Infinite City, a luxury restaurant.

Lu Ran, Fang Lan, the pig farmer, and Lu Bing started a celebration banquet.

At this time, all the resources that had just been revealed had fallen into Lu Ran's hands, so he could still afford a meal.

"There is no need to clear the Fiery Thunder Ruins anymore."

"What I need is the 'red lightning trait'." Lu Ran said.

"Are you going to contract a lightning-type beast for your second pet?" Lu Bing asked curiously.

After all, if you don't have a lightning contract, there's no need to brush up on the red lightning trait.

As for awakening the thunder attribute for Erha... it's not very realistic. If you want to awaken the thunder attribute and fusion characteristics at the same time, you have to reach level 30 at least.

Moreover, the first characteristic is the control of fusion weapons... Lu Bing doesn't quite believe that Mr. Ha's next choice will be so normal.

"Yeah." Lu Ran smiled slightly.

He heard from Fang Lan that King of Sudden Death had performed quite well and had accumulated a lot of confidence through continuous fighting.

The pig farmer asked expectantly, "Which secret realm shall we challenge next?"

He felt that the future was full of hope! After all, Lu Ran had said that after his needs were met and the debts were paid off, he would take them to swipe the skill cards and special crystals.

Among the four people present, except Lu Ran who possessed both the beast taming skills and his pet beast was fused with special crystals, the other three only had basic panels and nothing else.

If they could have the same configuration as Lu Ran, their strength would be even stronger.

"Boss Ha's level 10 special crystal has been fused. When the King of Sudden Death was at level 10, it was fused with red lightning. I remember that you already have a beast control skill. When you break through to the first level of beast control, you can learn another beast control skill..."

"So next, either I prepare a second special crystal for Mr. Ha and King of Sudden Death, or I prepare a second beast taming skill for you, right?" Fang Lan analyzed.

"That's right, but I haven't decided what I want yet." Lu Ran picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, and said in confusion.

It would be best if these could be prepared during the novice secret realm stage.

However, the powerful crystals and powerful skills in the novice secret realm are limited.

Many powerful traits and rare beast-taming skills are found in high-level secret realms.

For example, in a novice-level secret realm, basically only "attribute enhancement" beast taming skills can be dropped.

It is the kind of beast taming skill that consumes the physical strength of the beast tamer and strengthens a certain attribute energy of the pet.

Although there is essentially no difference in strength among beast taming skills, and it all depends on the development of the beast tamer, this type of beast taming skill is undoubtedly at the bottom of the skill chain, and the market price is also very cheap.

As for the beast-taming skills that can only be found in some high-level secret realms, they are either priced sky-high or there are people who want to buy them but no one is willing to sell them to them. After all, one has to face off against powerful BOSSes from the king race or even the overlord race.

Lu Ran doesn't like attribute enhancement very much.

Honestly speaking, he prefers super beast mimicry, or his senior brother Divine Condor Hero's combined talent, which are those cool and special beast-taming skills.

However, there are basically no such skill cards dropped in the Novice Secret Realm.

There is also a very small chance of obtaining it only in public secret realms, but it is a once in a lifetime opportunity and requires extremely great luck.

Lu Ran’s senior brother, the Condor Hero, obtained the “Special Borrowing Beast Taming Skills” when he and his teammates teamed up to explore a public secret realm. He had two special beast taming skills at the beginning and could be said to be a chosen one.

Therefore, Lu Ran thought, wait a minute, compared to the wind-type enhancement talents and thunder-type enhancement talents, there might be better options in the first-level secret realm.

"Do you have any plans for your future? Let me see what you think first. After I finish my work here, I can take you to challenge the secret realm." Lu Ran asked.

Fang Lan ate while grumbling, "I'm planning to major in poison anyway, so I can just choose poison enhancement as my first beast control skill, so I can use it for a long time."

"Then when Xiaolan reaches level 10, I want a 'poison healing trait'."

"'Poison healing trait'? What is that?" Lu Bing raised his head and looked at the Holy Maiden of the Five Poison Sect, who he actually got to know and was quite easy to get along with.

If it was a teammate, it wouldn't be so scary.

Fang Lan smiled and said, "A trait that can transform one's own venom into a trait with the functions of 'healing' and 'detoxification'. It can be understood as a trait of fighting poison with poison."

"It and I often have to study poisons, and the most dangerous part of this is actually when we get poisoned ourselves. If we have the 'poison healing trait', the chances of getting into trouble will be much lower."

