The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 354 - 203: Underworld Place_2

Chapter 354: Chapter 203: Underworld Place_2

It hadn’t taken much time before the spectral forms of the Dragon Snakes and the White Tiger... the deceased Pet Beasts such as Bai Qi’s, began to foster consciousness anew.

"Having just transformed into undead, their strength will undoubtedly have decreased to some extent," Lu Ran remarked, looking over.

"However, once they are proficient with the unique characteristics of the necro system and harness their Soul Power, their strength will quickly undergo a new qualitative change."

Lu Ran spoke from the side, while Bai Qi, who had been acting like a flamboyant second-generation rich kid since earlier, didn’t seem to be paying attention.

He watched the several Pet Beasts reopen their eyes in their undead forms, revealing familiar gazes, and his eyes reddened.

"This is wonderful..." Bai Qi’s heart surged with emotion.

Lu Ran knew Bai Qi was going through a complex mix of emotions, so he didn’t disturb him, leaning against a tree and quietly observing instead.

[This is the greatness of the necro system.]

[After necro system is rightfully acknowledged, more Beast Trainers and Pet Beasts would be able to avoid regrets.]

[It’s just that the Resurrection Skill Cards are too rare, it’s inevitable that not everyone will be able to smoothly change class.]

[How on earth does Reaper get their hands on Resurrection in such large quantities???]

[I don’t understand. If only I were stronger, I’d definitely pay a visit to Reaper headquarters.]

A moment later.

Bai Qi had already become reinvigorated.

Now following behind him were four undead pet beasts, each surpassing level 40.

"Don’t tell anyone about the necro system yet, not even your sister or other relatives," Lu Ran advised.

"Got it, I understand," Bai Qi replied with a smile. "Thank you."

"As for the issue of food for the Pet Beasts, although I’ve resolved it, there still isn’t a good portable option. If you need anything, you can bring over the Evil Beasts you’ve hunted, and I’ll handle them for you."

"Undead Pet Beasts, unlike others, can stay active for a long time after eating in large amounts just once."

"Then, Lu Ran..."

"Don’t call me that anymore. From now on, call me ’Minister.’ Our organization will be called Netherworld Bureau."

"Minister, once I get back, I’ll take care of the Four Saints Gang. What should I do next?" Bai Qi inquired.

He probably shouldn’t be farming in Secret Realms domestically anymore.

If undead Pet Beasts were to be listed, that would cause big trouble.

Of course, switching to a different Infinite City ID might be a possibility...

But everything still depended on Lu Ran’s arrangement.

After some thought, Lu Ran said, "You don’t need to tackle the Infinite City Secret Realm for now. There are many dangerous places that haven’t been dealt with cleanly in Xia Country. You’ll operate solo, handling those uncontrollable Evil Beasts inside the country."

"Then collect the Evil Beast corpses and bring them here. I’ll handle their souls."

"Since we don’t yet have a suitable candidate, I’ll pick a partner for you in the future. From then on, all Netherworld Bureau agents will work in pairs, looking out for each other."

"OK, no problem," Bai Qi replied, full of determination. He felt a new sense of direction in life. His life’s ambition was no longer to grow the Four Saints Gang, but to help Lu Ran propagate the necro system.

After all, the fortunes of Bai Qi and the necro system were now intertwined.

"Oh right, you should get in touch with Doctor Gu later, and register for a backup, just in case you’re targeted by some First Generation within the country as an evil Necromancer," Lu Ran suggested.

"After all, there aren’t many among the First Generation who know about the Netherworld..." To be precise, just two.

......

"Netherworld..."

"You, the Saint Heir of the Necro Sect, are becoming more and more impressive," Manager Ying approached with a smile and said:

"I wonder what the scene will be like when Reaper encounters the Netherworld in the future."

"Cough cough." Lu Ran said, "That’s a matter for the future, let’s talk about it later."

Now, Lu Ran’s idea for the Underworld was simple, to serve as an employee to help him hunt powerful Evil Beasts.

The other party would provide the corpses of Evil Beasts, and Lu Ran would provide Soul Food.

Take Bai Qi, for example, as an outstanding Second Generation, a Level 50 Monarch Race Evil Beast, he too could hunt, with a strength that matched the old brother from Pluto.

