Chapter 597: Chapter 381 Who Will Enter Hell If I Don’t_1

"Overlord level research robot?!"

Dr. Cheng Kong burst out.

Although Lu Ran didn’t know how the other party figured it out, seeing that he didn’t need to introduce it himself, he nodded and said, "No.18 is a research robot from the Lower Overlord Clan."

"It was left to me by my parents to help me better embark on the path of the Mechanic Series."

No. 18: "Yes, oh."

After Lu Ran finished bluffing, he suddenly froze, damn it, did he just let Death Gun take advantage of him? He took note of this grudge.

Dr. Cheng Kong: ???

At this moment, Dr. Cheng Kong’s brain somewhat crashed.

Furiously scratching his curly hair.

No!

What’s the deal with the student Principal Fu introduced?

Does Principal Fu really fully understand this student?

A suspected High-Level Overlord Beast, Relic Space, a research robot from the Lower Overlord Clan...

This, is this really the heritage that a couple from the sixth-level Beast Trainers could leave behind?

Looking at the cute Angel No. 18, Dr. Cheng Kong felt her brain buzzing with pain.

You’ve got to be kidding me, with an Overlord research robot, why go to Mechanical University at all? You could completely self-study to become a Legendary Machinist, right?

You should know that even for her, it was only after becoming a researcher at the Spirit Research Institute that she could use the nation’s power to upgrade her research robot from Monarch to Overlord.

"Who exactly... are you?" Dr. Cheng Kong’s heart shook as she couldn’t help but ask.

"It was just my parents getting a bit lucky, they once solved a relic that was said to be very formidable..." Lu Ran said with a wry smile, "But compared to these, I would rather they were still alive."

Dr. Cheng Kong was speechless.

"Do you know what an Overlord level research robot represents?"

"I know."

"Even so, do you still want to learn from me?"

"Yes. I’ve heard a lot from Principal Fu and even with an Overlord research robot to assist, I feel that hastily modifying my Pet Beasts carries certain risks. However, you are a top expert in this field, teacher. Learning from you, I definitely won’t suffer a loss."

"Good." Dr. Cheng Kong nodded, and with Lu Ran saying that, she stopped being pretentious.

If someone possessed a High-Level Overlord Beast and an Overlord level research robot, it could be said they were destined to become legendary.

Being a teacher to such a person is something anyone would wish for; it’s not only less trouble but also brings fame and profit without effort.

Being a legend yourself and teaching one are two different concepts.

"This way, I feel even more at ease."

"Her name is No. 18, right? A member of the Overlord Clan... Even if I gave her all my research, she would probably be able to understand it..."

Dr. Cheng Kong rubbed her temple with a bit of a headache, saying, "Now that I think about it, it feels like I’m becoming somewhat unnecessary."

No. 18 looked at Dr. Cheng Kong with shining eyes, really wanting to say, why not you go research the "Element Life Creation Device"? I can take care of perfecting the rest of your research!

"Forget it, this is good too."

"This research, it’s a bit tough for one person to handle anyway. I will probably be free in about a month, this month, you can have No. 18 study my previous research findings. With her capabilities, she can probably understand about forty to fifty percent of it. Once I’m done with my tasks, I’ll teach both of you together."

Dr. Cheng Kong decisively slammed the table and made a decision.

......

Lu Ran hadn’t expected that the outcome would be Dr. Cheng Kong leaving behind her research findings and then leaving, saying she would be free in a month.

Which coincided with the return time to Infinite City.

This meant that getting personal instruction from Dr. Cheng Kong was unlikely.

"So I still have to research on my own and can’t achieve a ’breakthrough result’ quickly through collaboration with Dr. Cheng Kong."

"Infinite City, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable?"

Lu Ran felt a headache but at least, Dr. Cheng Kong had left behind some extremely valuable research experience, which, in a way, gave him and his team a safety net.

It could greatly enhance No. 18’s efficiency in conducting her own research.

As long as within 18 days, No. 18 could use this research to come up with a Temporary Mechanical Armament Evolution Tool for Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death, then, not to mention entering the "Spirit Research Institute," but an "SSS" rating shouldn’t be a problem.

No matter now.

Let’s set the goal to get an "SSS" rating first.

After completing the task, rewards related to Breakthrough Secret Realm experience will surely be awarded.

That is, resources, Attributes, skills, and even Mechanical Life to strengthen the Mechanic Series.

At that time, it will be fully possible to look for other ways to join the ’Spirit Research Institute.’

Having contact with Dr. Cheng Kong was already an unexpected gain; now, Lu Ran could also be considered someone who ’knows someone inside the Spirit Research Institute.’ Even if he ended up sneaking in as a student assistant to Dr. Cheng Kong, it would be a success!

Even if he couldn’t join, having No. 18 dabble in other black technologies here and bring them back would be a win.

After making his decision, Lu Ran calmed down and began assisting No. 18 with the research.

......

"Master..."

After looking over Dr. Cheng Kong’s left-behind research for a long time, No. 18 said, "I have some ideas already."

"Eureka."

"Oh?" Lu Ran, sipping on tea, saw No.18 walk out of Time Hell and asked, "That was fast?"

"So, is it easier to modify Mr. Husky, or is it easier to modify King of Sudden Death?"

"Actually, if Master wants to obtain a higher ranking, Cloud Baby and Raven of Death are most suitable for temporary mechanical armament evolution!" No.18 said.

"Cloud Baby?"

