Chapter 351: Chapter 201 - Forming a Power_2

Resurrection Cards had no place to be used.

In the fourth generation of Beast Trainers, the death of Pet Beasts was a common occurrence, but the Resurrection Cards were limited in number.

Unless it was a fourth generation with astonishing talents, no one was willing to do charity by casually handing out the scarce Skill Cards to mediocrities.

Of course, there were also some significant conditions to become a Necromancer.

That is, the candidate must still have the chance to learn Beast Training Techniques; if there was no skill slot available, that would be a pity.

Furthermore, the Pet Beasts’ corpses needed to be intact, with the death not too long ago.

Generally, the souls of Pet Beasts would remain in the bodies for 3 to 7 days after death.

During this period, they could be revived using the Resurrection Skill.

If it went beyond this time frame, even the Skill Cards couldn’t bring them back.

Naturally, if the Pet Beast’s soul was directly slain, such as being killed by Mr. Husky’s Soul-Slashing Sword Intent, or if the physical body was obliterated without a trace, turned into nothingness, it most likely could not be revived either.

All these conditions combined undeniably posed a stringent challenge and were not something that could be achieved casually.

"I understand," Manager Ying nodded after listening.

"Speaking of this, I’ve just remembered something."

Manager Ying said, "Did you see last night’s news?"

"What about it?"

"Look."

Lu Ran curled his lip, took out his phone, and began to browse.

"Search for ’Four Saints Gang’ as the keyword."

Lu Ran "hmm?" and then started the search.

After a moment, Lu Ran’s expression turned stunned.

"Four Saints Gang Leader ’Bai Qi’ Encounters Space Attribute Public BOSS, Four Pet Beasts Killed in Battle!"

"Could One of Infinite City’s Top Four Guilds—the ’Four Saints Gang’—Be on the Brink of Collapse?!"

"A Review of Second Generation Beast Trainer Bai Qi’s Glorious Achievements and His Five Battle Pet Beasts..."

"What happened?" Lu Ran delved deeper into the news.

It turned out that the Four Saints Gang’s guild squad was gathering materials in a Public Secret Realm when suddenly a level 52 Space Attribute BOSS appeared.

Although the team consisted of five members, their strongest, the team leader Bai Qi, who was only a level four Beast Trainer himself, didn’t have a single Pet Beast above level 50.

Needless to say, the fate of this small team against a Monarch Race’s Space Attribute BOSS was predictable.

In the end, in order to survive, the leader of the Four Saints Gang, Bai Qi, fought with all his might, using the death of his four Pet Beasts as the price to temporarily repel the BOSS and break free from the spatial constraints, allowing the entire team to teleport and escape.

Apart from Bai Qi, other elite guild members’ Pet Beasts were also killed in battle, but these individuals did not have as much fame as Bai Qi and were not mentioned much.

"That’s some bad luck..." Lu Ran shook his head.

Encountering a randomly refreshed Public BOSS, it was hard to say whether it was good or bad luck.

"What are you implying?"

"This ’Bai Qi’ of the Four Saints Gang should meet the preliminary conditions to become a Necromancer. According to my information, he has only trained and developed three Beast Training Techniques, focusing on specialization."

"The other few are unfortunate, with a fully occupied and diverse skill set."

"However, I don’t know if Gu Qingyi will contact him, considering the Four Saints Gang doesn’t belong to the Official Guide Group and is considered a civilian guild. Also, there are some issues with the guild’s founding history..."

"You mean, I should find him?" Lu Ran asked in confusion.

Manager Ying’s lips curled up, saying, "Aren’t you in desperate need of your own exclusive strength? Although Bai Qi’s family background is not clean, it’s not largely his fault, since it was his parents’ generation that caused it."

"Moreover, they’ve managed to clean up their act in time."

"Besides, Bai Qi himself seems to be a decent person; he had the opportunity to use the guild members as bait to escape, but he chose to face the BOSS head-on. I have also investigated his past reputation, and it seems passable."

"However, with this massive death of his main Pet Beasts, he’s in a tragic situation now. Without his core battle strength, the downfall of the Four Saints Gang is probably not far off. His real-life business is likely to be swallowed up by competing groups as the Four Saints Gang’s era ends."

"At this point, if you could give him a hand, you might just gain a powerful ally."

"Of course, that’s not the main reason."

"It’s because his sister ’Bai Ling’ is very beautiful and has also been through the same Breakthrough Secret Realm as you. I was afraid that you might not find out about this news in time and miss the opportunity to ’send charcoal in snowy weather.’ You might want to help out, and who knows, you might even find a girlfriend." Manager Ying’s mouth quirked up.

