In the secret realm of the Demon Cat Forest.

Lu Ran and the others didn't know the situation outside.

However, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha had already predicted that they would definitely be back on the Divine Pet List!

If this can't make it to the top of the Divine Pet List, Lu Ran supports President Ha in dismantling the list in the future.

"Not only are the resources rubbish, but the crystal coins given are also very few."

Lu Ran sighed and collected the reward.

Even if you clear the game perfectly, you will only get back the money you spent on the ticket... It's not easy.

“Not coming back yet.”

Lu Ran made a choice immediately.

After passing the secret realm, the challenger can choose to stay there until the maximum stay time limit is reached.

"Boss Ha, let's go collect some more resources."

Lu Ran greeted Mr. Ha.

Since it was still early, Lu Ran felt that he could squeeze something more out of this secret realm.

"Woof~" Mr. Ha raised his tail, he wanted to eat the wood scale fruit!

"Eat it. I'll pick it for you."

In addition to wanting to squeeze out more resources, Lu Ran actually had another concern.

That was the tent that the novice encountered in the secret realm.

He once thought that there would be some hidden mission in the secret realm, but until now, there is still no follow-up.

Now they are considered invincible in the Demon Cat Forest, so it is worth a thorough search to see if there are really no clues left.

…

A few hours later.

In the exclusive room, the figures of Lu Ran and Mr. Ha appeared.

Lu Ran looked tired. As for Mr. Ha, he was also very tired at first, but he recovered quickly and was full of energy again.

Lu Ran has good physical strength, and a big reason for that is that Mr. Ha took him for a walk.

Before it evolved into an extraordinary form, it had exceptionally strong stamina, and walking it was a complete technical job.

"pity."

After some investigation, Lu Ran felt a little regretful. It turned out that he had overthought. The SSS score really meant a perfect pass.

He and Mr. Ha were just about to clear the secret realm, but the hammer's hidden mission wasn't triggered.

“I don’t believe it.” Lu Ran refused to believe it and didn’t give up. He thought it might be because the map level of the Demon Cat Forest was too low.

Perhaps, once I enter other secret realms and see a larger map, I can start the next step of exploration.

The secret realms are inclusive of each other. For example, the novice secret realm that he can challenge now may be included in the large secret realm map that only high-level beastmasters can challenge.

All the secret realms are partial projections of another world, so there are naturally overlaps.

“Woof woof woof!!!” Compared to Lu Ran, Mr. Ha didn’t care about any hidden tasks. After coming out, he looked at Lu Ran expectantly and asked him what his current ranking was on the Divine Pet List…

It was the tenth last time, it can’t be the tenth again this time.

“Let me see…” Lu Ran didn’t need to go to the Beast Taming Square to check, he just opened the address book directly.

Sure enough, his few friends bombarded him with private messages again.

Little White Dragon in the Waves: [Fuck! You are my brother. ]

Xiao Bailong was shocked. Didn't Lu Ran just get away from the Jinling incident? How come he is now number one on the Divine Pet List? What happened?

Lu Ran’s growth rate is too terrifying.

Pig farmer: [Ah…]

Feng Yu Piao Ling: [Boss! I didn’t recognize you before! Please help me! Are you in need of a girlfriend? Our store has recently hired a lot of single newcomers, I can introduce you to one! ]

This time, even Xiao Ling from the cat-ear maid cafe couldn't help but send a message to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran laughed and said to Gou Zi: "First, take it!"

Mr. Ha curled his lips in disdain. Is this all the Divine Pet List is?

It was evaluated as not challenging at all.

"But I feel you won't be here for long. Once a pet on the list reaches level 10, merges its traits, or awakens new attributes, you might be able to overtake them."

Mr. Ha:?

"Oh?"

"Moreover, the Divine Pet Ranking is only a potential ranking that is judged comprehensively based on combat performance. Although it represents strength to some extent, it does not mean that the top of the list is the most powerful one on the list. Don't be proud." Lu Ran taught Gou Zi.

"Woof!"

