Chapter 53: Selling Oneself to Pay Off Debts

Outside the institute.

Everyone looked at the half-collapsed research institute with different expressions.

Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were in a happy mood, but their eyes drifted away, as if they wanted to put aside their responsibilities.

Gu Qingyi smiled.

Manager Ying, on the other hand, looked speechless.

This day the light moved in an instant, and its physical energy was almost exhausted.

Big loss.

"The maintenance fee is 8,000 crystal coins." Store manager Ying said quietly.

"ha??"

Next to him, Lu Ran became anxious when he heard it and said, "You're just kidding."

"It's a joke." Manager Ying glanced at Lu Ran and Mr. Ha and said:

"But it's also a reminder, please don't demolish the load-bearing walls next time..."

Mr. Ha listens with an open mind...

To be honest, it had done this kind of thing on a small scale before, and then it was severely beaten by Lu Ran...

Although Lu Ran took the lead and gave permission this time, Mr. Lu also stood up for it!

Mr. Ha can still distinguish the situation clearly.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect that you could wake it up when it was mentally confused to that extent." Gu Qing said, everyone said that Erha would tear down a house. This time, the owner took Erha to do it together, which was an eye-opener.

However, the results are good.

With Lu Ran's help, Mr. Ha got rid of the shadow of the past and faced the present head-on.

As long as you don't have to lose money... Lu Ran suddenly said: "By the way, the materials from the institute——"

"Don't worry, they are all backed up, and I have memorized them all." Gu Qingyi approached the ruins and said: "Dr. Yunhan's original research in Luhai City was about the spiritual realm of pet beasts. "

"Spiritual attribute, this is a very rare attribute. Although it is not as good as time and space, it is far rarer than the basic element attributes."

"This attribute is connected to the brain and controls the body's potential. You may have heard that people or certain lives can explode extraordinary potential under extreme circumstances. This is a sudden change in mental power, which leads to Exceeding the potential of the physical body.”

"In addition, the spirit is also related to many important skills. For example, the advanced use of shaping skills requires the integration of spiritual will."

"I heard from Manager Ying that you seem to have mastered a technique about momentum, which is also a superficial use of mental power."

"What Dr. Yunhan originally wanted to do was to develop the mental brains of pets to stimulate their potential. Your Erha's madness is an enhanced state that temporarily releases mental restrictions."

"But it's obvious that Dr. Yunhan's research on this topic failed. How can the mental brain be so easy to develop? The experimental subjects at that time were like this, a group of uncontrollable and easily runaway beasts. This research institute also One of the causes of the accident.”

Mr. Ha tilted his head.

"The current situation is that Dr. Yunhan is equivalent to using drugs, technology and other means to forcibly stimulate its brain and create a madness skill for it. The essence of the madness skill is to stimulate the brain and dig out the body. Potential is a good skill, but unfortunately, it cannot maintain sanity during this process, so it is said to be a failed skill..."

"And in daily life, anything that affects its mental state can become a switch for madness, so this situation is extremely dangerous. It is lucky to have met you early.

Lu Ran looked at Mr. Ha, sighed, and said, "How should we solve it?"

"First, through drug rehabilitation and mental hypnosis, make it completely forget the 'mad state'."

"Two, the second attribute awakens the spiritual system. Or use special spiritual resources to strengthen its brain, normalize the madness, completely control it and tap out its current potential."

"This is also the research result of Dr. Yunhan's plan to fully develop the basic potential of pets. However, because the resources to strengthen mental power are too rare, they only provide a slight increase in potential, which is not cost-effective, so this research ended in failure. "

"After all, there are many ways to enhance and develop the potential of pet beasts. There is no need to hang yourself on this road."

Lu Ran opened his mouth slightly and looked at Mr. Ha, who tilted his head, and then at Store Manager Ying.

He was afraid that the next sentence from Manager Ying would be, "Drug information, 1,000 crystal coins, thank you for your patronage. Mental resource information, 1,000 crystal coins, thank you for your patronage."

"Don't look at me." Manager Ying walked away. Although it could find a way, since Gu Qingyi admired Lu Ran, it directly gave Gu Qingyi the opportunity to send favors.

Lu Ran's potential is indeed good and is worth cultivating...but it's a pity that the contract is with a dog and he doesn't like it.

"Very confused, right?"

"If I were asked to choose, I would choose the last one." Gu Qingyi said: "If you completely forget it, wouldn't it have suffered so much in vain?"

Mr. Ha nodded heavily.

"It is most appropriate to help it merge into this state by strengthening its spiritual power. By then, its racial foundation will become stronger."

"Although the price/performance ratio is not high, since you have chosen it as your partner, all the investment is worth it."

"As for the way to strengthen spiritual power, I don't recommend choosing spirituality as the second attribute."

"Spiritual beasts are rare. It cannot control the madness on its own, which means that its adaptability to the spiritual system is not high. You should know that if the awakened secondary attributes, or the new characteristics of the fusion, are different from the pet beast's If the adaptability is not high, it will affect the future evolution of the beast. "

"So, I prefer to use disposable resources to strengthen its spiritual power."

