Leaving Magic Capital Academy, Su Ping was on his way to the city center.

Sitting inside the completely soundproof mechanical vehicle, he looked around with curiosity.

The woman beside him, noticing his gaze, smiled slightly.

"What are you looking at?"

Su Ping didn't hide anything.

"I originally thought that with your status and power, if you wanted to go somewhere, it would be with a whoosh, teleporting directly—like a Divine Dragon that shows its head but not its tail."

The woman chuckled.

"You little guy, you must not have had much contact with Space-based Pet Beasts, right?"

Su Ping was taken aback and touched his nose, somewhat awkwardly.

"Teleportation is one of the basic Skills of Space-based Pet Beasts, and it's also the most commonly used Skill. However, 'most commonly used' doesn't mean it can be employed at will. First of all, it's very draining for Space-based Pet Beasts to carry other people via Spatial Teleportation. The longer the distance, the greater the energy consumption. It's fine to use it extensively for short-distance combat teleportation, but to use it for traveling—that's too extravagant."

The woman explained patiently.

As a result, Su Ping felt even more embarrassed.

He felt as if he were asking an emperor why he didn't use a golden hoe for farming.

But Su Ping quickly calmed himself. It wasn't his fault; these Space-based Pet Beasts were just too weak. Even long-distance teleportation was such a hassle. What kind of Space Element was this!?

However, what about those space transportation vehicles from before?

Before he could ponder longer, the woman spoke again.

"Do you have any specific goals with the Mechanical System?"

"Goals?"

Su Ping scratched his head.

The woman was momentarily speechless.

"Within the Mechanical System, there are blueprints, materials for metal bodies, and even Mechanical Weapons, among other things. Of course, there are more complex aspects, but my understanding isn't very comprehensive. Which area are you primarily interested in exploring first?"

Su Ping thought for a moment.

"Primarily blueprints."

Blueprints for Mechanical Pet Beasts were incredibly important to him. Not only could Feifei potentially use them, but the Paperman he currently possessed might find them even more crucial.

The woman nodded.

"Wang Quan has been very busy lately. You should go straight to him with your requests, and then take a look around the Mechanics Association. I'll probably come pick you up around three in the afternoon."

"Alright..."

As they conversed, the flow of vehicles and foot traffic outside the window increased. After passing the suburbs where the academy was located, Magic Capital displayed the prosperity of one of the largest cities in the Dragon Nation.

"If you have some free time, you can explore more. Some of the larger markets in Magic Capital have types of Pet Beasts not found in the Dragon Nation, imported from other countries. Some of them are quite interesting."

Getting out of the car, Sang Sheng said with a smile.

Su Ping nodded, though inwardly he wasn't very concerned. There were far too many types of Pet Beasts; he hadn't even encountered all the countless varieties within the Dragon Nation, let alone any foreign imports. In his view, such Pet Beasts weren't really worth researching. After all, with incomplete domestic information, discovering an evolutionary path for them was exceedingly difficult. Unless they offered him significant utility or assistance, researching them held little meaning. Of course, he understood Sang Sheng's intention; it was merely to broaden his horizons.

The Mechanical Association was also housed in a huge, estate-like park. It was noteworthy that occupying such a large tract of land in Magic Capital, where every inch was precious, demonstrated the Mechanical Association's significant standing in the city. Mechanical Pet Beasts, as the frontier of new-era development, were also a main focus of research in various countries.

And at the entrance to this park, a smiling figure was already waiting.

"Principal, why did you come here in person?"

This was also a man around forty years old. However, his posture was perfectly upright, his figure robust. At the same time, his voice was quite peculiar. It lacked the resonant quality of human vocal cords, possessing instead a mechanical timbre. And indeed, it was so.

Sang Sheng stepped forward.

"Wang Quan, this is Su Ping, the young man I mentioned. He's very interested in Mechanical Pet Beasts. For his visit this time, I had no choice but to ask for your guidance! I hope it's not too much trouble?"

"No trouble! Hello, Su Ping!"

The man turned and extended his hand. Only then did Su Ping see that it wasn't flesh and blood, as he had assumed, but a specially assembled mechanical hand. The metallic hand held no warmth of flesh, only the cold touch of machinery.

A Mechanical Beast Tamer... could they modify themselves to such an extent?

Su Ping was shocked.

"Hello, Teacher Wang Quan!"

"Alright, you two go ahead and talk. I've got things to do. I'll come pick you up in the afternoon!"

Sang Sheng waved to both of them and then got back into the car.

After they watched the vehicle start up and disappear from sight, the peculiar Wang Quan turned back and smiled.

"Su Ping, whatever you need, just say it."

Su Ping scratched his head. Was it really this straightforward? However, since the other party was so direct, he saw no reason to be reserved and stated his purpose.

"Senior Wang Quan, I don't know much about Mechanical Pet Beasts. The main purpose of my visit today is to learn more about them and, concurrently, to collect some blueprints for Mechanical Pet Beasts."

"That's easy..."

The man with the mechanical-sounding voice said directly, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
