31 Chapter 27 Version Update_1
Lu Ran felt like he was asking a question to an empty room.
But he indeed had so thoughts about learning a secondary vocation.
In Infinite City, the three most popular lifestyle vocations are the Nutritionist, Pharmacist, and Forging Master.
If a Pet Beast wants to level up, aside from combat practice and daily training, it mainly relies on diet.
Seventy percent eating, thirty percent training.
Choosing different ingredients and reasonably matching a Pet Beast's diet can make the Pet Beast's Growth Level rise faster.
As for how to match, that's what Nutritionists study.
Pharmacists, just like Nutritionists, are also like fathers to combat Beast Trainers.
In Infinite City, healing Pet Beasts are rare, and so are healing Beast Trainers.
If a Beast Trainer and their Pet Beast are seriously injured or poisoned in a Secret Realm, they usually rely on a Pharmacist to save their lives with their concocted dicine and antidotes.
When a typical Beast Trainer challenges a Secret Realm, they will have a lot of dicinal potions prepared in advance in their backpack in case of ergency. Of course, the healing effect of these potions certainly can't compare to the healing skills of a healing Pet Beast.
The last one, the Forging Master, leans more towards serving Beast Trainers instead of Pet Beasts, after all, not many Pet Beasts need to wear equipnt or use items.
But since the Beast Trainers themselves are relatively weaker, it's necessary for them to be fully equipped.
These three vocations are the mainstream secondaries in Infinite City. As for other lifestyle vocations, they are sowhat more niche.
Frankly speaking, Lu Ran was quite interested in learning all three vocations; after all, they all seed very useful.
But finding a systematic way to learn these trades didn't seem easy; it was probably better to wait for the establishnt of the Beast Training University.
At that ti, one could choose not to enroll in the Combat Departnt and instead learn a secondary vocation.
After purchasing two swords, Lu Ran bid farewell to Master Lin.
With these two items, Lu Ran could go back and practice swordsmanship with Mr. Husky.
He hoped that practicing with extraordinary weapons would be far more efficient than with a Wooden Sword or Iron-Chopping Sword!
"Mr. Husky, let's go."
This ti, Lu Ran didn't recall Mr. Husky. Instead, he let it tag along with him outside.
A man and his dog walked down the street.
"Woof."
"I haven't forgotten, we're going to buy you food right now," Lu Ran replied, shrugging his shoulders. Right now, it was difficult to tailor a special nutritional al for Mr. Husky.
For now, he would prepare sothing for Mr. Husky according to the general Wind Attribute Beast diet recomnded in the Beast Training Manual.
The pig's trotters, canned food, chicken, and beef at ho were not bad, but they definitely weren't suitable for the extraordinary Mr. Husky now.
If he wanted it to level up quickly, just like other Beast Trainers, he would need to use ingredients dropped from the Secret Realm.
So Secret Realms drop "Extraordinary Poultry at" or "Extraordinary Beast at", both of which have higher nutritional value than ordinary ats.
Besides, the variety of vegetables and seasonings are even more abundant than in reality.
"Woof-woof."
As Lu Ran walked, he pondered how much food to buy for Mr. Husky later.
He should probably decide based on the price?
Originally he thought ten thousand crystal coins was a lot, but now it felt like it was hardly enough.
He wondered how those other beginners who didn't get an S rating were managing.
"Woof-woof."
"What's up, hm?" Lu Ran wondered, as Mr. Husky kept reminding him that there was an acquaintance ahead.
An acquaintance? Who could it be?
The streets of Infinite City were lined with towering trees of unknown species, their dark green leaves rustling in the wind.
Looking up, Lu Ran saw a young man running side by side with a wild boar on the sidewalk; seed like they were exercising?
"Huff, huff..."
"Hoo-hoo..."
The two seed to have been running for a while. As Lu Ran faced the oncoming pair, he rembered they were the sa people from yesterday's attribute test. It was the pig-raiser - Mr. Husky really had a good mory.
"It's you!!!"
At that mont, the young pig-raiser also saw Lu Ran, and he and his Pet Beast stopped.
He hadn't expected to run into Lu Ran again just a day later.
Even though both tested their attributes at the sa place and they both had a "birth point" not far away, this area was clearly at so distance from the residential district.
"I rember you're called, Passerby A, right?" the young pig-raiser said with surprise.
"Um, are you guys... exercising?" asked Lu Ran.
"Yeah, just simple physical training. Going to the Training Secret Realm costs money, and we can manage these basic exercises outside," the pig-raiser explained.
Hearing his words, Lu Ran coughed dryly in his mind.
Compared to the other's frugality, he seed to have been a bit too extravagant.
"Snort, snort." However, his Pet Beast seed quite dissatisfied with its Beast Trainer's penny-pinching ways.
It was probably because its als were being skimped on.
"Hey, can we be friends?" The pig farr suddenly had an idea, his eyes lit up as he spoke to Lu Ran.
"We could team up to conquer secret realms in the future."
The pig farr rembered Sister Hua ntioning that Lu Ran's initial rating wouldn't be low, and like him, he had a lot of potential.
Being a stranger in a strange land, it was always good to make more friends.
