"Okay, okay, let's play it this way, eh?"

Liudaohua felt that she felt sorry for this little mechanical angel in vain. This guy seemed to be more stubborn than anyone else and even wanted to see where her limits were.

She, Liudaohua, had never been looked down upon like this before! "Master, did you only mention two research projects? There is one more?"

No. 18 continued to ask.

The first two projects seemed too outrageous to No. 18, and even if she was given enough time, they might not succeed.

She just hoped that the third research project that Lu Ran mentioned could go more normally.

"One more missing..."

"Let me think about it."

"Got it." Lu Ran showed a curious expression and said, "Do you know what Infinite City is?"

Liudaohua:?

“I don’t know.” No. 18 said.

"Let me tell you about our current situation..." Next, Lu Ran told No. 18 the information about Infinite City and breaking through the secret realm. Although No. 18 was just born, its ability to receive information far exceeds that of humans.

"So that's how it is. Infinite City is suspected to be related to the four great creation dragons. It's a super facility similar to the main god of online games." No. 18 was surprised.

Then, immediately afterwards, I had a bad feeling.

"Things like Beast Taming Skill Cards and Special Crystals were created by the Infinite City. Can you study the principles of their creation, and then use mechanical means to give me the ability to create skill cards and special crystals?"

"When the time comes, as long as we gather three special crystals, we can help the life form evolve."

"If we sell this to the beastmasters of the Star-Moon Federation, they will probably buy it even if it means they have to spend all their money. I remember they have been coveting the trait evolution of Blue Star for a long time."

No.18: ???

"Sure enough!" When Liudaohua heard it, he knew that Lu Ran wanted to kill this robot.

Is it reasonable? Is it reasonable to let her study the Infinite City?

She was just born!

"Master, let's talk about the machine that creates elemental life and the device that triggers soul evolution." No. 18 said.

“Is that so…” Lu Ran nodded.

It seems that No. 18 is more interested in the other two studies.

"I have a small request!"

No. 18 just finished speaking and continued: "Master, if you want to do the research you mentioned as soon as possible, I may need a top-notch research institute with supporting top-notch scientific research facilities."

"OK..." Lu Ran said, "I will find a way to solve these problems."

"You stay here first, I'll go outside for a walk."

Lu Ran also knew that it was impossible to let No. 18 "build a rocket with bare hands", and things like the research location had to be prepared for her.

Fortunately, Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering is a key research center.

Lu Ran planned to go out and see if he could get some "sponsorship" or "investment" from a professor so that he could use the school's research institute.

Or you can pay for it, anyway, rent it to him for 18 days! …………

Next, Lu Ran came out of the ruins space and picked up the student card on the table.

On the student card is Lu Ran’s photo, as well as his name and student number.

At this time, Lu Ran’s name on his student card was no longer “King of Beast Tamers” but “Passerby A”.

After clearing the legendary secret realm, shortly after the announcement was made to the entire server, Lu Ran spent 10,000 crystal coins to change his name back.

The reason is very simple, because Liudaohua realized that someone was using the ID "King of Beast Tamers" to predict their situation.

Lu Ran didn't want anyone to know his whereabouts, so he immediately followed Liudaohua's advice and quickly changed his ID to cut off the other party's source of divination.

I just don't know who is divining their information, and how much useful information they have found...

Anyway, now Lu Ran suddenly felt that it was right to change the name.

Because of the student card information this time, the Beastmaster’s Infinite City ID was directly used.

If he hadn't changed his name and participated in the invention competition under the name "College Student: King of Beast Tamers", he would have been exposed.

Even if he didn't summon the Six-Path Flower, it was too easy for people to associate him with the ID of the Beastmaster King.

It goes against his low-key style.

"Huh." Holding the ID card, Lu Ran wanted to go out, but he suddenly found that there seemed to be a laptop in the dormitory.

Rather than going out to ask, Lu Ran immediately sat in front of the computer, thinking that it might be faster to search for information using this thing.

I almost forgot that this is a modern technological society, not ancient times.

It has to be said that although technology in other areas has advanced greatly, ordinary computers are still similar to those on Blue Star.

Next, Lu Ran began to surf the Internet happily.

What’s more, after just 15 minutes of surfing, Lu Ran found what he needed.

First, the College Student Invention Competition is held annually for 119 qualified universities in the Xingyue Republic...

Although it is held once a year, the number of participants is still off the charts. According to information displayed on the official website of the competition, the number of registrations this year has exceeded 50,000.

"Fuck." Lu Ran was dumbfounded when he saw it.

There are so many.

As expected of a fourth-level breakthrough secret realm, it is becoming increasingly difficult.

Not only do the trial participants have to compete with each other, with only one person able to break through, but they also have to compete with the NPCs. It is incredibly difficult to get into the top 100 among tens of thousands of contestants.

But fortunately, he has the Overlord Mechanical Angel...

Among these contestants, most of them probably just invent some small gadgets. The ones who are really threatening are those who have good fathers, good teachers, or are real geniuses.

At the same time, Lu Ran discovered that he was not yet registered.

Because there are also thresholds for registering for the invention competition.

The lowest threshold is the recommendation of a university tutor.

Obviously, Lu Ran was still a novice mechanic and there was definitely no mentor who recommended him to participate in the competition.

Before participating in the invention competition, it seems that you have to complete the prerequisite tasks and obtain the qualification to participate in the invention competition.

“This is easy.”

"Registration ends three days before the competition begins."

“I just need to complete this challenge, and not only will I have a top research institute, but it will also be easy to find a mentor to recommend me.”

This is the forum of "Capital University of Mechanical Engineering".

In order to encourage its students to participate in the "Invention Competition" and achieve good results in the "Invention Competition", Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering is also working hard to allocate resources.

