It was getting light.
Lu Ran went to the home of the current village chief.
He knocked gently on the door, and immediately the roar of a mastiff was heard from inside.
Listening to this annoying sound, Lu Ran exuded the aura of a ferocious beast, and even though there was a door between them, the sounds inside stopped abruptly.
"Let you scream."
Lu Ran had a ferocious expression.
"Who is it?"
After a while, the door was opened and a sturdy man pushed it open. He was about 1.9 meters tall, muscular, and exuded the aura of a beast.
"Village Chief Lu Yan?" Lu Ran asked when he saw him.
Just as the other party was puzzled, Lu Ran took off his mask and looked at him.
Village Chief Lu Yan's eyes widened and he asked incredulously, "Are you Lu Ran?"
The elderly and children in Lujia Village may hardly recognize Lu Ran, but as the current village chief of Lujia Village, how could he not know Lu Ran.
This is equivalent to a real dragon appearing in a small village.
In the future, his deeds will be recorded in the family tree and worshipped by later generations of the clan.
"It's me." Lu Ran said, "Village Chief Lu Yan, can I come in and talk?"
"Come in, come in." Lu Yan was quite surprised. He never expected Lu Ran to suddenly come to Lujia Village. He said, "Nephew Lu Ran, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back to the village?"
"Look, the village has made no preparations at all. I will organize it right away and have everyone have a banquet to welcome you!"
"Not really. No need to be so polite." Lu Ran said quickly.
"Why not? If you hadn't helped Lu Bing and the others, and they had helped the other beast masters in the village, the casualty rate of the fourth generation beast masters in Lujia Village would definitely be very high."
"It's what I should do. We are a family after all." Lu Ran responded with a smile, and then, under the guidance of Village Chief Lu Yan, he entered the house. When he entered, the mastiff in the yard was still lying in the corner, looking at Lu Ran in horror, with a puddle of water flowing from its crotch.
"Lu Yi, Lu Bing and the others went to break through the secret realm, and they didn't even tell me you would come... these kids."
"I didn't tell them either." Lu Ran said, "This time I just came to discuss something with you, Village Chief Lu Yan."
“Huh???” Lu Yan was stunned and asked, “Looking for me?”
"Yes, Village Chief Lu Yan, you don't seem to be a beastmaster?" Lu Ran asked.
Lu Yan's eyes dimmed, and he laughed and said, "No, I actually got a black card, but I thought about it and gave up on becoming a beastmaster."
"My son was one of the first generation of beast masters at that time, but... he died in the secret realm."
"I am the only breadwinner in the family now. If I do something so dangerous again, what will happen to the elderly and my wife at home?"
Lu Ran sighed: "My condolences."
Village chief Lu Yan is a very responsible man.
Faced with such a great temptation of supernatural power, they all gave up directly.
Lu Yan said: "Ah, it's all fate, we are all miserable."
Lu Yan looked at Lu Ran, and Lu Ran seemed not to recognize him at all, but he had actually seen Lu Ran before. At the funeral of Lu Ran’s grandparents, Lu Ran briefly returned to Lujia Village as a child.
As for Lu Ran's parents... they passed away suddenly and there has been no funeral so far. After learning that Lu Ran's parents had died unexpectedly, Lujia Village should have taken Lu Ran back to the village to take care of him, but there was no news at all, so Fang Lan's family got there first.
After all, Lu Ran grew up in the city. Compared to the Lujia Village, which he is not very familiar with, Lu Ran may have more contact with and be closer to Fang Lan's family.
Later, he took the villagers of Lujia Village to visit Lu Ran. However, at that time, Lu Ran was depressed all day long, self-isolating and isolated from the world.
Now... Lu Ran has obviously walked out of the shadows.
Who could have imagined that Lu Ran at that time would become the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster on Blue Planet in the blink of an eye, becoming the focus of global attention.
Destiny is such an amazing thing, Lu Yan exclaimed.
