"Lu Ping'an is looking for me? He is going to that secret place in Xikou County? That city that cannot be redeemed?"
When Thunder Fire Blade heard the news, he made an instant decision as always.
"That secret realm...let him take my almost useless sister there. Forget it, I'll talk to him myself."
So, the useless cat who was lazy in the Thunder Fire Blade dormitory, occupied the Thunder Fire Blade meal card, and looked at the VIP members of the Thunder Fire Blade website, was kicked to Lu Ping'an.
There is also another cat.
"Xiaobai, how are you?"
"scare!"
The little white cat on the cat's head, facing Lu Pingping, suddenly exploded its fur and made a threatening sound.
When Lu Ping'an tried to touch the cat's ears, the cat bared its teeth and bared its claws to threaten him.
"Oh, you are still not liked by Xiaobai, meow. He says you are scary, meow... Why are you touching me!"
Not liking to force a cat into trouble, Lu Pingan touched the ear of the cat below.
Well, it feels very good in the hand. Although it is a little bit useless, it still feels like a great cat.
"Scare, meow!"
When the cat also tried to intimidate Liangzhao, Lu Pingping just said lightly.
"Pay back the money."
Well, everything calmed down, and Lu Ping'an even threw his luggage over, making one of the porters happy.
The geographical distance between Xikou County and Xikou County is not that far, but it is still a neighboring province. Even if the morning train goes well, it will not arrive until the afternoon.
After getting on the train, Lu Ping'an slumped down on the chair and chatted with Lei Shuiyun.
"How is your recent practice progress? Have you mastered Runner's second ability? Shrinkage is a magical skill."
"...Why are you so cute like my brother? I'm very busy!"
At this moment, Lu Ping'an immediately understood that being busy means having no time to do serious things.
"Are you too busy sleeping to entertain the cat and watch cartoons...Forget it, you have just started to get started as a second-level animal trainer. This should not be difficult for you."
"How did you know, meow!"
The cat was furry again, but Lu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction, finally not completely useless.
The difficulty of joining the level 0 animal trainer is actually very subtle. It is essentially the same thing as the level 0 gardener. As long as you "tame a polluting animal and establish a spiritual connection with it."
But unlike the gardener who cannot cheat (?), this polluting animal can be tamed directly by finding a polluting animal (which is quite difficult), or you can raise an animal and then pollute it.
Failed? You can find another one, and animals generally have high tolerance to pollution. After being tamed by professionals for a long time, the success rate is far higher than that of ordinary people.
With the help of Thunder Fire Blade and the feline communication ability of "Cat", Lei Shuiyun's employment is actually not difficult.
It's just that like the level 0 gardener, the level 0 animal tamer has no combat effectiveness at all...
"Oh, even if you don't tell me, I know, meow, that you got it from an 'investment'. This is an invasion of personal privacy!!"
"Then you don't want today's 'investment'?"
"want......"
I took a BUFF and achieved Lu Ping'an's daily cat-sucking achievement, and I felt more and more relaxed.
"Humph, I also know that the reason why you haven't given me BUFF lately is because of my experience as an animal trainer. It's useless for you to get a share of it, meow."
"... It's like you actually tamed an animal. If you tame an animal for one day after the exam, I will exempt you from the buff money for a week."
The cat opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end... The bastard in front of him would really spend hundreds of dollars to get a contract to test his lies, harming others at the expense of himself just to bully Meow.
The cat felt that he had been seen through and had lost face, so he was a little anxious.
"Admit it, you hate the poor and love the rich, and love the new and hate the old."
"Yeah, is your food still reasonable?"
"You actually admitted it! And you even criticized me! I, I..."
After a while, she couldn't find any words to threaten Lu Ping'an, but instead the other party laughed so hard that she felt like she was going crazy... The cat had no choice but to squat down to eat the noodles and began to sulk.
Lu Ping An, who finished his daily achievement of amusing cats, nodded with satisfaction, this is life.
"By the way, can you swim? I heard that there is water in the secret place."
Lu Pingan asked casually, but received a stiff cat.
"No way, no way. You dare to follow me even if you can't swim. Who gave you the courage?"
