118: B-level mission, meet Brother Pao again!

"Are you Fang Beastmaster? We are all here and can head to Feng City anytime!"

"Okay! I'll be right there!"

Fang Ran arrived at the Beastmaster Association building.

In the spacious and bright hall, several Beast Tamer could be seen from afar.

"Shen Yun, you're already here? So fully armed."

Fang Ran was surprised.

Shen Yun in front of him was wearing tight black clothing, with bone armor on crucial parts.

This outfit caused the surrounding people to frequently glance sideways and watch.

"This must be Lord-level bone armor, right? I heard it can withstand the bites of Lord-level Fierce Beasts?"

"A price of tens of millions... I heard it's made from the extremely flexible bones of Fierce Beasts!"

"Which family's princess is this, coming out for training?"

"Stop calling out, I don't think she's an ordinary Beast Tamer, be careful she doesn't hear you."

"So rich. The most expensive defensive gear I've ever bought in my life was just iron plates worth over a hundred thousand."

The surrounding people discussed amongst themselves.

"What's there to see? It's just bone armor, at most a few tens of millions."

Shen Yun mumbled.

"Uh... perhaps." Fang Ran said.

Bone armor was indeed expensive and eye-catching.

But Shen Yun's attire... her figure, which the soft armor could barely contain, probably also accounted for some of it.

"Let's go, the area where we agreed to meet is the station for Feng City."

The station within the Beastmaster Association was specifically for the use of its members.

These vehicles were expensive to build, their speed could evade the pursuit of Fierce Beasts, and their defense could withstand a blow without being flattened.

The price was the high fare.

A moment later.

The two arrived at the station.

In front of the vehicle heading to Feng City, stood several Beast Tamer in their twenties or thirties.

"Why haven't those two arrived yet?"

A middle-aged man with determined eyes and a shallow scratch mark on his cheek said impatiently.

"Maybe we arrived too early, after all, it's not the appointed time yet." A female Beast Tamer explained with a light laugh.

"This is a B-rank mission, do you think it's child's play? If you don't come earlier, how can you know each other's skill level?"

The middle-aged man spoke again.

The female immediately stopped talking.

"Where is Zhang Songde?"

"He went to the restroom." Someone replied.

"Huh! Someone's coming! Looking at them... they seem to be two students!"

Someone spoke, and the eyes of the seven people present all looked into the distance.

They saw a girl wearing bone armor, with a delicate and beautiful appearance, and a boy wearing black casual clothes, with a relatively handsome face but carrying a hint of seriousness, walking towards the crowd.

"So handsome!" exclaimed the only female Beast Tamer in the team.

"Hmph, what use is being handsome? We look at ability."

"Looking at their age... these two aren't still students, are they?"

"So the recent rumors are true, the Imperial Capital sent students to complete missions. I heard they've caused trouble for many of their peers..."

Listening to the discussion of the few people.

The middle-aged man's brow also furrowed.

He had also heard about this. Their area of Lord Beast Masters had recently taken on many missions.

Those Beast Tamer from the Imperial Capital who had just reached the Lord-level, boasted of being geniuses, didn't listen to orders, and acted on their own initiative, ultimately causing the death of one of his comrade's pet Beasts!

This gave him an extremely bad impression of this group of arrogant geniuses!

"You two, this is a B-rank mission. It's still not too late to give up now."

The middle-aged man spoke.

He started with these words.

This made Shen Yun and Fang Ran visibly stunned for a moment.

"No need, we are confident." Fang Ran said.

"Haha." The middle-aged man chuckled. He had heard these words too many times.

Imperial Capital Academy sent hundreds of people out for practical training this time, every one of them a Lord Beast Master. The impact on the Imperial Capital's mission market was considerable!

Almost every team had encountered new Beast Tamer from the Imperial Capital.

The weaker ones were outside the top hundred, while the stronger ones had teams prepared by their own families.

So for them, the probability of encountering a strong new student from the Imperial Capital was not small.

"Chen Qiang, you're unlucky this time. There's actually a student from the Imperial Capital in your team!"

"Hahaha, Chen Qiang, you can't always avoid trouble if you're always involved in risky business."

"Recently, the Beastmaster Association has new rules. You either give up the mission, or you can only take them with you!"

Looking at the schadenfreude expressions of the people around him.

Chen Qiang could only sigh.

He didn't want his Beasts to die during the mission.

Although the Beastmaster Association provided subsidies for new teams and free medical insurance, once a pet Beast died, it was far from something that could be redeemed by subsidies!

After all, at the Lord stage, the death rate of Beasts in B-rank missions exceeded 5%!

Every time a new pet Beast was contracted, it would cause great damage to the Beast Tamer's spirit!

"Sorry young man, there's a bit of an unexpected situation mid-mission this time..."

Chen Qiang hadn't finished speaking.

A surprised voice came from the side.

"Damn! Fang Ge, why are you here?" A slightly imposing figure appeared, and Fang Ran almost didn't recognize him.

"It's me, they all call me Brother Pao. I'll shave my beard when I go back, does it make me look a bit younger?" Zhang Songde muttered to himself.

"You look younger, but not *that* much younger." Fang Ran retorted.

25 years old, with a face that looked over 30. One might think you used to be a programmer.

Of course, if you really were a programmer, it wouldn't be 30, it would probably be another ten years.

Looking at the appearance of the two.

The crowd couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Brother Zhang, you know him?" A young Beast Tamer asked.

Zhang Songde was a senior from their academy, once in the top ten of the academy, and also one of the main members of their team this time.

It could be said that without Chen Qiang and Zhang Songde, almost no one would have taken on this mission.

"Know him? Did you forget? I participated in the Second Beast Competition before."

"It was thanks to Fang Ran that I was able to compete until the end."

Zhang Songde finished speaking.

Instantly, it triggered everyone's memories.

In a moment, several people's pupils suddenly dilated.

"You... you're the champion of the Second Pet Beast Competition, that Fang Ran?!"

"It's really him! Exactly the same as the photo on my phone, look."

"Damn, I thought I recognized the wrong person and didn't dare to speak."

Several Beast Tamer were extremely excited.

What kind of probability is this?

It's like hitting the 300-pull guaranteed pity and pulling an SSR on the very first try!

"Fang Ran?" Chen Qiang was startled.

If it was Fang Ran, then everything was different.

"I heard that in the Imperial Capital, you also consistently maintained the first place?"

"Not really, just hovering between first and second." Fang Ran said, rubbing his nose.

He had been surpassed by Bai Ling Shuang for a period.

But that was because he was taking missions at the Beastmaster Association and missed a few classes.

"Yes, heroes emerge from youth! However, this mission is dangerous, and you must follow my and Zhang Songde's command throughout. Only the two of us are Lord Beast Masters."

Chen Qiang no longer mentioned giving up but also imposed conditions on Fang Ran.

After all, students are still students. It would be good if their main Beast could reach the Lord (Early Stage)!

He brought Fang Ran along, primarily because his future was worth investing in!
