Chapter 343 - Choices Matter More Than Effort
Stellar Moon Continent, Imperial Beast City.
As the capital of the Beastmaster Empire, Imperial Beast City was teeming with powerful individuals, making it the most concentrated hub of human combat strength on the Stellar Moon Continent. Although the Beastmaster Empire was currently besieged by the Four Great Beast Empires, leaving countless provinces in misery, the capital remained a scene of prosperity.
As Lu Ran walked along the bustling streets, he listened to the vendors’ shouts.
“The year is 996 of the Beastmaster Era. Master hasn’t even been born yet. The only identity I can leverage is the lineage of Emperor Yan Sizhen.”
This time, Limitless City had assigned Lu Ran the identity of a talented individual who had answered the empire’s national conscription call, coming from the common folk to seek fortune and glory in Imperial Beast City.
To counter the Four Great Beast Empires, the empire had not only launched a nationwide conscription but also promised powerful beastmasters official titles and ranks. As a result, many hidden experts had recently flocked to the imperial capital in pursuit of opportunities.
Lu Ran guessed that the other participants likely had similar identities. However, the task was to capture and contract a top-tier familiar, not to secure an official position through personal strength. In theory, distributing participants across the entire nation wouldn’t affect the mission. Yet, Limitless City had still gathered them in Imperial Beast City, making its intentions clear.
Stellar Moon Continent was too big, and finding a top-tier familiar was no easy feat. Even with three years, let alone 30 days, it wouldn’t be easy for a few level 3 beastmasters to find one.
What participants needed most was information on the locations and acquisition methods of top-tier familiars. As for where to obtain such intelligence, the major Legendary familiess or the military in Imperial Beast City were the best sources.
This place was not only the political center of the Beastmaster Empire but also the intelligence hub of the entire empire. Thus, in Lu Ran’s view, this was likely a preliminary task.
He quickly analyzed his next steps. As he had just thought, the fastest way was to latch onto a powerful faction and leverage their intelligence network to find a top-tier familiar.
