Beast Taming: the More the Better

Su Ping was somewhat intrigued and waved his hand. Dong Muyun had mentioned before that for a mature Mechanical Pet Beast, a successfully awakened Mechanical Core was merely the first step. The second, more important step was the most critical part: fusing with a mechanical body and, at the same time, researching new mechanical blueprints or directly using existing virtual blueprints to complement the mechanical body.

The advancement of Mechanical Pet Beasts was quite interesting. They themselves were unable to evolve directly, but this became possible after connecting to a mechanical body. The quality of the mechanical body, the rationality of the blueprint assembly, the equipped Mechanical Weapons, and so on, all played a role. Of course, the most important aspect was still the Realm advancement of the Mechanical Core itself. A Mechanical Core of sufficient Realm could control high-level mechanical body materials and more sophisticated Mechanical Weapons after merging with a mechanical body. Otherwise, control would be impossible, let alone Evolution. The Realm advancement of the Mechanical Core also had many facets, such as resource utilization, integration of mechanical knowledge, reciprocal enhancement from Beast Tamers, and even high-Energy supply during combat—all were possibilities.

Over time, Su Ping had gained a thorough understanding of Mechanical Pet Beasts. Compared to many ordinary Pet Beasts, Mechanical Pet Beasts seemed inherently more versatile. This was precisely why they had become the most popular—and undoubtedly the most luxurious—type of Pet Beast in the current era. After all, every step in developing a Mechanical Pet Beast required substantial financial investment.

Currently, Su Ping certainly wasn't short of funds. However, he lacked the blueprints for Mechanical Pet Beasts. Besides his future plans for Feifei's Network Control of a Mechanical Pet Beast army, Paperman's own assembly was also inextricably linked to mechanical blueprints.

Aunt Qin noticed Su Ping's curiosity and desire, and she said with a smile, "How so? Su Ping, are you also interested in Mechanical Pet Beasts?"

Her question made Liu Fuhai's heart suddenly pound. And Su Ping, nodding on the other side, made Liu Fuhai's heart pound again.

Damn it, didn't you kid just promise me a few days ago that you would focus on studying the Icefang Whitewolf when the time came? How did you change your mind so quickly? And it's not even your original Plant System or Necromancy System; how did it suddenly, inexplicably become the Mechanical System?

However, at this moment, Su Ping clearly wasn't paying attention to Old Liu's gaze. Since it was rare to encounter someone knowledgeable, he naturally wanted to ask in detail. However, Aunt Qin apparently couldn't offer Su Ping much specific advice on this matter.

"The designs for Cloud Soarer were distributed from above; you should understand that. I don't have any remarkable blueprints here. However, Su Ping, if you're interested, you shouldn't worry about not finding what you're looking for in Magic Capital. Our Magic Capital Advanced Beast-Taming Academy has a Mechanical Faculty with many professors who are experts in this field! Blueprints are indeed hard to come by; there are some individuals whom even the Academy Head must treat with respect. Furthermore, Magic Capital also hosts the Mechanics Association, which operates under the Beast Master Association. They sell some mechanical blueprints and also permit members to trade blueprints privately. If you're lucky, you might find some excellent ones there."

Su Ping nodded, enlightened.

It had to be the largest city in Dragon Nation. Although Linzhou was already quite good, it still lacked something in the details. Of course, this was purely because Su Ping himself had hardly ever visited the Beast Master Association building in Linzhou; although Linzhou didn't have a separate Mechanical Association, it did have corresponding departments.

「Above in the sky, outside the window, it was a vast expanse of azure and white.」

This was Su Ping's first time on a plane in this life. Above the azure Jade Sky, clouds like vast, sky-spanning wings, Cloud Soarer glided by, traversing the vast sky in an instant. Yet, there were no sightings of any bird-like Pet Beasts.

It made sense, as few flocks of birds would venture to such high altitudes, and a vessel like Cloud Soarer was far beyond what ordinary planes could compare to.

Soon, looking down from the sky, he could see an unparalleled modern city—Magic Capital—emerging on the distant horizon.

At the same time, Aunt Qin stood up. She looked at everyone present, her gaze mainly falling on Sun Chaoju and Liu Fuhai, and asked, "Are you two planning to go to Magic Capital Academy together?"

Su Ping was undoubtedly going to Magic Capital Academy, but it wasn't certain for the other two. And that was indeed the case, as Liu Fuhai promptly said, "No need, just drop us off anywhere in the city. Su Ping, we'll wait for you in the city, and when the Breeder competition is about to begin, we'll come find you!"

Liu Fuhai had no desire to set foot on the territory of Qin Erlong's wife. Moreover, he estimated that in the next few days, people from all over the country participating in the Breeder competition would also start arriving; it was a good opportunity to subtly inquire and gather information. Besides, judging by her tone, she clearly had no intention of inviting them along. If he persisted shamelessly, it would be rather tactless, wouldn't it?

Cloud Soarer's speed gradually decreased. After dropping off the two men, it then proceeded to Magic Capital Academy.

Even looking down from the sky, Su Ping could see that although he had imagined many things before his arrival, when he actually saw the academy, he still found himself momentarily at a loss.