"Indeed." Lu Ran said, "Can the 'Poison Treatment Trait' be obtained in the Novice Secret Realm?"

Now that Fang Lan is in charge of a city full of poisons, he does need more powerful means of detoxification.

"Of course! It's dropped in the Abyss Difficulty Secret Realm 'Misty Wetlands'! I've looked into it!" Fang Lan looked at Lu Ran hopefully. If it weren't for Lu Ran, it might be difficult for her to obtain it by herself, and she would have to wait at least one or two months.

"Your secret realm... It sounds like even Mr. Ha wouldn't be easy to clear. It wouldn't be the kind of secret realm with poisonous gas everywhere, swamp environment, and lots of poisonous creatures, right?" Lu Ran's eyelids jumped.

He really couldn't guarantee that he and Mr. Ha could pass this secret realm.

This is no longer a question of combat effectiveness.

Every profession has its specialization.

Mr. Ha is still suitable for fighting those beasts, but not good at fighting complex environments. Entering a place full of poison, with Mr. Ha's IQ, he will die. Poison is something that is hard to defend against. Even if the race is of high level, it is easy to fail. The Demon Bull Commander is a good example! "Don't worry! By then, I will prepare anti-poison equipment, antidotes and so on. I have collected a lot of strategies for this secret realm." Fang Lan signaled Lu Ran to rest assured.

It seems that they had planned to enter the Misty Wetlands a long time ago and had started preparing for it a long time ago.

"Okay." With Fang Lan's words, Lu Ran still dared to enter this secret realm.

When they arrived at Lu Bing and Yang Zhu's place, their needs were very simple.

Since there are not many skill cards to choose from in the Novice Secret Realm, Lu Bing plans to choose an "Ice Enhanced Skill" to match the attributes of his own wolfhound, while the pig farmer will naturally choose the "Rock Enhanced Skill".

These skills can be dropped in the Novice Secret Realm.

"I prefer the 'Rock Devouring Trait'." The pig farmer said, "After integrating this trait, its diet is no longer limited to meat and vegetables. It can even eat rocks. As long as it eats rocks, it can steadily improve various attributes. It feels very convenient!"

"This way, if I get any rock resources in the future, I can sell them or feed them to it as food. The most important thing is that there are countless rock mountains in our country. Although the quality may not be good, the quantity is large. I think it is completely possible for the pet to grow by eating the rock!"

"No, now that the spiritual energy has revived, maybe some famous mountains will be born. Even if stones become extraordinary resources, there should be few extraordinary mutant beasts who care about them. When the time comes, the two of us can go to the mountains to pick up food..."

Pig farmers are obviously good at budgeting.

His words made Lu Bing chuckle and said, "Eating stones is fine. It seems that there are stones everywhere in various secret realms that no one wants. If I can fill my stomach and restore my strength with this, it can save a lot of money."

Fang Lan said regretfully: "I remember there is also a 'poison-eating trait', which can enhance one's own toxicity by eating poisonous substances. Unfortunately, it doesn't drop in the Novice Secret Realm."

Seeing that everyone had their own ideas, Lu Ran also fell into deep thought.

"Why, are you still struggling?" Fang Lan asked.

"yes."

"I remember that your first beast control skill is to strengthen your own physique, right?" Fang Lan suggested: "Then the second one can actually choose one that strengthens the pet."

"The official recommendations for Beastmaster skill selection are now all about balanced selection. This is also the experience summarized by the first three generations of Beastmasters."

Strengthening the pet's beast taming skills would consume too much of the beastmaster's physical energy. Beastmasters have a weakness to begin with, and if too much energy is wasted, it would be even more detrimental to exploration and combat.

Skills that enhance the power of a beastmaster are good, but they can easily make the beastmaster arrogant and put himself in danger. Even if the purpose of enhancing oneself is simply to gain better life-saving abilities and not join the battle, there are also disadvantages. It can easily make it impossible for a pet that has not been enhanced to suppress wild creatures in battle, resulting in defeat, forcing the beastmaster to be involved in the battle.

On the whole, the best option is to have a 50-50 split between the two types of beast taming skills, practicing to strengthen both the beast tamer's own beast taming skills and the pet's beast taming skills.

At that time, the former will provide the beastmaster with a certain physique and a certain self-preservation ability, and then cooperate with the beastmaster to strengthen the beastmaster's beastmaster skills. This will better enable the pet beast to gain stronger combat power and at the same time, the beastmaster will not be so weak.

