Chapter 482: Chapter 296: Roc Feathers, The Dragon Team Achieves Great Merits_1

In a Public Infinite City, at the Neko Maid Cafe.

When Lu Ran arrived, the Senior Chairman was already deep in conversation with Manager Ying.

On the table, there was neither coffee nor a cold drink.

The Senior Chairman had brought his own thermos, with a Spirit Ginseng floating inside.

"Actually, the reason I called you here is that Lu Ran has obtained some important information."

"Huh... Important information..." The Senior Chairman looked skeptical.

If these words had come from Lu Ran’s mouth, he would have found no issue with them.

But coming from this cat, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that Manager Ying was trying to sell the information.

It surely wouldn’t be as simple as just sharing it for free.

"How important is it?"

"It concerns the fate of Xia Country!" Manager Ying’s gaze drifted, the information was important, but of course, Lu Ran’s main objective for coming here was definitely not just to share the information.

He was after the Senior Chairman’s epic materials.

However, his goal must not be so blatantly exposed.

Especially since this was the first meeting between Lu Ran and the Senior Chairman, he certainly needed to cultivate a good relationship first.

Lead along gently and skillfully.

"I am here."

While the old man and the cat were talking, Lu Ran entered, was swiftly teleported by the cat ear maid, and then he sat upright across from the Senior Chairman.

"The Chairman?"

Lu Ran looked at the kindly-faced old man across from him and said, "Mr. Chairman, it’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

"Pleased to meet you as well."

The Senior Chairman chuckled as he looked at Lu Ran, "Manager Ying told me you have some information to share with me."

"Yes." Lu Ran pondered for a moment, then got straight to the point, telling the Senior Chairman about the Divine Deer.

Upon hearing this, the Senior Chairman truly fell into a long silence.

"What are your thoughts?" After a while, he raised his head to ask Lu Ran.

Lu Ran said, "I want to locate the Teleportation Array and make a trip to the Star-Moon Continent to find the Divine Deer so it can help me awaken the Beast Training Space."

"If by chance this opportunity could lead to a way for the people of Xia Country to awaken their own Beast Training Spaces, perhaps our chances of victory in the World Battle a year from now could be higher."

"To step back, even if we lose, even if our Infinite City facilities are downgraded as a punishment, or to take it to an extreme, even if the Infinite City disappears again, as long as we have mastered the cultivation system, we still have a backup plan."

"After all, before the appearance of the Infinite City, the Star-Moon Federation was still developing well and even gave birth to Legendary Beast Trainers."

"Also, this could be an opportunity to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Star-Moon Federation."

"By that time, to beat them decisively."

The Senior Chairman laughed and said, "I thought you would be most interested in the matter of the people of Blue Star and the Star-Moon Federation being of the same origin."

"Looking to go there, seeking peace, cooperation, development."

Lu Ran was also taken aback, then smiled and said, "I’m not a child anymore, how could such a thing be possible? Where there are interests, there is conflict, not to mention between Blue Star and the Star-Moon Federation. Even among the countries of the human race on Blue Star, the struggle has never ceased."

"Currently, the Star-Moon Federation’s Beast Training civilization is more advanced than ours; going there to learn by stealth is the real strategy."

"Once we are as strong as the Star-Moon Federation, then perhaps we can truly cooperate."

The Senior Chairman narrowed his eyes and said, "As for the cross-border Teleportation Array, I might know where it is."

Lu Ran, Manager Ying: ???

"What?" Both the man and the cat were extremely surprised.

"In my younger years, when I went abroad to steal... conduct archaeology, I found a very mysterious underground altar. The place had murals of the Space-Time Divine Dragon. At the time, I just thought it was another dragon civilization, but after learning about the myths and legends of the Star-Moon Continent, I can confirm that the image of those two soaring Dragon Gods represents the Time-Space Twin Dragons at the time of the creation of the Star-Moon Continent."

"That image might be left by their Affiliates, and that special altar could possibly be a cross-border Teleportation Array?" recalled the Senior Chairman.

Lu Ran and Manager Ying looked at each other in disbelief, never having imagined that the so-called cross-border Teleportation Array might have been discovered by the Senior Chairman decades ago.

"However," the Senior Chairman said, "even if it really is a Teleportation Array, going to the Star-Moon Federation is simply too dangerous."

Lu Ran of course understood the danger, but weren’t risk and reward always present together?

If he could find the Divine Deer...

Just one energy avatar of the Divine Deer had been able to enhance his affiliation skill to such an extent.

If he could train with the Divine Deer itself for a few months, perhaps by the time of the World Battle, he could be the one to decisively beat the legends of the Star-Moon Federation.

By then, taking possession of the Divine Deer’s legacy and the privileges of the Infinite City... his life would be without regrets.

"No worries, I’ll accompany him. As long as we don’t encounter any Legendary Level foes, I can’t guarantee victory, but I can assure you that escaping will not be a problem," Manager Ying joined in the conversation.

At this moment, the Senior Chairman was once again lost in thought, feeling there was some merit to what Lu Ran had said.

At present, Xia Country and the Star-Moon Federation’s top combat strengths indeed had some gaps.

Even if the facilities of Xia Country’s Infinite City were somewhat better, it was uncertain whether they could surpass the Star-Moon Federation in a year’s time.