"What resources are needed? Which secret realm can be exploded? Where can I buy it?" Lu Ran agreed with the other party's suggestion, and he also felt that it was unreliable to awaken Gouzi's spiritual system.

Moreover, using one-time resources to strengthen its spiritual power does not conflict with awakening the spiritual system. The latter has to wait until Mr. Ha reaches level 10, which is still very early. The most important thing now is to solve Mr. Ha's situation as soon as possible.

"Spiritual resources are extremely rare and cannot be dropped from the novice secret realms that you have access to." Gu Qingyi said:

"Nothing you can buy will solve its problems."

Lu Ran also showed a faint look, feeling... that he had been tricked again.

This cat and Dr. Gu are definitely connected!

Next, you won’t have to sell your own resources again!

Why do you feel like you can’t have any left over the 10,000 crystal coins you got from killing the necromancer?

"So, Dr. Gu, do you have such resources..." Lu Ran finally asked.

"Smart!" Gu Qingyi smiled slightly.

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and took out a white five-petal flower from the space.

【Name】：Carona flower

[Level]: Rare

[Introduction]: The magical power of healing, strengthening the spirit, and tapping the potential of the body blooms on the back of the Dorocarona turtle.

"This is a resource that will only be dropped by the Duocalona Turtle when you conquer the King race creature. It is also the resource that is currently most perfectly adapted to it." Gu Qingyi said.

At this time, Lu Ran covered his chest.

Mr. Ha took a step forward.

"Woof?" Mr. Ha looked at Lu Ran, whose liver ached, puzzled.

"How much, how much..." The corner of Lu Ran's mouth twitched.

"I'll give it to you for free." Gu Qingyi smiled.

"Ah?" Lu then took a step back.

To be honest, he was a little scared.

His parents have told him since he was a child that free things are the most expensive, so don’t be cheap and don’t owe favors easily.

It is true that Dr. Gu, who is fair-skinned and beautiful, looks like a rich woman, but if it is said to be free, he will never feel at ease.

Might as well let him be in debt.

It just so happened that he, who had no worries about food and clothing, also wanted to experience the suffering of the world and experience the feeling of repaying a loan.

"Haha..." As if he could see Lu Ran's worry, Gu Qing smiled and said, "Aren't you worried?"

"Then think of it as an investment."

"In the future, I may also need some help from you."

"Me?" Lu Ran was confused.

Gu Qingyi said: "Yes, although my level is far higher than yours now, there are some things that I cannot do myself."

"Secret realm?!" Lu Ran asked.

"I like talking to smart people."

"The levels of secret realms are divided into novice secret realms, first-level secret realms, and second-level secret realms... Every time the beast master improves by one level, a new advanced secret realm will be opened."

"But similarly, after contacting high-level secret realms, low-level secret realms will not be accessible."

"And some special resources will only be dropped in specific secret realms."

"So even if you are a high-level beast master, it is not easy to obtain certain materials in low-level secret realms. You can only buy them from others."

"However, due to the limited number of beast masters, the cost of conquering secret realms is too high. So far, there are still some secret realms that have not been conquered, or in other words, secret realms that are more difficult and no one is willing to challenge. In addition, Infinite City will update new ones regularly. There are different levels of secret realms, and each level of beastmaster has its own value."

"You are considered a very good one among the fourth generation beast masters. When I need some rare materials in the future, I may ask you for help. This is also the reason why the country attaches great importance to the cultivation of fourth generation beast masters. Even low-level beast masters, It can also be of great help to senior beast masters.”

"If you can accept it, this Carona flower can be used as my deposit until you help me obtain materials of equal value, and we will settle the payment."

Lu Ran looked at this resource. He could accept this statement, so he said, "Okay, but then again, if it's a secret realm that I can't defeat... I won't go there."

Making money by selling materials in secret realms was originally what he wanted to do in the future.

The exposed materials are not for sale to anyone.

But now, instead of choosing the secret realm at will, I have now entered the secret realm with the needs of the sponsor sister.

This thing doesn't look cheap. It seems that I will have to work hard to pay off the debt.

"So, are you happy to cooperate?" Gu Qing said.

"Ouch~~~" At this time, Mr. Ha couldn't wait anymore and looked straight at the flower in Gu Qingyi's hand, so whether this was for it to eat.

"Eat, eat." Gu Qingyi bent down slightly and handed the white five-petaled carona flower to Mr. Ha.

Lu Ran saw this and said nothing.

What makes Lu Ran happy is that Mr. Ha, a bitch, still has himself in his eyes, and has not been eaten into a coma.

Seeing Gu Qingyi hand over the fragrant dessert, although Mr. Ha wanted to eat it, he still glanced at Lu Ran and asked.

"Eat." Lu Ran finally said.

"Ouch!" The next moment, Mr. Ha swallowed the carona flower in a good mood.

at the same time.

As resources are consumed, the effects of the Corona Flower take effect quickly.

