Chapter 67 A Happy Ending
The deal was struck, and Yi Yu immediately stored the rune puppet in a ring.
"President Qin, things here are settled, I'll head back now."
"Okay, then I won't see you off."
Yi Yu nodded, glanced around, and the members of the Thirteenth Bureau who were hiding nearby immediately appeared, summoned a flying mechanical beast, and began packing up to leave.
"The legendary material has been approved by the higher-ups, and it should be delivered to you in a couple of days."
"This transaction was very pleasant, and I hope to have the opportunity to trade with you one-on-one again in the future."
Seeing Yi Yu leave in a hurry, Chairman Qin, out of curiosity, also approached Bai Qi and asked, "Why did you hand over that puppet so readily? Or were you hiding something?"
"President, you're questioning my character!"
Bai Qi's expression turned serious. He said, "That puppet really was my reward for clearing the ninth level!"
It's just not all of them.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the Rubik's Cube was obtained before completing the game, so it couldn't be considered a reward for completing the game.
"Tsk, then why is that guy so concerned about that puppet? Could it be that the Thirteenth Bureau has some special intelligence?"
President Qin seemed to be deep in thought, and Bai Qi then revealed all the information he knew.
After failing to solve the puzzle using the Rubik's Cube, Bai Qi set his sights on the puppet.
The rune golem was not complicated in its construction; for Bai Qi, a mecha student, it was almost an introductory level task, and it was repaired quickly.
The only thing that stumped Bai Qi was the missing runes on the rune puppet, but Bai Qi found them all on the Rubik's Cube and successfully repaired them with the help of the carving knife and rune glasses he had obtained earlier.
After repairing the puppet, Bai Qi also learned the purpose of this secret realm tower, which was simply used to cultivate and train young people's knowledge of runes.
As for the puppet, it was just a practice sample.
"I see. Rune puppets were indeed very popular during the reign of the French Emperor."
President Qin suddenly realized what was going on, and then asked, "What about the cores of those two secret realm towers? Did you obtain them?"
Bai Qi nodded, took out a red and blue ring and handed it to President Qin, saying, "This should be it, but I can't get in now, so it's a bit of a waste."
The Tower of Lamentation can only be entered by first-tier Beastmasters, so Bai Qi cannot enter. The Tower of Gratitude has a memory function, allowing entry only to the last floor you cleared, and since Bai Qi has already cleared it, he cannot go anywhere.
Bai Qi originally thought that he would gain control of a secret realm after clearing the level, but he did not expect it to turn out like this.
"This is what a trial-type dungeon looks like. If you don't mind that exchanging two for one is a bit of a loss, I can apply for a support dungeon tower for you."
"It's not a loss, it's not a loss."
Bai Qi was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Chairman Qin's suggestion.
With the level of both pets increasing, especially with the existence of a certain explosive genius, Bai Qi's house has begun to be unable to withstand the destruction caused by these two.
I had originally hoped to get a separate secret realm after clearing the Twin Towers, but I was wrong.
"Alright, the matter of the Secret Realm Tower is now over. You should focus on training your pet beast and leveling it up. Once you pass the professional assessment, I'll take you for a stroll around the headquarters."
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and, seeing Bai Qiucha staring intently at him, said, "I almost forgot, let me introduce you to Bai Qiucha, the son of the legendary Minghuang."
"It's an honor to meet you. I am Bai Qi."
Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this, and then he grabbed Bai Qiucha's hand and shook it vigorously.
More than a month ago, the media in Gusu City reported extensively on the news that Bai Qiucha was coming to settle in Gusu City, and it was truly a case of "I have long admired you."
He never expected Bai Qiucha to look like such a cute boy, coupled with the huge skeletal dragon behind him, it was a perfect example of unexpected cuteness.
Tsk... If those paparazzi were to take pictures of this, the female fans in Gusu City would absolutely go crazy.
"Hello there."
Bai Qiucha withdrew her hand and asked, "How did you clear that tower?"
Good grief, are all legendary characters this direct? Asking for a strategy guide right off the bat?
However, since I've already cleared the game, there's no harm in telling him.
"Did you go to college?"
Bai Qiucha frowned and said, "I'm preparing to go to Star Machinery Academy for my freshman year. Does that have anything to do with it?"
"Then I suggest you choose the rune system; it should help you clear the game."
Bai Qiucha seemed to understand and said, "I understand, thank you."
Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see Bai Qiucha being so polite.
Shouldn't these scions of noble families all be as arrogant as Xia Xuan?
"The Bai family is an old and established family in our Beast Tamer Association. They have very strict family discipline, which is incomparable to those nouveau riche families."
President Qin chuckled and said, "You young people must have a lot to talk about. Qiu Cha, I have some things to attend to, so I'll trouble you to take Bai Qi back."
"Yes, Chairman."
Bai Qiucha nodded, leaped onto the bone dragon, and said to Bai Qi, "Come on up."
"That's troublesome."
Bai Qi cautiously walked to the bone dragon's side, and the moment he touched it, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
[Name]: Evolution Egg (Bronze Egg 65%)
Status: Activated
It increased by forty percent in an instant. The bloodline level of this skull dragon must be at least at the monarch level, no, it might even be at the emperor level!
The second generation of legends is awesome!
But how come this guy wasn't attacked by his pet? Such a powerful pet should be too much for a low-level beast tamer to handle.
Filled with envy and doubt, Bai Qi finally climbed onto the back of the bone dragon, and the bone dragon immediately flapped its wings and carried Bai Qi away quickly.
After the two left, President Qin took out the Twin Towers ring and examined it carefully.
It is indeed a combination-type secret realm, but it only has two levels and both are trial-type. It shouldn't be worth the Thirteenth Bureau spending such a high price.
President Qin was puzzled, glanced at the Tower of Lamentation in front of him, and then disappeared from the spot.
……
On the plane of the Thirteenth Bureau.
Looking at the rune puppet beside Yi Yu, Li Xusheng finally couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Minister, the bureau spent such a huge sum just for this one puppet?"
Yi Yu smiled and nodded, then asked in return, "What, you think it's not worth it?"
Li Xusheng remained silent, but his expression spoke volumes.
"This puppet alone is not worth it, but with this, it's enough."
Yi Yu took out the key he had obtained earlier, and a rune on the puppet's forehead immediately changed, revealing a keyhole-like shape.
"How could something from the French imperial era not have a backup plan?"
