"Now that the Ghost Mother hasn’t found the Reaper Stone yet, if it actually does, we’ll certainly stand to gain."
"But if the God of the Netherworld and the Abyss God go at it over the Reaper Stone on Blue Star, we can kiss Blue Star goodbye..."
Lu Ran nodded frantically.
However, the Ghost Mother is currently guarding the Evil God Seal—could she really leave it to search for the Reaper Stone on Blue Star?
Forget it, that’s not for him to worry about. Maybe she can create a clone or sothing.
Now, Lu Ran was actually more excited about the Attribute Integration ntioned by the Ghost Mother.
After Attribute Integration, could the Dark Crow possibly beco a unique Single Curse System like the Evil God?
Or maybe it could mutate into so other singular and strange Attribute!
"So, by that logic, the Beastmaster Chaos Dragon God should be of the Chaos Attribute..."
"And the Divine Tree that rivals it might not even be of the Grass Attribute anymore, but rather the ’World Series’ ntioned by the Ghost Mother! After all, it’s rumored that the roots of the Divine Tree have connected to the whole world, turning it into an immortal entity akin to the World Tree itself."
"Scary, scary."
"I wonder which Attribute Mr. Husky will end up with after he integrates his. Hopefully, it’ll be unique too. Sword System? Sounds a bit weak."
...
The Third Continent.
Lu Ran and his companions had wasted too much ti searching for the Ghost Mother, so they hurried over here posthaste.
Upon reaching the Third Continent, Lu Ran called the contact number for Death Gun that Bai Lu had given him.
"Are you the guy Bai Lu ntioned?" a frivolous voice ca from the communicator.
"What’s your Infinite City ID?"
"Beast Training King," Lu Ran said. "You’re Death Gun, right?"
Beast Training King...
Upon hearing Lu Ran’s reply, Death Gun’s eyelid twitched. This guy, so arrogant.
"As a Divine Deer Emissary, I’ve never even heard of you before."
Lu Ran laughed: "Lord Divine Deer teaches us to keep a low profile."
Death Gun: ?
"That ID of yours doesn’t sound low profile at all."
"I hope I’ll hear more of your exploits in the future."
"Enough chitchat, you’re looking to enter that chanical Ruin, right?"
"Since you can’t even secure an exploration slot, I’ll assu you’re a rookie in the chanic field. Listen up to what I’m about to tell you."
"First, let introduce the background of this ruin."
"This chanical Ruin dates back to the end of the chanical Era and is one of the chanical heritage relics established from that ti."
"As you know, many disasters occurred during that ti, and humans created nurous shelters and inheritance bases. This is one of them. However, I must tell you, the most core items inside the ruin have already been taken by the Legendary Machinists from the Star-Moon Federation. What’s left now are chanical resources which might be useful to novice chanists. Are you still interested?"
"This..." Upon hearing that the ruin had been gutted, Lu Ran felt like his heart was bleeding.
Really, couldn’t you guys be a little slower?
"What I’m actually looking for is a research-assistant type chanical intelligent life form. Is there still a way to obtain such a thing from this ruin?" Lu Ran asked.
"Oh," Death Gun said. "There’s still a chance, but at most what you could get would be equivalent to a smart chanical assistant of the Dominator Species."
"It might be a good partner for a low-level Beast Trainer, but for soone like you, a Divine Deer Emissary, it’s probably pretty useless. However, if you’re starting from scratch with chanics, an intelligent chanical assistant of the Dominator Species should suffice."
Lu Ran was speechless.
You’re telling I bought a chanical Light Sword, but all the treasure in the chanical Ruin has already been picked clean by others?
Even though I have the Lucky Flower, why do I feel like my luck is even worse than before?
Dominator Level... Obviously, it’s not enough to lead Xia Country’s research into the chanic Series; even if it could evolve through Fusion Traits, its foundation is too poor. At the very least, it should have started as a Monarch.
No, wait...
Sothing’s not right.
It must have been the way I opened the Lucky Flower that was incorrect.
Lu Ran suddenly realized.
I was being stubborn.
The Lucky Flower clearly brought a shortcut!
"Death Gun, right? Do you have a way to get a more advanced intelligent chanical life?"
"Since there’s nothing good left in the ruins, help get a powerful intelligent life."
"You can do it, right?"
"I can, but it will cost double the money."
If money can solve the problem, why bother exploring on my own? I used to have money but no way to buy, so I had to explore myself. But now, isn’t there a ready channel?
Death Gun: ???
"You Divine Deer Emissaries are so annoying," Death Gun grumbled. Whether it was being approached by Bai Lu or this Beast Training King.
Do I look like soone short of money?
The salary given by the God of the Netherworld is more than I could ever spend, alright?
The Netherworld is full of the bones of high-level creatures. I could just pick a few and sell them to live comfortably for a long ti. Who is looking down on whom?
"Brother Dead Gun, I’m begging you..."
Lu Ran shalessly said, "I really need this."
"Please take care of a newbie colleague."
Death Gun was speechless. Such a low stance?
"Fine, I’ll send you the location. You send the money, and I’ll get you an intelligent chanical life. You owe a favor," Death Gun finally relented, helplessly.
Because for him, it indeed wasn’t a difficult task.
"Alright," Lu Ran smiled and said, "Bro, you’re the best."
Is this considered aiding the enemy... I hope Death Gun doesn’t turn the gun on when he finds out my real identity...
Shortly after, Lu Ran arrived at the location specified by Death Gun. The fully-ard Death Gun raised an eyebrow at the approaching Lu Ran, feeling a sense of familiarity. His tactical goggles automatically initiated a facial recognition scan for Lu Ran’s identity, but of course, it ca up empty.
It was normal for Death Gun’s scan to co up empty because Lu Ran had already utilized Super Beast Mimicry to gain control over his body’s physical features, making so changes to his face, commonly known as disguise.
Even if the Star-Moon Federation had circulated photos and portraits of Lu Ran, it was now impossible to recognize him by simple ans.
"You seem to have a lot of money?"
"The price of a research-type advanced intelligent life is dozens of tis that of a top-grade Pet Beast cub."
"Is this enough?" Lu Ran still chose to barter.
Death Gun received the Spatial Equipnt thrown by Lu Ran and glanced inside, slightly taken aback.
A bunch of World’s Rare Resources...
Are the Divine Deer that wealthy?
"Barely enough. I’ve already contacted soone to get the chanical intelligent life for you. This thing is not easy to co by, especially those of the Monarch Species level and above."
"I can’t guarantee what type it will be, so don’t be picky," he said.
"Okay." Lu Ran had no issues with that, of course. After all, he was not the one bonding with it; as long as the Level was up to standard, it was fine.
But the price was a bit steep.
After this deal, Lu Ran had nearly depleted the resources he had looted from the Empire, including those exchanged for Enhancent Cards and fed to the Pet Beasts...
Lu Ran was already looking forward to his next trip to the Breakthrough Secret Realm to restock.
"Oh, the ssage is here." As he spoke, Death Gun received a virtual video call through his tactical glasses, simultaneously processing the information and saying to Lu Ran:
"Heh, you’re quite lucky. It’s an android. These types of research-type intelligent life are generally more useful."
"Uh, an android???"
"Male or female?" He asked subconsciously. Was it the kind of android he was thinking of?
"How would this thing have a gender? But if you’re talking about appearance, it’s female. The apparent age is about 2 years old, currently in cryostasis. The Growth Level is quite low; you’ll need to raise it yourself."