"Woo——" Mr. Ha suddenly felt a coolness in his brain, but strangely, his whole body felt completely different.

"Woof!"

It spun in circles.

Bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared, disappeared suddenly, and then repeated.

"It's taking effect. If nothing unexpected happens, it will completely integrate the power after the frenzy. The racial foundation will be slightly improved. It may not cross the level, but the physical fitness will be much stronger than it is now."

"It's probably like the physical fitness of a purebred husky to the transformation of the Arctic wolf king. At the same level, the basic attributes will be much stronger." Gu Qingyi said.

"In addition... during this process, his growth level should also be improved."

"You can take a look at his contract card."

Originally, Lu Ran was still observing Mr. Ha, but at this moment, with Gu Qingyi's reminder, Lu Ran quickly took out Mr. Ha's contract card.

This look made Lu Ran stunned.

[Race]: Snow Dog

[Attribute]: Wind

[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary

[Growth Level]: Level 9

Mr. Ha's growth level has risen three levels in a short period of time, from level 6 to level 9!

Is this the growth brought about by tapping the potential of the body?

"It's actually level 9... Mr. Ha, how do you feel?" Lu Ran asked Mr. Ha.

At this time, Mr. Ha has changed from being confused at the beginning to being excited.

There was no blood in his eyes, and they returned to a deep blue.

"Ahhh."

It suppressed its "powerful" strength, nodded, looked at Gu Qingyi fondly, stretched out its paws, and seemed to want to ask if there was any more.

Mr. Ha now understood why the pets in the park wanted to match Mr. Lu with their owners.

Rich people are really attractive.

The food this sister took out was much more exciting than the food Lu Ran prepared for it!

"No more." Gu Qingyi turned around, making Mr. Ha stiff.

"Stupid dog, too greedy, do you want me to work for a lifetime?" Lu Ran's face also turned black.

"When you were level 6, you were ranked first in the regional pet list. Now you are level 9, which should be considered as catching up with the first echelon. I hope you can become the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster... not only in the No. 3 Infinite City, but also in Xia Country and even in the world."

Gu Qingyi returned to her original expression and said, "Let me think about it. By the way, do you have the first trait you like?"

"Yes, the weapon control trait dropped from the Abyss Difficulty·Novice Secret Realm·Abandoned Test Site." Lu Ran said, "Originally, I wanted to buy a guide when I went to the cat-ear maid cafe this time..."

"Weapon control?" After Lu Ran finished speaking, Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying, who had walked away, spoke at the same time.

Among them, Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Hahahaha... I'm dying of laughter." Manager Ying laughed and said, "You can persuade him yourself."

"When I saw his Husky using a sword, I had a hunch that he would take a non-mainstream breeding route. Now it seems that it is indeed true. If I remember correctly, the first generation of beastmaster Shen Die Xia, who also has the background of Tianhong Dojo, is the one who integrated this trait, right?" Manager Ying recalled.

"Yes, that Sha Die Xia is my senior brother." Lu Ran was speechless, laughing at a hammer!

Gu Qingyi said: "Then you should know that if the integrated trait does not match yourself, it may lead to the failure of future evolution, as I said just now."

"You insist... on letting your Husky try to integrate the weapon control trait?"

"Do you want to copy your senior brother's path and integrate the anthropomorphic trait in the future? Let it evolve towards humanoid type?"

"Ying, so far, has there been any beastmasters in the world whose pets have completed perfect evolution through the 'weapon control trait'?"

"No." Ying said.

"Look, do you want to reconsider it?" Gu Qingyi asked Lu Ran.

Lu Ran pondered.

Gu Qingyi continued:

"At present, there are two most mainstream evolutionary routes for snow dogs. One is to awaken the ice and wind attributes, integrate the 'king characteristics' and 'ancient soul characteristics', and revert to the 'incarnation of the north wind, the North Wind Wolf King'."

"Or, replace the wind attribute with the light attribute and evolve into the 'Aurora Wolf King'."

"The second is to awaken the ice and rock attributes, integrate the 'giant characteristics' and 'permafrost characteristics', and evolve into the 'moving iceberg, ice and rock monster'..."

"These are all certified perfect evolutionary types. Of course, the werewolf route is also an option, but it is not very suitable for snow dogs. The most important thing is to integrate the weapon control characteristics, which is even more difficult."

"In addition..." Gu Qingyi looked at Lu Ran and found that Lu Ran was not moved at all, so she shook her head.

"It seems that you have made up your mind." She was very headache.

"Let me tell you, I'm doing evolution research, and I know the difficulty of taking a completely new evolutionary route, not to mention that it's based on weapon control, a trait that no beastmaster has ever been able to control..."

"If it succeeds, it's certainly worth celebrating, and it will make you famous in the beastmaster field, but if it fails..."

"Actually..." Lu Ran said with a blazing look in his eyes, "Actually, I've figured out a way for Mr. Ha to perfectly control this trait and perform perfect evolution. Otherwise, let me tell you, Doctor, can you give me some advice?"
