Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 306: Pet beast washing and protection exhibition?

"Squeak~"

With a slight sound, the classical door opened a crack.

After seeing the person outside the door, the door of Shuguang Building 1 was slowly opened, but the face of the person inside the door was obviously a little impatient, "Are you bringing someone to see the building again?"

"Mr. Zhao has met again, let me introduce him." Zhang Li had a smile on her face and was not affected by the other party's impatient tone. "This is Mr. Xu Ran, the beast control master who came all the way from Yaomu City. .”

After introducing Xu Ran, she naturally turned to look at Xu Ran, "This is Mr. Zhao Henian, the owner of Shuguang Building No. 1."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Xu Ran smiled politely, "I intend to acquire Shuguang Building No. 1, but according to Ms. Zhao, this does not seem to be a simple matter."

"It seems you already know." Zhao Henian's face softened a little, "My building will only be sold to the people I want to sell it to, otherwise I will not sell it no matter how much the price is."

"Then what kind of person can be regarded as the person Mr. Zhao wants to sell?" Xu Ran asked with a smile, "Can you tell me more specifically?"

"That's okay." Zhao Henian's expression became calmer as if appreciating Xu Ran's attitude. "Those who buy Shuguang No. 1 Building must meet two conditions."

"My Shuguang Building No. 1 can be said to be the best location on Guangming Avenue, bar none."

"So the first condition is that the person who buys it must be the undisputed number one in the field he wants to operate, so that it can match my Shuguang No. 1 Building."

"This is the main reason why no one has been able to buy Shuguang No. 1 Building in the past few months." Zhang Li explained softly on the side, "Those who want to buy this building basically want to take advantage of the geography of Shuguang No. 1 Building. The advantages go even further.”

"Those who are the undisputed number one in their business fields will be very cautious when changing store locations when they already have a customer base."

"I understand." A look of surprise appeared on Xu Ran's face.

Indeed, operators who can become the number one in various industries will not easily change the location of their stores, because this may cause the loss of existing customers.

but…

It shouldn’t be difficult for other operators to buy Shuguang Building 1 and use the geographical advantages here to open a branch, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Ran had a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The next moment, Zhao Henian's words answered all his doubts.

"This second condition..." Zhao Henian spoke slowly, "The operator who buys Shuguang No. 1 Building can only operate Shuguang No. 1 Building as the only store in Minghui City and is not allowed to open branches."

Xu Ran: "..."

This condition is a bit harsh.

"Mr. Zhao is an architectural designer. He is both the owner and the designer of Shuguang No. 1 Building." Zhang Li smiled helplessly and explained softly, "In Mr. Zhao's heart, Shuguang No. 1 Building is like His children."

"Yes, that's right." Zhao Henian nodded in agreement, "Young man, you should be able to understand the feeling of wanting to entrust your child to a suitable person, right?"

"That way, I can understand it a little better." Xu Ran touched his chin and nodded slightly.

Isn't this the mentality of a father-in-law who wants his future son-in-law to be excellent but doesn't want his future son-in-law to be a scumbag?

Although this kind of mentality is a bit weird here, after thinking about it from his perspective, Xu Ran chose to respect it.

"Mr. Zhao, I can meet your second condition." Xu Ran said slowly, "To be honest with you, I plan to buy Shuguang No. 1 Building and run a foster care shop."

"Although I also have stores in other cities, I can guarantee that there will only be one store in Minghui City."

"Well..." Zhao Henian was silent for a moment, "Suanyou meets the second condition."

"As for the first condition..." Xu Ran paused slightly, "I still have some confidence in becoming the number one in the foster care industry in Minghui City, but now that I have just arrived in Minghui City, how can I prove this? ?”

"If it's in other industries, you really can't prove it, and you're not qualified to buy my store." Zhao Henian glanced at Xu Ran, "But in the foster care industry... there happens to be an opportunity to prove this right now."

"Oh?" Xu Ran had a hint of curiosity on his face, "What opportunity?"

"Mr. Zhao is talking about the triennial animal care exhibition in Minghui City." Zhang Li said with a smile, "In fact, I planned to tell you about this after helping Mr. Xu buy a store. of."

Xu Ran's eyes lit up instantly.

The hair care exhibition sounds similar to the open-air hair care exhibition held in Yaomu City.

The previous open-air washes brought a huge amount of customer traffic to the Xinghuo Nursing Store, and the popularity of the Xinghuo Nursing Store reached 50% of the task requirements in a short period of time.

Now if we can replicate the process of skyrocketing popularity in Minghui City through similar activities, that would be great for Xu Ran!