"Nephew Lu Ran, are you interested in returning to Lujia Village?" Lu Yan asked, "In fact, from the moment I gave up on becoming a beastmaster, I knew I was not suitable to be the village chief of Lujia Village."
"I have also discussed this with everyone on the village committee. From the four generations of beastmasters in the village, we will choose someone who is both capable and responsible to lead everyone to progress and integrate into the new era."
"However, the village, including most of the fourth-generation beastmasters, still hopes to invite you back and let you serve as the village chief of Lujia Village."
“After all, you are Uncle Lu Hai’s grandson, and you have helped Lujia Village so much during this period. No one is more suitable than you.
I know you may not think highly of a small village like Lujia Village, and that the village may even become a burden to you, but you are alone outside and cannot do everything yourself. You can ask the beastmasters in Lujia Village to handle small matters and dirty work for you."
"Uncle, we are all from the same clan, there is no need to be so distant with each other." Lu Ran said: "In fact, the reason I came to you this time is also for this matter."
"I came back this time with the intention of running for the mayor of Lujia Village and leading the development of the village."
"Really?" Lu Yan was overjoyed. If it was ten years ago, he might still care about the position of village chief, but since his son died and he gave up the black card, Lu Yan now only has one belief left.
It means treating all the young people in the village as your own children, hoping that they can be better and not fall on the path of becoming a Beast Tamer.
And now that Lu Ran has agreed to come back to develop Lujia Village, it is definitely a very lucky thing for Lujia Village. After all, Lu Ran is now at the forefront of the beast taming era. With him leading the way, it will be difficult for Lujia Village to fall behind.
"Um."
"Okay!" Lu Yan said excitedly, "That's absolutely fine. I'll go inform the village committee. There's no need for voting or hunting competitions. We can just hand it over right away. No one will object."
"Well, let's keep it simple." Lu Ran waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "Besides, I can't stay in Lujia Village forever. The reason why I want to be the village chief is because I want to lead the village to carry out some reforms."
"reform?"
"For this, can you help gather all the villagers? I plan to talk to everyone at the same time." Lu Ran said seriously: "This is related to the important development of Lujia Village in the next 100 years!"
“No problem.” Lu Yan was stunned, then chose to believe Lu Ran and nodded heavily.
………………
After a moment, the village loudspeaker started shouting.
"All villagers, please pay attention. All villagers, please pay attention."
"Except for the elderly and children who have difficulty walking, please all come to the front of the village committee compound. There is something important to announce. There is something important to announce."
"It concerns the succession of the old and new village chiefs, and the development of Lujia Village in the next few decades or hundreds of years. Please make sure everyone is present."
Before long, almost all the villagers, except for the elderly who had difficulty walking, gathered outside the courtyard of the village committee.
"What's going on?"
“I don’t know.”
"New village chief? I remember it's not the election time yet."
Hundreds of villagers gathered together, and they still didn't understand why they were called over.
Early in the morning, some people came here without even having time to change their clothes, wearing only their shorts.
The older generation of the Lu family had no idea what this bastard Lu Yan was doing so crazy so early in the morning and why he insisted that everyone come over.
Village chief? Why is the village chief changing positions?
When most people had gathered, Lu Yan, who was on the platform, shouted with a loud speaker: "Everyone, be patient and quiet!"
"Next, I have an important announcement to make. From today on, I am no longer the head of Lujia Village."
"Next, please let the new village chief say a few words to everyone."
"Lu Yan, what are you doing!" Several older people holding crutches almost went up to hit Lu Yan, but as Lu Ran walked up, the scene suddenly became silent.
Especially the young people, their eyes widened.
"Fuck, Road God."
“Is it Lu Ran? Lu Ran himself?!”
"I have a treasured photo of him by my bed. I have looked at it many times and there is no mistake."
"He actually returned to the village."
"Wait, could it be that the new village chief that Village Chief Lu Yan mentioned is..."
At this moment, the shouts for Lu Ran to show up were no less than the sensation caused by a national superstar appearing in the crowd.
