She wasn't familiar enough with Kane and the others to know their specific situations, so she didn't know whose vehicle this was, or if it was shared squad property.

As for why she thought it wasn't purchased, it was because Funa hadn't heard of such a vehicle.

Upon hearing Funa's question, Lilulu immediately said, "It's Kane, oh, he's the best at making these mechanical things."

The one in the whole squad who loved Kane's mechanical creations the most was Lilulu.

Whenever Kane had a new invention or creation, Lilulu would always be the first to try it out and want to control it herself.

If it was some small mechanical toy, she would even ask Kane to make a physical one for her.

So now, in Lilulu's space equipment, there's a corner specifically for storing various mechanical toys Kane made for her.

These things were considered her treasures, but now that Kane had become a Mechanical Master, these mechanical structures crafted by his hands, even if they didn't have any practical effect, still held considerable collection and research value.

However, Kane himself was unaware of this; he became a Master in the Mechanical Association because of the tremendous help they provided him.

"Kane can make them too? I thought only people like Funa enjoyed these cold metallic things." Rui remarked in surprise upon hearing Lilulu's words.

And next to him, Xi was watching his brother gleefully.

Sure enough, Funa punched Rui on the head: "What do you know? These things made of metal are so beautiful, you ignoramus little brat."

That's just right, girl. Kane shouted in his heart.

Hearing that Funa could also make these mechanical devices, Kreya and the others cast curious glances.

After all, they didn't know many explorers; only Kane could make these mechanical devices among them.

Then Lilulu blinked and appeared next to Funa, her eyes shining like stars, asking, "Really? Funa, you can make machines, can you let Lilulu see?"

Seeing Lilulu's expression, Funa smiled without refusing, reaching into her space equipment to start fetching her mechanical creations.

The first thing she brought out was a very rugged, copper-colored mechanical figure, with exposed gears and mechanical structures that were very eye-catching.

Once taken out, it immediately activated, the gemstone eyes flashing with light, then began walking around the compartment.

Funa extended a hand, and with a wave of her fingers, the robot ran nimbly and jumped freely in the compartment, performing flips and striking various poses.

Kreya and the others could see that Funa's mechanical creations differed greatly from Kane's; almost like two different schools of thought.

All of Kane's mechanical creations were very detailed, whether it was the internal structures or the exterior, presenting a very formal sci-fi look.

To put it simply, it's the precision school, with the core of creations leaning more towards the mechanical structure side, complemented by intricate magic patterns.

In contrast, Funa's mechanical creations appeared very rugged and wild. If someone from Kane's previous life saw them, they would wonder how these things managed to move.

This description is called the rugged school, where the core of creations leans more towards magic, with the mechanical structure serving as auxiliary.

Of course, this classification is just a rough, simple division; within the Mechanical Association, they almost never use this method of classification; they have more detailed divisions of schools.

These two types of distinctions are simply fabricated by non-experts to aid their judgment and recognition.

The mechanical knowledge of this world is a grand mixture, with knowledge from various different worlds converging here. Due to its complexity, many mechanicians forge their own paths among the vast mechanical structures.

The only thing that might group them together is the energy core technology.

And Funa's mechanical creations, Kane could easily identify were using a very common and easy-to-design energy core power technology.

And the external mechanical structure and creation characteristics likely belonged to the ancient mechanical school.

This ancient mechanical school doesn't refer to ancient times within this world, but a name passed down from other worlds when they acquired this technology, which the Mechanical Association directly adopted.

This school is also known as a more famous school, renowned for being simple, easy to understand, convenient, and cheap.

One could completely treat mechanical devices as consumables, without feeling a bit of heartache.

After watching Funa's demonstration for a while, Lilulu directly took out those mechanical toys Kane had made for her from her space equipment.

These mechanical creations had very fine exteriors; one look and you knew they were meticulously designed, with Kane always upholding that appearance is also a part of strength.

This is also a testament to the strength of creating mechas.

If one pilots an unimpressive Gundam, can they still be called a Gundam pilot?

Lilulu took out a mechanical dragonfly with a simple artificial intelligence; upon Lilulu flipping the switch, it automatically vibrated its mechanical wings and flew inside the compartment.

If seen from afar without a close look, one might think this really was a living dragonfly.

When Funa extended her hand, the dragonfly automatically hovered over it.

Funa brought the mechanical dragonfly to her eyes and began to examine it carefully.

After careful inspection, she found that she couldn't discern what Kane's energy core technology was.

She could only see the gathering magic array, but couldn't identify the energy circuits, indicating to her that Kane's mechanical manufacturing technology was certainly above hers.

"Kane, have you joined the Mechanical Association?" Funa asked as she looked at the dragonfly in her hand.

"Of course, though I just joined not long ago."

"They all call him Master Kane!" Lilulu boasted somewhat proudly. Even though she didn't quite understand the weight of the title of Master, having visited the Mechanical Association with Kane multiple times, she knew Kane held a remarkable position.

"Master!" Funa's voice suddenly rose by two pitches, exclaiming in surprise.

Staring wide-eyed at Kane, she asked, "You're actually a Master?"

At Funa's surprised gaze, Kane felt a bit embarrassed, scratching his cheek with a finger, he said, "If you mean the Master of the Mechanical Association, then I suppose I am."

"But I've never heard of a Master as young as you!"

"I only joined the Mechanical Association and became a Master last month," Kane said calmly, uttering something remarkable.

In Funa's eyes, the figure of the squad leader of the Explorer Squad, who was not much older than her, suddenly grew in stature.

For Kreya and the others who weren't part of the Mechanical Association, they found it hard to understand Funa's feelings.

Funa had lived in the Mechanical Association since childhood; her parents were once members too, and under their influence, she fell in love with these mechanical wonders.

Becoming a Master had been her lifelong dream.

And now, a living Master was right in front of her, with the questions she wanted to ask constantly rising in her mind.

Referring to Kane as "Master Kane," Funa couldn't help but add an honorific to his name.

"Mm, no need to be so formal, just call me Kane; this sounds a bit weird," Kane said, disliking being called Master even within the Mechanical Association due to regulations, but he couldn't ask them to change it.

Hearing Kane's words, Funa nodded, then excitedly began to ask.

"Kane, may I ask about the magic power transmission in machinery, how to better reduce energy loss when passing through joints, and lessen the burden on parts so they don't short-circuit from excessive combat?"

For Funa's inquiry, Kane had answered countless similar questions recently, so he effortlessly and thoroughly explained it to Funa.

Then the two of them entered a conversation that seemed like a heavenly script to the others.
