"Do you plan to teleport directly through Infinite City, or do you plan to go abroad in reality and head to Antarctica?"
Manager Ying tidied her hair and asked unhappily.
"What's the difference?"
Lu Ran: "Whatever is convenient for you, come."
"It is definitely more convenient to teleport to Infinite City, but after the spiritual energy is revived, there are many places in Antarctica that are very suitable for ice pets to move around."
"It's better than most ice secret realms, and the natural energy is richer."
"Next, a first-generation person from Xia Country who has also bred a new pet will lead a group of ice beast tamers to travel directly to Antarctica at public expense. I think it would be a good idea for you to take your Husky with you to experience it."
"Although it is not an ice-type, but because of the blizzard sword intent, it can be considered half an ice-type."
"It should be very happy when it goes there." Although Manager Ying hates dogs, she always delivers information related to Lu Ran in a timely manner.
"Really?" Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha who was still practicing sword skills in the distance.
After a week, after eating dozens of Qingling Fruits, Mr. Ha finally comprehended the "second stage of energy flow", but he was still a long way from reaching the sword realm.
Would it be nice to take it to Antarctica to relax? The simulated blizzard environment is certainly not as good as the Antarctic area with rich natural energy of ice and wind.
Lu Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go check if there's anything special in Antarctica later."
"I'm just afraid of being assassinated..."
"Are you going?" he asked his personal bodyguard.
“Me?” Manager Ying shook her head and said, “No! Anyway, we have Xia Guo’s first generation leading the team, so just let him protect you.”
"He is stronger than me."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"It just so happens that I also want to take the weather elf with me. If I take it there by myself, there will be no one to take care of it after we enter the Infinite City."
Manager Ying was angry, and he really treated it like a nanny.
A pet that is only one week old, what’s the point of taking it on a trip? Just let it sleep at home!
Lu Ran did not give the other party a chance to refuse, and immediately asked: "Which first generation is it?"
"What new favorite? Is it awesome?"
"It's okay." Manager Ying curled her lips.
"It's Zhu Kaixin from the Infinite City ID Pig God. He has just bred an ice-type pig king. It seems that because of that guy, he has gained an ice-type time-related trait."
"If the training is successful, his combat capability should be ranked high among the first generation of Xia country."
“It’s him.” Although Lu Ran had never seen this person, he knew him. He was the Pig of the Xia Kingdom’s Beast Taming Alliance and was also an idol of pig farmers.
Because of his background, he was also a pig farmer. He grew up from a pig farmer to a prominent figure among the first generation of beastmasters. It can be said that he was very powerful.
This person is also weird.
There are many new ways to raise pigs. All the pets in the contract are pigs.
Pigs of various attributes.
It's also very specific.
Some even suspected that he possessed some "pig-enhanced" beast-taming skills.
…
For the next two days, everything was peaceful.
When the time came, Lu Ran and Manager Ying began to pack their luggage and prepare to go to the Sky City airport.
At this time, many beastmasters had gathered in the airport waiting room.
There are generations from the first to the fourth.
Among them, some go there purely for tourism, while others also want to enter the secret realm of evolution and travel along the way.
“Isn’t this Lu Ran?”
"Hey, Manager Ying is here too?"
Lu Ran and Store Manager Ying are both celebrities in the field of beast taming in Xia Country. The former is the strongest fourth generation, while the latter is the most well-known intelligence dealer in Xia Country.
As Lu Ran and Manager Ying walked into the waiting room and prepared to find something to eat, a chubby young man who was chatting suddenly interrupted the conversation and walked over with squinted eyes.
"Hey, Manager Ying, you're here."
"This must be the big guy Passerby A, hello, I am Pig God." The fat young man greeted with a smile.
"No, I'm just a newbie, you are the boss." Lu Ran also said politely.
"No, no, no, I just became a beastmaster a few years earlier. I can't be considered a big shot. You are the big shot. You are the most eye-catching one among millions of fourth-generation beastmasters." Zhu Kaixin said in a powerful tone.
Although he is among the first generation of Beast Tamers and his strength may be ranked in the top 100, there are not many first generation ones.
Looking at the world as a whole, his achievements are indeed just average.
