Chapter 589: Chapter 376: The Return of the Sword-Carrying Dog_1

"Alright, alright, alright, playing it like that, huh?"

The Six Paths Flower felt she had taken this mechanical angel for granted; the robot seemed more industrious than anyone and yet dared to test her limits.

She, the Six Paths Flower, had never been so underestimated!

"Master, did you only mention two research projects? Isn’t there one more?"

No. 18 continued to inquire.

The first two projects seemed far-fetched to No. 18. Even with sufficient time, success was not guaranteed.

She could only hope that the third research project Lu Ran mentioned would be something more realistic.

"One more..."

"Let me think."

"I’ve got it." Lu Ran said with a curious expression. "Do you know what Infinite City is?"

Six Paths Flower: ?

"I don’t know." said No. 18.

"Let me explain our current situation to you..." Next, Lu Ran informed No. 18 about Infinite City and the Breakthrough Secret Realm. Although No. 18 was newly created, her ability to receive information far surpassed that of humans.

"I see, Infinite City is suspected to be related to the Four Great Genesis Dragons, a super facility akin to the main god of online games," No. 18 exclaimed in surprise.

And then, an ominous premonition followed.

"Beast Training Skill Cards and Attribute Crystals are creations of Infinite City. Could you research their principles of creation, and then find a mechanical way to enable me to create Skill Cards and Attribute Crystals as well?"

"Once we have three Attribute Crystals, we could help a lifeform evolve."

"If I sell this to the Beast Trainers of the Star-Moon Federation, they would probably bankrupt themselves to buy it. I remember how long they have coveted Blue Star’s attribute evolution."

No. 18: ???

"As I thought!" Upon hearing this, the Six Paths Flower knew that Lu Ran intended to push this robot to the brink.

Is this reasonable, is this reasonable, expecting her to research Infinite City?

She was just born!

"Master, let’s talk about that machine that creates elemental beings and the device that triggers soul evolution," No. 18 suggested.

"Is that so..." Lu Ran nodded.

It seemed that No. 18 was more interested in the other two research projects.

"I have a small request!"

No sooner had No. 18 spoken than she continued, "Master, for the research you mentioned, if we want to expedite it, I might need a top-notch research institute with cutting-edge scientific facilities."

"OK..." Lu Ran said, "I’ll work that out."

"You stay here for now, I’m going to take a look outside."

Lu Ran knew that it wasn’t possible to let No. 18 "make a rocket with bare hands". Things like the research location had to be prepared for her.

Fortunately, the Capital Mechanical University was such a research hub.

Lu Ran planned to go out later to see if he could get "sponsorship" or "investment" from a professor to use the school’s research institute.

Or even paying would do, as long as it’s for 18 days!

......

Next, Lu Ran emerged from the Relic Space and then picked up the student card on the table.

The student card displayed Lu Ran’s photo, as well as his name and student number.

At this moment, the name on Lu Ran’s student card was not "Beast Training King" but "Passerby A".

Shortly after the public announcement for completing the Legendary Secret Realm, Lu Ran spent ten thousand crystal coins to change his name back.

The reason was simple; the Six Paths Flower noticed that someone was divining their whereabouts through the ID "Beast Training King".

Lu Ran didn’t want his movements on Star-Moon Continent to be known, so he immediately followed the Six Paths Flower’s suggestion and changed his ID, cutting off the other party’s source of divination.

It was unclear who was divining their information and how much they were able to ascertain...

Anyways, Lu Ran suddenly felt that changing his name had been the right move.

For this time, the student card information directly used his Beast Trainer ID from Infinite City.

If he hadn’t changed his name and with the title "University Student: Beast Training King" went to the invention competition, his cover would certainly be blown.

Even if he didn’t summon the Six Paths Flower, having the ID of "Beast Training King" was just too conspicuous and prone to speculation.

It contradicted his style of keeping a low profile.

"Eh." Holding the identity card, Lu Ran was about to leave, but then he suddenly noticed a laptop in the dormitory.

Rather than going out to inquire, Lu Ran immediately sat in front of the computer, feeling that searching for information online might be faster.

Almost forgot, this is a modern technological society, not ancient times.

It had to be said, although other areas of technology have evolved impressively, the ordinary computers looked almost the same as those on Blue Star.

Shortly thereafter, Lu Ran began his pleasant surfing on the internet.

And sure enough, just 15 minutes of browsing, Lu Ran found what he needed.

First, the University Student Invention Competition is held annually, open to 119 universities of the Star-Moon Republic that qualify to participate...

Although it’s held once a year, the number of contestants is still overwhelming. According to the official website of the competition, this year’s registration numbers have surpassed 50,000 people.

"Damn." Lu Ran was taken aback upon seeing this.

That’s a lot.

No wonder the Breakthrough Secret Realm is getting harder and harder.

Not only do trialists compete against each other, with only one person able to break through, but they also have to keep up with the NPCs. With tens of thousands of participants, achieving a top 100 rank is incredibly challenging.

But fortunately, he had his Overlord Mechanical Angel...

Among these contestants, the majority probably only invented some minor gadget; the real threats were those with influential parents, good teachers, or the actual geniuses.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran discovered that he was currently unregistered for the competition.
