Chapter 349: Chapter 200 Top Information Dealer_1

"I’m not joking with you."

"Isn’t there a more reliable method?" Lu Ran asked.

"Hmph..." Manager Ying looked at Lu Ran with dissatisfaction. "Do you think I’m an omnipotent god or something?"

"Aren’t you?" Lu Ran countered.

"Uh..."

Manager Ying was taken aback and ran her cat paw across her cheek, showing a bashful expression, "Ah, you caught me."

Lu Ran: ?

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you," Manager Ying shook her head. "When it comes to the deep sea, I really don’t have any good solutions."

"However, I could sell you a piece of information."

"Letting you know how your old turtle is faring after reaching the deep sea."

"If it’s doing well, you don’t need to be in such a rush."

"If not, then you can hurry, hurry, hurry, okay?"

"You can sell that too?" Lu Ran was surprised. "Don’t tell me your Neko Maid Cafe has opened up in the Fishman Empire."

"How could that be possible." Manager Ying rolled her eyes. "But I can use one of my skills to get that information for you."

"Have you heard of..."

"Future Predicting?"

Lu Ran was taken aback.

Damn, I almost forgot, this cat has mastery over time attribute powers.

It seems that she really can use time attribute to make predictions.

Back in Jinling, when we were looking for the Necromancer, it was thanks to this cat’s ability.

And Lu Ran had actually forgotten about it.

Unlike Zhu Kaixin, the Pig God, who had an amateurish level, Manager Ying could actually utilize time attribute powers in real combat!

"You really are a deity!" Lu Ran exclaimed in surprise. What true top-notch Information Dealer, to be able to create information out of nothing.

"Tsk." Manager Ying spoke:

"However, my Future Predicting has four taboos."

"1. I don’t predict the future of beings that are too strong."

"2. I don’t predict the future of beings with too much potential."

"3. I don’t predict futures that are too distant."

"4. Every time I use Future Predicting, I must have sufficient compensation; I can’t be taken advantage of."

She frowned as she looked at Lu Ran. "Your old turtle isn’t strong, so it meets the first condition."

"For the second one, it hasn’t quite reached my standard for immense potential..."

Though the old turtle has decent potential, after the revival of spiritual energy it has only become a high-level extraordinary being. To really worry Manager Ying, it would at least need to be of the Innate King Species’ future.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

Like Lu Ran’s dog, lizard, and crow; after his nurturing, their potential became unpredictable and immense, making Manager Ying reluctant to predict their futures lightly.

Predicting them could easily lead to backlash against herself.

But for that old turtle, in the short term, there shouldn’t be any issues.

"Regarding the third one, I’ll only predict the outcome for your old turtle six months from now."

"If it’s doing fine after half a year, then you can rest assured for this period," Manager Ying assured. "How about that, can you accept it? If you can, let’s talk about the fourth condition. After all, using Future Predicting once consumes a great deal."

"You want something for nothing, that’s impossible."

Lu Ran looked at her and asked, "What do you want..."

"Come up with some information that will satisfy me," Manager Ying said with a lack of interest, feeling like Lu Ran wouldn’t be able to provide anything worthwhile.

Good things Lu Ran needed to keep for himself, so the only thing that could attract her was information.

As for the value of the information Lu Ran would provide, that wasn’t important; after all, one way or another, she had to help Lu Ran.

The main point was, she wanted to cultivate Lu Ran’s good character of not exploiting labor without compensation.

"Alright..." Lu Ran’s head ached with the thought of information.

What information could he still have?

But soon, Lu Ran’s eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, "Manager Ying."

"Didn’t you also use your predictive abilities in the past to search for ’Sleeping Ancient Life Forms’?"

"Right, what about it?" Manager Ying didn’t understand what Lu Ran was getting at.

"Now that beings like the Fishman King have awakened, it means that with the acceleration of the revival of spiritual energy, other ancient life forms are probably also about to awaken," Lu Ran said.

"But as we figured, there must be a number of ancient life forms in a dying or weakened state, unable to return to their peak, right?"

"Initially, we thought, huh... to make things clear to them, see if they are willing to become undead pet beasts and live another life!"

Manager Ying nodded.

"But such a condition is sure to be unacceptable to many pet beasts; why not give them more options!" Lu Ran said. "What if I have a way to let them pass on and propagate their own bloodline in their last moments?"

"Huh?" Manager Ying was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Lu Ran said, "In the Legendary Secret Realm I just came from, I obtained such a resource..."

Immediately after, Lu Ran began to explain the capabilities of the Blood Crystal to Manager Ying.

"When you encounter powerful ancient beings, you can completely sell this information to them."

This way, not only would it be advertising Lu Ran’s Blood Crystal, but Manager Ying could also use the Blood Crystal’s information to make a profit from ancient beings.

"Damn," Manager Ying’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. "You stumbled upon such a thing, huh."

"Is this piece of information valuable enough?" Lu Ran quickly asked.

Manager Ying thought it over and said, "The question of how powerful beings can successfully reproduce their offspring is indeed a difficult one; if it were in ancient times it would be fine, with abundant spiritual energy and the flourishing of species, but now, most beings have probably become the only one of their kind. To find a similar species for reproduction, the difficulty has risen again given that reproductive isolation is hard to overcome."

"This Blood Crystal of yours... will indeed drive some powerful beings mad, even those of the Overlord Clan."

"Okay, this information is valuable enough." Manager Ying indeed saw a business opportunity in this information!

Lu Ran cautiously asked, "By the way, Manager Ying, you don’t have any interest in the Blood Crystal yourself?"

"???"

Manager Ying replied angrily, "I’m only eighteen years old."

Lu Ran: ???

An eighteen-year-old cat was already considered mature, after all.

And you’re 18 years old???

