282: How careless!

Chapter 282: So Careless

In the office, Lu Ran met Liu Xinxin and the others.

“You're back so soon? Didn't you go to the Luan Region? How did it go?” Yu Qingcang asked eagerly.

“Needless to say, of course we got it. I see the map of the Luan Region has already been explored, so Lu Ran must have been there,” Liu Xinxin said, glancing at the map.

“We did get it, but the process was a bit complicated,” Lu Ran said, surprised.

At his words, the guild leaders instantly became interested.

“What happened? Was there an accident?” Ye Hongyi asked.

At the same time, she scrutinized Lu Ran from head to toe.

“I'm fine, it's just that at the time…”

Lu Ran recounted what happened after he went to the seaside.

The guild leaders were all stunned by his story.

“The Blood Alliance? I know that guild. Its scale isn't small, and its guild leader seems to be a hidden profession, but they've always been very low-key. I didn't expect them to be such trash,” Lei Tai said, surprised.

“That's normal, given their profession's characteristics, but I didn't expect them to be so extreme. Lu Ran, you did well; that's what a Guoshi should be like,” Liu Xinxin said approvingly.

“Indeed, you've grown up a bit,” Ye Hongyi chuckled.

Then she moved closer to Lu Ran.

She said with a smile, “Little brother, I've looked after you for so long. Now that you've grown up, shouldn't you protect your elder sister?”

Even though he knew Ye Hongyi was deliberately teasing him, Lu Ran almost bit his tongue.

Then he said earnestly, “Definitely.”

Just two simple words, no need for more.

Liu Xinxin, Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, and of course, Yu Qingcang, who hadn't directly mentored Lu Ran much but played a crucial role.

Lu Ran saw all the kindness these four guild leaders showed him.

“The Blood Alliance matter is in the past; you don't need to worry about follow-up issues. I'll have someone handle it. Besides, you saved so many people; there's no need to hide it. On the contrary, we should publicize it widely. Look at our newly appointed Guoshi Lu Ran, how responsible he is, haha…” Yu Qingcang burst out laughing.

He was very satisfied with Lu Ran's actions on this trip.

“By the way, you just said that after clearing the Luan Region, you also went to a mysterious place in the Forbidden Sea. What did you mean?” Liu Xinxin recalled Lu Ran's earlier words and continued to ask curiously.

“Hmm, that area was sensed by Si Luoluo. There's a BOSS there whose level surpasses Si Luoluo's and is related to the Scale Demon race, but it's still in a special state. I can't really explain it,” Lu Ran said, pondering.

Upon hearing this.

The guild leaders exchanged glances.

But they didn't quite understand.

Not understanding wasn't the main issue, the key was…

“That BOSS's level is even higher than the Dark Elf Queen's? What does that mean? Over Level 100? What is that?!” Lei Tai was stunned.

The Level 100 Dark Elf Queen Si Luoluo was already beyond reach.

What kind of monster was over Level 100?

“I can't say. Its state is very strange. My attacks don't work, but control skills do. It seems the rules are still being perfected, and the datafication is still in progress, and it has no health bar,” Lu Ran said, pondering.

“So, the world's datafication isn't static, but constantly ongoing. However, even the World Will itself didn't expect a professional to be able to access the unfinished parts of datafication at this stage. You're an exception,” Liu Xinxin analyzed.

“What does that mean? Does unfinished datafication have any impact?” Ye Hongyi asked.

“Probably no impact. Since it's not finished, just wait for it to be finished,” Lei Tai said, taking it for granted.

“It's not that simple,” Liu Xinxin said, shaking her head.

Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Liu Xinxin.

“This means that the current world isn't static. Subsequent levels aren't pre-planned and waiting to be opened. Undeveloped areas aren't fully datafied and waiting for professionals to discover. More things will continuously emerge later on,” Liu Xinxin explained.

Finally, she summarized, “In a word, this world will become increasingly complex and exciting, but also increasingly dangerous.”

Upon hearing this.

The atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.

But at this moment.

Liu Xinxin shrugged again and said, “But no matter what, as long as Lu Ran is here, Dragon Xia will be fine. Other countries, on the other hand, are uncertain.”

In the end, it still came down to Lu Ran!

“Let's not talk about that anymore. Lu Ran, what are your plans now that you're back? Are you going to continue looking for other materials?” Liu Xinxin asked again.

“That's the idea. I plan to gather the materials that can be quickly collected first, and then look for the missing materials one by one. Otherwise, it's a bit aimless right now because I don't know exactly which materials are easily obtainable at the moment,” Lu Ran said truthfully.

“That's a problem. We should have prepared in advance. Where's the material list? Let me see,” Liu Xinxin said.

Ye Hongyi and the others also gathered around.

They had seen it before, but hadn't fully memorized it and needed to check for confirmation.

After reviewing it.

With the guild leaders' knowledge, they quickly determined the situation.

“For the materials we mentioned before, our respective guilds are preparing them quickly, and your Sister Hong's Hongye Merchant Guild can also prepare them fastest, but it will take about a day,” Liu Xinxin said, pondering.

After speaking, she looked at Ye Hongyi and the others.

Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, and Yu Qingcang all nodded.

“Indeed, it will take about a day,” Yu Qingcang nodded and said.

“I'm not sure about mine yet, but one day is definitely enough,” Lei Tai said.

“Mine will be fast,” Ye Hongyi said.

Upon hearing this.

Liu Xinxin said, “Alright then, one day it is. Lu Ran, what are your plans for this day?”

Lu Ran immediately said, “I was just about to say that. Since I have a day of free time, of course I'm going to clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range!”

Huh?

Upon hearing this, the four of them were suddenly stunned.

Lu Ran continued, “The Black Dragon Mountain Range can clearly be tackled at Level 50, but you didn't remind me. I always thought it could only be tackled at Level 60. What a waste, such a waste!”

Upon hearing this.

The four guild leaders exchanged glances.

Ye Hongyi said awkwardly, “Well, it's not that I didn't remind you, but… I forgot too…”

Lei Tai also said awkwardly, “Sigh, I really didn't remember, and you weren't Level 50 before, so I didn't think about it.”

Yu Qingcang said, “I did remember that the Black Dragon Mountain Range could be tackled at Level 50, but then it was put aside because of the Hundred Cities League. I thought you knew.”

Finally, Liu Xinxin spoke.

Liu Xinxin said with a wry smile, “I really was careless. For so long, because I'm Level 60 and the Black Dragon Mountain Range is also Level 60, and it's been very difficult to clear, although it can be tackled at Level 50, we always chose professionals with higher levels. So… I subconsciously blurred the concept that it could be tackled at Level 50. I was indeed careless.”

After speaking.

The four looked at Lu Ran.

Yu Qingcang said excitedly, “So, you can tackle it now! You can make Dragon Xia the second country in the Global to conquer the Black Dragon Mountain Range!”

Liu Xinxin added, “Eagle Nation was the first, but Eagle Nation cleared it on normal difficulty. If Lu Ran goes, he won't be tackling it on normal difficulty.”
