Chapter 392: Fatty's Limit! Perfecting Mechanical Breeding!
Chapter 392: Fatty's Limit! Perfecting Mechanical Breeding!
It is often said that those involved in a situation may be confused, while observers can see things more clearly.
Many times, a single word from an outsider can help those trapped in a dead-end or fixated on a minor issue to find a new path.
This was the case for Cloud Saint at this moment.
After learning about Su Ping's troubles and confusion, Cloud Saint offered a very constructive and bold idea.
Looking at Su Ping, who was deep in thought, Cloud Saint smiled slightly, "Su Ping, you may not know much about psychic-type companion beasts, but they are indeed like that. You've fallen into a misconception.
Elemental and necromantic companion beasts, in a sense, are essentially the same. Psychic-type, on the other hand, is a special attribute. While it's different from the categories of necromantic and elemental types, it's a unique companion beast attribute!
Therefore, the body of a psychic-type companion beast is not as important! Fairy Dragon, after ascending to the Imperial rank as an adult, will abandon its previous body and become a completely spiritualized elemental beast!"
Indeed, Cloud Saint's suggestion was simple.
Since Fatty couldn't merge with other mechanical bodies using the mechanical core, why keep trying in that direction?
Why not change the approach and allow Fatty's mental consciousness to break free from the limitations of the mechanical category?
Not only would this stop the attempts to merge with other mechanical bodies, but it would also allow Fatty's mental consciousness to completely detach from the mechanical core.
This theory was completely contrary to the composition principles of mechanical companion beasts! However, it must be said that Su Ping's heart stirred at this idea.
Before preparing for the provincial exam, Su Ping had indeed done some tests in his free time.
The main focus was Fatty's control over other mechanical cores.
He had tried this aspect, but the results were quite helpless.
First, an incompletely awakened mechanical core has subpar intelligence, essentially a basic version of artificial intelligence, and it must be given clear instructions to execute tasks.
Using this type of mechanical core to create a Dream Core Helmet with Fatty as the center of the connection is indeed feasible.
However, if it's placed in a mature combat mechanical companion beast and connected through a local network, there will be many troublesome issues.
The combat efficiency and flexibility are poor.
It can only perform the most basic functions.
In this situation, adapting to high-frequency combat is impossible.
Because any normal-intelligence companion beast controlled by a beastmaster wouldn't fear a living target.
At the same time, with this local network connection, Fatty can only simultaneously connect and control up to three mechanical beasts.
In the end, it's just a low-level elite-grade psychic entity.
Su Ping had already realized that it would be very difficult for Fatty to achieve any significant results in the mechanical legion, at least not in the current stage, before the provincial exam.
Therefore, the most important task for Su Ping's trip to the Imperial Capital was to solve Fatty's evolution problem, even more important than the final trial of the professional assessment.
The insight he gained from Meng Huangliang was about super skills, which were unrelated to evolution and had a strong connection to Meng Huangliang's Dream Entry. Su Ping wasn't sure if he could find a way to obtain Meng Huangliang's breeding method for Dream Entry.
Thus, Cloud Saint's suggestion was indeed a rare opportunity for Su Ping to try something new.
"Of course, even Fairy Dragons, during their growth, briefly have bodies. This is because their weak psychic energy and young souls cannot be fully exposed.
At the same time, a physical form can better prevent unnecessary waste of psychic energy.
There's no rush for this matter. Even if you make a choice and prepare, you'll need to create a temporary 'residence' that can accommodate your companion beast's spiritual soul.
Undoubtedly, the mechanical core has become a hindrance to your companion beast's growth. To enhance it, you must find other evolutionary channels.
Whether we can succeed or not, I don't know. I'm just offering you a suggestion.
You do need to make a choice. Think about it carefully.
When you've made up your mind, you can find me, and I can help you find a way to extract your companion beast's spiritual soul. I called you today mainly to discuss the Flame Lord..."
This was Cloud Saint's primary purpose.
Unfortunately, Su Ping wasn't in the mood for this discussion at the moment.
After chatting for a while, learning about some past situations, and summoning the slightly displeased Little Flame, Cloud Saint left.
Su Ping didn't rush to let the remaining visitors in but instead sank into deep thought.
Then, he looked at Fatty:
"Little guy, do you want to change your body? Or do you want to abandon this body? Did you hear what we were discussing just now?"
"I heard, Master. Must I do this? Fatty doesn't really want to become something else... Moreover, I can sense that unless I convert my psychic energy into network signals,
If not, it would be difficult to detach from the body and become independent. My strength is too weak, and my psychic energy is also too weak... Once I separate from the Mechanical Core, I might just disperse with a gust of wind."
