Chapter 393: Analysis! A Simple Path to Improvement!

Chapter 393: Analysis! A Simple Path to Improvement!

A thousand points of experience from the Beast Codex vanished in an instant.

A colorful light flashed on the Gold Element Sprite's entry.

The next moment, the desired text appeared on the entry:

【Beast Codex: Gold Element Sprite】

【A special foundational elemental sprite-type companion beast, born from an elemental core, with a myriad of forms and exceptional growth capabilities. However, due to the rarity of gold element condensation, while gold element cores are more common, gold element core-born elemental sprites are extremely rare.

Its racial potential is Elite Stage Three or higher, with racial skills including Elemental Body, Golden Spear Technique, and Golden Heart.】

【Current Codex Level: 2 (987/2000)】

Known evolution path and special cultivation:

【Mechanical Sprite Awakening 1: Using a gold element core, activate with modern electromagnetic force, and utilize data knowledge to forcefully awaken the elemental core's wisdom. However, the drawback is the inability to manifest an Elemental Body and corresponding racial skills, but it can instead facilitate mechanical cultivation.】

【Mechanical Sprite Awakening 2: Primarily using metal-class resources, along with high-energy potions of the same grade as the metal-class resources, life-class resources of the same grade, and corresponding-level soul fragments, to stimulate the transformation of metal-class resources into basic mechanical cores.

However, this awakening method significantly increases the success rate of infusing electromagnetic force and information flow to awaken spiritual intelligence and self-awareness. The time required for stimulation depends on the initial grade of the metal-class resources. The consumption of metal resources and corresponding amounts of other resources for all grades are as follows...】

(Note: In the second awakening method, mechanical sprites cannot freely combine various mechanical materials as in the first method, and are more suitable for metal attribute categories and higher-grade resource fusions.)



(Note 2: In the second awakening method, the initial grade of the awakened metal-class resource affects the upper limit of the mechanical sprite's talent.)



...

Mechanical Secondary Awakening!

The thousand points of experience from the Beast Codex solved the main issue that the Mechanic Beast Association was researching.

This was indeed due to the Beast Codex's incredibly effective nature.

However, it was also because the Mechanic Beast Association was already very close to the correct answer.

High-energy potions and life-based resources for immersion.

In fact, the only difference was the dosage of the resources used and the not-so-precious undead resource: soul fragments.

A thousand points of experience meant little to Su Ping at this point, but he found the value of the corresponding refined cultivation method quite reasonable.

Initially, refining the Crown Wolf Emperor and the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf required just over a thousand points of experience from the Beast Codex.

However, for Su Ping, refining the method of mechanical awakening was just an unexpected gain.

Perhaps for the Dragon Nation's Mechanic Beast Association, nothing was more important than bringing down the mechanical core from the altar of expensive companion beasts.

But for Su Ping, Fei Fei's situation was his primary concern.

As expected, after Su Ping mastered the secondary awakening method of the Gold Element Sprite, the experience points required to address Fei Fei's mutation were also reduced.

【To further acquire intelligence and reduce the experience points required for analysis, the experience points needed to analyze the current mutation of the Mental Clan mechanical sprite companion beast are 4000 points.】

All in all, although only a thousand points of experience were reduced, it was still a significant amount.

Su Ping couldn't afford to ignore it.

Although his heart was bleeding, if the Beast Codex couldn't provide him with any new insights, he would have to try President Yun Sheng's suggestion.

Su Ping took a deep breath and converted the six thousand one hundred points of experience from the Timber Wolf and Origami Man entries into six hundred and ten points of general experience.

Then, at a disproportionate rate of five to one, he exchanged it for three thousand and fifty points of experience for the Gold Element entry,

Adding the remaining experience points from Fei Fei, he barely managed to gather the required four thousand points of experience.

Without hesitation, he immediately selected the option to analyze Fei Fei's mutation in the Beast Codex.

Zhang Lan glanced at President Wu Kuang, who wanted to say something, but the Mad Saint shook his head, stopping him.

In their eyes, Su Ping's behavior was peculiar.

He lay on the 'fish tank' of Yuan Magnetic Shock Gold, holding on tightly.

This action had been going on for five minutes.

However, they wisely refrained from interrupting.

In their eyes, it was clear that the young man's genius sometimes saved them from countless hardships.

