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, and which secret realm can get better training and be less dangerous. This is all high-level intelligence."

"Or, information on monsters and adventure strategies in a certain secret realm can also be considered high-level information. It's 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 some seniors with their lives."

Lu Ran nodded to express understanding, but...

"I need 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 do 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. How about this? I will 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, and Xiao Ling in front of me, are actually life-oriented beast masters."

"A life-style beast master is one whose main purpose is not to challenge or conquer secret realms, nor to improve his own beast master's strength."

"If a beast master wants to improve himself, the crudest way is to enter the secret realm to practice. But 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 beast masters."

"Then, you can purchase resources through crystal coins to upgrade your level, and then hire a combat-type beastmaster 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 want to do such dangerous things. It's good now. Even the most ordinary life-oriented beast master can bring benefits. It’s also something that the elites outside can’t even imagine.” 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 thought Understand, Lu Ran shouldn't need to make suggestions himself, he will definitely make the choice himself.

"Well, the basics are what Mr. Xiao Bailong said. I also work here because I don't like fighting." The cat-eared maid Xiao Ling smiled and said: "I am quite satisfied with the work here. The store The seniors there took good care of me and gave me a lot of work and training 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 nutritious 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 suggestions when the time comes." After Xiaobailong learned about Lu Ran's potential, he became more and more interested in it. Heart, 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 a burning gaze and said, "Xiao Lu, how high is your score?"

"If the score is very high, whether you join an official organization or a major guild, you can get good training. If you have this idea, I can help you recommend it."

Lu Ran grinned and said, "It's not very high. It's not as good as that pig farmer. Joining a force or something... I don't have any ideas now. I want to learn more about it first."

Xiao Bailong was speechless. You are really stubborn.

"The current group of beastmasters can be roughly divided into four groups, namely the first generation of beastmasters three years ago, the second generation of beastmasters two years ago, the third generation of beastmasters one year ago, and our fourth generation of beastmasters."

"Among the first generation of beastmasters in Xia Country, there are only 13 active on the front line, all of whom are in high positions in the Donghuang Alliance."

"And the second and third generation beastmasters are more active at present. Whether it is the founder of this cat ear maid cafe or the president of the Medicine Pavilion Guild, they are all second generation beastmasters. These people are also the backbone of the current beastmasters in Xia Country."

"Although the beastmaster organizations such as the Cat Ear Maid Cafe and the Medicine Pavilion were established by individuals, they are actually also part of the Xia Country Donghuang Beastmaster Alliance. They just do not directly accept orders from their superiors and are only supervised. . "

"It can be understood as the difference between a pure official beast tamer and a semi-official beast tamer." Xiao Bailong said: "I am a pure official beast tamer, and Xiao Ling is a semi-official beast tamer. In fact, in the end, there is no such thing as a completely free man."

"If you want a stable job and want to get a regular job, just like me, join the official. If you want more freedom, you can join major guilds and chambers of commerce. You can understand it as an employee working in a company, and these companies are also one of the constituent members of the Donghuang Alliance."

"The Donghuang Alliance is the largest beast tamer group in Xia Country, which is composed of official institutions and major guilds."

Although it is inevitable to pull Lu Ran to his side, the bonus is inevitable, but the little white dragon in the waves does not like to fool others, but explains the difference to Lu Ran.

In his traditional concept, most people must still believe in stable jobs!

After all, the end of the universe is the regular job.

"These are probably the two choices. After all, if you want to play the secret realm dungeon in the future, you almost have to form a team. No one dares to form a wild team because it is unreliable. If you want to find a reliable team, it is either the official strategy team or the guild team."

"Can't you play it alone?" Lu Ran asked.

"Play it alone..." Xiao Bailong had a stomachache. He was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.

"Why do you think there are only so few people left in the first generation of beastmasters now?"

"Except for those who gave up their identity as beastmasters and transformed into life-style beastmasters, most of them... died in the secret realm."

"This is still, in the case of team formation, there are very few beastmasters who can play it alone. No, it can be said that there are none."

Lu Ran pondered. In fact, he still preferred to play it alone. After all, he had the divine deer pendant, and he didn't want to expose the pendant.

This was the reason why he hesitated in the face of Xiao Bailong's various invitations.

If he joined the official or guild, he would definitely be unable to control himself. Just in case!

Instead of having troubles at that time, it is better to play it alone from the beginning.

So, is it possible that the efficiency of using the Deer Pendant to play alone is higher than that of playing with others?

If possible, be a lone ranger in the early stage.

When the advantage brought by the Deer Pendant is not so great, and the secret dungeon in the later stage is more difficult, it is not bad to consider joining the organization. At that time, he will have a certain strength. No, at this time, maybe he can pull up a team of his own or even a guild, and only find people he can trust!

"What are you talking about." At this time, Xiao Ling came out again and said, "I have contacted the people in the medicine pavilion, and they will send someone over immediately."

Lu Ran looked at Xiao Bailong and said, "I still need to think about it, thank you."

"Consider it seriously." Xiao Bailong nodded.

"What did the medicine pavilion say?" Then he asked Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling said, "The other party will take the wind fruit in exchange. In addition, I have obtained an extra 700 crystal coins for Passerby A."

"Thank you." Lu Ran said.

"You're welcome." Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Just come to my place to spend more in the future."

As an intern... She urgently needs a large number of good reviews to complete the regularization!

"Okay... By the way, give me a cup of this." At this time, Lu Ran pointed to the "Ming Shen Tea" on the menu and said.

A pot of tea, 50 crystal coins, the same value as the information just now, is the cheapest drink here.

Ming Shen Tea, produced in the Level 2 Secret Realm Wangfeng Canyon, is a secret realm that trainee beastmasters cannot go to.

Lu Ran mainly saw the effect of tea, which can relieve fatigue, clear the mind, and remove some minor physical problems.

Although he was strengthened and his physique was improved a lot, he ran around in the secret realm without sleep for a day, and now he can't hold on.

I hope this cup of tea can make him hold on a little longer.

In addition, the school's quasi-senior remedial classes have been very busy recently, and he hasn't slept well for a long time.

"Okay." Xiao Ling heard the words and immediately went to prepare tea.

"Luxury, but it's good for young people to enjoy it." The little white dragon in the waves said.

"I'll treat you, you should drink a few cups too." Lu Ran said.

"I'm waiting for you to say this." The little white dragon laughed.

Lu Ran shrugged and said, this is for the purpose of rejecting you later.

Soon, a pot of tea was boiled up, and Lu Ran immediately poured a cup for Langli Xiaobailong to thank him for his help.

As for Xiao Ling, as an employee, there is a rule that she cannot accept customers' invitations in the store.

The two drank tea while waiting for the people from the Medicine Pavilion Guild. As Xiao Ling said, the other party's people were very fast. After a while, only a cry was heard outside, and a young man wearing a pharmacist robe and riding an eagle arrived outside the maid cafe.
