Chapter 391: The Reason for Fifi's Mutation? The Cloud Saint's Proposal!
Chapter 391: The Reason for Fifi's Mutation? The Cloud Saint's Proposal!
Chen Zhan, Huang Tianbing, and the others are still waiting outside.
However, at this moment, inside the reception hall, there are more than twenty people gathered.
Most importantly, almost everyone present is a prominent figure in the Imperial Capital.
The senior breeder of the Beastmaster Association's Undead Attribute, Cheng Dongcheng, the council member who is just a step away from becoming a master breeder, is also the owner of the renowned 'Ghost Dragon Breeding Base' in the Imperial Capital. He is an Imperial Beastmaster.
The chairman of 'Origin' company, who has successfully transitioned into a commercial tycoon, is the true heir of the Wang family. He is also the father of Wang Delong, the owner of the Dragon Dynasty Club. He is an Imperial Beastmaster as well.
The vice-president of the Imperial Capital Academy, Lu, who oversees the first vice-presidency, is likely to be the future successor to the position of the academy's president. He is also an Imperial Beastmaster.
...
There are many more like them, too numerous to mention.
Any one of them is a well-known and respected figure.
Although they may not be on the same level as Chen Zhan's great-grandfather, they are still highly influential.
However, just like Chen Zhan's great-grandfather, an even more prestigious figure has already entered!
The people currently waiting outside are here for a visit, but they haven't been granted entry yet.
What surprises Chen Zhan even more is that, according to these people, they actually came yesterday as well.
It's just that Su Ping wasn't here yesterday.
According to the well-connected Wang family patriarch, Su Ping had gone to the legendary Dragon City, and even directly to the Heavenly Tomb, to meet with that person yesterday.
This makes Chen Zhan a little anxious.
Even though he still doesn't quite understand why someone younger than him has such influence, he finally understands his family's good intentions.
Compared to these people, the Chen family and Su Ping have no connections or dealings.
It can even be said that they are completely unrelated.
Therefore, in this situation, it's not appropriate for the Chen family's elders to visit, but it's reasonable for Chen Zhan, a young participant in the final trial, to come.
Perhaps, others might have the same idea, but they don't have the same justification as the Chen family.
This is why Chen Zhan, who is proud and believes that only beastmaster abilities matter, finally calms down.
He waits for the two representatives from the Mechanical Association to come out.
Given the current situation, he wonders if he will get a chance to meet with Su Ping today.
Many people outside obviously share this thought.
However, at this moment, they can only wait patiently outside.
After all, among those who have arrived, the Mad Saint, Wu Kuang, is indeed the most deserving of the first spot.
But soon, Chen Zhan and everyone else's thoughts are interrupted as a figure appears outside the door again.
It's a woman.
Unlike most of the people present, who are dressed in modern attire, she wears a colorful silk skirt, concealing her figure's curves. Only her calm and serene eyes are visible, and her originally beautiful face is covered by a veil.
Chen Zhan sees her, and everyone else does too.
Some of those who know her stand up:
"Lord Cloud Saint."
Indeed, the person who has arrived is the Cloud Saint, who had made an appointment with Su Ping.
The Cloud Saint nods slightly and looks at Cheng Dong, who hasn't asked about yesterday's visit yet, and says:
"Cloud Saint, the Mad Saint has already gone up. Su Ping is here today."
"Thank you."
...
"My apologies, Senior Mad Saint, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. I was meditating, which caused me to be a little late. Please forgive my tardiness. You could have informed me of your arrival beforehand."
Su Ping looks at the person in front of him and speaks up immediately.
Wu Kuang glances at Zhang Lan, who stands calmly behind Su Ping, and then smiles, revealing his metallic teeth:
"No need to be polite. I just returned from the Western Desert Province. I heard that you, the renowned genius breeder, have finally arrived in the Imperial Capital, so I rushed back.
Although you already know, let me introduce myself. I am Wu Kuang, the Mad Saint of the Dragon Kingdom. I specialize in mechanical companion beasts and am also the president of the Mechanical Association.
This is Zhang Lan, the vice-president of the Mechanical Association!"
Wu Kuang points to the person beside him, and she extends her hand:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Su Ping."
"Hello, Vice-President Zhang."
Su Ping politely shakes her hand.
Zhang Lan speaks up directly:
"Su Ping, this time, the president and I have come because we heard that you have a very special mechanical companion beast core and have developed an interesting product called the Dream Core. We wonder if you could enlighten us..."
It's clear that the purpose of the Mechanical Association representatives' visit was hinted at by the Holy Dragon Legend yesterday.
Even Su Ping didn't expect that Fatty would have such a huge appeal.
