After becoming familiar with Dark Crow's abilities, Lu Ran headed straight for Infinite City's official store.
Although there are almost no rare resources being sold, the major infinite cities still have a complete range of resources of rare quality and below.
There are also a lot of resources imported from abroad, and Lu Ran came here with a huge sum of money to spend.
However, on the way, when Lu Ran saw that Dark Crow was also on the list of divine pets, and also heard someone say something like "Pluto is so miserable", he suddenly pondered for a moment.
"I don't know anything."
As he said that, he coughed dryly and walked into the store. The first thing he bought was the Qingling Fruit, a resource that temporarily increased learning ability. Naturally, the more the better. He ordered another hundred.
Although the effect of this thing is getting lower and lower as the things he learns become more and more difficult, Lu Ran has already gotten used to having it.
besides.
I bought another 60 Dark Sea Octopus Eyes to supplement the Dark Crow's food. Next, its core diet will be Dark Sea Octopus Eyes combined with Thousand-Year Soul Bone Soup.
Moreover, there is no need for Xia Ri to cook for it. During this period of time, Lu Ran plans to focus on cultivating its soul power to lay the foundation for integrating the characteristics of the undead clone into it and awakening the undead system!
Afterwards, Lu Ran bought 30 pieces of rare quality water energy crystals, ice energy crystals, and lightning energy crystals as food for the weather elves.
After all the trouble, more than 2 million crystal coins were thrown over. Lu Ran returned to the time before liberation overnight, and the balance of crystal coins in his hand was less than 1 million again.
As for the food for Mr. Ha and King Death, Lu Ran did not purchase any more because there was still stock in his backpack. After completing all this, Lu Ran exited Infinite City, returned to the Green Sea, and turned off the Do Not Disturb mode on his phone.
…
"Manager Ying, where is Xia Ri?"
After Lu Ran returned home, he saw Manager Ying lying next to the Weather Elf with her eyes closed and resting, so he asked her.
"She left. She asked me to tell you that she has returned to school first. She should be preparing to challenge the legendary secret realm."
This month, following Lu Ran, the fourth-generation team composed of Xiong Anlin, Du Yuan and others also successfully passed the legendary secret realm. Xia Ri has now comprehended the meaning of the gun, and he certainly doesn't want to fall behind the others too much.
"Oh oh." Lu Ran nodded. To be honest, he wanted to include Xia Ri in the future plans of the Dragon Team.
The gun shoots out like a dragon!
Although none of this guy's pets are close to the dragon type, he can definitely wait for a third pet.
Unlike Pluto, Dog King and others, Xia Ri is also a "commoner genius" like Lu Ran. He has no background or faction, and is just a master of a gunman.
"Manager Ying, would you like some soup?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.
"What soup?" Manager Ying poked her head in.
"Fish soup?"
"Rat soup."
"climb!"
"I'm just kidding you. It's pork bone soup, precious soul bone soup. It's a resource I got from the secret realm. I'll start boiling it soon and give you some then!"
"That's okay." Manager Ying curled her lips.
Lu Ran did what he said, and soon set up a soul stone pot in the yard and started to cook! These are the kitchen utensils brought from the secret realm.
During his half-month cooking experience in the Necromancer Cult, Lu Ran had actually tried to make soup with many rare quality soul bones, so he currently had quite a lot of experience.
In conjunction with the soul cooking intent transformed from the sword intent of the mind, Lu Ran made drastic moves, stirring with the sword. He was not afraid of ruining a good dish, and boldly conducted experiments on a small scale according to his own ideas.
Two hours later.
The rich aroma of the pork bone soup penetrated deep into the soul and spread throughout the city. For some unknown reason, most citizens suddenly wanted to eat pork, and the pork in major shopping malls and butcher shops was sold out.
"Done!" Lu Ran opened the lid of the pot, and a dazzling golden light instantly filled the air. He laughed, and as soon as he saw the color, he knew that the quality of the bone soup was up to standard, and it had definitely reached the threshold of rare cuisine.
At Lu Ran's invitation, except for the weather elf who was still sleeping, Manager Ying, Boss Ha, King Sudden Death, and Dark Crow could not wait to taste it.
"Your Majesty is worthy of being the King!!!" When An Ya saw that Lu Ran served him the biggest bowl, he was immediately moved.
Soon, these guys, along with Lu Ran himself, started drinking together.
"Gurgle." After the bone soup went down their throats, everyone felt as if they had ascended to heaven.
At the same time, the bonus brought by the rare cuisine was instantly felt by several pets.
Manager Ying’s improvement is not significant due to her strong strength, but President Ha, King of Death, and Lu Ran can all feel it directly.
This bowl of soup... can strengthen the waist and knees, increase strength, replenish weakness, and strengthen bones and muscles! In an instant, Lu Ran, Mr. Ha, and King Sudden Death felt that the strength of their bones and muscles had grown a little.
Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha, who immediately had a question mark on his face, bared his teeth, and told Lu Ran not to take his bones.
Of course, in addition to these basic effects, the most important thing is the improvement of soul power!
The one who felt this most intuitively was Dark Crow, because it had never come into contact with soul food before. On the contrary, Lu Ran, Mr. Ha, and King of Death had already eaten a lot of high-quality soul food in the Undead Cult, so a bowl of pork bone soup at the moment did not bring much improvement to them.
"Ah~~~" It was the first time for Dark Crow to drink something so delicious, and his eyes were blurred.
