As a part of a pet’s abilities, its characteristics would also change subtly with the pet’s experience, so they could very well disappear.

After finishing reading the skill and characteristic introductions, Wang Ye closed his eyes and thought about the sword rabbit’s current strength.

“It’s too terrifying…” Wang Ye shook his head.

Especially the newly obtained Flora Sword Intent and Sword Great Master, they were simply perfect!

“The way of the swords exchange meet… Eh, right, why is such a meet going to be held on Twilight Plains?” Wang Ye thought about it and suddenly found it strange.

He hadn’t thought about it carefully before since they had been simulating all day long, but now that he thought about it, it did indeed seem strange.

Twilight Plains was located in the southeast part of Xinghai Province. It was one of the most well-preserved wild plain resources in the province.

It had wetlands, dense forests, valleys, exotic flowers, pets, and all sorts of other things.

However, logically speaking, shouldn’t the way of the swords exchange meet be held in the city?

Why would it be held in the wild?

Wang Ye didn’t quite understand, so he sent a message to Ming Zhu to ask.

Very soon, Ming Zhu replied, “I’m not sure about the details. In the past, it was held in the dojos or universities in Tianquan City.”

“This time, it’s said that a group of powerful sword-form pets appeared in Twilight Plains, sword sentries. Therefore, they decided to hold the exchange meet in the wild. Probably so that this way, they can also meet those sword-form pets in the wild?”

“Is that so?” Wang Ye was deep in thought.

Sword sentries were a type of unique mechanical pet.

Mechanical pets did not originate from Dongli.

It came from Xionggang, one of the six countries, that was the first to research mechanical pets. For example, the earliest prototype of the sea mechanical kun, the sky mechanical kun, came from there.

Later on, Dongli had the mechanical pets they researched and developed themselves as well, but compared to Xionggang, they were far inferior.

Sword sentries first appeared in Xionggang. Later on, they were gradually abandoned and replaced by some kind of mechanical sword guard.

“There shouldn’t be many such pets in our country, right?” Wang Ye thought for a moment.

The sword-form pets in Dongli Country were rarely mixed with the mechanical element.

This was because many Dongli beastmasters believed that sword moves focused on one’s concept, while the greatest advantage of mechanical pets was that they had a perfect program to execute every step of the skill, making their sword moves often a little rigid. Unless the mechanical pet took the path of spiritual energy cannons, its sword was only a tool. In that case, it couldn’t be considered a sword-form pet.

Sword-form pets like Xiao Tao, or attributed pets with talent in the way of the sword, were what many Dongli beastmasters pursued.

The best were Innate Elves that were born with sword form and possess spirituality.

If a beastmaster’s talent was related to the sword, they would be a perfect match.

It was said that the dispute between mechanical pets and elf-type pets regarding the way of the sword had been going on for many years.

Now, the beastmasters of Dongli Country were also slowly being assimilated by the foreign countries.

The reason was very simple. There were too few innate elf-type sword-form pets.

It was also difficult for an attributed pet with talent in the way of the sword to cultivate.

In contrast, a mechanical pet had a perfectly programmed program that was comparable to a human’s intelligence. Its sword moves didn’t require much practice. As long as the mechanical pet learned it, it would be able to unleash a powerful might.

It was very perverse!

It was similar to AlphaGo of the go world.

Therefore, whether it was an innate elf-type pet or an attributed pet that specialized in the way of the sword, they were no longer in high demand.

What replaced them were the mechanical sword spirit-type pets that had extremely high learning and imitation abilities, as well as extremely high limits and modification possibilities.

“The times are improving,” Wang Ye sighed.

This was a good thing in itself.

After the dark fog attacked, although technology had lost most of its effects, humans did not give up on the strength of technology. Instead, they transferred it to the pets.

For the other five big countries to be able to hold on for so long, other than the Divine Beast Totem, it was also inseparable from the mechanical pets.

Naturally, Dongli Country was no longer the Dongli Country from back then. Since there were treasures in the other countries, they had naturally learned them.

Of course, the only drawback of mechanical pets was that they cost a lot of money.

A heavenly sum.

Modifying chips, mechanical parts, core engines, intelligent programs, and so on… Either way, everything costs money.

Tens of millions were just touching the surface. Only a small portion of people in Dongli Country could afford such a pet.

The foreign countries were rich in resources, so there were a lot more mechanical pets there.

“Oh right, let’s run a simulation while we’re at it,” Wang Ye looked at the sword rabbit and said, “A reality simulation, just in case.”

If the exchange meet had been held in the city, Wang Ye didn’t think it would be dangerous. The interior of the city was still very safe, so there was no need to waste the simulation opportunity unless it was to get skills or characteristics.

But now that the exchange meet was going to be in the wild, it was better to be safe.

“Mi!”

This was his first time simulating with the sword rabbit, right?

[The reality simulation begins, loading information…]

[The next day, you set off for Twilight Plains with your beastmaster. You were very happy with your first adventure in the wild with your beastmaster. You couldn’t help but recall the time when you first met in Tianxian Gorge.]

[On the way, the two of you met several beastmasters who brought their pets to participate in the exchange meet. One of them left a deep impression on you because he brought a mechanical sword pet, the scarlet light sword. It was a unique pet with two major attributes, mechanical and light.]

[It didn’t take long for you to arrive at the designated location of the way of the sword exchange meet. In a basin, you saw many sword-wielding pets. Some were from Xinghai Province, and some came from other provinces. There were all kinds of pets and you were dazzled. You didn’t think that there were so many sword-wielding pets.]
