Chapter 498: Chapter Four Hundred Ny-Three: Snow Baby’s New Food


    Upon hearing Zhuge Xu’s words, Xia Ya fell silent.


    Indeed, this was a solution, butpared to a deal with the military, Zhuge Xu’s proposal would significantly reduce the transaction volume.


    The key issue was that if they coborated with the association, the main character in this transaction would switch from their Xia’s Group to the Super God Evolution Research Institute.


    Yet, if he refused, given the current progress of Xia’s Group’s research team, even if they managed toplete the research, it would likely take a long time to match the level of Jade Dream.


    On the other hand, Zhuge Xu, the proposer, seemed quite rxed.


    Xia Group had also considered the idea, but considering that yers might confuse reality and the game, he didn’t propose it.


    However, if it’s not treated as a regr training device, but an assessment device, the problem would be solved easily.


    Moreover, with this, they would have full control over the project.


    Who didn’t know that the Super God Evolution Research Institute and the Association were practically in cahoots?


    Master Bai Qi also figured out the subtleties, but his frown deepened.<div>


    To implement such operation, he would need to develop another system outside of Jade Dream to allow people to interact with the dreamscape.


    The premise of this technology is that he would have to create a server powerful enough to meet the demands – a Dreand World that rivals Jade Dream.


    “Quite tricky~”


    Master Bai Qi scratched his head with a throbbing headache, but he began figuring out the solution. At the same time, Xia Ya made his decision.


    “Then, on behalf of Xia’s Group, I agree to this proposal.”


    Xia Ya let out a heavy sigh, looked towards Zhuge Xu seriously, and said, “Xia’s Group will bear the full costs of this research project, but the rights to the research oues need to be given to Xia’s Group.”


    “No, Super God Evolution Research Institute can bear the research costs, and the research results can only belong to the institute.”


    “Then Xia’s Group can bear 50% of the costs, and we will pay the corresponding patent fees. However, we need exclusive production and operation rights.”


    “That’s eptable, but the data of all the results needs to be monitored by our Super God Evolution Research Institute. If there’s a breach of our earlier agreement, we reserve the right to rescind these two rights.”


    “Then, it’s a deal!”


    Both of them shook hands firmly, finalizing the transaction swiftly, and then turned their gaze towards Master Bai Qi.


    “Now, the question is when will Master Bai Qi be able toplete this technology?”


    Xia Ya looked at Master Bai Qi and said, “With Jade Dream already in existence, I assume that simr research wouldn’t face much difficulty?”


    “Sorry, but I can’t say for sure. After all, there’s arge difference between abat system and a leisure system, so I can’t guarantee when I couldplete it.”


    “Moreover, I don’t want to make changes to Jade Dream, so it might be necessary to start afresh.”


    Master Bai Qi shook his head, not making any promises lightly.


    “I see.”


    Xia Ya nodded slightly. Jade Dream’s main selling point was rxation and stress relief, and it was because of this it was loved by Federation Citizens.


    Having Master Bai Qi and his team smack their own faces for Xia’s Group indeed seemed a bit far-fetched.<div>


    “In this case, I’ll have to trouble the Super God Evolution Research Institute.”


    “That’s all for now. Xia’s Group will send over the specific contractter.”


    Xia Ya nodded, then turned to his brother Xia Xuan and said, “One more thing, a personal matter: my younger brother Xia Xuan admires the mechanical armament of the Super God Evolution Research Institute. Is there a chance he can study with Professor Chu?”


    “Study with Professor Chu?”<div>


    Master Bai Qi curiously looked at Xia Xuan, who turned away awkwardly.


    Working under the person who had once defeated him, was there anything more shameful than this?


    “I can’t make that decision, but I can help you ask.”


    After thinking about it, Master Bai Qi didn’t refuse.


    Xia Ya just said to study with Professor Chu, not to join the Super God Evolution Research Institute. Anyway, the core content is always researched by the trusted team, Xia Xuan could be left in the external team.


    They would dly take freebor where they could get it.


    “Thank you then.”


    Xia Ya smiled, stood up and said, “In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer. Master Bai Qi, please remember to visit Xia’s Group when you have spare time.”


    “Sure, I’ll definitely visit when I have some time.”


    Master Bai Qi nodded his head, saw Xia Ya and Xia Xuan off, and then returned to his office.


    “Master Bai Qi, you seemed a bit torn earlier. Is there a problem with the technology?”


    Zhuge Xu looked at Master Bai Qi with a serious face.


    He agreed so readily, even giving up the patent rights, because Jade Dream has already helped Master Bai Qi take over the core patents of this kind of technology for him.<div>


    Even if the patents were given to Xia’s Group, they still had to dutifully divide a portion of profit to pay Bai Qi. Plus, the profit from after-sales had already made them earn quite a lot from Xia’s Group.


