Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 195: Antiquities and Mechanics

Shi Yu directly entered the Mechanical Tree Club.

The club was an open facility, providing various services, including accepting missions, accepting activity endorsements, and substitute matches. Anyone could come.

When Shi Yu entered, the Mechanical Tree in the lobby scanned over.

In the distance at the counter, a woman wearing casual clothes, about thirty years old, also shifted her gaze from the computer and looked over.

At this time, Shi Yu was still wearing a black and red battle suit, with a small red sword-shaped pendant hanging around his neck, looking dashing and handsome.

That pendant was actually Little Chi Tong.

As a spirit body, Little Chi Tong's form wasn't so fixed, just like ghosts and spirits.

Even without mastering Multiplication, shrinking and deforming weren't difficult.

It could even pass through walls.

Of course, this kind of shrinking definitely didn't have the skill effect of accelerating the recovery of physical strength, it was purely for convenience.

Little Chi Tong still liked being close to Shi Yu like this, much more reliable and closer to Shi Yu than Eleven, Chong Chong, and Ginseng Baby.

This made Shi Yu realize that when choosing a pet, you really had to start from the egg!

After entering, Shi Yu's gaze turned to the Mechanical Tree.

He smiled brightly and walked towards the Mechanical Tree step by step.

Shi Yu was just about to use telepathy to greet the Mechanical Tree, but in the next moment, the Mechanical Tree's expression suddenly changed drastically.

The Mechanical Alien Tree had always been near the entrance of the hall.

As the signature pet of this club, it stood here, working as a greeter, security guard, cleaner, air freshener, and gardener.

Right now, seeing Shi Yu and sensing the aura of the small sword spirit hanging around Shi Yu's neck, it suddenly glared angrily, its security guard attribute activated.

The giant tree body wearing mechanical armor trembled slightly and roared.

"No!!!! (It's bad, the challenger is here!!!)" Its voice was powerful, reaching Shi Yu's ears.

Shi Yu's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he froze in place.

Shi Yu: ???

What the hell?

I came in with such a kind and sunny smile, how do I look like a challenger?

This tree's IQ is problematic.

Side effects of the Mutant Body skill?

Our Ginseng Baby is quite smart, hopefully it won't become stupid after mutating.

"From the club next door?"

At the same time, at the counter, the woman wearing casual clothes who had been playing on the computer stopped her work, walked over, and stood next to the Mechanical Tree, scrutinizing Shi Yu.

"The club next door?" Shi Yu knew it was a misunderstanding as soon as he heard it.

"You've mistaken me for someone else."

"Isn't it?" The woman was stunned and looked at the Mechanical Tree.

The Mechanical Tree widened its light bulb-like eyes and pointed at the small sword spirit hanging around Shi Yu's neck with its vines.

Judging from the aura, it was.

At this time, Little Chi Tong vaguely woke up from its sleep, who's making so much noise!

Meng Qing looked at the slightly shaking small sword spirit and sighed: "..."

"Then it must be a case of mistaken identity." She thought Shi Yu's age really didn't look like someone from next door.

"Since you say you're not, then you're not. The Mechanical Tree probably made a mistake."

"Sorry for the poor hospitality."

The Mechanical Tree scratched its head, a case of mistaken identity?

"It's okay." Shi Yu said casually, "But what's the club next door..."

Meng Qing said, "Another club called the Antique Shop Club. The pets they contract are basically ancient artifacts preserved from ancient times. You know, similar to your little sword spirit. Maybe that's why the Mechanical Tree misunderstood you."

"Our two clubs have never had a good relationship. Challenging each other is a regular occurrence. Sorry for making you laugh."

"I see, it's nothing, a small matter." Shi Yu smiled slightly, not paying attention.

But he added silently in his heart...

Your circle is really messed up.

No...it seems like everywhere is chaotic. There's competition between schools, competition between cities, competition between consortiums, so it's normal for clubs to dislike each other.

"So, what's your business? Registration?"

"Oh, by the way, I'm the owner of this club, Meng Qing."

Meng Qing, the owner of the Mechanical Tree Club, guessed, seeing that Shi Yu wasn't old.

Shi Yu looked to be about 20 years old, not like someone who had come to discuss business. So he was probably here to register for the club's newcomer selection?

But...having contracted a sword spirit, he should go to those conservative guys next door.