"Don't look at people with prejudice. Although cats don't like water, most cats can swim!"
"Can cats? Oh, can you?"
The girl tilted her head and seemed to suddenly be interested in the scenery outside the window.
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly, seemingly giving up on treating the cat, muttering in his heart.
"...these two landlubbers went to collect the water book, but they thought it wasn't delivered quickly enough?"
That's right, despite Lu Ping'an's calm face, he is actually not very good at water. He can probably float in the doggy style and cannot be used in actual combat at all.
Soon, after arriving at the local area, they purchased some first-hand information on the secret realm and confirmed that there was water and land in the secret realm. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This came in such a hurry that they didn't even get the official information from the secret keeper... But now, the two of them were a little confused when they got the information.
"Is this information reliable?"
"Fifteen yuan a portion, do you think it's reliable? But let's make do with it first. You haven't seen them all rolled up like this. There should be some content."
I got off the train, transferred to the car, and took three wheels before arriving. But as soon as I entered this abandoned city, I was surrounded by a group of big men.
"Want to buy? The private content and expert tutorials in the secret realm are all available for only 100."
“Simple and straightforward map drawing and strategy points, only 40!”
"Are you staying in a hotel? Two hundred and a night for a private room, and you get...um, did you bring a girl?"
The "locals" were so enthusiastic that they all confused Lu Ping'an and his party.
But this is actually a reasonable thing. This place is so deserted and there are no normal people living there. The only selling point is the secret realm.
It is also the time before the secret realm is opened. The goals of those who come are clear, and the goals of those who make money are also clear.
After finally "making an appointment with someone" and "booking a hotel", they still spent a little money to buy an intelligence briefing, and the two of them managed to escape.
But just after taking two steps, when I turned a corner, the scenery was completely different.
"...it's really desolate."
"A little sad, meow."
Even if I had known that the city had become an abandoned city, seeing the scene in front of me was still very touching.
Needless to say, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere. There are faint traces of water on the ground and covered with ivy.
Birds forage freely in the trees, not hiding from people, and all the buildings are covered in a layer of blue. The urban area is so deserted that it doesn't even have an unnatural atmosphere.
Occasionally, there is a fire at one or two, and not far away you can see rats strutting downstairs looking for food. There are many more trees than houses, and the whole city is like a peaceful wasteland.
"Spiritual vision."
Lu Ping'an opened another field of vision. He originally wanted to see the legendary ghost, but he didn't see anything. He only saw the light beam further away.
"Let's go, there should be a secret realm over there, and it should be guarded by the church. Let's go look for it..."
But as I got closer, I turned around and reached the area in front of the secret realm, and what I saw was another kind of scenery.
"Tsk, it's a bit like the decadent street after college..."
Under the smoky black bungalows are various barbecue stalls. Not far away, vendors are shouting loudly. Under the weird light signs are even weirder men in cloaks selling weird medicines.
Weapons shops, pharmacies, medical clinics, temporary mercenary stations, and the signs of "Ping'an Road" have all been seen.
The flow of people cannot be said to be crowded, but if you look at it, it is packed with hundreds of people.
The entire ruined city may be the only one popular here, but the human atmosphere is a bit overflowing.
What was even more eye-catching was the shouting crowd.
"Three are missing and one is missing, let's get some treatment or assistance."
"Let's find a veteran, someone who can lead a team."
"I can fight, milk, and scout. Please find a team."
Even if you don't listen to their increasingly outrageous shouting, the secret realm will open tomorrow, and those who are still summoning teammates at this point know that they are not reliable.
If you want to be shameless, just put up a sign, if you are shameless, just shout it out.
What made Lu Ping'an think it was funny was that one person was shouting "If one is short of three, anyone can come", and three people were shouting "If three are short of one, it's a one-man trip". The two sides were standing next to each other, but they didn't even look at each other.
Even without using his brain, Lu Pingan knew that these were all scams.
"The road is safe, the road is safe! Look, level 2 healers are asking for a team! Rare assistants! There are also melee team members whose combat power exceeds level 3! How about we..."
But obviously, someone... the cat went out without thinking.