Su Ping's words caused Fei Fei to pause.
He had never been the type of Beastmaster who made decisions on his own.
The evolution of a Companion Beast also required considering the Beast's own thoughts.
However, for Qian Yi and Xiao Qing, these two little guys didn't care about changes in their appearance as long as their strength increased.
But Fei Fei was still different. When he first met this little guy in that car named 'Black Blood', this little thing was already special.
Although being special couldn't be eaten, many times, by insisting on the Companion Beast's choice, it would allow the Companion Beast to go further.
Moreover, Fei Fei was right, and Yun Sheng was also right; this was dangerous!
If it failed, although Fei Fei had a Soul Contract and wouldn't die, if he couldn't advance, then he would lose a Soul Contract slot, and Fei Fei's life would be over.
So, at this moment, Su Ping hesitated once again.
At the same time, he made a firm decision in his heart!
Damn it! After contracting with Xiao Huo Yan, I must never choose a Mutant Companion Beast as a Contract Beast again; it's too damn troublesome!
Yes! That's right!
Even if that so-called Time Attribute Mutant Dragon in Dragon City is amazing, I'll never choose it again!
Hey... wait, that's not necessarily true. Didn't that Candle Dragon say that the evolution of the Mutant Dragon seemed extremely simple?
Hmm... I'll see.
Su Ping sighed and said, "Fine, let me think about it!"
He did need to think about it again because, regardless of anything else, he needed to find out the reason for Fei Fei's mutation.
However, this thought encountered some twists and turns the next day.
A day passed quickly.
Su Ping didn't disappoint the remaining visitors who had come to see him.
Even the originally planned visit to see Meng Huangliang was canceled.
He received all the visitors who came.
Not everyone had a serious matter to discuss.
For example, that Breeder Association Councilor, the Ghost Dragon Breeder Base's Dong Muchun, came to visit under the pretext of bringing a white-robed intern Breeder who he probably wouldn't know the name of if not for this.
They agreed that after the final trial, Su Ping would go to the Ghost Dragon Breeder Base for a so-called 'inspection'.
For example, the big boss of Dragon Dynasty, the representative of the Origin Company from the Wang family, that old man who was old in age but not in heart, came not only to develop some potions and invest in the Pingyun Group but also to send Su Ping a few maids.
Su Ping rejected all of them, of course, in a polite manner.
For example, Chen Zhan, a peer of Su Ping's age, came to greet him and agreed to meet after the final trial to witness each other's Beast's strength, and then left.
The most important visitor was Huang Tianbing.
He had a good relationship with Su Ping.
Then, for over half an hour, he tearfully complained to Su Ping.
His words, both spoken and unspoken, asked Su Ping to pay attention to the Celestial Oversight Bureau's work again, and it would be best if Su Ping could cooperate.
Su Ping rarely made such a promise.
It wasn't that his relationship with Huang Tianbing was that good, but this matter greatly benefited Su Ping.
After the Monarch Rank, advancing to the next realm became relatively difficult. Su Ping indeed needed the space absorption ability of the Beastmaster Space to help him maintain his realm advancement and accumulate those space abilities.
Don't underestimate Su Ping's space; although the low-level fruits and vegetables produced there weren't significant, as the level increased and the space abilities accumulated, the Beastmaster Space would expand.
This work was organized and uploaded by the Liujiu Book Bar.
Su Ping could very well rely on the resources nurtured within his space to provide the necessary resources for the Ten Thousand Spirits Heart.
This was the confidence brought to him by the 'All Things Thrive' ability he gained after agreeing.
After Huang Tianbing left satisfied, Su Ping finally had some peace.
After sleeping in Dragon Dynasty for a night, the Dream Core mailed by Dong Muchun finally arrived.
This was also the source of Fei Fei's situation taking another unexpected turn.
"Fei Fei, is it really impossible?"
Three Dream Core helmets were placed here.
Two were set aside, and at this moment, Su Ping held Fei Fei's Mechanical Core, his expression grim.
"My psychic energy connection... has reached its limit. If so many Dream Core consciousnesses enter the Dream Core world simultaneously, it will shock the Dream Core world...
It might even cause the Dream Core to enter chaos... unless my level increases."
Yes, after approximately awakening fifty Dream Core helmets, Fei Fei couldn't awaken the Dream Core again.
This was within Su Ping's expectations, but he didn't think this day would arrive so soon.
Even being able to awaken so many was due to Fei Fei's network capacity on the internet.
Even though the internet is vast and limitless, Fatty's psychic energy is still limited. The Dream Core itself is a creation of Fatty's, formed through the vast network of data.
