"Aba aba..."

After reading the self-study method for the "Hanging Fruit," or rather, the "Cultivation Fruit," Shi Yu and Ginseng Baby fell into contemplation. The familiar yet foreign process gave them a bit of a headache. Shi Yu felt that the high school biology knowledge he had forgotten was now flaunting itself before him.

The teaching content, in a nutshell, was to cultivate the Cultivation Fruit through the hybridization of World Tree fruit and Time Fruit. The hybridization process also required the assistance of various top-quality resources such as Memory Droplets, Morning Star Light, and Aura of the Primordial Chaos.

Although it seemed outrageous, upon closer thought, Shi Yu felt there was some scientific basis to it. The Cultivation Fruit, in essence, allowed the body to cultivate on its own. The Time Fruit, which could obtain future power, the World Tree Fruit, which could enhance comprehension, and the Memory Droplets, which could increase memory capacity – when these things were mixed together, wouldn't they allow the body to form physical memories, thereby cultivating on its own?

Wonderful! Upon careful analysis, it was indeed possible. However, the pressure now shifted to Ginseng Baby's side. Shi Yu looked at the frowning Ginseng Baby. All the pets looked at the frowning Ginseng Baby. After a moment, Ginseng Baby's expression became resolute. Anyway, it was the clone that would suffer. Let's do it!

"Yi!!!" Ginseng Baby patted its chest, indicating that it would take care of it. Wasn't it just researching a new variety of plant fruit? No big deal. With its rich experience in researching energy fruits that backfire on teammates, it was most adept at this kind of thing. Now that the development steps were even provided, if it still couldn't research it, then it shouldn't be called a Research Ginseng.

"Worthy of you, it's all thanks to you taking so many classes at the Ancient Capital University," Shi Yu said, teary-eyed.

"Then good luck to you guys?" With the deduction completed, Shi Yu temporarily didn't want to worry about the follow-up. He said to Secretary Lin with blurred eyes, "Lin, for the resources we don't have, just help me buy them from various channels."

"If there's not enough money, or you can't find the resources, just tell me. I'm going to sleep first. During my sleep, Ginseng Baby and Su Su, don't forget to keep nourishing me." Shi Yu wasn't too worried about these two points. It was one thing to lack rare resources on Blue Star, but if there weren't any on King Planet, then he would definitely tear down King Planet's reputation as the center of the universe.

Next, Shi Yu returned to the vice-president's exclusive secret realm villa and fell into a deep sleep, with infusion vines inserted into his body, flashing with light from time to time, looking like he was terminally ill.

During this time, Secretary Lin silently began searching for the fertilizer needed for the Cultivation Fruit. Fortunately, Su Su could create Memory Droplets, so there was no need to find a place to buy them. However, Morning Star Light, Aura of the Primordial Chaos, and seven or eight other god-level resources were not cheap. Adding them together was more expensive than low-quality transcendent resources, which made Butler Lin's eyes darken.

Fortunately, they could all be bought through the channels of the Environmental Protection Association, but unfortunately, the large initial funding that Shi Yu had just obtained by joining the Environmental Protection Association was not enough. He might even have to dip into his own pocket to add some.

"Sigh~" Lin sighed, feeling a little heartache looking at the team spending money like water. You see, it hadn't even had time to find materials to transform itself into a star-level life. Without becoming a star-level life, it couldn't learn Void Storm, and couldn't take Shi Yu and the others on a star journey. This was another large sum of money.

It felt that the initial funding Shi Yu received from Blue Star and Kong Di might not all be invested in stat points. There were still many places where it could be used. It seemed that Su Su had to work hard!

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yu was shaken awake by Lin. Shi Yu said vaguely, "What's wrong? Is it time for dinner?"

The white Rubik's Cube flew in the air, and the white-haired loli in the screen said, "No! Senior Kong Di is here, right outside."

"Huh?? Senior Kong Di is here?" Shi Yu gradually woke up, rubbed his eyes, but was still a bit out of breath. After getting up, he immediately ran to receive Kong Di.

Outside the park, Kong Di looked at the luxurious secret realm villa and secretly shook his head. Why didn't he have such good treatment when he first came to the universe? He was first teleported to a war-torn planet, and only survived the war by relying on his space-type advantage. After experiencing countless hardships, he finally came to King Planet. It took him hundreds of years to gain a foothold.

Compared to the current Shi Yu, Kong Di couldn't help but curse that comparing people is infuriating.

