"Is there a more reliable method?" Lu Ran asked.
"Humph..." Manager Ying looked at Lu Ran dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I'm an omnipotent god?"
"Isn't it?" Lu Ran asked back.
"Forehead……"
Manager Ying was startled, and slid her cat's paw across her cheek, revealing a shy expression: "Oh, you found out."
Lu Ran: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Manager Ying shook her head: "When it comes to the deep sea, I really don't have any good solution."
"However, I can sell you a piece of information."
"Let me know how your old turtle is doing after reaching the deep sea."
"If you're doing well, there's no need to be so anxious."
"If you're not doing well, you can hurry up, okay?"
"You can sell this too?" Lu Ran was surprised: "Don't tell me that your cat-ear maid cafe has opened in the Fishman Empire."
"How is that possible?" Manager Ying rolled her eyes: "But I can use one of my skills to get intelligence for you."
"Have you ever heard of..."
"Can you predict the future?"
Lu Ran was stunned.
Damn, I almost forgot, this cat also has time-related abilities.
It seems that it can indeed use the time system for deduction.
When I was looking for a necromancer in Jinling, I relied on Maomao's ability.
Lu Ran actually forgot.
Unlike the half-baked level of Pig God Zhu Kaixin, Manager Ying can really apply the time system to actual combat! "You are really a god!" Lu Ran was surprised. What is a top intelligence dealer? He can actually create intelligence out of nothing.
"Tsk." Manager Ying said, "But my ability to predict the future has four taboos."
"1. I do not predict the future of beings that are too powerful."
“2. I don’t predict the future of lives with too much potential.”
“3. I don’t know the future too far.”
"4. Every time I use the ability to predict the future, I must be compensated adequately. I cannot be used for free."
It frowned and looked at Lu Ran: "Your old turtle is not very strong, which meets the first requirement."
"Secondly, it has not yet reached my standard for determining strong potential..."
Although the old turtle has great potential, it is only a high-level transcendent after the revival of its spiritual energy. If you want it to make Manager Ying afraid of it, it must at least be the future of the innate king race.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
For example, Lu Ran's dog, lizard, and crow, after being nurtured by Lu Ran, have an unpredictable future and huge potential, which Manager Ying will not easily predict.
It is easy to cause backlash to oneself.
But as for the turtle, there shouldn't be any problem in the short term.
"As for the third point, I can only predict for you what your old turtle will be like in six months."
"If nothing happens in half a year, then you can rest assured during this half year." Manager Ying was sure: "How about it, is it acceptable? If it is acceptable, let's talk about the fourth point. After all, it consumes a lot of energy to predict the future once."
"You want to get it for free, but it's impossible."
Lu Ran looked at it and asked, "What do you want..."
"Give me some information that will satisfy me." Manager Ying showed little interest and felt that Lu Ran had nothing good to offer.
Lu Ran has to keep the good things for himself, so the only thing that can attract him is information.
As for the value of the information Lu Ran provided, that was not important. After all, she had to help Lu Ran no matter what.
Mainly, it wants to cultivate the good character of not being able to take advantage of labor for free.
“Okay…” Lu Ran had a headache, intelligence.
What other information can I have?
But soon, Lu Ran's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, "Manager Ying."
"Have you used your predictive abilities to search for 'sleeping ancient life' before?"
"Yes, so what?" Manager Ying didn't understand what Lu Ran wanted to do.
"Now that ancient life forms like the Fish King have awakened, it means that other ancient life forms will also awaken soon as the spiritual energy recovery process accelerates."
"But as we have judged, there must be a group of ancient life forms that are dying and weakened, and it is really difficult for them to return to their peak, right?"
"At the time, our idea was to... to explain the pros and cons clearly and see if they were willing to become undead pets and live another life!"
Manager Ying nodded.
"But this condition is definitely difficult for many pets to accept. Why not give them more choices?" Lu Ran said, "What if I can let them pass on their bloodline and reproduce at the last moment of their lives?"
"Huh?" Manager Ying was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Lu Ran said: "I obtained such a resource in the legendary secret realm just now..."
Next, Lu Ran told Manager Ying about the function of the blood-dripping stone.
"Once you encounter powerful ancient life forms, you can sell this information to them."
In this way, not only will it be an advertisement for Lu Ran's Blood Drop Stone, but Manager Ying herself can also make a fortune from the ancient life through the information of the Blood Drop Stone.
"Damn it." After hearing this, Manager Ying's eyes widened and she said, "You've revealed something like this."
"Is this information valuable enough?" Lu Ran asked quickly.
Manager Ying pondered and said, "It is indeed a difficult problem for powerful life forms to successfully reproduce. If it was in ancient times, it would be fine, with abundant spiritual energy and prosperous races. But now, most life forms are probably a single race, and only mate with similar races. The difficulty of reproduction has increased again. After all, reproductive isolation is hard to say..."
"Your blood-dropping stone... can indeed drive some powerful beings crazy, even the dominant species."
"Okay, this information is valuable enough." Manager Ying did see business opportunities in this information! Lu Ran asked cautiously: "By the way, Manager Ying, don't you have any ideas about the blood-dropping stone?"
"???"
Manager Ying was angry and said, "I'm only eighteen years old."
Lu Ran: ??? For a cat, 18 is already considered old, right?
Besides, you are 18 years old??? So the years of sleeping don’t count as age, right?
"To know the future, we need to go back to Xia Country!"
"I'm going to Qingwu Lake to get precognition."
