Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 275 Unusual new residents

"Okay, okay, get out of the city!"

Hearing Cancan's slightly urging voice, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile.

It seems that staying in the city every day these days has indeed made this little guy with a strong desire to explore a little unable to hold back.

After being delayed for so many days, it was time to put the plan on the agenda to go out of the city together.

"Meow~" (Go out of the city to find the sound of thunder deep underground!)

Ziyun rubbed Xu Ran's face, her strange-colored pupils showing expectant eyes.

Although I haven't felt the specific circumstances of the thunder, if nothing unexpected happens, there must be something related to the thunder system.

It would be even better if its current strength could be improved!

While chatting and laughing, the three pets soon arrived at the bedroom on the thirteenth floor. After hurriedly washing up, the three pets clung to each other and soon fell asleep.

Xu Ran, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged on the bed, using the advanced meditation accelerator card that had not expired to work hard to complete his practice.

Silent all night.

Early on the next morning, when Xu Ran opened the closed door of the store, what he saw was a crowd of people waiting for him outside the store.

Seeing Xu Ran open the door, the guests who had been talking in low voices fell silent for a moment, and then started talking to each other.

"I heard that the cleansers in your store are better than Xuanmulu. Is it true?"

"Let me give it a try, you all, get out of the way and I'll test the water for you guys!"

"You can pull it off, the abacus beads are almost falling off my face, just wait in line!"

"Ow~"

"You..." Listening to the occasional sound of beast roars mixed in, Xu Ran opened his mouth, his expression gradually becoming surprised, "You're here so early?"

Although he had already expected that with yesterday's public washing and care demonstration event, there would be a lot of customers coming to the store for washing and care today.

But the store hadn't opened yet, and there were so many customers coming, which still gave Xu Ran an unexpected feeling.

You know, even when the store business in Qingzhou City and Xieyun City was at its best, it was far from this.

However, Xu Ran apparently ignored an issue.

This is Yaomu City.

All the pet beasts and extraordinary creatures here have accumulated a lot of dirt in the past few months because of the suspension of Motian Xuanmu's supply of Xuanmu Dew.

If we use the care requirements in the system appraisal to describe it, then the pet beasts and extraordinary creatures here have minimum care requirements of three stars.

Previously, although cleaning services began to appear in Yaomu City, the vast majority of people still held a wait-and-see attitude with concerns and prejudices.

until…

The pet beast that Xuan Mu Lu could not clean was transformed into a brand new one by Xu Ran's deft cleaning techniques.

This made countless people who were waiting to truly realize that cleaning and care could replace Xuanmulu, or even surpass Xuanmulu.

As a result, those pet beasts and extraordinary creatures that already have extremely high care needs will naturally be unable to sit still.

Among the long queue in front of me, there were even a handful of people who started queuing here at midnight yesterday.

After a night of fermentation, the public washing and care display spread like the wind. More and more people knew about Xinghuo Nursing Shop and rushed to it as soon as possible. When Xu Ran opened the door, it became what it is now. appearance.

"I'm the first!" Standing at the front of the team, a young man with two obvious dark circles on his face, who looked like he hadn't slept all night, raised his hand, then smiled and waved to the people behind him. He waved his hand, "I'll go in first~"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to walk into the store.

"Everyone, wait a minute, come one by one." Xu Ran gave an apologetic smile to the other customers, and then also entered the store, preparing to entertain the first customer who came to the door.

As soon as the young man with dark circles entered the store, he was attracted by the price tag hanging in the foster care store.

"Medium Pet Beast 26666..." He muttered in a low voice, and then without hesitation unfolded the summoning circle behind him, "Wash it!"

Along with the energy wind, a leopard-like beast with a length of about two meters, covered with light blue hair, stepped out of the void step by step.

It has dark blue markings on its body, and a smooth, blue-black horn on the top of its head. The most eye-catching thing is the three long tails behind it that are completely made of water.

At the same time that it appeared, the results of the system identification also appeared in front of Xu Ran.

[Race name: Three-tailed Yan Leopard

Attribute: water system

Growth level: Elite level

Body Type: Medium

Washing and care needs: ★★★☆☆

Evaluation: This is a guy who is eager enough to get the pleasure brought by the host's deft hands, so please ask the host to satisfy its needs. 】

Water type...

A thoughtful look appeared on Xu Ran's face.