"Senior Kong Di, why are you here?" Shi Yu asked with surprise after walking out.

"What do you think? You became a three-star purifier and also became the vice-president of the Cang Lan Environmental Protection Association. Such a big thing happened that even the Suspended Realm was alarmed. How could I not come and see?" Kong Di said after a moment of silence.

".Haha, I didn't expect it either. Isn't this just a coincidence?" Shi Yu scratched his head and smiled, "This trip was worth it..."

Kong Di felt that Shi Yu was acting like he was still complaining after getting a good deal, and couldn't help but say, "Alright, I've already met and talked with President Xing Nan. Next, you can cultivate in the Cang Lan Realm. It's a rare opportunity, so seize it. If you become core figures in the Environmental Protection Association in the future, it will be of great benefit to Dong Huang and even the entire Blue Star. Of course, the biggest beneficiaries will be yourselves."

"This kind of opportunity is what countless people dream of."

"I understand," Shi Yu nodded and said, "That's what I intend to do. Staying here temporarily will also make it easier to participate in the God Sealing Battle."

Kong Di smiled, but the next moment, he looked at Shi Yu's face and said, "Why do you look so weak, just like that kid Lin Feng?"

"Uh, do I?" Shi Yu said, "It might be because using Beast Taming abilities consumes too much energy. It's alright, it'll be fine after a while."

Kong Di pondered, "It's good if you're alright. It seems that you haven't been to the Disaster Research Institute yet, right? Are you free now? I'll take you to see it. I can also meet an old friend."

"I'm free," Shi Yu was stunned and immediately said, "I really haven't had time to go yet."

"Okay, then come with me," Kong Di said. Since Shi Yu was going to stay in the Cang Lan Realm to cultivate, he had to personally ask these old friends to take care of Shi Yu a little.

After a while, Shi Yu, who had tidied up, followed Kong Di to the Cosmic Disaster Research Institute in the Cang Lan Realm. The Cosmic Disaster Research Institute was also an official organization similar to the Environmental Protection Association. All major first-level realms had them. For the powers of King Planet, interstellar travel was commonplace, so it was inevitable that they would encounter many cosmic disasters. How to avoid and solve these disasters was the research topic of a group of researchers at the Cosmic Disaster Research Institute.

Generally speaking, many major forces would hire one or two disaster researchers to travel with them during interstellar voyages to avoid accidents.

Kong Di and the director of the Cosmic Disaster Research Institute in the Cang Lan Realm were friends. The reason why Zi Lan and the other four were able to encounter the Star Storm so smoothly, with only one person dying and the other four successfully escaping the disaster, was not only because they were lucky enough to be on the edge of the disaster, but also because they had received a lot of emergency equipment from the Cosmic Disaster Research Institute before their departure.

Cang Lan City, inside a technologically advanced white building complex, Kong Di and Shi Yu were waiting outside. Eleven was perched on Shi Yu's shoulder, looking around, and Lin, who had transformed into a bracelet, was also constantly paying attention to the surroundings.

It knew that if it wanted to be strengthened next, the opportunity might be here. Perhaps the mechanical materials to transform itself into a star mechanical life could only be bought here. After looking at the channels in Sky City and the Environmental Protection Association, Lin was not very satisfied.

"Wang Kong——" Shi Yu and the others didn't wait too long. Soon, a middle-aged man in a white coat with a brown handlebar mustache walked out of the research institute building complex. He laughed and said, "Old Wang, why are you suddenly free to come to my place?"

"Old Lei, can't I come to see you?" Kong Di revealed a smile and said, "Didn't I disturb you?"

"Of course not, but you definitely didn't just come to see me, right?" The middle-aged man with Western features named Old Lei looked at Shi Yu and said, "Is he the junior you contacted me earlier, saying you wanted to send him to my research institute to study for a while?"

"Yes," Kong Di said, "His name is Shi Yu."

Shi Yu said, "Hello, Dr. Lei Nuo."

Dr. Lei Nuo smiled and said, "Hello, I said Wang Kong, didn't you say he would come by himself? Why did you bring him here?"

Kong Di said helplessly, "Plans can't keep up with changes..."

"Let's go inside and talk," Dr. Lei Nuo invited, "I've prepared drinks and snacks."

"Okay," Kong Di nodded. Then, the three of them walked towards the inside of the research institute and chatted again after arriving at the luxurious reception room.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right? By the way, what is this person to you?" Dr. Lei Nuo sat on the seat, crossed his legs, blew on the lava water, and asked looking at Kong Di and Shi Yu.