Facing thousands of villagers, Lu Ran felt a little unnatural. After he went up, he said, "Hello, uncles and aunts, grandpas and aunts, brothers and sisters, I am Lu Ran."
"My grandfather is Lu Hai, the former village chief of our Lujia Village. I'm sure some of you know him."
"Just now, I had a discussion with Village Chief Lu Yan. I will take over as the village chief of Lujia Village. I wonder if you have any opinions."
“Fuck…” After Lu Ran finished speaking, the young people were completely excited. What opinion could this guy have?
You should know that the biggest demand in Lujia Village before was to invite Lu Ran back to be the village chief.
Now that their wish has come true, they are too happy to wait. The older generation put down their crutches and looked at Lu Ran in astonishment... Did they really invite Lu Hai, this amazing grandson, back? "No problem!!!"
"Fuck it, if anyone dares to object, I'll steal his chicken."
“Brother Lu, from now on, if you go east, I will never go west. Can you take me to the secret realm like you did with Lu Bing and the others? Just once will be fine.”
"Is there a signature or not?"
"I want to take a photo with the Wind Sword Dog."
"Have you ever considered breeding the Wind Swordhound?"
Faced with the cheers of the young people, villagers of other ages had no room to interrupt.
Lu Ran laughed dryly, he was so popular...
"Actually." Lu Ran said, "I want to come back and be the village chief and lead everyone to progress. I am also entrusted by others."
Well..
Lu Ran's words suddenly stunned the villagers.
Beside him, Lu Yan was also slightly stunned.
Lu Ran continued: "I don't know if you remember the myths and legends of Lujia Village. In ancient times, there was a divine deer that protected our clan."
How could the villagers of Lujia Village not know this? Almost every elder in the family likes to tell the story of the divine deer to the children. Of course, everyone just treats it as a myth and legend.
Who believes this except the older generation?
“What if I say that the divine deer… really exists?” Lu Ran’s tone and expression were extremely serious.
After he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet, and some elderly people even opened their eyes wide.
Compared with the young people who were born in the new era, those who grew up in the old era are obviously more sensitive to these things. At that time, the village still retained the worship of the sacred deer...
"After the spiritual energy was revived, I came into contact with some secrets. The reason why I wanted to help Lujia Village develop was actually because I got a dream from the divine deer, and the divine deer existed somewhere."
"In ancient times, no one would have imagined the situation of Lujia Village. We were a super tribe in the world, enough to be ranked in the top ten. But now, many things have changed and we have declined. But now the sacred deer is about to wake up, and it is not a dream for Lujia Village to regain its former glory."
"Due to some accidents back then, in order to protect Lujia Village, the divine deer was severely injured and fell into a deep sleep."
"But now that the spiritual energy has revived, the divine deer is not far from returning. Before it woke up, it gave me some resources in a dream, hoping that I could lead Lujia Village to the peak again."
"This is the main reason why I came back to Lujia Village. From now on, thanks to the grace of the divine deer, as long as you are a member of the Lu family, everyone will receive a large amount of resources every month!!"
"If you are a beast tamer, you can get beast taming skills, special crystals, top-quality young pets, and a large amount of crystal coins."
"Those of you who are not beastmasters can receive a large amount of cash. Soon everyone will become a millionaire. You can also receive extraordinary nutritional supplements that can prolong life and cure diseases..."
"Let's set a small goal first, and become the best village in the world. Believe me, we can do it."
After Lu Ran finished speaking, facing this pyramid scheme-like rhetoric, young and old people all covered their pounding hearts and widened their eyes in disbelief.
However, the person who said this was Lu Ran, the strongest fourth generation of Blue Star, so his credibility was almost unquestionable! !
Lu Ran didn't need to lie to them! Only Manager Ying was secretly jumping up and down. You are really good at fooling people!
"God of Deer!!! I told you, I knew the divine deer must exist." Suddenly, an old lady in her seventies burst into tears and fell to her knees, scaring Lu Ran so much that he quickly said:
"Help the old lady up quickly, and calm down first."
