Chapter 119: Chapter 118: Infinite Resistance Stacking?
Translator: 549690339
With Head Instructor Leng Feifei absent, the students no longer had any restrictions and quickly returned to the assembly hall, much more relaxed on the return trip.
However, seeing that Leng Feifei had not taken away the Secret Realm Gate, they guessed they would be visiting here often in the upcoming half-year.
Thinking about this, the Beast Masters scattered to prepare for the training the next day.
Although they didn’t know what kind of training would be waiting for them, they had to ensure they passed the first two tasks, or their participation in this training camp would be absolutely pointless.
None of these things mattered to Bai Qi. After leaving the training secret space, he went back to his room, and then entered his own secret space.
“Alpha, call Ice Bone and the others over.”
As soon as Bai Qi entered the secret space, he had Alpha find the hard-at-work skeleton soldiers and then wake up the slimes, who were sound asleep after a satisfying meal.
“Can you absorb their energy?”
Ka-pu Ka-pu?
A question mark appeared above the slime’s head; it clearly didn’t understand
Bai Qi’s intent.
“Tsk, not having a contract is really troublesome.”
Bai Qi reluctantly had to bring out Beta as a translator again.
Woof woof!
(The human wants you to eat that skeleton.)
Ka-pu?
(Is it tasty?)
Woof woof!
(It’s tasty!)
After serial communication, the slime finally understood Bai Qi’s intention, its body swiftly ballooning to envelop one Ice Bone soldier.
Then, the cold aura of the Ice Bone began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye until it disappeared completely. Due to the rapid energy loss, the Ice Bone lost its balance and collapsed.
The Ice Bone was just a mid-level servant with low rank and pitifully low energy value. It simply couldn’t withstand the energy absorption ability of the slime.
“This absorption speed seems faster than I thought.
Bai Qi saw this and nodded, then signaled Alpha to pull the slime off the Ice
Bone.
He was counting on these free workers for the secret space transformation, so he couldn’t let the slime drain them too much.
Bai Qi carefully placed his hand on the slime to sense its condition but didn’t find any cold resistance on it.
“There’s no sign of frozen resistance. Is the Ice Bone too weak, or does developing resistances require some sort of opportunity?”
Bai Qi paused, then said, “Alpha, create an ice crystal barrier, remember to control the intensity.”
Ever since the Dark Department Power and Frost Power combined into Withering Power, Alpha lost the ability to control ice and frost directly and could only control it indirectly through the ice crystal barrier.
Crrrack.
(Master, are you sure you want to do this? I’m afraid it might get hurt.)
Alpha could tell Bai Qi attached great importance to the slime, so it hesitated.
“It’s okay, it can handle Blast Power without dying.”
Upon hearing this, Alpha nodded, then carefully conjured up a palm-sized Ice
Crystal Barrier and sent it in front of the slime.
Ka-pu Ka-pu?
(Food?)
The slime circled the Ice Crystal Barrier a few times, then swallowed it in one gulp.
As expected, even though Alpha deliberately weakened the energy on the Ice Crystal Barrier, the slime’s current rank couldn’t quite handle it.
The moment the slime swallowed the Ice Crystal Barrier, it froze instantly.
Cracks appeared on the jade-like surface of its body, as if it were going to shatter at any moment.
“Damn, I broke it!”
Seeing the condition of the slime, Bai Qi immediately wanted Beta to help thaw
- Just then, the frost on the surface of the slime suddenly shattered, and the slime crawled out from inside, safe and sound.
Ka-pu Ka-pu
“It’s delicious, I want more!”
The slime seemed to have fallen in love with the taste of the Ice Crystal Barrier.
It jumped onto Alpha and refused to leave.
Awoo…
(I’m… relieved…)
Seeing this, Beta’s eyes teared up. The once extinguished heart of art in him revived.
Seeing that the slime hadn’t been injured, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, placing his hand on it and began checking its status.
[Name]: Slime
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutations)
[Growth Level]: Zero Stage Nine Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Servants
[Racial Skills]: Energy Absorption, Mimicry, Corrosion, Toxin Resistance, Blazing Resistance, Radiation Resistance, Current Resistance, Frost Resistance
[Energy Value): 3000
[Condition]: Evolvable
“So it was because the Ice Bone was too weak.”
Seeing the frost resistance appear on the slime, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Judging from the current results, as long as the slime absorbs enough attribute energy of sufficient strength and doesn’t die, it can develop corresponding resistances.
Looking at the current situation, if resistances can be stacked indefinitely, provided enough resources and time, perhaps the slime could become the first pet beast in Federation history to have full resistances.
“I’m not worried about magic resistance anymore, I wonder how its physical resistance will stack up.”
Bai Qi looked at the slime wandering around Alpha, trying to eat the crystals on its body then immediately started the next test.
However, the result did not surprise Bai Qi.
Seeing the slime on the ground, shattered into countless pieces by Alpha’s light tap, Bai Qi was, despite his disappointment, unsurprised.
“I must be too greedy to want a slime monster to have both magic and physical resistance talents,” Bai Qi mocked himself, but then a confident smile quickly appeared on his face.
