"Most of the beastmasters who have survived the past three years are currently working for the official organization. Their beastmaster levels are already very high, and they have intelligence experience, resources and props that are difficult for newcomers like us to access. By joining the official organization, they can enjoy some of these benefits with the support of the collective."

"Then of course I have to fulfill some obligations, right?" Lu Ran didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky.

"That's not bad. For example, if there are some evil beast masters among the people, the official beast masters will be responsible for maintaining the stability and security of the country..."

"As far as I remember, there are very few mandatory tasks, and you can choose to be a clerical worker. It's your own choice to recruit new people like me. Even so, you can get a good salary." Xiaobailong said with a smile.

"How about it, are you moved?"

Forget it, Lu Ran declined: "I need to think about it."

"Uh, it's okay, you can learn it slowly."

"Well, do you have any other questions?" Xiao Bailong did not talk too much about this matter and gave Lu Ran enough autonomy, which made Lu Ran feel good.

But Xiaobailong kept shaking his head in his heart.

It was obvious at first glance that Lu Ran was a student.

I have never experienced the beatings of society.

Otherwise you will understand how rare it is to have such a stable job.

"Yes... but there are too many. I don't know where to start. Can you tell me something I should know now?" Lu Ran asked.

"Okay." Xiao Bailong said, "As you can see, after passing the novice trial, if you enter the Infinite City, you will be teleported to the residential area. The house you are teleported to is your home here. Only you can enter, and outsiders cannot force entry."

"Walk out of the residential area, Infinite City has many facilities and a large area. You can explore it on your own. However, as far as I know, there is not just one Infinite City, but many. For example, the Infinite City of Xia Country is separate from the Infinite City abroad. And even within our territory, it is divided into seven Infinite Cities according to administrative regions."

"If you want to go to other infinite cities, you can only use the teleportation array in the infinite city. It costs crystal coins to open it. The facilities in each infinite city are actually similar, but some secret realms are different. There is no need to force your way there."

"In Infinite City, you can meet other beast masters and shops opened by beast masters. In those shops, you can sell or exchange the resources you obtained from the secret realm, or you can use crystal coins to buy some resources necessary for training pets. I suggest you choose shops with official backgrounds to buy and sell resources to avoid being cheated."

"Also, fighting is prohibited in Infinite City. If you violate this rule, you will be punished by the patrol beasts in Infinite City. If you want to resolve conflicts, you can go to the arena."

"Well, then there's the matter of the secret realm."

"The novice secret realm you just passed is the easiest secret realm, no doubt about it, because there are basically no pets above level 5. Other secret realms are not like this."

"And if a beastmaster wants to improve his strength, unless he is extremely wealthy and powerful in the real world and can buy all kinds of resources brought out from the secret realm by other beastmasters, otherwise, honing himself in the secret realm is the fastest way."

"Oh, by the way, I have to say something here. I don't mean that you can 'kill monsters and level up' in the secret realm."

"You should have discovered in the Novice Secret Realm that by killing monsters, you can increase the level and experience of your pet, but this is actually a special reward mechanism for the Novice Trial Secret Realm. In future secret realms, there will be very few such benefits."

"What?" Lu Ran was stunned. Can't level up by killing monsters? Wouldn't it be difficult to level up in the future?

"That's right." Little White Dragon said with a smile, "But relatively speaking, although the secret realms we can access are still projections, the resources inside can be brought out. Making good use of these resources is also a way to improve the strength of pets, which is not necessarily slower than leveling up by killing monsters."

"So, apart from a very small number of beastmasters who enter the secret realm to clear the level, a large number of them go there just to collect resources. It doesn't matter whether they pass the level or not. They will leave after collecting resources. Of course, the rarer the resources, the harder it is to obtain. They are either guarded by powerful beasts or dropped from monsters..."

Team up...

Lu Ran muttered to himself.

That's exactly why he didn't want to join. Mainly because he didn't trust strangers and wanted to avoid teaming up with people he didn't trust.

He believes that there are many good people, but he does not believe that the world is full of good people.

He doesn't want to expose the sacred deer pendant yet.

Xiao Bailong was still promoting: "The official secret realm strategy team is currently the beast taming team with the largest number of secret realms cleared in China. It can be said that they are full of strong players."

"However, these are ordinary secret realms. The most important secret realm is the breakthrough secret realm. When your pet's level reaches a multiple of 10, a breakthrough secret realm of the corresponding level will appear in the secret realm you can enter. By breaking through the secret realm, the beastmaster and pet can continue to upgrade. By breaking through the bottleneck, you will also get a new contract card and have the opportunity to contract a second pet... Currently, breaking through the secret realm is also the only way to increase the number of contracted pets. Contract cards are also one of the few resources that cannot be traded."

"So you understand, this secret realm is the most important."

"Well... at the same time as the breakthrough secret realm, there is also a public secret realm. However, this has little to do with you, so you don't need to understand it. The competition for the ownership of the public secret realm is the business of those big guilds."

"Okay, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Yes." Lu Ran asked while absorbing the information: "The so-called secret realms...are they all projections? Then where are they projected? Do other worlds really exist? Is this a game or something?"

Xiao Bailong pondered for a moment and said, "Well, your question is a bit beyond the scope. I don't know either, but as far as I know, the current secret realms seem to be projections."

"As for those powerful beast masters, I don't know whether they have ever come into contact with a world with real life."

"But I can tell you a rule. Ordinary secret realms cannot contact other civilized worlds. The novice secret realms and ordinary secret realms we entered are basically projections of wild areas in another world. There are no humans there. Only by breaking through the secret realms can humans from other worlds appear and contact human projections! At present, breaking through the secret realms is an important way for us to understand Infinite City and the beast control system."

He shrugged and said, "In short, we know very little about Infinite City at the moment. We can only play the game according to its rules. It is still too difficult to understand everything. Let's just think of this as a game of God, or the reappearance and revival of a lost highly developed extraordinary civilization. If nothing unexpected happens, a brand new era of beast control will definitely come to Blue Planet because of this game."

"To a greater or lesser extent, the world we know will change because of it."

"Young man, your most important task now is to seize the dividends of the new era and improve yourself quickly. This is much more profitable than going to school or working part-time. I can pay off most of my 1 million mortgage just by selling materials. Can you imagine..."

"Of course, I don't need that material. If it is a material that is useful to me, it is better to keep it and invest in myself. By the way, what is your secret realm score?"

"You look like you're in a rough state. It must be hard for you, right?"

"E?" He looked at Lu Ran.

"It's not easy." Lu Ran said, "By the way, I also want to know how to know the attributes of my pet."

"Oh, you know a lot, and the questions you ask are very crucial." Little White Dragon said with a smile: "In many places in Infinite City, there are 'attribute stones'. Just let your pet attack the attribute stone, and then according to the characteristics of the attribute stone, you can know the attributes of your pet."

"However, if you want to awaken the attributes of your pet, you need external stimulation, usually using 'Attribute Awakening Fruit'. This method is the most common, but attribute fruits are high-level resources, and it is not easy for newcomers to obtain them."