Coming to the Mechanical Tree Club, which is dominated by modern mechanical types, was he lost...?

"Registration? No." Shi Yu shook his head.

Speaking of which, this lady is the owner of this club?

So she's a rich woman!

Shi Yu thought she was just a receptionist. His eyesight is failing...

He said, "Hello, Boss Meng. I'm a breeder. I've been researching mutation evolution topics recently. I heard that the Mechanical Tree Club has stable channels for cultivating alien trees, so I came to visit."

Shi Yu looked at the Mechanical Tree next to him, feeling helpless.

Copying mutant body skills is actually quite troublesome.

He had experimented with it before.

This kind of nearly passive physique skill has to be seen in action before it can be copied.

In other words, he had to see the Alien Tree use Mutant Body for mutation evolution before he could successfully touch and copy it.

If he directly touched this Alien Tree now, he wouldn't be able to copy anything.

He had tried it on other pets like the Gem Cat and even Ginseng Baby when he was bored.

So, if he wanted to copy this kind of passive physique skill, he had to find an opportunity.

"Breeder?" Meng Qing looked at Shi Yu suspiciously.

Really?

She didn't believe it.

Shi Yu was too young. At this age, even if he was a breeder, he would only be an apprentice. There weren't many professionals.

"Do you have a certificate? If you're a professional breeder, I can take you on a tour." Meng Qing said.

"Uh." Shi Yu was stunned. Where would he get that?

The only certificate he had related to breeding was his graduation certificate from the breeding department of the First High School of Icefield City...

That thing could only be used as a certificate for an apprentice breeder.

"Breeding is my secondary occupation. Will my university student ID work?" Shi Yu asked quietly.

"You're from Capital University?" Meng Qing showed an interested expression.

"No, I'm from Ancient Capital University." Shi Yu showed his student ID to Boss Meng.

"Ancient Capital?"

"Shi Yu... Department of Archeology, Ancient Capital University."

Staring at the student ID, Meng Qing was stunned. Not from Capital University. Ancient Capital was so far away. How did a student from there end up in Capital City?

"Ancient Capital isn't bad. So you're a top university student." Meng Qing nodded.

In this world, the beast tamers from the Nine Great Universities were still very representative.

Here, people entered society after graduating from high school. High school was equivalent to Earth's university, with all kinds of majors. It allowed students to choose their future direction a few years in advance.

And there were only nine beast taming universities, the Nine Great Universities. The entrance requirements were very high. Those who could enter the university were all elites.

Someone like an archeology student from Ancient Capital University, upon hearing that identity, would be immediately thought of as a top performer in that year's first-tier city professional assessment, a super genius. Otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the ace major of Ancient Capital University.

Generally speaking, this kind of person had a high probability of becoming a master-level beast tamer in the future.

As a social person who had been in society for many years, Meng Qing was willing to interact more with such a promising genius.

Meng Qing said, "But you're an archeology student, how did you end up minoring in breeding? Is university life that relaxed?"

She hadn't gone to university because it was meaningless. She had a club at home to inherit, so she had entered society early to hone herself.

"An excellent beast tamer has to know a little bit of everything." This was Shi Yu's honest opinion.

"That's true." Meng Qing nodded.

Because Shi Yu was a university student, she talked to Shi Yu with great patience.

What if Shi Yu was interested in joining the club after graduation?

Each consortium supported dozens of clubs, and there was fierce competition between each club.

The professional leagues and master leagues between club beast tamers were even more competitive than the national competitions for university student beast tamers.

The national competition, the club's professional league, and the master league were pretty much the most valuable large-scale events in the country at the moment.

As for the military exercises for the younger generation held by the Beast Taming Legion, those were generally not open to the public.

In general, universities cultivated comprehensive talents who would go on to various fields and had strong freedom.

Clubs cultivated star-type beast tamers, who were part of the commercial operation and national spiritual needs fields and were the key to attracting most ordinary people to become beast tamers and understand beast tamers. They were also the main force in developing the domestic economy.

And the legion cultivated combat-type beast tamers.

Shi Yu, who came from a famous school, was a resource in Meng Qing's eyes.

After all, after graduating from university, the beast tamer's destination and choice of profession were still decided by the beast tamer themselves.

"Hmm..." At this time, Meng Qing agreed to Shi Yu's request to visit the Mechanical Tree Club.

However, after looking at Shi Yu for a while, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, classmate, why do you look so familiar?"