"Yes, Cloud Baby has the ability to control natural disasters, transform, and switch attributes—perfectly suited for an easy affiliation with disaster technology weapon evolution, becoming stronger."

"I’ve analyzed it, and its compatibility with temporary mechanical armament evolution is much stronger than that of animal races, with a higher success rate. This has to do with its abilities."

"It won’t take much time; I will be able to figure it out!"

"Moreover, Cloud Baby is an Elemental Being. After the end of the Elemental Era, Elemental Beings became pitifully scarce. In a world where they can no longer be born, future generations have only found a few sealed Elemental Beings in ancient relics.

Researching their mechanical evolution is quite novel, or rather, Elemental Beings themselves are quite novel. If combined with machinery, that would be even more novel, and it would generate more interest than usual beast weapon evolution.

However, since Elemental Beings are almost non-existent, mechanical evolution of Elemental Beings is not very valuable to the development of the entire mechanical field, which is less meaningful than beast weapon evolution."

"Apart from that, there’s the Raven of Death. The combination of undead and machinery is also as novel as elements + machinery. However, we must consider whether the Mechanical Era can accommodate the necro system."

Lu Ran fell into thought. Indeed.

Wasn’t the reason he let No.18 research the Elemental Life Creation Device because one could count the number of Elemental Beings seen in this era on one hand?

And over at Death Gun’s place, it was proven that machinery + undead was a great combination, but this era might not necessarily accept the undead.

"Apart from them, the best choice should be Mr. Husky, right? It has the Weapon Control Talent, so it’s easier to modify." Lu Ran asked.

"That’s true, but where I had my eureka moment isn’t here!" No.18 said excitedly.

"Rather, I now have the idea to create the ’Element Life Creation Device’!"

Lu Ran: ???

"Really?"

"Yes, while collecting information about Master’s Pet Beasts, I learned about Senior Six Paths Reincarnation Flower’s ability, ’Limit Breakthrough’."

"Elemental Beings are no longer born today, likely because the Elemental Gods have been sealed or killed, leading to World Rules that no longer accommodate the birth of Elemental Beings. This is a limitation."

"But if we can break through this limitation, then creating Elemental Beings is not impossible."

"Senior Liu Hua is already at the Legendary Level, already possessing the preliminary ability to change rules. I request that you allow me to ’take down’ some resources from Senior Liu Hua to conduct research!"

Liu Hua: ??????

"During this time, I will reference and surpass Dr. Cheng Kong’s research achievements to study ’temporary mechanical armament evolution of Elemental Beings,’ and then take the opportunity to research Cloud Baby’s structure, using it as a base and with Senior Liu Hua’s assistance, to further research the ’Elemental Life Creation Device’."

"With Cloud Baby’s ability to transform and its Attribute Switching Trait, I’m sure I can research an item that allows it to undergo temporary evolution."

"If we’re lucky, we might even be able to develop the ’Elemental Life Creation Device’ together."

"If there’s still time, I will also study the temporary mechanical evolution tools for King of Sudden Death and Mr. Husky."

"Good, good." Lu Ran said joyfully, "Then you start with Cloud Baby’s mechanical evolution tool. I’ll have Cloud Baby and Liu Hua cooperate with you."

"As for luck, don’t worry, I’ll have Senior Liu Hua give you a Lucky Flower."

"No way?" Liu Hua was completely dumbfounded.

How did this research in the Mechanic Series become related to her?

It was one thing to help create the Time Territory, but now they wanted to extract its power for research?

Liu Hua glared at No.18. This thing was born here; it couldn’t possibly be just to overcome me.

"Liu Hua, please, a few petals should do." Lu Ran pleaded with hands together.

"It’s all for entering the Spirit Research Institute!"

"Aren’t you curious about what’s inside?"

Liu Hua: "Are you a devil? Petals are to me what teeth, scales, and pupils are to Mr. Husky, King of Sudden Death, Dark Crow..."

"..."

"..."

"No problem at all."

.........

Under Lu Ran’s pleading, Liu Hua eventually helped out, assisting No.18 in the research on "World Rules limitations."

Fortunately, Liu Hua has the Hungry Ghost Path and can absorb the life force of other beings to heal itself, otherwise without the Deer Horn of God’s healing, it would find it difficult to assist No.18.

And so, with arrangements from all sides, Cloud Baby and Liu Hua eventually became the final guinea pigs.

And after leaving the words "call me when you need Time Acceleration," Lu Ran also began his own research.

Since No.18 had chosen "Element Life Creation Device" as the ultimate goal of the research, then "Soul Evolution" would be researched by him, Lu Ran!

He took the Imperial Jade Seal, let the Raven of Death possess himself, transformed into a birdman, and then chatted about the Empire’s great ambitions with Raven of Curses and their undead avatars... This was an attempt to copy the ’Soul Avatar’ ability through Super Beast Mimicry, also allowing himself to master the Soul Avatar ability. This was the first step in soul possession evolution.

But just the first step was giving Lu Ran a hard time.

He maintained the posture of Raven of Death’s possession, chatting with Dark Crow about the Beast Training Empire uniting the universe, yet he still hadn’t learned the Undead Avatar!

"Liu Hua, why don’t you send us to Time Hell too..."

"If the Pet Beasts are working so hard, then I, as a Beast Trainer, can’t be lazy. If not I, who will descend into Hell!"

"I know you’re tired, but this will also be a special training for you."

Liu Hua: ???
