Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

"No, you can't just buy equipment. No matter how much money you have, it won't last," Li Cunxu said.

Mechanical pets cost money, mechanical talents cost even more, and quantum superposition costs a fortune.

Li Cunxu seemed to see a deep abyss opening its mouth to bite him, and that mouth belonged to a gold-devouring beast.

He couldn't help but shudder.

"But manufacturing mechanical equipment is also a troublesome matter, as it requires technical skills."

Li Cunxu unconsciously looked at the Little White Spider.

As long as he continued to add points to Destiny and enhance the Little White Spider's learning ability, there would be no technical difficulties it couldn't overcome.

But there were too few Little White Spiders. Even with the level clones, there were only three, which was not enough to handle everything.

Manufacturing mechanical equipment was difficult, especially the more advanced the equipment. The research and development of some advanced mechanical equipment could take decades, even with a large research institute full of PhDs.

What about not doing research and just stealing other people's results?

It's simple and convenient.

No, as long as you use someone else's weapon, if it's not purchased legally and compliantly, a huge patent fee demand will come knocking.

The Alliance values patents greatly and protects them beyond imagination. Patents bring huge patent fees to the developers, and money motivates people, greatly stimulating innovation.

Being fined patent fees is a small matter.

The important thing is that there is a big shot with a huge number of weapon patents. He developed almost half of the advanced laser weapons. He was worried about not being able to collect all the patent fees, so he developed a skill called [Illegal Weapon Ban].

As long as the weapon or equipment is not legal, compliant, or self-developed, it will be banned by his skill.

If you don't want your weapons and equipment to be banned, you must develop them yourself.

Not only should the Little White Spider do the research, but the Mechtitan should also work independently and develop their own weapons.

After all, doing so would save money and resources.

The Little White Spider researches spirit crystals.

The Mechtitan lays a good foundation by studying the knowledge in the books for future manufacturing of mechanical equipment.

Little Soft guards the residence while directing the Iron Slime to expand around it.

Dark Crow practices self-cursing, harming himself, in an attempt to comprehend new curse skills.

Everyone is working so hard, and Li Cunxu is not idle either. He eats the Scorching Pain Pill, cultivates his mental power, and exercises his willpower, working hard for the next advancement to the Silver level and the expansion of his Beast Taming Space.

The Scorching Pain Pill can slightly increase the speed of mental power cultivation, while also bringing the taker a burning pain like a scorching flame.

This pain is the perfect artifact for exercising willpower.

Time flies.

Under Li Cunxu's guidance, the Little White Spider didn't take any detours and developed the spirit crystal.

"Master, come and see, is this the spirit crystal you were talking about?"

The Little White Spider ran over excitedly, holding a charred, coke-like thing.

Li Cunxu looked at it. The charred black crystal was pitted and smelled of burnt material. Although it was very rough, it was indeed a spirit crystal.

Under the Little White Spider's expectant gaze, Li Cunxu said the words the Little White Spider wanted to hear most.

"It's a spirit crystal, that's right."

Li Cunxu continued: "However, such a finished product won't convince others. The problem with your spirit crystal is obviously that the heat is too high. Lower the temperature of the compressor."

The Little White Spider did as he said, and sure enough, the appearance of the next spirit crystal was much better, and it was more nutritious than the charred crystal just now.

"How about this one?"

"It can convince others, but it's not amazing enough."

Next, the Little White Spider continued to fine-tune the machine. After repeated experiments, it finally produced a flawless, pure, top-grade fire-type spirit crystal.

"One top-grade spirit crystal is amazing, but not shocking enough. Little Yi, please make four more top-grade spirit crystals."

The production of top-grade spirit crystals not only requires high-quality machines but also high operational skills.

Even the developers of the Spirit Crystal Essence Harvester and the Spirit Crystal Compressor spent two days and two nights to gather five top-grade spirit crystals.

"Master, who are you going to show these five top-grade spirit crystals and the video of me making them to?"

"The Alliance Garrison Officer."

"What is that? I've never seen any relevant information."

The Little White Spider, who had read many books, had never seen any information about the Alliance Garrison Officer.

"Of course you can't see it. This is higher-level information. Every city controlled by the Alliance has an Alliance Garrison Officer. If there is no Alliance Garrison Officer, it means that the city does not belong to the Alliance."

Li Cunxu paused, took a sip of water, and said, "A city's mayor may betray the Alliance, but the Alliance Garrison Officer will never betray the Alliance."

"Why are they so loyal?"

"Because they signed a strict contract that they would be annihilated if they betrayed."

"Ah?"

The truth of loyalty was beyond the Little White Spider's expectations.

"Just kidding, I haven't finished my sentence. The contract must be signed willingly."

"Then why look for them? Just because they are loyal?"

"Yes and no. We are looking for them because they can directly contact the Old President."

Taking the five top-grade spirit crystals, he walked to the Alliance Garrison Office. Just before entering, Li Cunxu stopped at the steps.

He suddenly thought that finding the Alliance Garrison Officer here was not particularly safe.

Had the Mechtitan Emperor, who had been running Mech Capital for many years, corrupted the Alliance Garrison Officer?

Although the Alliance Garrison Officer would be annihilated for betraying the Alliance, it would be very worthwhile to destroy the era-crossing invention of spirit crystals with one Alliance Garrison Officer.

To be on the safe side, Li Cunxu took away all the instruments made and picked up by the Little White Spider in the basement, destroyed all traces, and left Mech Capital.

He took a flying boat back to Pupil Capital to find the Alliance Garrison Officer there.

He took out the five top-grade spirit crystals and the production video of the five top-grade spirit crystals to show the Alliance Garrison Officer.

"A landmark masterpiece, it can perfectly replace spirit food and change the entire industry of breeders."

After reading it, the Alliance Garrison Officer was amazed and immediately reported it to the Old President.

Soon, the urgent information alarmed the Old President.

The Old President's projection appeared and talked with Li Cunxu alone.

Li Cunxu left contentedly. The Old President agreed to several conditions he proposed.

Condition 1: Help hide the information that the Little White Spider is the developer of the spirit crystal.

Condition 2: Share the spirit crystal patent at a low price, so everyone can make spirit crystals and improve on the spirit crystal technology. However, the Old President must give him three life-saving jades containing his power.

With three life-saving jades containing the power of the Old President, Li Cunxu was safe and worry-free. He could start to mess around boldly and even plot against Li Shiyin's Demonic Lotus Eye.

However, the Old President also had a small request. He wanted to see the thesis on spirit crystal technology tomorrow.