After running a foster care shop for such a long time, Xu Ran also discovered some rules of care.

Among them are the laws of attributes.

The pet beasts that appear at least in laundry shops are water beasts.

The reason is that most water-type pets have the ability to clean themselves and can clean themselves for a longer period of time and maintain their peak condition.

Of course, there are a few exceptions.

For example, Liu Jinli's sea spray before, or the three-tailed leopard in front of him.

As a water-based pet beast, and a relatively rare and highly offensive pet beast among water-based beasts, the three-tailed leopard has extremely high water-based resistance, which is reflected in its fur, which is extremely resistant to water.

Its soft and fine fur can easily block the power of the water element. When facing an opponent who is also a water element, this layer of fur alone can dissolve one or two layers of the opponent's power.

God is fair, and as a price for receiving such power, the three-tailed leopard's fur cannot even penetrate their own water power.

This means that even they themselves cannot completely clean the dirt in their fur.

If things go on like this, the three-tailed Yan Bao will feel uncomfortable all over.

This is exactly what happened to the three-tailed leopard in front of me.

But this is not a problem for Xu Ran.

If there is no way to wash and protect the fur with water, then use other methods to wash and protect it.

A sand bath is a good choice.

"Come with me." Xu Ran pointed to the door of the bathroom, motioning for the three-tailed Yan Bao to follow him in, and then glanced at the young man with dark circles, "Do you want to follow?"

"Yes!" The young man with dark circles nodded heavily, with a look of expectation in his eyes, "I heard that your washing process is very irregular, I just wanted to take a look!"

The washing and care process is very informal…

The corner of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly, "Where did you hear about it?"

"Everyone says so." The dark-rimmed young man chuckled, "Boss Xu, please stop hiding it. Honestly, what did you do before you started working in the foster care shop?"

Xu Ranquan pretended not to hear, quickly quickened his steps, and soon entered the nursing room with one person and one pet.

Nowadays, the dark-eyed young man no longer has time to pay attention to Xu Ran's previous work in this field. Looking at the indoor space that is larger than the outdoor space and the luxurious and complete washing and care equipment inside, he can't help but take a breath.

He was present at yesterday's public washing and care demonstration event.

While seeing each foster care store showing off its wonderful care and treatment process, the young man with dark circles also paid attention to the various care and care equipment on the stage.

That kind of washing and care equipment gives people a very professional and insecure feeling at first glance.

At this moment, looking at the bathroom, which was much more luxurious than yesterday, the eyes of the young man with dark circles suddenly lit up.

In an environment like yesterday, Boss Xu could complete such difficult care for the beasts that Xuanmulu couldn't care for. So in a better environment today, Boss Xu's skills should be better, right?

Thinking of this, the dark-rimmed young man didn't care about anything else and quickly moved a small bench to sit down, nervously watching Xu Ran's washing process.

Not paying attention to the rich inner drama of today's first customer, Xu Ran quickly ground various resources into uniform and fine-grained bath sand, and started the first bath of the day.

Not long after, the three-tailed Yan Bao's joyful and somewhat weird voice came from the bathroom.

-

“Welcome to visit next time~”

Standing outside the door of the foster care shop, the smile on Xu Ran's face was already a little stiff.

In one morning, he received more than ten guests.

Even after trying their best, the number of guests received was still very few compared to the long queue outside the door.

Fortunately, the customers in line seemed to realize this.

Feeling that their turn was hopeless today, they dispersed one after another, preparing to wait until the latter time tomorrow to come back and have a look.

Therefore, as noon arrived, there were only a few figures still queuing outside the door.

"Welcome..." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the next guest who came forward. Xu Ran was about to greet him skillfully. After seeing his face clearly, his voice suddenly stopped and the smile on his face became a little more lively. "Tutu, you're here too."

"Yeah!" Seeing Xu Ran again, Li Tutu's face was full of excitement, "Mr. Xu, I saw the whole process of your care yesterday!"

"You are really amazing! When the Exquisite King of Flowers came on stage, I was almost nervous to death. I didn't expect that you could even protect the pet beasts that the Beast Emperor cannot protect."

"It's just that Xuan Mulu can't cleanse and protect it. The Beast Emperor will definitely be more powerful if he takes action himself." Xu Ran smiled modestly, "So you also came to me to protect you?"

