Chapter 594: Chapter 379 This Splashing Wealth and Honor..._1

Dormitory.

After returning, Lu Ran continued to modify the Beast Training Space, not wasting a single minute or second.

The main issue was the time sensitivity of this mission. Considering Angel No.18’s slow reactions with his constant "Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?", Lu Ran felt that even with Liu Hua’s Time Hell, he might not be able to create an invention that would allow him entry into the Spirit Research Institute.

Although seeking entry into the Spirit Research Institute was merely his pursuit of ultimate research depth, a bit greedy, the thought of participating in the development of the Mechanical Main God made Lu Ran’s heart itch with excitement.

Mechanical Main God!

In the words of the Divine Deer, this entity was even more dangerous than the Chaos Dragon God and the Divine Tree.

He really wanted to be its ’father’...

"Sigh..."

Lu Ran continued to meditate, but before long, someone came knocking on his door because of the recent commotion.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Someone was at Lu Ran’s door.

"Who is it?" he opened his eyes and called out.

"Lu Student, I am Fu Zhengnan, the vice-chancellor of Capital Mechanical University."

"Uh." Lu Ran was startled. Although he had expected that some professors would seek him out after that battle, considering the rarity of an Overlord Beast, he hadn’t anticipated the chancellor himself would make a visit.

"Good day, Chancellor." Lu Ran hurried to open the door, saying, "May I ask what brings you here...?"

"Haha." With a smile brimming with goodwill, Fu Zhengnan said, "Lu Student, I’ve taken note of your recent battle in the arena against Student Ji’s Mystic Mecha."

"You’re very impressive. I couldn’t have imagined that you’re just a freshman."

As he spoke, his expression changed slightly.

"I’ve already been in contact with Teacher Shen. I understand she recruited you for admission because of her connection with your late parents, and had absolutely no idea you would be so formidable..."

"But when I think about it, it makes sense. Both your parents were individuals nearly legendary as Beast Trainers. How could you be anything but exceptional?"

"That Dog Beast of yours..."

"Was left to me by my parents," Lu Ran said.

"Right." Fu Zhengnan nodded, continuing, "It seems that even though your parents are gone, they’ve left you a truly precious legacy. They loved you very much."

"Have you already decided to pursue the path of mechanically modifying your Pet Beasts..."

"With the talent and potential of your Dog Beast, it would become very strong even without mechanical modification."

"Although the Mechanic Series is mainstream nowadays, mechanically modifying a beast from the Overlord Clan is extremely challenging. If successful, it would be wonderful, transforming its strength dramatically, but if it fails, it might end up weaker than it is now, stunting its growth."

"I..." Lu Ran certainly didn’t want to modify it; he was worried about the risks as well.

"Don’t rush your decision," Fu Zhengnan suggested. "The university always values talented students like you immensely."

"I’m aware that the support for aspiring Mechanists today is unprecedented. Many Beast Trainers wish to switch. Your acceptance of our invitation suggests that you’re no exception."

"Here’s a suggestion for you. How about you hear me out?"

"Sure." Lu Ran nodded.

"I’d like to recommend a teacher to you!"

"She’s a Legendary Machinist!"

Lu Ran: ???

No way, they want me to find a teacher again?

Lu Ran shook his head inwardly. There was no need; with the Mechanical Angel, what else could a mentor offer?

An epic-level machinist, maybe.

After all, even in the Mechanical Era, it was only epic-level machinists who might possibly have Overlord Beast Research Type Mechanical assistance.

Not even Legendary Machinists got that privilege. Research Type Mechanicals are valued higher than Combat Type Mechanicals.

"Speaking of which, this person has a little connection with you,"

"The teacher I want to recommend is the owner of the CK Research Institute you applied to challenge."

"Dr. Cheng is a very talented scholar, and her research focuses on Mechanical Armament Evolution."

"However, her approach to Mechanical Armament Evolution differs greatly from most of the current methods."

"Presently, most Mechanical Armament Evolutions are irreversible. Once mechanical devices merge with the Pet Beast’s body and evolve, they cannot be separated without causing ’injury’ or ’amputation,’ leading to significant side effects. Further upgrades and evolutions must be based on this, and if the evolution path chosen is incorrect, it’s hard to rectify."

"But Dr. Cheng is researching something very new. She’s trying to develop ’free Mechanical Armament Evolution.’"

"That is, the Mechanical Armament would simply be an Evolution Tool, temporarily providing your Pet Beast with Mechanical Armament Evolution. When the Pet Beast wants to return to its original form, the two can naturally separate. It’s akin to a semi-mechanically modified Pet Beast’s state but stronger, capable of normally acquiring Mechanic Series attributes, gaining a bigger power boost after evolving!"

"So far, Dr. Cheng has already developed two types of Evolution Tools that support designated Overlord Beasts’ free armament evolution, which proves this path is feasible."

"The risks of mechanizing an Overlord Beast aren’t small, and once you go down the wrong path, it’s very hard to change. However, if it’s a free Mechanical Armament Evolution path that allows evolution and reversion, the cost of trial and error is much lower. Her research aims to reduce the risks of Mechanical Armament Evolution."

"In terms of research on Mechanical Armament Evolution, Dr. Cheng is undoubtedly a top scholar. If you could study under her, even if you choose the Mechanist path, your future safety would have a significant buffer."

"You don’t have to rush to mechanically modify your Pet Beast. You could wait to learn more about machinery before making a decision. Studying with Dr. Cheng is unquestionably the best choice."