The owner of this club looked at Shi Yu's face and fell into thought.

Had she seen this face somewhere?

"Uh. Maybe I have a common face?"

Shi Yu felt guilty. Could it be that she had heard of the Iron-Eating Beast Knight?

They were several cities apart.

Moreover, he was only trending for half a day. Most importantly, club beast tamers probably wouldn't have the time to pay attention to these things.

"No, I've definitely seen you somewhere." The young female boss thought carefully.

She usually liked to eat melon seeds and watch dramas. Apart from supervising the beast tamers signed by the club to train, she had nothing else to do. She was usually very idle, but she came into contact with a lot of news.

"You..." The female boss stared at Shi Yu.

"Ancient Capital, Ancient Capital University, you're that champion of the professional assessment in Ancient Capital this year??"

After a moment, she remembered something and suddenly widened her eyes.

To be honest, she hadn't even remembered the names of the professional assessment champions in Capital City and even Imperial Capital and Magic Capital because those people had little to do with the Mechanical Tree Club. They would definitely directly target the Nine Great Universities or be poached by the internal consortium.

But the news that the Ancient Capital professional assessment champion had made a few months ago was too big, making a deeper impression!

A rising star in the archeological world, a genius archeologist who discovered the evolution type of the Iron-Eating Beast, and an Iron-Eating Beast Knight. These topics put together were more memorable than a single assessment champion.

Shi Yu: "..."

She really recognized him.

"It's me..." He didn't expect that after a few months, someone would still remember him. However, this also indirectly showed that his publicity effect was very good?

Senior Panda, pay me!

"It's really you..." Meng Qing was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"What do you want to see? I can take you to see it."

Even if Shi Yu had nothing to do with the Mechanical Tree Club in the future, she had to get to know such a super potential genius.

Working hard in society for so long had made her understand the importance of connections.

"That..."

"Excuse me, are there any Alien Trees in the club that are waiting to evolve?"

"I want to observe the process of Alien Trees mutating and evolving." Shi Yu asked.

Shi Yu's words made Meng Qing pause.

This wasn't just a simple visit!

Although it wasn't a big deal or a private matter...but it had to be said that Shi Yu had come at the right time.

"Is it difficult? I can pay a certain observation fee." Shi Yu said.

"It's not necessary." Meng Qing's expression relaxed and said, "Two days later, two newcomers' Alien Trees will be undergoing modification mutation. I can take you to visit then."

"Thank you very much." Shi Yu thanked.

"You're welcome!" The female boss patted Shi Yu's shoulder and smiled, "I knew you couldn't have a common face. Shi Yu, you're so handsome. I just glanced at the picture in the news and completely remembered you."

Shi Yu smiled awkwardly.

Boss, you're going down a wide path. Your mouth is as sweet as if it's been smeared with honey.

Boss Meng smiled and said, "The mechanical modifications will only arrive from the headquarters in two days. Why don't I take you around the club today?"

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded and said, "I'm still very curious about the operation of the club."

Boss Meng smiled and said, "Okay, let me introduce you. Although our Mechanical Tree Club isn't qualified to participate in the Master League yet, it's a popular team in the Professional League. Overall, its strength is still very good."

Meng Qing introduced to Shi Yu, "Let me take you to the training area of the official members first."

...

The Mechanical Tree Club was very large. After all, it was a club with a complete commercial chain, and its facilities were much more complete than the martial arts gym that Master Lin Hongnian had set up himself.

Meng Qing first took Shi Yu to the training ground.

Currently, there were 6 beast tamers and 6 Mechanical Alien Trees practicing in the training ground.

Judging from the current training tasks, it seemed to be impact resistance training.

The mechanically modified Alien Tree still retained most of the characteristics of tree-type lifeforms that made it difficult to move. It was like a fixed turret, and it had high requirements for the ability to withstand hits.

"They are official members of the club. Each of them is a senior beast tamer." Boss Meng and Shi Yu stood on the high platform, looking down.

The six official members she mentioned were all 25-30 years old, four men and two women, very young, and their looks were not low.

This was normal. After all, the club was to create star beast tamers, who had to take all kinds of endorsements and earn money. It was also eating youthful meals.

"Are the members of the club mainly Mechanical Trees?" Shi Yu asked.

"Yes." Boss Meng nodded.