Such strength already put him in the second tier within Blue Star.

Later, if he hunted 100 powerful Evil Beasts, Lu Ran would store the souls of the Evil Beasts in a "Soul Binding Bottle," returning 50 portions and keeping 50 for himself. Soon, his side would no longer lack Soul System resources.

The more members in the Underworld there were, the faster he could collect souls.

At the same time, the process of Bai Qi hunting Evil Beasts around Xia Country was also about eliminating hidden dangers for the country, killing three birds with one stone!

Triple win!

For example, Bai Qi was currently on his way to a desert area to help Lu Ran hunt Fire Attribute Evil Beasts. The environment there was harsh, resources scarce, and a lot of Evil Beasts were stirring restlessly.

Bai Qi’s covert hunting was also a way to relieve the pressure on the local military and the Beast Trainer Association.

Of course, Lu Ran would also swiftly study how to forge a low-end version of Rare Trait Soul Binding Bottles to provide other Necromancers with a means to store food, knowledge he had studied at the Necro Sect.

"What’s wrong, is there an issue?" Lu Ran looked over at Manager Ying.

"The mineral resources you requested have all been found for purchase," Manager Ying said:

"World’s Rare level crystal, Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Heart."

"World’s Rare level crystal, Storm Eye."

Weapons forged with the Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Heart, their special effect would be to greatly enhance a Pet Beast’s Ice Attribute strength, even if the Pet Beast was not of the Ice Attribute. As long as they grasped the intent of ice and snow, the techniques they executed would be stronger than those of a regular Ice Attribute Pet Beast. Even without any Ice Attribute abilities, with this crystal, the skills could still have a certain Ice Attribute effect.

It was like installing an Ice Attribute heart in the weapon, allowing it to live like an ice and snow entity, breathing alongside the user’s techniques.

The Storm Eye, on the other hand, would greatly enhance the affinity and control over the Wind Attribute power for the user. It was said that even by simply wearing the Storm Eye, a Pet Beast could feel like a monarch of the wind, clearly perceiving the flow of the wind in nature through its eyes.

Lu Ran wanted these two minerals, of course, to forge new weapons for Mr. Husky. Though their effects were basic, they boasted significant enhancements.

Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Heart, Storm Eye, a thousand Mr. Husky teeth, combined with the Soul Forging Method, as well as rare auxiliary materials conveniently borrowed from Elder Shangguan, Lu Ran was determined to forge for Mr. Husky a World’s Rare level new weapon akin to the Bone Sword·Thousand Blades.

The weapon’s special qualities naturally hinged on the Soul Forging Method and those rare materials from the Secret Realm that were not found on Blue Star.

If the forging succeeded, this weapon also had the potential to evolve into a Spirit Of Weapon in the future, becoming an Affiliation for Mr. Husky alongside the First Generation Sword Grass capable of developing consciousness.

And now, the biggest problem aside from the fact that Lu Ran hadn’t successfully developed the Soul Fire yet, was...

"Money?" Manager Ying stretched out a paw, buying crystals required money.

Lu Ran said, "I don’t have any, how about I give you the Ant Queen’s Egg, you sell it, then with the money from the sale, help me purchase these two minerals, and then give me the rest of the money."

"Well, I can also accept equivalent goods if you have Trait Crystals suitable for my Pet Beasts."

"As for the compensation, you can take a commission from it."

In Lu Ran’s view, the value of an Ant Queen’s Egg was at least equivalent to two ordinary World’s Rare Resources plus one unique Trait Crystal.

As for letting Manager Ying freely take a cut, Lu Ran wasn’t concerned.

Investing in Manager Ying was also a business deal, after all. Its effort to earn money was for gathering resources to awaken its true body, and when the true body awakened, Lu Ran’s bodyguard would become even stronger.

Manager Ying fell into deep thought.

Given the current circumstances.

A Legendary Secret Realm with a perfect score almost always yielded a Beast Egg of the Monarch Race.

And this guy, Lu Ran, didn’t seem to need these Beast Eggs much, always letting it handle the trades.

Over time, this Information Dealer seemed to be turning into a professional egg seller.
