Outside the institute.

Everyone looked at the half-collapsed research institute with different expressions.

Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were in a good mood, but their eyes were wandering, as if they wanted to put aside their responsibilities.

Gu Qingyi smiled.

Manager Ying looked speechless.

It had used teleportation all day and its energy was almost exhausted.

It’s a big loss.

"Maintenance fee: 8,000 crystal coins." Store Manager Ying said quietly.

"ha???"

Next to him, Lu Ran got anxious when he heard it and said, "You must be joking."

"It's just a joke." Manager Ying glanced at Lu Ran and Mr. Ha and said:

"But it's also a reminder, next time please don't demolish even the load-bearing walls..."

Mr. Ha listened to the teachings humbly...

To be honest, it had done this kind of thing on a small scale before, and was severely beaten by Lu Ran...

Although it was Lu Ran who took the lead and allowed it this time, Lu Zong also stood up for it! Ha Zong still knew the situation clearly.

"That's amazing. I didn't expect you could still wake it up when it was mentally confused to that extent." Gu Qingyi said. It is said that the Husky will destroy the house, and this time it was the owner who brought the Husky along to destroy the house. It was really eye-opening.

However, the result is good.

With the help of Lu Ran, Mr. Ha immediately got rid of the shadow of the past and faced the present.

As long as I don’t have to pay any money… Lu Ran suddenly said, “By the way, the materials from the research institute———”

"Don't worry, we have backups, and I've memorized them all." Gu Qingyi approached the ruins and said, "Dr. Yunhan's research in Green Sea City was about the spiritual realm of pets."

"Spiritual attribute. This is a very rare attribute. Although it is not as rare as time and space, it is much rarer than basic elemental attributes."

"This attribute is connected to the brain and controls the potential of the body. You may have heard that people or certain lives can burst out extraordinary potential under extreme circumstances. This is because the mental power suddenly changes, thus guiding the potential of the physical body."

"In addition, spirit is also related to many important skills. For example, the advanced use of shaping skills requires the integration of spiritual will."

"I heard from Manager Ying that you seem to have mastered a technique related to momentum, which is also a rough application of mental strength."

"What Dr. Yunhan wanted to do originally was to develop the mental brain area of ​​pets to stimulate their potential. Your Husky's frenzy is a kind of enhanced state that temporarily removes mental restrictions."

"But it is obvious that Dr. Yunhan's research on this topic has failed. The spiritual brain area is not so easy to develop. The experimental subjects at that time were all like this, a group of uncontrollable beasts that were prone to rampage. It was also one of the fuses of the accident in this research institute."

Mr. Ha tilted his head.

"The current situation is that Dr. Yunhan has used drugs, technology and other means to forcibly stimulate its brain and create a frenzy skill for it. The essence of the frenzy skill is to stimulate the brain and tap into the potential of the body. It is a good skill, but unfortunately, it cannot maintain its sanity during this process, so it is said that this is a failed skill..."

"Moreover, in daily life, anything that can affect its mental state can become a switch for it to go berserk, so this situation is extremely dangerous. It's lucky that it met you so early."

Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha, sighed, and said, "Then how should we solve it?"

"First, use medication and hypnosis to make it completely forget its 'frenzy state'."

"Second, the second attribute is to awaken the spirit system. Or, through special spirit system resources, strengthen its brain area, normalize its frenzy, and completely control and tap into its current potential."

"This is also the research result of Dr. Yunhan's plan to fully develop the basic potential of pets. However, since the resources for strengthening mental power are too rare, it only brings a small increase in potential, and the cost-effectiveness is not high, so this research ended in failure."

"After all, there are many ways to strengthen and develop the potential of pets. There is no need to stick to this path."

Lu Ran opened his mouth slightly, looked at Mr. Ha who tilted his head, and then looked at Manager Ying.

He was afraid that Manager Ying would say something like, "Drug information, 1,000 crystal coins, thank you for your patronage. Psychiatric resource information, 1,000 crystal coins, thank you for your patronage."

"Don't look at me." Manager Ying walked away. Although it could also find a way, since Gu Qingyi admired Lu Ran, it directly left the opportunity to do a favor to Gu Qingyi.

Lu Ran does have great potential and is worth training... Unfortunately, the contract is with a dog, which it doesn't like.

"Very confusing, huh?"

"If I were to choose, I would choose the latter." Gu Qingyi said, "If it forgets completely, then wouldn't it have suffered so much in vain?"

Mr. Ha nodded heavily.

"It is best to help it integrate this state by strengthening its spiritual power. By then, its racial foundation will become stronger."

“Although the price-performance ratio is not high, since you have chosen it as your partner, all the investment is worth it.”

"As for strengthening spiritual power, I don't recommend choosing spirituality as the second attribute."

"Psychic pets are rare. It can't control its frenzy, which means it's not very compatible with the psychic system. You should know that if the awakened secondary attribute or the fused new trait is not very compatible with the pet, it will affect the pet's future evolution."

"So, I prefer to use disposable resources to strengthen its spiritual power."

