Chapter 57 - 50: Shackles Unlocked_1
The next day, as the dawn light gently filled the sky.
In a bedroom, Lu Ran was sprawled out on the big bed like an octopus.
"Woof!"
Mr. Husky had woken up early and, pressing his face against the glass window while watching the rising sun, turned to provide Lu Ran with his wake-up service.
In his joyful eyes, there was a hint of anticipation.
Time to get up!
It was time for revenge!
The sleep-deprived King of Sudden Death was woken up before Lu Ran by the noise, feeling less than splendid.
"Ugh..." Lu Ran dawdled for a while and then stretched lazily as he got out of bed.
He had important things to do today!
After a groggy wash-up, Lu Ran said to the King of Sudden Death in the room:
"You're free to do as you please today."
"Mr. Husky and I are going to Infinite City later."
Because Manager Ying said yesterday that he should go to the Neko Maid Cafe in Infinite City No. 3 at noon today to collect his prize money!
Today, he wouldn't accompany his master; collecting money was more important!
"..."
The King of Sudden Death was silent, indicating that he would obediently stay in the corner of the room and told Lu Ran to make sure to come back safely. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Don't worry, we're not going to do anything dangerous..." Lu Ran laughed.
The King of Sudden Death's current line of thinking was that, for his own safety, he must remind Lu Ran and Mr. Husky to be careful.
...
The shackle had been released...
Lu Ran showed a smile, it was still early, and he had come in early with Mr. Husky this time precisely to thoroughly conquer the Demon Cat Forest Secret Realm!
"Mr. Husky."
"Woof!" Mr. Husky had been informed of the day's tasks since yesterday and couldn't wait; he had been circling around the Secret Realm column.
His gaze was sharp!
It was time to settle all scores!
"Let's go, it's time for revenge," Lu Ran said cheerily.
The Grass Demon Cat wasn't as strong as the Undead Spirit Cat, but now, after seven days of training, Mr. Husky could crush the latter and naturally handle the Grass Demon Cat with no trouble!
The only thing he needed to watch out for now was to minimize getting hit to score higher.
Typically, in such Secret Realm challenges to score high, one would need a good combination of minimal damage taken and efficiency in defeating the BOSS.
......
"Teleportation complete."
"Current location: Demon Cat Forest (Novice Secret Realm)"
"Difficulty: Easy"
"Challenge mission: Defeat the Demon Cat Leader."
After the teleportation was completed, the familiar voice came again.
On the damp ground,
Lu Ran stood, looking into the depths of the forest.
Mr. Husky was by his side to the right, his nose twitching slightly.
It was already their third time entering the Demon Cat Forest Secret Realm. As the saying goes, the third time's the charm, and this time they were determined to take down the Demon Cat Leader.
Then after collecting the reward at the Maid Coffee Shop at noon, they would buy some intelligence on ordinary, hard and even Abyssal Secret Realms like the "Abandoned Research Institute", aiming to reveal the "Weapon Control Trait" as the target for a new round of challenges.