Mr. Ha showed a wise expression. No matter what, it is number one now and there is no way to suppress it.

"Yes, yes, keep it up! There is still more than half a month before the final list. If we want to be number one when the list is finalized, we have to reach level 10 as soon as possible and fuse the traits to be stable."

“I don’t know if it’s too late…” Lu Ran thought, “Let’s go to the cat-ear maid cafe and buy secret information.”

"See if there is a secret realm that can help you quickly increase your growth level."

…

Infinite City No. 3, cat-ear maid cafe.

Lu Ran came to this place again.

Manager Ying said that she would collect the bonus on behalf of Lu Ran and then hand it over to him at this place.

But when Lu Ran came in, he saw a few young cat-eared maids chatting and laughing, but he didn't see Manager Ying.

"Go ask Xiao Ling..." After Lu Ran came in, he was naturally seen by the cat-eared maids in the store.

“Welcome~~~” Most people here didn’t know Lu Ran, and they just warmly welcomed him as an ordinary guest.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling was in the store, and when she noticed Lu Ran, her eyes widened.

“No, you really came!” She just sent a private message to show her face, but Lu Ran really came to bring his girlfriend?

"Is he Xiao Ling's acquaintance? Then you come to receive him." The other maids saw that Xiao Ling seemed to know Lu Ran, so they handed him over to her.

"Forget it, I'll keep my word. I'll secretly tell you the information about the maids in the store who don't have boyfriends... It's free!"

Lu Ran: ??? “No.” Seeing Xiao Ling’s excitement, Lu Ran knew that she had misunderstood something and said, “I’m here to look for someone.”

"What, you already have a target?! Who is it?"

"Your store manager Ying, this private chat of yours has nothing to do with me. I need to find it for something. Is it there?" Lu Ran had a dark face. This guy really wanted to introduce him to someone.

Are you kidding me? Line up, line up...

There is no telling how many pet cats and dogs in Green Sea City would like to introduce Lu Ran to their owners. After all, Lu Ran is very generous and often drops high-end pet snacks randomly when he takes his pets for a walk.

Green Sea Beasts Fans! "Ah..." Xiao Ling was slightly surprised. Looking for Manager Ying?

She hadn't even met the real Manager Ying yet! She had only heard of the name.

"No need to look for it, I'm here." At this moment, a ragdoll cat appeared on the bookshelf without anyone noticing, and blended in naturally with the pile of cat pets in the maid shop. It did not attract the attention of other maids, and just looked at Lu Ran indifferently.

When Lu Ran heard this arrogant voice, he immediately smiled.

At this time, Xiao Ling, who was receiving Lu Ran, was at a loss and looked at the talking puppet in shock.

Shit! He was caught by his boss whispering to a customer during work hours, intending to leak information about other employees! Most importantly, he didn't ask for money for the information! Danger! Ying glanced at Xiao Ling and said, "Go and do your own thing, Lu Xiaogui, follow me."

As it spoke, its figure disappeared. At the same time, Lu Ran also disappeared from the spot and was teleported to another place.

Xiao Ling was stunned when she saw Lu Ran disappearing.

now.

A VIP room in the cat-ear maid cafe.

Lu Ran was teleported directly to the sofa and sat down.

"Manager Ying...please notify us in advance next time you teleport. It's very scary." Lu Ran smiled bitterly.

"I will definitely do it next time." Manager Ying snorted and said, "Okay, your reward for arresting the necromancer has been paid, a total of 10,000 crystal coins."

“So many???” Lu Ran was surprised.

"It's not bad. If we catch a necromancer in the country, even if he's just an apprentice, the return rate is many times that of challenging a secret realm. After all, there aren't many necromancers, and they're rare and valuable..."

Is this how things are used when they are rare? Lu Ran complained in his heart.

As she spoke, Manager Ying raised her lips and said, "However, it may not be easy for you to take this amount of crystal coins..."

Lu Ran: ??? “What do you mean…” Lu Ran’s mouth twitched. Why do you still want to keep it? Didn’t we agree to give it all to me?