After reaching an agreement with Store Manager Ying, Lu Ran followed it and embarked on a life-and-death journey back to Xia Country.
Originally, Lu Ran was worried about whether he would encounter danger during this return, but facts proved that he was overthinking.
Even if someone wanted to harm him, now was definitely not the best time.
After all, this might be the time when Xia State provides the highest level of protection to Lu Ran.
After a while, Lu Ran successfully returned to Green Sea City.
After returning to Green Sea City, Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing unexpected happened.
It's just talk for him to survive until level 60 in the Infinite City. Without the Internet, he will die.
"Walk."
After coming here, Lu Ran’s only bodyguard left was Manager Ying and a cat, but Lu Ran had no objection to this.
After all, you have a big shot who can predict time as your bodyguard, so why would you need a bicycle?
Although Manager Ying seems unreliable, in fact, she should be much more reliable than Principal Shi Zhen and Brother Zhu.
thump……
thump……
After Lu Ran and his companions arrived at Qingwu Lake, Marshal Black Turtle's successor, the Carp King of Qingwu Lake, sadly welcomed the return of the great Green Sea King on the lake.
It has a very strong soul power and is very smart. It saw with its own eyes that Marshal Black Turtle was taken away but did not come back. It has already guessed that something must have happened to Marshal Black Turtle.
Now that Lu Ran has arrived, its guess has been confirmed.
[Wuuuuuu, Master, Master————] The Carp King was heartbroken in the lake. After a few days of teaching, it had already respected Marshal Black Turtle very much, and he was both a teacher and a father.
"Why are you crying?" Manager Ying looked at the fish in silence.
Lu Ran also comforted him: "General Carp, don't worry, Marshal Black Turtle may not be finished."
"It was just, captured by a monster."
"It shouldn't be life-threatening."
"You work hard to become stronger and train yourself well. When you successfully transform into a dragon, there should still be hope of rescuing Marshal Black Turtle."
"Go ahead, go ahead and work out."
After Lu Ran's consolation, General Carp turned around and left with fighting spirit in his eyes.
Manager Ying's mouth twitched. Well, none of the extraordinary creatures in Green Sea City are normal.
In a small lake, Lu Ran found two beautiful girls, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.
A drama of "Practice hard to rescue the master" was staged.
"call……"
Without the interruption of the troublesome guy, Manager Ying's mental power covered the entire Qingwu Lake, searching for things related to the old turtle...
After a while, it placed the old turtle in the lake and fished out the shell that had been replaced.
Holding the tortoise shell, Manager Ying said, "I'm going to start."
As it spoke, regardless of Lu Ran's reaction, it closed its eyes slightly. At the same time, the tortoise shell in front of it was also wrapped by mental power.
"Let's watch it together."
During the foreseeable moment, it stretched out its cat claws, and Lu Ran, seeing this, also stretched out his hand and pinched it.
The next moment.
Lu Ran only felt the stars moving before his eyes, as if he had entered some kind of realm, and there was darkness all around him.
These dark spaces, like the big screen in a movie theater, gradually emerge from the darkness with light.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle……
The sound of bubbling occurs.
Soon, the dark space was dyed with dark blue, and the scene of the vast ocean bottom appeared directly in Lu Ran's eyes. At this moment, he felt as if he was watching a 3D blockbuster movie, which was extremely novel.
"Locked on..."
"Fortunately, fortunately, in the future when you don't go looking for it, your Black Turtle Marshal should be safe and sound..."
As Maomao spoke, the picture became clearer.
In the deep sea, there was a huge turtle that was dozens of meters long and wide, carrying a giant stone tablet on its back. Its body was dark blue and its head was bright red. Behind it were tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, fighting with a group of deep-sea sharks.
The scene was extremely spectacular, the deep sea was constantly rioting, and the energy fluctuations emanating from Marshal Black Turtle swept across the battlefield like an ocean hurricane. Excluding the racial level, just looking at the growth level, it might even crush the current sudden death king and others.
"This." Lu Ran was shocked.
"Manager Ying, is this accurate?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Ran was stunned.
Didn’t this turtle say he wanted to retire?
How did he go to the deep sea and become the boss of tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals? ? ?
Moreover, it seems to have evolved? What about the stone tablet?
It looked like it was forged by me, but it had changed a little bit, and the stone tablet seemed to have been upgraded as well? What on earth had it gone through?
The predicted future was shattered in an instant. Manager Ying's clone was exhausted and panting. He said, "My prediction is based on the preconditions. If you don't influence the future, it will most likely be like this..."
"I just said, it's okay."
"It looks like it's developing better than in your broken green sea."
"Perhaps, it is because your family and business are small that it limits its development."
Lu Ran was stunned: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, the black turtle must have been forced. Although it looks very brave in the future, I know it too well. It must have been waiting for me to pick it up and retire..."
"So what should we do next?" Manager Ying asked with contempt.
Lu Ran coughed and said, "Since it's fine, let it serve as an imperial general in the deep sea. This incident has given us a warning. If we don't have enough strength, we can't retire peacefully..."
"After this training, whether it wants to retire in the Green Sea or retire directly in the Deep Sea, it has the strength to do so. This experience... the experience of training and growing with the help of the resources of the Fishman Empire, is not a loss."
"I'll go look for it in a few months, when I'm able to go to the sea again!"
Old turtle, it’s not that I don’t want to look for you, but if I go now, I’ll just be sending myself to hell… Lu Ran sighed, I hope you are in the deep sea, everything is fine, wait for me!
