Chapter 32 Chapter 28 Divine Pet List_1
"Let's go take a look at the Beast Training Plaza."
Lu Ran didn't linger too long on the issue.
He just wanted to know what the form of this Divine Pet List was.
And whether it would affect him too much.
"Alright..." The pig raiser nodded, clearly also very interested in the Divine Pet List.
And so, the two of them set out for the Beast Training Plaza with a pig and a dog in tow.
...
In Xia Country's Infinite City number three, the Beast Training Plaza.
At this moment, the plaza had already gathered several hundred people.
Some of the predecessor Beast Trainers were filled with emotion; it was their first time seeing so many Beast Trainers gather in one place.
Right now, everyone was staying near the Divine Pet List, discussing and observing the leaderboard together.
"This list seems to be regional, each Infinite City is calculated separately, my friend from Infinite City number seven sent a message saying that people there have already made it onto the leaderboard."
"Really? If each Infinite City is calculated separately, then it feels like there's hope. It's just unknown how many crystal coins will be awarded when the list is finalized..."
"It's still difficult, the number of Beast Trainers that will appear next is probably going to increase, and it's definitely going to be very competitive."
Crystal coins are the universal currency of Infinite City, used everywhere, and now that there's an additional facility rewarding crystal coins, the Beast Trainers are naturally very pleased.
Lu Ran and the pig raiser seemed to have arrived at just the right time.
Upon their arrival at the Beast Training Plaza, they happened upon the moment when one side of the Divine Pet List went through a change.
[Regional Announcement: Divine Pet List, extraordinary race leaderboard updated.]
[Listed Divine Pet, Race: Black Bear.]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Species Level: High-Level extraordinary]
[Growth Level: Level 8]
[Beast Trainer: Dark Night]
[Reason for Listing: Evolved and mutated from a Black Bear, possesses immense strength, awakened the power of darkness, killed a Medium-Level extraordinary race, Level 10 Demon Cat with a single slap in the simple-level Novice Secret Realm, Demon Cat Forest, two levels above!]
The Divine Pet List for extraordinary races was immediately dominated by the information of this Black Bear, which took the first place on the list.
The people now at the Beast Training Plaza all heard what was referred to as the regional announcement.
Seeing the change in the list, many of the newcomers who had just entered over the past few days were shocked.
A Dark Attribute Black Bear...
What does this person do in real life?
"Who is Dark Night? To start with a pet beast like the Black Bear, and a natural Dark Attribute at that?" The crowd was abuzz.
But as for a Level 8 Dark Attribute Black Bear killing a Level 10 Demon Cat with one slap, it wasn't surprising.
With a higher species level and a rarer, more powerful attribute, it was not strange that it could achieve this feat.
Before people could delve deeper into which force's monster newcomer the ID Dark Night could be, the leaderboard updated again!
[Regional Announcement: Divine Pet List, extraordinary race leaderboard updated.]
[Listed Divine Pet, Race: Tiger.]
[Attribute: Rock]
[Species Level: High-Level extraordinary]
[Growth Level: Level 7]
[Beast Trainer: Long Hudou]
[Reason for Listing: Evolved and mutated from a Northeast Tiger, possesses strong race attributes, awakened the power of mountain rocks, successfully hunted a High-Level extraordinary race, Level 8 Stone Pig by overcoming one level in the regular-level Novice Secret Realm, Wild Boar Valley!]
This change to the list immediately bumped Dark Night, who had held the first position for a mere few seconds, down to second place.
This contracted Siberian Tiger, with the ID Long Hudou, was a fierce contender that leapt to the top, suggesting that Infinite City considered the performance of the Rock Tiger even stronger than the Dark Attribute Black Bear.
"That's, that's amazing..." At this moment, just witnessing two people getting on the list was enough to stun the pig raiser.
He felt completely out of contention for the leaderboard. With both bears and tigers around, his Wild Boar was pretty strong too, but it seemed to be a very challenging task!
"It seems that this extraordinary leaderboard is specifically prepared for the fourth generation of newcomers," someone said at this time.
Besides the countdown for the settlement, there were also a few lines of explanatory text beneath the extraordinary leaderboard.
[Note: The extraordinary race leaderboard only includes pet beasts of new Beast Trainers who have been in service for less than a year.]
[Note: Equipment, items, one-time resources, teammate assistance, and other external forces providing combat enhancements to pet beasts will reduce the weight for listing to a certain extent.]
[Note: ...]
```
"It seems to prevent the old-timers from nurturing new Pet Beasts to snatch resources from the newcomers, but come to think of it, those second and third generation Beast Trainers who fight on the front lines... their Pet Beasts have basically evolved into Dominator Species, right? Those few rankings should be even more intense."
```
```
People were paying attention to the Dominator Species List, Monarch Species List... and as for the Overlord Clan Pet Beasts, they hadn't actually appeared on a global scale yet.
```
```
At this moment, the rankings were updated once again. Since the Divine Pet List had only just appeared, the update frequency seemed especially high.
```
```
This time, it thrilled many, because finally it wasn't the extraordinary list being updated, but rather...
```
```
[Regional Announcement: Divine Pet List, Monarch Species List update.]
```
```
[Enlisted Divine Pet, Race: Nine Star Light Tail Sparrow.]
