Unserious Beast Tamer

The attributes of koi are a mysterious and mysterious concept.

It may only work for a certain person or a certain type of people, or it may bring good luck to everyone.

However, people with this attribute will not have the words "I am a koi" on their heads, so it is difficult to directly determine whether they really exist.

As for how to judge his own koi, Xu Ran has a simple and crude way of judging, that is, whether he can continuously obtain the highest skills that his hair can currently obtain from the other party.

This set of judgment methods has been tried and tested repeatedly in the past.

When he was still in Qingzhou City, Xu Ran's hair had just been upgraded from D level to C level, and the highest skill he could obtain had changed from one star to two stars. At that time, Liu Gu, who had successively obtained two star skills, became his first koi. .

By the time they arrived at Jieyun City, Xu Ran's hair growth had been upgraded to level B, and the highest skill he could obtain became a three-star skill. In the same way, he discovered the koi attributes of the Qin siblings.

It's a pity that Xu Ran didn't meet such a person later in Yaomu City.

But now, in Minghui City, the situation seems to have changed.

The koi girl Qiu Yue I met the day before yesterday was just an elite beast master.

She does not have a royal race pet, and it is impossible to obtain three-star skills from her pet beast through hair removal, so her koi attributes have another way of expression.

Obtain two two-star skills at once.

Just today, Xu Ran met a beast master guest who had obtained four three-star skills one after another, but the opponent was not a koi, and he had no purple in ten consecutive years.

In addition, the Blue-Eyed Razor that was just cleaned also received a three-star skill...

Xu Ran stood still, raised his head slightly, and looked at the ceiling.

So is there a possibility...

It's not the two guests in front of me that have the attributes of koi, but this building?

"Boss Xu, the money has been paid and we are leaving!" Zhang Peng's voice brought Xu Ran back to his senses.

Looking at Du Zhou and Zhang Peng who were already standing in front of the store with their brand-new pets and eager to go for a stroll on the street, Xu Ran nodded, "Let's go slowly."

After the two of them left, Xu Ran returned to the counter and tapped the counter lightly with his fingers, an expectant expression on his face.

He wanted to see how the next guest performed.

And his waiting did not last long.

Perhaps it was because the pet beasts of Du Zhou and Zhang Peng were too eye-catching, and within a few minutes someone came here to ask, "Boss, did you take care of that very big thunder snake pet beast just now?"

"It's me." Xu Ran stood up and looked at the visitor.

It was a short-haired female beast master with soft eyebrows and a bit of sharpness. Behind her, followed a slender cherry-pink snake pet beast.

Compared with the blue-eyed thunder snake, which is nearly thirty meters long, the pet beast in front of him is much smaller, with a body length of no more than ten meters, and its body is obviously much slender.

Based on the questions she asked when she entered, Xu Ran had already guessed her purpose.

"You want to take care of your pet?"

"Yeah." The short-haired woman nodded, "What's the price?"

"The price tag is over there."

"Let me see..." Following Xu Ran's instructions, the short-haired woman quickly saw the price tag hanging on the wall on the other side, "66,666 yuan for a large pet beast?"

She frowned slightly, obviously feeling that it was a bit expensive, but thinking about how amazing she was when she saw the blue-eyed thunder snake, she was a little eager to try it.

"Hiss~"

The pet snake behind her hissed, as if to remind her master of something.

The short-haired woman quickly raised her head, followed the beast's gaze, and quickly saw the banner hanging high on the wall.

"Holy hand of sanitizer?" The short-haired woman's eyes were obviously a little more astonished.

If it is a holy hand sanitizer, such a price does not seem unacceptable.

Taking a deep breath, she finally made her decision.

"Please wash and take care of my Sakura."

"No problem." Xu Ran nodded with a smile and turned on the system identification at the same time.

This was the first time he had seen this cherry-pink snake.

I want to see what race they are.

[Racial name: Yingluo flower snake

Attribute: Super power system

Growth level: Commander level

Size: Large

Washing and care needs: ★★☆☆☆

Evaluation: Completely different from the stereotype of being cold and ferocious, this is a pet snake known for its cleverness, cuteness and good looks. We look forward to its host using its dexterous hands to develop its unknown side! 】

Development...what the hell.

The corner of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at the short-haired woman's pet.