Xu Ran naturally did not forget the purpose of coming to Minghui City.

Opening a store in Minghui City is only the next best thing. The most important thing is to guard the extermination thunder.

If you complete the visibility task requirements as soon as possible, you can summon three system clerks to take over the store in Minghui City as soon as possible.

Then, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper, collecting the profits of four stores while making more preparations with the three little ones to fight for the extermination thunder.

Therefore, the top priority is to increase the reputation of Xinghuo Nursing Home!

"Ms. Zhang, can you elaborate?"

"No problem." Zhang Li smiled, "Cleaning and caring is not only an improvement in appearance, but also an important way to maintain the state and body functions of pet beasts. Therefore, the Minghui City Beast Masters Association encourages more aspects of care. talents appear.”

"The pet animal care exhibition is an event created for this purpose."

"Cleaners who are good at caring for pet animals can sign up and receive pets who come to care for the animals during the two-day care exhibition."

"When the cleaning and care exhibition is over, the association will select a 'Safeguarding Master' based on the praise of the pets who have received care, and award titles and bonuses."

"The pet care exhibition is held every three years, and the latest one will be held in three days. You can sign up at any time before it starts." Zhang Li smiled at Xu Ran, "Mr. Xu came at the right time."

"If you can obtain the title of 'Saint Hands of Cleansing', you will be worthy of my Dawn Building No. 1." Zhao Henian crossed his arms and spoke expressionlessly.

It can be seen from his eyes that he has no hope for this.

"Is that so..." Xu Ran smiled, "Then let's try it."

After listening to Zhang Li's introduction to this pet beast, he made up his mind.

He had to participate in this event.

"Mr. Zhao, if you're sorry for disturbing me today, I'll take my leave first." Xu Ran stood up, bowed his hands to Zhao Henian, turned around and walked out of Shuguang No. 1 Building.

Zhang Li followed closely and walked out with a smile, "Mr. Xu, how about I show you other stores for sale?"

"Alright."

Xu Ran did not refuse and followed Zhang Li to check out other stores for sale.

It's just that Zhuyu was in front of him, and he had seen Shuguang No. 1 Building. Looking at other stores, Xu Ran always felt that it was a little bit less interesting.

After looking around, Xu Ran not only did not give up, but even wanted to win Shuguang No. 1 Building.

If you get the title of "Saint Care Hand" at the Pet Care Exhibition and have the geographical advantage of the store, you can be a hands-on shopkeeper in a week at most.

Do you understand the value of a hands-off shopkeeper?

"It seems that Mr. Xu still likes Shuguang No. 1 Building." Zhang Li pursed her lips and smiled, showing an unexpected expression. "In that case, I wish Mr. Xu good results in the pet care exhibition."

"You really have to work hard." Xu Ran smiled and waved Zhang Li away, then turned to look at the three little ones following him, "Let's take care of the store first, and then we will make full preparations to fight for the extermination thunder. "

"Meow!" (No problem!)

Ziyun waved his paw, looking full of energy.

Wash and care, it will also help!

The extinct thunder and lightning have been dormant in Luo Lei Valley for so long, not less than these few days!

and…

Ziyun had a premonition.

When the extermination thunder is about to appear, it may have some secret perception.

Because the power of the Extinction Thunder is slightly similar to the black power it merged with after it cast Divine Punishment, there may be some resonance between the two.

Ziyun expressed this, and Xingchen and Cancan naturally had no objections.

"Then next, we will find a hotel in Minghui City to stay temporarily for two days. When the pet beast cleaning exhibition begins, we can get familiar with the environment of Minghui City." Xu Ran stretched and pointed not far away at.

"That hotel looks good, go check it out."

-

Time flies and two days pass.

In the past two days, Xu Ran and Sanxiao enjoyed the rare period of peace after the catastrophe in the Yaomu Domain. The ups and downs of their moods caused by witnessing the evolution of the Sky Black Tree were also heightened by the new things they saw in Minghui City in the past two days. It calmed down a lot.

The first battle of the Spark Nursing Home in Minghui City is about to begin.

On the first day of the pet care exhibition, Xu Ran, who had already completed registration in advance, showed up at the pet care exhibition with three little pets.

It was a huge open space, on which a hundred closed washing rooms were temporarily built that could accommodate large pet beasts for washing and care.

Those who sign up to participate in the pet care exhibition will draw lots to choose the corresponding care room. In the next two days, they will receive animal masters and their pets from all over Minghui City. The care is free and the care process is The resource consumption in the game will be paid by the Beast Masters Association.