"Scram," Lu Ran glared, knowing that Manager Ying was quite calculating.

He was not at all familiar with that Bai Ling.

This Bai Ling, like Pluto, belonged to the second generation of Beast Trainers and had performed well in the freshman contest, but unfortunately, it was just "well" and nothing outstanding. Now that her backing was gone, her resources were expected to keep diminishing.

...Besides, even if he was looking for a girlfriend, he wouldn’t choose the daughter of a mob boss.

He preferred women who were stronger than himself, much stronger indeed, ideally eclipsing his own ability in various talents and strengths.

But Lu Ran narcissistically thought to himself, finding such a candidate would be quite difficult.

And even if he did find someone, the chances were they wouldn’t be interested in him.

"Do you think he’s suitable?" Lu Ran asked.

"Why not predict the future and see how he develops after coming into contact with the necro system?"

Manager Ying: ?

"Scram!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll discuss it with Doctor Gu, and if she thinks there’s no problem, I’ll contact Bai Ling and see..."

Time to recruit the first Necromancer and establish Xia Country’s Reaper!

...

"Hmm?" Lu Ran and Gu Qingyi had actually parted ways not long ago.

Gu Qingyi had been part of the team escorting Lu Ran before.

Now, receiving another call from Lu Ran, Gu Qingyi was slightly surprised; however, as Lu Ran explained the situation with "Bai Qi," Gu Qingyi immediately understood and said,

"Oh, I got that intelligence too."

"But I was abroad at the time and didn’t have the time to pay attention, I was planning to investigate it after coming back."

"Actually, the main reason is that I’m not very familiar with this Bai Qi, and you know, selecting someone for the necro system is a serious matter, we certainly can’t choose just anyone."

"But since Manager Ying believes he’s not a big problem, then he should be alright, right?" Gu Qingyi said, "So, are you going to contact him to see?"

"If you’re going, I can provide you with an item."

"What item?" Lu Ran asked.

"World’s Rare item, Heart-Answering Stone, it was cleverly taken by a first-generation from the forces of a colossal beast trainer’s power in the Breakthrough Secret Realm. He got hired as an examiner for recruiting new disciples and walked off with the Heart-Answering Stone before leaving. Although he’s a bit lacking compared to you, he’s still quite... amazing."

"The Heart-Answering Stone has always been a national treasure-level item used by officials to interrogate certain special individuals. If you need it, I can arrange for you to use it, you can use it to see if Bai Qi is fit to be recruited."

"OK, I need it," Lu Ran said.

"Alright, then I’ll express it over to you."

Lu Ran: ???

Gu Qingyi: "Cat Ear Express, mission guaranteed."

So, she’s sending Manager Ying’s avatar, huh!

...

That same day.

The Heart-Answering Stone was delivered into Lu Ran’s hands.

Getting his hands on the stone, Lu Ran was quite intrigued.

The principle behind this stone was simple, similar to a lie detector, heating up and vibrating whenever the subject told a lie.

Truth be told, it seemed rather underwhelming, this is World’s Rare level?

Lu Ran had hundreds of ways to lie while sticking to the truth.

However, that’s assuming he knew someone was trying to fish for information. If someone was unaware, then the stone could be somewhat useful.

Besides, Manager Ying explained that it wasn’t the functionality that made it high-level, but rather its ability to detect lies regardless of the target’s level.

"Manager Ying, am I excellent?" Lu Ran, holding the stone that resembled a pebble, played with it in his hand and asked Manager Ying who was about to leave.

Manager Ying: ?

"Ordinary."

The next moment, the stone turned cold and shook.

"You’re lying."

"Enough already." Manager Ying glared fiercely, having never seen someone so shameless, and huffily turned to leave.

"Yun Bao, am I handsome?"

Lu Ran then asked the Weather Spirit sprawled in the ice cream.

"Lur?" The Weather Spirit looked up blankly, then nodded its head.

The stone showed no change.

Such a nice thing, what a pity it belonged to the nation; otherwise, he would have liked to have one...

"What should I wear to meet Bai Qi?" At this point, having acquired the important item, Lu Ran flipped through his clothes, and upon seeing the Necromancy Saint Robe, he paused and coughed. Wearing that would fit the theme, but it might also attract the unwanted attention of police officers.

Better put on the harmless Husky Sleeve, to avoid frightening him and causing him to call the police.
