy have had his life force drained by that skeleton? He seemed to have heard of cases in other cities where undead pets rebelled and drained their tamers of their life force.

Are you sure you're really okay?

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Since you're here, give me a hand."

Zhuge Chen nodded and followed Bai Qi to his studio, where he saw Alpha lying obediently on a platform, though it had been dismantled into pieces.

This scene is almost identical to the Frankenstein monster in the movies.

Zhuge Chen looked at Bai Qi speechlessly and said, "Is this what you were doing yesterday?"

"Alpha's foundation is too weak, so I plan to strengthen it appropriately."

Bai Qi nodded, picked up a mechanical shoulder guard from the side, and deftly connected Alpha's arm to his body.

"Don't just stand there, help me install it. I specially designed it to be a plug-and-play type, it's not difficult at all."

Is this how you ask for help...?

Zhuge Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, but seeing Bai Qi's look like he might fall asleep at any moment, he still obediently helped out.

Alpha was quickly reassembled, still looking thin and frail, but with the metal protective gear, it seemed to have become a bit stronger.

That's good, so we don't have to worry about the little skeleton moving too fast and causing its joints to fall off.

Bai Qi looked at it from head to toe and was quite satisfied with his design.

Actually, if the little skeletons weren't unable to bear too much weight, Bai Qi would have liked to add even more.

Laser sword, breastplate cannon...

If he wanted to, he could even create an otherworldly Andromon.

Of course, Bai Qi was just thinking about these things. These weapons were only available to third-tier or higher mechanical beast tamers, and they were quite expensive, beyond the reach of a student like him who lived off his parents' allowance.

Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Zhuge Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "So why were you in such a hurry to form a contract yesterday? There are quite a few pets in the Elf House that are worth having as your main pet."

Having finally awakened his talent, Bai Qi ended up contracting a skeleton soldier with extremely low potential, which Zhuge Chen found somewhat regrettable.

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Alpha may just be a skeleton soldier, but it's still a mutated species, so it's not necessarily any worse than the others."

Zhuge Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. Thinking of Alpha's unusually fast speed yesterday, he seemed to understand and said, "I see. If it's a mutant, then it makes sense."

[Name]: Skeleton Army (Alpha)

[Race]: Undead

[Growth Level]: Tier 0, Level 3

[Bloodline Level]: High-Rank Servant (Alienation)

[Racial Skills]: Bone Remodeling (Beginner), Bone Hardening (Beginner), Stealth (Beginner)

[Status]: Can Evolve

Although he almost died at home from exhaustion, the gains were quite good. He not only raised his bloodline level to high-ranking servant, but also learned another racial skill and increased his growth level by three levels.

However, the price is that the once tidy yard now looks like it has been ransacked by robbers.

It seems I need to equip Alpha with some specialized training equipment.

Zhuge Chen circled Alpha once, then clicked his tongue and said, "Modifying skeleton soldiers with mechanical weapons, what do you think Professor Chu would think if he knew?"

Bai Qi waved his hand dismissively and said, "I call this applying what I've learned. No one says that students from the Mecha Weapons Department can't install things on other pets."

The Mechanical Weapon Design major, also known as the Mechanical Pet Armament Design major, is one of the signature majors of the Star Machinery Academy.

"Um...that seems to be true."

Zhuge Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, and found himself unable to refute Bai Qi's statement.

Although there haven't been any cases of mechanical weapons being paired with non-mechanical pets yet, some auxiliary mechanical items are quite common on pet-type pets. As for adding weapons, there doesn't seem to be any explicit rule against it.

"So you're planning to raise this—uh, Alpha—as a mechanical pet? I remember that the energy of traditional pets and mechanical pets isn't interchangeable."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, it's just a temporary measure."

The strength of mechanical-type pets lies in their ability to equip various weapons and energy sources. As long as resources and technology are in place, they can be strengthened without limit, within the range that the beast tamer's mental strength can withstand.

Alpha's current weapons are merely external attachments, requiring additional energy supplies.

Unless Bai Qi can research a technology that allows traditional pets and mechanical weapons to share or convert energy values, it can only be used now.

Of course, the most important reason is still not having money.

Mechanical-type pets, as a newly emerging pet system for humans, are powerful and have given the Federation the means to contend with the Beast Kingdom, but they are not something that everyone can afford to play with.

Moreover, with the Evolutionary Egg in hand, there's no need for him to dwell on this for the time being.

There's nothing that evolution can't solve; if there is, then just evolve a few more times.

"Alright, I should head back now. I was thinking of having you get your prosthetic limb installed, but let's do that after you've rested a bit."

Zhuge Chen lingered for a while before preparing to leave, and Bai Qi then remembered that he had been so focused on researching the cheat system yesterday that he had forgotten about it.

"It's alright, I'll go with you now."

Bai Qi put Alpha into his pet space and pulled Zhuge Chen outside.

"By the way, do you have any other rather unusual pets like Alpha?"

It's signed! Please give it your support!