In a short while, it had finished the whole bowl.
And at the same time, it seemed to have some realization.
"My lord, I want more. I seem to have tasted something different."
"Drink, and it's all yours from now on." Lu Ran also knew that he, Mr. Ha, and the King of Sudden Death had already replenished their souls, and their souls had reached the limit of their current levels. It would not be easy to make further significant improvements, so the best choice was to give the next pot of pork bone soup to Dark Crow.
"Woo woo————" Dark Crow started drinking wildly.
At the same time, he muttered, "It tastes so good, my king. It's not that I'm greedy, it's that I want to improve myself too much."
"Woof!!" Mr. Ha and King Baobi glared at it and wanted to beat it.
This crow is greedy so what? Why does it want to make progress so much? What does it want to do?
However.
After swallowing several bowls of pork bone soup, Dark Crow's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he spread his wings and said, "My king, I understand."
Store managers Lu Ran and Ying, who were tasting the pork bone soup, slowly turned their heads to look at the crow.
"Um?"
"What did you realize?"
Lu Ran was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the Dark Raven Contract Card in his spiritual sea.
At that time, King Death and President Ha gained new abilities by eating Zhenshilong's food, and the same is true for Dark Crow now.
Lu Ran really couldn't imagine what Dark Crow could understand by drinking pork bone soup.
Pig-killing arrow intention? "Damn!" But after taking a look, Lu Ran was shocked to find that it had indeed realized it.
[Skill]: Curse of Pig Transformation [Introduction]: You can use the curse to shape the enemy's soul and spirit, making it think it is a pig and keep the habits of a pig.
Lu Ran: ??? “What did it realize?” Manager Ying asked. For a “blank slate” like Dark Crow, it should have gained a lot from enjoying such high-level resources for the first time. This was not surprising to it, after all, this Dark Crow had a high talent.
“Hmm…” Lu Ran fell into deep thought.
"This..." Lu Ran turned to look at Manager Ying and said, "Maybe it would be more intuitive to find a test subject to demonstrate it to you."
"Mainly, I want to see it, too."
"Really? It's so mysterious." Manager Ying was speechless, and then looked at the King of Sudden Death.
King of sudden death: ???
Lol lululul!
The King of Sudden Death shook his head frantically.
"Let's take this one." Finally, Manager Ying used "telekinesis + instant movement" to temporarily pull out a criminal monkey from the Green Sea Prison.
"Woo!! Woo!!!" As soon as the monkey appeared, it showed extremely strong aggressiveness. In fact, there are such extraordinary animals in every city. After evolution, they are extremely aggressive and cannot be subdued or tamed.
"Ah!!!" This was indeed a monkey who didn't know how to live or die. Its red eyes immediately locked onto the "weakest" Lu Ran, and it leaped over and used a grab attack on Lu Ran.
"How dare you!!!" Upon seeing this, Dark Crow's eyes suddenly shrank.
The next moment.
The monkey jumped up, then suddenly stopped in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground. Then, it slowly got up and landed on all four feet with a confused expression.
"Huff, huff." Then, the monkey began to dig up the soil with its nose like a pig, making obscure sounds.
“Hehehehehe——”
"Ah?" Seeing this, Manager Ying was stunned, looked at Dark Crow and asked: "Illusion?"
It saw the monkey behave like a pig the next second and thought that the Dark Crow had cast an illusion on it.
But after careful observation, Manager Ying was slightly startled and found that it did not seem like an illusion.
Because it tried to remove the changes to the monkey by removing the illusion, but found that it failed.
"It's not an illusion." Lu Ran took out a soul-calming stone brick and smashed it at the monkey. The next moment, a pig-shaped soul covered with monkey hair was smashed out.
"Damn." Seeing this, Manager Ying couldn't help but say, and beside him, President Ha and King of Death also widened their eyes.
A pig-shaped soul actually emerged from a monkey's body? However, after leaving the body in just a few seconds, the pig-shaped soul began to twist back into a monkey shape and drilled into the body.
"The new ability that Dark Crow has realized should be formed by the power of curse combined with the special state of mind of pigs. It affects the soul and spirit of the enemy and turns them into pigs!"
“Unfortunately, at present it can only affect the soul and mind temporarily, and the effect is a bit weak. It would be great if there was a way to turn the enemy’s body into a pig as well. That would be extremely insulting.” Lu Ran laughed.
"Damn." Manager Ying was terrified and said, "How can there be such a disgusting skill?"
She immediately imagined the scene of Lu Ran's enemies being cursed by the crow and digging the ground with their noses. It was too cruel.
President Ha and King of Sudden Death also nodded frantically, looking at Dark Crow with fear. Being turned into a pig and insulted was more terrifying than being seriously injured in battle.
Dark Crow: “Huh??”
Lu Ran said: "Manager Ying, don't you think Principal Shi Zhen can be saved!!!"
Manager Ying raised her lips slightly: "Are you saying that after you have researched a method to turn a human body into a pig, you can use the pig-turning curse to overcome the sex-changing curse???!"
Lu Ran's eyes went dark, and he said, "How can this method be used to solve the problem? What if something unexpected happens?"
Principal Shi Zhen would rather be a girl than turn into a pig, right? Besides, what if the curse can’t be overcome and the fusion is upgraded? That would be a disaster... Lu Ran doesn’t want to be hunted down by a combat-type first-generation in the form of a sow.