Yingluo flower snake…

As described in the system appraisal, this pet snake is completely different from the blue-eyed thunder snake just now. Its slender body gives it a distinctive softness, and its cherry-pink scales make its appearance even better. steps.

Through perception, Xu Ran can feel that although the Yingluo Flower Snake is only a leader, it is also an existence of the king's race.

Just in time, you can use it to test the guess you just made.

"Please follow me." Xu Ran made a "please" gesture and then walked into the bathroom first.

"Sakura, let's go." The short-haired woman spoke softly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and followed closely with the garlanded flower snake.

When the door of the bathroom was closed again, the three little ones in the store looked at each other and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Cha~" (The same super power type as Twelve~)

Cancan held his head with one paw and spoke with interest.

"Meow~" (It's far worse than twelve.)

Ziyun shook his head with an indifferent expression.

When it sees the round Twelve, it will have the idea of ​​​​playing with it. When it sees this long guy, it has no interest at all.

Thinking of Twelve, Ziyun couldn't help but move her claws.

Counting the time, it has been more than half a month since I separated from Twelve.

But it always feels like they have been separated for a long time.

"Xi Lv~" (We will bring it back.)

As if seeing Ziyun's thoughts, Xingchen slowly opened his eyes and neighed.

"Meow~" (That's a must.)

Ziyun's claws arched slightly, the sharp claws popped out of the flesh pads, and his eyes became a little sharper.

Soon, soon.

Once it obtains the Extinction Thunder and meets other evolutionary conditions, it will immediately undergo its second evolution.

If it evolves successfully, it will definitely take back its own little pillow!

While the three little ones were communicating, a strange whinnying sound began to be faintly heard from the nursing room. When they heard the sound, the three little ones looked like they were watching a good show.

The power of the fourth-level contract allows the beast master and the pet beast to temporarily share their senses.

Therefore, even if they do not enter the washing room, they can watch the entire washing process through Xu Ran's eyes.

Seeing the slender and delicate Yingluo Flower Snake twisting uncontrollably in Xu Ran's hands, the expressions of the three little snakes became a little weird.

"Meow~" (Don't look at it.)

Ziyun raised his paw and gave Cancan a slap in the face.

Do you understand what is not suitable for young animals?

Cancan, who was slapped for no apparent reason, cut off the sharing with an aggrieved look.

See what's going on?

Cubs need to grow too!

Do you know how much of a psychological impact this slap has on a three-month-old, three-hundred-meter-long cub?

——

“Welcome to visit next time~”

Standing outside the store, Xu Ran smiled and bid farewell to the short-haired woman who left satisfied.

Behind her, the appearance of the Yingluo Flower Snake has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Each of its thin and translucent scales has been carefully polished and polished, shining with a bright and lustrous luster in the sun. The gradient of cherry pink seems bright and clear, as if petals have fallen on its body. .

It was originally very good-looking, but after walking around in Xu Ran's hands, it already had some magical power to charm all living beings.

Hmm... It just so happens that the super power type is good at illusion and charm type skills, so they complement each other.

"Boss Xu, your washing and care skills are really good." The short-haired woman was no longer doubtful. After some washing and care, she has become a loyal fan of Xu Ran, "I will recommend you to my friends." of the store!”

"Then I can't thank you enough." Xu Ran smiled and waved to the short-haired woman, and his already excellent mood suddenly became even better.

When the woman's figure disappeared from sight, Xu Ran glanced at the system panel.

There is a brand new skill on the system panel.

[★★★Confused Heart Brand] (not teachable)

This new skill comes from the Yingluo Flower Snake just now.

It can quietly plant a mark of control on the opponent, trigger it when needed, and briefly control the opponent's actions.

The control time is determined by the strength gap between the two parties. After it takes effect once, the brand will disappear automatically.

Even among the elusive super-power skills, this skill is considered quite rare and special.

The five three-star skills obtained previously were all broken down into skill fragments by Xu Ran, including the thunder skill obtained from Cangmu Razer, because it was not suitable for Ziyun.

However, this skill can be saved for Twelve to use later.

The reason why Xu Ran was in a good mood was not only because he had obtained a good new skill, but also because he had obtained a three-star skill again, which almost confirmed his guess.

Who said that only humans can have the attributes of koi?

Xu Ran stood in the store, casually walked over to the store, and then his expression fell.

Well...it's Shilian Wuzi again.