Su Ping didn't pretend, but directly summoned Fatty's true form.
Instantly, these two old guys, who looked quite aged and held high positions, were captivated and took Fatty's core, their mechanical hands covered in calluses and burns, into their hands.
At that moment, Fatty's cry also reached Su Ping through their soul contract:
"Damn it, stop it, waaah... Fatty's not clean anymore! I'm sorry, Iris, Lemon, Erin, Xiao, Bobo..."
Su Ping's forehead was covered in black lines.
Just as Su Ping was about to lose his patience, these two finally stopped, and Wu Kuang, with his mechanical prosthetic eye emitting laser beams, said, "Su Ping, do you know how your pet was born? We now suspect that it might be related to the research project of the Mechanical Association."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, "What project?"
Wu Kuang didn't answer directly but instead played coy, "You know how mechanical pets are born, right? The birth of mechanical pets mainly requires a special resource called the 'Golden Elemental Core' to inject electromagnetic information and awaken them!"
Su Ping nodded.
The Golden Elemental Core, it sounds similar to the Golden Heart of the Five Elements, but in reality, they are quite different.
In fact, calling it a resource is a bit of a stretch, but some people do treat it as a resource, and it is indeed a monarch-level metallic resource.
However, this thing is more about the birth of elemental spirits of the same attribute.
And it's the birth of high-level elemental spirits.
Compared to low-level elemental spirits like the 'Fire Spirit' that Xiao belongs to, the Golden Elemental Core gives birth to high-level Golden Elemental Spirits, and their racial potential is as high as the monarch-level Great Spirits.
After transforming into a mechanical core, the core's potential level decreases, but it can be improved by combining mechanical body blueprints to raise the limit and even complete evolution.
This is why the value of mechanical cores is so high, and why mechanical pets are considered luxury pets in the new era.
Even the basic mechanical cores have a success rate when activated with Golden Elemental Cores, and the cost of failure is immense.
"The Mechanical Association has always been trying to reduce the birth cost of mechanical cores, and the most important thing is to find other ways to create mechanical cores. Not only in our Dragon Kingdom, I believe the Lion Kingdom, Eagle Kingdom, and others are also doing the same.
It's even possible that the Eagle Kingdom, the most developed in mechanical pets, might have already achieved some technological breakthroughs in this aspect."
Wu Kuang continued, not denying the enemy's strength at all.
Su Ping nodded.
But he didn't speak, still waiting for the other person to finish.
"According to our speculation, the Golden Elemental Core needed for mechanical cores, besides being formed innately, can also be cultivated and nurtured! This can also promote the grading of mechanical cores!"
"Hmm?"
Su Ping frowned, "Mechanical core grading?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liushujiub.com~~
"That's right, grading based on the level of metal resources the core is born from!"
Speaking of this, it's already very clear.
The so-called grading of mechanical cores is just a lead-in.
The focus of attention is on this aspect.
"So, you mean, Fatty's birth wasn't from an ordinary mechanical core, but it's very likely that it was born from a metal with a spiritual attribute, and then through mechanical activation, it became like this?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"That's right! We've been searching for Golden Elemental Cores with different innate attributes to create unique mechanical pet cores, and Su Ping, your pet might just be from this!"
Wu Kuang said.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.
He remembered that the first time he met Fatty in his 'Black Blood' sports car, Fatty had given him an ambiguous answer.
Perhaps the metal it was born from was different.
It has to be said, Su Ping was indeed intrigued.
"The Golden Elemental Core itself is a high-level resource born from metal ore veins, but their essence must be different, right?"
"Of course, they are different.
(End of Chapter)
In the tranquil atmosphere of the Dragon Gate, a handsome and dignified figure, Su Ping, was engaged in a conversation with two individuals, Zhang Lan and Wu Kuang. The topic of their discussion revolved around the evolution of Dragon Pets and the potential breakthroughs in mechanical core research.
Zhang Lan, with a hint of embarrassment, shared examples of the association's attempts to create Monarch-level metal cores, specifically the Wan Ren Water Iron and Yuan Magnetic Golden cores. Su Ping's interest was piqued by the mention of the Yuan Magnetic Golden core, which was born from a metal core and possessed a stronger electromagnetic force.
Wu Kuang, feeling a bit awkward, continued the conversation by bringing up the Tongling-level Xuan Rock Steel core, which was also a gold attribute core but had a higher affinity with water attributes.
"For instance, the Tongling-level Xuan Rock Steel core, which is also a gold attribute core, but it has a higher affinity with water attributes. The mechanical core born from it, although also a gold attribute, will definitely have a portion of water attribute affinity. As for the Yuan Magnetic Golden core, purely because it is the most suitable mineral vein for awakening the mechanical core. It is also the first discovered metal core that transformed into a mechanical core, and it is the original metal core that led to the discovery of the mechanical core transformation," Wu Kuang explained, his words carrying a hint of helplessness.
