Chapter 675: Chapter 0675 Life Operator (Seeking Subscription)
Silver City, Royal Mechanical University.
Su Lu strolled along the broad avenue shaded by green trees, accompanied by the senior student Xila who was serving as the guide.
“Our university is the top academy in the kingdom, each year producing a large number of mechanical talents for the kingdom. Professor James is a member of the kingdom’s Royal Research Committee, a councilor of the Light of Mechanics…”
Xila’s voice was filled with reverence: “He has taught many excellent students, such as Winston, Teric and so on… But the one you need to pay attention to most is Sha Lina, a university senior who hasn’t graduated yet! She was an exceptionally good mecha user, but now, the professor has found you…”
“So it’s the old theory that only good mecha users can become excellent mechanics, right?”
Su Lu chose not to comment, instead looking at a gigantic statue that lay ahead. It was carved from a block of white marble, its primitive lines etched deep and its surface brimming with vestiges of time, emanating a strong sense of history.
“That is…”
His inspiration was triggered. He walked over and carefully studied the statue.
The sculpture featured three pythons as its main body. There seemed to be a person wrapped in the middle, but their features had already blurred over time. Its surface, corroded by age, was adorned with numerous mottled cracks.
“This is a piece of cultural relic, from the Sumerneil Empire… a donation from the royal family…”
Xila said in a reverential tone.
“The artifact from which Ace Knight Kings rescued Katarina? One of the items the kingdom donated to the University?”
Su Lu suddenly thought of something and felt as though a story from a novel was unraveling in reality.
“Yes… it’s a piece of art from the Sumerneil era… At that time, humanity not only had a brilliant magical mechanical civilization, but also birthed many outstanding artists… They had this peculiar habit of placing scientific research data and art pieces together. Many laboratories and research institutes were filled with a large number of statues, decorated like art galleries…”
Xila explained with a smile.
Su Lu stepped forward and touched the marble statue: “It…is quite unique!”
“Many people have said the same, especially the geniuses with Super Sense… But unfortunately, while they can feel the uniqueness, they have not gained any inspiration or enlightenment, as it’s just a piece of art…”
Xila expressed with a touch of regret.
“Art?”
A slight smile emerged from the corner of Su Lu’s mouth.
Information started pouring into his mind:
“…Successor…the memory of…the Star Devourer Clan…enemies of humanity!”
‘These seem to be some kind of spiritual text, coded in a special way… If it wasn’t for me, ordinary Super Sense geniuses would probably be baffled…’
Su Lu felt slightly excited, “The university… it was the right choice to come. I found a transcendence path right here!”
Hidden within the statue was a heap of information, the most crucial of them being a transcendence inheritance from the Sumerneil Empire!
“From the message, the Sumerneil Empire was indeed destroyed by the Star Devourer Clan… What a profoundly deep conspiracy…”
Su Lu carefully felt the contents of the inheritance:
“[Fate Manipulator]… In the early stages, toy with life, reap life… In the latter stages, toy with destiny, challenge destiny…”
“It involves the illusory concept of ‘destiny’, huh?”
He felt it was very peculiar; indeed, differing profession paths held differing values.
This profession path, exceptional even during the Sumerneil Empire era, astonishingly gave access to the ‘field of destiny’ upon reaching high levels!
And not even divine beings could ignore the influences of destiny!
Although he had obtained this profession path, Su Lu still decided to wait a bit to see what Professor James had to say.
If the ‘Knight’ path the professor offered was not what he wanted, it wouldn’t be late to choose this one.
‘Or… maybe I can take on a dual occupation?’
A thought arose in Su Lu’s heart.
“Junior?”
Xila on the side asked somewhat quizzically, feeling that this junior had been staring at the statue for a bit too long.
“Nothing, I just feel a special kinship with it… Let’s go.”
Su Lu turned back and smiled.
The two of them arrived at a mechanical research lab.
“Morphy, you’re here.”
Still dressed like a worker, Professor James came to greet him, “Are you satisfied with your accommodations?”
Upon hearing his words, several students around them lowered their heads, afraid their jealousy would be seen.
That was Professor James!
The famous mechanic of the kingdom was being so kind to a student. As for them…
“Pretty good, I can’t wait to start learning.”
Su Lu answered with a smile, “Where do we start?”
“Let’s start with learning to be a mecha user…”
Professor James looked around and led Su Lu to a room: “A top knight is not necessarily an excellent mecha user, but an excellent mecha user must be a top knight… The so-called ‘Knight’ specifically refers to a group of people whose physical capabilities have already exceeded their limits.”
“A knight is a person, and a Guyver is like a suit of armor from old times.” Su Lu nodded, “So… how do I become a knight?”
“Most people in ancient times achieved breakthroughs on their own. However, in the Dark Age, when humanity was struggling, they found that the flesh and blood of the beasts, after a special preparation process, had the effect of catalyzing a knight’s breakthrough. As a result, they developed the ‘Knight Potion’. With some breathing exercises, an ordinary person can quickly become a real ‘Knight’, a true knight!”
A grin spread across Professor James’ face: “Are you… ready? When you are, come find me.”
He opened the safe and held up a tube of crystal-clear purple potion: “This is a high-purity Knight Potion, essentially perfect. It’s a treasured collection of mine…”
“What do I need to give in return?”
Su Lu looked at the potion tube; there was no greed in his eyes, just calmly asking.
“You don’t need to give anything, just cooperate with me and complete the Super Sense experiment…”
A fanatic light shone on Professor James’s face: “I want to prove… that my theory is correct.”
“Professor, I will definitely support you with all my effort.”
Su Lu saluted, then left.
…
At night.
Inside the two-story apartment.
“Knighthood is clearly a profession for the physical side. As for [Fate Manipulator], it is hard to say if it’s magic or physical… After all, it’s the elusive profession of the field of destiny…”
Su Lu jotted down on a piece of scratch paper: “But without the rank of Knight, it’s not easy to get through with the professor… the ability of [Fate Manipulator] can only serve as my secret dual profession? It can also act as my trump card.”
He had already made up his mind: tomorrow, he’d go to Professor James and become a real ‘Knight’!
In addition, he would secretly pursue the job of [Fate Manipulator].
Despite the fact that neither involves fusion or job switching, he should have a certain advantage at the same level.