Having natural dual resistance was unrealistic, but it seemed possible to cultivate these traits later on.
“Let’s get more materials first.”
Having preliminary confirmation of the potential for a slime monster to have full magic resistance, Bai Qi didn’t delay any further. He left the secret realm, logged directly onto the association website, and started shopping.
Fire Armor Shell, Thunder Soil, Bone-swallowing Wood…
Bai Qi bought all sorts of strange attribute materials, the very picture of a spendthrift.
Because he was at the association’s headquarters, Bai Qi’s orders were delivered to him quickly after being placed.
“Hello, please sign for your order.”
The delivery man had a similar attire to Lu Qing, a one-piece robe. The only difference was the emblem on the chest.
Lu Qing had a book, while the delivery man had a big tree.
This delivery man was also a member of Six Tower.
“Thank you.”
Bai Qi nodded and was about to take the box from the delivery man, but the man sidestepped him, saying, “Some items inside are easily breakable, I can handle it.”
The delivery man carefully placed the box into Bai Qi’s room, then handed him a sheet of paper, saying, “This is a detail of precautions for these items, please be careful.”
Bai Qi took the paper given by the delivery man, gave it a quick glance, and was somewhat surprised.
Fire Armor Shell, handle with care as it can produce high temperature and burn the skin if shattered.
Thunder Soil, mild in nature, but shouldn’t be mixed with water and fire attribute materials, as it may trigger thunderstorms.
Bone-swallowing Wood, highly corrosive, recommended to wear gloves when handling. Direct contact with the sap can penetrate into the bones and cause osteomalacia.
The paper was filled with detailed precautions and handling methods for all the materials, far more detailed than the descriptions on the website. Bai Qi had reason to suspect that the delivery man had summarized them himself.
“If there is nothing else, I’ll go. There are still many orders for me to deliver.”
Seeing Bai Qi reading attentively, the delivery man didn’t plan to stay any longer. However, Bai Qi stopped him just as he reached the door.
“Hello, did you summarize these all by yourself?”
The delivery man nodded and said, “You could say that. I deal with these things all day. I summarized these in my spare time.”
Bai Qi asked, “So, you tried them all yourself?”
A look of confusion came over the delivery man’s face as he countered, What else?”
Well, pretend I didn’t ask.
Feeling a bit aggrieved, Bai Qi nodded and asked, “You are also a member of Six Tower, right?”
The delivery man nodded and said, “I forgot to introduce myself, Yi Xiaowei, an apprentice of the Holy Relic Tower.”
“Bai Qi.”
Bai Qi shook hands with Yi Xiaowei, “You seem to be about my age, why haven’t I seen you at the group training?”
Shrugging, Yi Xiaowei replied, “I’m not good at fighting, so I don’t waste time on it. Dealing with materials is much more comfortable.”
Comfortable?
Are you sure the things you do are comfortable?
Looking at the dangerous situations Yi Xiaowei had summarized on the paper from his own experiments, Bai Qi couldn’t help licking his lips.
In ancient times, there was Shennong who sampled all kinds of plants, now there’s Yi Xiaowei testing all kinds of materials.
There really are so many brave people in this world!
“I still have orders to deliver, I can’t chat anymore. If you’re interested in this, you can come and find me at the Holy Relic Tower later.
After checking the time, Yi Xiaowei waved at Bai Qi and hurried away. “Holy Relic Tower… Yi Xiaowei… I really should go and check it out one day. Bai Qi watched Yi Xiaowei leave, then picked up the materials Yi Xiaowei had delivered and returned to the secret realm.
“Slime monster, come, let’s eat some soil and see the effect.
The next day.
The assembly hall.
Having had the experience of the first day, all the Beast Masters who were originally lightly armed were now fully equipped.
Some brought supplements, some brought cooking utensils, and some even brought a complete set of detoxification equipment.
“This… looks like everyone has been traumatized…”
Bai Qi, hands in his pockets, sauntered into the hall. Seeing the appearance of the other Beast Masters, he couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Fortunately, he had the secret space where he could stash everything, or he’d probably look the same.
“Bai Qi, where’s your slime monster? Let me play with it.”
Seeing Bai Qi arrive, Zhou Yan immediately ran over, eagerly asking Bai Qi for his slime monster.
“Um, the slime monster might be a little indisposed these days, why don’t you go and find Bai Qiucha instead?”
Bai Qi instantly pictured a slime monster spewing rainbow-colored bubbles and scratched his head awkwardly.Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates
After purchasing a large pile of materials, Bai Qi had been doing various tests on the slime monster. However, the slime monster digested these solid substances slowly. Despite this, it couldn’t resist the temptation of “delicious food”, resulting in an expected outcome.
It was overfed.
“Indisposed? Do slime monsters have genders?”
Squeak-
Just as Zhou Yan was puzzled, the door opened slowly with a screeching noise, and all the students immediately turned their gaze toward it.
The visitor was not Leng Feifei as they had expected, but Zhang Shan, who had received Bai Qi and the others when they arrived at Six Tower.
Zhang Shan glanced around the room and said, “I’m in charge of today s training task. The project is real-world combat!”