It seems that this speculation still needs to be verified.

"Is this the foster care shop of Mr. Xu Ran, the 'Saint Hand of Sanitation'?"

"That's right, it's right here." Hearing the voice of inquiry coming from outside the store, Xu Ran quickly turned around and instantly put on a warm smile.

"Welcome!"

——

"What? You said that the Spark Nursing Home is open?"

Du Qian had just finished the work of washing and caring for a very large pet beast. Before he could relieve his physical fatigue, Du Qian heard the news from his assistant who hurried over.

"That's right, Qi'an." The assistant's expression was a bit dignified and serious, "This is a very strong opponent. We underestimated the enemy at yesterday's skin care exhibition and let him win the title of 'Saint Hand of Cleansing'. "

"His foster care shop is now open for business, and it will inevitably develop in a short period of time with the help of the exposure of the title."

"And his store is located in Shuguang Building 1. We wanted to buy that building as a branch of Baihua Nursery Store, but the other party firmly disagreed. Now we actually have an advantage over that kid."

"In this way, this Xinghuo Nursing Home will threaten the business of our Baihua Nursing Home, otherwise we..." The assistant lowered his voice slightly, looked at Du Qian, and made a beheading motion.

"The store is in Shuguang Building 1, right?" After extracting the information he wanted from his assistant's long speech, Du Qian turned his head and looked at the appointment form posted outside the bathroom door, with a hint of regret on his face. .

As the chief carer at Baihua Nursing Home, he uses an appointment system for washing and care. He did not take orders for two consecutive days because he participated in the washing and care exhibition. Today's washing and care appointments are already full.

He wanted to go to Xinghuo Nursing Home to formally visit the carer named Xu Ran as soon as possible, but unfortunately he didn't have time today.

"The appointments for tomorrow are not full yet, please give me an hour." Without saying a word, Du Qian walked back to the washing room, preparing to wash the next pet beast.

"By the way." Before entering the nursing room, Du Qian suddenly thought of something. He paused and looked at his assistant, "Yesterday's announcement from the Beast Masters Association didn't seem to mention the location of the Spark Nursery, right?"

"It doesn't seem like..."

The assistant spoke subconsciously, and then saw Du Qian taking out his mobile phone and making a call.

"Hello, is this the association's citizen consultation hotline? I would like to remind the association that the notice of the washing and care exhibition you issued yesterday missed the relevant content of the foster care shop where the 'Saint Hands of Care' is located."

"OK, all right."

"Qi'an, what are you doing?" When Du Qian quickly hung up the phone, the assistant reacted suddenly, widened his eyes and shouted, "There is no announcement from the association. Isn't this a good thing?"

"If not, when Xinghuo Nursing Home becomes bigger and stronger, then we Baihua..."

Seeing Du Qian pointing a finger at him, the assistant's voice became lower and lower, and finally became quiet.

"You, read less novels in the future." Du Qian looked at his assistant who had been with him for a while and frowned slightly.

"Don't act like a novel villain all day long."

——

Time flies by in the busy business.

In the blink of an eye, the first day of operation of the Minghui City Spark Nursing Home came to an end.

Compared with the first-day business of the past three branches, the Minghui City branch had a great start, receiving more than a dozen customers on the first day.

Although they all came here for care and did not try other businesses, for Xu Ran, this was enough.

In addition, after a day of trying, Xu Ran also gradually improved his guess.

As he thought, this Shuguang Building No. 1 did have its own koi attributes.

However, this koi's attributes are only half.

Among the pet beasts being cared for today, as long as their race is the king race, only nine out of ten can obtain three-star skills through hair growth. This probability is far higher than the probability of B-level hair growth. It is the good luck blessing brought by Shuguang Building No. 1. .

But this good luck is limited to gaining skills by growing hair.

Xu Ran wants to use it to produce good things ten times in a row, but don't even think about it.

"Anyway, this is good news."

Sitting on the bed in the new store's living area at night, Xu Ran told the three little ones about his findings and said with a smile, "Acquiring more three-star skills means that the number of skill fragments will increase a lot next time resources are allocated."

"Maybe... maybe it can be directly exchanged for four-star skills." At this point, the smile on Xu Ran's face became a little wider.

Four-star skills can also be directly exchanged with fragments.

Of course, its demand for fragments is far beyond what one, two, or three-star skills can compare to.

