"Good ones must be rated five stars." Lu Ran laughed.
I didn’t expect the second largest intelligence agency to be so down-to-earth.
"So, do you need any other information? For a newcomer like you, I highly recommend exchanging some advanced training information." Xiao Ling's cat ears moved, startling Lu Ran.
"What do you mean by advanced training intelligence?" Lu Ran asked.
"Well, for example, to train your pet, what kind of training resources are needed, which secret realm can you get these resources, and which secret realm can you get better training with less danger. These are all high-level intelligence."
"Or, information on monsters in a secret realm, exploration strategies, etc., can be considered advanced intelligence. Very suitable for a newcomer like you."
"Of course, the most critical thing is... the best evolutionary route! But this is more advanced intelligence."
Lu Ran looked at the little white dragon.
Xiao Bailong touched his chin and nodded, saying, "After joining the official organization, basic intelligence can actually be obtained for free, but advanced intelligence still requires some price."
Xiao Ling said: "After all, a lot of information was obtained by some seniors at the cost of their lives."
Lu Ran nodded, showing his understanding, but...
"I need to think about it first." Lu Ran said.
"No rush! I'll contact the people in the pharmacy first." Xiao Ling said.
"Okay. Wait, I think I really need some information." Lu Ran suddenly remembered something he almost forgot!
"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Ling was curious.
"If I want to buy weapons, armor and other equipment, or purchase materials to customize and forge a weapon, where should I go?" Lu Ran asked.
"This information is a bit too simple." Xiao Ling smiled and said, "You can ask Mr. Xiao Bailong next to you and he will know the answer. How about this, I will recommend you a place with a good reputation in this Infinite City for free."
"Coordinates 8766, 1273. The owner of this forging shop is a top-notch forger among the three generations of beastmasters. The price he asks is also within the normal range. Whether you want to buy equipment or forge weapons, you can choose this place."
Lu Ran wrote down the coordinates, but soon he asked in confusion: "Speaking of the life-type beastmaster, what is the specific situation..."
He had some idea, but needed to be sure.
"Um, didn't I tell you?" Little White Dragon spoke first, stroking his chin and saying, "I, and Xiao Ling in front of me, are actually both life-style beastmasters."
"A life-style beastmaster is one whose main purpose is not to challenge or conquer secret realms, or to improve his or her beastmastering abilities."
"If a beastmaster wants to improve himself, the most brutal way is to enter the secret realm for training. But you have also experienced the novice secret realm and know that place is very dangerous. Most people only experience it once and then decide not to enter again."
"So, they will learn some special skills, such as cooking, forging, and medicine making, to earn crystal coins for combat beastmasters."
"Then, you can use crystal coins to purchase resources to upgrade your level, and then hire a combat-type beastmaster to protect you as you enter the breakthrough secret realm. This will also allow you to steadily upgrade your level. In short, these are two different options."
"Has Mr. Xiaobailong given up on becoming a combat beastmaster?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yes, I have a wife and children. After thinking it over carefully, I decided not to do anything so dangerous. It's good like this now. Even for the most ordinary life-type beast tamer, the income brought is beyond the imagination of those elites in the outside world." The little white dragon smiled.
“If you were to ask, I would have recommended you to become a lifestyle animal tamer. Such people are often the most comfortable. But now…” Thinking that Lu Ran, who had a husky, was rated at least D, Xiao Bailong understood that Lu Ran would definitely make the right choice without his advice.
"Well, the basics are what Mr. Xiaobailong said. I came here to work because I don't like fighting." The cat-eared maid Xiao Ling smiled and said, "I am quite satisfied with the work here. The seniors in the store take good care of me and leave a lot of work and training opportunities for me."
"Look, I, an intern, can manage such a large place by myself!" Xiao Ling's eyes lit up. After all, this is a very famous intelligence center in Infinite City! Lu Ran: "..."
Are you sure they are not trying to force you to work overtime?
The owner of this coffee shop is so heartless, exploiting the interns so much.
Lifestyle Beast Tamer...
Lu Ran pondered in his heart and felt that it did not conflict with the combat-type beastmaster.
If a beastmaster can customize nutritious meals for his pet and create equipment for it, he can definitely train his pet better. But in the final analysis, it is still a matter of energy and talent.
“Xiao Lu, if you need to buy weapons, let me take you there! I am familiar with the roads in Infinite City and can give you some advice when the time comes.” After Xiao Bailong knew about Lu Ran’s potential, he became more concerned about him. After all, Lu Ran was a moving bonus!
"Well... I haven't planned to go there yet. I'll go by myself later." Lu Ran didn't want to trouble the other party too much, so he said.
"Okay." Little White Dragon was helpless.
"You guys chat, I'll be back soon." The cat-eared maid Xiao Ling also said at this time.
"But before that, let's add each other as friends."
Lu Ran nodded again and added the other party to the address book.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling signaled Lu Ran and Xiao Bailong to rest first, while she went to contact the Pharmacy Guild through the maid shop's exclusive channel.
At the same time, Xiao Bailong looked at Lu Ran again with a burning gaze and said, "Xiao Lu, how high is your score?"
"If your score is very high, you can get excellent training no matter if you join an official organization or a major guild. If you have this idea, I can help you make an introduction."
