The King of Beast Trainers
Chapter 549 - 348

Chapter 549: 348

"Lucky Flower..."

Upon seeing the new Racial Talent of the Six Paths Flower, Lu Ran was slightly taken aback.

This Talent, once again, had enhanced the ability of the Clover Trait!

The Lucky Grass’ ability was to amplify one’s own good fortune and bring good luck to those around them.

And now, with the appearance of the Lucky Flower Talent, it meant that even if someone was not by the side of the Six Paths Flower, as long as she wished, she could still bring them good fortune.

All she needed to do was expend some strength to condense a Good Luck Flower and have the other person carry it.

Then, even if the Six Paths Flower and the other person were worlds apart, as long as the Good Luck Flower was with them, that person could enjoy the boon of her fortune!

Lu Ran grinned, finding this Talent quite nice. When he had some free time, he could let Sister Hua condense a few and give them to Master Jiang Dou, Fang Lan, Doctor Gu, and others as gifts.

However, dealing with luck, a somewhat BUG Attribute, he guessed that creating one would not be a minor consumption for the Six Paths Flower...

It wouldn’t cause her to overdo it and affect her own fortune, right?? Turning the Clover Trait into a Misfortune Grass.

"..." Lost in thought, Lu Ran heard the Six Paths Flower speak, "I don’t feel any changes in my body, I hope to encounter some good fortune next."

"It’s not that quick."

Lu Ran laughed, "That’s about it. We have troubled Lord Divine Deer for quite some time now, it’s about time we get moving and do some work."

"Mhm." The Six Paths Flower nodded her head.

Having received benefits from the Divine Deer, it was only natural to pay back its kindness.

The task mentioned by the Divine Deer wasn’t a difficult one, and Lu Ran planned to check it out.

Moreover, having the opportunity to encounter a legendary creature was not just a task, but clearly also a chance.

Even a Legendary Beast Trainer wouldn’t necessarily come across a legendary creature in their entire life under normal circumstances.

In comparison, he considered himself to be quite lucky.

Take for example, the Divine Deer wanted to cultivate a Divine Envoy like itself and had the Divine Turtle team up with her to explore Infinite City.

As the intermediary, if Lu Ran could convince the Divine Turtle, wouldn’t he then have the first right of recommendation?

He could completely recommend some Beast Trainers whom he thought promising, like the Senior Chairman, Fang Lan, Doctor Gu, let them meet the Divine Turtle and see if they were suitable to be Envoys, and let the Divine Turtle choose.

Regardless of whom the Divine Turtle fancied, it was definitely better than the Divine Turtle picking someone Lu Ran didn’t know.

Even if the Divine Turtle ended up choosing someone unfamiliar, Lu Ran’s relationship with the Divine Turtle’s Envoy was bound to be not too shabby.

Of course, if the Divine Turtle didn’t mind, he, Lu Ran, Emperor of Part-time Jobs, could also work two jobs, that wasn’t impossible either.

This was a chance!

"If that’s the case, then off you go." Fortifying the Six Paths Flower, then Lu Ran, and the Six Paths Flower again, the Divine Deer indeed felt tired.

Its strength, already not at its peak due to the environment of the Star-Moon World... it now needed to make some preparations for heading to Blue Star and to conserve energy.

As for Lu Ran’s side, with the God of the Six-Path and that cat around, the Divine Deer felt reassured.

Although the Six Paths Flower was only level 50 at the moment, with her terrifying combat experience and her high-ranking Racial Talent, her strength was undoubtedly not to be underestimated.

Moreover, that cat seemed to have something special about it. In the Star-Moon World, unless Lu Ran encountered one of those ancient freaks, even a Human Legend would not even dream of taking down Lu Ran.

"Alright... then we’ll go find Senior Bai Lu and Manager Ying!" said Lu Ran.

......

Next, Lu Ran retracted the Six Paths Flower and left Clear Spring Valley.

Upon leaving the valley, he immediately discovered a treehouse just outside the valley, sensing Bai Lu’s presence from within.

