Chapter 613: Chapter 321 Mechanic Association Privileged Class_2

...

The Mechanician Association, located in the upper layer of Gemini, dominates the skyline with its towering steel towers, embellished with a massive sign featuring three bizarre, overlapping, gigantic hands.

These were no human hands, appearing oddly shaped and grotesque.

Here, the crowds were thicker, with mechanics wearing badges bustling about, many life forms bearing markedly obvious body modifications.

Although their life levels weren’t high, they were all accompanied by extremely fierce guards.

The Mechanician Association provides free residence to mechanics of any level, but the living period must not exceed one month.

In the Chaotic Star Gap, mechanics are highly sought after, from the maintenance of small arms to the repair of spaceships, and even the fixing of warships, all require their services.

Many adventure groups or raider teams would have mechanics with them, and they were even prioritized over medical personnel.

A slight wound could be treated with an injection of a cell repair potion, recovering in a few hours, but a fault in a weapon or spaceship—that could cost lives.

For this reason, the Mechanician Association also had a variety of well-received employment missions on offer.

"Ding—examination over."

On the middle layer, the lights in an examination room went off, and five or six people waiting outside, donned in rudimentary combat armor of various forms and belonging to different species, couldn’t help but stand up upon hearing the announcement.

Buzz—The metallic doors of the examination room slid apart, and a gaunt middle-aged man with prominent cheekbones and deep-set eyes, and a face adorned with a beard, walked out. His complexion was flushed, as if restraining some sort of excitement.

"Joseph, did you pass?" A tall burly man with blue skin asked immediately.

Joseph looked around at his companions, couldn’t help but grin and said, "What do you think? Of course, I did!"

"Ha! I knew you could do it!" The blue-skinned brawny man rushed up and hugged him, while the surrounding companions also had faces full of joy, with a fluffy creature resembling a black chimpanzee pounding its chest and letting out a hooting sound.

"So now you’ll be an Intermediate Mechanic, can the boss still afford you?" A voice suddenly said, quieting the atmosphere.

"Ha..." Joseph waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "I’m not planning on living life on the edge anymore, I’m going back home to open a mechanical company. I came here to hunt for resources and hone my skills."

"You’re planning to go back..." A few people seemed somewhat disappointed.

Just as Joseph was about to say something to comfort his companions, he heard a scolding voice from behind, "The examination is over, move along quickly, don’t make noise here and disturb the other mechanics being evaluated!"

The one who came out was a humanoid of an arrogant demeanor, with ram-like horns on his head, dressed in the silver-white standard uniform of the association, with cold, narrow eyes that swept disdainfully over their faces.

"Yes... yes..." Joseph replied with awe, quickly pulling his companions away.

"Who is he, acting all high and mighty like that."

"He’s the Chief Judge for this examination, an Advanced Mechanic..."

"Just an Advanced Mechanic? I thought he was a Great Mechanic."

"Isn’t an Advanced Mechanic enough? In our civilization, Advanced Mechanics could even become members of the Capital Science Academy. If I were an Advanced Mechanic, I would definitely go back to live the good life; Joseph is only an Intermediate Mechanic and he doesn’t even want to hang with us anymore."

"It’s not that I don’t want to..."

Six or seven life forms disappeared at the end of the corridor amidst their noisy chatter, while the Chief Judge behind them snorted disdainfully, too lazy to deal with these lower life level beings.

He straightened his clothes, about to step forward when his smart terminal buzzed. He glanced down at it and his expression suddenly changed, as he quickly quickened his pace.

"Damn, why are there so many people down there?"

As Joseph and his group descended the elevator, their previously jovial faces stiffened, as the entire lobby was full of staff from the Mechanician Association.

The crowd was bustling in their silver uniforms, dazzling to the eyes, and a passage had been cleared in the center.

"What’s going on here?" They were squeezed at the very back, only able to walk through the very narrow passage on the outskirts, with the bulkiest boss even having to turn sideways to fit.

"Looks like some important person is coming." Joseph furrowed his brows.