Although the other party detained him, Lu Ran didn't have any temper.

"Don't be nervous. I don't care about these 10,000 crystal coins. If I say they are yours, then they are yours." Manager Ying said, "But I have some information here that you will definitely be interested in..."

"But the price is not cheap."

"What information?" Lu Ran was stunned.

"I was planning to buy some information here..."

Manager Ying said, "No hurry, let me tell you about this first. Your Husky was picked up, right?"

"Yes..." Lu Ran frowned. This cat... investigated him? In one night, even Ha always picked up such a thing and investigated it.

"Your Husky should have some differences from other pet dogs. For example, when it enters a fighting state, it will easily go berserk and lose its mind, which will cause its strength to soar. It is more ferocious and powerful than some large dogs or fighting dogs, comparable to an adult wolf king, right?"

Lu Ran was speechless. How could this cat investigate so clearly?

"So, what kind of information do you want to sell me?" Lu Ran asked.

Manager Ying smiled and said, "You must have searched for the origin of that Husky yourself, but to no avail. Aren't you curious about why a Husky could even gain the fighting power of an adult wolf king after entering frenzy?"

"You mean, you know where it came from?" Lu Ran stood up and his expression became serious. This was indeed a question that Lu Ran had been investigating but had never found out.

Their own Mr. Ha is extremely gifted. Even Lu Ran can only explain it by saying that he has special bloodline or is a reversion to his ancestral roots. He cannot determine the specific reason, but there is no doubt that if he knew where Mr. Ha came from, this question would be mostly clear.

“Buy it or not!”

"Buy it." Lu Ran gritted his teeth and decided to buy it.

Damn information dealer.

"Okay, I'll take 1,000 crystal coins from you. After all, this information is not easy to obtain. Then I'll deduct it from the 10,000 crystal coins."

“Okay.” Lu Ran nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the other party would ask for a high price, but it seemed that he was just adhering to the most basic ethics of an intelligence dealer.

"Now you can tell me Mr. Ha's background, right?"

Manager Ying said, "First of all, its genes are indeed excellent. It is not a bred pet dog. It was born in the northern ice field when it was young, so it is more wild."

Lu Ran said: "I can tell that the guy's bloodline is indeed very close to that of the Arctic wolf. Could this be the information you mentioned?"

"Of course not. This origin is just the reason why it can come to Xia Country."

"Your parents are both PhDs in biology, so you should have heard of the name 'Yunhan'."

Lu Ran was startled and asked, "Dr. Yunhan?"

He had an impression and knew this person. It was said that this person was a genius scientist, and even Lu Ran's parents admired him very much.

Lu Ran often heard his parents mention it when he was a child. The most important thing was that the other party seemed to be from Green Sea City.

"That's right. Two years ago, he learned about the existence of the profession of Beast Tamer, and has been devoted to animal research ever since. He hopes to develop the most powerful pet through biotechnology and genetic modification."

"He used his connections to collect a group of animals with good qualifications from all over the world, and your Husky is one of them."

"You mean, Ha is always a test subject?"

Lu Ran's expression froze. He had never expected that Mr. Ha was actually a genetically modified experiment.

"Then why is Mr. Ha wandering the streets?" Lu Ran was puzzled.

"Shouldn't such an important experiment be kept under guard?"

Manager Ying said, "Who told you it's important? Is it possible that it's not taken seriously because it's a failed work? If you don't have superpowers, how can you tame a dog that often goes berserk? Obviously, it's not suitable to be contracted."

"There was a major accident at Yunhan's Green Sea Biological Research Institute, which caused many experimental subjects to escape. Most of them have been recovered, but there are inevitably some that slipped through the net."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ran asked, "Dr. Yunhan, is he still in Green Sea City?"

"That's a long time ago. He's a foreigner now. He's joined the most technologically advanced Condor Federation with his research results. He's even working on a dinosaur resurrection project. He probably doesn't have the time or the energy to care about a failed experiment like this. Just keep him safe."
