Chapter 412: Chapter 408: The 108th Friendship Meeting in Eden


    The following day.


    Bai Qi rose from the bed, entirely rejuvenated. He nced at the six Rune Marks on the back of his hand and nodded in satisfaction.


    Originally, he had imagined an SSS Level Task would be a dangerously insane mission. He hadn’t expected the payoff would be this massive.


    His journey this time around was absolutely profitable.


    After stretching, Bai Qi extended his Spirit Power into the Beast Control Space.


    Over the course of one night, the fusion of the Beast Control Space with the ins, desert, and Ice Field secret realms had be tightly conjoined. He could clearly see the pets moving around their individual secret realms.


    “Once the task of ‘Longevity’ ispleted, it’s time to start gathering secret realms.”


    Bai Qi nodded slightly, considering contacting Luo Xiang to help find suitable secret realms.


    “Oh, right. I almost forgot about Nichs.”


    Thinking about the secret realms, Bai Qi recalled what he’d neglected, and hurriedly entered the Green Dragon Secret Realm to find Nichs.<div>


    He had been too busy with the trials the previous day and had forgotten about his bodyguard, Nichs. If Nichs discovered Bai Qi had forgotten to call him for a feast, Bai Qi was bound to be scolded.


    However, Bai Qi still underestimated theziness of the Dragon race.


    “Huh? Bai Qi, why are you here? Have we already arrived?”


    Nichs rubbed his groggy eyes, looking at the helpless Bai Qi standing in front of him, and asked.


    “Kind of. I came to get you for breakfast.”


    Bai Qi twitched the corner of his eye. Thankfully, there was no crisis. Otherwise, even with this creature’s reaction, ten legendary creatures wouldn’t have been able to protect him.


    “Breakfast? No need, it’s so peaceful here that this dragon wants to sleep.”


    Nichs yawned, apparently disinterested in breakfast.


    “I see…then I guess I’ll go eat by myself.”


    Seeing Nichs’ attitude, Bai Qi didn’t persist. They were currently in Eden; theoretically, it was safe.


    Meanwhile, he wanted to try out the strengthening effect of the Diamond Egg.


    After leaving the Green Dragon Secret Realm, Bai Qi tidied up a bit and left his room. Just as he stepped out of his room, he felt something unusual under his foot and heard a miserable cry.


    “Human, please lift your foot…”


    The Cowskin Snake struggled to poke its head out from under Bai Qi’s foot. Its face was filled with a look of hardship as if it had weathered many hardships, leaving Bai Qi feeling perplexed.


    “Cowskin Snake, why are you lying here?”


    Bai Qi lifted his foot, picked up the Cowskin Snake, and shook it to make sure it was still alive. Then he asked curiously.


    “I was going to ask you the same thing. You just left me behind…”


    The Cowskin Snake strained to raise its head, looked at Bai Qi who lookedpletely refreshed after a good night’s sleep, and its eyes were filled with destion.


    “You really didn’t notice you forgot me there, did you?”<div>


    “That’s impossible. I have an exceptional memory. I’ve never left anything important undone.”


    Bai Qi categorically denied Cowskin Snake’s ims and said, “You look so tired, you must not have slept wellst night. Go and join Nichs for a good sleep.”


    Having said that, Bai Qi didn’t wait for Cowskin Snake’s response before throwing it directly into the Green Dragon Secret Realm.


    Subsequently, a green figure appeared before Bai Qi.<div>


    “Bai…Bai Qi, hurry and take this stinky snake off of me!”


    Nichs’ face showed no signs of sleepiness. He pointed pitifully at the Cowskin Snake hanging from his neck, looking like he had been startled.


    “Oh, Nichs, you’re awake too? That’s great, let’s have breakfast together.”


    Seeing this, Bai Qi shrugged and summoned the other five pets, going to the dining hall with arge crowd.


    As for where the dining hall is?


    With Beta around, all they had to do was look for the most fragrant ce.


    …


    “Bai Qi, you’re up? Don’t you need to rest a little more?”


    Halfway there, Bai Qi ran into Yi Yu and Li Xusheng, who were returning from outside. He didn’t notice the five members of Zero Team, probably back at their home away from home.


    “I’m hungry, so I got up to find food.”


    Bai Qi replied.


    “Perfect, let’s go together. After eating, I’ll take you for a walk through Eden.”


    Yi Yuughed and asked, “This should be the legendary creature sent by the association to protect you, right?”<div>


    Bai Qi nodded and responded, “Yes, I was busy with the trialsst night, so I didn’t let hime out.”


    Understanding, Yi Yu responded, “That’s good. With him around, you’ll have fewer difficulties. After all, quite a few transcendent creatures in Eden are interested in you nowadays.”


    Bai Qi paused at Yi Yu’s words, the scene right after the Life Trialst night shed in his mind.


    “Minister Yi, Eden won’t suppress neers, right? If that’s the case, I should get out of here.”


    “Don’t worry, Eden hasn’t sunk that low. Besides, this can be a good thing for you.”


    Yi Yu shook his head and advised, “Let’s have breakfast first. After yesterday’s continuous five battles, I guess you must be quite drained.”


    Bai Qi nodded and followed Yi Yu towards the dining hall.