Of course, he also sensed Manager Ying’s presence. At the moment, she was lying flat like a beckoning cat, belly up to the Sun, flailing her arms aimlessly.

"Hey, you’re finally done."

Seeing Lu Ran come out, Manager Ying turned over and said boredly.

At the same moment, Bai Lu also walked out of the treehouse. Her eyes burned with intensity as she looked at Lu Ran, "The Beast Training Space has been created, hasn’t it?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.

"Lu Ran, you should thank Bai Lu," uttered Manager Ying from the side.

"Huh?" Lu Ran blinked in confusion, wondering why he should thank her...

Manager Ying chuckled, "In the process of figuring out how to create the Beast Training Space for you, the Divine Deer spent a long time checking Bai Lu’s body, using her Beast Training Space as a reference for exploration."

Bai Lu sniffed.

This feeling... she found it very strange.

"Oh, I see, thanks Senior Bai Lu." Lu Ran immediately offered his gratitude, and he was relieved that Bai Lu had been there for the Divine Deer to use as a reference. Otherwise, who knew what the Divine Deer might have turned him into... The thought made Lu Ran shiver with hindsight relief.

At the same time, Lu Ran secretly adjusted his trajectory and, upon finding the Beast Training Space had no connection to gender, he breathed another sigh of relief.

"What are your plans next?" Bai Lu asked, "Are you going to stay in Star-Moon Continent?"

Lu Ran replied, "Lord Divine Deer has assigned me a task; I might need to go to the Abyss Space in the Northern Endless Ocean Area to look for the Ghost Mother."

"Oh." Bai Lu nodded, surprised that just after Lu Ran’s arrival, the Divine Deer had already arranged for Lu Ran to take on a task involving the undead Affiliation...

She displayed an envious look. Compared to her own task, which was still centered around exploring Infinite City and collecting various historical clues, Lu Ran’s was much more exciting.

She had been the first one after all...

However, Bai Lu, as a loyal follower of the Divine Deer, had no complaints about the Divine Deer’s arrangement; she believed that if Lord Divine Deer had arranged it in such a way, there must be a profound meaning behind it.

Upon further thought, Bai Lu realized that she didn’t have a pet beast capable of venturing into the deep sea, so finding the Ghost Mother would indeed be difficult.

"Then you should execute Lord Divine Deer’s mission diligently and not let down his expectations," Bai Lu said seriously and earnestly, "If there’s anything you need help with, just tell me. Don’t be polite."

Lu Ran immediately nodded, then said without reserve, "Senior Bai Lu, could you get me a mechanical intelligent life?"

Bai Lu: ?

"You really don’t hold back!!" Bai Lu exclaimed in shock and anger.

"Where am I supposed to find you a mechanical intelligent life?"

"This... Does it have any connection to Lord Divine Deer’s mission?"

Lu Ran showed an innocent expression; there was probably no connection. However, Lu Ran hadn’t forgotten the Senior Chairman’s mission to acquire an intelligent mechanical life to strengthen Xia Country’s technological power.

The mission from the Divine Deer was certainly important, but so was this task. If Bai Lu could manage it, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Lu Ran argued, "Senior Bai Lu, as you know, there are no mechanical lives in Blue Star, only mechanically modified beasts. Ever since I was young, I’ve had a dream: to pilot a mecha! Coming to the Star-Moon Federation this time, I really want to contract an intelligent machine and use it to make a mecha to pilot."

"And since I’ve just arrived and am unfamiliar with the place, if I go looking by myself, I’m worried about causing some trouble, which would affect Lord Divine Deer’s mission."

Bai Lu, puffing with anger, said without words, "You do have a point. Now, advanced intelligent mechanical lives are monopolized by large financiers and the official sector, and ordinary people can’t access them. If you go looking on your own, it would indeed be easy to cause trouble."

"However..."

"However what?"

"However, I also don’t have a proper way to obtain a mechanical intelligent life," Bai Lu said. "I am a Beast Trainer as well as a Plantmaster; I don’t know any Mechanists and have no connection to anything mechanical."