Lu Ran grinned and said, "Not that high, not as high as that pig farmer, joining a faction or something... I don't have any idea yet, I want to learn more about it first."
Xiaobailong was speechless, you kid is really stubborn.
"Among the first generation of beastmasters in Xia Country, there are only 13 active on the front lines, and they all hold high positions in the alliance."
"There are many second- and third-generation beast masters who are currently active. Whether it is the founder of this cat-ear maid cafe or the president of the Medicine Pavilion Guild, they are all second-generation beast masters. These people are also the backbone of Xia Country's beast masters at present."
"Although the Cat Ear Maid Cafe, Medicine Pavilion and other beast control organizations were established by individuals, they are actually all part of the Xia Country Beast Control Alliance. They just don't directly accept orders from their superiors and are only supervised."
"It can be understood as the difference between a pure official beast tamer and a semi-official beast tamer." Xiao Bailong said: "I am a pure official beast tamer, and people like Xiao Ling are semi-official beast tamers. In fact, in the end, there is no such thing as a completely free man."
"If you want a stable job and want to be part of the system, you can join the official system like I did. If you want more freedom, you can join the major guilds and chambers of commerce. You can think of it as an employee working for a company, and these companies are also one of the constituent members of the Beast Taming Alliance."
"The Beast Taming Alliance is the largest beast taming group in Xia Country, which is composed of official institutions and major guilds."
Although there would be a bonus if Lu Ran was brought to his side, the Little White Dragon in the Waves did not like to fool others, and instead explained the difference to Lu Ran.
In his traditional concept, most people still believe in the iron rice bowl! After all, the end of the universe is the establishment.
"These are probably the two options. After all, if you want to play in a secret realm dungeon in the future, you will almost always have to form a team. Wild teams are unreliable and no one dares to form one. If you want to find a reliable team, it's either the official strategy team or the guild team."
"Can't I do it alone?" Lu Ran asked.
"Solo..." Little White Dragon has a stomachache, but he is still a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
"Why do you think there are only so few of the first generation of beastmasters left now?"
"Except for those who gave up their Beast Tamers and transformed into Lifestyle Beast Tamers, the vast majority... died in the secret realm."
"This is still the case when forming a team. There are only a few beast masters who can solo. No, it can be said that there are none."
Lu Ran pondered. In fact, he still preferred to play solo. After all, he had the sacred deer pendant, and he didn’t want to expose the pendant.
This is the reason why he has been hesitant in the face of Xiaobailong's various invitations.
If you join the official team or a guild, you will definitely find yourself in a situation where you are forced to do things against your will. Just in case!
Rather than getting into trouble later, it’s better to go solo from the beginning.
So, is it possible that using the Deer Pendant to play alone will be more efficient than playing with a team? If possible, be a lone ranger in the early stages.
When the advantages brought by the God Deer Pendant are not so great, and the later secret realm copies are more difficult, it is not a bad idea to consider joining the organization. At that time, he will have a certain strength. No, at this time, maybe he can form his own team or even a guild, and only look for people he can trust!
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Xiao Ling came out again and said, "I have contacted the people in the medicine pavilion, and they will send someone over soon."
Lu Ran looked at Xiao Bailong and said, "I need to think about it. Thank you."
"Consider it seriously." Xiaobailong nodded.
"What did the pharmacy say?" he then asked Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling said: "The other party will give the wind fruit in exchange. In addition, I have obtained an extra 700 crystal coins for Passerby A."
"Thank you." Lu Ran said.
"You're welcome." Xiao Ling said with a smile, "Just come to my place more often to spend money in the future."
As an intern... she urgently needs a lot of favorable orders to complete her job promotion! "Okay... by the way, give me a cup of this." At this time, Lu Ran pointed to the "Ming Shen Tea" on the menu and said.
A pot of tea costs 50 crystal coins, which is the same value as the information just now. It is considered the cheapest drink here.
Mingshen Tea is produced in the Level 2 secret realm Wangfeng Canyon, which is a secret realm that trainee beastmasters cannot enter.
Lu Ran was mainly attracted by the effects of tea, which can relieve fatigue, clear the mind, and eliminate some minor physical ailments.
Although he had been strengthened and his physique had improved a lot, he had been running around in the secret realm without sleep for a whole day and now he was a little unable to hold on.
I hope this cup of tea can help him hold on a little longer.
In addition, the school’s remedial classes for senior high school students have been very busy recently, and he hasn’t slept well for a long time.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling immediately went to prepare tea.
“It’s luxurious, but it’s good for young people to enjoy it.” said the Little White Dragon in the Waves.
"I'll treat you, you can have a few drinks too." Lu Ran said.
"That's what I've been waiting for you to say." Little White Dragon laughed.
Lu Ran shrugged and said, this is for the purpose of rejecting you later.
Soon, a pot of tea was boiled and Lu Ran immediately poured a cup for the Little White Dragon in the Waves to thank him for his help.
As for Xiao Ling, as an employee, she is not allowed to accept meals from customers in the store.
The two drank tea while waiting for the people from the Medicine Pavilion Guild. Just as Xiao Ling said, the people from the other side were very fast. After a while, they heard a cry outside, and a young man wearing a pharmacist's robe and riding an eagle arrived outside the maid cafe.