    “I couldn’t help you in thest trial, so I still owe you a favor.”


    At Li Xusheng’s sudden remark, Bai Qi was taken aback. He was about to refuse when several blood beasts suddenly sprang up beside him, grabbed Li Xusheng, and started to move away.


    “Finally found you, little Xusheng, you should have visited your grandparents, you’ve lost weight. Come, grandma has made your favorite…”


    “Old woman, you always think about food. You should care about Xusheng’s love life. Xusheng, are you married? How old is your child? What’s his/her name?”


    “…”


    Watching Li Xusheng being dragged away by a group of blood beasts, Bai Qi couldn’t help but smack his lips.<div>


    Such a strong sense of déjà vu for the New Year…


    Bai Qi watched Li Xusheng leave with sympathy and continued to follow Yi Yu into the dining hall.


    Compared to the chaotic scenest night, the dining hall here was significantly more organized. As far as the eye could see, there were invited Beast Masters from variousrge families and their pet beasts.


    However, it seemed that there were many more people here thanst night.


    “Yesterday’s banquet was just the opening of the Eden event, so only the Thirteenth Bureau and a fewrge families were invited. The rest will arrive today.”


    Yi Yu began exining, “The breakfast here is very abundant, enjoy.”


    “Then, I won’t be polite.”


    Bai Qi nodded, found an empty seat, grabbed a bunch of food, and began to feast. The Husky and others alsofortably fetched a bunch of food to enjoy.


    “Bai Qi, can we eat anything here?”


    Nichs obviously wasn’tfortable with so many humans around, and seemed slightly restrained.


    “Eat as you like. You can learn some dishes to cook for Old Lady Fan.”


    “To cook for the boss?”


    Upon hearing this, Nichs’s eyes lit up immediately. He forgot about the existence of the humans around him, and even the Cowskin Snake in his neck. He solemnly began to taste the food here.<div>


    After discovering some satisfying dishes, Nichs directly took out a notebook and went to the kitchen to learn.


    “He’s really dedicated…”


    Seeing Nichs in such a mode, Bai Qi couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up. He continued to enjoy his breakfast until he was about seventy or eighty percent full.


    “Alpha, I’ll trial you first.”


    Crash.


    (No problem, boss.)


    Alpha, who didn’t need to eat, nodded and was the first to return to the Beast Control Space. Bai Qi immediately excitedly activated the Evolution Egg.


    Immediately, a Diamond Egg took shape instantly, enveloping Alpha. Simultaneously, a gentle glow rose from Alpha, gradually concealing him from view, making it impossible to see the situation inside the Diamond Egg.


    “It’s somewhat simr to the Evolution Light. It seems that there is indeed a connection between this Evolution Egg and the Evolution Light.”


    Bai Qi looked at the Diamond Egg thoughtfully, then suddenly felt dizzy and immediately took out a potion to replenish his spirit power.


    Compared to the tinum Eggs, the consumption of spirit power with the Diamond Egg seemed to be even greater for Bai Qi.


    Still, this was a good thing. The exhaustion of spirit power was very beneficial to its growth, so this elerated his leveling speed just a bit.


    However, the consumption was a little too much.


    Bai Qi touched his once again hollowed stomach, fetched more food, filled his stomach, and gave another pet beast an Evolution Egg in a repeating pattern.


    “Doesn’t this guy know where he is? He’s so unrestrained.”


    Lilith looked disdainfully at the Bai Qi who presented an uninhibited image and muttered quietly.


    Havinh lost to Bai Qi several times, Lilith finally recognized the gap between them. She still disliked Bai Qi., but she now only dared to secretly scoff behind his back.


    “In Eastern terms, this should be called acting naturally.”


    Dean was full of smiles, his gaze towards Bai Qi was extremely gentle. One couldn’t tell at all that he had been severely defeated by Bai Qi the night before.


    “Let’s go, we should attend to business.”


    Dean took a deep look at Bai Qi, then proceeded in another direction.


    “Burp … I’m finally full.”


    Bai Qi rubbed his bulging stomach, watching the five pets in the Beast Control Space all sleeping inside the Diamond Eggs, and let out a satisfied burp.


    After giving all five pets a Diamond Egg, even with the aid of potions for recovery, Bai Qi felt a bit overwhelmed, so he wisely discarded the idea of also giving a round to the Six Sword Servants.


    After all, the tinum Eggs he gave the Six Sword Servants to incubatest night would be enough for them for a while.


    “Bai Qi, are you done eating? Then let’s go. The Contract Convention should be starting soon.”


    Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be full, Yi Yu also put down his chopsticks.


    “Contract Convention?”


    Bai Qi was quite curious at Yi Yu’s words.


    “Yes, or to be more precise, this Contract Convention is the main reason for Eden’s annual event.”


    Yi Yu nodded and said, “As the dwelling ce of all the Federation’s Guardians, Eden is home to the Federation’s most powerful bloodlines. Even the offspring of the same species are much stronger than ordinary creatures, so every year, people from various forcese here to find powerful beasts for contracts.”


    “If you count the time, this should be the 108th Contract Convention hosted by Eden. Bai Qi, if you’re interested, you can consider participating.”