However, they were unaware that Su Ping wasn't having a sudden realization at that moment.

Or perhaps, the realization they wanted him to have, he had already achieved long ago.

At that moment, Su Ping was just waiting.

The wait seemed exceptionally long, but ultimately, the power of the Beast Codex was undeniable.

In the log below the Gold Elemental Sprite, the cause of Fei Fei's mutation was quickly discovered.

【Mechanical Sprite Mutation Direction: High-Frequency Mental Extension Mutation】

【The special metal ore vein, 'Fantasy Stone', of the Holy Spirit rank, when sufficiently energized in the unique Mystic Domain trait 'Summit of Ten Thousand Mountains', gives birth to a life form with an extremely powerful Mental Clan talent. Upon natural awakening, it can directly grow into an Imperial-rank potential Elemental Sprite.

However, because it was mistaken for an ordinary Gold Elemental Core, the process of mechanical sprite wisdom awakening caused its spiritual essence to be completely suppressed by the mechanical body with an electromagnetic core.

At the same time, due to its powerful innate mental talent, it is also incompatible with other mechanical bodies.

The only thing worth mentioning is that this mutant has a strange compatibility with other unawakened mechanical sprite cores.】

Silence.

Even with Su Ping's current status, upon learning of Fei Fei's mutation, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Alongside the silence, there was also regret.

Fantasy Stone.

It's a top-tier Mental Clan resource.

And it's extremely rare.

In this situation, the elemental core that was born could, upon metamorphosis into an elemental pet, become an Imperial-rank potential Elemental Sprite at the very least, as he said.

And it's very likely that it's a dual-elemental core of gold and mental energy.

Unfortunately, it was mistaken for an ordinary gold elemental core and ruined.

It became a 'waste' that couldn't even connect with a mechanical body, like it is now.

But... wait a moment.

Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed as he carefully examined the last sentence of the mutation analysis for Fei Fei in the Omnipotent Beast Codex.

This mutant has a strange compatibility with other unawakened mechanical sprite cores.

What does this mean...

Of course, Su Ping understood the literal meaning of the words.

Su Ping thought carefully.

He suddenly realized that he might not have let Fei Fei truly connect with the other mechanical cores.

Even if they did, they were the ones that failed to awaken.

After all, only these failed awakenings are relatively cheaper.

As for the successfully awakened mechanical cores, they already have self-awareness and wisdom, so there's no reason for Fei Fei to control them.

The unawakened mechanical cores are just pure gold elemental cores connected to electromagnetic conduction, essentially incomplete, with no meaning or value.

But at this moment, the analysis of the mutation cause in the Omnipotent Beast Codex made Su Ping a little unresponsive.

However, it must be said that this hint was like a bright light, quickly flashing in Su Ping's mind.

Because he suddenly thought of something.

In the creation of the Dream Heart, Fei Fei's ability to quickly connect with the other mechanical cores and imprint the Dream Heart's mark, this skill, he previously thought, was because of Fei Fei's powerful mental energy.

But thinking about it, it's not that simple.

Controlling mechanical cores like this is very, very difficult.

At this thought, Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly.

He finally found another way to test.

Su Ping suddenly opened his eyes, no longer confused or lost, his eyes full of brightness.

Why didn't I think of trying this before? Fei Fei's greatest difference is right here.

He turned his head, even startling Wu Kuang and Zhang Lan.

"Su Ping, what's going on?"

This Mad Saint has had little contact with Su Ping, and only heard about him from others.

He really didn't know what was going on with Su Ping.

Su Ping naturally wouldn't explain anything to him. He said:

"Senior Mad Saint, in the Mechanic Beast Association, are there any unawakened mechanical cores with information injected but not yet awakened? Can I use them for some experiments?"

The Mad Saint was taken aback.

That's not right.

Even if you have some ideas, experiments shouldn't use completed mechanical cores.

Shouldn't you use other metal resources for production?

What kind of experiment is this?

The electromagnetic mechanical pets of gold elements have been around for a hundred years, so it's hard to imagine there could be new ways to play with them.

However, although puzzled, the Mad Saint, as a Holy Spirit-rank Mechanical Beastmaster and the president of the Mechanic Beast Association, agreed.

Su Ping didn't have time to praise his generosity.

