"How did you discover Xiaoruan's excellence?" Li Cunxu asked.

The household robot replied, "Its digging speed is remarkable. Clearly, it's just a Bronze-level Slime, yet it exhibits the speed of a Silver-level one."

"You observed very carefully!"

Li Cunxu admired it more and more and immediately contracted with the household robot.

What's there to hesitate about a legendary talent? Just contract it.

A flash of white light sealed the contract.

Li Cunxu asked, "What is the ability of your hidden mechanical talent?"

The household robot was surprised and said, "How did you know?"

"I can discern the talents of uncontracted pet beasts."

"I see, you are truly remarkable, Beast Master."

Then, the household robot introduced its talent.

"My talent allows me to have a hidden mechanical space. This space can only be entered by non-living mechanical beings and me. I can hide in this hidden mechanical space to avoid attacks, leaving a phantom projection of myself outside. Currently, the hidden mechanical space is one hundred cubic meters. With each major breakthrough in level, the space expands tenfold."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu's first thought was super weakened divine might.

The second thought was a personal armory.

Li Cunxu asked, "Can you attack outside while hiding in the hidden mechanical space?"

"No."

"What about weapons placed in the hidden mechanical space?"

"Also no."

The hidden mechanical space had more limitations than imagined.

If it weren't for those limitations, the household robot would be invincible.

If the limitations of only non-living mechanical beings and the household robot itself entering were removed,

then the household robot could drag enemies into the hidden mechanical space and trap them.

Even a King-level entity without spatial means would be trapped by this move.

This is the essence of 'space is king, time is venerable,' the value of the spatial attribute.

If the limitation of not being able to attack outside while hiding in the hidden mechanical space was removed,

then for most pet beasts, the household robot would be an unsolvable entity; other pet beasts couldn't hit it, yet it could hit them.

When you think about it, without these limitations, the hidden mechanism talent would be considered a unique divine talent.

However, even with limitations, the hidden mechanism is very powerful.

Because the hidden mechanical space is like a personal armory, as long as the household robot is equipped with enough weapons, its firepower won't be weaker than Xiaoruan's, but consuming these weapons requires spending money.

Li Cunxu felt a bit of a headache; nurturing mechanical pets is already costly, and with this talent, the expenses are even more daunting. Who knows if the future budget can handle it.

However, handle it or not, it must be managed; after all, this is a happy kind of worry.

Others want this but don't have it.

"Do you have a name?"

Li Cunxu asked with anticipation. Though he was bad at naming, he was eager to give the pet beast a name.

"I have a name. I gave myself the name 'Mechanical Pupil.'

Li Cunxu's expression was enigmatic; the name felt familiar, like it was the boss of a high-difficulty dungeon.

Seeing Li Cunxu's expression, Mechanical Pupil thought it was disappointed not to have been named.

"You can give me a new name."

Li Cunxu shook his head and didn't give Mechanical Pupil a new name. He didn't care for that, and even if he came up with a new name, he didn't think it would sound better than what it had chosen for itself.

"You have a name but not a surname. How about you take mine—Li, Li Mechanical Pupil."

Mechanical Pupil was deeply touched by accepting this surname.

Li Cunxu smiled slightly, bringing forth "One Hundred and Eight Ways to Cultivate Pet Beast Relationships," a book compiled by players that he had not read in vain.

Giving a name, sharing a surname, all helped to bridge the bond between Beast Master and pet beast.

Li Cunxu built a small house in a secluded area of the junkyard.

Below the small house was a mysterious mechanism; Xiaoruan had dug out a large space underground.

Little White Spider morphed into a beautiful girl in a white lab coat and set up an experimental site with instruments picked from the junkyard.

Over time, most of Little White Spider's fate points were allocated to learning abilities; it could read more books, and its thinking ability matched that of a doctor, even slightly exceeding.

It was time to research the Spirit Crystal.

"The key to making Spirit Crystals involves two points: extracting the essence of the ingredients and compressing it.

The extraction of ingredient essence requires an extraction instrument.

The compression of the ingredient essence requires a compressor."

"The key is these two machines. As long as these two machines are made, producing the Spirit Crystal won't be a problem."

Little White Spider questioned, "Master, how are you so certain this method can produce Spirit Crystals?"

Li Cunxu found it hard to explain his crossing into the game world. It wasn't distrust towards Little White Spider, but this world was deep, and some words were better left unsaid, for once spoken, others would know.

Some pet beasts hold omniscient authority.

"I have seen glimpses of the future."

Little White Spider understood.

Little White Spider's main body focused on researching and creating the Spirit Crystal while its clone went out to pick any useful discarded instruments. If nothing was found, it would craft one by hand with mechanical parts.

After a few days, Little White Spider advanced to the Bronze level, increasing its clone by one—a Black Iron clone and a Bronze clone.

The efficiency of picking machines doubled.

The night the small house was built, Xiaoruan, Little White Spider, Shadow Raven, and Li Cunxu surrounded Mechanical Pupil in the center, ready and waiting, Mechanical Pupil's little eyes showing some panic and confusion.

"What... what is this for?"

Li Cunxu said, "To give you a surprise, just close your eyes."

"Divine Endowment."

Li Cunxu lightly tapped Mechanical Pupil's head.

A strong blue light illuminated the entire basement.

This time, the light was too fast and bright; even Li Cunxu, prepared, couldn't avoid it. His eyes suffered, akin to receiving a flashbang indoors.

After a long while, Li Cunxu recovered and couldn't stop the tears from his eyes.

The first thing he did when his eyes recovered was to check its panel.

[Pet Beast]: Household Robot (Machine Soul Variant) (Mechanical Pupil)

[Attribute]: Gold, Thunder

[Level]: Black Iron Level 3

[Talent]: Hidden Mechanism (Gold)

[Divine Gift Talent]: Quantum Stacking

[Status]: Fear

[Skills]: Cleaning, Sweeping, Vacuuming

[Potential]: Moderate Lord

[Quantum Stacking: In the Quantum Stacking state, the same type of equipment can be installed repeatedly without limitation.]

This time, the introduction to the Divine Gift Talent was unexpectedly brief, but the growth potential was super strong.

Even if Mechanical Pupil couldn't break through to King-level, installing ten nuclear photon cannons would make its attack power rival the King-level.

Installing a thousand nuclear photon cannons would make it rival the Venerable King level.

Installing a hundred thousand nuclear photon cannons would make it rival the Monarch level.

The same goes for attack power and defense power.

Mechanical Pupil can install countless Defense Energy Shields.

Li Cunxu now had a mechanical pet tank.

However, there's a big problem: to make use of the Quantum Stacking talent, countless pieces of equipment must be installed. These don't magically appear and must be purchased.