"Everything I said is true. From now on, everyone in the Lu family will be blessed by the divine deer."
"No need to thank me, I am just working for the divine deer. Please don't spread the word, otherwise Lujia Village will never have peace."
“Whoever dares to reveal this matter will be expelled from Lujia Village forever! Expelled from the Lu clan!” At this time, an old generation poked his crutches and said with red eyes that they were the ones who believed in the existence of the divine deer the most.
The old men looked at Lu Ran in disbelief... Is he the messenger of the sacred deer? ? Facing the excited villagers, Lu Ran could only smile bitterly: "If you want to thank someone, thank the sacred deer, not me."
"Especially my brothers and sisters who are beastmasters. The divine deer also said that in the future, they will select some tribesmen who have made great contributions to the village and give them legendary blessings. You should seize the opportunity. If you can get the blessing of the divine deer, in the future, the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster of Blue Star may not be me, but you. Everyone has a chance."
"Everything for the village!"
"Next, when I become the village chief, the first reform I plan to make is to set up a sacred deer festival in the village, and worship the sacred deer regularly several times a year. This will be presided over by the elderly in the village who are not engaged in production."
"Young people in the village, if they are beastmasters, continue to form teams and hone their strength in the Infinite City secret realm."
"Instead of being a beastmaster, I will invite professional professors from the Beast Taming University who are proficient in pet raising and spiritual plant cultivation to help everyone transform their industry and transform Lujia Village into a beast taming village."
"From now on, everyone will engage in the breeding of extraordinary creatures and the cultivation of spiritual plants to develop the village."
"I hope that Lujia Village can regain its former glory through our joint efforts." Lu Ran smiled slightly, but felt pain in his heart.
The divine deer did not provide any resources. All the resources for the subsequent investment in Lujia Village had to be provided by him alone. Moreover, he had to let the villagers thank the divine deer... for providing the power of faith.
It was too difficult, but considering the broken horn of the sacred deer, Lu Ran accepted it.
After all, Lujia Village doesn’t have many people and the place is not big, so it won’t make him bankrupt.
“The best village in the world!!!”
“The best village in the world!!!”
Today is destined to be an exceptionally exciting and uplifting day for Lujia Village.
Many young people shouted excitedly in response to Lu Ran's speech.
The happiest thing in life is to know that you have a billionaire father.
The people of Lujia Village were very happy to know that their village was truly protected by a divine beast.
Soon, at Lu Ran's suggestion, the people of Lujia Village began to call back the villagers who had gone out to work or go to school.
…
"A Bing, come back!!! The village is distributing gold bars!!"
"Son! Are you still working in that crappy class? So what if you become a manager? Come back now!"
"Brother, my brother, please come back soon. There is a succubus in the village."
On this day, the four generations of animal tamers in Lujia Village, when they returned home, the first thing they did was to ask the old man for more myths and legends about the divine deer, listening to them as if they were the Bible.
Rather than simply obtaining resources, they want to receive the blessing of the divine deer, to become super-powerful beast tamers like Lu Ran, and to become leaders of the times.
Believe in the sacred deer! Contribute to the construction of the village! Clan villages like Lujia Village have a strong cohesion. Now they have the same belief to enhance their cohesion. The vitality they show is particularly terrifying.
At the same time, in Lujia Village, faint points of light gathered in the sky and merged into the deer spirits of faith that only Lu Ran could see...
"This..." Lu Ran was stunned when he saw this. I haven't distributed these resources yet, but the power of your faith is emerging very quickly. That's right, there are still a lot of people who believe in gods that don't give any benefits. What's more, this "Deer/Road God" is really going to distribute money.
"Isn't it going to end up like this, where Lujia Village really becomes the best village in the world, with every villager being super good at fighting?" Lu Ran stroked his chin, ignoring the twitching expression on the corner of the mouth of the store manager Ying next to him, and said, "Forget it, it's not important. Everything is for President Lu."
