Chapter 420 - Divine Research Institute Member: Lu Ran! (Part 2)
Capital of the Stellar Moon Republic.
Luxury cars and high-end aircraft crowded the vicinity of the National Mechanical University. Representatives from official departments and tech companies had flocked to the university for a single purpose: to meet Pedestrian A, the prodigy who had reopened the Elemental Era.
However, the university couldn’t possibly let Lu Ran make an appearance now. In their view, the only ones who should reach out to him next were the highest authorities representing the nation’s will. And the first such authority to contact the university was the Divine Research Institute.
Currently, the Stellar Moon Republic had three Epic-Legendary mechanics. Without a doubt, their contributions to the republic would be recorded as epic stories for millennia.
One of them had fully transformed into a digital lifeform, merging with the mechanical world to oversee, regulate, and maintain the forbidden mechanical weapons capable of annihilating the republic hundreds of times over. She was the nation’s Sword Holder.
The second was an Epic-Legendary mechanic who had successfully undergone mechanical modification, becoming a robot. He now served as the republic’s ruler, devoting himself entirely to its governance and micromanaging even small-scale development.
The third was Director Lin En of the Divine Research Institute, an Epic-Legendary mechanic who had dedicated their life to pursuing the realm of mechanical gods.
While everyone was searching for Lu Ran, unbeknownst to them, Dr. Cheng Kong had already secretly whisked him away.
“Just as I thought, the Divine Research Institute would definitely recruit Pedestrian A. After all, when Director Lin En heard that Pedestrian A was willing to hand over the Elemental Life Creation Device, he was very impressed with the kid.
“I wonder if the Divine Research Institute will allow him to share the technology with the university after he becomes a Divine Researcher. Regardless, the university has already hit the jackpot this time.”
Principal Deng and the others were exhilarated as they saw Lu Ran off.
Of course, not everyone shared their enthusiasm. The ascension mission only allowed one participant to succeed—a one-in-ten success rate. The final outcome left the other nine participants with mixed feelings.
