115 Chapter 84 Initial Formation of the Squad_1
Lu Ran was at a loss for words.
"Speak your mind."
"Why are you layering so many coats of armor?"
"Are you a King of Sudden Death too?"
Lu Ran felt that his superior, the Little White Dragon, was truly a sly old fox.
With the other party putting it like that, what could Lu Ran say? He could only respond, "Uncle Zhao, what are you talking about..."
"If I had known it was you, would I not trust you?"
"In a couple of months, I'll be going back to school, and Green Sea City really does need someone with your extensive experience to offer guidance."
The Little White Dragon, this senior officer, was also a First Generation Beast Trainer.
However, he was the kind of Beast Trainer whose Pet Beast had been severely injured in the Secret Realm, and had retired early from combat, disillusioned and disheartened.
After retiring, he had been recruiting novices for the government, leveraging his wide network of contacts.
Unfortunately, limited by his strength, although he held an important leadership position in the recruitment department for novices at the Beast Trainer Management Bureau, his hopes for promotion had always been slim.
"Ha-ha, I know all about it. You have the special superpower to communicate with animals. I'm not familiar with these Extraordinary Beings, so I won't be giving uneducated guidance."
"When I get there, I'll help manage and communicate with civilian Beast Trainers, draw in more business and talent, develop the economy of Green Sea, and expand the Beast Training force of Green Sea."
Zhao Chen was very clear in his own mind.
His old friend had transferred him to Green Sea to become the president of the Beast Trainer Association not to target Doctor Gu or Lu Ran.
Instead, he valued the development potential of the Beast Training special district and hoped to enhance his resume by moving him there.
If Green Sea City genuinely developed, his own path to promotion would be smoother.
Therefore, Zhao Chen knew what he should and shouldn't do after being transferred to Lu Ran's side.
He just needed to maintain a good relationship with Lu Ran. Lu Ran's potential far outstripped his own.

Although he was the president, in reality, Lu Ran was the most important person in Green Sea City.
The better Lu Ran's prospects for development, the better off he would be.
"Great, then I'll rely on you, Uncle Zhao," said Lu Ran. Having lived here for so long, he naturally hoped Green Sea would develop nicely.
"Of course, of course. When will you be free, Lu Ran? Once I get to Green Sea, let's meet in person. You just mentioned you will be going to school in two months, so you must know about Beast Training University's freshman competition, right?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"I've got an important piece of intelligence. If students from a city who enroll in Beast Training University can achieve high rankings in the freshman competition, that's also an important indicator of the city's Beast Training potential. With you in Green Sea City, along with the Five Poison Sect's Saintess Fang Lan, you're bound to make a name for yourselves."
"However, it would be even better to have as many potential Beast Trainers as possible. So, when I get there, I aim to gather young Beast Trainers who are interested in applying to Beast Training University and train them during this period."
"If they too can achieve good rankings in Beast Training University's freshman competition, the development prospects for Green Sea City will undoubtedly be even better..."
"Do you need my help with anything?" Now that Lu Ran was tied to the fortunes of Green Sea City, the more developed it became, the more resources he'd have.
"Actually, I do!" said Zhao Chen. "There's a bunch of young Beast Trainers at Green Sea University and various high schools in Green Sea City. But it's not easy to train them. Since you can communicate with wild Mutant Beasts, is there any chance you could find a few powerful ones to act as 'sparring partners' and toughen them up? That way, we'd ensure safety and achieve training goals."
"That's an interesting idea," Lu Ran pondered. "That shouldn't be a problem."
"But I'll need to charge them for their work, so we'll need to deduct it from the city's budget!" I can help, but I can't spend my own money!
"Sure, we can talk about the details later!"
After hanging up the phone with Zhao Chen, Lu Ran contemplated the idea of having powerful Extraordinary Beings from the wild serve as sparring partners for Green Sea City's novice Beast Trainers. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It was indeed a good idea.
He could potentially develop a similar business model in the future, start a "Beast-Beast Sparring" company to earn crystal coins... Training in Secret Realms wasn't for everyone, and as the number of Beast Trainers increased, this service was sure to boom.
Zhao Chen's intent was clear to Lu Ran; it was like high schools aiming for high college admission rates. If a few Beast Trainers from Green Sea City were to dominate the top ten rankings at Beast Training University's freshman competition, who would dare to say that Green Sea City was inferior to the provincial capitals?
If that happened, the country would also invest heavily in Green Sea, benefitting both Lu Ran, the King of Green Sea, and Zhao Chen, the president of the Beast Trainer Association.
In summary, for Green Sea City to develop, they couldn't just rely on wild Extraordinary Beings; the prospects for fourth-generation Beast Trainers were also vital.
At that moment, Mr. Husky had already flopped down on the carpet to nap, and Lu Ran took out his phone to call Fang Lan.
Before long.
With dark circles under her eyes, Fang Lan arrived at Lu Ran's house.
Seeing her, Lu Ran was startled.
"Did you get stung by a scorpion?"
"You're the one who got stung by a scorpion! I just pulled an all-nighter studying toxicology... then I went out to collect venom during the day, and I haven't had a chance to rest." As soon as Fang Lan walked in, her pent-up energy was released, and she flopped down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and mumbled, "Tea... tea..."
"Here, a cup to keep you awake and alert." Helplessly, Lu Ran fetched a cup of Ice Honey Tea.
Fang Lan struggled to her feet, took a sip, and immediately felt more alert. Exhaling, she said, "You're doing pretty well. I've already seen it on my phone. First, you hit the chart with the number five Infinite City, then you returned to the number three spot with Fusion Traits... it was a hit right from the start, how lucky you are! Everyone online is discussing whether you're a reincarnated lucky one."
