Chapter 642: Chapter 392 Left Shi Zhen Right Qingyi_1

"Fine, fine, as long as you’re happy."

Lu Ran didn’t know what to say to Manager Ying’s request.

However, with this...

Aside from Number 18, the Six Paths Flower, and Mr. Husky, all the traits of my contracted pet beasts are finally complete.

The Dark Crow’s count had reached six, and Yun Bao and King of Sudden Death could also make it six if they absorbed the "Fusion" and "Bloodline Dominance" Attributes.

"I’ve agreed to your terms, and while you’re at it, help me find a World’s Rare Resource with a Space Attribute for awakening," Lu Ran said. "I plan to give it to Mechanical Angel No. 18."

No. 18 just fused with a Mechanical Heart Attribute and wasn’t good at fighting, so Lu Ran had no intention of training it in the combat department.

Yet, as a mechanic series pet, having its own Spatial Bag, filled with pre-made "bombs," isn’t too much, right?

Lu Ran planned to integrate a Space Attribute into No. 18, giving it its own Mechanical Space.

"Okay," Manager Ying nodded and said, "You’ve just contracted with the mechanical pet, so there’s no rush to cultivate it. As for the Six Paths Flower, ordinary Traits don’t enhance it since it’s a Legendary Level beast. It’s better to have fewer high-quality Traits than too many that could affect its second-stage evolution. Falling short of a Middle Legend after a second-stage evolution would be a loss, so there’s also no rush for that."

"So, Mr. Husky is the only one whose Traits are still lacking, right?"

"Right, Mr. Husky just fused ’Weapon Control,’ ’Nature Manipulation,’ ’Perfect Understanding,’ and ’Space Series’ abilities, still missing two. However, the Legendary Secret Realm we just came from did drop a nice Trait that I plan to fuse into Mr. Husky, which means he’ll only be short one after that."

"Don’t bother looking for that one Trait; I plan to fuse a very common one that everyone can drop."

"Hmm??" Manager Ying looked at Lu Ran, puzzled; this didn’t fit Lu Ran’s style.

By doing so, among the abilities fused into Mr. Husky, Perfect Understanding would be rare.

"What Trait is it?"

Lu Ran said, "Before I contracted the Six Paths Flower, I was planning to fuse Lucky Grass into Sword Grass, but found out that affiliated beings can’t fuse Traits."

"My original plan was to equip Sword Grass with ’Lucky Attribute’ and then fuse ’Critical Strike Trait,’ thus making Mr. Husky’s Slashing Attack more violent in pursuit of the ultimate damage."

"Now, I plan to fuse the Critical Strike Trait directly into Mr. Husky!"

Critical Strike Trait: There’s an extremely small probability that a skill will do multiple times the damage.

"I see," Manager Ying immediately understood Lu Ran’s idea.

It’s not that Lu Ran was counting on Mr. Husky relying on the luck from the Six Path Flower to gamble on hits.

Recently, an academic specializing in Attribute Abilities deciphered the core principle behind the "Critical Strike Trait."

The Critical Strike Trait essentially allows the fused pet to enter a mysterious "Enlightenment" state with a small chance. While in Enlightenment, the pet momentarily achieves an insight into its skills that is extraordinary and transcends its current level. Leveraging this special state, the pet’s skill release becomes incomparably more powerful than before.

A critical hit, a Critical Strike, signifies a boosted attack after understanding one’s own abilities.

Many have fused this Trait, but most Beast Trainers treat it like a gambler’s Trait.

Of course, this is also because 99.9999% of pets forget all insights after landing a critical hit.

If it weren’t for that researcher from a minor country delving deep, most would still take the Critical Strike Trait as a gambler’s skill.

"Normally, after a pet enters the Critical Strike state, it does so and that’s it. Apart from occasionally landing a powerful hit, it doesn’t mean much."

"But Mr. Husky has fused with the Absolute Comprehension Attribute, and after consuming so many Clear Spirit Fruits, his insight and sustainment have both enhanced; combined with the Critical Hit Trait, it might trigger a chain reaction. Not only might he enter the critical state more easily, but he could also remember it and thus achieve a leap in his skill level."

"Exactly!" Lu Ran said. "What do you think about this pairing?"

"It could work," Manager Ying nodded, and although Mr. Husky had fused common Traits, who said powerful combinations can’t come from common Traits?

Remembering the dim-witted Doggo, Manager Ying said, "I’ll also get this for you, so you won’t have to hunt it down yourself."

"I would appreciate that," Lu Ran smiled faintly.

......

After finishing the exchange with Manager Ying, Lu Ran glanced at the time. There were two days left until the next Evolutionary Secret Realm opened, and sixteen days until the one after that.

Just like the first-stage Evolutionary Secret Realms, initially, there was only one, but as time passed, more appeared. Now there were five second-stage Evolutionary Secret Realms available.

The cooldown period for each second-stage Evolutionary Secret Realm, depending on the energy consumed by the Evolved Beasts, was only three months to half a year. This gave many from the First Generation hope – if they were willing to endure, they might have the chance to receive the Evolution Blessing from Infinite City.

"Luckily, I’ve stepped out of the race and directly had the Legendary Creatures help treat my Evolved Beasts; otherwise, I’d have to scrap with other Beast Trainers for spaces in those secret realms..."

It was not that Lu Ran couldn’t compete; he was more concerned about accidentally monopolizing all the Blessing opportunities...

"However, not all pets receive Legendary Blessing. For those like Mr. Husky and Yun Bao who haven’t yet found their opportunity, we should take advantage of the second-stage Evolutionary Secret Realms when we can."
