Old Rival?

Chapter 57 Old Rival?

President Qin clearly didn't want to talk about Yi Yu anymore, so he directly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, did you bring those two attribute stones with you? I happen to have some free time today, so I can help you figure out how to use them."

According to Luo Xiang, even if the Thirteenth Bureau team could not clear the next tower within three days, the same would be true for Bai Qi.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, we should try to improve Bai Qi's strength as much as possible.

"Um, I've already used one."

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, "I don't know how, but Beta evolved after touching the Blast Stone."

President Qin: "..."

"Are you sure your talent isn't accelerated evolution?"

Bai Qi shook his head repeatedly, and then ran out before Chairman Qin could react.

"President, I need to go back and organize some materials, so I won't chat any longer."

Watching Bai Qi run away like a rabbit, Chairman Qin silently withdrew his hand, suddenly feeling utterly exhausted.

Are pet evolutions this random these days?

Why is it different from when he trained me back then...?

……

Wang Wang Wang!

(Humans, something else has appeared!)

The husky, who was studying the mechanical encyclopedia with Bai Qi, suddenly raised its head and barked wildly in the direction of the Hill of the Dead.

"It's alright, they must have opened the next tower."

Bai Qi glanced at the time; it was exactly the last day that Gu Su City had exclusive rights to explore the Tower of Lamentation.

As expected of the Federation organization, they managed to crack the gate of the next tower in just one day.

Judging from this trend, I might only be able to drink soup in three days.

However, being able to exchange it for a legendary material and a fourth-tier mechanic's blueprint isn't a bad deal.

Moreover, he is now completely certain that the husky can sense the appearance of the Secret Realm Tower.

"If I have the chance in the future, I'll have to keep an eye out for mental materials. If I can get Beta to sense the emergence of the Secret Realm Tower in advance, that would be a huge win."

Bai Qi imagined the scene of the husky digging up the Secret Realm Tower everywhere in the future, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Huh?

(Human, are you stupid?)

The husky looked at Bai Qi with a puzzled expression. Bai Qi immediately punched the husky and said, "Stop looking around. Did you remember the tactics I told you?"

Wang!

(Who are you looking down on? And are we even discussing tactics here?)

The husky rolled its eyes, controlled a mechanical arm to grab a metal ball of different sizes and types from a row in front of it, and threw it toward the ice wall in front of it.

boom!

The metal shattered instantly, blasting a small crater into the ice wall.

"Ahem... A brass ball with a radius of 1 cm has an explosion radius of 3 cm. The effect is so-so."

Bai Qi glanced at the detector beside him and quickly recorded the data. Above this line of data, dozens of similar lines of data had already been recorded.

The Husky's Burst Enhancement skill can store explosive power in metal and then detonate it as needed. Although it doesn't look as intuitive as the Burst Claw, Bai Qi believes it has more potential for development.

Adding explosive power to a mechanical construct that already possesses explosive capabilities will result in a power greater than 2 from the sum of its parts.

What he needs to do now is to find the metal that has the highest compatibility with the explosive power.

"As expected, the K1 alloy has the highest energy storage capacity and is much more stable. It's a pity that the energy transmission speed is still a bit slow, but we'll have to make do with it for now."

After Alpha repaired the ice wall countless times, Bai Qi finally selected the metal with the highest overall attributes. He then opened the association's internal website and entered the mission area to take a look.

As a member of the Beast Tamer Association, Bai Qi was also allowed to post tasks on this internal website. In order to find the metal he wanted, Bai Qi tried posting a task on it.

"Is the poster planning to build a bomb? Hello, 110? I want to report this."

"Upstairs is a jerk, verdict complete."

+1.

"+2"

"+23333..."

……

"Did you come to the wrong place? This problem sounds like something only a mechanic would encounter."

"That's not necessarily true. We Fusion Talent users also need this metal to make weapons."

"Holy crap, a fusion talent! I bow down to the master!"

"I bow down to the great one!"

"Your Majesty... Oops, wrong show, sorry."

……

Why are there so many weird things on the association's internal forum?

Bai Qi was exasperated. He quickly skipped over the pointless answers and finally found the information he wanted in an inconspicuous corner.

Black Mountain Old Dog: "If you want to simultaneously guarantee energy storage, stability, and transmission speed, ordinary primary metals can't do it; you can only rely on alloys. If you're interested, you can try titanium-platinum alloys, which should meet your needs."

Titanium-platinum alloy? That sounds familiar...

Bai Qi thought for a moment, but couldn't recall where he had heard the name before, so he simply asked Black Mountain Old Dog directly.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Black Mountain Old Dog finally responded.

"Gusu City, 3rd Floor of Jiuding Mall".

Jiuding Mall?

A shopping mall under the Xia Group?

It's already built?

Upon seeing Black Mountain Old Dog's reply, Bai Qi finally remembered where he had heard the name titanium-platinum alloy before.

It seems Xia Xuan mentioned this once in Professor Chu's class? And they actually figured it out.

Bai Qi thanked the Black Mountain Dog, put the two pets into his Beast Taming Space, and headed straight for the Nine Cauldrons Mall.

……

"Tsk, as expected of a conglomerate backing it, this place is just different from the shopping district."

Bai Qi couldn't help but praise the towering mall in front of him, which resembled a giant cauldron. He was even more dazzled by the variety of items sold inside.

The Xia Group is a newly established conglomerate in the Federation, and it mainly deals in mechanical products. However, the prices are relatively high, making it unsuitable for a DS teenager like Bai Qi.

But now, he's finally freed from his servitude and can finally sing his praises.

Bai Qi would suppress his shopping urges and head straight for the shops on the third floor.

"Titanium-platinum alloy? I'm sorry, there's been a recent supply shortage of titanium-platinum alloy. If you need it, I can recommend some other alloys."

After hearing Bai Qi's purpose, the waiter on the third floor shook his head apologetically and began to recommend other alloys to Bai Qi.

"For example, this Taishan alloy is a similar alloy to titanium-platinum alloy, and its properties are only slightly different. You can consider it."

Bai Qi picked up the Taishan Alloy, tossed it around, and immediately ruled it out.

Huskies are too small, and this Taishan alloy is too heavy; if you put it on a husky, forget about moving quickly.

"Don't like it? No problem, we have more..."

The waiter then introduced Bai Qi to some different metals, but they were all common alloys, and Bai Qi lost interest after looking at them for a while.

Forget it, I'll just make do with K1 alloy for now.

Bai Qi wandered around but couldn't find the alloy he wanted. Just as he was about to leave, a tall, thin figure blocked his way.