But Lu Ran is different. He is truly a celebrity, the kind that attracts the world's attention.
"No, no, thanks to the training of the first generation of masters, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today..."
"Are you two annoying? Just be polite for a while, but you never stop talking." Manager Ying was helpless.
The beastmasters around who wanted to get to know Lu Ran also smiled, there was nothing they could do...it was a characteristic of the Xia Kingdom.
"Haha." Zhu happily said: "Lu Ran, let's take a VIP cabin and have a good chat..."
"Come on, I'll introduce you to some other big guys..."
"Okay, okay."
Lu Ran smiled bitterly. He should have known not to come to the waiting room to find something to eat. It was so troublesome... It was all Manager Ying's fault. She said the chef here cooked well.
Next, Lu Ran collected business cards along the way.
Finally, just when Lu Ran was about to stop vomiting, it was time to board the plane. Lu Ran was led by Zhu Kaixin into a VIP cabin with seats for two.
Coming to the private space, the first generation started talking about private matters, saying, "Boss Lu Ran, you should be going to evolve your dragon lizard this time, right?"
"You have cleared the legendary dragon realm alone, so you should be able to transform into a dragon, right?"
"Hey, don't be modest. I'm still waiting to see your giant dragon crush the dinosaurs of the Condor Federation." Zhu Kaixin said, "Many media are waiting in Antarctica this time, and some are even going to follow into the secret realm, just to get the first-hand evolution information..."
Lu Ran said: "This group of people...are only afraid that the world will not be in chaos."
"No way." Zhu Kaixin finally began to reveal his purpose, saying: "By the way, Boss Lu Ran, are you studying the power of curse with Sister Shitou? Your new pet should be able to master the power of curse, right?"
Lu Ran: “…”
What the hell is Stone Sister?
Principal Shi Zhen? "Yes." Lu Ran said.
"Really? I think Shi Zhen has got it all wrong. Instead of changing back... he could just adapt to being a girl and regain his peak strength. Don't you think so?"
Zhu Kaixin looked regretful: "There were more men than women in the first generation. It was such a good thing that a good buddy suddenly became a beautiful girl. But in the end, he wanted to retire desperately..."
"But I didn't expect that your third pet didn't have a contract with the egg that the old president brought back..."
"Boss Lu Ran, are you interested in time-related pets?"
"Huh?" Lu Ran was startled: "Of course there is."
Around the world, there are fewer beastmasters who master the power of time than those who master the power of domain.
Lu Ran dared to let President Ha learn the power of space, but did not dare to let him get involved in the power of time. The main reason was that there were too few related resources and the difficulty of training was extremely high.
"To be honest, I have acquired a time-related ice trait that allows the ice power to freeze the time of an area."
"I plan to use it to breed a new pet. When my pig gives birth one day, I will give you one!"
Lu Ran: ??? What use do I have for you, the piglet?
Lu Ran thought that the other party wanted to give him the ice attribute! "What do you want to say?" Lu Ran's mouth twitched, and he felt that the other party had other intentions.
"Hehe." Zhu Kaixin said happily: "After breeding this ice pig, I plan to see if I can breed a dragon pig next. When the time comes, I'll ask you, Boss Lu Ran, to help me."
"No big deal." Lu Ran said, "When the time comes, just provide the ingredients, and I will be responsible for cooking the dragon dishes."
"Good brother! If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me, I'm helpful!" Zhu Kaixin patted his chest, which was bigger than that of the gender-changed principal Shi Zhen.
"By the way, where did you get that ice-type trait?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
"This one." Zhu Kaixin said, "It was dropped by killing a BOSS in a public secret realm. I tell you."
"The strength of the wild bosses in public secret realms may not be as strong as the bosses in Abyss or Legendary difficulty, but the types of bosses are very random and not fixed. The rewards are also very random, just like the rewards for breaking through secret realms. If you have time in the future, don't waste time on Abyss secret realms, and try to guard the wild bosses in public secret realms as much as possible."
"If you don't have time to watch it yourself, ask others to help you keep an eye on it. When you get the news, rush over and strike the BOSS with a sword as soon as possible. If you do it many times, there is always hope that a unique and rare trait will be revealed."
