Chapter 428: Chapter 255 Coexistence of Nuclear_1
City Lord Ye was speechless.
In her younger days, the young prodigies all carried themselves with extraordinary composure and charming elegance.
A mere gesture or step could induce the screams of countless girls.
In her eyes, Lu Ran’s strength far surpassed those fellows.
But the problem was, she somehow felt that the young man before her was somewhat slick-tongued and frivolous.
For a moment, City Lord Ye couldn’t understand. Perhaps she had been so seldom traveling the continent that she couldn’t keep up with the current trends.
"Enough," she said.
"Don’t do that again next time."
"The tree that stands out in the forest is often blown down by the wind. Although you come from an extraordinary background, you must learn to act with discretion. That’s how you’ll better protect yourself."
"No matter if it’s the power behind you, your parents, or even me, your master, we can’t protect you all the time."
"I understand," Lu Ran nodded earnestly.
But it couldn’t be helped.
That’s just how the scoring mechanism worked.
If he dared to do it again next time,
he’d be seeking danger in the face of wealth.
"Before I teach you, I want to know, what do you really want?" City Lord Ye asked.
Lu Ran pondered for a moment and then looked at City Lord Ye with utmost seriousness, "I want to combine Beast Training with Plant Controlling."
"I don’t want to give up on Beast Training, but I’m also very interested in Plant Controlling."
"So, I want to research and see if it’s possible, without forming a contract with Plant Pets, to let a Pet Beast have absolute control over a certain plant life and to enhance itself with its power."
"Master, have you heard of Affiliation?"
City Lord Ye said, "Of course, it’s said that the Divine Tree has four great Affiliations guarding the four corners of the continent, helping the Divine Tree to fend off threats from overseas. Don’t tell me you’re thinking of..."
"Yes!" Lu Ran said, "Legends say that Monarch-level and above legendary creatures all have several divine Affiliates. There is a special bond between the God Lord and its Affiliates, where their strengths can influence and enhance each other."
"So I was wondering, for animal life, if there’s a way to cultivate plant life into an Affiliate, since nobody ever said Affiliates have to be of the same Race."
"Of course, this is my ultimate dream. Right now, let alone how to help a Pet Beast cultivate an Affiliation, I don’t even know how to cultivate Spirit Intelligence in Sword Grass," Lu Ran sighed.
"You sure have grand ideals," City Lord Ye said with a faint smile, "Don’t aim too high and miss; take it step by step. What you’ve talked about doesn’t sound entirely impossible."
"As for your Sword Grass..."
"If you want to awaken it, you might need to visit the Royal Planting Family in Ten Thousand Leaves City. They may know the method for awakening Sword Grass."
"The Ji Family?" Lu Ran said.
"You know?" City Lord Ye looked at Lu Ran, "In that case, let me go visit the Ji Family for you. Consider it a welcoming gift for you, my disciple."
Lu Ran: "!!!"
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Ran bowed joyfully.
Ye Ying glanced at Lu Ran and said, "By the way, the Flower Demon Emperor Plantmaster you met during the preliminary trial is my senior sister’s disciple. Considering your relationships, she is somewhat like your fellow disciple. Go pay her a visit later."
"And that Plantmaster named Yu Rui comes from no simple background. It’s good that you didn’t go too hard on him; otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle afterward. Make an effort to befriend him when you have time, it wouldn’t hurt."
"Uh..."
Indeed, Lu Ran had been quite kind to those three Alien World Beast Trainers. His aim was to pry open their mouths and ask for intelligence after blending into the background.
"You’re staying with the Shi Family now, right?" City Lord Ye asked.
"Yes."
"Well, you’ll move into the City Lord’s Mansion next. First, do as I said, go see both Yu Rui and your Senior Sister Gu, and I’ll go prepare your accommodation."
"Hmm, visit Yu Rui first. Your Senior Sister Gu is in the City Lord’s Mansion, receiving treatment from my sister. Wait until she recovers a bit more before you visit her."
