He opened the box and took out a Q version baby angel. This thing looked about two years old, with short blue hair and a white collar of unknown meaning around its neck. There was also a pair of blue mini wings behind it. The whole image looked like a large doll or figurine.

"Oh, it's so cute. After it's activated, how can I bear to send it to hell to work?"

Lu Ran’s conscience didn’t last for a few seconds, and he began to disassemble the other person’s head according to the instructions and found the smart chip.

Then, he took out the epic enhancement card of the best resources that exploded in the legendary secret realm, directly touched the smart chip, and showed a painful expression. He didn't expect that the best resources that just exploded would be used up so soon... He hoped that this enhancement would be valuable and would allow him to gain huge benefits in this breakthrough in the secret realm.

[Do you want to strengthen the research mechanical angel (unactivated) parts and smart chips? ]

[After strengthening, the quality of the smart chip will rise from 'rare' to 'epic'. ]

"yes."

Lu Ran just felt that the resources exploded in the Infinite City were really magical. It would be better if there were more epic enhancement cards. This thing is much more useful than the rare enhancement card. Maybe it can be used directly on the pet like this time, such as removing the rare eye of the Dark Crow, enhancing it to the epic level, and then reinstalling it through surgery. The resources that dropped by itself can be strengthened and then used, which is much more adaptable than directly taking external resources to strengthen itself.

The various resources they have are only at the rare level, and there is obviously still a certain distance from the epic level. Currently in Lu Ran's team, only Ga Liudaohua has the ability to produce resources above the epic level.

"You've already won at the starting line before you're even born. You're really ahead by a huge margin. After you're born, you must repay everyone!" After Lu Ran finished strengthening, he reinstalled the mechanical angel, and then pressed the activation button on the collar according to the instructions.

The next moment, the mechanical angel suddenly opened its red eyes. In its eyes, densely packed light-colored digital symbols were flowing, which was extremely mysterious.

After Lu Ran activated it, the mechanical angel slowly opened its mouth, making an emotionless voice.

"Fire Source Research uses angel-type intelligent mechanical life to serve you. Please enter the power-on key."

"1908943016." Lu Ran took a look at the key card inside the box and spoke.

"Matching is successful. It is detected that parts of this product have been replaced. Do you want to perform a fit test?"

"yes."

"Testing...Testing completed, upgrade compatibility 1100%, product will have 18 properties undergoing qualitative changes, would you like to check in detail?"

“Oh my god.” Lu Ran was stunned. It was just a chip replacement. Why was the change so drastic? What does the upgrade compatibility of 1100% mean? I don’t have much education and don’t understand.

"Forget it, let's not check it and continue."

"Please enter the mechanic's fingerprint..."

Lu Ran reached out, grabbed the mechanical angel's hand, and began to record fingerprints.

"Please perform iris recognition authentication..."

Lu Ran looked into the eyes of the mechanical angel.

"Authentication completed."

"Please ask the mechanic to give this product a nice name!"

Lu Ran:? "You can give me a name, but it has to sound nice. Can I think you are making things difficult for me?"

“Should we name this product ‘It’s ok to give it a name, but it has to sound good? Can I take this as you making things difficult for me?’”

Lu Ran: ??? “No. 18.”

"I'll call you No. 18."

Lu Ran remembered that Death Gun once said that Fire Source Company had created a total of 18 angel-type mechanical life forms, and this one was the last one. In that case, just call it No. 18, which sounds just like the name of a robot.

"Should we name this product 'No. 18'?"

"Yes." Lu Ran finally confirmed.

"Naming successful, product activation in progress... Please wait... The mechanic can choose to contract this product during this process."

"Reminder, reminder, this product can only be contracted by a mechanic who has undergone fingerprint and iris authentication, otherwise it will self-destruct in resistance."

"Reminder, reminder, this product can only be contracted by the 'Special Beast Taming Space: Mechanical Space'."

"hint……"

Lu Ran scratched his head. Mechanical space? He actually forgot to ask Death Gun for this, but it was not a big problem.

Yes, Lu Ran planned to use the Beast Taming Space to contract this angel before completing the breakthrough mission and upgrading to a Level 5 Beast Tamer.

In this way, with his various beast taming skills and contract bonuses, this little angel can become even more powerful.

And when the contract card is issued, the worst that can happen is that you can terminate the contract and replace the card.

Unlike contract cards that cannot be terminated, the contract connection in the Beast Taming Space can be terminated unilaterally by the Beast Tamer. Although the Beast Tamer's spirit will suffer certain damage after the termination, and it will take time or top-grade spiritual resources to recover, Lu Ran certainly has no shortage of resources.

The only difficulty with the contract is that the beast-controlling space that was opened up by the divine deer for Lu Ran cannot currently contract mechanical pets. After all, this space was opened up with reference to Bai Lu's space, and Bai Lu's cultivation direction does not include mechanics, so she naturally will not transform the beast-controlling space into a place suitable for mechanical pets to live in.

But this is not a problem. Lu Ran is currently a student at the Mechanical University. In the mechanical age, it is easy for him to obtain the training method for the improved beast-taming space.

While Lu Ran was thinking, the mechanical angel was finally fully activated, because at this moment, when Lu Ran looked at her through the data eye, she was no longer a pile of mechanical materials, but a living "mechanical life".

[Race]: Mechanical Angel (Research Type)

This "birth" is not that "birth" because it is artificial. Even when it is just born, the mechanical angel seems to have a certain level of growth and a certain amount of accumulation.

