Chapter 105: Chapter 104: That’s it?
Translator: 549690339
Lamentation of the Goddess of Light?
It sounded quite formidable!
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately dropped his contempt, gesturing for Alpha to be careful. Meanwhile, the Goddess Butterfly had already made its move. A series of radiant lights appeared on its pair of massive wings. The lights grew brighter and brighter until they transformed into a beam of light that shot directly towards Alpha.
The light beam was incredibly fast and wherever it passed, it was burned into nothingness by it. One could imagine what would happen when touched by it.
As the valedictorian of the provincial capital, Wu Yi’s strength was undoubtedly excellent. One of his winning proactive methods was this fast-acting, equally potent Lamentation of the Goddess of Light!
A mere Undead Department creature would basically meet its fate of purification once it was exposed to Lamentation Light.
Thinking about this, an image of a distraught Bai Qi appeared in Wu Yi’s mind, and he couldn’t help but chuckle a little.
“Watch out!”
Just then, Bai Qi suddenly shouted a warning from the opposite side. Before Wu Yi could react, he saw a bright light in front of him and instinctively turned his head to avoid it.
A bolt of white light flew past Wu Qi’s scalp. His well-groomed hairstyle was instantly cut off a large chunk. One could even directly see his scalp.
But Wu Yi didn’t care about his image at the moment. He was merely staring in amazement at the almost invisible crystal wall in front of Alpha.
“What is this thing?!”
Bai Qi shrugged, with no intention of explaining to Wu Yi.
Seeing Wu Yi’s previous stance, Bai Qi thought that Lamentation of the Goddess of Light would be terrifying. But it didn’t even break through the Ice Crystal Barrier, and it was reflected back instead.
Had the provincial capital deteriorated to this level? This intensity didn’t even exceed Gu Shan’s skill.
Perhaps detecting Bai Qi’s disdain, Wu Yi was somewhat irritated. He gave the Goddess Butterfly another command.
However, Bai Qi no longer wanted to waste any more time with Wu Yi. He gestured towards Alpha, and a vast dragonic aura burst forth from Alpha. The Goddess Butterfly’s half-released skill was interrupted, and it started to tremble on the spot.
In front of Alpha’s dragonic power mixed with attributes of Crystal Dragon and Undead System, the Goddess Butterfly, being of insect system, didn’t even think of counter-attacking, but instead directly fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight.
Was that it?
I hadn’t even exerted my power, and you’re already down?
The valedictorian of the provincial capital, was that your level?
“I don’t think there’s a need to compete anymore, right?”
Bai Qi dismissed Alpha and walked up to Wu Yi. Only then did Wu Yi react. Looking at the Goddess Butterfly, which had completely lost the ability to fight, he gritted his teeth and said, “I admit defeat.”
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Bai Qi’s face. He said, “Then I’ll trouble the valedictorian Wu to arrange my Catastrophe-level Energy. There’s no need for you to deliver it, I’ll fetch it myself.”
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Wu Yi’s face became even more unsightly, but his face suddenly lit up as he had an idea. He stood up and said, “Okay, I will arrange it for you right away!”
Having said that, Wu Yi immediately ran towards the outside, showing no signs of dragging his feet.
“Wow, he’s so generous. Losing millions of Federal Coins without batting an eyelid. Now that’s what I call wealthy!”
Seeing how straightforward Wu Yi was, Bai Qi was even more convinced that money was a good thing. He followed after Wu Yi.
Due to the size of the energy system, the Energy Area occupied an entire floor, and something like the Catastrophe-level Energy even had its own storage room.
After all, there were certain risks associated with the energy system. If they were piled up together carelessly, it could easily lead to explosion.
“Here, this one just arrived today. It’s brand new and unopened. I’ll give it to you.”
Wu Yi pointed at a massive circular energy system in front of him with a diameter of around ten meters and said, “But are you sure you don’t need me to arrange for people to send it to your house?”
“No need to go through that trouble. I will just take it directly.”
After a brief inspection by Bai Qi and confirming that it was indeed a genuine product, he took out the Secret Realm Ring and put it into the Secret Realm.
A Secret Realm Ring?
Hadn’t it been said that this guy was just an ordinary civilian without any significant background? How could he have such an invaluable item?
Wu Yi suddenly left in a tense mood, wanting to say something but eventually saying nothing.
“Phew, it’s the first-time I’m receiving something so big, I’m a bit overwhelmed.”
After confirming that the Catastrophe-level Energy was successfully put in the Secret Realm, Bai Qi felt a bit dizzy. He quickly took out a bottle of God’s Water and took a few sips. After that, he waved at Wu Yi and said, “Thanks a lot for your help this time. I still want to continue shopping around. I’ll leave first.”
With the 10 million Federal Coins he had planned to use to buy the energy system saved, Bai Qi was naturally going to go on a good shopping spree. There were still many things in Jiuding Mall that he couldn’t buy from the Association.
“Mr. Wu, wasn’t that Catastrophe Series Energy system returned? Will this…”
Seeing Bai Qi leaving, an employee couldn’t help but speak up but he was immediately shut up by Wu Yi.