Su Ping's heart stirred at these words.
"Does the Mechanical Association possess the technology to actively birth a gold element core from metal resources?" Su Ping asked, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became slightly awkward. Wu Kuang, feeling helpless, explained, "In this regard, the association has been continuously attempting. I believe that the day of success is not far off.
For example, the association has been trying the most among these two types, and it is also the type that is closest to success. It is also the type that the association has the most attempts and is the closest to success," Zhang Lan added, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.
"Oh? May I inquire about what you are talking about?" Su Ping asked, his curiosity piqued.
"It's not a big deal. The Yuan Magnetic Golden core, born from a metal core, is because the Mechanical Association has discovered a secret realm with abundant Wan Ren Water Iron ore veins, and from this, the birth of the gold element core is not uncommon.
The completed activated mechanical core will more efficiently fuse with water attribute metal resources, making it the most suitable foundation core for ocean mechanical pets.
As for the Yuan Magnetic Golden core, it is purely because it is the most suitable core for awakening the mechanical core. It is also the original metal core that led to the discovery of the mechanical core transformation," Wu Kuang further elaborated, his expression serious.
"Then, what about the activation method? Is it necessary for Su Ping to go inside the association to observe and guide?" Su Ping asked, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Wu Kuang, feeling helpless, sighed, "In this aspect, the association has also been attempting. I believe that this day is not far off.
For example, the association has been attempting the most among these two types, and it is also the type that is closest to success. It is also the type that the association has the most attempts and is the closest to success," Zhang Lan reiterated, his expression carrying a hint of disappointment.
"Oh? May I inquire about what you are talking about?" Su Ping asked, his curiosity piqued.
At this moment, a radiant light seemed to pierce through the awkward atmosphere, capturing Su Ping's attention.
This situation made him think of the Wan Ling Record, and at this moment, the record that had been silent suddenly flipped open.
The record that emerged from the bottom of Su Ping's heart was the Gold Element Sprite, which was also the mechanical core record. It was the record of the mechanical core that had been almost overlooked by Su Ping!
This was a special prompt in the daily record:
【Discovering the current mutation cause of the Gold Element Sprite, the Wan Ling Record can be used for analysis. According to daily interaction, further obtain intelligence to reduce analysis experience value, current analysis experience value required: 10,000! Current record experience: 1921/2000】
As Su Ping sensed the feedback from the Wan Ling Record, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Although he had quite a few record experiences with the Gold Element Sprite, after all, he interacted with Fatty every day, and most importantly, every time he came into contact with a mechanical core that transformed into the Dream Heart, he would gain a meager two points of record experience value.
Over time, these experiences accumulated, and now it was still acceptable.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Wan Ling Record, which had been silent all this time, finally took action to analyze the reason for Fatty's mutation.
The mutation cause of Qing Long was the Green Yao Spring Ginseng.
The mutation cause of Qian Yi was the Sword Intent Origin and Soul Seed.
Then, what was the mutation cause of Fatty?
It seemed that this conversation with the Mechanical Association was not entirely pointless. Was it really time to visit the Mechanical Association and see for himself?
With this thought in mind, Su Ping and the two individuals, Zhang Lan and Wu Kuang, continued their conversation, albeit with slightly less enthusiasm. Hearing that Su Ping did not bring the Dream Heart Helmet this time, the two individuals couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. However, upon hearing that the helmet would be mailed over the next day, they once again promised:
"We will come early tomorrow morning."
Based on the Dream Heart, the Mechanical Association wanted to establish a cooperation with the Ping Yun Company.
As for the nature of this cooperation, Su Ping could more or less guess.
After all, even the Holy Dragon Legend had spoken about it.
However, Su Ping wasn't particularly interested in these matters.
As the two individuals left, Su Ping welcomed the arrival of Yun Sheng, who had been waiting alongside them.
For the first time interacting with this Saint Spirit existence, Su Ping felt a sense of goodwill towards her. Yun Sheng, with her gentle and ethereal temperament, was indeed a Saint Spirit realm being.
In fact, it was indeed so.
Yun Sheng did not rush to inquire about Little Green Sprout.
Instead, she asked about the arrival of the Mad Saint.
Su Ping shared his dilemma, expressing his confusion about how to assemble and evolve this Spirit-attribute mechanical core.
However, what Su Ping did not expect was that this Saint Spirit Beastmaster, who hailed from the Dragon City Emerald Dreamland, would truly offer him a solution that went beyond his imagination and cognition.
