Chapter 391: Fatty's Mutation and Yun Sheng's Proposal
Chapter 391: Fatty's Mutation and Yun Sheng's Proposal
Chen Zhan, Huang Tianbing, and the others were still waiting outside.
However, at this very moment, within the reception hall, there were more than a dozen people gathered.
Most importantly, almost everyone present was a well-known figure in the Imperial Capital.
Among them was Cheng Dongcheng, the senior breeder of the Beastmaster Association's Death Domain, just one step away from becoming a Master Breeder. He was also the owner of the Ghost Dragon Breeding Base, one of the top companion beast breeding bases in the Imperial Capital, and an Imperial Beastmaster.
The chairman of the 'Origin' company, who had successfully transitioned into a full-fledged businessman, was also the true head of the Wang family. He was the father of Wang Delong, the owner of the Dragon Dynasty Club, and an Imperial Beastmaster as well.
Lu, the deputy president of the Imperial Capital Academy, was also the first deputy president in charge. It was estimated that after the educational reform, he would be the next president of the academy, and he was also an Imperial Beastmaster.
...
The list went on.
Any one of these individuals was a well-respected figure.
Although none of them could compare to the level of Chen Zhan's great-grandfather, they were all significant figures in their own right.
However, the person who had already gone in was someone who held an even higher status than Chen Zhan's great-grandfather, or perhaps even higher.
The people currently waiting outside had come to visit but had not yet been granted entry.
What surprised Chen Zhan even more was that, according to these people, they had already come the day before.
It was just that Su Ping was not there yesterday.
According to the well-connected head of the Wang family, Su Ping had gone to a place that existed only in legends yesterday.
Chen Zhan was still unsure why a person younger than him had such influence, but he finally understood his family's good intentions.
Compared to these visitors, the Chen family had no connection or involvement with Su Ping.
One might even say they were not even remotely related.
Therefore, it was not appropriate for the elders of the Chen family to visit, but it was only natural for Chen Zhan, a young member of the family who had participated in the final trial, to come instead.
Perhaps others had the same idea, but it was only natural for Chen Zhan to be the one to visit.
As such, Chen Zhan, the proud Beastmaster who believed that only beastmastering skills mattered, finally calmed down.
He waited to see when the two from the Mechanic Beast Association would finish their business.
Many others outside shared the same thought.
However, they could only wait patiently.
After all, among the visitors, the Mad Saint was indeed the one who should be given priority.
But soon, just as Chen Zhan had this thought, another person arrived at the door.
It was a woman.
Unlike most of the others who were dressed in modern attire, she wore a colorful silk skirt that concealed her figure, and only her calm and serene eyes were visible beneath the veil that covered her face, which should have been extremely beautiful.
Chen Zhan noticed, and so did everyone else.
Many who knew her stood up:
"Yun Sheng."
Indeed, it was Yun Sheng who had made an appointment with Su Ping.
Yun Sheng nodded and, without waiting for anyone to ask, Cheng Dongcheng, who had already known about Su Ping's arrival yesterday, spoke up:
"Yun Sheng, Mad Saint has already gone in. Su Ping is here today."
"Thank you."
...
"My apologies, Mad Saint. I didn't expect you to arrive so early. I just returned from the Western Desert Province and heard that the renowned genius breeder, Su Ping, had finally come to the Imperial Capital."
Wu Kuang glanced at Long Two, who stood calmly behind Su Ping, and then smiled, revealing his metal teeth:
"No need for apologies. I'm Wu Kuang, the Mad Saint of the Dragon Nation, specializing in mechanical beasts. This is Zhang Lan, the Vice President of the Mechanic Beast Association!"
Wu Kuang pointed to the person beside him, and she extended her hand:
"Nice to meet you, Su Ping."
"Hello, Vice President Zhang."
Su Ping politely shook her hand.
Zhang Lan spoke directly:
"Su Ping, the reason I came with the President this time is that we've long heard about the unique Mechanical Beast Core in your possession and the interesting skill you've developed."