A four-star skill requires 2,000 skill fragments, which is ten times that of a three-star skill.

In the resource allocation cycle of half a month, Xu Ran can only obtain more than a thousand skill fragments now, but in the future, the income from skill fragments will inevitably increase significantly.

The day to redeem four-star skills is not far away.

"Cha~" (Okay! I want to change!)

Cancan shouted excitedly, looking forward to the four-star skills that could be redeemed.

"Ahem, don't get excited." Seeing Cancan's eagerness to try, Xu Ran coughed awkwardly, "The king race cannot directly teach four-star skills, nor can they exchange them."

"Do you still remember the consequences of raising dragon power to three stars before evolving into a king race?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of fear instantly appeared in Cancan's eyes.

Longwei is not a natural skill, but a teaching skill, so the forced fusion and star promotion at that time had backlash, and the pain is still fresh in Cancan's memory.

"It's already so difficult to teach first and then upgrade to stars. It's simply impossible to directly teach skills that transcend racial boundaries." Xu Ran patted Cancan's head, "So, if you want to redeem four-star skills, you need to upgrade first For the imperial race.”

"Meow~" (Then I can collect more skill fragments and replace them later!)

Ziyun raised her paws excitedly.

Among the team, it is undoubtedly the one closest to the emperor race.

As long as you evolve into the emperor race, you can redeem new four-star skills to become stronger!

Evolutionary motivation +1!

Xingchen on the side did not speak, but there was also a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Can I redeem four-star skills...

I want to try it too!

"Speaking of which..." Xu Ran suddenly said as if he thought of something, "Over there in Luo Lei Valley, we need to find a way to observe it at any time when needed."

"The best thing is to be able to react immediately when abnormal signs appear and be prepared to fight for the extinction thunder."

"So..." Xu Ran looked at the three little ones, "Starting from tomorrow, we will go out of the city once a day to observe the situation in Thunder Valley and become familiar with the surrounding environment."

"When the store is well-known enough to summon three clerks, we will stay in the beast realm outside the city for a longer period of time, and may only return to the city for several days."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three little ones became serious at the same time.

Although they crossed the Beast Realm when they came from the Demonic Wood Realm, this does not mean that the Beast Realm is not dangerous.

This is Beast Domain No. 47.

There is no Beast King near Minghui City, but the number of tribes commanded by the Beast King cannot be counted on two hands!

Therefore, every time you go out of the city, you must be extremely vigilant and be careful and careful.

After saying this, Xu Ran sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and soon entered a deep state of meditation as usual. He used the double superposition of meditation accelerator cards to practice against the clock.

The three little ones looked at each other. In silence, relying on the tacit understanding that lasted for several months, they understood each other's meaning.

"Are you going to make a date? Let's go to training together."

"Come on, take me with you!"

——

While the three little ones were starting their own training in full swing, in a conference room within the Minghui City Beast Masters Association, discussions related to the Spark Nursing Home were going on.

"Xiao Li, if I remember correctly, you wrote the draft of the announcement last night." A young leader in charge of publicity in the association frowned and looked at a young woman in front of him, "Did I miss something? thing?"

"Is there something missing? No!" The clerk in charge of editing the manuscript pushed up his glasses, his face full of confusion.

“Today’s feedback from the citizen hotline was that a citizen reminded us that yesterday’s announcement of the washing and care exhibition omitted relevant information about the foster care shop where the ‘Saint Hands of Washing and Care’ is located.”

The young leader paused slightly, "I remember that every previous announcement of the 'Saint Hands of Sanitation' would also promote the foster care shop where the other party is located, informing everyone of the store and specific location of the foster care shop."

"Why not this time?"

"So it's this." The clerk suddenly realized, and then said confidently, "Because Mr. Xu Ran doesn't have a foster care shop!"

"Although he used 'Xinghuo Nursing Home' as the name of his nursing home at the laundry show, he actually did not work in any nursing home in Minghui City, and Xinghuo Nursing Home was not registered in our Minghui City. Pass."

"So when I wrote it, I didn't include the introduction of the other party's laundry shop."

"Then take a look at this." The young leader took out a piece of information and handed it to the clerk.

"This is..." The clerk took the information and briefly flipped through a few pages. Then he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"When I checked yesterday, I can confirm that there is absolutely no registration information or any store location information for Xinghuo Nursing Home!"

