Please be my partner.

After taking a quick look at the progress of building the library in the fairy tale kingdom, Melen showed satisfaction. According to the current progress, if he did it six or seven more times, the library would be almost empty.

After returning to Professor Moss's house and having lunch, Mellen went to Professor Moss's study. The books here had naturally been copied by him a long time ago.

He randomly picked up a book about magic runes and began to study it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Professor Moss, who had been out on business, hurried back.

After Professor Moss tidied up briefly, he went to the study.

Seeing Professor Moss looking exhausted, Mellen said with concern, "Mr. Moss, you can go and have a rest first. I can study on my own today."

Professor Moss shook his head, picked up the book on the table and began today's teaching.

Seeing this, Melen suppressed his other thoughts and began to study seriously.

Two hours later, Professor Moss closed the book, exhaled, and smiled, "Mellen, your progress is much faster than I expected. You are very talented. If you study hard for two or three years, you should be able to easily obtain the position of scholar."

Mellen smiled modestly and said, "Mr. Moss's teaching is still good."

Professor Moss waved his hand slightly, stopped talking, and prepared to get up and leave.

Mellen paused and suddenly asked, "Mr. Moss, if you encounter any trouble, please tell me. Even if you don't want to be associated with the New School, I do have some influence in other areas."

Although the relationship between Mellen and Professor Moss was a transaction, there was no doubt that the latter did assume the identity of his "teacher".

Based on Mellen's own understanding, "teacher" has a different status in his heart, so it doesn't matter about that favor. If Professor Moss encounters any small troubles, he doesn't mind helping.

Of course, as scholars, as long as they do not participate in the struggle between the new and old schools, their status will never change. Therefore, when helping, it is best not to let the new school get involved, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

That's why Mellen added that last sentence.

Professor Moss was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Mellen to say that. The smile on his face couldn't help but become more sincere. He shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "If I really encounter something I can't solve, I will speak up."

Hearing this, Melen nodded and said no more.

Mellen returned to his room, and a burst of colorful light spread out from his body. The surrounding environment suddenly changed dramatically, from an ordinary room to a wilderness with green mountains and clear waters. In the distance, there were rolling mountains and white clouds in the sky. Behind him was a fairy tale cottage, and not far away there was a small lake with shimmering waves.

Spike, Little Red Lotus, Garuru, Little Liuli, and the other dogs were either practicing or playing. After seeing Mellen, the last three rushed over in a swarm, leaving Spike standing in the distance, quietly looking at the boy.

After playing with the dogs for a while, Mellen returned to the fairy tale cottage.

This small house may not look big, but it has a lot of secrets inside.

What comes into view is a living room that looks as big as the entire cottage. On one side of the living room is a bookshelf filled with various books, but if you look closely, you will find that these books have no names and the styles are blurry.

In fact, this bookshelf is illusory. It is linked to the library under construction. Whenever Melen needs it, he can get any book already included in the library from it.

There are several doors on the other two sides of the cabin, which lead to the bedroom, training room, mechanical assembly room, laboratory, etc.

The entire fairy tale cottage uses space folding technology. Although it looks small from the outside, it has everything inside.

In his previous life, when Melen was reading D&D novels, he had long yearned for the "Mansion Technique" in them. Just think, who wouldn't want to be able to summon a mansion anytime, anywhere while traveling?!

Now, this fairy-tale cottage built by Mellen himself has basically satisfied all his fantasies in this regard.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Mellen looked at the harvest from the secret space on the table... two design drawings and some metal booklets.

I've already deciphered the beginnings of the two blueprints, so at least I know their names and basic information...

The steel fortress is called the Titan Fortress. In the description of the design drawings, the complete Titan Fortress does have the power to fight against the legendary level, just as Melen had initially guessed.

Moreover, the Giant Fortress is not fixed. It has the ability to fly and is a powerful aerospace fortress.

But while being powerful, it also means trouble and tediousness in making it.

In order to build the Giant Fortress, not to mention the required level of technology, just the configuration of those rare materials and even basic materials is a huge problem.

This kind of super-large mechanical creation is usually beyond the imagination of an individual. It requires powerful forces and a long period of accumulation to successfully create it.

Once it is created, it will immediately become the foundation of those powerful forces.

Mellen was naturally envious of this "big guy", but he knew himself well and knew that it was not something he could covet in a short period of time.

The other design drawing is relatively more practical. It is a creation called Titan.

According to the description of the finished product in the design drawing, a specially trained third-level professional riding a Titan can fight against ordinary legendary-level strongmen.

The Titan Colossus is thirty meters tall, human-shaped, and has wings on its back. Even just from the design drawings, one can feel a huge sense of oppression.