    Moreover, the other party already agreed that the Super God Evolution Research Institute would not bear any loss if the research failed, which is equivalent to them getting funding for the research for free. They wouldn’t be at a loss no matter what.


    But if possible, Zhuge Xu still hoped that Master Bai Qi could work it out.


    In business, there were no permanent enemies. Plus, Xia’s Group has always coborated with them, so deeper ties weren’t a problem.


    “There’s a minor issue.”


    Bai Qi nodded, saying, “The Entering Dreams device is easy to solve, we just need to modify the Jade series. The key now is to find a server simr to Jade Dream.”


    “Hmm… Say something uncle can understand.”


    “To put it simply, Uncle, you need to find a Dreand Secret Realm first, only then can we carry on.”


    “Got it, I’ll have someone start gathering this immediately.”


    Zhuge Xu nodded, looking at Bai Qi who was frowning in contemtion, and said, “Bai Qi, you don’t need to worry, after all, even if we fail, we won’t have to bear the loss.”


    “But it would be best toplete it. If we can open this door, the Super God Evolution Research Institute will have more business, which is beneficial for our future development.”


    “Mm.”


    Bai Qi nodded, but his thoughts didn’t stop.<div>


    Why not let the worm grass be the server?


    With a Dream Weaver present, the issue of Dreand interaction can be easily solved, though it wouldn’t be able to spread elsewhere.


    What a hassle.


    Bai Qi scratched his head and temporarily set this issue aside.


    In any case, the official contract wasn’t signed yet and the Xia’s Group hadn’t specified apletion time, so there was no rush.


    “By the way, Uncle Zhuge, is Old Lady Fan still here?”


    Bai Qi looked at Zhuge Xu and asked.


    “She left the day before you came, said she had to go to the sea area and also took a set of game cabins with her.”


    Zhuge Xu smiled, saying, “Bai Qi, how did you trick so many legendary creatures, your skills are worthy of the Martial Emperor.”


    “Maybe because I’m handsome?”


    …


    The contract from Xia’s Group quickly arrived, along with the first batch of funds.


    Zhuge Xu wasn’t vague either, and quickly set up a special research team to start the research.<div>


    Although they hadn’t found the Dreand Secret Realm Bai Qi requested, the Dreand Interaction Device and the Combat Simtion System still needed to be researched earlier.


    After all, this was a realbat simted dreand. They couldn’t just teleport directly into it like the Jade Dream.


    As for the person responsible for delivering these things, Xia Xuan, he sessfully joined under Professor Chu and became an honorable worker.


    Key research project personnel, Bai Qi, was still immersed in his research.


    “This Soul-transferring Curse Mark is indeed much moreplex than the Soul Charm.”


    Bai Qi, looking haggard, grabbed his hair, which had already be messy and asked Yu, “Yu, how is the simtion going?”


    “Grandpa, in the three hundred and eighty simtions, none have been sessful.”


    Yu brutally added another blow, and Bai Qi simply copsed on the ground, no longer conducting research.


    “Alchemy… it’s not quite the same as the Rune.”


    After resting for a while, Bai Qi handed the analytical task to Yu and ran to the Time Secret Realm to check the status of his pets.


    Apart from Gamma, who also had an exclusive secret realm, and Schuck who was engrossed in tinkering with things, the other pets were driven by Bai Qi into the Time Secret Realm.


    It’s known that the lifespan of pets far exceeds that of humans and usually, as they age, the strength of the pets gradually increases.


    Although, apart from Delta, Alpha and the rest have no way to gain the insight of the Temporal Department, those extra six hours every day are indeed a great help for the pets’ growth.


    Every little bit helps, right?


    Even if you don’t mention this, using the Time Secret Realm to offset the consumption of Evolution Egg or training skills here is quite good.


    Bloop Bloop.


    (Master, you’re here.)


    Noticing Bai Qi’s approach, Delta was the first to run over.


    “How does it feel? Does this Time Secret Realm help you?”


    Bloop Bloop.


    (It’s very helpful. Delta’s time to travel back is getting longer, and the control of time stop is also getting more urate.)


    “That’s good.”


    Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily, then looked to the side.


    As always, Alpha was dutifully training basics with its seven swords, while Beta was meditating to enhance its Spirit Power under Jerry’s supervision. As for worm grass, it was in a dream processing the matters of the Jade Dream.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As for the Cowskin Snake, ever since Bai Qi obtained the Time Secret Realm, it has been in the same position as if it was hibernating?


    “Hm, what exactly is Jie Ta eating? Don’t tell me all the materials bought earlier ran out?”


    To help Jie Ta quickly enhance its strength, Bai Qi purchased a bunch of Ice n materials from Six Tower before leaving, and now it’s gone?


    Bloop Bloop.


    (Jie Ta finished eating a while ago, this is the Ice n potion from Super God Evolution Research Institute.)


    “Ice n potion, when did the Super God Evolution Research Institute start selling potions?”