"Forget it, let me find a way for you. That Death Gun I mentioned earlier, the Beast Trainer who’s suspected to be the emissary of the Reaper of the Netherworld, he’s a Necromancer as well as a Mechanist. I’ll see whether I can contact him and ask for his help. It’s just that I’m not really familiar with him either, and I’ve heard he’s not easy to get along with."

"There’s no need to go through all that trouble."

Manager Ying, who had been listening to Bai Lu and Lu Ran’s conversation, said, "I know a way to get an intelligent mechanical life."

Bai Lu was startled, turning to Manager Ying.

What?

How do you know that?

Lu Ran was also surprised.

Why didn’t you say sooner?

Manager Ying snorted and said, "Not long ago, a mechanical heritage relic was unearthed underground in the First Continent, suspected to be a product of the Mechanical Era. According to the information, there’s an artificial intelligence chip among the rewards inside, one developed during the Mechanical Era."

"It could be seen generally as a ’Mechanical Pet Beast Egg’ that has been preserved from the ancient past to the present."

"If you challenge this secret realm, you may have the chance to obtain an artificial intelligent life, and its model might be even more powerful than those currently controlled by the Federation."

Upon seeing Bai Lu’s astonished expression, Manager Ying said, "Don’t forget, I’m an information dealer!"

"Hmm... I had actually forgotten that." Bai Lu then remembered that in Manager Ying’s introduction of herself, she had said she runs an information store in Xia Country.

Bai Lu hadn’t paid attention to the situation regarding the mechanical mystical land, yet this outsider had been vigilant about it.

"Indeed, that sounds good, but surely the mechanical ruins would be monopolized by the Federation government and conglomerates, right?" Lu Ran asked, "Without a way to explore them, we can’t just barge in, can we?"

Manager Ying replied, "It’s true that it’s been sealed off, but there’s no big deal in sneaking in. The strongest in Star-Moon Federation are only the Legendary Beast Trainers. With me taking you to sneak in, are you worried about being found out?"

"That’s true." Lu Ran was taken aback, and he also had the Six Paths Flower. Sister Hua had said that although her Space Attribute wasn’t dominant, it had already reached a high level of proficiency, integrated into her Grass Attribute. With two Space Attribute experts assisting him, he wouldn’t have to worry about sneaking in undetected, right?

Bai Lu: ???

"You two!!" Bai Lu got angry again, saying, "Do you know what you are doing? If this gets discovered..."

"Especially with your identities, it will definitely affect the peace and stability of the two worlds, which is against the responsibilities of a Divine Deer Emissary."

"Ahem." Manager Ying and Lu Ran coughed.

"You must not, must not do anything rash!" Bai Lu said sternly, "Otherwise, regardless of whether the Federation people discover it or not, I definitely won’t let the two of you off the hook."

"I will use my network to get you an identity that can explore the mechanical ruins. Remember, don’t act on your own."

"Sure, sure, sure." Lu Ran promised. He did believe in Bai Lu’s connections; after all, as a Divine Deer Emissary, even if those in the higher ranks of the Federation didn’t know of this identity, with Bai Lu being under twenty years old and already a level six Beast Trainer, her prestige in the Star-Moon Federation would make sorting these matters out for him no difficult task.

Goodness.

When luck comes, it truly can’t be stopped.

Is this Sister Hua making her move?

He initially just wanted an ordinary intelligent mechanical life, and now he might have the chance to get an intelligent life chip from the Mechanical Era?

In terms of technological level, surely the Mechanical Era was superior!

"Right," Manager Ying, seeing Bai Lu hurriedly accept the task, then said to Lu Ran, "This mechanical ruin has an entry threshold."

"The challenge pet beast must possess mechanical capabilities."

"Ah?" Lu Ran was taken aback and said, "I don’t have that."

"A mechanically modified beast would also do," Manager Ying explained.

"But I don’t have that either."

"You could have one," Manager Ying analyzed. "You could buy a ’non-mechanical life’ ’normal mechanical light sword’ for your dog to carry in its mouth. Combined with Weapon Control, it could integrate with the mechanical light sword, turning it into a mechanical dog, right?"