For example, Capital University of Mechanical Engineering opened 56 research institutes for students to use a week ago.

These research institutes have different configurations and usage conditions. Some require academic performance, some require historical competition results, and some require "combat strength." In short, no matter what abilities you excel in, you have the opportunity to apply for usage rights.

Lu Ran set his sights on a top research institute.

There are all kinds of scientific research equipment inside, which is obviously built with huge investment. It is considered top-notch equipment in the Capital University of Mechanical Engineering. It is the research institute of a legendary mechanical doctor.

At this stage, this research institute needs to rely on "combat power" to obtain temporary use rights.

The mode is similar to "Defending the Title".

The first person who wants to use or applies to use this research institute will become the champion of the institute.

If anyone else wants to take away the right to use it, they have to defeat the champion in a pet battle.

Then, this person will become the new champion and will have to face challenges from others who want to use him.

Only by possessing absolute strength can you continue to use this research institute.

In addition to these superficial rules, there are also some detailed rules, such as 1V1, for example, the pets used by both parties must be mechanical pets, or semi-mechanical pets that have undergone mechanical modifications.

"This is good. As long as I win the battle and crush the other students, I can keep using the research institute. It suits me."

"You can ask Mr. Ha to come."

"Boss Ha holds a mechanical lightsaber in his mouth, which can barely be considered a mechanically armed cyborg pet."

"The challenge time... is it 9:00~10:00 every morning?"

"Today is over, so let's go tomorrow."

"Sword Dog, it's time to return to the arena."

"After that, let No. 18 do the research inside, and it will just be a watchdog outside to repel challengers."

Lu Ran took a look at the current champion information.

[Ji Xie, female, 21 years old, level 5 mechanic.

Commonly used defensive pet, level 58, low-level overlord race, Xuanting mecha. 】

"It's okay, you can give it a try."

"Sword-slashing mecha?"

"But it seems that Mr. Ha only has one high-quality junk lightsaber at the moment, and it's been half-destroyed by Mr. Ha... How about buying another one?"

"Wait, it's number 18 now, what are you going to buy?"

Lu Ran was startled, and then quickly returned to the ruins space. At this time, No. 18 was still sitting on the stone, using the intelligent brain to analyze the two research projects that Lu Ran mentioned...

But Lu Ran felt that her eyes were a little dull.

It doesn't look very smart, which is inconsistent with the identity of a dominant intelligent life form.

“Number 18!”

"Master..." No. 18 looked at Lu Ran who had returned.

"Number 18, can you make a mechanical lightsaber?"

"Mechanical lightsaber... Mechanical lightsaber..." No. 18 suddenly stood up from the stone pier, his eyes gradually cleared, and he said, "I really know how to do this."

"Compared to those two research projects, just having hands is enough."

"Give me the materials, and I can make a rare mechanical lightsaber by hand right now."

Lu Ran: “…”

"Why are you so excited?" Lu Ran said.

"No, a world-class mechanical lightsaber cannot reflect my strength. Master, please find me suitable epic mechanical materials. I will go to the Hell Realm now and make you an epic mechanical lightsaber within 30 days without the help of other equipment!"

No. 18 was eager to prove that she was not such a "waste". She was even confident that she could make an epic mechanical lightsaber. However, what Lu Ran said was too abstract!!! "Ah?" Lu Ran was stunned.

"Let me make a lightsaber first!" No. 18 punched hard. In this way, she could also use the process of researching the mechanical lightsaber to improve her growth level. With her current brain capacity, she really couldn't think of how to research the "Elemental Life Birth Device" and the "Soul Evolution Device".

"Okay... okay." Lu Ran was speechless.

"I have a pile of forging materials here. See if you can use them. If not, I'll go find them for you." The next second, Lu Ran took out a pile of forging materials that he had accumulated.

Forging and mechanical manufacturing are inseparable. One-fifth of forging materials can be used as mechanical manufacturing materials. It’s just that the creative methods of the two fields are completely different.

"Okay." No. 18 looked at the materials on the ground, scanned them, and then froze. She flew straight to the two pieces of metal, then bent down and picked up one piece with each hand.

"It's a top-grade mechanical material, perfect for forging lightsabers."

"Master, you don't have to look for it anywhere else, this is all you need."

"Um???"

Lu Ran looked at the two pieces of metal.

【Name】：Star Iron

[Level]: Epic Lu Ran: “Ah???”

"This thing can be used as a mechanical material? Wait, this is one of the few epic materials I have left. Do you really want to make an epic lightsaber???"

"Hmm!" No. 18 looked at Lu Ran and said, "Isn't it possible? I feel that after I make the epic starlight sword, my research level should be greatly improved."

"I am very familiar with the lightsaber manufacturing process, but I lack the time to accumulate experience!"

"With the time domain, I will be able to accumulate experience quickly!"

Lu Ran was slightly stunned. This thing is the best material for making the Starlight Sword...

Well, I never expected that...the waste from the imperial treasury would still be a useful thing in the mechanical age.

I originally wanted to forge a shield for the Sudden Death King...but Boss Ha, one for each Sudden Death King, so it's okay.

"Since you said so, then you can build a mechanical lightsaber. I will ask Senior Liuhua to open the Time Hell for you... I will try to improve the mechanical space and contract you before you finish making it. This way, you can also get some feedback from the contract and do better research."

"Great!" The mechanical angel was full of confidence. Great, he finally got a simple research task.

"Then come on." The next moment, Liu Daohua walked out of Lu Ran's contract card with an expressionless face and said, "Let me try the time flow rate of 1:60 for you first, and see if you can bear it."

Anyway, she was under a lot of pressure, but Liudaohua didn't believe that she could be defeated by a small machine.