It is not only a performance stage for nursing talents, but also a small benefit given by the Beast Masters Association to all the Beast Masters in Minghui City.

"Hello, I'm Xu Ran. I'm signing up to participate in the exhibition." Walking up to the organizer's staff, Xu Ran took out his registration voucher and asked, "When will the lottery selection of the nursing room start?"

"The lottery will be drawn on a first-come, first-served basis. Please come over here." Soon, the staff took Xu Ran to the lottery place.

"Cha!" (I'll smoke it!)

Cancan raised a paw and volunteered.

Let the Dragon Turtle King, who controls good luck, draw the best washroom on the field!

"Okay, come on." Seeing Cancan's excitement, Xu Ran stepped aside with a smile.

I saw Cancan striding forward confidently, reaching out a paw to touch the lottery box, and then grabbed a closed metal tube.

The staff member took the metal tube, opened it skillfully, took out one of the rolled drawings, spread it out and displayed it.

It was a layout diagram of all the washing rooms in the Pet Animal Care Exhibition, but one of the washing rooms was completely different from the other washing rooms and was painted in eye-catching red.

That was the location of the bathroom that Cancan helped Xu Ran draw.

When he saw that position, Cancan's expression, which had been full of pride and confidence before, instantly collapsed.

Because that location is not only remote, but also far from the entrance to the exhibition area.

Even if he didn't know much about business, Cancan could tell that it was not a good position.

"Cha~" (Damn it, my luck is gone today...)

Its high-raised head slowly lowered, and its expression suddenly became wilted.

"It's okay." Xu Ran smiled hoarsely and touched Cancan's head to express comfort.

He did not expect that Cancan's luck was so bad.

In such a washing and care exhibition, the comparison of washing and care effects is clear at a glance. Even a layman can easily judge which one is strong and which one is weak. The location of the washing room will only affect it temporarily.

The problem is not big.

"Cha!" (I will try my best to attract customers!)

Cancan took a deep breath and shouted.

If luck doesn’t work, then rely on hard work!

"Well...come on." Xu Ran smiled.

I hope Cancan doesn't make any mistakes this time.

Taking the drawing of the instructions for the nursing room, Xu Ran turned around and left with the three little ones, and soon appeared in front of the door of his own nursing room.

At the door of the vacant nursing room, there is an empty plaque and ink on a white background, allowing participating caregivers to write their own name of the nursing room for easy identification and distinction.

<divclass="contentadv">Dipping the tip of the pen full of ink, Xu Ran wrote the five characters "Xinghuo Nursing Home" without hesitation. He took two steps back to look at the overall effect, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Starfire Nursing Home?"

A curious voice suddenly came from not far away. A middle-aged man walked out of the bathroom next door with a searching look on his face. "Little brother, you look a little angry, don't you?"

"Hello, uncle." Xu Ran smiled and nodded at the other party, "I just came to Minghui City not long ago."

"So that's it." The middle-aged man understood. "So, is this Xinghuo Nursing Home the nursing home where you work now? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Well...this is the store I'm planning to open." Xu Ran smiled shyly.

Middle-aged man: “…”

Isn't it open yet?

For a moment, the middle-aged man's expression relaxed slightly.

He was unlucky in the lottery and got such a rubbish position, which already made him not have much hope of getting good results in this washing and care exhibition. If there was a strong competitor next to him at this time, his results would be even less hopeful. .

Therefore, after noticing Xu Ran, the new neighbor, the middle-aged man immediately came over to inquire about the news.

Although Xu Ran is not very old, there are also protectors in Minghui City who are younger than him and have ridiculously strong cleaning skills. There is no guarantee that the young man in front of him is not a hidden dark horse.

But after hearing Xu Ran's origin, the middle-aged man felt relieved.

If you come from out of town, there are no stores.

It’s not his fault, there is no nearby city whose overall cleaning and care level is comparable to that of Minghui City!

After all, there are very few cities like Minghui City that value cleaning services and cultivate nursing talents!

Therefore, the young man in front of him cannot be a big threat.

"Little brother, I'm optimistic about you." Thinking of this, the middle-aged man patted Xu Ran on the shoulder with a smile, "It's fate that we were chosen to be in the adjacent bathroom. Let's take care of each other in the next two days!"

"Okay." Xu Ran smiled.

The colleagues in Minghui City are quite enthusiastic.

While the two were chatting, more and more caregivers were drawn into the room one after another, and each vacant bathroom soon had its own owner.