“That being said… but if I have to choose, I would still like to choose a beast-taming skill that allows me to gain special abilities.” Lu Ran thought.

For example, there are beast taming skills that can leverage the power of pet beasts, and beast taming skills that can allow one to gain fire abilities.

He just thought about it and realized that if he wanted to major in the secondary profession of blacksmith, fire ability would be indispensable.

Either you yourself can use fire, or your pet can use fire. It is not enough for your pet to be able to use fire, you must also be able to make use of its fire. Only in this way can you go far in the profession of blacksmith and forge rare or even epic weapons for Mr. Ha in the future.

From this perspective, both of Brother Condor Hero's "Fusion" and "Trait Borrowing" seem to be good skills. Unfortunately, they are currently unavailable.

Lu Ran sighed slightly and decided to wait until he broke through the secret realm. As for the second characteristics of Mr. Ha and the King of Sudden Death, within the scope of the novice secret realm, he did not have any particularly good ideas for the time being and did not want to compromise.

“Forget it, let’s focus on earning crystal coins first.” Lu Ran said.

A few people nodded and started eating voraciously. It didn't matter what happened. After all, life was becoming more and more promising.

…

And so, three days later.

Because he found the right way to make money, Lu Ran’s efficiency in earning crystal coins has greatly improved.

After giving up the secret realm of flaming and thundering ruins, Lu Ran immediately chose the abyss difficulty secret realm "Lava Lake" to challenge.

The reason for choosing this is not because it can meet anyone's needs, but because this secret realm is said to be the one with the most valuable resources among the novice secret realms.

There are more fire creatures here, and they mainly drop 'fire resources', 'flame enhancement skills', and 'magma characteristic crystals'. You should know that fire materials are extremely expensive, because some secondary jobs require them, and currently they are even more expensive than lightning, light, and dark materials.

The same principle applies to flame enhancement. As for the magma-specific crystal, it can give the flame magma characteristics. It is known for its destructive power and is not cheap. This is the power of a volcano!

After challenging this secret realm for just three days, Lu Ran had harvested a lot of high-level materials, including rare resources. However, the annoying thing was that for some unknown reason, only two flame enhancement skills dropped in three days, and not a single lava-specific crystal dropped.

"Is it because you have bad luck?" Lu Ran looked at Lu Yi with the thunder mastiff with suspicion.

Because Fang Lan went to prepare for the challenge of the "Misty Wetland Secret Realm", Lu Ran's secret realm team temporarily pulled over Lu Yi, the captain of the Lujia Village team.

After Lu Yi came over, he was also very excited. He had been envious of Lu Bing's experience for a long time. Naturally, his strength was not bad either. The combat power of the mastiff was indeed strong, especially when combined with the thunder system. His strength was among the top three among the beastmasters in Lujia Village.

However, Lu Ran always felt that the three people with the surname Lu in a team seemed to be unlucky.

Lu Bing and the pig farmer also looked at Lu Yi with suspicion. You know, when Fang Lan was here, they were very lucky. They had Flaming and Thundering Ruins, skill cards, special crystals, and upgrade cards...

One of the flame enhancement skills was also unlocked when Fang Lan was present.

“Don’t kick me, don’t kick me. Give me another chance… Let me go back and wash my face first?” The tough guy Lu Yi shed tears.

He didn't feel how bad his luck was.

After challenging the secret realm again, several people withdrew. It was just a joke. After all, they knew that it would be abnormal if rare materials dropped every time. Now they can only say that they have returned to the normal rhythm, and they are still a little lucky.

After returning to his exclusive room, Lu Ran was in a good mood, because he now had three Beast Taming Skill Cards in his hand. With this, plus the crystal coins he got from selling a bunch of materials, his total property undoubtedly exceeded 50,000 crystal coins.

Actually, it was almost done a long time ago, but because he had to exchange some rare dog food for Mr. Ha, and asked Fang Lan to prepare rewards for the seven beast generals in Green Sea City, there were many places that required crystal coins. Therefore, Lu Ran did not repay the debt immediately after collecting enough money, for fear that he would not have enough funds on hand.

"By the way, isn't it time to settle the Divine Pet Ranking? If there are a lot of crystal coins, it's time to pay them back first."

Lu Ran suddenly remembered something. Calculating the time, it was almost time... It had been a month, it went by so fast.

The thought had just come to his mind.

A voice appeared in my mind.
