Chapter 86 - 85: The Split of the Dog Grid
Chapter 86 - 85: The Split of the Dog Grid
Little Ling Mountain.
Mind Spring.
Bai Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dazzling bronze light reflecting from the crystal wall of the Beast Control Space, nodding with satisfaction.
No wonder Lingxi City treated Mind Spring as a treasured resource. He had just soaked in it for a moment, and it felt as effective as many days of meditation.
However, Bai Qi discovered that the strengthening effects of Mind Spring had hit a temporary bottleneck for him, no further absorption had any effect.
In the novels of his past life, didn’t they all say that when the protagonist went to some magical place to practice, they would allow the Golden Finger to absorb energetically and directly drain the place dry, why was it so lofty with him?”
Bai Qi glanced at the still motionless Evolution Egg in the center of the Beast Control Space, feeling somewhat helpless.
He had initially thought about letting the Evolution Egg absorb if he couldn’t take the energy away. Now, it seemed that he shouldn’t think too much about it and could only hope that Alpha and Beta would upgrade more.
Speaking of which, he wondered how these two were soaking.
Bai Qi glanced around, Alpha was still immersed in Mind Spring, apparently not facing the same bottleneck as Bai Qi, as for the Husky…
Bai Qi looked at the Husky floating on the water, eyes closed, tongue hanging out, and suddenly panicked,
“Is this fellow drowned after falling asleep in the water?”
Bai Qi’s heart jumped, promptly pulling the Husky to his side. Before he could check on the Husky, he heard a faint snoring sound, immediately exasperation filled his face, and he directly tossed the silly creature into the spring.
He had been worried about this fellow, and it turned out the creature had fallen asleep.
Glub, glub, glub, glub…
The Husky, who had been sleeping soundly, was jolted awake by Bai Qi’s sudden attack and struggled desperately to escape from the spring.
Woof woof woof!
(Human, this place is haunted, let’s run!)
“Haunted?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi’s expression became strange, and he unconsciously looked towards the Husky beside him.
This dumb creature was with Alpha, a skeleton, all day, and was still scared of ghosts?
He didn’t know if there were ghosts in his past life, but the ghosts in this world seemed identical to the Soul Race.
If there were really ghosts, he would let Alpha deal with it!
“I apologize, Beast Master, it’s likely that the primary consciousness had been frightened by me, leading to some misunderstanding.”
What the heck, this place does have ghosts!
A mechanical voice simultaneously appeared in both Bai Qi’s and the Husky’s ears. The man and dog were shocked and immediately clung to each other.
“Beast Master, please calm down, I am just a split consciousness from Beta. In human terms, I should be considered a sub-personality – ah yes, in fact, a sub-dog personality.”
Sub-dog personality?
What kind of strange vocabulary was this?
Bai Qi internally commented but also gradually calmed down.
“You said you are Beta’s sub-dog personality, so does that mean Beta has developed a split-personality?”
Bai Qi had naturally heard of split-personality disorder, but this was the first time he heard about split-dog personality.
“The primary consciousness is a psychic mutant, whose soul is naturally stronger. It produced me, a split consciousness, due to the stimulation from Mind Spring.”
Bai Qi nodded, this explanation seemed reasonable, but the fact that an additional consciousness appeared was indeed unexpected.
“So, are you sharing a body with Beta now? Is there a primary or secondary difference between you?”
“Under normal circumstances, this would indeed happen. However, I migrated my consciousness to the Wis-brain voluntarily after analyzing the pros and cons, so we can coexist.”
The mechanical voice came yet again from the Husky’s half-mechanical armor. It then manipulated the mechanical arm to carry out a series of operations, and Bai Qi finally felt relieved.
Arf arf arf?
(So, you are my split consciousness? My little brother?)
Seeing Bai Qi chatting happily with the mysterious voice, the Husky gradually calmed down and tried to communicate with its split consciousness.
The mechanical voice replied, “I am the same as you, and if I want, I can also be the primary consciousness.”
Woof!
(What?!)
The Husky immediately recoiled in shock, poised to flee. Suddenly, a faint electric spark emerged from the half-mechanical armor, and the Husky was electrocuted unconscious in an instant.
Good gracious, so ruthless even on its own body, this split consciousness is utterly brutal!
Bai Qi watched in astonishment, then immediately placed his hand over the Husky.
[Name]: Valley-breaking Mechanical Wolf (Beta)
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department, Wolf Species (psychic mutation)
[Growth Level]: First Stage Third Level
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Perception (Perfect), Current Resistance (Perfect), Mechanical Assembly (Mastery), Blast Strengthening (Mastery), Blast Claw (Proficient), Soul Whisper (Beginner)
[Energy Value]: 8000
[Condition]: Evolvable
The energy values hadn’t changed much, but the Perception skill had been upgraded to Perfect, and a new skill called Soul Whisper had been added.
[Skill Name]: Soul Whisper
[Skill Introduction]: Super Energy Apartment skill, which can directly transmit one’s voice into others’ soul.
Uh, why do I have a bad feeling about this skill?
Looking at the Husky, which had been taken over by its split consciousness in front of him, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive. The split consciousness also sensed Bai Qi’s thoughts and assured, “Beast Master, you can rest assured that Soul Whisper requires psychic power, which could not be used on those stronger than us. Moreover, you can actively block the skill’s effects.”
“Is it true? Then I’m relieved.”
At Bai Qi’s words, he beat his chest, finally vaguely relieved.
If he couldn’t block it, Bai Qi had serious doubts that he would end up being annoyed to death by that dumb creature in the future.
That said, the split consciousness of Husky seems quite reliable.
According to the split consciousness, it voluntarily migrated into the Wis-brain, which seemed to be no different from the spiritual awakening of the Mechanical Beast.
So, from a certain point of view, the Husky had transformed its mechanical part into a Mechanical Beast.
Coming to Mind Spring this time was a real jackpot!
“However, Mind Spring has existed for so many years. Why haven’t I heard of similar cases in Lingxi City? It can’t just be special to you, right?”
The split consciousness paused for a moment, immediately projecting a virtual screen in front of Bai Qi, “According to the data, in history, Super Apartment Beast Tamers and pets of Lingxi City have some quirks, 80 percent of which could be influenced by Mind Spring.”
“As for why we encountered this situation, it may have to do with our usage.”
Bai Qi paused and immediately thought back to when he told the Husky to lick up the spring water that had splashed out earlier.
“So, is the effect better if you drink it?”
“In theory, yes.”
Bai Qi nodded, looking uncertainly at the Mind Spring.
Continuing to soak seemed futile, so should he try drinking it?
