Please be my partner.

If we were to ask which ethnic group in the entire Tianfeng Territory is most likely to possess dimensional matter, it would undoubtedly be the overlord Blue Crystal Clan. Unfortunately, Melen had no corresponding channels before.

Now the sudden appearance of Vic Lan Jing seems to have brought a glimmer of hope to this line. The former seems to have a high status in the Lan Jing clan, otherwise he would not have allowed the pair of sisters to stay by his side like this. The way the sisters looked at Vic was clearly their undisguised admiration.

However, this matter still needs long-term consideration.

Firstly, Melen and Vic from the Blue Crystal Clan were not close enough to make such a request; secondly, the Blue Crystal Clan was a dominant clan, and trading with them was not a simple matter.

In the next few days, Vic often invited Mellen to communicate and play, and the relationship between the two gradually became familiar.

Melen also knew the names of the sisters. The older sister was Aisha Aquamarine and the younger sister was Ellie Aquamarine.

In the Blue Crystal Clan, not everyone can be given the surname Blue Crystal. Apart from the descendants of the Saint Ancestor, only those who have reached the legendary level and their direct descendants are qualified.

When it was the twenty-seventh day of the exchange meeting, Mellen returned home at night and noticed something strange.

He looked into the dark corner of the room and said, "It's a bit rude of you to come here uninvited."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mellen."

Following these low and slightly apologetic words, a mysterious man wrapped in a black cloak walked out from the shadows of the room. The black cloak had hidden extraordinary powers. Even though the mysterious man was standing under the light, Melen still couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly.

Melen looked calmly at the mysterious man in the black cloak and asked, "So, who are you? What do you want from me?"

The mysterious man in the black cloak paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Mellen, I'm here for the Titan Colossus you're selling."

Melen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He thought there would be trouble after selling the Titan, but he didn't expect the troubles to come one after another.

Melen asked in a serious tone, "Where did you hear this news? The Blue Crystal Clan Auction?"

If the answer is really as Melen asked, then he will have to re-evaluate the possibility of continuing to trade with the Blue Crystal Clan.

The mysterious man in the black cloak shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mellen. The Blue Crystal Saints have a unique vision and have set many strict rules. They won't do anything like selling out a guest's information, which would destroy their foundation."

"I didn't intend to put the blame on them deliberately, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Mellen nodded slightly in his heart, agreeing with this statement.

Even Vic, who clearly showed the intention of making friends and winning over, found a high-sounding reason when he first came to the door, such as he came to apologize on behalf of the auction officials, not to mention other outsiders.

The mysterious man in the black cloak continued, "The reason I was able to find you is because..."

At this point, he lifted his black cloak, revealing a silver metal skull beneath. His voice became mechanical, with a heavy emphasis: "...We have special techniques for gathering intelligence."

"We screened the 5162 people who attended the second auction and identified 173 possible targets. Our next step was to test them in descending order of sequence number. However, we later discovered the latest movements of Vic Lan Jing of the Blue Crystal Clan. Following his lead, we were able to lock onto you."

Melen suddenly said, "Mechanical life? Were you one of the last two bidders at the auction?"

Although the voices of the two people did not match the mechanical life in front of them, the voices could be changed.

At this time, Melen naturally didn't know who was in box number three. In order to protect the privacy of distinguished guests, the sounds in the box were processed, unless the people in the box took the initiative to turn off the shielding.

He felt that the person in front of him might not be from Box Number Three, and that he was desperately looking for him because he failed to win the bid for the Titan. Of course, it was also possible that he was from Box Number Three, and that he felt that the Titans he bought at the auction were not enough, so he tried every means to find him.

The mysterious man said, "You can call me Lucas. I'm from the Sas Saint Clan, a clan of intelligent machines. My identity is quite sensitive for some reasons, so I came to see you in this way. To express my apologies, I can reveal a little information..."

"The reason Vic took the initiative to befriend you is most likely because he wants to take you with him to explore a secret place in the spiritual world. He is the one sitting in box number three at the second auction."

Mellen remained calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with a little bit of ripples. According to Lucas, Vic had not only his ten Titan statues, but also the strange Shadow Stone.

Melen asked, "So, you came to me for the Titans? If that's the reason, I can only say sorry. I got those Titans by accident and have now sold them all."

Lucas listened quietly to Mellen's words before saying, "I saw the Titan you were selling at the auction. My analysis shows it's been modified recently, and that 'recently' doesn't mean more than ten days."

"Also, after careful examination of what you just said, I found that there's an 82.5% chance that it was a lie intended to get rid of me."

Lucas looked at Mellen, who was looking embarrassed, and said, "I came here with sincerity for this deal. Don't you want to hear my offer first?"

Mellen was a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected Lucas to be so perceptive. Was he truly an intelligent machine? He was also a little curious about the latter's terms of the deal, so he said, "You talk, I'm listening."

