Chapter 734: Talent Everywhere

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time after hearing this.

If it weren't that the man before her truly matched the appearance of one of the nine big shots on stage back then, she would have almost rolled her eyes.

She admitted to herself that she had some talent in breeding; plenty of people had said so back then.

As for coordination talent, honestly, she could also understand why Dean Sili thought highly of her.

After all, Yaobao's looks were right there, and with Yaobao's form, there was currently only one in the entire alliance, which indeed gave her a considerable advantage in coordination competitions.

But mechanical talent…

Forgive her bluntness, but she didn't even know the most basic theoretical knowledge; claiming she had mechanical talent would make it hard not to suspect she was talking nonsense with her eyes wide open.

Regardless, she didn't have a single mechanical-type beast yet, and whether one had talent for this sort of thing couldn't be seen from the surface.

Gao Fuqi also realized the problem. He cleared his throat and continued in a low, hoarse voice:

"I'm not saying this off the cuff."

The moment his words fell, a spherical beast about 30 centimeters tall, with a cold black metallic texture all over, walked out from behind him on its little short legs.

Gao Fuqi introduced:

"This is a Proxy Machine Beast. It can sense a human's emotions, thoughts, physical condition, and degree of brain domain development, and combine the relevant information to determine whether the person is suited to learning mechanical knowledge."

"If suitable, its body will turn green."

"Just now it scanned you from a distance and felt you have great talent for learning mechanical knowledge."

"Daidai."

The Proxy Machine Beast silently glanced at its own beast master, then nodded.

Gao Fuqi's expression didn't change.

He felt he wasn't exactly lying.

The Proxy Machine Beast could indeed sense a human's emotions, thoughts, physical condition, and degree of brain domain development.

It was just that the original purpose of giving it this function wasn't to test whether someone had talent for learning mechanical knowledge.

Once you enter mechanics, it's deep like the sea.

To cultivate a mechanical-type beast unique to oneself, with a complete evolution chain, one needed profound mechanical knowledge and a great deal of time; how could that possibly be determined by a simple scan?

That said, when a person reaches a certain age and their brain domain reaches a certain level, with memory and intelligence a notch above others, learning mechanical knowledge would naturally be much easier than for most people.

But whether they'd be willing to learn, whether they had the interest, and whether they could endure long, tedious study and experimentation was another matter entirely.

Just now the Proxy Machine Beast had scanned Qiao Sang from a distance; the brain domain reading was 41%.

Of course, Gao Fuqi didn't trust this data. Depending on distance, the Proxy Machine Beast's scans would have a certain margin of error and wouldn't be that accurate.

However, the maximum error wouldn't exceed 5%.

In other words, Qiao Sang's brain domain had reached at least 36%.

Sixteen years old, 36% brain domain—as long as she studied seriously, how could that not count as having talent for learning mechanical knowledge?

Thinking of her entering his academy, successfully manufacturing and cultivating a mechanical-type beast, and then taking it to compete in the Star Cup, Gao Fuqi's gaze grew considerably more fervent.

Really… Qiao Sang hesitated.

If someone else had said this, she naturally wouldn't believe it.

But the man before her was the dean of the Mechanical Academy of Yuliandun University, with tremendous achievements in the mechanical field.

Such a figure shouldn't need to waste time playing tricks on her.

Could it be that she also had extraordinary talent in mechanics… Qiao Sang's gaze fell on the Proxy Machine Beast; she hesitated, yet felt a little giddy at the same time.

Anyone who, in such a short time, had come into contact with three big-shot figures from different fields, all of whom had acknowledged her talent, would feel the same way.

"You want me to go to the Mechanical Academy?" Qiao Sang confirmed.

"Exactly." Gao Fuqi smiled. "I guarantee that as long as you study seriously, you'll absolutely create a beast that suits you best."

Having gone through two big shots already, Qiao Sang was now more than capable. She pulled out her phone as she said:

"Let's exchange contact info. If I make up my mind later, I'll get in touch with you."

Why does this feel so perfunctory… Impossible, I'm Gao Fuqi; apart from that group of old fellows, how could anyone brush me off… Gao Fuqi pulled out his phone: "Alright."

The two exchanged contact info, chatted a couple more lines, and Qiao Sang waved goodbye.

Honestly, she did want a mechanical-type beast of her own, especially after seeing the mechanical-type beast that delivered the acceptance letter from the Imperial Beast Master Academy back then.

But that was a matter for the future. For now, she hadn't spent any time or energy on this major at Super Su Xing.

Still, it was best to be on good terms with Dean Gao Fuqi. If she really did start manufacturing her own mechanical-type beast later, it would be good to have a big-shot figure in the mechanical field to consult with.

Why does it seem like I have talent everywhere… A breeze brushed her face. Walking along the road, Qiao Sang thought about what had just happened and couldn't help but break into a silly grin.

As she walked, she suddenly thought of something. Her expression sobered, and she turned to look at Little Xunbao:

"Let's go back."

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao put down the black flower, and a blue light shimmered in its eyes.

The next second, it vanished on the spot with its beast master.

……

Villa.

"Xunxun~"

The moment Little Xunbao got home, remembering what had happened earlier, it happily floated to the bathroom mirror, picking up the black flower from time to time and striking poses, imitating Gui Lianni's actions just now.

When Qiao Sang came to the bathroom, what she saw was Little Xunbao admiring itself in front of the mirror.

She was silent for two seconds, quietly withdrew, and used a different bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, Qiao Sang found that the vice principal, just like that morning, had prepared the meal and the energy pills, but wasn't there.

Really, so busy and still specially coming home to cook… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly. After dinner with Yaobao and the others, she went back to her bedroom to think about the skill combinations for her beasts' combo techniques.

At seven in the evening, the doorbell rang.

Gang Bao opened the door.

Qiao Sang heard the commotion and walked out of the bedroom as well.

Standing at the door, besides Ivana, was a lady with brown hair pinned up, wearing a blue mandarin-collar long dress, who looked to be only just over thirty years old.

And this is…? Qiao Sang looked at Ivana, her eyes conveying her puzzlement.

Ivana introduced her with a slightly nervous expression:

"This is Dean Virginia of our School of Journalism."

The Dean of the School of Journalism? Qiao Sang was a little dumbfounded, thinking to herself, why have you brought your school's dean to my place?

At this moment, Dean Virginia stepped forward after putting on her slippers, and said in a friendly manner:

"Hello, I heard that Ivana is teaching you Ghost Ring King spatial lockdown, and I wanted to come see how well she's teaching."

Can't tell at all that you actually have such a good relationship with your dean… Qiao Sang gave Ivana a look.

Ivana's expression was incomparably complicated.

God knows, from the time she entered Yuliandun University as a freshman until 5:45 this afternoon, she had never spoken a single word to Dean Virginia…
