King of Beasts Chapter 14: The Lone Ranger
"A good one must have a five-star rating." Lu Ran chuckled.
I didn’t expect the second largest intelligence agency to be so down-to-earth.
"So, do you need any more information? For a newcomer like you, I highly recommend exchanging some advanced cultivation information." Xiao Ling's cat ears twitched, making Lu Ran startled.
"What does advanced cultivation intelligence mean?" Lu Ran asked.
"Well, for example, to cultivate your pet beast, what cultivation resources are needed, which secret realm can obtain such resources, which secret realm can get better training and is less dangerous, this is all high-level intelligence."
"Or, information about monsters and adventure strategies in a certain secret realm can also be considered advanced intelligence. It is very suitable for a newcomer like you."
"Of course, the most important thing...the best evolutionary route! But this is more advanced intelligence."
Lu Ran looked at Xiao Bailong.
Xiao Bailong touched his chin, nodded and said: "After joining the official, basic information can be obtained for free, but advanced information still has to pay some price."
Xiao Ling said: "After all, a lot of information was obtained by seniors who sacrificed their lives."
Lu Ran nodded to express understanding, but...
"I want to think about it first." Lu Ran said.
"No rush! Then I'll contact the people at the Medicine Pavilion first." Xiao Ling said.
"Okay. Wait, I really need some information." Lu Ran suddenly remembered something and almost forgot it!
"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Ling was curious.
"If I want to buy weapons, armor and other equipment, or purchase materials to customize and forge a weapon, where is the best place to go?" Lu Ran asked.
"This information is a bit too simple." Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said: "You can ask Mr. Xiao Bailong next to you. Well, let me recommend you a place with a good reputation in Infinite City for free. ."
"Coordinates 8766 and 1273. The owner of this forging house is the top forger among the three generations of beast masters. The asking price is only within the normal range. Whether you are buying equipment or forging weapons, you can choose here."
Lu Ran wrote down the coordinates, but soon he asked doubtfully: "Speaking of the lifestyle beast master, what is the specific situation..."
He probably has some idea, but he still needs to confirm it.
"Uh, didn't I tell you?" Next to him, Xiao Bailong spoke first, touching his chin and said:
"I, as well as Xiao Ling in front of me, are actually life-oriented beast masters."
“A lifestyle-based beast master is one whose main purpose is not to challenge or conquer secret realms, nor to improve his or her own beast-control strength.”
"The roughest way for a beast master to improve himself is to enter the secret realm to practice. However, you have also experienced the novice secret realm and know that it is very dangerous. Most people only experience it once and decide never to enter again."
"So, they will learn some special skills, such as cooking, forging, and medicine, to earn crystal coins for combat beastmasters."
"Then, you can purchase resources through crystal coins to improve your level, and then hire a combat beast master to protect you into the secret breakthrough realm. This way you can steadily improve your level. In short, they are two different options."
"Has Mr. Xiao Bailong given up on becoming a combat beast master?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yes, I have a wife and children. After thinking about it carefully, I still don't do such dangerous things. It's good now. Even the most ordinary life-oriented beast master has brought The benefits are beyond the imagination of the elites outside." Xiao Bailong smiled.
"Originally, if you were to ask, I would have recommended you to become a lifestyle animal master. Such guys are often the most successful, but now..." Thinking that Lu Ran and a husky were rated at least D-level, Xiao Bailong understood that Lu Ran shouldn't need to make his own suggestions, he would definitely make the choice himself.
"Well, the basics are what Mr. Xiaobailong said. I also come here to work because I don't like fighting." The cat-eared maid Xiao Ling smiled and said: "I am quite satisfied with the work here. Yes, the seniors in the store took good care of me and gave me a lot of work and exercise opportunities."
"Look, I can manage such a big place by myself as an intern!" Xiao Ling's eyes were bright. After all, this is a very famous intelligence center in Infinite City!
Lu Ran: "..."
Are you sure this isn't them trying to squeeze you into working overtime?
The owner of this coffee shop is so evil, exploiting the interns like this.
Life-style animal master...
Lu Ran pondered in his heart, feeling that there was no conflict with the combat-type beast master.
If a beast master can customize nutritional meals for his pet beasts and build equipment for his pet beasts, he will definitely be able to cultivate his pet beasts better, but in the final analysis, it is still a matter of energy and talent.
"Xiaolu, if you need to buy weapons, let me take you there! I'm familiar with the roads in Infinite City, and I can give you some advice when the time comes." Xiao Bailong learned about Lu Ran's potential. , becoming more and more interested, after all, Lu Ran is a mobile bonus!
"Well...I'm not planning to go there now. I'll go by myself later." Lu Ran said, not wanting to trouble the other party too much.
"Okay." Xiao Bailong was helpless.
"You guys chat, I'll be back soon." The cat-eared maid Xiao Ling also said at this time.
"But before that, let's add a friend first."
Lu Ran nodded again and added the other party to his address book.
After that, Xiao Ling signaled Lu Ran and Xiao Bailong to rest first, while she went to contact the Medicine Pavilion Guild through the exclusive channel of the maid shop.
At the same time, Xiao Bailong looked at Lu Ran again with burning eyes and said, "Classmate Xiaolu, how high is your rating?"
"If you have a high score, you can get generous training whether you join an official organization or a major guild. If you have ideas in this regard, I can help you make recommendations."
Lu Ran grinned and said: "It's not that high. It's not as good as that pig farmer, joining forces or something... I don't have any ideas yet, I want to know more about it first."
