Seeing everyone fall silent, Bai Qi continued, “Couldn’t we simply utilize the overlaid rune system of the White Meeh and couple it with these two systems?” “You kiddo, are you treating us like fools?”

President Qin retorted, “The method for constraining the soul with Rune Meeh has been lost. The reason the association is so interested in the White Meeh is to see whether this method could be recreated.”

“Otherwise, even if we perfectly replicated the White Meeh, it would just be a pile of scrap metal.”

Bai Qi, understanding this, realized why the association arranged such complex logistics, their main aim was this.

“But, President, didn’t you think of trying something mechanical? Even without a spiritual awakening, the mere healing device is good enough. Didn’t you previously bring out the healing pod to help us recover our strength?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding shook his head and said, “The healing pod currently only works for Beast Masters, and it’s expensive to manufacture, so it’s impossible to make it available to the whole Federation. The Moon Night Tower has been studying methods to improve it for years, but with limited results. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have placed our hopes on the White Meeh.” “Before the healing pod makes a significant breakthrough, our best hope is to try and replicate the White Meeh.”

As Xiao Ding said these words, respected experts like President Qin and Professor Dong fell into silence.

They had all experienced battles with the Ferocious Beast Tribe and understood the impact of not having proper medical methods. Although there are more Support Beastmasters now than ever before, it’s clear that these fearless machines were more reliable.

After all, no one knew when the next battle between the Federation and the Beasts will begin or how long the next war would last. The best they could do was to be as prepared as possible.

“Well, we don’t necessarily have to replicate the White Meeh perfectly, but simply put the needed rune system into the machine.”

Bai Qi scratched his head and said, “Even if we cannot combine the two healing systems, we can separate them into two machines.”

“Bai Qi, I know you’re a student specializing in mech warfare, and you have a talent for runes, but mechanics and runes aren’t that easy to combine.”

Seeing this, Professor Dong patiently explained to Bai Qi, “The precision of the circuit distribution in the Mechanical System is not inferior to the Rune System; the coexistence of the two systems can easily cause interference.”

Indeed, he was the first to think of arranging the rune system using the distribution method of the Mechanical System.

In the vast Federation, was there not a single person who understood both mechanics and runes?

It was a complete mess.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Bai Qi’s face. Xiang Li, who had guessed something, immediately responded, “Bai Qi, have you solved the conflict between the Spirit-Control Orb Machine and the runes?”

As soon as Xiang Li said this, all eyes returned to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi nodded and said, “I wouldn’t say I’ve solved the conflict, it’s more like I avoided it.”

He then shared his simple idea with everyone, with no intention to keep it a secret.

After all, this was just an idea. Once understood, many people could do it.

However, as Bai Qi finished speaking, the way Xiao Ding, Xiang Li and others looked at Bai Qi had changed considerably.

“Unable to avoid conflict, so just integrate it?”

With a solemn expression, President Qin asked, “Bai Qi, did you come up with all this yourself?”

Bai Qi shook his head and said, “Kind of, the inspiration came from Lu Qing’s Mechanical Girl.”

“Mechanical Girl?”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Li was taken aback. He knew of the awakening of the Mechanical Girl, even though he was not directly involved. It was one of the association’s experiments for replicating mechs. But only a few of the mechanical series had been successful, so it wasn’t used as a significant reference.

Although, hearing Bai Qi’s words, did the method of integrating the Mechanical System and the Rune System come from the Mechanical Girl?

“Yes, the Mechanical Girl is a Rune Structure, but it can be awakened through the Mechanical System, which means that runes and mechanics are inherently complementary.”

Bai Qi shrugged. “From a certain point of view, shouldn’t the Rune Mech be considered the ancestor of the Mechanical System? Other than the control system and energy structure, they’re quite similar.”

Everyone fell silent again at his words.

The Rune System was the ancestor of the Mechanical System?

Only someone as young as Bai Qi would have such an idea, right?

After all, the Rune System and the Mechanical System were two independent and mature systems that have developed over thousands of years. Normally, who would put these two systems together?

But maybe this was the reason why Bai Qi could always come up with novel ideas?

Thinking about this, many of the masters in the room had realizations. They looked at the smiling Professor Dong and began to entertain the idea of studying mechanics too.

“But for a structure as simple as the Spirit-Control Orb, if we’re thinking about large-scale machines, are you sure that there won’t be any issues?”

After considering for a while, Xiao Ding posed a question.

“I can’t.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately shook his head and said, “I just said that mechanics and runes could coexist. As for the specific design… ”

“Great masters, you certainly are all overestimating me. I’m just afirst-year student…”

You finally remember that you’re just a first-year student!