"You guys drink too, drink more lava, it's good for your body."

Shi Yu looked at the red unknown liquid placed on the table. He could confirm that it was not lava as he understood it. Should it really be drinkable?

"A talented junior brought from the home planet," Kong Di said.

Dr. Lei Nuo said in surprise, "You guys succeeded."

"But young man, how did you think of coming to the Disaster Research Institute to study? It's not that easy to study here."

Shi Yu said restrainedly, "That Dr. Lei Nuo, I've been very playful since I was a child and like to travel everywhere, with the dream of traveling to every corner. After coming out of my home planet, I have infinite curiosity about the cosmic starry sky and want to start a new journey in the cosmic starry sky. However, the universe is too dangerous. I understand that if I mess around without a certain foundation, it's no different from courting death. So my dream has become to first become an excellent cosmic disaster researcher, um, together with my pets."

Kong Di fell into contemplation beside him. So, is this the reason why Shi Yu wants his pets to learn Void Storm? As an archaeologist, Shi Yu does have to go everywhere to do archaeology. Maybe Shi Yu was inspired to learn about cosmic disasters first after seeing the genius of the Qilin race die in the Star Storm?

So that's how it is. At this time, Kong Di was actually a little relieved. At least Shi Yu wasn't the kind of reckless person who ignored danger. Knowing how to fear the universe was very good and could greatly increase the survival rate.

"Haha, so that's how it is," At this time, Dr. Lei Nuo also laughed after hearing Shi Yu's dream and said, "Because you like to travel everywhere and are full of infinite curiosity about the cosmic starry sky, so you want to become an excellent cosmic disaster researcher first? I have to say, your thinking is right. Our cosmic disaster researchers are an indispensable member of the cosmic fleets in various realms."

"Okay, Old Wang, then I'll help you with this favor. He can stay here and be a trainee disaster researcher first. However, I can't guarantee that I can teach him. How much useful knowledge he can ultimately gain still depends on his own efforts."

"No problem, but it's best if Old Lei, you personally guide him and give him higher access to information and research. I know you're busy, and this is not in compliance with the rules, but he does have talent. In my home planet, he is one of the most talented machinists. In short, if there are any requirements, feel free to ask," Kong Di revealed a smile and tried to get it for Shi Yu.

"Um..." Dr. Lei Nuo was stunned and showed a look of embarrassment. Even if he and Kong Di had a life-or-death friendship, this kind of thing was indeed not in compliance with the rules. Information was okay, but some high-level research access could not be touched casually. If there was a experimental accident, not to mention a junior like Shi Yu, even god-level experts like them would have to die!

"No, this is a matter of principle," Dr. Lei Nuo refused.

"Unless."

"The mechanical pet he contracted has mastered transcendent intelligence at the level of perfection."

Kong Di was stunned and looked at Shi Yu. He knew that Shi Yu had contracted a mechanical pet, but Kong Di didn't know whether Shi Yu's mechanical pet possessed transcendent intelligence at the level of perfection.

However, Kong Di did know that the mechanical pioneers of Blue Star, Z legend, and the second mechanical legend Shen Yuan, had also been one step away from the perfection level in their transcendent intelligence, so it was unlikely that Shi Yu would have it.

It was very difficult to improve the proficiency of mechanical intelligence skills, and it was much more difficult than improving combat-type and auxiliary-type skills of the same level. The difficulty of improving was second only to the time type. After all, this type of skill could bring too much help to the contractor, applicable to all walks of life. Moreover, the mechanical type did not have any natural races and had to be cultivated from scratch.

Therefore, the perfection-level transcendent intelligence was as rare as a quasi-god skill in the universe.

A quasi-god skill-level intelligence could be comparable to a true god skill of other functions at a high proficiency.

And the status of a mechanical life with perfect god-level intelligence on King Planet was not much inferior to that of other super god-level lives.

"Kid, what level is your mechanical life's intelligence at?" After seeing the listless black and white bear hanging on Shi Yu's shoulder, Dr. Lei Nuo, although he was somewhat suspicious of his mechanical genius identity, also noticed the mechanical life on Shi Yu's hand.

At least he still had a mechanical pet.

"Shi Yu, does it meet the conditions Dr. Lei Nuo mentioned?" Kong Di also asked.

Shi Yu fell into contemplation and said, "It meets it, and it far exceeds it," Dr. Lei Nuo was stunned.