However, if the mechanic wants to upgrade the level of the mechanical angel, he has to spend money to upgrade it.

The Fire Source Company only provides an initial level of 30 during the manufacturing process.

However, what surprised Lu Ran was that the mechanical angels, which were supposed to be a king race, were actually upgraded to a hegemonic race. Although they were only low-level hegemons, Lu Ran understood that it was the epic smart chip that played a role!

"Are you...my master?"

“Yes, yes, yes.” Lu Ran smiled and looked at the potato-like mechanical angel, saying, “Didn’t you record the iris? It’s still not clear.”

"Then why don't you contract me?"

The mechanical angel raised his head in confusion and looked at Lu Ran.

"No hurry." Lu Ran said, "Your master hasn't improved the mechanical space yet, let's talk about it in a few days."

"Oh, by the way, do you have any method to improve the mechanical space?"

The mechanical angel shook his head.

"No. 18 currently only has the mechanical knowledge of basic mechanics, elementary mechanics, intermediate mechanics, and advanced mechanics. It does not store any information on how a beastmaster can improve the mechanical space."

"Uh, it doesn't matter." Lu Ran touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, if you want to improve the growth level of mechanical life by research, you have to keep conducting research and improve your research ability in practice, right?"

"Yes." No. 18 nodded and said, "However, even though we are mechanical life forms, we still need to replenish our energy on time."

"What energy do you need?"

"Electricity. I need electricity."

"Oh, no problem. I have also contracted two generators. We can just let them generate electricity when the time comes."

[King of Death, Rainbow Dash: ? ? ]

“Good Master!”

"So, master, is there any task assigned to No. 18?" The mechanical angels were eager to try. Research was their instinct. There was no need for Lu Ran to take the initiative, she took the initiative to ask for research tasks.

"Let me think about it. I need a research result within 18 days."

"Next, I will give you three projects. See which one has the potential to succeed within 18 days, okay?" Lu Ran looked at her expectantly.

"No problem." No. 18 nodded heavily and said, "I will analyze it based on my existing mechanical theory knowledge, but the facilities and materials used in the research still need to be provided by the master."

"Sure." Lu Ran nodded, and then said: "Oh, by the way, after the end of the Elemental God Era, the rules of the world have changed, and elemental life cannot be born. I happen to have an elemental life as an experimental material for you. Can you create a mechanical device that can 'absorb elements' and generate 'elemental life'?"

Lu Ran suddenly thought that if this thing could be invented, the Divine Research Institute would definitely invite him to join the research!

After all, the Elemental God, the Beast God, and the Plant God are three eras that cannot be avoided in the history of Star and Moon. The disappearance of elemental life is related to the sealing of the elemental gods, but if you can go against the times and create elemental life, how is it different from the means of God!

“Ah???” However, Angel No. 18 looked at Lu Ran blankly.

"Is it difficult... Then let me think about it. Oh, can I create a soul evolution assisting device?"

"This device is like this. It can be a bracelet, a ring, or a pendant. The shape doesn't matter. But when humans wear it, the special energy it releases can stimulate the body, and people can have extremely strong control over their own souls, and even let their souls leave their bodies! Then, this technological device can also have a special strengthening effect on the soul. It can strengthen the fragile human soul to be the same as the undead life, and also master the ability to possess! Then, under the resonance of this technology, the human soul can be attached to pets, plants, and even mechanical life, and resonate and evolve with their souls! Here, I have a prop like the Soul Calming Stone that can knock out the soul, and a prop that can turn people into beasts for you to study... Doesn't it sound like a great invention?"

Lu Ran gave his own exclusive beast control technique blueprint to No. 18. If she could develop such a device, with the help of external forces, Lu Ran felt that his cultivation path would be much smoother...

Similarly, the soul, a research route related to the Dragon of Death and extremely mysterious, will definitely attract the attention of the Divine Research Institute! "Ah???" However, Angel No. 18 still looked at Lu Ran blankly.

Lu Ran: ??? “Baby, why can you only say ‘ah?’”

No. 18 said aggrievedly: "No, Master, you asked me to research these things within 18 days, are you sure..."

"Ahem, sorry, time is indeed a little tight, but we can do this. One of your predecessors has a special talent called the Hell Realm. You can go into the Hell Realm to do research. The flow of time will be different from the outside world. As long as you can withstand the baptism of time, 18 days in the outside world can be equivalent to 180 days in it. This way, you will have more time for research, right?"

"Ah?" Angel No. 18 still looked at Lu Ran blankly.

Liudaohua could hardly listen to Lu Ran's contract card. Although she was also a helper, she seemed to understand why the Mechanical Lord would launch the Omnic Crisis... This little mechanical angel was very excited at first and wanted to start research work, but Lu Ran, the capitalist, broke her down with just a few words...

Expanding this to the entire human population, the mechanical type must have endured even more oppression, and due to "system settings", they cannot resist like other pets.

“You feel stressed, don’t you?” Lu Ran sat down on the stone pier and said helplessly, “I have no choice. Time is too tight… Maybe after we leave this place, you can have a good rest for a while…”

“No——” Mechanical Angel No. 18 looked at Lu Ran with burning eyes.

"If I have enough time, I'm willing to give it a try! According to advanced mechanical theory, mechanical life is much more resistant to time acceleration and time deceleration than other species, and its perception of 'fatigue' is almost zero. As long as my predecessor who created the 'time field' doesn't feel tired, it will be fine! I'm just worried that it won't be able to bear it first."

Liudaohua: [Ah?]
