After comforting Shi Zhen and telling her not to have any thoughts of lifting the curse, Manager Ying found the old president again.

"What--"

After hearing what Manager Ying said, the old president was also very surprised.

"Why is there still my business?"

"Old man, you don't look very happy." Manager Ying was surprised. This was completely different from Shi Zhen's reaction! This tremendous opportunity... Isn't it a surprise? "Tired of it." The old president said helplessly: "I'm tired of being a beastmaster. I've already planned to retire after the World War."

"I just want to do something according to my mood when the time comes. Do you want me to work for a legendary life?"

Although the elderly are steady, they do not have much fighting spirit.

"Damn." Manager Ying said, "Why are you like the turtle from Lu Ran's family?"

"This super beast mimicry is definitely 100% compatible."

Old President:?

"And didn't you agree to join Lu Ran's archaeology department?"

"It wouldn't hurt to have more positions."

"Didn't he say that it was just to help hold a position and it had no binding force?"

[You believe what Lu Ran said. Now I am on temporary duty, but in a few months I will be on duty as a branch officer! ]

Manager Ying secretly complained inwardly.

"It's okay! You can just take up a position as the old chairman of the Divine Turtle. When the Divine Turtle has any tasks, Didi and Lu Ran will help you do them. When the Divine Turtle pays, we'll split the money 334! You just sit back and collect the salary."

"Ah?" The old president is old, and one of the few who has a spiritual shock, can he still be a legendary apostle like this? ? ? "You... are really the talents of Xia Country..."

…………

And breaking through the secret realm.

After Principal Fu left for a while, Lu Ran had already completed the contract with No. 18.

The contract is mutually beneficial. By signing Contract No. 18, Lu Ran gained a certain "mechanical talent", which will enable him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the process of learning mechanical knowledge.

The feedback received on the 18th was an all-round improvement in attributes, such as the growth level was increased by two levels.

In addition, on the 18th, you can also enjoy the various beast taming skill bonuses brought by Lu Ran.

Like time acceleration! Lu Ran might be able to speed up No. 18's research deduction process and have a mixed male and female team with Liu Daohua to let No. 18 experience the ultimate research state.

"It's about time."

After looking at the time, Lu Ran walked out of the dormitory and headed to his future teacher's Orange Sky Research Institute, intending to take over.

However, when Lu Ran arrived at the Orange Sky Research Institute, he saw a girl with long brown hair leaning against the door of the institute, as if waiting for someone.

"A passerby."

Ji Xie saw the passerby who defeated his mecha finally show up, his eyes flickered and he said: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Handing over the research institute, right? Thank you for your hard work." Lu Ran also recognized the other party and said with a smile.

"According to the rules, the temporary use rights of this research institute will be yours from now on. However, after I repair the Xuan Ting mecha, I will bring it with me to challenge again. I hope you are ready."

"I was careless this time, but next time, I will fight together with the Xuan Ting mecha."

As she said that, she threw out a card and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Lu Ran shrugged, knowing this would be the result.

“Never mind, let’s go see what the research institute is like first.” Lu Ran swiped his card and entered the research institute, and at the same time, summoned No. 18 out.

The little angel excitedly looked at the super room full of equipment...

"No. 18, check if there are any problems with the research institute first."

"yes!"

…………

That night.

In the Orange Sky Mechanical Research Institute, a desktop communicator lit up by itself.

【Dr. Chengkong from Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering requested a video call. Do you want to answer it? 】

The sound coming from inside made Lu Ran, who was reading a book in the research institute, take a look.

“Answer it.” After Lu Ran said answer, a beautiful figure immediately appeared on the screen.

The other person was wearing a white robe and uniform, had orange curly hair, and had a tired look in his eyes from staying up late, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.

Although her eyes looked a bit gloomy and scary, she looked like a very beautiful woman with great temperament. She was about thirty years old. To be able to become a legendary mechanic at this age, she was considered quite talented.

Lu Ran had investigated the other party. This Dr. Chengkong had achieved a legendary breakthrough at the age of 31. In the field of mechanics, where the popularity increases with age, he is considered a rare young person.

[This one should be the youngest among all my teachers. ]

The Master of the Sect Leader and the Master of the City Lord are both considered elderly, while the Cheap Master of the Emperor is also considered middle-aged.

"Are you the student Passerby A that Principal Fu mentioned?" During the video call, Dr. Cheng Kong looked at Lu Ran as he walked over and said, "I am the owner of this research institute you are using now, Cheng Kong."

"Principal Fu asked me to be your exclusive mentor, but I don't know your specific situation yet. I will be back in the capital soon. Can you meet me when you are free? I will treat you to a meal."

"Hello, Dr. Chengkong." Lu Ran leaned closer and said, "No problem, but I won't let you spend money. I happen to have good cooking skills. You can just come to the institute. I will prepare a big meal before you arrive."

"Huh?" Dr. Chengkong was stunned.