"Don't get excited yet." The little leader pressed his palm down to signal the clerk to calm down, "Look at the registration time."

"Um... registered last night?" The clerk glanced at the registration time in the corner and was stunned.

That time happened to be shortly after she sent out the manuscript.

"I don't mean to blame you." The little leader said slowly, "It is true that you are not responsible for this matter, but the things that have been missed need to be made up."

"Then I...make changes to the original manuscript?" the clerk said tentatively.

"I'm afraid it won't work." The young leader shook his head, "The number of views on that manuscript is already very high. Now that it has been revised, those who have read it will not read it again."

"What do you mean?" The clerk looked at the young leader.

"Write another supplementary announcement and send it out separately." The young leader knocked on the table, "Work hard and finish it tonight."

"Okay." The clerk nodded helplessly and quickly walked out of the conference room.

When the clerk walked out, all the majesty on the young leader's face disappeared. He quickly dialed a number, with a more respectful look on his face.

"Vice President Liu, it's me, Xiao Ding."

"Mr. Xu Ran, the person you told me to take special care of..."

——

Early the next morning, when Xu Ran woke up from deep meditation, he turned around and saw three little ones sleeping next to each other, each of them looking particularly tired.

After being stunned for a moment, his face couldn't help but look a little helpless.

"You three secretly went to train at night?" He casually touched the purple cloud closest to him and spoke softly.

Ziyun didn't respond, but his "snoring" voice became a little louder, while Xingchen and Cancan didn't respond at all.

"Then you go to bed first." Seeing the three little ones like this, Xu Ran was reluctant to wake them up. After hurriedly washing up and tidying up, he went to the store alone, preparing to start a new day of business.

"Cha~"

When Xu Ran's figure disappeared from the room, Cancan smacked his lips and made vague sounds in his sleep. Its paws subconsciously explored the direction where Xu Ran sat cross-legged while meditating.

After touching a ball of air, its eyelids moved slightly, as if it wanted to open them to see where Xu Ran had gone.

But in the end, exhaustion and sleepiness overcame everything. Cancan's eyelids did not open, the movement disappeared, and only the snoring sounded again.

On the other side, when Xu Ran arrived at the store and was about to start business, he was greeted with a big surprise as soon as he opened the store door.

There was a huge crowd outside the store, with people queuing up.

"Who are you?" Looking at the many familiar faces in the crowd, Xu Ran couldn't help but asked curiously.

Many of the people in the team were guests that had been received at previous skin care exhibitions.

In just two or three days, it shouldn't be time for their pet beast to be cared for again, right?

Why are they all here in droves today?

"Hey, Boss Xu, there's no news about opening a store. If it weren't for the association's announcement, we wouldn't have known about it." One of the familiar faces laughed and spoke loudly.

"Yes, yes, Boss Xu, you are too low-key."

"I passed by here yesterday, but I really didn't notice that Shuguang No. 1 Building actually had a new owner."

“…”

Listening to the exchanges between these guests, Xu Ran thoughtfully took out his mobile phone and opened the official website of the Beast Masters Association.

Soon, he understood what happened.

The night before yesterday, the Beast Masters Association issued an announcement informing all beast masters that the title of "Saint Hand of Cleansing" has a new ownership.

But such an announcement is not complete.

According to past practice, the name and specific address of the foster care shop where the "Saint Hands of Sanitation" is located will also be publicized.

At that time, Xu Ran did not have a foster care shop, so this part of the story was ignored.

Under normal circumstances, this matter would probably end there.

But by chance, Xu Ran had his own foster care shop that night, and it officially opened for business the next day.

After some internal discussions within the association, it was finally decided last night to issue an additional notice explaining the matter on the basis of the original notice.

This time, it was amazing.

A single notice brought more attention to the location of Xinghuo Nursing Store, especially since it was located in Shuguang No. 1 Building, which was even more surprising.

Therefore, early this morning, those old customers who had experienced Xu Ran’s care at the care exhibition before and more new customers who came here because of the four words “Saint Hands of Care” appeared at the door of the foster care shop.

Only then did the store become a bustling place after opening it.

"I see." Xu Ran nodded clearly, touched his chin, and looked far away in the direction of the Minghui City Beast Masters Association.

"Then I really have to thank the association."
