Beast Tamer: Why is the intelligence system a game announcement?

"Wait, wait, wait a minute?!"

Because Bai Su spoke so fast, it took Lin Wu a while to realize what Bai Su was saying.

Then, I realized a problem.

The evolutionary sequence of the psychedelic insect, wasn't it said before that it would only be given to you when you became an apprentice advanced beast tamer?

Seemingly sensing Lin Wu's question, Bai Su glanced at him before calmly speaking:

"Originally, we didn't give you an evolution sequence because of your strength. After all, it would be a waste of time for a trainee intermediate level to study evolution."

"Therefore, many investment rewards were temporarily postponed for you, as you didn't really need them given your abilities at the time."

"But things are different now."

"Although you're disobedient, now that you have an advanced-level Ghost Bone Dragon, you should be strong enough to plan and prepare for those things."

Bai Su paused here, then smiled.

"Perfect timing, now there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"A secret realm?"

Lin Wu asked a question tentatively, and Bai Su nodded gently.

Lin Wu couldn't help but recall the announcement she had seen last night.

Could that announcement be referring to the secret realm?

After studying for this period of time, Lin Wu actually knew about the secret realm.

Because of the existence of the ecological realm, the death of a Beastmaster and a small number of powerful spirits may cause a small portion of the ecological realm to fall. These fallen ecological realms then become secret realms.

During the process of ecological collapse, a massive amount of resources with corresponding attributes, as well as various opportunities, are usually generated.

Therefore, whenever a secret realm appears, countless beast tamers with the corresponding attributes flock to it.

"But I've never heard of any secret realms appearing."

Lin Wu scratched his head and said, "I remember it was said that the golden age of secret realms in Jianghai Province has long passed, right? The book says that no secret realms have appeared for several years."

Since the beast tide many years ago, the secret realms of Jianghai Province have experienced a huge surge, but after that, there was a nearly ten-year gap in the number of secret realms.

Even today.

"Insider information."

Bai Su said calmly:

"The Ningcheng Beast Tamer Association was the first to detect the fluctuations, and then the association headquarters in Jianghai Province also detected them."

"Nine years later, the secret realm has reappeared. Its ecosystem includes Ghost, Water, Fire, Flying, Electric... and Bug types."

Bai Su paused here. Lin Wu, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.

"Take, take away the young?"

"Don't most secret realms only contain one corresponding ecosystem attribute?"

"This secret realm is very special. Those office workers from the Jianghai Provincial Academy of Sciences have been working overtime since last night to study it."

Bai Su said calmly, "Many people are speculating why a secret realm has reappeared in Ningcheng after so long, and why it is so special."

"Many people suspect that this may be a continuation of the beast tide ten years ago, or speculate that there is a mastermind behind it and that a new disaster is about to occur."

"However, that's none of your business. Even if there's something fishy going on, it's not something you need to worry about."

As Bai Su spoke, she showed Lin Wu the search function on her phone.

Lin Wu looked down and then saw the announcement issued by the Ningcheng Imperial Master Association.

[Recruiting Personnel for New Dungeon Exploration]

[Restriction: Apprentice Beast Tamer]

Those interested should go to the designated audition location between this afternoon and tomorrow.

"Restricting apprentice beast tamers?"

Lin Wu asked in surprise, while Bai Su nodded slightly and continued to introduce the secret realm to Lin Wu:

"Although the office workers at the research institute haven't figured out the principle behind the creation of this secret realm, at least they're still doing their jobs."

"It's a small secret realm, they say, like a collection of ecosystems the size of several advanced or professional beast tamers pieced together."

"An ecosystem of this size can only accommodate trainee Masters with their beginner-level Pokémon, which is why the Master Association is in a hurry to recruit people to explore the secret realm."

"How many participants would that require?"

Lin Wu glanced at his own hallucinogenic insects, and his eye twitched:

"Can they win?"

"Why don't you just bring the Ghost Bone Dragon in with you?"

Bai Su glanced at the Ghost Bone Dragon and said calmly, but Lin Wu was taken aback:

"Isn't this an advanced-level elf?"

"As I told you, this Ghost Bone Dragon hasn't entered the ecosystem yet; it's only reached the required stats, so it can only be considered a pseudo-advanced stage."

Bai Su paused slightly, a smile appearing on her face: "In other words, being able to exploit a bug to enter the secret realm still counts as a low-level spirit."

Lin Wu: ?

At that moment, Lin Wu looked at Bai Su in shock, and then realized what was happening.

It has advanced stats, but can only enter beginner-level dungeons to fight?

Then what else is there to say, bro?

Brother Bone Dragon, take me flying one more time!

He gazed eagerly at the Ghost Bone Dragon. Seeing his expression, Bai Su shook her head helplessly and said:

"Don't get too excited yet. While others may not have your unique advantages, they won't be any worse off."

"That's why I said I wanted you to broaden your horizons."

As Bai Su spoke, she looked into the distance and calmly said:

"You can't stay cooped up in Ningcheng all the time. This secret realm is a great stage for you to broaden your horizons and see the geniuses in Jianghai Province."

"It's alright, it's alright, it's nothing serious."

Lin Wu rubbed her hands together excitedly, looking impatient: "I think I'm ready."

Bai Su glanced at Lin Wu and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I hope you'll be able to smile then too."

She paused for a moment before saying meaningfully, "After all, there are quite a few people in the province who claim to be able to solo advanced-level elves even as low-level elves."

"They are the top players in the province, the hopeful force in the rookie tournament, and the group of geniuses who are considered capable of completing their professional league careers in high school."

For a moment, Lin Wu was stunned, and his expression as he looked at the Ghost Bone Dragon suddenly became strange.

Wait a minute, what does that mean?

Bai Su said gloatingly, "Keep it up!"

She looked at Lin Wu's increasingly pained expression, smiled, and then said:

"But like I said, there's no need to worry too much; you have the advantage."

"If you feel unsure, you can also ask Miaomiao to come. Just tell her about the situation in the secret realm after the preliminary selection, and she will definitely come."

Bai Miaomiao?

Thinking of Bai Miaomiao's appearance, Lin Wu still found it hard to associate her with the word "function".

Besides, isn't she a professional-level player? Can she really enter the secret realm?

But since it was Bai Su who said it, Lin Wu didn't question it and just nodded.

"The key to understanding the evolutionary sequence of the psychedelic insects and the next stage of training for the Qingyuan Meditation Method lies in the secret realm."

Or rather, you need to plunder resources in the secret realm, and... complete the evolutionary sequence ritual before the hallucinogenic insect can evolve.

"As for how to do it specifically, let me give you a small goal."

Bai Su pondered for a moment, then pointed at Lin Wu and said:

"Go and bring back the entire ecosystem from the secret realm, and clear the area while you're at it."

Lin Wu looked at Bai Su with a completely bewildered expression.

Huh? Me? Me?
