Chapter 277 - The Overlord’s Advantage
Lu Ran stayed at the Shi Clan’s residence, where they provided him with fine food and drink. The Shi Clan took his matters seriously. That very day, the second elder of the Shi Clan personally took a carriage to the plantmaster clan, the Teng Clan, in Tree World City to inquire about the awakening process of the Longleaf Swordgrass.
Meanwhile, the third elder of the Shi Clan immediately went to the City Lord’s Mansion to request early access into the Death Forest for Lu Ran.
That night, the Shi Clan hosted a banquet in Lu Ran’s honor. During the banquet, he met more members of the younger generation of the Shi Clan, including the cousin that Shi Ze had mentioned...
However, despite the Shi Clan’s clear intention of matchmaking, this wild and untamed young woman barely paid any attention to Lu Ran. Unlike the Shi Clan elders, who eagerly sought to curry favor, she simply ate her meal and left without a second thought.
In truth, not everyone had the mindset to fawn over a beastmaster with a strong background. Lu Ran actually liked people like that, because he also lacked that mindset. As he ate, his mind had already drifted to the thought of becoming the disciple of a legendary plantmaster.
The fastest way to master the cultivation of plant lifeforms was undoubtedly to become an apprentice of a legendary expert. It was just like when he had once become the apprentice of a legendary necromancer and became the Holy Son of the Undead Cult. Because of that, his understanding of the Undead attribute had instantly surpassed Blue Planet’s knowledge by a hundredfold.
The same logic applied here. If he could become the city lord’s disciple, his exploration of this world would advance.
“Brother Lu, my cousin is just like that. Don’t take it personally. By the way, your familiar is of the Wind and Ice dual-attribute, right? I’ll send over its meal later,” Shi Ze said, raising his wine glass in an attempt to toast Lu Ran, who held a glass of orange juice.
“Cheers.” Lu Ran downed the orange juice in one gulp.

After returning to his residence, Lu Ran was soon visited by the Shi Clan’s second elder, accompanied by Shi Ze. First, they delivered some rare meats and vegetables suitable for Wind-Ice attribute dog familiars. Second, they brought him an important piece of intelligence.
