Chapter 83
The Fountain of the Soul
Chapter 83 The Fountain of the Soul
Seeing Chairman Qin and Bai Qi, these two foxes, one big and one small, Cui Ming was too lazy to stay there any longer and turned to leave the main cabin.
Because of Bai Qi's disruption, the Danggu Mountain examination venue can no longer be used for the time being, and he needs to arrange another examination venue first.
By the way, arrange for Bai Qi to enter the Fountain of the Soul.
Seeing Cui Ming leave, Bai Qi finally couldn't help but ask, "The Fountain of the Soul? What's that?"
"What the hell?!"
President Qin glared at Bai Qi with annoyance and said, "It's only because that brat Cui Ming isn't here that I'd fight you to the death."
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and stopped talking, while Chairman Qin began to explain things to Bai Qi.
Do you know what type of pet is most famous in Lingxi City?
Bai Qi nodded. Lingxi City is famous for its psychic-type pets, and the psychic clay golem used in yesterday's theoretical exam was provided by Lingxi City.
"One of the reasons why Lingxi City has so many super-powered pets is because of the Fountain of the Mind. Some of the super-powered individuals in Lingxi City were even born because of this."
President Qin continued, "Usually, Cui Ming keeps a very tight grip on it. If he didn't covet our Twin Towers, he wouldn't have been willing to use it as a stake."
"The Fountain of the Mind can greatly enhance the mental power of pets and beast tamers. Although your two pets are not psychic, strengthening their mental power will still be quite beneficial."
"Although it's not as intuitive as energy levels, increasing your mental strength will improve the speed at which your pet releases skills and increases its proficiency."
Energy is like RAM, and mental energy is like the CPU. Got it?
"But most importantly, the Fountain of the Mind can quickly enhance a Beastmaster's mental strength and strengthen the Beastmaster's space."
President Qin patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, "So remember to seize the time to meditate well and try to maximize the effect so that you can become a third-tier cultivator as soon as possible."
"Although your improvement speed is already quite fast, it's still a bit lacking compared to those little monsters like Tepe."
"Guild Master, I've only been a Beast Tamer for two months. Aren't you overestimating me?"
Bai Qi was speechless. He had only recently become a second-tier cultivator, and this old man Qin was already eyeing the third tier. He was even more ruthless than Bai Qi.
Putting aside the issue of whether one's mental strength meets the standard, based on previous experience, it should be impossible to level up before the Evolution Egg reaches its maximum level.
Tsk, I was so focused on doing business during the practical assessment that I forgot to take the opportunity to pet some beasts.
Big loss.
Thinking that he had missed the opportunity to quickly upgrade the Evolution Egg, Bai Qi felt a pang of heartache.
President Qin said, "Alright, I still need to arrange the change of examination room. You rest here for a while, and Cui Ming will arrange for someone to take you to the Fountain of the Soul later."
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Qi nodded, and after President Qin left, a beast tamer led Bai Qi toward the rest room.
Throughout the journey, the beast tamer showed great interest in Bai Qi, glancing back at him from time to time with curiosity in his eyes.
"Um, is there something strange on my face?"
Bai Qi looked himself up and down, wondering what was wrong with him.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see what kind of person would be able to get the professional assessment to be reopened."
"Has this never happened before?"
The beast tamer shook his head and said, "I've been an examiner for professional assessments for quite a few years now, and I've encountered quite a few surprises, but someone like you is truly a first."
"I'm sure you'll be trending on social media tomorrow!"
Seeing the Beastmaster's gossipy expression, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Old Qin shouldn't betray me, right? If word gets out, all those guys I ripped off will recognize me.
Bai Qi is still unaware that his name has already spread among the candidates.
Of course, it's not a good reputation.
"Alright, this is your rest room. Someone from Lingxi City will probably come looking for you later, so don't fall asleep."
The practical assessment lasted from yesterday afternoon until the early hours of this morning. Many candidates worked through the night, and someone as capable of causing trouble as Bai Qi probably didn't have an easy time either.
"Uh, I'm alright."
Bai Qi scratched his head. He had entrusted the entire transaction to Alpha and Husky, and he slept well that night.
After seeing off the beast tamer, Bai Qi entered his rest room and then went directly into the secret realm space.
He wasn't involved in most of the subsequent transactions, so now that he's going to give them back, he naturally needs to sort things out properly.
"Wow, how come there's so much stuff!"
As soon as he entered the secret realm, Bai Qi was startled by the densely packed resources in front of him.
Wang Wang!
(Human, you've finally arrived! I'm exhausted.)
The husky, who was sorting the resources by type and attribute, immediately started complaining when Bai Qi appeared, while Alpha continued to silently carry some heavier ores.
As an undead creature that knows no fatigue, Alpha would definitely be a model worker in his previous life.
"Beta, do you have a materials list?"
The husky nodded, and a virtual screen was projected onto the electronic eye, displaying all of last night's gains in front of Bai Qi.
"Um, what should I do if I suddenly don't want to hand it in anymore..."
The thought of handing over such abundant resources made Bai Qi feel a pang of heartache.
"Forget it, let's think long-term. We can just have Beta dig out a couple more secret realms later."
Bai Qi sighed and said, "Beta, filter out the items we got from trading with others; we need to return them."
Huh?!
(Human, are you kidding me?!)
Bai Qi shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do. If you're not satisfied, you can go and fight Old Man Qin. If you win, it's yours."
Upon hearing this, the husky immediately wilted, looking at the piles of resources with tears in its eyes, its gaze filled with reluctance.
Seeing the husky in this state, Bai Qi also felt a pang of heartache.
Although the husky has a strong sense of perception, it can't search as fast as a group of students working together, and the variety of species it finds is noticeably limited.
If he hands all of that over, he'll only have so much left.
"By the way, I should be able to hand over something of equal value, right?"
Bai Qi's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea, and the husky understood immediately after hearing Bai Qi's words.
woof!woof!
(Human, you're almost half as clever as me!)
Bai Qi rolled his eyes, kicked the husky away, and said, "Get to work, I still need to upgrade you two later."
He originally wanted to find some mental-related materials to strengthen the husky's mental abilities, thereby improving its sensory skills.
He was so sleepy that someone delivered a perfect solution, saving him all the trouble.
