Chapter 350: Chapter 201 - Forming a Power_1

Knowing that the Xuan Turtle was fine and could even grow stronger with the resources of the Fishman Empire in the deep sea, Lu Ran was relieved.

The only worry was whether the Xuan Turtle would betray them when the time came.

With no regard for the Green Sea King anymore, only recognizing the Fishman King.

However, Lu Ran could accept this point. As long as the Xuan Turtle was safe, it didn’t matter where it was.

As the Green Sea King, his main approach was to respect the wishes of his subordinates. As long as they weren’t his enemies, there wouldn’t be a problem.

In the future, once he was strong enough to seek out the Xuan Turtle, if it wanted to return for retirement, he would bring it back.

If it didn’t wish to come back, then so be it. Considering their old acquaintance, he could even provide the Xuan Turtle with more resources to facilitate a better life in the Fishman Empire.

Climbing up the ranks under the Fishman King, above ten thousand other fish, step by step, all the way to the top... becoming a turtle prime minister with power over court and country, Lu Ran could support that.

Having a familiar beast in the sea would also make things more convenient.

But based on Lu Ran’s understanding of the Xuan Turtle, it would definitely prefer a peaceful life.

Being forced into becoming a great general of the empire was probably due to various reasons, an act of compulsion.

"Ah, what a sin."

"It’s like I’ve planted an undercover agent within the Fishman Empire..." Lu Ran shook his head.

"Don’t play the ingénue when you’ve already gotten a bargain," Manager Ying said. "Having a marine empire rear a general for you, what more could you ask for..."

"That’s not what I meant..." Lu Ran said. "By the way, how is Lu Family Village doing?"

Lu Ran’s thoughts then turned to the conditions in Lu Family Village.

The incident with the Xuan Turtle made Lu Ran realize that his own strength was still too weak.

Not only was it personal combat strength that was weak.

His power base was weak as well.

This time, the Fishman Empire only coveted the potential of the Xuan Turtle, wanting to poach it.

But if an enemy targeted people or beasts close to him in the future... Lu Ran wasn’t a god; he couldn’t take care of everything thoroughly.

Just like this time when Manager Ying went out with him, leaving an opening for the Fishman Empire to exploit.

But if the Crow Army had already formed combat capabilities at this time, with thousands of crows gathering to execute army formation skills, even without the Dark Crow’s presence, a small fishman wouldn’t stir up any trouble.

Strengthening his forces was a matter of urgency.

"It’s not bad," Manager Ying nodded.

After some time of development, Lu Family Village had risen rapidly.

There were now 9 first-level Beast Trainers.

And 241 Trainee Beast Trainers.

Among them, three teams of Trainee Beast Trainers were already capable of taking on the Abyss Difficulty in the Novice Secret Realm as a team. Those who could challenge the Difficulty Secret Realm were even more numerous; virtually the remaining members could do so.

Even some large guilds lacked such a foundation of new members.

To achieve this, the resources invested by Lu Ran alone were definitely not enough.

A significant reason for this was because Lu Family Village was a "joint effort" between Lu Ran and Manager Ying.

Many special pieces of intelligence from Neko Maid Cafe were made available to Lu Family Village for free.

With these experiences from predecessors and methods for conquering Secret Realms, Lu Family Village could rise rapidly.

"Indeed, not bad," Lu Ran murmured.

Relying solely on new forces, this kind of strength wouldn’t fall too far behind the established guilds.

Of course, besides intelligence and resources, the main reason was that the people of Lu Family Village were genuinely talented.

Most of them were born hunters.

Such people becoming Beast Trainers was no doubt a perfect fit.

Without talent, resources could not be transformed into strength.

However, more than their might, Lu Ran cared about their faith. Only by gathering enough power of faith could he find the Divine Deer.

Of course, strength was also important, because the stronger they were, the more power of faith they could provide with the same devotion.

"I’ll contact those nine first-level Beast Trainers in a bit; they shouldn’t have formed a contract with a second Pet Beast yet," Lu Ran said.

"It’s time to establish the planned Water Dragon Team."

"The Abyss Difficulty of Secret Realm is not their end goal; they should be chasing after the Legendary Secret Realm!"

"Dunno, you should contact them yourself," Manager Ying said. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going..."

"Hey, wait!" Lu Ran quickly stopped her.

"If there’s any information from the necro system side, remember to contact me."

Lu Family Village, Green Sea... and the upcoming Necromancy Department.

These three might be among the few forces directly under Lu Ran, which he planned to cultivate right away.

Lu Family Village was responsible for the Infinite City conquest.

Ordinary villagers would handle the simple to Abyss Difficulty dungeons, harvesting ordinary resources.

The Water Dragon Team would tackle Legendary Difficulty dungeons to acquire legendary resources.

As for the generals of the Green Sea, they would take care of Blue Star matters.

Reserved for future expansion and exploration of unknown territories.

And as for the Necromancy Department...

Lu Ran felt it could be merged with Lu Family Village.

If a Pet Beast of a Lu Family Village Beast Trainer died in battle, they could directly switch jobs and become Necromancers.

In this case, all Pet Beasts would have two lives. Who could compete with them?

The foundational advantage of Lu Family Village would grow like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

Of course, beyond that, many powerful Beast Trainers of Xia Country would surely depend on the necro system after their Pet Beasts died.

Depending on the necro system meant depending on him.

With interests bound together, loyalty could be assured. Through these powerful individuals, it seemed he could quickly amass a large force of high-end combatants.

However, those who had survived to this day, the First, Second, and Third Generations, were all extremely cautious.

Ever since Gu Qingyi obtained a large number of Resurrection Cards, besides not being able to control the necro system very well, the main reason she hadn’t established the Necromancy Department was the lack of Pet Beasts of exceptional potential Beast Trainers who had died.