"Yes!" Li Tutu nodded heavily and followed Xu Ran into the store. He quickly saw the price list hanging on the wall of the store.

He chuckled, scratching his head with a somewhat honest expression on his face, "Fortunately, my pet is only a small pet, so I can save a lot of money on its care!"

While he was talking, a small hamster with dark golden hair, no more than the size of a palm, poked its head out of the chest pocket of his clothes.

Carefully joining his hands together and picking up the little hamster from his chest pocket, Li Tutu smiled at Xu Ran and said, "Mr. Xu, this is my pet animal."

"Golden Beard Rat." Xu Ran nodded slightly.

He could recognize this petite and good-looking earth-type pet beast without the need for systematic identification.

Different from the characteristics of conventional earth-type pet beasts, which are large in size, heavy in defense, and large in output range, the golden-whiskered rat is famous for its dexterity and strong exploration ability.

The elite race has four innate skills, two of which are exploration skills, one of the remaining two skills is a movement skill, and only one attack type skill, and its offensiveness is not strong.

Such characteristics make it more of a supporting role in the pet team.

Unexpectedly, Li Tutu would choose such a pet beast as his first pet.

"Xiao Jin, let me take you to the bathroom next time!" Li Tutu was not surprised when Xu Ran recognized the origin of his pet beast. He carefully held Xiao Jin and followed Xu Ran into the bathroom. Guard room.

Noticing this scene, Xu Ran raised his brows slightly.

How do you feel... Li Tutu's attitude towards his pet beast is a bit strange?

But he didn't say much. After one person and one pet entered, he slowly closed the door of the bathroom.

Washing and caring for the golden-whiskered rat, which is considered very small among small pet animals, did not waste much time on Xu Ran. About ten minutes later, the brand-new golden-whiskered rat lay lazily in the palm of Li Tutu's hand. , left the bathroom.

Compared with when it went in, its dark golden hair became extremely smooth at this moment, shining with a bright golden luster under the light, making it look like a precious treasure.

Its slender pure golden beards were maintained and trimmed straight by Xu Ran, adding a bit of nobility to it.

Li Tutu was obviously very satisfied with the cleaning effect. He couldn't stop the smile on his face and paid without hesitation as soon as he came out.

"Mr. Xu, thank you very much for your care! Xiao Jin looks really good now."

"This is what I should do." Xu Ran smiled, "You don't have to keep calling me Mr. Xu, just call me Boss Xu like other guests."

"Okay, Boss Xu." Li Tutu followed suit.

"Hmm..." Xu Ran nodded and looked at the golden-whiskered rat that Li Tutu had always held in his palm. He couldn't help but ask the doubts he had always had when he was washing the animal. "Your attitude towards your pet animal seems a bit... special?"

"Eh?" Li Tutu looked at Xu Ran and then at the golden-whiskered rat in the palm of his hand, "What's so special?"

"I think you seem to be keeping it as a pet." Xu Ran thought for a moment and then slowly said, "During the whole cleaning and care process, you showed too much concern for it, as if it was not your pet, but Just like your pets."

Hearing this, before Li Tutu could react, the golden-whiskered rat that always looked lazy in his palm had already opened its small eyes and looked at Xu Ran with a look full of recognition.

"Pet beasts... pets..." A confused look appeared on Li Tutu's face. He thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Boss Xu, is there any difference?"

<divclass="contentadv"> "Of course there is a difference." Xu Ran was dumbfounded, "The pet beast is the partner of the beast master. The relationship between the two should be comrades and friends, but pets will not be like this."

"Partner?" Li Tutu looked at the golden-whiskered rat in the palm of his hand, with a warm smile on his face, "Boss Xu, Xiao Jin actually woke up unexpectedly."

"It started out as my little pet hamster."

"A long time ago, I picked up the dying Xiao Jin from the garbage dump. I found that it was still breathing, so I quickly took it home to take care of it."

"Maybe it's because Xiao Jin is very strong. I really pulled him back from the edge of life and death. After taking good care of him, he recovered to health."

"Since then, the two of us have been dependent on each other."

"Is that so?" Xu Ran had a look of surprise on his face.

He suddenly remembered that when he first explained Ziyun's origin to the outside world, he said that Ziyun was a stray cat he picked up and accidentally awakened into a supernatural creature.

Of course, Ziyun's experience was false. It actually completed its awakening with the help of the Awakening Stone.