Ten unawakened mechanical cores, yet to be officially awakened but already electromagnetic, were sent to Su Ping.

Looking at these spheres, almost identical to Fei Fei on the surface, Su Ping's heart raced again.

"If you want to conduct experiments, the Mechanic Beast Association has a laboratory. If you feel it's not sufficient here, you can go to the Beast Cultivator Association." Zhang Lan kindly reminded from the side.

Despite this, both he and the Mad Saint seemed to be holding back, clearly curious about the experiment Su Ping intended to conduct after just one visit to the Mechanic Beast Association. What could this brilliant talent have in store for them? However, it was a taboo to observe another cultivator's experiments without their permission.

For ordinary Companion Beast cultivation, Su Ping wouldn't mind having extra help.

Unfortunately, Fei Fei was a Soul Contract Companion Beast, and it was evident that he had some secrets. Naturally, Su Ping couldn't invite the two seniors.

However, it had to be said that without their help, Su Ping would have consumed much more experience to analyze Fei Fei's mutation.

With this in mind, Su Ping held the ten Mechanical Cores and left the highest laboratory of the Mechanic Beast Association with the two seniors. After some thought, he carefully chose his words: "Seniors, I've also observed the process of mechanical awakening.

I have some immature suggestions here. You can listen and try them out. If you think I'm wrong, feel free to correct me, as I indeed have limited knowledge about Mechanical Beast cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuang and Zhang Lan exchanged glances.

"It's fine, Su Ping. Go ahead."

If a small Overlord Rank Beastmaster dared to offer advice in this field, they would have slapped him away. But since it was Su Ping, it was a different matter.

"It's like this. The birth of Mechanical Beasts is, in essence, an extension of the Gold Elemental Core.

The Mechanical Core itself also has sufficient life force and a thin soul as its foundation.

I think the experiments here have satisfied all other conditions, but there's a lack in soul infusion.

When you conduct experiments, try adding some soul fragments. It might increase the chances of a Gold Elemental Core's birth."

As expected, after Su Ping's suggestion, both seniors fell into deep thought.

Su Ping smiled slightly, feeling he had provided enough guidance.

He wanted to share the entire plan with them, but it was indeed too incredible and over-the-top.

After resolving the soul fragment issue, the Mechanic Beast Association could slowly adjust the dosage. It might take up to a month, but that should be sufficient.

When the time came, the birth of Mechanical Beasts would likely explode, no longer representing the ultimate luxury as it did now.

Su Ping took a deep breath at this thought.

Putting aside everything else, the potential significant price drop for Mechanical Beasts in the future was enough reason for him to ensure Fei Fei's evolution.

After all, with more Dream Hearts, their meditation progress would also improve.

After bidding farewell to the Mad Saint and Vice President Zhang, who were deep in thought, Su Ping, guided by an attendant, entered a private laboratory with the ten Mechanical Cores.

In fact, most of the experimental equipment was unnecessary.

Su Ping only needed to do one thing.

He summoned Fei Fei and took out the unawakened Mechanical Core.

Looking at Fei Fei, he said, "Fei Fei, infuse your mental power into this Mechanical Core and see how it feels."

Fei Fei didn't speak but rotated his core, instantly sticking it to the blank Mechanical Core.

The next moment, a never-before-seen scene unfolded before Su Ping's eyes.

Fei Fei's Mechanical Core seemed to partially melt into the blank core.

"Master, it feels so strange. I..."

Bang!

The two Mechanical Cores collided.

Like two magnets, they stuck together firmly.

Then, these two magnets seemed to exert force simultaneously, spinning rapidly.

The speed of rotation increased, becoming so fast that Su Ping could only see a faint afterimage.

Finally, the spinning slowed down.

To Su Ping's surprise, the two Mechanical Cores had transformed into something else—a slightly oval, egg-shaped object.

Was this... a fusion?

What surprised Su Ping even more was that two faint rays of light appeared on Fei Fei's Mechanical Core.

It wasn't the light of evolution, but it was close.

One light indicated Fei Fei's level increase, reaching the Elite Third Rank.

The other light was undoubtedly the light of skill enlightenment.

So, this was Fei Fei's true path to improvement? After all this time spent scratching his head and contemplating, he was almost ready to perform brain surgery on Fei Fei, but he couldn't find the right approach.

Could it be this simple?