Immediately afterwards, a penetrating bell sounded throughout the entire cleaning and care exhibition venue.

"clang--"

"Brother Xu, this is the bell that marks the beginning of the skin care exhibition. We will chat later when we have time." The middle-aged man waved towards Xu Ran and ended the chat with a bit of unfinished content.

"Uncle Liu, let's chat next time." Xu Ran smiled and waved in response. From the previous chat, he already knew that the other party's name was Liu Cang.

Watching Liu Cang enter his bathroom, Xu Ran took a deep breath, stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the entrance of the venue.

The beast masters who had already heard the news and were waiting outside the entrance gate had already filed in through the opened entrance and began to look for their favorite caregivers for their pet beasts.

"We have to work hard too."

Turning to look at the three energetic little ones behind him, Xu Ran smiled and spoke.

"Cha!" (I'm ready!)

Cancan waved her paws vigorously in the air and stood outside the washroom with her head held high. While guarding the washroom, she was ready to attract customers.

"Let's go, the three of us go in." Patting Cancan's head to tell him to cheer up, Xu Ran led Ziyun and Xingchen into the bathroom.

During the next two days of cleaning, they both also had their own tasks.

As Xu Ran's assistant, Ziyun is responsible for helping Xu Ran obtain various resources.

Xingchen serves as logistical support, linking Xu Ran with the chain of destiny, providing Xu Ran with a steady stream of power and ensuring his explosive power.

One person and three pets, each in his place.

Next, it’s time to wait for the first customer to arrive.

-

"Oh, Yueyue, hurry up! If you are later, there will be a long queue!"

On the way to the pet care exhibition, a short-haired girl put her hands on her hips and looked helplessly at another girl behind her who was walking slowly and with a calm expression, "You're so impatient that you're really going to kill me!"

"Don't be anxious." Seeing the impatient look on the little sister's face, Qiu Yue smiled hoarsely, "Being too anxious sometimes may not be a good thing."

"You say that every time." The short-haired girl Jiang Min rolled her eyes, "But it's been ten minutes since the pet care exhibition started. Do you know how many people lined up in advance just to be the first to have a smooth care?" .”

"This is a welfare event held only once every three years by the Beastmasters Association, giving all the beastmasters' pets the opportunity to enjoy free care!"

"I know, I've done my homework." Qiu Yue stepped forward and patted Jiang Min on the shoulder, "You are so anxious, then let me ask you, have you decided which carer to choose to care for your pet? What?"

"Of course it's Du Qian from the Du family!" Jiang Min said without hesitation. When he said the name, stars seemed to be twinkling in his eyes, "He is only twenty-one years old, and he is already a member of Baihua Nursing Home. The chief hygienist."

"And~ he's very handsome~ hehehe~"

"Okay, okay, stop being such a nympho." Qiu Yue shook her head and smiled, and at the same time curled up the corner of her mouth slightly, "I heard that he was able to become the chief caregiver of Baihua Nursing Home because the original chief caregiver The division has gone to other cities to open branches.”

"The fact that Brother Qi'an can become the chief caregiver also means that he is the second best caregiver in Baihua Nursing Home!" Jiang Min snorted, "What about you, Yueyue, which caregiver do you plan to choose? ?”

"I'm not sure yet." Qiu Yue said with a smile, "At the skin care exhibition, the level of skin care of the car washers is clear at a glance. Naturally, you have to look more to make a decision."

"That's why I'm not in a hurry. Let the people in front inspect the goods for us first~"

"Eh?" Jiang Min's eyes widened, "Can it still be like this?"

"Of course." Qiu Yue blinked, "Cleaning and grooming at the cleaning and care exhibition is free, but a pet animal can only be washed and cared for once, and cannot be washed and cared for repeatedly, so you must choose the best."

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Jiang Min nodded, and then quickly added, "But the best caregiver is definitely Brother Qi'an!"

"Okay, okay, you idiot." Qiu Yue rolled her eyes and gave up arguing with her companion.

While the two women were talking and laughing, the entrance to the pet animal care exhibition was getting closer and closer.

After verifying his identity and entering the skin care exhibition venue, Jiang Min quickly exclaimed loudly, "Yueyue, look!"

Qiu Yue looked in the direction of Jiang Min's finger and soon saw a handsome young man wearing white protective clothing with a gentle smile on his slightly immature face.

He was talking to a customer who had finished washing, and then welcomed the next customer into the washing room.

On the door of the nursing room, the characters "Baihua Du Qian" were written clearly, and the queue in front of the nursing room had formed a long queue early, and it was so crowded.