At this time, having an extra fallback and an additional hope made sense.

Even if we were defeated in the world war, even if Infinite City were to disappear in the future, as long as Lu Ran came up with a way for the people of Blue Star to awaken their Beast Training Space, then Xia Country could still proceed on the path of the extraordinary, going a great distance.

"So, when do you two plan to set off?" The old chairman couldn’t help but take the matter seriously since it involved the fate of the nation.

"I think..." Lu Ran said, "After I break through to a level four Beast Trainer. My current power is indeed a bit weak. It would be better to break through one more level."

"Then is there any help you need me to provide?" the old chairman asked.

That question seemed to trigger something.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman, I’ve heard that you have a Roc Feather..."

"Could you lend it to me for a while?"

"I need it for cultivating my Pet Beast; if it’s stronger, it might make this dangerous mission a bit safer..."

The old chairman fell silent.

He looked at Manager Ying.

Manager Ying was also startled, damn, Lu Ran really just smoothly started asking for it.

Is he really a genius?

But why is this old man looking at me?

"It was me who told Lu Ran about it," Manager Ying coughed and said, "It’s that Weather Spirit you brought back from the Elemental Era. Lu Ran fused it with an All-Round Trait. If it had an extremely strong entity to model after, the Weather Spirit would become stronger."

"As the Divine Beast that is fabled to be the fastest in legends, having the Weather Spirit take the Roc as a reference to improve its speed attribute would indeed enhance Lu Ran’s safety."

"Is that so." The old chairman looked at the human and cat, saying, "Is that it?"

Saying so, he took out a white feather from his identity card space.

[Name]: Roc Feather

[Level]: Epic

[Introduction]: Roc Feather, purpose unknown.

"If it’s this thing, lending it to you is no problem. I don’t have a use for it at the moment."

"I once tried to let my Pet Beast comprehend the Roc Intent through this, but after practicing for three years, it didn’t succeed."

"If it’s useful to you, you can borrow it until the mission is over, and then return it to me."

"If your mission is successful, I wouldn’t mind rewarding you with this resource either," the old chairman laughed.

"Really??" Lu Ran was taken aback. If that was the case, then he had to do whatever it took to obtain the Human Evolution method.

...

After the secret meeting between the old chairman, Lu Ran, and Manager Ying, the old chairman left.

Manager Ying looked at Lu Ran, "So when do you plan to enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm again?"

Lu Ran glanced at her and said, "It shouldn’t take long. I should be ready after finishing the League challenge matches. As for the rest, nurturing the Artifact Spirit is a fate-driven task, no rush to complete it. The level three Legendary Secret Realms are also something I can clear anytime I attempt them, shouldn’t take too much time. It’s just that I still haven’t found a suitable one. If I can’t find one for too long... then I’ll just pick one at random."

"Alright then, prepare for the League challenge matches," Manager Ying said, seemingly eager to reach the actual Star-Moon Continent.

"You..." Manager Ying seemed eager to add something, but...

[Congratulations to Level One Beast Trainer Lu Bing, Pig Farmer, Wishing You a Safe Journey, It’s Lu Not Dew for conquering the level one Legendary Secret Realm ’Armor Mountain,’ starting a legendary journey.]

An unexpected voice cut her off.

"Ah?" Manager Ying was stunned and looked at Lu Ran, "The Water Dragon Team?"

Lu Ran was also surprised, "Not bad at all, they invested so much resource, finally seeing some returns."

"That Armor Mountain..." Manager Ying said, "You instructed them to conquer it."

Lu Ran shook his head and then nodded.

"I just told them to find a Legendary Secret Realm where the BOSS was skilled in support and defense. I didn’t know which one they ultimately chose."

"Manager Ying, do you have any information on this Armor Mountain Secret Realm?"

Manager Ying thought for a moment, "Armor Mountain Secret Realm, the BOSS is a High-Ranked King species pangolin. Of course, that’s not the name of their species; they’re called Drilling Mountain Beast."

"Like the Huge Diamond Dragon, it’s a mutated creature. It’s not only powerful individually but also invincible in defense when it collaborates with the environment."

"It has a special Talent that can make anything it touches incredibly hard, almost like an enchantment."

"When the Drilling Mountain Beast burrows underground or into a mountain, then strengthens the area it touches, it’s like having an unbreakable shield."

"It’s as if a human carried a steel safe room around. Even an apocalyptic event wouldn’t be a threat."

"Can it bestow this hardness on other living beings as well?" Lu Ran quickly asked.

Manager Ying shook her head, "How would I know? Drilling Mountain Beasts are solitary creatures."

"But those four are quite impressive. They managed to kill a BOSS skilled in defense and evasion. They probably used some dirty tricks... Now that Fang Lan is back, it couldn’t be poison, could it?"

"Don’t underestimate the Dragon Clan underlings of the King of Sudden Death." At this, Lu Bing and the others also began to send congratulatory messages to Lu Ran.

Lu Bing: [Village Chief, Village Chief!! We hit the jackpot!!]

[Take a look, can you use this Trait?]

[Trait Crystal (Energy Aura)]: A Pet Beast that fuses with this Trait Crystal can maintain one of its advantageous body Attributes in the form of an energy aura and bestow it onto a designated target for a period of time.