Xiao Bailong is speechless, you are so insufferable.
“The current group of beast masters can be roughly divided into four groups, namely the first generation of beast masters three years ago, the second generation of beast masters two years ago, and the third generation of beast masters a year ago. We have four generations of beast masters."
"Among the first generation of beast masters of the Xia Kingdom, there are only 13 left who are currently active on the front line, and they all hold high positions in the Donghuang Alliance."
"There are more second- and third-generation beast masters currently active. Whether it is the founder of the Cat-Ear Maid Cafe or the president of the Medicine Pavilion Guild, they are all second-generation beast masters. These Human beings are also the mainstay of the current Xia Kingdom’s beast masters.”
"Although the beast control organizations such as the Cat's Ear Maid Cafe and the Medicine Pavilion were established by individuals, they are actually part of the Xia Kingdom Donghuang Beast Control Alliance. They just do not directly accept orders from superiors and are only subject to supervision."
"It can be understood as the difference between a pure official beast master and a semi-official beast master." Xiao Bailong said: "I am a pure official beast master, and people like Xiaoling are semi-official beast masters." Teacher, in fact, in the end, there is no such thing as a completely free person."
"If you want an iron job and want to join the establishment, just like me, join the officialdom. If you want to be more free, you can join major guilds and chambers of commerce. You can think of it as employees who go to work in the company. These companies are also one of the member forces of the Donghuang Alliance."
"Donghuang Alliance is the largest beast-controlling group in Xia Kingdom composed of official organizations and major guilds."
Although getting Lu Ran to his side would mean a bonus, Langli Xiaobailong didn't like to fool others, so he explained the difference clearly to Lu Ran.
In his traditional concept, most people definitely still believe in the iron rice bowl!
After all, the end of the universe is the establishment.
"Probably these are the two choices. After all, if you want to play the secret realm dungeon in the future, you will almost have to form a team. No one dares to form a wild team if it is unreliable. If you want to find a reliable team, it is either an official strategy team or a guild team. Team."
"Can't you do it alone?" Lu Ran asked.
"Single brush..." The little white dragon has a stomachache, but a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"Why do you think there are only so few of the first generation of beastmasters left?"
"Except for those who gave up their status as beast masters and transformed into lifestyle beast masters, most of them...died in the secret realm."
"This is still true. In a team situation, there are very few beast masters who can master it alone. No, it can be said that there are none."
Lu Ran pondered. In fact, he preferred to do it alone. After all, he had a sacred deer pendant, and he didn't want to expose the pendant.
This is the reason why he has been hesitant in facing various invitations from Xiao Bailong.
If you join the official or join a guild, there will definitely be situations where you can’t help yourself, just in case!
Instead of having trouble later, it is better to just do it alone from the beginning.
So, if I use the Divine Deer Pendant to farm alone, is it possible to be more efficient than teaming up with others?
If possible, be a lone ranger in the early stage.
It would be good to wait until the advantages brought by the Divine Deer Pendant are not so great, and the later secret realm dungeons are more difficult, and then consider joining the organization. By then, I will have a certain strength. No, at this time, maybe he can raise a team of his own or even a guild, and only find people he can trust!
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Xiaoling came out again and said: "I have contacted the people at the Medicine Pavilion, and someone will be sent over there immediately."
Lu Ran looked at Xiao Bailong and said, "I still want to think about it, thank you."
"Consider it seriously." Xiao Bailong nodded.
"What did the Medicine Pavilion say?" Then he asked Xiang Xiaoling.
Xiao Ling said: "The other party will give wind fruits in exchange. In addition, I won an additional 700 crystal coins for passerby A."
"Thank you." Lu Ran said.
"You're welcome. ~IndoMTL.com~ Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Just come to my place to spend more money in the future. ”
As an intern... she urgently needs a large number of positive orders to complete her regular job!
"Okay... By the way, give me a cup of this." At this time, Lu Ran pointed to the "Mingshen Tea" on the menu and said.
A pot of tea costs 50 crystal coins, which is the same value as the information just now. It is the cheapest drink here.
Mingshen tea is produced in the second-level secret realm Wangfeng Canyon, which is a secret realm that trainee beast masters cannot go to.
Lu Ran was mainly interested in the efficacy of tea, which could relieve fatigue, clear the mind, and remove some minor ailments of the body.
Although he has been strengthened and his physique has improved a lot, he has been running around in the secret realm without sleeping for a day, and now he can't hold on anymore.
I hope this cup of tea can make him persist a little longer.
In addition, the school's recent supplementary classes for senior high school students have also been very busy, and he has not slept well for a long time.
"Okay." Xiaoling heard this and immediately went to prepare tea.
"Luxury, but it's good for young people to enjoy it." Langli Xiaobailong said.
"I'll treat you to a few drinks." Lu Ran said.
"That's what I've been waiting for." Xiao Bailong laughed.
Lu Ran shrugged, this is to reject you later.
Soon, a pot of tea was boiled, and Lu Ran immediately poured a cup for Langli Xiaobailong as a thank you for his help.
As for Xiaoling, as an employee, there are regulations that prohibit you from accepting treats from customers in the store.
The two of them drank tea while waiting for the people from the Medicine Pavilion Guild. Just as Xiao Ling said, the other party was very fast. After a while, a cry was heard outside, and a young man wearing a pharmacist's robe and riding an eagle arrived outside the maid coffee shop.