And the pet beast of the young man in front of him seemed to have awakened unexpectedly.

"Then what happened to its awakening?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.

"This..." Li Tutu touched the golden-bearded rat with a thoughtful look on his face. He quickly thought of the details at that time and spoke slowly, "At that time, I was the same as now, giving food to humans at Yaomu Market. The beastmaster serves as a guide.”

"I was not a beast master at that time. I worked as a guide to make money to support my family, so I only received money in return."

"Then one day, a customer didn't have any money, so he gave me an extraordinary earth-type resource as compensation." Li Tutu had a smile on his face.

"That resource is worth four or five beast master points, which is several times my guide fee. Although I don't need the resources, I still agreed."

"At that time, Xiao Jin showed a special preference for that earth resource. I saw that he liked it, so I didn't exchange it for money, but kept it as a toy for him."

"Then one day, I woke up and found that the resource had been eaten by Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin became what he is now."

"I think its awakening was due to eating that resource, right?" At this point, Li Tutu's tone became a little more uncertain.

After all, he had never heard of such a situation.

"Are you eating resources..." Xu Ran touched his chin.

Ordinary creatures that eat resources containing extraordinary power will have only one outcome, and that is to die directly.

Extraordinary awakening cannot be such a simple thing.

However, from Li Tutu's description, Xu Ran had some other guesses.

Perhaps, this golden-bearded rat already had some affinity for the extraordinary power of the earth system, so after getting along with that earth system resource every day, it absorbed enough earth system power over time and completed its own awakening.

That earth resource was the first meal the golden-bearded rat ate after awakening.

When you think about it this way, things start to make sense.

"As for what Boss Xu said, I treat Xiao Jin as a pet..." Li Tutu scratched his head, "Maybe it's because I got along with Xiao Jin like this before he woke up, so I'm somewhat used to it?"

"Squeak~"

As he finished speaking, Xiao Jin, who was lying lazily in his arms, suddenly stood up and sat upright, shaking his head towards him, with a humanized light flashing in his eyes.

"Eh?" A look of astonishment flashed in Li Tutu's eyes, "Xiao Jin, you..."

Through contract induction, Xiao Jin clearly expressed his thoughts to him.

It is already a pet that can take care of itself, it is not a pet that just lies in Li Tutu's palm every day!

"So this is what you were thinking." Li Tutu looked a little embarrassed, "But why didn't you say it before?"

"Squeak~"

Xiao Jin made a few more gestures, and then glanced at Xu Ran.

Li Tutu understood.

Because they had been getting along like this all the time, Xiao Jin didn't know how to speak.

Now that Boss Xu's inquiry put the issue on the table, Xiao Jin bravely expressed his thoughts.

From the time Xiaojin awakened as a golden-whiskered rat to now, he has not trained it in any pet animal skills, nor has he used the golden-whiskered rat's skills. He still keeps it as a pet that can do nothing and keeps it with him. .

This way of getting along is not what Xiaojin wants!

"I understand." Li Tutu nodded, with a hint of astonishment on his face, "In that case, I will treat you as a contract partner from now on!"

"Squeak~"

The golden-bearded rat nodded with satisfaction, stood up from Li Tutu's hand, climbed lightly along his arm, and soon stood on Li Tutu's shoulder, rubbed Li Tutu's face, and then His face looked left and right seriously, as if to give him some relief.

Seeing that the golden-bearded rat had changed from its usual lazy look, Li Tutu also realized that his past actions were indeed somewhat inappropriate.

He glanced at Xu Ran gratefully and said, "Boss Xu, in that case, let's take our leave first."

"Let's go slowly. Welcome to come back next time." Xu Ran smiled and waved to the departing figures of one person and one pet, and then stood up.

The small talk just now took up a lot of time, so this morning's business will stop here.

Sensing a figure entering the door, Xu Ran said without looking back, "Hello, business is closed in the morning. Please come back in the afternoon."

What responded to him was a somewhat confused voice.

"grumble?"

Um? Not human?

Hearing this voice, Xu Ran couldn't help but turn his head and look.

Standing at the door of the store is a guy with a round head and a body about 1.5 meters tall. It looks a bit like a honey badger, but it doesn't have as slender body as a honey badger. Instead, it looks a bit short and fat. Silly.

With just one glance, Xu Ran recognized the other person's race.