"Hey, do you know what qualities I want most?" Zhu Kaixin asked.
"What?"
"Lucky traits! Traits that enhance luck! I don't know if there are any, but it would be nice if I could breed a lucky pig. Although it may not be very powerful, it would definitely be very cool to spend time in a trial location like Infinite City. You can get a lot of rare resources."
“You really have the guts to think that.” Lu Ran chuckled. Since the Infinite City has consciousness, it would be better to kneel down and worship the Infinite City every day rather than relying on illusory luck.
The two then chatted for a long time. Although there was a generation gap in strength between the first and fourth generations, they were all young people and it was not difficult to chat together. The main reason was that Lu Ran's identity was not much different from the first generation.
In addition, this Zhu Kaixin is obviously a big mouth and dares to say anything.
Lu Ran also learned a lot from him, including information that he had never heard before on the Internet or from other first- and second-generation beastmasters.
"From Xia Country's side, I think we are the only two who have a chance of competing for the ten spots in this evolution secret realm."
"I don't feel that much about other people's new favorites." Zhu Kaixin shrugged.
"Thank you, old president! The growth environment for you four generations is pretty good! The second and third generations at the beginning were only slightly better than the first generation, and were far from as nourishing as you."
"Ah?" Lu Ran said, "What do you mean?"
Zhu Kaixin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said excitedly: "You don't know? No one told you? Come! I'll tell you!"
Lu Ran stretched out his ears to listen.
I just like eating melons.
"There were actually many awesome beast masters in our Xia country at the beginning. After all, there are so many of us. But when there are so many people, some dirty things will happen, you know."
"For example, at that time, the resources of various public secret realms were firmly controlled by powerful beastmasters, and Infinite City did not care at all, and even condoned this behavior of the previous generation exploiting the next generation."
"Although this situation still exists now, it is much better now. The alliance has opened up many public secret realms, and there are also various channels to enter and enjoy the resources in special public secret realms. But at that time, it didn't exist. The monopoly was very serious, and the resources were completely concentrated in the top."
Lu Ran said without any surprise: "Well...how did it change in the end?"
Zhu Kaixin grinned and said, "Our current old president wanted to enter a public secret realm to get resources, but he encountered difficulties everywhere. In the end, this old man made enemies with some organizations and was even targeted in reality."
“And the final result was that this old man alone killed more than a dozen first-generation experts. He was quite strong.”
“Who would have thought that there was such a fierce man hidden among the first generation? His strength is totally inconsistent with his age. Anyway, after that, he has secured his position as the strongest person of the first generation of Xia Country.”
“Shi Zhen, Gu Qingyi, Lin Nian and us, the first generation now, were actually not very sociable at the time. We didn’t join any factions and were only focused on conquering secret realms. But as this old man killed that first generation, the Xia Kingdom had to have someone to taming beasts, so we had no choice but to step up and take on various duties.”
"As for that old man, because he was too powerful, even though he was also the kind of person who liked freedom, he was forced to take the position of president after being invited by many parties."
"Hey, it's boring to talk about that time. You haven't been to college, otherwise you would know what the first generation was like. It was just like the student unions in some fake universities. They used their little power to do whatever they wanted. They were very bureaucratic and even swollen to the point of ignoring human life and being self-important. As a result, they offended some ruthless people in the end."
Lu Ran took a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "Wow!"
No wonder Manager Ying said that the old man’s combat power is the strongest in the country, even the superpower Lin Nian cannot compare to him. This record... is like the protagonist in a novel who is not afraid of power, except that he is an elderly version of the protagonist.
It seems that the reason why I haven't encountered any unpleasant things is because someone has already eliminated these people.
As expected, Infinite City would not choose an old man as a beastmaster for no reason. There must be something special about this old president.
Lu Ran continued to talk in depth with Brother Lao Zhu, eating melons, what kind of intelligence master is Manager Ying? This is what an intelligence master is!
Next, Old Pig Brother talked to Lu Ran about the international situation and how the second-generation beastmasters from other countries competed with the first-generation beastmasters for resources and status...
However, due to the long journey, Lu Ran could not keep chatting. When he got tired, he went to another VIP cabin to rest.
Until...
"We've arrived. We've arrived at Antarctica."