"Alright, by the way, Master, when will the official apprenticeship ceremony be held? Like throwing a banquet to invite all the major families, your fellow disciples, the strong figures from the surrounding cities, that sort of thing," Lu Ran asked.
He valued etiquette highly.
"Let’s skip the formalities of the official apprenticeship ceremony," she said.
"Ah?"
"What ’ah’?" City Lord Ye gave Lu Ran a stern look. Mainly, she was worried about dealing with the aftermath when Lu Ran’s background came into play. It was best to keep things simple.
Lu Ran felt a twinge in his heart.
Where would he get his gifts then?
Forget it, the official business is more important. He could do without the small gifts; he wasn’t the poor fellow he used to be anymore.
...
Lu Ran left the City Lord’s Mansion in high spirits, already looking forward to his upcoming life as the young city master.
Following the advice of his master, the City Lord, Lu Ran went to a medical center in Tree World City to pay a visit to those he had beaten before.
Unlike on the Star-Moon Continent, on the Divine Tree Continent, the Power of Healing is very common.
Here, not only were there Ferocious Plants but also various Plant Pets that specialized in healing and support.
Unfortunately, the exploration of the Plant World, Elemental World, and Mechanical World on Blue Star was less comprehensive than the next. Otherwise, Blue Star’s healing methods wouldn’t be in such short supply.
Speaking of healing methods, Lu Ran, who was on his way, started to get distracted by his rewards.
Beast Training Technique, Vibrant Life, a special type of Beast Training Technique. Beast Trainers can convert the natural force from flora and fauna into the power of life and healing!!!
Upon first seeing this skill, Lu Ran couldn’t stop muttering doubts in his heart.
This damn thing, isn’t this just the ability of the Deer Horn of God?
To think that the Breakthrough Secret Realm actually rewarded him with a skill similar to the Deer Horn of God, and they say there’s no rigging???
Lu Ran was quite conflicted about this skill. In Blue Star, healing system Beast Trainers were undoubtedly in high demand. If he hadn’t had the Deer Horn of God, Lu Ran would’ve learned it without a second thought and turned into a healing daddy.
But unfortunately, he already possessed the Deer Horn of God. With its quality, Lu Ran felt he could use it until level 70 or 80 with no issues, so although the skill was rare, it seemed somewhat redundant at the moment.
However, it wasn’t too bad, since only this skill seemed redundant. Lu Ran saw the other rewards as quite excellent.
Take the Clover Trait, for example, Lu Ran exclaimed it was heaven-defying.
Although he felt his luck was not bad, who would complain about having too much luck?
If he contracted a Pet Beast and fused it with this trait, wouldn’t he be able to get unique rewards every time he farmed bosses in the Public Secret Realms???
In that case, this attribute could be considered the top-grade assistive trait for Beast Trainers in Infinite City.
This trait was something that Lu Ran would never sell or exchange, no matter what. He had resolved to reserve it for a future support Pet Beast.
It was a shame that Sword Grass was a weapon, a type of ferocious plant meant for attack, not very suitable to become Lucky Grass.
If the Sword Grass were to awaken later, he could fuse it directly, which would have been convenient.
But it was no issue that Sword Grass wasn’t a fit. Lu Ran turned his attention to the lower monarch-species plant seed, which should equate to a Beast Egg, he guessed.
Just in a different form.
Lu Ran had a headache, as it turned out to be another surprise box seed just like the Weather Spirit egg he had previously, without giving specific race information.
This made Lu Ran quite troubled, unsure whether the creature hatching from this seed would be suitable for Lucky Grass.
"And then there’s this Miracle Seed, hmm, feels like it’s the least useful."
"Making animals grow plant organs? What’s the freaking point..."
He did recall a news story he had seen on Blue Star about a Beast Trainer who had cultivated a Pet Beast with grass growing on its head. It probably involved a resource like the Miracle Seed.
