"Emigrated to the Divine Eagle Federation?"
Lu Ran was greatly shocked when he heard this.
After all, his parents had discussed Dr. Yun Han's talent on numerous occasions.
Therefore, Lu Ran believed that Dr. Yun Han must be highly capable.
As a result, such talent fled to another country?
"I can only say that it's a pretty common phenomenon," Manager Ying said with a touch of sarcasm. "The Divine Eagle Federation is far ahead in technology. When Infinite City first emerged, they already began trying to make genetically modified animals extraordinary."
"In pursuit of higher research achievements and a better experimental environment, that Dr. Yun Han simply made a choice that most people would make."
"On the other hand, those who can resist the temptation of better conditions and stay to contribute to their homeland are truly precious."
Lu Ran was at a loss for words. After thinking about it, he found this phenomenon to be widespread and understandable.
"So you mean to say that Mr. Husky is a failed experiment from his research in Green Sea City?" Lu Ran said.
"Disappointed?"
"Not at all." Lu Ran grinned and said, "To me, Mr. Husky is the strongest, no matter how formidable the Pet Beasts Dr. Yun Han created in the Divine Eagle Federation are, Mr. Husky could certainly beat them."
"It didn't become the top of the Divine Pet List because of the other's modifications. That Ferocious State, Mr. Husky hasn't used it for a long time."
"And what did you just say? He's researching the resurrection of dinosaurs in the Divine Eagle Federation? Like in 'Jurassic Park'? Is that really possible?" Lu Ran was startled, suddenly realizing.
"Given the Divine Eagle Federation's rapidly advancing scientific research level... it's hard to say," Manager Ying said.
"But you're confident, aren't you? I look forward to seeing you beat them," Manager Ying laughed, "I enjoy that. In recent years, in the competition over the Public Secret Realm, the Xia Country Beast Trainer Alliance has indeed been suppressed by the Divine Eagle Alliance for a long time. No one in the second and third generations of Beast Trainers in Xia Country has emerged to change the situation…"
"Forget about that. What I want to talk about is something else. I did some investigating because when it roared at me that day, I sensed the instability in its Sea of the Mind, which was odd."
"Even though you've tamed it very well using Psychic Sensing, the hidden danger still exists, and it may backfire on the Beast Trainer in the future. Wouldn't you like to know how to completely solve its hidden problems?"
"At that point, who knows, it might be able to maintain the Ferocious State regularly and unleash even greater potential."
"How can we do that?" Lu Ran was startled, growing more concerned about Mr. Husky's condition.
"1000 crystal coins, thank you for your patronage."
Lu Ran: ???
What the hell, you really are ruthless!
And bundling the sale with some information?
"I'll buy!" Lu Ran gritted his teeth.
Manager Ying chuckled and said, "I'll introduce you to someone. You know her too. She's also achieved a lot in Pet Beast research. Have her help you, and maybe she can help your Husky evolve."
"Who?"
"Gu Qingyi."
Lu Ran broke into a sweat.
"Follow me. She's already waiting for you at that sealed-off biological research institute in Green Sea City. I'll take you there."
After listening, Lu Ran was taken aback. It seems you all arranged everything, just waiting for me to take the bait, huh?
...
Green Sea City.
Two figures emerged.
Lu Ran felt it was too much hassle—first teleporting from Infinite City to Jinling, then teleporting instantly to Green Sea.
But for Mr. Husky, it was worth the trouble.
Manager Ying brought Lu Ran to a sealed-off research institute in Green Sea City.
Lu Ran had never been to this place before; after all, it was a sensitive area off-limits to outsiders.
As a lawful citizen, he could have sent a small animal to sneak in, but that was too risky.
But now it seemed that when investigating Mr. Husky's background, he had missed the most important location.
Inside the sealed research institute, a young woman in a lab coat was sifting through leftover research materials, with a cold expression on her face.
It was only when she heard noise from outside that she put down the research report and looked over.
Seeing the approaching human and cat, she smiled and said, "Ying, you've come."
"And this is…"
"The little brother Fang Lan has mentioned?"
She looked at Lu Ran with interest.
Ying had mentioned Lu Ran, and she had been curious, but once she heard that his sister was Fang Lan, everything clicked into place.
Lu Ran... was the brother with decent talent that Fang Lan talked about.
Gu Qingyi was speechless. A Superpower Expert, the first on the Divine Pet List of Infinite City No. 3, and that was just considered decent talent?
She actually liked the younger Fang Lan, finding her to be quite distinctive. However, Gu Qingyi never expected Fang Lan's brother to be even more unique.
"Hello, Dr. Gu," Lu Ran said with a smile. This time... he was truly meeting Dr. Gu.
"Ying has already told me about your situation. This is where Dr. Yun Han used to work." Gu Qingyi looked around and said, "What a pity, such a gifted researcher joined another country, becoming an opponent."
"If he were still here, perhaps Xia Country's Beast Training research could have progressed further."
Lu Ran remained silent; the competition between nations never seemed to stop, regardless of the era...
"Alright then!"
"Mr. Lu, why not summon your Husky and have a look," Gu Qingyi suggested, turning to Lu Ran.
"If I'm not mistaken, it probably doesn't have many memories from its younger days, right?"
"That's right," acknowledged Lu Ran, nodding. If Mr. Husky had any recall, Lu Ran would have learned about this place from it long ago.
With that, Lu Ran took out the Black Card and summoned Mr. Husky.
```
An array diagram emerged, and Mr. Husky stepped out of the Black Card, curiously looking around.