The Saint Dragon Legend had already hinted at their purpose the day before.
Even Su Ping hadn't thought that Fatty would have such a huge appeal.
Without any pretense, Su Ping directly summoned Fatty's true form.
In an instant, these two old fellows, who didn't look young and held high positions, received it with a mesmerized expression.
"Incredible! It's truly amazing! Why is the intelligence of electromagnetically activated creatures primarily mental-based? And why are the electromagnetic mental waves so unique?"
"The Pet Beast World is indeed incredible..."
Su Ping watched as these two old men, with their mechanical hands and calloused, burnt palms, played with Fatty's core.
In Su Ping's soul contract, Fatty's cries also echoed:
"Darn it, stop it, waaah... Fatty's not clean anymore! I've let down Yili, Aning, Ailin, Xiao, and Bobo..."
Su Ping's forehead was covered in black lines.
Just as Su Ping was about to lose his patience, the two of them finally stopped. Mad Saint blinked his crimson mechanical eye and said, "Su Ping, do you know how your pet beast was born? We suspect that it might be related to the research project of the Mechanical Association."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, "What project?"
Mad Saint didn't answer directly but instead played coy, "You know about the birth of mechanical pet beasts, right? The birth of mechanical pet beasts primarily requires the injection of electromagnetic flow information into a special 'Gold Elemental Core' to complete their awakening!"
Su Ping nodded.
The 'Gold Elemental Core' sounded similar to the 'Gold Heart' of the Five Elements, but in reality, they were quite different.
In fact, calling it a resource was a bit of a stretch, but some people did use it as a resource, and it was indeed a monarch-level metallic resource.
However, this thing was more about the birth of elemental spirits with the same attribute.
And it was about the birth of high-level elemental spirits.
Compared to low-level 'Fire Spirits' like Little Flame, the ones born from the Gold Elemental Core were high-level Gold Elemental Spirits, with a racial limit of Overlord to Monarch-level Great Spirits.
After transforming into a mechanical core, the core potential level decreased, but it could be improved by splicing mechanical body blueprints to raise the limit and even complete evolution.
This was also the main reason why mechanical cores were so valuable, and mechanical pet beasts were considered luxury pet beasts in the new era.
Even the basic mechanical cores were like this, and there was a success rate in activating the Gold Elemental Core to become a mechanical core. Once it failed, the loss was significant.
"The Mechanical Association has always been trying to reduce the cost of producing mechanical cores. The most crucial aspect is finding other ways to create mechanical cores, not just in our Dragon Country, but I believe the Lion Kingdom and Eagle Kingdom are doing the same.
Even the Eagle Kingdom, the most advanced in mechanical pet beasts, might have achieved partial technological breakthroughs in this area."
Mad Saint continued, not denying the strength of their enemies.
Su Ping nodded in agreement.
However, he didn't speak and continued to wait for the other to finish.
"According to our speculation, the Gold Elemental Core required for mechanical cores can be formed not only innately but also nurtured postnatally! Simultaneously, this can promote the grading of mechanical cores!"
"Hmm?"
Su Ping frowned, "Mechanical core grading?"
"It's not that simple."
The so-called grading of mechanical cores was just a lead-in.
The focus of attention was elsewhere.
"So, you're saying that Fatty's birth wasn't from an ordinary mechanical core but possibly from a Gold Elemental Core born in a metal with a unique mental attribute, and then through mechanical activation, it transformed into this form?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"Exactly! We've been searching for a Gold Elemental Core with an innate difference in attributes to create a unique mechanical pet beast core. Su Ping, your pet beast might have originated from this!"
Wu Kuang explained.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.
He remembered the first time he met Fatty in his 'Black Blood' sports car; he had asked Fatty about its origins.
At that time, Fatty had given him an ambiguous answer.
Perhaps the metal body from which it was born was different.
Su Ping had to admit he was intrigued.
"The Gold Elemental Core itself is a high-level resource born from metal ore veins. Aren't their essences different?"