Considering this resource, it definitely wasn’t well suited for Mr. Husky, King of Sudden Death, or Dark Crow, as they were not of Grass, Earth, or Water Attributes. Hence, Lu Ran had no immediate plans for it and would most likely sell, give it away, or exchange it.
After reviewing the loot once more, Lu Ran felt cheerful. He considered the Clover Trait to be the biggest gain from this time. The rest didn’t much matter.
With a buoyant mood, Lu Ran finally arrived at the official hospital in Tree World City, a chain of buildings established atop several giant trees. When Lu Ran arrived here, he was still wearing a mask and had changed into a new set of clothes.
After all, having just emerged victorious from the competition and having upset quite a few people, Lu Ran was concerned about attracting trouble.
"Do you know where the Plantmaster who contracted the War Ancient Tree is being treated? Take me there," Lu Ran said to a passerby healer, showing a token from his City Lord foster father to establish his identity.
"Yes, sir!" Despite not knowing Lu Ran’s identity, the healer immediately showed respect and bowed upon seeing the token.
Before long, Lu Ran arrived outside a healing tree room.
He gently knocked on the door, and a female voice came from inside immediately.
"Come in..."
The next moment, Lu Ran pushed the door and entered. Inside the room, there were only three people, Yu Rui, Liu Man, and Jiang Ming. Yu Rui was weakly propped up on the tree bed, already awakened, apparently having been treated, though still in a poor state.
Liu Man and Jiang Ming, acting as "family and friends," were standing guard beside him.
Expecting another doctor when they heard the knock, their expressions changed dramatically as Lu Ran entered. Liu Man and Jiang Ming even abruptly rose to their feet.
"Don’t get worked up." Lu Ran looked at them with a smile, waving his hand and said, "If I wanted to harm you, you would have been finished long ago."
"Although we’re not from the same world, after all, we are Beast Trainers trained in one place; we don’t necessarily have to be enemies, we could live peacefully."
"Even though we didn’t understand each other before, now isn’t it a good time to get to know one another?"
"Oh, and sorry about directly knocking you out of the competition for the sake of scoring, but surely you wouldn’t hold a grudge over that, right?"
Lu Ran’s words left the three silently reflecting.
Regardless, Lu Ran had one thing right—if he had wanted to harm them, they wouldn’t have made it out of the Forest of Death.
Once awake and realizing his injuries were not fatal, Yu Rui was surprisingly aware that Lu Ran had shown mercy.
"Right, just because we’re not from the same world doesn’t mean we can’t all be friends, trained by Infinite City. We can all be amicable!" Jiang Ming spoke with an awkward smile, seemingly intimidated by Lu Ran’s strength.
"Hmm..." Beside him, Liu Man also took a deep breath. As long as Lu Ran remained friendly, they could certainly be friends indeed, and living in peace was definitely appealing...
"My name is Lu Ran. You can just call me by my name," Lu Ran said with a slight smile. "By the way, we must be the first group of Trialists to encounter each other, aren’t we?"
"Probably..." Yu Rui slowly adjusted his posture, saying, "Anyhow, thank you for sparing us."
"It’s nothing. After all, we didn’t have bad blood or a grudge," Lu Ran shrugged. "The main thing is, you didn’t show any animosity towards me. If you had targeted me from the start, your situation now wouldn’t be just a simple hospital stay."
As Lu Ran finished speaking, Jiang Ming felt a shiver in his heart, getting anxious as he recalled having suggested capturing Lu Ran to gather intel. He suddenly felt like he had narrowly escaped death before.
"Cough, cough, cough!" He began to cough violently, drawing Lu Ran’s gaze.
"No, nothing!" Jiang Ming nearly kneeled, "Brother Lu, you’re so powerful. Are all the Beast Trainers from your side this formidable?"
"It’s alright, I guess. In our place, I’m just average. There are lots of others stronger than me at the same level. Alright, as a return favor, answer some questions for me, will you?" Lu Ran said casually.
