Chapter 12: It's Science
Soon, Alpha returned to Bai Qi with a handful of screaming mushrooms. A pair of soul fires kept flickering, and Bai Qi also patted Alpha on the head with a smile.
"Good job."
Gala Gala.
With Bai Qi's approval, Alpha was also quite happy, jumping around happily in place.
"Bai Qi, is your pet really a ghost bone spur of the undead type?"
Gao Cheng walked up to Bai Qi, glanced at the metallic luster on Alpha's body, and asked with some doubts: "Shouldn't this kind of movement be done by the skeleton beast?"
"And the color of this bone..."
Bai Qi nodded and said: "Alpha is indeed a ghost bone spur, but it has mutated before it evolved, so the speed is so fast."
"Pre-evolution? Mutation?"
Gao Cheng grasped the key point of Bai Qi's words, and said, "You mean it was just a skeleton soldier when you contracted it? And now it has evolved?"
"Um... good luck, good luck."
Bai Qi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly added: "As for this color, I just painted it on by myself. After all, the original appearance is too scary."
It's not that Bai Qi is deliberately trying to deceive people, it's because the Egg of Evolution's ability is somewhat special, so it saves trouble.
Bai Qi's explanation did not convince a few people, but they couldn't find a better explanation at once, so they could only give it up for now.
"Forget it, let's complete the task first. The reward for this task is calculated on a per-unit basis. We should not waste time."
Gao Cheng glanced at the endless mushroom field in front of him, and said: "According to the situation just now, the density of screaming mushrooms here is not small."
Several people nodded, and then subconsciously glanced at the screaming mushroom in front of Bai Qi, and couldn't help flashing a hint of envy in their eyes.
In addition to the guaranteed minimum reward for this mission, you can also sell the screaming mushrooms to the staff here, each worth 50 federal coins.
In other words, according to Alpha's efficiency just now, as long as he wanders around for a while, he can earn back the money for going to the training ground once.
However, Bai Qi is happy, and the others are not so happy.
"Well, let's go to the other side to clean up. Senior Bai here should be enough."
Wu Lan, the only girl in the trio, took the lead in expressing her opinion, and his two companions also nodded in agreement.
If they were with Bai Qi, they had every reason to believe that they would return empty-handed from this mission.
"Alright, we'll meet up here in three hours."
Seeing the situation, Gao Gao is also pushing the boat along the way. After all, with such a large breeding land, it will be more efficient to act separately.
After confirming the time, the five of them dispersed separately.
"Alpha, let's set a small goal, catch 50 of him before noon."
Bai Qi said to Alpha beside him.
"Whether you can evolve quickly depends on your own performance!"
Gala Gala.
(evolve, evolve!)
Alpha nodded to express his understanding, thinking of the pleasure of quickly improving his strength in the Black Iron Egg, he turned into an afterimage and rushed out directly.
The Screaming Mushroom mission is easier than he thought, but he doesn't know how long this mission can last, otherwise Bai Qi is confident that he will earn a small goal first.
Time passed extremely quickly, and three hours passed quickly.
The density of screaming mushrooms far exceeds Bai Qi's estimate, and Alpha's record is 68.
If it weren't for worrying about destroying the original mushroom planting area, Alpha's efficiency might be even higher.
After all, the biggest advantage of the undead clan is that they don't need to rest.
Soon, the other four returned one after another. Gao Cheng was better, but Wu Lan and the other three were obviously in a bad state.
Alpha's method of cleaning up the screaming mushrooms inspired a few people, and he also planned to interrupt the screaming mushrooms before they cast their skills.
But reality is better than people. Although this idea is good, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes when it is implemented. After three hours, all three of them were confused by the screaming mushroom.
"Senior Bai, are you still arresting?"
Seeing that Alpha is still galloping in the field. Wu Lan and the others couldn't help being a little surprised.
"Well, Alpha is an undead family, so he doesn't need to rest."
Bai Qi nodded, looked at the exhausted people, and said, "Are you all finished?"
Wu Lan and the others smiled awkwardly, Gao Cheng was also a little speechless, and said: "It's been three hours, even if the beast master isn't tiring, you should be tired."
Bai Qi suddenly realized when he heard the words, and only then remembered that he had just eaten a compressed grain pill before going out in the morning, and he was not hungry yet.
Gao Cheng glanced at the box at Bai Qi's feet, and asked curiously, "How much have you cleaned?"
"So-so, only 68."
Bai Qi smacked his mouth and said, "The density of scream mushrooms is lower than I thought. By the way, how did you harvest?"
"Eh, the task is barely completed."
Wu Lan and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, not intending to continue discussing this topic with Bai Qi at all.
"Forget it, let's eat first. I just saw that the staff has prepared lunch, and it should be delivered soon."
Still Gao Cheng appeared to smooth things over, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the food, and they didn't notice the box that Gao Cheng secretly kicked behind him.
High-level fire armored scorpion attack speed is not slow, and after borrowing Alpha's tactics, the efficiency has also improved a lot. 22 screaming mushrooms were cleared in three hours.
I just didn't expect that Bai Qi and Alpha would go crazy, and there were as many as 68 trees. This made him a senior who had participated in three professional beast master assessments.
Soon, the staff brought boxed lunches to several people, and at the same time began to collect the screaming mushrooms. The five Bai Qi each received a boxed lunch and started to eat.
After working all morning, their physical strength is also exhausted. Naturally, they need to replenish it. After all, they have to work longer in the afternoon.
During the meal time, several people started chatting again.
"Senior Bai, since you are a student of the Mechanics and Martial Arts College, why didn't the main pet choose the Mechanics Department of Beasts?"
Wu Lan has held back this question for a long time, and now that she has the opportunity, she directly asks it.
"I awakened my talent late, and I happened to meet a mutant like Alpha, so I just made a contract."
Bai Qi settled a box lunch three times, five times and two times, but still felt a little unfulfilled, so he asked the staff to get another one.
I don't know if it's because of eating compressed grain pills for two days, but Bai Qi felt that his appetite increased greatly, and he didn't feel full even after eating two servings.
"So it is."
Wu Lan nodded, carefully looked at Alpha standing obediently behind Bai Qi, and soon noticed the abnormality in Alpha's joints.
"Huh? Senior, why don't these look like normal joints?"
Wu Lan's words also attracted the attention of several other people, and they all came together, all a little curious.
"What are you talking about, that's right, Alpha's speed is too fast, and the joints are too fragile, so I changed it to a mechanical one."
The four were silent when they heard the words.
No wonder Alpha can make such weird movements, it turns out that it has been transformed.
Students of the Mechanics and Military Academy install mechanical joints on their beasts.
Well, that's pretty scientific.
