Chapter 609: Chapter 385: Spirit Researcher: Lu Ran!_2

"That place is not easy to get into."

Principal Deng spoke.

"Looking at Capital Mechanical University, there are multiple legendary mechanists, yet only Dr. Cheng Kong is a researcher there. Do you know why?"

"Is it because of the powerful free mechanical armament evolution technique?" Lu Ran guessed.

But it didn’t seem quite right...

"How could it be just because of that technique?" Principal Fu laughed and said, "It’s because Dr. Cheng Kong paid money and used connections to get in."

Lu Ran: "Ah?"

"That’s not exactly accurate, either."

"An artificial god inevitably involves legendary energy, legendary materials, legendary resources."

"Those resources are key to researching artificial gods."

"And in Dr. Cheng Kong’s family, there happens to be a hereditary legendary resource, so she was able to join the Spirit Research Institute. It’s crucial she brought assets to join the team. However, this is not to say that Dr. Cheng Kong isn’t capable. On the contrary, she’s very talented, lacking only in age. After being honed by the Spirit Research Institute, it probably won’t take long before she outshines most legendary mechanists."

"I see." Lu Ran nodded his head.

For example, even if he hadn’t developed the Elemental Life Creation Device, if he went to the Spirit Research Institute and said he had contracted with a Lower Legend, he probably could join the Spirit Research Institute as well.

However, Lu Ran definitely couldn’t do that.

"But you don’t need to worry." After talking so much, Principal Deng chuckled and said, "With the Elemental Life Creation Device... you might become the youngest spirit researcher at the Spirit Research Institute."

"The Spirit Research Institute is currently the most important official research institution in the country... the Elemental Life Creation Device... will surely be highly valued."

"Just wait and see, even if you don’t bring it up, they might soon realize it and make contact with you."

"Especially with Dr. Cheng Kong there, you can’t say she had no involvement in this technique, hahaha."

Lu Ran: "..."

That wasn’t entirely without basis; she provided a research facility......

Afterward, claiming he wanted to rest for a while, Lu Ran began his solitude, and several school leaders left to handle the stormy events.

Alone, Lu Ran let out a long sigh and felt the tension that had been holding him for over half a month finally loosen. However, the most exhausted were Six Paths Flower and No. 18.

He wondered if the rewards for this breakthrough mission were worthy of their efforts.

"Breakthrough."

After people had left for a while, Lu Ran proceeded with the breakthrough with a direct thought, instantly becoming a Level 5 Beast Trainer, with +1 to the number of contracts and +1 to the skill slot.

The new contract slot was undoubtedly reserved for No. 18.

This time, Lu Ran took a glance at the "Trait Crystal: Heart of Machinery" he had obtained and once again, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

Touch machinery to understand its structure, manufacturing methods, methods of countering it, and weaknesses?

That’s practically the dream technique of a research-oriented mechanic life, isn’t it?

Indeed worthy of an SSS class reward!

It seemed that he must hurry and release No. 18 from the Beast Training Space contract, to formally contract her with the Contract Card.

Then, quickly fuse this attribute into her.

As for why, isn’t it obvious?

He was very likely to be heading to the Spirit Research Institute.

The various mechanical devices there probably represent the highest level of the era.

If No. 18 were to interact with those, wouldn’t that mean she’d be equivalent to the Spirit Research Institute?

Of course, this ability isn’t unlimited; the higher the level of the mechanic product, the higher the proficiency in the Heart of Machinery required, which might significantly limit No. 18’s ability to analyze the machinery of the Spirit Research Institute.

However, no matter how much she could analyze, it was all a gain, and Lu Ran could only say that as long as No. 18 wouldn’t collapse, she should keep absorbing mechanical knowledge to her limit!

Miss this village, and there won’t be this shop again.

"Beast Training Technique: Mechanical Modification..." As for the Beast Training Technique reward, Lu Ran pondered; the skill was not bad, but he estimated he wouldn’t need it in the short term.

Because for his next Beast Training Technique, Lu Ran was already preparing to learn Space-Time Shield.

His pet beasts that could undergo Evolution Phases One, Two, and Three in Infinite City, aren’t lacking opportunities for evolution. Besides, he was also researching Soul Evolution.

Perhaps, after using up the evolutions given by Infinite City, he could consider further developing his pet beasts through the Mechanic Series.

The potential of the Mechanic Series wasn’t low; the Mechanical Main God was proof of that.

But for the moment, instead of pursuing mechanical evolution at this stage, it’s better to properly prepare for attributes and not waste the "second stage evolution" opportunity.

Learning a "Space-Time Shield" Beast Training Technique to enrich his resources was clearly a better choice.

Then... came the most critical part, the epic resource.

Epic bombs!

In fact, from the beginning, Lu Ran wanted to complain.

The reward for the breakthrough mission had actually given him a bomb, which was quite peculiar.

He felt like a strengthening type of resource would have been better!

But it wasn’t bad either.

A bomb that could hurt a "Lower Legend" was definitely several times more powerful than Blue Star’s largest nuclear bomb.

Using Data Eye to look deeper into its function, it was indeed the case.

Keep in mind, a Lower Legend would certainly be 100% in control of the Power of Space.

Facing a nuclear bomb, perhaps a Spatial Pet Beast of around level 30 might be able to avoid the explosion damage, but against this "Wrath of Nature," that certainly wouldn’t work because it can not only seal space and shatter space, but within a certain range, it can also track and lock onto the enemy.

However, the downside is also quite obvious.