"Brother Qi'an got a good position! You can see it as soon as you enter. It seems that the title of 'Saint Hand of Cleansing' is stable this time." Jiang Min chuckled.

"Sure enough, good-looking people will not have bad luck."

-

"Ah!"

Xu Ran, who was sitting in a daze at the door of the nursing room, sneezed suddenly, rubbed his nose, and looked helplessly in the direction of the entrance.

Different from the crowded and bustling scene at the entrance, his location can be described as deserted.

Originally ambitious, Xu Ran himself was a little doubtful at this moment.

With such a huge gap in passenger flow, can he really get the title of No. 1 and buy Shuguang No. 1 Building?

Fortunately, as time went by, many beast masters noticed the deserted situation here, gave up crowding at the entrance, and wanted to come here to have a look.

There were gradually more passers-by in the nearby area.

Seeing a beastmaster stopping at the door of his bathroom, Xu Ran stood up suddenly, showing a bright and polite smile, "Welcome..."

Before Xu Ran could finish his words of welcome, he saw the beast master glance at the five characters "Xinghuo Nursing Home" on the plaque, shake his head and turn around to Liu Cang's nursing room.

Xu Ran: "..."

Rubbing his face fiercely, he touched his waist. As if by magic, a rattle appeared in his hand, and then he shook it vigorously.

"Come on! Take a look!"

“Perfect washing and care experience that will leave you wanting more!”

-

"Jiang Jiang, do you really want to line up here?" Qiu Yue held her companion's hand and looked at the long queue in front of her. She couldn't help but hold her forehead, "There are dozens of people in front of me, and it will take at least ten hours for them to finish washing. "

"It's okay~" Jiang Min waved his hand with an indifferent expression, "Usually, you can't make an appointment for Brother Qi'an's cleaning service at Baihua Nursing Store, and the price is very expensive. Now you just have to wait in line and it's free. "

"If you think about it this way, what does a mere ten hours count?"

"You are so impatient, but you can bear to wait for more than ten hours at this time." Qiu Yue was speechless, "Then you line up here, I will go look elsewhere."

She is just slow-tempered, not stupid.

Waiting in line for more than ten hours is too painful.

It's better to see if there are any car washers who don't need to wait too long and have good washing and care skills.

"Yeah, go ahead~"

Jiang Min's mind was entirely focused on her brother Qi'an. She waved her hand casually to her companion, then tried to stand on tiptoes and looked in the direction of the nursing room.

Seeing the appearance of his companion, Qiu Yue sighed, turned around and left.

Looking at the washing room where there were at least a dozen people queuing around, Qiu Yue quickly looked to the area further away from the entrance.

The flow of people there is much less visible to the naked eye. Not to mention the long queues, there are very few people queuing at the door.

"Let's see if we can find something missing." Qiu Yue muttered, then walked away from the entrance with her unhurried pace and walked deeper.

As far as she knew, the pet care booths at the pet care exhibition were determined by drawing lots, so the carer at the entrance was in a good location, but was not necessarily the best carer.

On the contrary, there may be dusty pearls in those remote areas.

What Qiu Yue has to do is to find one of them.

As she walked and looked around, Qiu Yue's position was getting deeper and deeper. Finally, she stopped and looked at the plaque on the door of a certain nursing room.

"Cang Yun·Liu Cang"

"Is he the owner of Cangyun Nursing Home?" Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

She had heard of the Guardian.

Cangyun foster care shop can only be regarded as a middling foster care shop in Minghui City.

The reason why we can't go further is because the service level of Cangyun Nursing Home varies between good and bad.

Liu Cang, the owner of Cangyun Nursing Home, has a standard that is no less than that of the top three nursing homes in Minghui City, but he is only good at washing and caring. The other two services can only be left to others, and the person in charge of those two services , the level is not very high.

As a result, the upper limit of Cangyun Nursing Home has been lowered.

But this does not prevent Liu Cang, the owner of Cangyun Nursing Home, from having a high level of care.

Go try it?

Thinking of this, Qiu Yue walked towards the nursing room where Liu Cang was.

At this moment, a beast master with a satisfied smile on his face walked out of the care room with the pet beast that had been cared for.

Seeing the state of the pet beast after being cared for, Qiu Yue became more determined.

The next moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the side.

"Boss Xu, my eyes have really been opened today!"

Qiu Yue paused slightly and turned to look.

Was it the caregiver in the nearby bathroom who sent the beast master guest out?

She casually glanced at the pet beast held in the arms of the beast master, and then her eyes widened.

This…