A fighting pet beast, a silly fighting badger.

Even though this guy's name and appearance are both related to fools, his combat power is at the top level among the races in the fighting system, and he has four two-star talent skills.

So, this is a wild badger?

After waiting for a while but not waiting for its beast master to show up, Xu Ran subconsciously made this judgment.

He walked quickly to the silly badger, "Are you here to wash and protect him too?"

This is not the first time he has received care from wild extraordinary creatures.

No problem!

Hearing Xu Ran's question, Han Dou Badger's little ears twitched, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he quickly shook his head.

"Gee~"

"No?" Xu Ran looked a little surprised, "Then why are you here?"

Seemingly aware of the difficulty in communication between itself and the humans in front of it, the Badger did not continue to speak. It looked around and quickly found the price tag on the wall of the foster care shop.

Wandering up to the price tags, Han Dou Badger glanced at each price tag and finally settled on one of them.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Badger slapped one of the price tags.

[Elite pet animal foster care: 6666/day]

After looking at the price tag and then at the elite-level Han Dou Badger, Xu Ran spoke in an uncertain voice after a while.

"You want foster care?!"

"Gee~"

Seeing that Xu Ran finally understood what he meant, Han Dou Badger nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay." Xu Ran rubbed his eyebrows, and the expression on his face gradually became weird.

It’s understandable that wild extraordinary creatures come to care for you.

But taking care of a wild supernatural creature... was a bit beyond his understanding.

Come, translate, what does sending mean? keep!

All right, how could the stupid badger in front of me have such thoughts?

"You have to think about it, the foster care fee in our store is not cheap, you..." Xu Ran was just about to use the price to make the other party think twice, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Dou Badger's crisp movements.

"Snapped!"

Han Dou Badger slapped a resource surging with extraordinary energy on the counter and looked at Xu Ran, as if asking if this was enough.

Xu Ran: "..."

Looking at the extraordinary elite fighting resources in front of him, which were worth about 70 beast master points converted into beast master points, Xu Ran had to nod and admit that this was indeed enough.

"Gee~"

Han Dou Badger nodded with satisfaction, and then made a slightly urgent sound, as if urging Xu Ran to take it to the foster care area.

Even after paying the money, Xu Ran could only accept this somewhat special business with tears in her eyes.

"Follow me." Xu Ran walked out of the counter and patted the silly badger on the shoulder, instructing it to follow him into the elevator, and then both of them went straight to the second floor.

When the elevator door opened again, what appeared in front of Foolish Badger was a foster care area that was so vast that the end could not be seen at a glance.

Looking left and right, Han Dou Badger clearly had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

It's a big place, and although it's a bit desolate, it's still very nice to feel the rich extraordinary energy!

"Do you have any requirements for the foster care environment?" Xu Ran asked while taking out the center for adjusting the foster care area.

"grumble?"

Can you make your own request?

Hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, Han Dou Badger had an unexpected look in his eyes.

It thought that the place in front of it was the place where it wanted to live, but it didn't expect that it could be modified again.

In this case…

Han Dou Badger punched a few times on the spot, "Hey ha", then rolled on the ground, stood up again, and looked at Xu Ran.

"Gee~"

Humanity, that's all I ask for!

"No problem!" Xu Ran nodded.

Although Han Dou Badger's body language is a bit abstract, he already understands it after having had experience communicating with many extraordinary creatures.

The other party wants a place where they can do boxing training, and they also want a big bed that they can roll over.

After skillfully adjusting the venue and setting up its living area in accordance with the fighting beast's habits and the Han Dou Badger's own requirements, Xu Ran clapped his hands under the dumbfounded gaze of the Han Dou Badger, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare it for you. Some food."

food!

The silly badger quickly recovered from the shock of the sudden change in its living area. Being a glutton by nature, it couldn't help but touch its belly, which had not eaten for half a day, and then wiped the saliva from the corner of its mouth, looking extremely gluttonous. The appearance.

"Gee~"

Hurry up!

Without letting the stupid badger wait too long, Xu Ran quickly brought out a large food bowl filled with various foods and placed it in front of it.

Smelling the alluring aroma of food, the stupid badger kept sniffing, and finally couldn't help but put his head in front of the food bowl and quickly started to eat.

Seeing that it didn't look like it was eating, Xu Ran shook his head and chuckled.

"How long has it been since you've eaten?"