Indeed, as she said, the Mechanical Tree Club, which had a stable route for cultivating Alien Trees, was using the Mechanical Tree of the high commander race as the core of its tactics. In a competition like the Professional League, which had no master-level beast tamers and no monarch-level pets, it was quite competitive.

"Classmate Shi Yu, are you interested in Alien Trees and mechanical pets?" Meng Qing asked, "If you sign a contract with us, you can get a free Alien Tree and a set of modified machinery with high commander potential."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you." Shi Yu said.

Sweet talk is sweet talk, but trying to trick me into working for you, no way.

Shi Yu smiled helplessly: "Currently, academics are still important."

He belonged to an official organization, and his future development path had nothing to do with the consortium and club system.

However, there was no connection between the consortium and the official side. After all, many factions in the association were supported by the consortium.

It was said that the founder of the Century Consortium behind the Mechanical Tree, which mainly produced technological products, was a disciple of the legendary beast tamer who created the Eastern Wasteland Mechanical System.

Currently, this legendary mechanical giant was likely the only living legendary beast tamer in Eastern Wasteland. After all, according to normal age calculations, he should not have passed away yet.

However, it was true that there had been no news of this person for the past decade or so. Many subsequent top mechanical lifeforms were developed by rising stars in the mechanical field.

Could it be that this person had also disappeared like the legend of Lin Feng? Or was he in seclusion to break through to the Mythical level? Shi Yu mumbled.

The power of a guardian-level forbidden weapon surpassed nuclear weapons. As for a mythical-level technological weapon, was it a planet-destroying weapon?

With Shi Yu's level, he couldn't even come into contact with these things.

"I understand. Academics are important." Boss Meng smiled. She was just asking casually and didn't expect Shi Yu to really come.

With Shi Yu's identity as the Iron-Eating Beast evolution planner, cooperating directly with major consortiums or the association official would be much more promising than joining a small club.

After a moment, the training below seemed to have ended a round. Those club members discovered that their boss was standing above, and one of them couldn't help but shout, "Boss, do you have any instructions?"

"Eh, is there a new person?" A female teammate curiously looked at Shi Yu next to Meng Qing.

"This is not a new person." Meng Qing smiled. The club usually recruited beast tamers who had been eliminated in the professional assessment or had not been admitted to an ideal school and were unwilling to repeat a year. The best clubs couldn't recruit a champion like Shi Yu.

"Let me introduce you. This is the champion of this year's Ancient Capital professional assessment."

"The discoverer of the Iron-Eating Beast evolution form, an archeologist from the Department of Archeology, Ancient Capital University, Shi Yu."

After speaking, she walked down with Shi Yu.

Meng Qing's words made the people below quiet for a moment. Five people had expressions of astonishment and confusion. Another male team member suddenly remembered something and said, "Is that Shi Yu?"

"Who is that?" A female teammate next to him asked.

"This...how should I say this? Just know that he's a very famous champion of the professional assessment." The person next to her didn't know how to explain...

After a moment, Meng Qing and Shi Yu came down, and the few of them met. Boss Meng continued to introduce:

"Classmate Shi Yu is here to visit the Mechanical Alien Tree. I'm just taking him for a stroll."

"Oh, oh, welcome."

"Hello, Classmate Shi Yu." The six team members heard their boss's introduction and greeted him one after another.

However, soon, their attention was attracted by the sword spirit pendant on Shi Yu's neck.

"Sword Spirit??" The male team member who recognized Shi Yu looked at this pendant and said in surprise, "Did you contract a sword spirit for your third pet..."

"Oh, right, my name is Lei Liang. I've seen your...video?"

Little Chi Tong tilted its sword body. Video? What video?

"Sort of." Shi Yu smiled slightly and said, "But it's not the third one. It's the fourth one."

Shi Yu's words stunned everyone again.

Wasn't Shi Yu the champion of this year's assessment? Was he already a senior beast tamer so quickly???

Meng Qing was also stunned. This... Was this the standard for their club's main force as a freshman?

What a monster!

"Wasn't he just an elementary-level a few months ago..." Lei Liang said blankly.

"You don't understand the world of geniuses." A female team member next to him said.

"I heard that this type of artifact spirit pet is more popular in Ancient Capital. Is it true?" She then asked curiously.

Shi Yu: "It's not that popular, but there are indeed more spirit communicators in Ancient Capital."