Lucas said, "From the intelligence I've gathered, it seems Mr. Mellen is looking for traces of dimensional matter."

Mellen's eyes suddenly flashed, and he asked, "Don't tell me you have one?!"

If this is true, then the deal may not be impossible to continue.

Lucas shook his head and said, "I don't have any, but I have some clues about dimensional matter."

Mellen calmed down a bit and said, "Tell me more about it."

Lucas didn't explain immediately, but instead asked, "Mr. Mellen, have you ever heard of 'Angler's Land'?"

"Angler's Realm?" Mellen shook his head in confusion and said, "I've never heard of it."

Lucas explained, "The Angler's Realm is said to originate from the dreams of a great being who fell into deep sleep. It lies between illusion and reality, and also possesses some dimensional characteristics. The rules of the Angler's Realm are simple: fishing."

"Anyone who uses a specific 'ticket' to enter the Angler's Realm will receive a basic bait. This bait, when thrown into the Angler's Realm, may yield anything, including but not limited to extraordinary items, mysterious artifacts, professional inheritances, ancient beasts, and even... artifacts!"

"After using the basic bait, you can choose to return or continue fishing. If you want to fish again, you will need to use everything in your body as bait, such as money, lifespan, soul, strength, etc."

"Using your own bait, the things you catch will also have a tendency based on your own wishes. As a mysterious world with some dimensional characteristics, there is naturally a chance of catching dimensional matter."

Hearing the words "there is a chance of fishing out dimensional matter", Mellen subconsciously felt a pang in his heart. This was due to the fear of being dominated by Pin Daodao and a woman from heaven in his previous life.

He immediately asked, "What's the exact probability you mentioned?"

Lucas didn't expect Mellen to get to the point of the problem right away, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Mellen's increasingly suspicious look due to his silence, Lucas changed the subject and said, "Of course, the ticket to the Fisherman's Realm is just a meeting gift for Mr. Mellen. As for the specific transaction, I have other bargaining chips."

Mellen's face darkened. He sensed a cheapness in Lucas' words, as if this seemingly high-end ticket to the Fisherman's Realm was actually not worth much.

Lucas quickly took out a crystal clear blue coin the size of a baby's fist, which was surrounded by a faint but mysterious aura.

After a little thought, Melen took it. The blue coin was like holding a strand of hair in his hand. He could hardly feel its weight. With a little force, he found that it was much tougher than he had imagined.

Mellen looked at it carefully. There were patterns on both sides of the blue coin. On one side was a hazy chaos with a vague existence hiding in it as if sleeping. On the other side was a quiet lake with a blurry figure standing on a small boat and fishing.

Lucas said, "You only need to activate the ticket, and your spirit will be pulled into the Angler's Realm. It's best to do this in a safe place to prevent your body from being harmed in the outside world."

Mellen nodded, put the blue coin away, and then said jokingly, "Then I'll accept it. However, since this is a meeting gift, it has nothing to do with our subsequent transaction. If your chips cannot satisfy me, I will still choose not to trade."

Lucas nodded slightly, not caring at all, because everything was within his calculations.

Melen said, "Tell me your purpose. How many Titans do you want? I have some, but not much. And I'm not short of Magic Gold Coins right now. You need to bring me something that will tempt me."

Lucas calmly shook his head and said, "I think you misunderstood, Mr. Mellen. I am indeed here for the Titans, but not the actual ones. I want their...designs."

Mellen's expression froze, then suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Mr. Lucas, do you want to listen to what you were saying just now?!"

It turned out that the 'meeting gift' did work, otherwise Mellen would have driven Lucas away immediately.

Facing Mellen's question, Lucas said slowly: "Mr. Mellen, this will be a fair deal. Please take a look at my bargain first..."

As he spoke, a light screen was projected into the void, displaying dense and other information.

Melen collected his thoughts and looked at the light screen, and after a moment he looked thoughtful.

……

The redemption list displayed by Lucas includes a total of more than ten science fiction-level mechanical creation drawings, each with unique capabilities.

Seeing this, Mellen admitted that he was tempted. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How exactly do we exchange it?"

Of course, Melen would not expect that he could exchange everything the other party showed him for a design drawing of the Titan.

Lucas said, "You can pick two from these designs."

After a pause, he added, "These mechanical design drawings have all been made public before. Many powerful forces have kept copies, and they can also be unearthed in certain ruins, so there's no risk of using them."

"One for two?" Mellen pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll trade with you."

Lucas asked, "What kind of mechanical creation do you need?"

Melen said: "[Void Energy Light Tower] and [Light Brain]."

Lucas nodded, the light curtain disappeared, and his hand reached into the black cloak, and when he stretched it out, he was already holding two memory crystals.

Mellen was a little embarrassed at this moment, but he quickly took out a stack of papers and handed it over.

Mellen had never thought about selling the blueprints before, so naturally he did not back up the memory crystal.