Where is this?
It looked at Manager Ying, then saw Gu Qingyi and hesitated slightly.
"Mr. Husky, does this place feel familiar to you?" Lu Ran asked Mr. Husky, wanting to see if it could remember anything.
"Woof!"
At that moment, Mr. Husky, with a furrowed brow, scrunched up its nose and looked towards a room deep inside the place.
Seeing this, Lu Ran nodded. Mr. Husky immediately ran off.
And naturally, Lu Ran, Gu Qingyi, and Manager Ying followed.
The room Mr. Husky arrived at farther inside looked like a laboratory with metal cages embedded in the walls and an abandoned experimental table in the center. Because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, the overall atmosphere was very oppressive.
"This room is where Dr. Yun Han conducted animal experiments."
Gu Qingyi began, and as she finished, a sudden change occurred. Mr. Husky, looking at the metal cages and experimental table, growled suddenly.
"Arrrhhhh———"
It stared intensely at the cages and the experimental table, its eyes filling with blood vessels, seemingly remembering something.
"Mr. Husky?" Lu Ran called out to Mr. Husky.
What's going on with this place, causing Mr. Husky to go into a ferocious state directly.
Lu Ran tried calling out, but unexpectedly, this time it didn't awaken Mr. Husky instantly.
"Mr. Husky!!" Lu Ran shouted again loudly.
Instead, Mr. Husky's emotions became even more unstable.
It bared its teeth and snarled at the air.
But then, its eyes showed a trace of fear.
Its senses seemed to be completely cut off from the outside, trapped in its own world.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyi and Ying exchanged glances. Gu Qingyi said, "Indeed, this Husky is also a victim."
"No wonder its emotions are so unstable." Manager Ying said.
"Little Ghost Lu, I didn't tell you, Dr. Yun Han's methods of conducting animal experiments in pursuit of efficiency weren't very gentle. Most animals coming out of this place have very unstable temperaments, feeling immense hatred and fear for this place. It seems it also suffered a lot when it was young."
"Can you calm it down, or do you need my help to awaken it?"
At this time, even though Lu Ran heard Manager Ying's voice, he didn't reply but instead kept trying to awaken Mr. Husky on his own.
He was nearly pushing his psychic sensing to the limit.
In that instant,
Lu Ran felt as if he were sharing Mr. Husky's memories.
In a room with scattered lights, locked in a pitch-black cage.
Occasionally, the room would become brightly lit, and a man in a lab coat would take them out one by one, injecting them with unknown drugs.
Some pet beasts in the cages were taken away and never came back.
Mr. Husky's memories of its puppyhood emerged one by one, having spent entirely in that dark research facility.
Now, looking at the familiar surroundings, Mr. Husky was somewhat losing its reason.
Pinned on the experimental table, completely powerless, the painful experience of being jabbed was still vivid in its mind.
It was both angry and afraid; the shadows of its puppyhood were the hardest to erase.
Through psychic sensing, Lu Ran's brow was tightly furrowed as he genuinely felt Mr. Husky's inner turmoil.
"Mr. Husky!" This was the first time Lu Ran had felt such emotions from Mr. Husky... No wonder, Mr. Husky was so agitated this time; no wonder, when he first brought Mr. Husky home, its temperament was so violent.
Even pet dogs that are kept in cages for years develop extreme personalities, let alone a Husky that had been in a cage since its puppyhood, consistently dealing with injections and biological experiments.
Having a stable temperament would be the real surprise.
Lu Ran moved forward, still not asking for Manager Ying's help to awaken Mr. Husky.
Seeing Lu Ran's expression, Gu Qingyi was briefly startled, then seemed to understand Lu Ran's intention, her mouth curving slightly upward, without stopping him.
Not bad for a Beast Trainer.
The next moment, Lu Ran reached out his hand and summoned the Wind Cutting Sword from his backpack space. He channeled his energy into it and swung it at the experimental table with all his might.
Boom.
The colossal experimental table shattered into pieces, collapsing with a loud noise.
That sound seemed to be more effective than Lu Ran's psychic sensing. As the experimental table fell, Mr. Husky's gaze flickered, and then Lu Ran forcefully tapped Mr. Husky's head with the sword hilt and said, "Take care of the cages yourself."
With that, he handed the sword to Mr. Husky.
At that moment, Mr. Husky's gaze regained some sanity, and the fear slowly dissipated. It looked at Boss Lu with a dazed expression.
"Dr. Yun Han is indeed hateful. I don't care how he treats other animals, but not you. Let's first destroy this place, remember the grudge, and when we get the chance, we'll find him for revenge. Whether he's revived dinosaurs or researched Divine Beasts, we'll beat him down." Lu Ran gave a faint smile.
"You're my partner now."
"Woof!!" Mr. Husky, upon hearing this, nodded vigorously, took the sword Lu Ran passed to it, and looked at the cages around it.
With resolve in its eyes, it swung the sword, striking out.
Continuous Gale Sword Energy sliced through the walls, including the cages, as if aiming to completely sever ties with the past.
But the next moment, both Mr. Husky and Boss Lu changed their facial expressions, showing a look of intelligence.
Boom.
Because the house seemed to be collapsing...
"Not good, Gu Qingyi, why didn't you stop him!" At this moment, Manager Ying seemed to have realized something too, and as she looked up at the suddenly collapsing ceiling, everything went dark before her eyes.
"Manager Ying, quickly use Teleport!" Beside her, Gu Qingyi laughed, why stop a Beast Trainer and his charming pet beast in their most compelling partnering moment?