Whether from a technical perspective or in terms of the materials used, the Titan Colossus is far inferior to the Colossus Fortress, and it can be considered a goal that can be achieved in the medium term.

Finally, Mellen turned his eyes to the metal books. He picked up the first one, which was the thickest of all the metal books, with nineteen pages, covered with dense, tiny handwriting and various patterns.

Melen has been focusing his main energy on deciphering this metal booklet recently, and now he can understand half of its contents.

Recorded on it was a profession called [Source Energy User], whose core ability was to build a source energy furnace within the body, thereby enabling oneself to master the powerful energy of source energy.

According to the description in the metal booklet, source energy is a special energy that can sublimate machinery. After mechanical creations are activated by source energy, they can stimulate their own potential power and gain a series of special abilities such as mechanical mind, component reassembly, and metal repair.

Of course, the strength and amount of abilities acquired still depend on the material and energy source of the mechanical creation itself, as well as its utilization efficiency.

As of now, [Source Energizer] is indeed an extraordinary profession that is quite suitable for Garuru, but there is only one thing that makes Melen hesitate.

Because [Source Energy User] is a profession created by humans, the construction of the Source Energy Furnace is also centered on the heart.

Although according to the description in the metal booklet, the [Source Energy User] may gradually mechanize itself, its starting point is flesh and blood life.

As a mechanical dog, Garuru is not sure if it will have any impact if he changes his job directly to become a [Source Energy User].

Mellen shook his head slightly, temporarily putting these questions aside. He picked up the first metal booklet and began to study it carefully.

Chapter 174 Garuru's Job Change

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

February 15th, midnight, in the mountains more than ten miles outside Princeton.

Melen looked at the bright moon, playing with the [Final Track] in his hand. The four dogs squatted obediently beside him, all with curious looks on their faces. At this time, he had just completed a track settlement.

This extraordinary weapon was once his strongest support, and it was with it that Mellen successfully survived the disaster in Roland City.

Although the side effects caused Melen to experience fear for a period of time, the final result was good. With the guidance of the [Pointer of Destiny], he not only overcame the side effects, but also obtained the forbidden item of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and thus had a more powerful trump card.

Mellen took out the [Pointer of Destiny] from his arms. He always felt uneasy about this extraordinary item that would consume his own destiny, because he didn't know whether the so-called destiny that was consumed was his current destiny or his future destiny.

If it is the former, it is not bad, at least it is a one-time deal, but if it is the latter, if there is interest or even compound interest, then it will be a big loss.

It is precisely because of this concern that Mellen is extremely reluctant to use this extraordinary item related to fate.

After taking back the [Pointer of Destiny], Melen turned his attention back to the [Final Trajectory].

According to the fortune teller Anna, this extraordinary item was not forged, but was formed accidentally. However, because the power of destiny it carried during its formation was affected, it formed a powerful negative effect, which caused the value of this extraordinary item to plummet.

To put it simply, when strengthening a weapon, it goes astray.

If all the fate forces that create the negative effect of trajectory resolution are strengthened to enhance the effect of the weapon itself, the value of [Final Trajectory] will probably increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Now that Mellen has so many trump cards, the [Final Trajectory] has little effect on him. Instead, he still needs to spend special energy to deal with the trajectory settlement every month.

Therefore, he had some other ideas about the fate of this extraordinary object.

However, whether these ideas will succeed depends on the results of what he does next.

Mellen temporarily put away [Final Track] and waved to Garuru. The mechanical dog jumped over happily, wagging its tail rapidly.

He smiled and touched Garuru's head, saying, "How is the knowledge I asked you to record?"

"Woof!~"

Garuru shouted with his head held high, looking very proud.

Mellen nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started and complete your extraordinary career advancement!"

Garuru woofed again, then jumped into Mellen's arms at his invitation.

Mellen only felt a heaviness in his hand. Although the mechanical dog was only about half a meter long, its weight exceeded 300 kilograms. It was really a heavy lump of iron.

This is because Mellen has not started to train Garuru. Otherwise, with the racial skill of [Devouring Metal], the mechanical dog will be able to "eat" freely, and its weight will increase even more.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the more metal Garuru devours, the more mass it will gain. [Swallowing Metal] will transform the devoured metal into a special energy and store it in the body. Normally, it will only increase the weight slightly. Only when Garuru uses the ability of [Mechanical Transformation] will the energy be converted back into metal.

After confirming that all preparations were complete, Melen nodded Garuru's head, indicating that it could begin.

Garuru lay in Melen's arms, his electronic eyes dimming a little.

With the help of the contract link, Melen also entered Garuru's perspective and saw its internal structure.