Lucas paused briefly, as if he had not expected that Mellen would use such a 'primitive' method to record the data, but he soon took it over.

Mellen's mind swept across the memory crystal. Relatively speaking, the [Void Energy Light Tower] was okay, but the structure of the [Light Brain] was very complicated. However, the data was recorded in great detail, and the creation of each complex part was recorded from entry to burial. As long as there was some mechanical level and sufficient materials, it would not be difficult to replicate it.

Lucas also quickly scanned the information in his hand, and seemed to become very excited. Finally, he carefully put the information away.

Seeing this scene, Mellen remained calm on the surface, but his mind was full of thoughts.

Lucas said, "This was a pleasant transaction. I hope we can maintain friendly exchanges in the future. Please accept this token."

Melen took the silver metal badge handed to him by Lucas, which had a complex geometric pattern engraved on it.

This is the guidance of the messenger. With it, Lucas can send information to Mellen through the spiritual messenger, and of course Mellen can do the same.

Because he already knew enough about the messengers from the spiritual world, Melen would not reject similar tokens now.

After Lucas left, Mellen played with the two memory crystals and fell into deep thought. He had a feeling that the former's purpose in finding him this time was probably not as simple as exchanging the Titan Colossus, but he did not detect any malicious intent.

He shook his head slightly and decided to let it go for now since he couldn't figure it out. He didn't suffer any loss in this transaction.

Each of the mechanical creations Lucas showed was very good, but some were not suitable for Mellen's current situation, so he finally chose the [Void Energy Light Tower] and [Optical Brain].

[Void Energy Light Tower] Needless to say, its own attack capability can only be regarded as a bonus. The most important thing is its ability to be placed in the void and absorb and transform the chaotic and disordered void energy.

Although the skeleton of the Void Behemoth is precious, it can still be obtained at the exchange fair, not to mention basic materials such as spirit crystals and empowering stones. As for Void Gold, I have not seen anyone selling it at the exchange fair so far, but collectors should still have some.

[Optical Computer] solved Mellen's urgent problem. If the Titan wanted to exert its full strength, it needed to be driven by specially trained personnel.

The Titans that Mellen has currently built are all controlled by Garuru and its source energy minions, but the latter actually also share part of Garuru's computing power.

In other words, as the number of Titans increases, there will always be times when Garuru cannot take care of everything, and the optical computer can perfectly solve this problem.

Basic AI virtual intelligence can give Titans the ability to act autonomously. As long as the combat template is built well enough, they can reach their full potential even without a driver.

Integrated AI virtual intelligence can be placed in research bases as a computing core, which can greatly accelerate the research and mechanical automation process in various aspects.

At this moment, Melen thought of the giant differential machine of the Brotherhood of Craftsmen, which was an extraordinary object that perfectly integrated 27 different types of mechanical mind modules and had the ability to learn and grow independently. If it could be combined with an optical computer, perhaps a very extraordinary mechanical creation could be created.

Unfortunately, the giant differential machine of the Brotherhood of Craftsmen was full of incredible coincidences during its manufacturing process. It could even be said to be unique to a certain extent. Even if Mellen could obtain the manufacturing method, it would probably be difficult to replicate it.

If so...

Next, while there were still a few days left, Melen began to collect various materials.

After learning that Melen needed the corpse of the void beast, Vic took the initiative to help connect and contacted a spiritual tribe called the Flash Sky Butterfly. This tribe has unique spatial talents, and the strong ones in the tribe often adventure and explore in the void.

For Vic's sake, Skyfly agreed to sell it, and finally Mellen sold a broken corpse of the Void Behemoth for 110000 magic gold coins. This price cannot be said to be cheap, and it is even slightly higher than the market price, but the corpse of the Void Behemoth itself is in short supply.

This void behemoth should have been similar to a manta ray when it was alive, with a body length of about ten meters. It was only a small individual among the void behemoths. Now only its head and half of its body are left. Through spiritual sensing, one can vaguely sense the traces of void energy flowing in the corpse.

Now, we have the materials for the void engine and the void energy light tower.

The main materials of the void engine are the brain and cerebrospinal fluid of the void behemoth. As for the metal with void characteristics, it is much simpler. The void characteristic is not a rare spatial characteristic. As long as the metal is born in the chaotic void, it has this characteristic.

The remaining bones are enough to build three void energy light towers.

Melen also learned more information about the Fisherman's Realm.

According to the most widely accepted theory at present, the Angler's Realm should be some kind of ritual, and the sleeping great being is recovering or practicing through the ritual.

In the realm of anglers, someone might be able to use a magic gold coin to fish out a divine weapon, while someone might gamble everything they have and only catch some useless garbage. What they catch basically depends entirely on luck.

But if you look at it from a macro perspective, the value of the bait and the 'fish' are roughly the same.

It is also because of this rule that the so-called "peak and off-peak" seasons have emerged in the world of anglers.