So the years spent in deep slumber don’t count towards your age, huh.

"Predict the future, let’s talk about it when I get back to Xia Country!"

"I’m going to Qingwu Lake for the premonition."

...

After negotiating with Manager Ying, Lu Ran set out on his life-and-death journey back to Xia Country.

Lu Ran was initially quite worried that his return might be fraught with danger, but it turned out that he had been overly concerned.

Even if there were people who wished him harm, now was certainly not the best time.

After all, this might be the time when Xia Country was providing Lu Ran with the highest level of protection.

Some time later, Lu Ran successfully returned to Green Sea City.

After arriving back in Green Sea City, Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that nothing untoward had occurred.

He had boasted about surviving up to Level 60 in Infinite City, but without the internet, he would die.

"Let’s go."

Since arriving here, Lu Ran’s only bodyguard was Manager Ying, the cat, but Lu Ran didn’t have any objections to this.

After all, having a Time Attribute big shot who can predict the future as your bodyguard beats having a bicycle any day.

Although Manager Ying didn’t look reliable, in truth, they were probably much more dependable than Principal Shi Zhen and Pig Brother.

Thump...

Thump...

Upon arriving at Qingwu Lake, the successor of Marshall Xuan Turtle, the King of Carp in the lake, sadly welcomed the great Green Sea King’s return.

Being very powerful and intelligent, it had witnessed Marshall Xuan Turtle being taken away without a return, and had already guessed that something bad had probably happened to him.

With Lu Ran’s arrival, its suspicions were confirmed.

"Wuu wuu wuu, Master, Master————" The King of Carp cried sorrowfully in the waters of the lake, a few days of instruction had made it hold Marshall Xuan Turtle in high esteem, both as a teacher and a father.

"Cry for what?" Manager Ying watched the fish in silence.

Lu Ran also consoled, "Great General Carp, don’t worry, Marshall Xuan Turtle may not be finished."

"He has just been captured by a monster."

"There’s probably no danger to his life."

"You work hard to become stronger and train your abilities. Once you succeed in transforming into a dragon, there should still be hope of rescuing Marshall Xuan Turtle."

"Go on, go and train hard."

With Lu Ran’s consolation, the Great General Carp’s eyes filled with fighting spirit, and it turned away to leave.

Manager Ying’s lips twitched; it seems there isn’t a single normal extraordinary being in Green Sea City.

In just a small lake, Lu Ran had somehow found two hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

An act was unfolding, themed around "Train hard to rescue the master."

"Whew..."

With no more troublesome folks to interrupt, Manager Ying’s psychic power covered the entire Qingwu Lake, searching for anything related to the old turtle...

In just a short while, it fished out the old turtle’s shell that had been left in the water when it was replaced.

Holding the shell, Manager Ying said, "I’m starting now."

As it spoke, regardless of Lu Ran’s reaction, its eyes slightly closed and at the same time, the shell in front of it was enveloped by psychic power.

"Let’s watch together."

During the premonition, it extended its cat paw; seeing this, Lu Ran too reached out and grabbed it.

The next instant.

Lu Ran felt the world spin around him as if entering some kind of domain, an expanse of darkness surrounding him.

This pitch-dark space, like the big screen of a movie theater, gradually lit up from the darkness.

Gurgling sounds of bubble formation emerged.

Soon, the pitch-dark space turned a deep blue, with the scene of an ocean floor displayed before Lu Ran’s eyes. It was as if he was watching a 3D blockbuster, exceptionally novel.

"Locked on..."

"That’s good, that’s good, in the future where you don’t go looking for him, your Marshall Xuan Turtle should be safe and unharmed..."

The cat commented, as the image became clearer.

In the deep sea, a giant turtle with a body tens of meters long and wide, carrying a huge stele on its back, with a body in deep blue and a vibrant red head, was followed by tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, fighting against deep sea sharks.

The spectacle was immensely magnificent; the deep sea was in constant turmoil, and the energy fluctuations emanating from Marshall Xuan Turtle swept across the battlefield like a marine hurricane. Disregarding its Species Level, and looking only at its Growth Level, it might even overpower the current King of Sudden Death and the like.

"This..." Lu Ran was astonished.

"Manager Ying, is this accurate??"

Faced with this scenario, Lu Ran was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this turtle talking about retiring???

How had it gone deep sea and become the boss of tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals???

And it seemed to have evolved?

What was with that stele.

It looked like one he had made, but it had undergone some changes; it seemed the stele had been upgraded as well. What had it been through.

The futures predicted were fleeting like bursting bubbles, and Manager Ying’s doppelganger was so tired that he was panting heavily, saying, "My prediction is based on certain preconditions, if you don’t go influencing the future, it will most likely turn out like this... "

"I told you it would be fine."

"Seems like it’s doing better than in your poor Green Sea."

"Maybe your small business was limiting its potential."

Lu Ran was taken aback, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, Xuan Turtle must have been compelled, although the future shows it to be brave, but I know it too well. It must have been waiting for me to come and get it so it could retire peacefully..."

"So what do we do next?" Manager Ying asked disdainfully.

Lu Ran coughed and said, "Since it’s fine, let it be a great general in the deep sea for now. This incident has also served as a warning that without sufficient strength, one cannot retire peacefully... "

"After experiencing this, whether it wants to retire in Green Sea or directly in the deep sea, it will at least have the strength to ensure its safety. This experience... taking advantage of the Fishman Empire’s resources for training and growth, isn’t a bad deal."

"A few months from now, when I am capable of going into the sea, I will go looking for it!..."

Old Turtle, it’s not that I don’t want to find you, but going now would be tantamount to delivering my own head on a platter... Lu Ran sighed, hoping you are safe and sound in the deep sea, wait for me!
