God of Pets

Chapter 866 Tech Guru?
“This little panda is not only at the seventh level of awakening, but it has also activated the Secret Realm Aura, so it must be at the eighth level of awakening. With the support of the Secret Realm, its spiritual power must have been greatly enhanced, enabling it to continuously use its spiritual power to transform into a Secret Spirit Pet in a short period of time…” Ji Nan and the other three exchanged glances, all of them noticing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

It's not surprising that some people are lucky enough to get one, two, or even several top-tier pets.

For a super family like the Ji family, what others consider a lucky encounter with a pet or a resource is nothing to them; in fact, it's something they can obtain with ease.

Just like in the hands of ordinary people, diamonds are very precious treasures, and a diamond of a few carats can be a family heirloom.

But to the capitalists who monopolize diamond mines, it's nothing. If someone flaunts diamonds in front of them, they'll find it laughable.

However, raising a red panda to the eighth level is no easy task.

Obtaining a red panda is too easy for the Ji family, but feeding a red panda to the eighth level of awakening is something even the Ji family cannot do.

This involves not only resources, but also technical issues.

Just like having resources like steel and oil is simple, but how to turn those resources into rockets, and then use those rockets to send satellites or spacecraft into space and make them run in predetermined orbits, requires not only a massive investment of resources, but also a lot of technical support that is inaccessible to the average person.

To the average person, it looks like just a red panda.

However, what Ji Nan and his powerful families saw was the strength behind Chen Guan.

First, Chen Guan must have had a lot of resources, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much resources to raise a red panda.

Secondly, Chen Guan possesses strong research and development capabilities, and is likely part of a research and development team. Otherwise, how could he have overcome the challenge of the red panda, a problem that even the ten major families had not been able to solve?

If he doesn't have a team, that would be even more amazing, as it would show that Chen Guan himself is a tech genius.

Ji Nan and his team judged that if this person was not from one of the ten major families, then he was likely a tech genius himself.

Little did they know that Chen Guan didn't have any special skills in raising red pandas; he relied entirely on brute force of resources.

Ji Nan and the other three stared at Chen Guan. They knew that Ji Liuying was not a stupid person and would not accept someone from another family as her teacher, but they still needed to confirm it just in case.

Looking at Chen Guan, who had already subdued the Heavenly Eye Evil Spirit, Ji Nan asked, "Just who are you?"

"Does it matter who I am?" Chen Guan had expected this and wasn't surprised. He looked at Ji Nan and the others and said calmly.

“We have no intention of targeting you, but Liu Ying is a very important genius of our Ji family, and we cannot afford any mishaps. We need to be responsible for her and for the Ji family. Could you please reveal your identity?” Ji Nan said, “Regardless of your identity, we have no ill intentions towards you.”

“My master is fine, and he’s not one of the ten great families,” Ji Liuying said, trying to speak up for Chen Guan.

"It's alright," Chen Guan said to Ji Liuying with a smile, taking off his helmet.

"Chen Guan..." Ji Nan and the others were shocked when they saw Chen Guan's appearance.

They never imagined that Ji Liuying's master would be Chen Guan.

After making this discovery, Ji Nan and his group felt relieved and then overjoyed.

Chen Guan was not a member of the ten great families, and in fact, he was quite unfriendly to some of them. There were no major issues between the Ji family and Chen Guan.

Since Chen Guan possesses such technology and is now on good terms with Ji Liuying, this is a good thing for both the Ji family and Ji Liuying.

People like Chen Guan and Zi Donglai are generally recognized as having the potential to reach the level of a Heavenly King in the future. For the Ji family, which has lost a Heavenly King, it is undoubtedly a good thing that Ji Liuying is able to associate with such people.

Of course, it would be even better if we could obtain the technology to breed red pandas.

"So it's Young Master Chen. No wonder you need to hide your identity. We were being presumptuous. But don't worry, Young Master Chen, we will never reveal this matter in the slightest. You can stay here with peace of mind," Ji Nan said quickly.

They thought Chen Guan would have reservations, fearing that Judge Qi would find out and cause him trouble.

Unbeknownst to them, Judge Qi had already approached Chen Guan, but had failed to subdue him.

"Thank you all for keeping this a secret." Chen Guan didn't explain, but simply put his helmet back on and looked at Ji Liuying, who was staring in disbelief.

Ji Liuying originally thought that the Ming King was an old man who looked young but was actually an ancient relic who had lived for countless years.

It was only then that they realized that the Ming King was actually Chen Guan, who had fallen out with the ancestral court and had even defeated the ancestral court in the Southern Heaven Kingdom.

"He's Chen Guan? How could he have any connection with the Heavenly King? How could he be teaching the Heavenly King? Is he lying to me? Or is there someone else teaching the Heavenly King, and he has some kind of relationship with that person, which is why he knows about that secret technique and the Eight Innate Forms?"

"Given his age, it's impossible for him to have so many entanglements with the Heavenly King on his own. But if it really is him and my Heavenly King... then his talent and abilities have probably reached unimaginable levels..."

Ji Liuying's mind was in turmoil, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. For a moment, she didn't know how to face Chen Guan.

Seeing Chen Guan looking at her, Ji Liuying felt inexplicably flustered and subconsciously turned her head to avoid Chen Guan's gaze.

"Liu Ying, now that you have become Young Master Chen's disciple, you must follow him diligently and learn from him. You must not be arrogant or complacent. If there is anything you don't understand, you must ask Young Master Chen for guidance." After Ji Nan and the others learned that the Ming King was Chen Guan, they felt even more strongly that Chen Guan must be a technical master.

Although Chen Guan is very strong in the cave heaven, he does not have the foundation of the great cave heaven. The fact that he can raise the red panda to this level must mean that he has unique skills in breeding techniques.

They are now eager for Ji Liuying to learn from Chen Guan, and ideally, to learn Chen Guan's techniques for raising red pandas.

With the Ji family's wealth, it wouldn't be difficult to replicate a large number of red pandas once they have the technology.

The rest of the journey became very enjoyable.

Originally, Chen Guan planned to return home after obtaining the Heavenly Eye Demon.

However, he couldn't resist the repeated invitations from the four elders of the Ji family, and since he was still Ji Liuying's master in name, he couldn't just abandon them after getting what he wanted. So he accompanied Ji Liuying through this trial.

Throughout the journey, the four elders of the Ji family showed great care and concern for Chen Guan, to the point that anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were protecting Chen Guan themselves.