"What resources are needed? Which secret realm will give them away? Where can I buy them?" Lu Ran agreed with the other party's suggestion. He also felt that it was unreliable to awaken the dog's spiritual system.

Moreover, using disposable resources to strengthen its spiritual power does not conflict with awakening the spiritual system. The latter has to wait until Mr. Ha reaches level 10, which is still a long time ago. The important thing now is to resolve Mr. Ha's situation as soon as possible.

"Spiritual resources are extremely rare. They cannot be dropped in the Novice Secret Realm you can access." Gu Qingyi said: "What you can buy cannot solve its problem."

Lu Ran also showed a gloomy look, always feeling...that he had been tricked again.

This cat and Dr. Gu are definitely a chain reaction!

Next, you won’t sell your own resources again, right?

Why do I feel like I can't even keep the 10,000 crystal coins I got from beating the necromancer? I even have to pay for it. "So, Dr. Gu, do you have this kind of resource..." Lu Ran finally asked.

"Smart!" Gu Qingyi smiled slightly.

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and took out a white five-petal flower from the space.

【Name】：Carona flower

[Level]: Rare

[Introduction]: It has the magical power to heal, strengthen the spirit, and tap the potential of the body. It blooms on the back of the Dokarona turtle.

"This is a resource that will only be dropped by conquering the monarch race creature, the Dokarona Turtle. It is also the most perfectly suitable resource for it at present." Gu Qingyi said.

At this time, Lu Ran covered his chest.

Mr. Ha took a step forward.

"Woof?" Mr. Ha looked at Lu Ran, who had liver pain, puzzled.

“How much…” Lu Ran’s mouth twitched.

"I'll give it to you for free." Gu Qingyi smiled.

"Ah?" Lu took a step back.

To be honest, he was a little scared.

Since he was a child, his parents always told him that free things are the most expensive, so he should not be greedy and should not owe favors to others easily.

Indeed, Dr. Gu, with her fair skin and beautiful looks, looks like a wealthy woman, but he would never feel at ease if she told him that it was given away for free.

It would be better to let him be in debt.

It just so happened that he, who had no worries about food and clothing, also wanted to experience the sufferings of the world and the feeling of repaying a loan.

“Hehe…” As if seeing Lu Ran’s worry, Gu Qingyi smiled faintly and said, “Are you worried?”

“Then think of it as an investment.”

"In the future, I may need your help."

"Me?" Lu Ran was puzzled.

Gu Qingyi said: "Yes, although my level is far higher than yours now, there are some things that I cannot do myself."

“I like talking to smart people.”

"The secret realms are divided into novice secret realms, level one secret realms, and level two secret realms... Every time a beastmaster advances a level, a new advanced secret realm will be unlocked."

"But similarly, after coming into contact with a high-level secret realm, you will not be able to enter a low-level secret realm."

"And some special resources can only be dropped in specific secret realms."

“So even for a high-level beastmaster, it’s not easy to obtain certain materials from low-level secret realms. You can only buy them from others.”

"However, due to the limited number of beastmasters, the cost of conquering secret realms is too high. So far, there are still some secret realms that have not been conquered, or in other words, they are quite difficult and no one is willing to challenge them. In addition, Infinite City will regularly update new secret realms of different levels, and beastmasters of all levels have their value."

"You are considered to be a very outstanding fourth-generation beastmaster. In the future, when I need some rare materials, I may ask you for help. This is why the country attaches great importance to the training of fourth-generation beastmasters. Even low-level beastmasters can be of great help to high-level beastmasters."

"If you can accept this, this Carona flower will be my deposit until you help me get materials of equivalent value, and we'll be even."

Lu Ran looked at this resource. He could accept this statement, so he said, "Okay, but then again, if it's a secret realm that I can't beat... I won't go there."

Making money by selling materials in secret realms was what he was going to do later.

The leaked materials can be sold to anyone.

The only difference is that now, one has changed from choosing the secret realm at random to entering the secret realm with the needs of the financial sponsor.

This thing doesn't look cheap. It looks like I'll have to sell myself to work and pay off my debts.

"Well, happy cooperation?" Gu Qingyi said.

"Ah~~~" At this time, Mr. Ha couldn't wait any longer and stared at the flower in Gu Qingyi's hand, so he wondered if this was for it to eat.

"Eat, eat." Gu Qingyi bent down slightly and handed the white five-petaled Carona flower to Mr. Ha.

Seeing this, Lu Ran said nothing.

What made Lu Ran happy was that Mr. Ha still had his own eyes, and was not blinded by the food.

Seeing Gu Qingyi handing over the fragrant dessert, although Mr. Ha wanted to eat it very much, he still glanced at Lu Ran and asked.

"Eat." Lu Ran finally spoke.

"Ah!" The next moment, Mr. Ha was in a good mood and swallowed the Dokalona flower in one gulp.

at the same time.

As resources are consumed, the effects of the Dokarona Flower take effect quickly.

"Woo--" Mr. Ha suddenly felt a coolness in his brain, but strangely, his whole body felt completely different and hot.

