Chapter 679: Chapter 399: Manager Ying’s Daughter!_2

"Eat!" Pig God was the first to start munching noisily, tearing and biting into a huge stick of meat.

Shi Zhen also grabbed a lobster, pulling at it as he said, "Speaking of which, the second phase of the Evolutionary Secret Realm is in a few days. Besides Lin Yin, the three of you are planning to go in, right?"

"Yes," Lin Nian nodded.

"I evolved two of my Pet Beasts in one breath the last time I was in the second phase of the Evolutionary Secret Realm. But even so, I’m still two short of the second evolution," Pig God added.

"Hmm, I’m planning to go in this time as well," Lu Ran said.

"But I’ll be happy just evolving one Pet Beast; the others aren’t ready yet."

"Which one??" Lin Yin looked towards Lu Ran.

"Disaster Spirit."

Everyone nodded.

"Setting aside cheat-level stuff like the Six Paths Flower, you’re probably planning on evolving a Semi-Legend on your own this time," Pig God asked.

"Damn, looks like I won’t get to enjoy the blessings of a second phase secret realm in this lifetime," he sighed as he ate his meat.

"Maybe not."

Lu Ran shook his head and said, "Relying on Attribution alone, I don’t think I can make it complete its Semi-Legend transformation, so we’re still researching a Mechanical Evolution Tool that’s more powerful than the Catastrophe Pistol. But the research process, it’s quite difficult."

"There are only a few days left, and I don’t know if we’ll succeed in the end."

"If we fail, it might just end up as a High-Level Overlord."

"Even if it is a High-Level Overlord, it’s not an ordinary one. To use internet language, that would be the peak of High-Level Overlords, an invincible High-Level Overlord," Pig God said. "You guys are already very strong."

Lu Ran gazed at the moon, his attitude not one of modesty, but rather echoing the feedback from No. 18 that this task was indeed proving to be quite difficult.

Even more so than creating an Elemental Life Device.

The success of the Elemental Life Device was largely due to the juice of the Six Paths Flower, and even then, the result was just a lower-tier extraordinary being.

This time, however, what Lu Ran asked No. 18 to do was to devise a Semi-Legendary evolution pathway for its Overlord Machinery...

Lu Ran was aware of the difficulty, so he had prepared for the possibility of not succeding.

He would first let Yun Bao normally go through "Fusion Traits" evolution in the Evolutionary Secret Realm. There was no need to rush; the Mechanical Evolution Tools could be armed later when they were fully perfected.

However, if it evolved normally, Lu Ran couldn’t guarantee that Yun Bao would definitely receive the blessings of the secret realm.

Its Roc Intent as a foundation allowed it to dominate at the first phase of evolution, but it might not be the case during the second phase.

After the first phase of evolution, Yun Bao’s fused attributes included Magnification and Attribute switching, neither of which were particularly strong enhancements to its evolution foundation, including the upcoming "Fusion" trait as well.

Now, with the onset of the Overlord Era, Lu Ran wasn’t the only one who could single-pass through the Legendary Secret Realm. Pioneers like the Ten Great Kings were also capable of soloing through level six of the Legendary Secret Realm, though perhaps not as easily as Lu Ran who could do it with all his Pet Beasts. But in the end, their scores would be perfect too, and the rewards wouldn’t be much different.

If there were no Mechanical Armament Evolution Tools, then the foundation of Yun Bao’s second phase evolution could possibly be limited to just that one serving of epic cuisine...

But in cooking those Epic cuisines, the main direction Lu Ran adjusted the nutrition was to enhance the Growth Level, so it didn’t much improve the foundation for evolution or Racial Talents.

And this Evolutionary Secret Realm was going to be the last one before the World War. Without any surprises, Beast Trainers of the caliber like the Ten Great Kings would likely evolve all their remaining Pet Beasts in one breath, and it was possible to evolve several at the same time.

The competitive intensity had greatly increased, including the contention for Evolution Energy.

"How about letting Mr. Husky evolve first?"

"No good. If I don’t evolve in the secret realm, at least I still have the chance to take Mr. Husky to meet the God of Void. The God of Void has Space Attributes, which would suit Mr. Husky."

"But as for Yun Bao, if we miss this opportunity, I have nowhere else to find an Elemental God."

...

Several days later.

As the next second-phase Evolutionary Secret Realm drew closer, Lu Ran routinely practiced clone techniques with a heap of cat avatars.

As time went by, the day finally arrived when No. 18 was supposed to deliver the goods.

However, contrary to Lu Ran’s expectation of No. 18 delivering the goods with delight, this time No. 18 came over looking very downcast, dragging Yun Bao with it.

"Master, I’m sorry."

"I couldn’t finish the tool you asked for within the required time."

It really didn’t get done, huh...

Lu Ran scratched his head but didn’t blame No. 18; it was purely a sudden project of his, and it was a bit much to ask.

"It’s okay," Lu Ran said. "I didn’t give you enough time. It’s my fault."

"You’ve been working hard these days; after we clear the Legendary Secret Realm again, if we get an Epic Enhancement Card, I’ll give it to you to enhance yourself."

"Yun Bao!" Yun Bao also transformed into a little hand, patting No. 18 as if to say it’s okay, actually it also thought the castle Lu Ran mentioned was ugly and not evolving like that was just fine.

"Master------------" No. 18’s tears swirled.

"No, I must not be good enough yet."

"Enough already, that’s plenty!!" Manager Ying’s avatars saw Lu Ran and No. 18 droning on and couldn’t help but say in unison, "So, little guy, which step did your evolution tool get stuck on?"

No. 18 looked towards Manager Ying.

Then it took out the "Mini Mechanical Castle" from Mechanical Space.

She said, "I made the castle from Memory Morphing Metal, which can enlarge or shrink, and as per master’s request, I’ve perfected functions like attack and mounting as well."