“So much nonsense. It was originally supposed to be destroyed. You’d better act as if you don’t know anything.”
“Oh…”
The employee lowered his head in disappointment and didn’t say another word.
Finding a good job isn’t easy, he better not meddle in others’ affairs.
In the Secret Realm.
Having picked up a Catastrophe-level Energy, Bai Qi was in a great mood. He splurged in Jiuding Mall. If it weren’t for his balance running out again, Bai Qi might have continued to shop for a while longer.
“These materials should be enough for now. Next, it’s off to training camp, I shouldn’t need any more stuff.”
Looking at the pile of materials in front of him, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. He then called Husky and together they went to the Catastrophe-level Energy.
“Wow… a Catastrophe-level energy system that can provide a year’s worth of energy for a small city’s shelter. This really is a strategic energy system! We’ve really hit the jackpot this time!”
Bai Qi, his grin wide, said, “Schuck, let’s activate it first and see, then we can plan out our next steps.”
“No problem.”
Schuck was just as excited. With access to such an energy system, he would be able to delve into mechanical manuals that had been beyond his reach.
Having in his possession up to the sixth stage of mechanical manuals, Schuck activated the energy system after some exploratory touching. A breathtaking glow of energy instantly illuminated the Secret Realm, leaving Bai Qi dumbstruck.
“Despite the protective layer, there’s such a strong sense of intimidation. If it exploded… I don’t think anyone would survive.”
In this moment, Bai Qi finally understood why the energy systems of Ark Level and above were treated as strategic resources.
Leaving everything else aside, the damage caused by a single explosion from this energy system was far beyond what a ferocious beast could create.
“I’ll have to leave Old Qin a message about this, so no one gets the idea we’re terrorists.”
Bai Qi smacked his lips, deciding to connect a device and test the effects.
Just then, the once radiant energy system flickered before gradually dimming and eventually shutting down completely.
“Schuck, did you turn off the power?”
Shaking his head, Schuck replied, “No, I was investigating how the energy works.”
“Then is it possible that Beta touched it?!”
An ominous thought crossed Bai Qi’s mind, and instinctively, he planned to leave the Secret Realm.
Given Beta’s hidden unstable explosive talent, if it had touched the energy system…
At that thought, Bai Qi quit considering the materials he still hadn’t heated up and planned to scoot with his twin pets.
Woof woof woof!
(Human, you can doubt me, but never challenge my dog pride!)
Beta glared at Bai Qi with a look of defiance. Bai Qi rolled his eyes and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s a relief, but he would need to warn Schuck to be more careful in the future. If there were any explosions, this Secret Realm would be wasted.
“Did it malfunction for no reason, or did Wu Yi give me a defective product?”
Recalling Wu Yi’s previous strange behavior, Bai Qi quickly came to his senses.
Wu Yi’s change in attitude from before had slipped right past him due to his intensive study of runes. Now it seemed he had been fooled.
However, Bai Qi had no plans to bother Wu Yi about it.
After all, he had received the system for free, and the sheer mass of the thing was worth a lot if sold by weight.
From a certain point of view, he didn’t lose out.
“Schuck, first check and see what the problem is. If it can be fixed, we should do so.”
Schuck nodded and one man and his dog began checking the Catastrophe Energy System.
A Catastrophe-level energy system isn’t ordinary machinery, so this was Bai Qi’s first time seeing one. While Schuck had the mechanical manual, it didn’t include Catastrophe-level energy systems.
So, one man and his dog decided to use this opportunity to thoroughly research this large-scale energy system.
After a long while…
One man and his dog collapsed on the ground, looking helplessly at the energy system that remained motionless.
They had combed through every part of the energy system that could be dismantled and inspected, but found no issues.
On the contrary, the energy system seemed perfectly normal.
“So, there might be some problem on the inside?”
Hearing this, Schuck nodded, saying, “I think so, but we don’t have the ability to dismantle the internal core, and it’s too dangerous.”
The core of the Catastrophe-level energy is extremely dangerous, so it is securely sealed within the most central part of the system.
Apart from the manufacturer who produced this energy system, no one else can take it apart.
Do you want to try to forcefully break it?
Okay, make sure to purchase a large amount of insurance beforehand.
“Forget it, leave it for now. Some other day, I’ll ask Professor Chu if he can fix it.”
Bai Qi stood up helplessly, ready to seek other solutions.
Woof woof woof!
Just as Bai Qi was preparing to leave due to the uneventful situation, Beta, who was a bit bored due to Bai Qi’s restrictions, suddenly sniffed the air. Then, taking control from Schuck, he began sniffing around the Catastrophe Energy System.
Had he detected something?
Seeing this, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. He closely watched every move Beta made, and when Beta stopped, he was on edge.
Not because Beta found something, but because the dog was starting to accumulate Blast Power in his claws.
“You stupid dog! Are you trying to kill us both?!”
Sighting Beta’s move, Bai Qi was about to use his bond to forcefully recall Beta back. Suddenly, a green figure emerged from the energy system and attached itself to Beta’s claw.
Looking at the green jelly like substance on Husky’s paw, Bai Qi was dumbfounded.
What… was it?