"Sure... although I probably won't be challenging any secret realms in the near future," Lu Ran said, not rejecting the friend request.
As they exchanged Beast Trainer identification numbers, Lu Ran asked, "Have you joined the official ranks with that Sister Hua?"
The pig farr shook his head, "No, I've just registered my identity with Sister Hua in real life, and I decided to join a guild."
"A guild?" Lu Ran was rather surprised.
The pig farr scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, "I urgently need a big sum of money, and that guild offers better pay."
"What kind of benefits?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
"As soon as you beco a full mber, you imdiately get 2 million crystal coins for growth funding."
"That much?" Lu Ran was taken aback. 2 million just for joining... To be honest, that would tempt a lot of people.
But then again, the dicine Pavilion Guild seed to have ntioned that they provide housing for full mbers. They're really splurging to recruit people.
"It's conditional, there will be an assessnt, and right now I can only be considered a probational mber. If I don't pass the assessnt a month from now, I can't beco a full mber," explained the pig farr.
"I heard it's quite difficult; that guild in Infinite City No. 3 is an elite guild and only takes in the best of the best. My C grade rating isn't much to speak of. Sister Hua knows my situation; she suggested I try out this guild first. If I can't make it through, it's not too late to consider joining the official ranks then," he added.
"Good luck," Lu Ran said.
The pig farr was probably from the countryside. Lu Ran's grandparents were also villagers, and his grandfather made a living hunting. He understood that many areas are still quite impoverished compared to the cities, and it's only natural to desire a large sum of money to improve one's life.
For the pig farr, Infinite City might very well be his only chance to change his fate and cross class boundaries.
"Are you heading to the Beast Training Plaza in that direction?" the pig farr asked.
"Yeah, I need to buy him so food," Lu Ran replied, looking at Mr. Husky, who was showing an eager desire to fight the wild pig.
"Snort snort," the wild pig looked at Mr. Husky with disdain.
Mr. Husky: ???
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, I need to buy him so food too. Let's go together," the pig farr suggested.
But before Lu Ran could reply, their expressions froze simultaneously as they looked up at the sky.
No, it was the entire Infinite City No. 3, or rather, all Beast Trainers within every Infinite City in the world, who were stunned.
The familiar notification chi sounded abruptly in their ears.
[Detected that more than 100,000 Beast Trainers have passed the beginner's trial.]
[Proceeding with updates to the Infinite City facilities...]
[Adding new Infinite City structure: Divine Pet List.]
[The Divine Pet List is located in the center of the Beast Training Plaza in each Infinity City. It consists of four leaderboards: extraordinary race list, Dominator Species list, Monarch Species list, and Overlord Clan list, each recording the top ten positions.]
[Settlent of the leaderboards takes place once a month, and at settlent ti, the ranked Beast Trainers will receive a substantial amount of crystal coins and other rewards depending on their ranking.]
[Requirents for inclusion: each leaderboard will only list Pet Beasts of the corresponding race, and there are certain entry restrictions. Your Pet Beast's potential within the race will be assessed based on its performance in Secret Realms and arenas; please actively challenge secret realms and engage in Beast Training duels.]
[Next update milestone: When the number of Beast Trainers reaches one million.]
The announcent ca swiftly and left just as quickly.
After the announcent had completely faded, Infinite City, which had fallen into sudden silence, imdiately erupted into chaos.
Whether they were experts or novices, everyone was captivated by the update.
At every Infinite City's Beast Training Plaza, any nearby Beast Trainers could see huge four-sided steles suddenly erected amidst dazzling light.
On the grayish-white steles, the black and gold letters shimred.
Extraordinary list: First place, vacant. Second place, vacant. Third...
Dominator list: ...
Mon...
Each side of the stele unveiled a leaderboard, but thus far, all rankings were blank.
"Damn, there are already 100,000 Beast Trainers worldwide? What the hell happened these past few days?" Beast Trainer after Beast Trainer was taken by surprise.
"My God, stingy Infinite City is finally willing to shell out crystal coins! This wretched place finally has a facility to distribute benefits."
"Divine Pet List? With only ten spots, I'm dood to be the man it can't get."
"Stop talking, I'm going to challenge the secret realms right now. Maybe I can get on the list for a few minutes before anyone else and boast about it for life with a screenshot."
On a small path through the woods still so distance from the Beast Training Plaza, two Novice Beast Trainers also wore expressions of utter bewildernt.
"Crystal coins..." muttered the pig farr repeatedly, his face changing from eager to shaking his head, seemingly doubting his own strength.
As for Lu Ran next to him, he seed a bit dazed.
"It's over, it's all over, damn it."
Facilities can be updated too? This update caught him completely off guard. He felt utterly backstabbed by Infinite City. With this leaderboard, how was he supposed to develop quietly? It didn't matter if he didn't make the list, but what if he did? Wouldn't it be like announcing to the whole server: Boss Lu and Mr. Husky are aweso.
anwhile, Mr. Husky nodded thoughtfully, his gaze filled with wisdom and sharpness.
The pig farr and the pig looked at them: ???
This man and dog duo seed even more exaggerated than they were.