"So, mechanical types aren't very popular in Ancient Capital?" She continued to ask.

"No, there are many."

Seeing that everyone was talking about the sword spirit, Boss Meng smiled and told the story of how the Mechanical Tree had mistaken Shi Yu for a challenger from the club next door.

The club members also smiled awkwardly.

Hearing this again, Shi Yu couldn't help but look at Little Chi Tong and asked curiously, "Does everyone pay so much attention to this type of pet because of the club next door?"

Boss Meng smiled and said, "There may be this reason. We and the club next door are old enemies. It can be traced back to my father's generation. He and the owner of the club next door were originally good friends. They both liked antique swords and blade-type pets and had the same pursuits. However, later, because the mechanical type rose, my father went to switch to the mechanical type. The two of them also had a conflict because of this and parted ways."

"Is it a dispute between the old and the new?" Shi Yu asked. This question didn't seem to be limited to these two clubs.

In modern times, antique swords and blade-type weapons could no longer give birth to spirits. Only a batch of weapons preserved from ancient times or the spirits of those weapons remained.

Compared to these, the mechanical type was a new life that had replaced these antiques.

In modern times, few beast tamers were willing to contract a sword, a bow, or a set of armor like ancient beast tamers. From a cost-performance perspective, they were completely exploded by the mechanical type, which had greater potential.

The former was rare, expensive, and had low potential, while the latter was a new attribute that was relatively popular and had high growth potential.

In the eyes of most people, the gap between an ancient sword spirit and a mechanical lightsaber was more than a star or two.

It could be said that the rise of the mechanical type indirectly accelerated the decline of antique swords and blade-type pets. The two had always been at odds.

"It seems to have a bit of this meaning." Meng Qing nodded.

"Speaking of which, are archeologists all ancient fighting faction?"

Seeing that Shi Yu had contracted a sword spirit, and with Shi Yu's identity as an archeologist, Lei Liang subconsciously guessed and judged.

The ancient fighting faction was like ancient beast tamers, contracting armor, swords, and using pets of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting type to fight. Generally, it was in opposition to the modern mechanical type. Now, only a small number of inheritors were left. Mainly, these kinds of lifeforms were no longer born in nature.

"Say less." Meng Qing glared at Lei Liang and suddenly felt that if they continued to talk like this, everyone would start debating the ancient and new dispute.

"It shouldn't be." Shi Yu didn't care much. He said, "Actually, in my opinion, they're all the same."

"There's no distinction between good and bad pet types. The power that can be exerted completely depends on the beast tamer who uses them." Animals, elements, undead, antique swords, and mechanical lifeforms, under the same racial level, Shi Yu felt that their potential was similar. If the stats were maxed out, they wouldn't be much different.

"Maybe I'll choose a mechanical type for the next pet."

Shi Yu's idea was to have all kinds of pets.

Animals, plants, undead, machinery, elements... It wasn't a collection hobby. It was purely because Shi Yu felt that their respective abilities were irreplaceable.

For example, Shi Yu still basically had no ocean combat ability. On Blue Planet, the ocean also occupied most of the area. The ocean was a forbidden zone for humans from ancient times to the present. Even those legendary beast tamers could not conquer the ocean.

Many powerful sea beasts lived in the deep sea, with incredibly rich resources and many underwater ruins. The Dragon Emperor once said that if marine creatures collectively attacked the land one day, then no human country could stop it.

It was only because the land's resources were not suitable for sea beasts that the two had been at peace.

However, if Shi Yu wanted to explore the ocean, he would have to contract a water-type pet, preferably an elemental type.

"Mi!~~" Little Chi Tong bumped into Shi Yu. Even if that's what he said, couldn't he praise it!

What did he mean by "all the same"!

It had also learned about mechanical lifeforms. Weren't they just giant robots? It could chop one with a sword!

"Good~" Shi Yu comforted Little Chi Tong. It couldn't chop. Didn't it also like refrigerators? That was the prototype of mechanical lifeforms!

Little Chi Tong: "!!"

Little Chi Tong was stunned. So that was it. Then mechanical types were pretty good.

"Like my Chi Tong, its strength is very strong." Shi Yu smiled slightly and added.

Chi Tong... Was that the name of this sword spirit?

Everyone looked at the small sword spirit again.

"That makes sense. But if the next one is a mechanical type, are you really not considering a Mechanical Alien Tree?" Boss Meng still didn't forget and said, "If you need it, you can also look for me. I still know many mechanical masters from the consortium."