After learning various mechanical knowledge during this period, Garuru is also using this knowledge to optimize itself. At this time, its internal structure is much more complicated than before.

In fact, there is no place in Garuru's body that can be called a core. At this time, it has to build a core for itself through the career path of the [Source Energy User] interpreted by Melen.

As time passed, the mechanical structure inside Garuru's body continued to undergo subtle changes. The mechanical heart, optimized by many structural masters such as Pinocchio, took shape in Garuru's body bit by bit.

Then there is the energy pipeline system extending from the mechanical heart and throughout Garuru's entire mechanical body. These are like human blood vessels, covering the entire body, but they do not need to copy the vascular system completely.

This process is actually not too difficult, because it has all been deduced and designed in advance, and Garuru just needs to follow suit.

The key point is that after forming...

Strange patterns and inscriptions were engraved on the mechanical heart. Gradually, a strange aura began to flow through Garuru, and a ball of green flame floated faintly in the depths of its electronic eyes.

This flame is certainly not a physical entity, but a reflection from the depths of illusory consciousness.

Faintly, Garuru's consciousness seemed to be a little restless.

This phenomenon was naturally discovered by Melen immediately. He frowned slightly, but did not act rashly. Instead, he observed it more carefully.

When the last inscription was carved, a strange wave spread out from the mechanical heart. At the same time, the free spirit in Garuru's body also gathered towards the mechanical heart.

After the mechanical heart was infused with spiritual energy, a green flame suddenly ignited and grew stronger and stronger.

But at this moment, Garuru's self-awareness suddenly wailed.

Mellen's eyes suddenly focused. He had been paying attention to Garuru's situation and naturally discovered at the first moment that with the emergence of source energy, a more powerful and chaotic consciousness was born from Garuru's body.

This new consciousness was extremely chaotic, and its growth rate was incredible. In just a few breaths, it surpassed Garuru's own consciousness strength, and it was still continuing to grow.

The chaotic consciousness continued to oppress Garuru's consciousness and even impacted the contract between them.

Under Mellen's control, spiritual energy flowed out, first protecting Garuru's consciousness and preventing it from being hurt.

After observing for a while, Melen had a general understanding of the current situation.

It has to be said that the improvement that source energy brings to mechanical creations is indeed quite huge. The chaotic consciousness that is born in Garuru's body at this time is actually one of the enhancements of source energy to it.

However, because Garuru had not yet completed his job transformation and the source energy had not completely become its own system, the consciousnesses that were born were chaotic and disordered.

This situation is quite dangerous, because the newly born chaotic consciousness is too powerful and will instinctively devour the original consciousness. Moreover, under the impact of this sudden surge of consciousness, the contract of an ordinary beastmaster will probably collapse and break.

Therefore, it would be a very foolish decision for an ordinary beastmaster to allow his contracted mechanical creation to change jobs and become an [Energy User].

Not only will the consciousness of the mechanical creature itself be overwritten, but even the contract will be broken.

Of course, normally, this possibility is quite low. After all, for non-human races, only a very small number of people can break racial restrictions and complete extraordinary career transitions.

Fortunately, Mellen is not normal.

With the protection of spiritual energy, no matter how oppressive the chaotic consciousness is, it will not be able to shake Garuru in the slightest, and the contract with the Wolf Tamer is even more unshakable to the chaotic consciousness.

Gradually, as the source energy in the mechanical heart burned more vigorously, the new professional system began to be integrated into Garuru.

Under the burning of source energy, the chaotic consciousness gradually moved from disorder to order and was absorbed by Garuru.

Seeing that everything was on track, Mellen relaxed a little.

[Source Energy User] is indeed an extraordinary profession that is only suitable for humans. Because humans have flesh and blood, even if they change their profession, they will not gain additional consciousness.

When one has completely mastered the source of energy that belongs to him, then performing the "Weakening of Flesh and Blood, Mechanical Ascension" will naturally be free of danger.

Recovering his slightly scattered thoughts, Melen looked at Garuru in his arms.

At this time, Garuru's consciousness has stabilized, and green electric light flashes across his body from time to time. That is the source energy transforming his mechanical body.

A few hours later, when the morning light appeared in the distant sky, the sleeping Garuru slowly woke up, and a little light of light green appeared in its electronic eyes.

"Woof!~"

When Garuru woke up, he noticed the changes in his body and immediately shared his joy with Mellen.

Melen could also feel that the Garuru in his arms had become much lighter. This should be due to the change brought about by the improvement of his control over the racial skill [Devouring Metal].

At this time, the other friends saw that Garuru had successfully changed his job and immediately surrounded him.

Melen opened Garuru's attribute panel...