"Of course, they're different." Zhang Lan took over the conversation:
"For example, the Gold Elemental Core born from the monarch-level 'Wan Ren Shui Tie' and the monarch-level 'Yuan Ci Zhen Jin', can the Gold Elemental Cores born from these two be the same?
The gold elemental core born from the Ten Thousand Swords Water Iron, although also of the Light Clan, would undoubtedly have some affinity with water-attributed metal resources, while the Primordial Magnetic Shock Gold would be even more adept in electromagnetic force.
For instance, the Mysterious Rock Steel Ore Vein, a Supreme Overlord-level resource, produced a different gold elemental core.
Primordial Magnetic Shock Gold?
A thought stirred in Su Ping's mind.
"Has the Mechanic Beast Association mastered the technology to actively induce the birth of gold elemental cores from metal resources?"
As soon as these words were spoken, both parties felt a bit embarrassed, and Wu Kuang helplessly said, "In this regard, the Association has been trying, and I believe that day is not far off."
Zhang Lan had just given two examples, which were the two types that the Association had experimented with the most and were also the closest to success.
"Oh? Can I hear more?"
"It's not a big deal. The gold elemental core of the Ten Thousand Swords Water Iron is due to the Mechanic Beast Association's control over a secret realm with abundant Ten Thousand Swords Water Iron veins, thus giving birth to the gold elemental core. The activated mechanical core will inherently fuse more efficiently with water-attributed metal resources, making it the most suitable foundation core for ocean-type mechanical beasts.
As for the Primordial Magnetic Shock Gold, it's purely because the Primordial Magnetic Shock Gold is the most suitable gold elemental core vein for awakening mechanical cores. It was also the first type of gold elemental core discovered to transform into a mechanical core.
As for the activation method, it's best if you, Su Ping, go and find out. The required experience value for the current parsing is 10,000, and the current ledger experience is 2 (1921/2000)."
Feeling the feedback from the Omnipotent Beast Codex, Su Ping was slightly taken aback.
His gold elemental spirit's ledger experience was actually not insignificant, after all, he spent every day with Fei Fei, and most importantly, the mechanical cores that transformed into Dream Hearts after contact would provide him with a meager two points of ledger experience.
Accumulating these small experiences, he now had a decent amount.
What surprised Su Ping even more was that the Omnipotent Beast Codex, which had been silent about Fei Fei's mutation, had finally taken action.
Xiao Qing's mutation was due to the Green Demon Spring Ginseng.
Qian Yi's mutation was due to the Sword Intent Essence and the Soul Seed.
Then, what was the reason for Fei Fei's mutation?
It seemed that chatting with the Mechanic Beast Association's representatives wasn't a waste of time after all. Perhaps it was worth making a trip to the Association? With this thought in mind, Su Ping chatted with Wu Kuang and Zhang Lan again, and upon hearing that Su Ping hadn't brought the Dream Core Helmet on this trip, the two were slightly disappointed. However, when they learned that it would be mailed over tomorrow, they promised to come again early the next morning.
Based on the Dream Core, the Mechanic Beast Association wanted to collaborate with the Pingyun Company.
As for the nature of the collaboration, Su Ping could guess.
Indeed, before the Saint Dragon Legend, they had already hinted at it.
However, Su Ping wasn't very interested in these matters.
After the two representatives left, Su Ping waited for the arrival of the Cloud Saint, whom he was meeting for the first time.
On this first solo encounter, Su Ping had a favorable impression of the Cloud Saint.
In fact, it was indeed so.
The Cloud Saint didn't rush to inquire about Xiao Huo Yan.
Instead, she asked about the Mad Saint's visit.
Su Ping shared his dilemma, wondering how to complete the assembly and evolution of this mental-type mechanical core.
However, to Su Ping's surprise, the Cloud Saint, who hailed from the Dragon City Emerald Dreamland, offered a suggestion.
Moreover, it was a proposal that shattered Su Ping's imagination.