Although there are algorithms in place, Fatty's psychic energy is still required to maintain it.
Undoubtedly, Fatty's improvement is necessary.
Now is the time to take action.
He must find a solution.
Once again, he turned to the Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog, specifically the Gold Element Sprite's catalog. He analyzed his mutated companion's cause, and the required 10,000 catalog experience points hadn't decreased by even half.
Ten thousand catalog experience points are equivalent to one thousand universal experience points.
Su Ping had some, but not enough. He could scrape together enough, considering the paper figures earned hundreds of catalog experience points daily.
However, there might be many occasions in the future where these points would be needed. Regardless, it's best to save as much as possible!
Su Ping exhaled a sigh of relief. Just then, Long Er's voice sounded from outside the door:
"Su Ping, Mad Saint is here again. Should I let him in?"
"Yes!"
Su Ping quickly stood up, placed the Dream Core helmet he had prepared for Meng Huangliang into his Beastmaster space, and carried the helmet with him as he stepped outside.
The president of the Mechanical Association, who had arrived the day before, was undoubtedly a powerful figure among the Holy Spirit Beastmasters. Mad Saint immediately noticed the Dream Core:
"This is the Dream Core, haha. The one we bought from your company before was broken after we opened it, but now I can finally see it again..."
Su Ping's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said:
"Mad Saint, let's not chat here today. How about we go to the Mechanical Association instead? I want to see the experiments on the birth of mechanical cores. As for the Dream Core, you can research it at your leisure."
Wu Kuang was taken aback but then nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's go."
Mechanical Association.
Su Ping had visited a branch of the association in the Magic Capital before, but this was the main headquarters.
Its grandeur and liveliness were no less impressive than the branch in the Magic Capital. Unfortunately, Su Ping had no mood to appreciate the sights. He hurriedly followed Mad Saint and several experimental staff to a laboratory.
The Mechanical Association had numerous laboratories, even rivaling the Beastmaster Association.
These laboratories were even larger, and it might be more fitting to describe them as 'armories' or 'smelting rooms'.
"The Gold Element Core is born when the element's energy reaches an extreme, nurtured by the abundant energy of Blue Star, and fused with time.
Therefore, to accelerate the birth of Gold Element Cores, one must master the extreme utilization of energy and the corresponding metal resource.
The easiest-to-obtain ore is Yuan Magnetic Shocking Gold, as mentioned before. The association's method involves Yuan Magnetic Shocking Gold, combined with a special high-grade magical potion, the 'Gold Element Energy Concentrated Liquid'.
Simultaneously, they pair it with the currently compatible resource, Life Spring Water. After soaking for seven days, there's a chance that every twenty pieces of Yuan Magnetic Shocking Gold will give birth to a Gold Element Core..."
Wu Kuang briefly explained the so-called birth of the Gold Element Core.
Obviously, the birth rate and the resources consumed were not as cost-effective as directly purchasing Gold Element Cores.
Clearly, this wasn't a successful plan.
However, it had great reference value.
If Yuan Magnetic Shocking Gold is a high-grade metal vein, what about low-grade ones?
If one could birth resources from low-grade metals, similar to the Gold Element Core's transformation into a mechanical core, it would be a significant step forward in mechanical beast research.
Su Ping didn't have time to think about this now. In this laboratory, there are countless cabinets filled with various ores and metals soaking in Life Spring Water.
Obviously, the association's attempts in this regard are correct.
Just then, as Su Ping opened a cabinet and saw a piece of Yuan Magnetic Shocking Gold soaked in the magical potion and Life Spring Water, the Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog reacted, and there were indeed two anomalies.
The anomaly that Su Ping paid the most attention to was the change on the Gold Element Sprite's catalog log:
【Further intelligence acquisition reduces the experience value used for analysis. Analyzing the current cause of the mutated psychic-type mechanical sprite companion beast requires 6,000 catalog experience points!】
6,000! That's still quite a lot!
The next second, Su Ping's consciousness appeared on the Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog, and another prompt appeared:
This prompt also came from the Gold Element Sprite:
【Discovered catalog 'Gold Element Sprite' mutation breeding method: Mechanical Sprite Mutation Breeding.】
【Discovered 'Mechanical Sprite Mutation Breeding' breeding secret has certain defects, willing to spend 1,000 catalog experience points to perfect it?】
(Note: Perfecting this breeding secret will further enhance the understanding of mechanical sprite mutations, greatly reducing the experience value consumed for others!)
Feeling the prompt from the Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog, Su Ping's heart relaxed.
Since it's like this, there's no need to hesitate! Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog! Perfect!