"Woof!"

It started spinning in circles.

Bloodshot suddenly appeared in the pupils, then suddenly disappeared, and this happened over and over again.

"It's taking effect. If nothing unexpected happens, it will completely integrate the power after it goes berserk. Its racial foundation will be slightly improved. It may not cross levels, but its physical fitness will be much stronger than it is now."

"Probably, it's the transformation from the physical fitness of a purebred Husky to the Arctic Wolf King? At the same level, the basic attributes will be much stronger." Gu Qingyi said.

"In addition to this... his growth level should also improve during this process."

"You can look at its contract card."

Originally, Lu Ran was still observing Mr. Ha, but at this moment, following Gu Qingyi's reminder, Lu Ran quickly took out Mr. Ha's contract card.

This sight made Lu Ran stunned.

[Race]: Snow Dog

【Attribute】: Wind

[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 9

Mr. Ha's growth level actually rose three levels in a short period of time, from level 6 to level 9! Is this the growth brought about by tapping into the body's potential?

"I'm already level 9...Mr. Ha, how do you feel?" Lu Ran asked Mr. Ha.

At this time, Mr. Ha had changed from being confused at the beginning to being excited.

There was no more blood in his pupils, and they returned to a deep blue.

"Ahhhh."

It suppressed its "powerful" strength, nodded, looked at Gu Qingyi with fondness, and stretched out its paw, as if it wanted to ask if there was anything else.

Mr. Ha now understood why the pets in the park wanted so much to bring Mr. Lu together with their owners.

Rich people are really attractive.

The food that this sister brought out was much more exciting than the food that Lu Ran prepared for it! "No more." Gu Qingyi turned around, causing Mr. Ha to freeze.

"Stupid dog, you are too greedy. Do you want me to work for the rest of my life?" Lu Ran's face also turned dark.

"When you were level 6, you were already ranked first on the regional Divine Pet Ranking. Now that you are level 9, you should have caught up with the first echelon. I hope you can become the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster... not only in Infinite City No. 3, but also in Xia Country and even the world."

Gu Qingyi returned to her original expression and said, "Let me think about it. So, do you have a favorite first quality?"

"Got it. The weapon control trait dropped from the Abandoned Test Site in the Abyss Difficulty Novice Secret Realm." Lu Ran said, "Originally, I wanted to buy a guide when I went to the Cat Ear Maid Cafe this time..."

"Weapon control?" After Lu Ran finished speaking, Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying, who had walked away, spoke at the same time.

Among them, Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his temples with a slight headache.

"Hahahaha... I'm dying of laughter." Manager Ying laughed and said, "You can persuade him yourself."

"When I saw his Husky using a sword, I had a hunch that he would take a non-mainstream breeding route, and now it seems that I was right. If I remember correctly, the first-generation beast tamer Divine Condor Hero who also had the Tianhong Dojo background like him, had this trait integrated, right?" Store Manager Ying recalled.

"That's right, that silly man is my senior brother." Lu Ran was speechless. What the hell was he laughing at!

Gu Qingyi said, "Then you should know that if the fused characteristics do not match your own, it may lead to the failure of future evolution, as I just said."

"You insist...on letting your Husky try to fuse the weapon control traits?"

"Do you want to replicate your senior brother's path and incorporate anthropomorphic traits in the future? Let it evolve into a humanoid form?"

"Ying, so far, has there been any beastmasters in the world whose pets have completed perfect evolution through the 'weapon control trait'?"

"No." Ying said.

"Look, do you want to reconsider it?" Gu Qingyi asked Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was in deep thought.

Gu Qingyi continued:

"At present, there are two most mainstream evolutionary routes for snow dogs. One is to awaken the ice and wind attributes, integrate the 'king characteristics' and 'ancient soul characteristics', and regress to evolve into the 'incarnation of the north wind, the North Wind Wolf King'."

"Or, replace the wind attribute with the light attribute and evolve into the 'Aurora Wolf King'."

"Second, awaken the ice and rock attributes, fuse the 'giant quality' and 'permafrost quality', and evolve into a 'moving iceberg, ice and rock monster'..."

"These are all certified perfect evolutions. Of course, the werewolf route is also an option, but it is not very suitable for snow dogs. The most important thing is to integrate the weapon control characteristics, which is even more difficult."

"Other than that..." Gu Qingyi looked at Lu Ran, and found that Lu Ran was not moved at all, so she shook her head.

"It seems you have made up your mind." She was very troubled.

"Let me tell you, I'm doing evolution research, and I know the difficulty of taking a completely new evolutionary route. Moreover, it is based on weapon control, a trait that no beastmaster has ever been able to master..."

"If it succeeds, it will certainly be worth celebrating, and I will become famous in the beast taming field, but if it fails..."

"Actually..." Lu Ran's eyes were burning as he said, "Actually, I have figured out a way for Mr. Ha to perfectly control this trait and evolve it perfectly. How about I tell you about it, Doctor, and let me give you some advice?"
