Chapter 380 - The First Step to Becoming a Powerhouse
Stellar Moon World, First Continent, Mechanical Capital, Rhodes City.
Due to the Legendary War, the Stellar Moon Continent had been shattered multiple times, turning the massive landmass into four large continents and countless islands of varying sizes.
The cross-world teleportation array was connected to the Starfall Forest, located on the Second Continent, while the Divine Deer now resided in the Clear Spring Valley on the First Continent.
Spread through the four continents were eight megalopolis—cities that had the highest number of Legendary Beastmasters. Although Rhodes City wasn’t one of them, it was one of the few cities renowned for Mechanical-attribute advancements.
The most distinctive thing about it was that most pedestrians had mechanical prosthetics. Even some of the familiars beside the beastmasters were mechanically modified. Some had mechanical legs, and others had half of their faces replaced with mechanical parts.
“Rhodes City was also once called the ‘City of the Disabled’ due to its thriving prosthetics industry. Beastmasters inevitably suffer injuries in battle, losing limbs or having their familiars maimed. Many opt for mechanical prosthetics because treatments like limb regeneration were too expensive. In contrast, mechanical modifications were affordable and restored mobility quickly.
“Some healthy beastmasters even undergo modifications voluntarily, seeking powerful transformations. Their mechanical parts can unleash devastating firepower, suppress ferocious beasts, and even enable flight or deep-sea diving. It’s a cultural trend here.”
Lu Ran and his group were passing through en route to the Endless Sea to find the God of the Abyss. As they disguised themselves, they walked the streets.
The mechanical modification culture was overwhelming. Lu Ran even saw walls plastered with ads for private clinics.

“Too bad. As the Divine Deer’s messenger, I’ll never lose a limb. Where to next?”
Manager Ying flicked its tail. “Let’s find a small workshop or black market to buy an Advanced or Rare mechanical lightsaber. Getting a Treasure-grade one from a major manufacturer risks drawing attention. You can just use a Treasure enhancement card to upgrade it later.”