"Don't worry, my craftsmanship is very good."

Lu Ran wanted to show off in front of this new teacher, but the other party seemed very skeptical? "No, what I want to say is that you are not allowed to cook in my research institute!"

Lu Ran: “…”

"Well...I won't cook in the institute."

"Just come over without worry. I will prepare a feast in another place."

…

Not long after, Dr. Chengkong arrived at his research institute, and Lu Ran was already waiting for him outside the institute.

"I heard from Principal Fu that you have never been exposed to the Department of Mechanics before, and your pet is a dominant species, right?"

She led Lu Ran back into the research institute and asked, "Are you sure you want to undergo the mechanical pet transformation?"

"I'm not sure yet... That's why I want to learn from you first." Lu Ran said.

"I see." Cheng Kong nodded and said, "By the way, where is the meal you mentioned?"

She glanced inside the institute and indeed there were no signs of cooking.

"I rushed over, but I haven't eaten anything yet."

"I've prepared everything in here." At this moment, as he saw Dr. Chengkong, Lu Ran took out the [Epic Item: Ruin Branch].

"This is a relic space prop. I cook inside. Let me take you in."

Relic space...? Hearing Lu Ran's words, Cheng Kong was slightly surprised. The quality of the relic space was basically epic. This student actually had such a prop.

With both an overlord pet and a relic space, what kind of family is this?

She had clearly heard Principal Fu say that the other party's deceased parents were only level six beastmasters.

How could he leave so many good things for this passerby?

"You..." Chengkong glanced at the tree branch and said, "Although the laws of the Republic are perfect, you should not take out such things casually in the future, otherwise it may bring you a fatal disaster."

"I know that you are a good person, Dr. Chengkong." Lu Ran nodded.

"I'm very good at judging people."

At the same time, the ability to perceive good and evil is weakened.

Can.

When Dr. Chengkong took out equipment like the Relic Space, he did not have any evil thoughts. Instead, he had good thoughts and reminded the other party, and he directly gained Lu Ran's trust.

He took out the relic space just to test Dr. Orange Sky.

Only if the other person has no problems with his character, Lu Ran will feel comfortable revealing more things to him.

After all, he has many things that are more valuable than the relic space.

"Haha, you are so young, how can you judge people? You must be relaxed because I am pretty. I know boys your age too well."

Lu Ran: What the hell, can’t people have a little bit of genuine trust with each other? He is not that kind of person. What’s wrong with this mentor?

Next, Lu Ran invited the other party into the ruins space and brought him to a table full of delicious food and drinks.

After Dr. Chengkong showed off for a while, his expression became relaxed.

"You're not lying. Your cooking skills are indeed very good. They're much better than my automatic rice frying machine."

"It seems that he is not just the second generation who inherited the family fortune, but he is also very capable."

"You are too kind."

"Dr. Chengkong, can I learn from you next?"

"Of course, that's no problem." Dr. Chengkong proudly put one thigh on the other big white leg and said, "You have a high-level overlord pet under contract, which can be regarded as 'bringing money into the group'. It's better to say that you are 'cooperative research' rather than learning from me. At present, I have no precedent for making props that can be used for the temporary mechanical evolution of high-level overlord pets."

"But if you want to learn from me, it may take some time."

"I came back to see you urgently. I am currently working on a project at the 'Divine Research Institute' and it will take some time to complete."

"Considering that you are a newbie in mechanics, I will leave a bunch of information here. How about you learn the basics on your own?"

"In addition, I will send you a research robot to temporarily assist you in your studies."

"Teacher, are you also a researcher at the Divine Research Institute?!"

Lu Ran heard the key information and was moved.

"Haha, isn't this natural?" Dr. Orange Sky laughed, "Study hard, and after you graduate and become a legendary mechanic, you will not be without opportunities."

“Man-made gods…”

“It’s exciting to think about,” she said.

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded, wondering if he could become a colleague with Dr. Chengkong in 18 days.

"By the way, teacher, there's no need for a research robot. In fact, my parents left one for me, and I recently activated the contract."

"Oh?" Cheng Kong was surprised: "Your parents are well prepared and have good foresight. It seems that they have long known that the mechanical department is the future trend. Not only did they leave you a dominant pet, but they also left you a research robot..."

"Well... Passerby, summon your research robot and show it to me. I'll leave you some self-study materials based on its level."

“Okay.” Lu Ran attributed the origin of his pet to the parents who were “generated” by Infinite City. Even if his pet was a little outrageous or strange, it was already dead and there was no evidence. Plus with the repair patch from Infinite City, nothing should go wrong. Besides, Dr. Orange Sky was not a bad guy… Next, Lu Ran summoned No. 18 who had taken a short rest.

With the appearance of No. 18, Dr. Orange Sky, who was flying on the dining table and was dazed from eating, suddenly woke up. His eyes gradually widened and he showed an incredible expression.

"God damn, a Overlord-class research robot?!"