Did the Federation have a student with two core patents at the same time?!

No, there may soon be another one!

The technology of mechanical and rune fusion, this was absolutely an unprecedented game-changer for both the Rune Department and the Mechanical Engineering Department!

Seeing the ‘you’re-thinking-too-much’ expression on Bai Qi’s face, Xiao Ding and Xiang Li were left staring at each other, and Lan Ke, who had been in charge of the entire situation in the Tower of Knowledge, suddenly appeared, saying, “Indeed, President’s decision to let you join the analysis team was correct.”

“Hehe…”

Bai Qi scratched his head, saying, “I was just lucky, I guess there are many people who thought about it, but just didn’t put it into practice.”

“Perhaps that’s true, but at least these things have not yet appeared in the Federation’s patent catalog.”

Lan Ke gave a faint smile and said, “I’ve just filed your patent application. You’ll soon become the youngest person in Federation history to hold three core patents.”

Wow, that’s fast?

But speaking of it, does three core patents mean he can just lie back and rake in the money from now on?

Xiang Li slapped President Qin on the shoulder, unable to help but laugh, “Lao Qin, I thinkyou’d better let Heguang drop by the patent office and leave a contact for Bai Qi. It’s too much trouble for him to apply for it every few days.” It wasn’t a careless remark. The patent that Lan Ke applied for was probably just the mechanical layout method of the runes, and the Spirit-Control Orb and the Spirit Power’s storage device hadn’t been reported yet. If it’s reported, there might be a few more added to the list.

“For the first time, I find your words quite sensible. I’ll ask Heguang to handle it.”

President Qin agreed with Xiang Li. In less than half a year since this kid became a Beast Master, he’d already trotted out so much stuff. God knows what odd things he’d come up with next.

“Uh, President, Master Xiang, stop teasing me.”

Bai Qi scratched his head with some speechlessness, “Um, I just remembered that there’s a class in the training camp, I’ll go ahead first.”

Having said that, without turning his head, Bai Qi ran out of the analysis team.

With three legends and a bunch of masters gazing at him, Bai Qi felt enormous pressure.

Anyway, he already knew why the White Meeh’s multiple rune operation system worked, so there was no need to go there again for the time being.

But that technology of binding the soul of a ferocious beast to a Mech could be worth learning. After the big guys figured it out, he could learn then.

“Mission accomplished, time to learn…”

Upon seeing Bai Qi leave so abruptly, the masters were all taken aback.

Bai Qi proposed this line of thought. If the research continued, he would definitely be the biggest contributor. The honor it represented, not to mention the rewards afterwards, would suffice for Bai Qi to enjoy for a lifetime.

But instead, he just ran away.

“Perhaps it is because of this lack of concern that he can think of what we cannot.”

Professor Dong smiled as he watched Bai Qi leave and turned to Xiao Ding and President Qin, saying, “You two will have to work hard on the two healing rune systems.”

Xiao Ding and President Qin looked at each other upon hearing this and harrumphed as they walked away. It was clear that they were already starting to design the relevant rune structures.

They had not fully understood Bai Qi’s theory yet, but if the basic rune design was completed first, then subsequent modifications would be another project.

Seeing their behavior, Lan Ke also had a smile on his face. She patted a thoughtful-looking Lu Qing and said, “Let’s go help out. Just do what you can.” “Okay, teacher.”

Lu Qing nodded, glanced at the direction Bai Qi left, hesitated for a moment, performed some operations on his badge, and immediately felt refreshed, quickly immersing herself in her work.

Two weeks later.

Hum…Hum…Hum…

The vibrating sound of the phone woke Bai Qi from his deep sleep. With Bai Qi’s abrupt getting up, the rune books piled on him scattered all over the place.

Ever since Bai Qi solved the problem that was troubling the analysis team, Lan Ke had granted him the privilege of borrowing books, and Bai Qi took full advantage, sweeping out the books he hadn’t read in batches.

He obviously couldn’t read them all, but he could first have Schuck record it. The only issue was that pets couldn’t be summoned in the library, and various photographic and recording devices couldn’t be used. Otherwise, Bai Qi could have copied it all in the library.

“Are they looking for me so early? Could it be that they’ve found the method to bind souls?”

Bai Qi scratched his head in bewilderment, but after seeing the series of messages on his phone, he suddenly perked up.

“The Thirteenth Bureau has arrived, gather in the assembly hall quickly.”

Time flew by, it was already time for the joint examination by the Thirteenth Bureau and the Association.

Does this mean his mythical resources and Seven-stage technology were here?