The Century Consortium mainly produced technological products, and there were many mechanical masters inside. Currently, the mechanical modification devices of the Mechanical Tree Club were all provided by the Century Consortium.

"Okay, I won't be polite if I need it." Shi Yu smiled slightly.

"Come, come, come, take a look at our club's Mechanical Alien Tree." Meng Qing thought of Shi Yu's main business here. She looked at the six Mechanical Trees standing on the scene and introduced them.

Shi Yu looked over.

"They were doing impact resistance training just now, right."

"Yes." Meng Qing nodded.

"Just now, that was the Hardening skill, right." Shi Yu asked.

[Racial Skills]: Mutant Body, Tricolor Bullet, Giant Mechanical Arm, Lock-on, Hardening, Giant Tree Cannon

Recalling the skills of the Mechanical Alien Tree, Shi Yu pondered slightly.

Hardening was an intermediate skill that contained earth and wood dual-type power.

The effect was to harden wood-type skills or plant life, integrate the power of the earth and wood, and make the plant as solid as the earth and stone, turning it into a hardened plant.

It was a defensive skill, but it combined offense and defense, similar to Hardening.

Honestly speaking, this skill was not bad. It was one of the few racial skills that plants had evolved in harsh environments.

Shi Yu had always intended to find a defensive skill for Ginseng Baby. The most common and conventional skill was the Wood Shield skill, but because it was too common, Shi Yu wasn't too satisfied.

He wanted a skill that was rarer and more functional, so that it would be easier to form mysteries with other skills and wouldn't be eliminated so quickly.

For example, Wood Shield would be completely replaced by Plant Control in the future, but Hardening was a skill that could be used in combination with Plant Control.

Imagine that in the future, Ginseng Baby summoned a huge Wood Shield to protect itself. If it was just an ordinary Plant Wood Shield, the opponent would burn it directly with a group of the same level of flames. But if it was a Wood Shield after Hardening, it would contain some earth-type properties and wouldn't be so restrained, greatly increasing the power of the plant.

This kind of skill was more difficult to train, but Shi Yu didn't care.

In addition to Mutant Body, Shi Yu was a little tempted after seeing the Hardening skill. He hadn't seen this skill in the Ancient University Botanical Garden.

Now, Ginseng Baby had mastered the max-level "Skill Close to Dao" Earth Chain and used the power of the earth very well. It was very compatible with this skill. After learning it, even if Shi Yu didn't add points, it was estimated that Ginseng Baby could quickly master it and even train it to perfection in a short time.

If it learned this, then Ginseng Baby would really be invincible standing on the earth.

"Yes." Everyone answered.

"Can I touch and take a look?" Shi Yu asked.

Meng Qing smiled and said, "Of course, feel free. They are very gentle."

Shi Yu came to a Mechanical Tree and touched its hardened bark and said, "The cultivation is very good. One of my pets also masters Hardening, but it's currently a bit inferior to their Hardening."

[Collected successfully]

Everyone smiled. They had specialized cultivation secrets for the various skills of the Mechanical Tree. The whole family relied on the Mechanical Tree for food, so naturally there were some things.

The Hardening mastered by Shi Yu's pet was probably only at the proficient level, but these Mechanical Trees had trained Hardening to the perfect level!

"Experiencing it by touch is not very intuitive. You can attack with your pet and see. Don't be polite. Let them take it as training." Lei Liang smiled and said, "You can let that little sword spirit try. Their defense is still very strong."

Mechanical Trees: ???

Human language?

Shi Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "No need."

Little Chi Tong was only at the transcendent level. It was meaningless. Ordinary attacks probably wouldn't work. If it used its full strength... Shi Yu was afraid that the other party couldn't withstand it.

No matter how strong Hardening was, it was still a defense-focused material, like Hardening. But Little Chi Tong mainly attacked the soul.

Even if there was a big level difference, Shi Yu was afraid that Little Chi Tong would cut this group of big guys with less than 40,000 energy points and cause them psychological trauma.

As a high-level overlord race, Little Chi Tong had very high talent. Like Severing Souls, Yang Flame, and even Crossed Swords, although it had only reached the entry-level, it could easily combine them. Flame and soul attacks... Blood-type Mechanical Trees.

