Chapter 20: True evolution, joining the special place!

After three simulations of the secret realm, Xu Ran and Kun Kun were too familiar with the lit parts of the map.

We even know what wild supernatural creatures will appear at what minute and where.

After fighting several times, Kun Kun lost interest in these guys who had been defeated by him three times.

Otherwise, with Kun Kun's warlike nature, he would have splashed some water on them.

They continued to harvest extraordinary resources along the way and never encountered any danger.

It feels as relaxing as taking a walk in your own back garden.

Xu Ran and Kun Kun don’t care about the effects of these extraordinary resources. What they value is the energy they contain.

By digesting it through the devouring skill, it becomes the nourishment for Kun Kun's growth.

With the map hack activated, these resources simply could not escape the clutches of the two.

Even faster than in the simulation, half a day later.

The ripples that looked like water and clouds once again surrounded the dazzling creature that looked like a fish and a bird. Under the sunlight, the ripples emitted dazzling light.

The slender and graceful body flowed in the air, and the light reflected by the water ripples shone on the green scales, spreading out in circles.

It is the result of accumulation of knowledge and also practice makes perfect!

Twelve years of accumulation in the Yunmeng Lake and three evolutions in the secret realm.

There was no obstacle at all and everything went smoothly as if it was a natural progression.

At this time, KunKun has evolved into a strange beast from the mountains and seas - the harpoon!

The level was raised to the level of a mid-level lord in one fell swoop!

But even if he is only a middle-level lord and has not received further training based on his racial characteristics, Kun Kun's combat power is enough to match that of twenty and a half high-level lords!

This is the mountain and sea monster, the harpoon, with the racial potential of a medium-level hegemon!
"finally……"

Xu Ran looked at Kun Kun in front of him and felt a little emotional.

It took nearly a month, four simulations, three deaths, and more than twenty resources in the secret realm to obtain Kun Kun, who has now reached the strength of a mid-level lord.

"Hey~"

The sound became more ethereal than before. Kun Kun was responding to Xu Ran, expressing its joy.

After the race broke through, Kun Kun's intelligence became higher than before.

After Kun Kun’s breakthrough, it is continuously feeding back and nourishing Xu Ran’s body.

Xu Ran felt this feedback and judged that in another month and a half, he would be able to break through to the level of a second-level Beastmaster.

By that time, your levels in all aspects will have improved.

The relationship between the Beastmaster and the Beastmaster is one of mutual support and promotion of each other's growth.

A stream of water was summoned by Kun Kun, trying to wipe the mud off Xu Ran's face.

But Xu Ran refused.

At this moment, Xu Ran looked like a beastmaster who had been exploring in the wild swamp for a long time and was so tired that he didn't even care about his appearance.

There were several holes in his clothes, and mud and plant juice had dried on them.

Coupled with Xu Ran's genuine feeling of weakness at the moment, no one who saw it would doubt that he had been training in Daye Lake for many days.

"Isn't this coming?"

Xu Ran smiled, and the familiar red cloud appeared in his sight.

Standing alertly, staring straight at the red clouds in the distance, even Kun Kun was floating motionless in the air.

Afterwards, he rode on KunKun again and made a gesture as if to retreat.

When the distance between the two sides was shortened to a certain extent, he decisively rode Kun Kun away.

After a set of movements, he vividly portrayed the image of a beastmaster who had been trained in the wilderness. In his heart, Xu Ran gave himself a full score for this operation.

Just like in the simulation, a lion with a mane that looked like flaming fire, floating in the air, followed.

As long as Xu Ran did not burst out at his full speed, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

"Old Xu, don't run!"

A familiar voice sounded in Xu Ran's ears.

The corners of Xu Ran's mouth curled up slightly, things developed just as he imagined.

But Xu Ran still maintained his performance, as if he turned back in confusion because he heard a familiar voice.

Then they slowly slowed down their speed, and finally, the two parties in pursuit met each other.

"Why are you running?"

Li Fu stuck his head out and talked to Xu Ran with a smile, just as normal as usual. If you ignore the silver bracelet on the other person's hand, it would be a normal conversation between old friends who meet by chance.

But, it can't be ignored at all!

Xu Ran saw the silver bracelet on Li Fu's hand, then looked at another beastmaster in official uniform, pondered for a moment, then took a half step back without saying anything. Li Fu's smile froze.

Are you serious about taking a half step back? Such a small action can cause such great harm!
The reaction was real enough, even though it was a deliberate performance by Xu Ran.

Li Fu seemed to be angry. He took a deep breath and turned to Feng Yun and said.

"Did you see his beast? It was a blue-scaled carp three days ago... but now it has evolved into a mid-level lord. Take him away. It will be a model for studying this new secret realm."

The relationship between Feng Yun and Li Fu is very ambiguous, not like the relationship between an arrester and a criminal suspect.

This is related to the fact that the two of them have learned some inside information to a certain extent.

Of course, the person who knew the most among those present was Li Fu.

Li Fu is involved in every aspect of this pseudo-mythical secret realm!

"Old Li, you cheated me!"

Xu Ran opened his eyes wide and shouted in disbelief, although he already knew Li Fu's intention in the simulation.

Feng Yun sighed and took a step forward.

Even if Li Fu didn't say the second half of the sentence, given their acquaintance and the timing of their appearance in Daye Lake, he couldn't let Xu Yuan leave easily.

He took out his ID from his pocket and showed it to Xu Yuan.

"Special Department, please cooperate with the investigation."

Xu Ran used his personal terminal to scan. Although he already knew the other party's identity and was not mistaken, he nodded helplessly after seeing the message on the terminal and chose to leave with the other party.

Li Fu came closer with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, brother, can I cheat you?"

Xu Ran had a look of disgust on his face, except for a hint of a smile that flashed across his eyes imperceptibly.

……

Half a day later, at the Beastmaster Center, a special place.

Inside a room that looks like an interrogation room.

"Name?"

"Xu Ran."

"age?"

"twenty."

Xu Ran answered honestly. His torn clothes had been changed and he had cleaned himself up. No one in the Special Department made things difficult for him.

The person asking questions opposite Xu Ran was a middle-aged man, also wearing the uniform of the Special Department. He had the aura of a superior and was obviously a senior member of the Special Department.

A light curtain opened in front of the middle-aged man, and information about Xu Ran appeared in front of him.

After a few seconds, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

clean!

So clean!
The file records about Xu Ran recorded on the light curtain were too clean.

No criminal record, no bad habits.

He has been awarded the title of Outstanding Worker for three consecutive years.

Orphans of martyrs.

The Beastmaster Pioneering Corps' C-level protected personnel target.

Not to mention the others, the last two are enough to prove Xu Ran’s identity as a good citizen.

The last two are given by the system on the pioneering corps side.

It would be too costly to infiltrate and forge the system of the Pioneer Corps, and there was no need to forge such a conspicuous identity for Xu Ran.

Regarding the item “C-level protected personnel of the Pioneer Corps”, it can be said that if Xu Ran is willing, then he will be a reserve of the Pioneer Corps.

Remembering the man's instructions before this investigation, Fu Qianli crossed his hands and stood on the table.

"Mr. Xu Ran, you have been involved in a secret plan of the Special Department. Now you have two choices."

"First, hide under the protection of the Special Department until the incident is over. Don't worry, the Special Department will not treat you unfairly in any way."

Fu Qianli promised solemnly.

"So what's the other option?"

Xu Ran asked.

"The other option is..."

"——Join the Special Department!"