While they spoke, a wave of bustling noise carried from outside, followed by a group of people entering. The easiest to recognize were on both sides, members of the Mechanician Association.

"Dwarf—Scout, a Mechanic?" Joseph’s heart fluttered as he looked at the sturdy purple-skinned dwarf on his right.

In this branch of the Mechanic Association, there were a total of two Mechanics, and now both of them were here, one on each side, flanking the young human at the center.

He looked unremarkable, his expression serene and emotionless, as if the company of two Mechanics was nothing of note.

"Why does he seem familiar?" Joseph frowned, looking at the young man.

Li Ming was at a loss for words. When he had arrived, he really hadn’t expected the Mechanic Association to greet him with such pomp.

They had been waiting at the entrance of the Mechanic Association, catching him by surprise.

Dark Night had already disappeared; he wasn’t too fond of being the center of attention.

"This way, please..." The Mechanic on the left reminded him, with a goatee, sharp ears, and a slender figure. He didn’t seem sycophantic.

Someone was already waiting by the elevator, specifically there to press the elevator button.

Li Ming inwardly clicked his tongue, the achievements he had made were indeed gold-plated. This was not a bad thing—the number of people who witnessed this was not small.

Beep—

The elevator doors opened, and the group entered, heading straight to the upper layer.

After they left, the management staff directed the hall’s employees to disperse.

Joseph’s colleague muttered: "Who’s this big shot? Did you guys see that goat-head who scolded us before? He only had the privilege to stand in front of the elevator pressing the button, all while wearing a fawning expression, but they didn’t even glance at him."

"Fuck, it’s Li Ming, he is Li Ming!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, having covertly made a match through a smart terminal.

"Li Ming?" Thunder seemed to strike in Joseph’s mind, he exclaimed, "The student of Casting Star Mechanic Azure Dragon?"

"Li Ming? Who is Li Ming?" The chimpanzee leaned in, confused.

"Have you all forgotten what happened in the Northern Crown Star Ring a while ago?" Joseph said excitedly.

"Northern Crown Star Ring?" The chimpanzee scratched its head, then said, "Is that the thing you were inexplicably shouting about before?"

Joseph was thrilled: "Yes, that’s him, Azure Dragon’s student, a Casting Star Mechanic!"

Several teammates looked at each other, not just them, many were unfamiliar with the name. With so much happening in the interstellar every day, they hadn’t paid special attention.

Only Joseph, because of the Casting Star Mechanic, paid special attention.

But they all understood the weight of a Casting Star Mechanic’s title and couldn’t help but express envy: "It’s really nice, how come he could become the student of a Casting Star Mechanic?"

"Don’t even think about it, such people are surely cultivated by major powers."

"He really isn’t, he comes from a low-level civilization, and his parents are both dead," Joseph emphasized frowningly, "It must be because of his own talent that he was noticed."

"From a low-level civilization?" His teammates were astonished.

...

In the top-floor office, Li Ming sat on the sofa. The goateed Mechanic, named Hart, was very polite: "Lord Ulysses has informed us of your purpose for coming. We are all very pleased that Lord Azure Dragon desires to join the Mechanic Association."

Li Ming smiled. Dark Night must have given a heads-up to that Ulysses, prompting him to inform this branch, essentially vouching for Azure Dragon.

He must be a Casting Star Mechanic as well.

"Here’s some basic information that needs filling in..." The other party handed over a set of paper documentation, with fields for age, gender, race, and the like.

Li Ming raised an eyebrow and simply wrote "Azure Dragon" in the name section, then handed it back.

The man glanced at it, his mouth twitching slightly, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he entered the relevant information, and after typing a few lines of code, he looked up and said,

"All right, Lord Azure Dragon is now a Casting Star Mechanic certified by the Mechanic Association."

"It’s that simple?" Li Ming was surprised.

"Normally, to evaluate a Casting Star Mechanic, the presence of a Divine Craftsman Level Mechanic is required, as well as two Casting Star Mechanics as secondary judges, along with a multi-stage verification process spanning no less than three months," he explained;

"However, Lord Azure Dragon’s case is special; he has already proven himself in full view of the public."