Shi Yu slightly raised his wrist. The next moment, a holographic-like illusory body wearing a ship girl uniform appeared. This was a girlish mechanical spirit with white hair tied into a ponytail behind her head and a cowlick on top of her head.

Lin, the mechanical spirit that only showed the upper half of her body, appeared and opened her azure blue eyes and said, "Dr. Lei Nuo, I am the master's mechanical assistant."

"Oh oh," Dr. Lei Nuo's eyelids twitched suddenly when he saw Lin.

Sure enough, Lin, who continued to speak the next moment, began to stimulate Dr. Lei Nuo's heart with every sentence. Lin said, "Currently, I have mastered the prototype of the god-level skill of advanced calculation and deduction rules. In the state of a mechanical spirit, I also have almost god-level mechanical control ability, so there is no problem in participating in disaster research."

Prototype of god-level intelligence!

Prototype of god-level mechanical control ability!

Advanced calculation and deduction rules!

After Lin reported, Dr. Lei Nuo was stunned and suddenly stood up, looking at Shi Yu, Lin, and Kong Di.

"Really?"

"Are you sure?"

The prototype of the god skill of calculation and deduction rules, and it was still of advanced quality. This was not easy. Currently, in the huge Cang Lan Realm Cosmic Disaster Research Institute, he was the only one who had mastered god-level intelligence. Shi Yu's mechanical pet's intelligence level was completely not inferior to those of advanced mechanical researchers.

Moreover, it was a combination of god-level mechanical control and god-level intelligence skill prototypes?

At this time, Kong Di was also stunned and looked at Shi Yu in surprise. Wait a minute, Shi Yu's mechanical pet already possessed a god-level intelligence prototype??? How did it surpass the Blue Star mechanical pioneer by two major versions!

Shi Yu was also silent beside him. Wasn't this all thanks to the skill fusion?

"Wait a minute, I remember it's still a Qilin Illusion Beast?" Kong Di said.

"Yes, in addition, I also have an advanced prototype of the luck god skill, which can greatly increase my research success rate. The combination of Blessing Wind and the mechanical spirit allows me to have research abilities comparable to god-level intelligence. This is my current basic configuration. Dr. Lei Nuo, please rest assured, we will study hard and make progress every day," Lin said earnestly and obediently.

In order to prove her words, she condensed a wisp of luck wind in front of her and pointed her finger at the rule ripples. The next moment, the rule ripples decomposed and restructured, turning into dense data code.

It was actually the ability to calculate, analyze, and deduce at the rule level!

Without such abilities, Lin would not be able to help Xiao Ji master the top-level rule prototype through mechanical transformation.

This scene made Dr. Lei Nuo, who was beside him, open his mouth slightly and was even more shocked.

"It's actually true..."

A mechanical life that has mastered the advanced luck god skill and has a prototype of god-level intelligence? What an outrageous configuration. He looked at Kong Di and said, "Old Wang, are you serious?"

"Are you really planning to let them study with me??"

He knew that his old friend's home planet had only developed the mechanical type for a short time, and he didn't have much hope for the mechanical genius on this planet.

But at this time, Dr. Lei Nuo could be said to be completely stunned.

With this talent and potential, not to mention here, there would be many more powerful doctors competing to take him as an assistant if he went to the headquarters of the Cosmic Disaster Research Institute.

"Isn't it because I trust Old Lei?" At this time, Kong Di's mouth also twitched after hearing Shi Yu's mechanical pet configuration. He knew about the wind of luck, but he really didn't know about the prototype of god-level intelligence. And the combination of these two skills, even if it wasn't as good as the super combination god skill of purifying the star spirit, it wouldn't be much inferior.

Outrageous, Shi Yu was actually a promising genius researcher?

"Ahem," At this time, Shi Yu was also smiling awkwardly and politely beside him. So, would he be able to let them access the disaster simulation device in this place? He was quite eager to use it!

"Okay, since you don't mind, then I won't be polite either. Shi Yu, right, study hard. I will do my best to teach you all my skills. As long as you can learn it, there will be no problem in letting you be a deputy director at that time, haha," Dr. Lei Nuo said happily under Kong Di's extremely strange expression.

Everyone likes geniuses.

What's more, it was a genius with a corresponding dream, which was even more rare.

It was easy to find a genius mechanic, but it was not easy to find a genius mechanic with the "dream" of becoming an excellent cosmic disaster researcher!