"I mainly want to observe, record, and study the difference between the Alien Tree before and after mutation evolution." Shi Yu said.

"No problem." Meng Qing smiled and said, "I'll definitely let you see it in two days."

Next, the Mechanical Tree Club warmly entertained this genius archeologist Shi Yu. However, Shi Yu didn't stay long. After all, they still had to train. Seeing that he didn't have the opportunity to copy the Mutant Body today, Shi Yu and Boss Meng exchanged phone numbers and soon took the initiative to say goodbye.

...

After leaving the Mechanical Tree Club, Shi Yu took a deep breath.

He thought about it. He didn't seem to have signed up for the Butterfly Transformation Conference!

The Butterfly Transformation Conference was held in the Divine Feather Mountains of Capital City, which was in a wilderness area, and not everyone could go.

Butterfly Transformation Valley was separated from the city by a maze-like forest. At least a professional beast tamer could pass through normally. If an apprentice beast tamer wanted to enter, they had to find a bodyguard.

In addition, the Butterfly Transformation Valley area was limited, and the official also had to determine whether the beast tamer who went there was sincerely helping the pet evolve or was purely there to watch the fun. The latter would probably not be able to enter easily without a strong enough background.

Generally speaking, every beast tamer who went to the Divine Feather Mountains and the Butterfly Transformation Conference had to register in advance and record their identity.

This was also to prevent some outlaws from entering the mountains. After all, in that chaotic place, most of the cocoons probably wouldn't be next to their masters. The cocoons had no combat power, so if it wasn't strictly controlled, poachers could take advantage of it. What's more, if the guardian was angered, it would be even more serious.

"Let's register first, don't wait until the last day to queue up." After thinking about it, Shi Yu quickly made a decision.

The process of registering for the Butterfly Transformation Conference was also very simple. He had to take out his certificate to register and show the official personnel the cocoon he had contracted.

When Shi Yu came to Hundred Butterfly Town, which led to the Divine Feather Mountains in Capital City, he found that there were only a few hundred beast tamers queuing up for registration here. It was possible that a large number of them had already registered in advance, or it was possible that they had not yet arrived in Capital City.

The Butterfly Transformation Valley could accommodate 100,000 people and 100,000 cocoons. Although the threshold for this Butterfly Transformation Conference was not high, and there was an opportunity to see the guardian, it seemed that not many beast tamers had come to participate in the Butterfly Transformation Conference.

This was because most people didn't have the Green Caterpillar evolution plan. Even if a Green Caterpillar cocoon that evolved normally into a Wind Crystal Butterfly received benefits in the Butterfly Transformation Conference, it would at most be comparable to a middle-level transcendent race. It was not of much significance. The Butterfly Transformation Conference was ultimately a stage prepared for beast tamers with excellent evolution plans.

For example, beast tamers who had mastered the evolution plan of a high-level commander race might be able to use the Butterfly Transformation Conference to make their pet's race potential comparable to the monarch level or even reach the monarch race.

Therefore, most of the evolution positions might still be used by the official themselves to train and evolve a certain butterfly species through the Butterfly God uniformly.

"It's my turn." After a moment, Shi Yu moved.

There were ten halls queuing up for registration at the same time. Shi Yu didn't wait much time. After about 40 minutes, it was his turn.

Shi Yu entered this hall. The person in charge of registration was a young lady. This time, the other party was more like a service staff member, unlike Boss Meng just now, who was actually sitting in the hall playing on the computer and receiving guests as a boss...

"Hello, please give me your beast tamer license." The registration lady smiled sweetly and said to Shi Yu.

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded and handed his intermediate beast tamer license to the other party.

Speaking of which, should he find Master Qu Jie to take the advanced license after he went back?

Would he still be the one to test him?

Master Qu Jie's sealing talent was still not bad...

"Please verify."

"Name, Shi Yu, age, 19 years old, level, intermediate professional beast tamer, place of residence, Icefield City, Pingcheng District, examination location, Ancient Capital Beast Tamer Association." The registration lady routinely started to register.

At this age and level, he was theoretically very strong. However, in the past few days, the registration lady had seen too many geniuses from the Nine Great Universities who had come here to participate in the Butterfly Transformation Conference and had become numb.

"No problem." Shi Yu nodded.

"Next, please summon your pet that will participate in the Butterfly Transformation Conference. It must be in a contracted state, and it can only be a Green Caterpillar cocoon."
