Even my own Pet Beast, trying to comfort me, is preparing to develop a Meditation Method that would allow for foolproof cultivation.

But such things are hard to say; it's embarrassing for myself, not to mention it would make the other person feel awkward too.

This Sang Sheng was extremely talkative, showing no signs of the stern, control-freak woman Liu Fuhai had described. There were none of those rules like 'no talking during meals or in bed'; the entire meal was spent in conversation.

"Xiao Ping, do you plan to participate in the Dragon Nation Young Beast Tamer examination next year?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. Is she also bringing up this matter?

Su Ping nodded. "Of course, I am. I just don't know how well I'll do then."

The woman smiled with satisfaction. "Having the courage to participate is good. You've probably heard about next year's situation. It will be the last vocational examination under the old system. The difficulty will be immense, but I believe in you! Plus, the top-ranking young Beast Tamers will receive some very nice rewards!"

After seeing that peculiar little paperman, she truly believed in Su Ping.

The combat power of that thing is just outrageous.

Su Ping's eyes lit up as well.

Rewards?

However, before he could think further, the woman spoke again. "I made a promise before: if you could get into the top one hundred of the Trial Tower, I would grant you one request. It seems I was too hasty then. But Xiao Ping, if there's anything you want, just tell me directly."

A desired request? If she hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten.

A promise from a Spirit Saint Level expert. What it represents is unimaginable value.

But Su Ping was not the type of greedy person who didn't know his own limits.

Given her status, even Spirit Saint Level resources are absolutely within her ability to offer. But my face isn't really that thick. To ask for Spirit Saint Level resources for such a small thing?

Sang Sheng herself had only wanted to spark Su Ping's competitive spirit for the Trial Tower, to make him feel some pressure, perhaps hoping he would decide to stay at Magic Capital Academy. That was her true intention; she had simply misjudged his strength, leading to this situation.

If I were to make a big demand, she would probably give it, but it isn't worth lowering my standing in her eyes.

Moreover, in my view, some tangible resources aren't as important as certain other things.

And indeed, Su Ping had some other thoughts and purposes for his visit to Magic Capital.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping nodded. "To be honest with you, I do have a small matter I'd like to ask for your help with!"

"Oh?"

Actually, Su Ping was overthinking it. If he had asked for Spirit Saint Level resources or other valuable items at that moment, Sang Sheng wouldn't have been displeased at all. Instead, she would have approved immediately and provided them on the spot. The more such matters entangled them, and the more valuable the items involved, the more inseparable their connection would become. If she could bind Su Ping firmly to her 'war chariot,' so to speak, considering his boundless future and the Ghost Saint's background, a few resources were clearly nothing in her eyes.

However, what she hadn't expected was that Su Ping's request was clearly not along those lines.

"I've heard that some Mechanical Pet Beasts are of significant research value. I've recently become quite interested in mechanical-type Pet Beasts. Do you happen to know anything about this area?"

"Uh..."

This truly caught Sang Sheng off guard. It's not particularly valuable, just a small favor, really.

"I don't have any Mechanical Pet Beasts, and I don't know much about them. However, the academy has a Mechanical System. The current head of the Mechanical System, Old Wang, is also one of the vice-presidents of the Magic Capital Mechanical Association. When Old Wang gets back from the city, I'll take you to him. You can ask him then!"

"Then thank you very much."

Su Ping was completely satisfied; the objectives of his trip to Magic Capital had been achieved more smoothly than he could have ever imagined.