```
```
[Attribute: Light, Space]
```
```
[Species Level: Lower Monarch]
```
```
[Growth Level: Level 43]
```
```
[Beast Trainer: Xing Chen]
```
```
[Entry Reason: Perfect first-stage evolution, King's Race, possessing two special attributes – light and space, dominating in the difficult, Level 4 Secret Realm – Sky Island with the self-created killing move "Group Star Twinkling," continuously crushing the Lower Monarch Species Level 41 Rin Airspace Giant Snake!]
```
```
"Is it the Star Club President?!"
```
```
Compared to those two unknown newcomers, this ID Xing Chen, the Beast Trainer, seemed to have quite a reputation in Infinite City No.3.
```
```
Seeing him top the Monarch List, the plaza came alive once again as a group of old-timers patiently introduced this person to the newcomers.
```
```
"Xing Chen..."
```
```
"You know him?" Lu Ran asked the pig-raiser beside him, who was mumbling to himself.
```
```
"Yeah, I know him. I joined a guild called Group Star. This Xing Chen... is the president of the guild I joined. Sister Hua said he's a formidable figure among the second-generation Beast Trainers, and his family is into real estate..."
```
```
"Huh, no wonder that guild is so extravagant." Lu Ran's expression froze for a moment, then he thought to himself that his neighborhood, which seemed to be called Starlight, wouldn't also belong to that guy's family, would it?
```
```
Nevermind...
```
```
"I'm not going to watch anymore." By now, Lu Ran had a rough idea of what this Divine Pet List was all about.
```
```
He breathed a sigh of relief, glad that although the Divine Pet List affected him, the impact wouldn't be too significant.
```
```
Fortunately, it was just a portion of battle achievements that would be exposed to many eyes, not some sort of pass-through ranking.
```
```
It was merely capturing a battle highlight, a brilliant performance, which significantly lowered the risk of exposing his epic items.
```
```
Reading the descriptions, most people would definitely focus on the individual performance of the Pet Beasts.
```
```
Although Arctic Dogs were quite common and not very powerful, there were exceptions. It wouldn't be surprising if a strong one suddenly emerged, especially since there were also higher Race Bugs around.
```
```
It was inevitable to draw attention, but at the same time, there would be a substantial reward of crystal coins. You win some, you lose some.
```
```
However, Lu Ran felt that overthinking was futile. After all, considering how fierce the Divine Pets on the list were, it was uncertain whether he and Mr. Husky would even make it onto the list.
```
```
For Mr. Husky to compete with those high-Race Pet Beasts was still very challenging. The only hope lay in its learning ability and Super Beast Mimicry 2.0... to see if it could learn some powerful moves ahead of those high-Race Pet Beasts.
```
```
Lu Ran felt that the Divine Deer Pendant could also assist Mr. Husky in training powerful moves. The main aspect of energy compression techniques was the high load and difficulty in control, but as long as healing of backfires was possible, skill experience could be rapidly increased.
"I'm going to buy something. Do you still want to stay here and watch?" Lu Ran asked the pig-raiser.
```
```
"Ah, not watch anymore?" The pig-raiser looked eagerly at the rankings, as if he wanted to continue watching.
```
``` n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What's the point of looking at this? You can't make it onto the list by just looking. It's better to hurry up and cultivate your Pet Beasts. That way, the chances of making the list might be bigger."
```
```
Lu Ran laughed to himself. Ah, youth... Infinite City is indeed toxic. With this feature introduced, how many guilds and Beast Trainers would roll up their sleeves for the honor of having a Divine Pet? Isn't this just like the ranking competition in online games?
```
```
Wait a second, is the information released by the officials actually true? Could it be that Infinite City was created by some civilization to preserve their legacy and train Beast Trainers?
```
```
...
```
```
Meanwhile, outside in Green Sea City.
```
```
When Fang Lan woke up, she thought it over and decided to do as Lu Ran said, telling her parents that she had been selected to become a Beast Trainer.
```
```
"That's the situation."
```
```
"It's a rare opportunity, especially since I was favored by Doctor Gu! Someone of her stature, you wouldn't want to let her down, right? If you don't support me, I might start crying little spiders."
```
```
Making that into a scare, aren't you? Those are little pearls! Mr. and Mrs. Fang's foreheads were wrinkled with concern, and they remained silent. They had naturally seen the overwhelming news, but...
```
```
What kind of predicament is this?
```
```
Their daughter being chosen should have made them happy, after all, it also signified her talent. But the news also mentioned that the Secret Realms of Infinite City were very dangerous. What parent would want their child to frequently venture into such perilous places – albeit their daughter wasn't exactly a model of docility.
```
```
"No way, it's too dangerous. I forbid you from going into the Secret Realm. It's good to be ordinary. Or as you said, why not pursue that life profession?" Mrs. Fang advised. "How about being a Pet Beast doctor?"
```
```
"How could I? That would be a waste of my high-level extraordinary race! The spider is going to cry. It doesn't know how to heal people; it only knows how to poison them."
```
```
"..." Mr. Fang tried to keep a stern face and said, "Then, as Doctor Gu suggested, why not go to the Beast Training University first? Study well, train hard, and then decide what to do after graduation? At your age... studying is most important, of course, and no dating either, that's an even firmer no!"
```
```
"And about Lu Ran, you better find him fast and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything dangerous... You two, neither of you are worry-free. If something happens to him, how could we face his parents in the future?"
```
```
"I..." Fang Lan was speechless and in disarray, she was already of age – dating wasn't an issue!
```
```
That cursed Lu Ran, he had her come forward to break the news, just so she would be the first to charge into battle to persuade their parents! How could he be so crafty? Why couldn't he learn from Mr. Husky?
```
