At the end of the semi-finals, regardless of whether they advance or lose, the players leave separately.

Xu Ran hugged Ziyun and walked to his storefront.

But he's not alone.

Beside him, there was also Hu Zhong, who was smiling eagerly.

"You're going to go to my foster care store right now to nurse the large-mouthed ape?" Knowing the other party's intentions, Xu Ran's expression was a little surprised.

"Not bad!" Hu Zhong patted his chest, "You can see from Brother Xu's righteousness that your foster care shop is definitely not bad!" I have to take care of the business. ”

The real situation has nothing to do with Xu Ran's foster care store itself.

Mainly with the help of Xu Ran, he got a good ranking like seventh place, and Hu Zhong felt that he deserved something back.

I heard that Xu Ran's foster care shop has a lot more expensive services than the outside world, so going there to wash and care can be regarded as giving Xu Ran money, right?

"You have a good eye." Xu Ran didn't doubt that he had him, and gave Hu Zhong an approving look, "After washing, you will feel that it is worth the money." ”

"I believe in your skills!"

Hu Zhong laughed and quickly extinguished the lit phone screen.

He had already found out the price of Xu Ran's foster care shop from the Beastmaster Forum.

The large-mouthed ape is a medium-sized pet animal, and it costs 26,666 yuan to wash and care for it once.

As for what Xu Ran said was worth the money, he didn't believe a word.

But it's not a big problem, this washing and care for him has to go.

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the Xinghuo foster care store.

followed Xu Ran into the store, looking at the price list on the wall, even though he already knew the price, the corners of Hu Zhong's mouth couldn't help twitching.

The price is so high, no wonder Xu Ran has to work so hard to advertise.

But with such a persuasive price, I'm afraid the effect of advertising will not be too good? Why not consider price reductions?

He complained silently in his heart, but he didn't show his face on the surface, and he didn't hesitate to scan the code to pay, "Brother Xu, my big-mouthed ape will be handed over to you!" ”

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded slightly, and then looked at the large-mouthed ape on the side.

[Race name: Large-mouthed ape.]

Attribute: Earth

Growth Level: Transcendental

Body type: Medium

Washing and care needs: ★★★ ☆☆

Comments: A large horse monkey that is fairly clean on the surface, but in the depths of its hair and skin, it urgently needs the host's comfort with both hands, let it see the power of washing! 】

The system is getting more and more second.

Xu Ran complained in his heart, and patted the big horse monkey... Ah no, the shoulders of the large-mouthed ape, "Come with me." ”

"Roar!"

The large-mouthed ape nodded expectantly.

Although its beast master brought it with a repaying mentality, the large-mouthed ape did feel a sudden itch on its body lately, and washing and care might be able to solve this problem.

"There is a rest room over there, and you can also choose to accompany the pet beast to wash and care together." Xu Ran pointed in the direction of the lounge.

"Then I'll wait in the break room." Hu Zhong spoke without hesitation.

"Okay." Xu Ran walked into the bathroom with the large-mouthed ape and closed the door.

"Meow~" (Look at the store, look at the store!) ）

Ziyun jumped lightly onto the counter and faced the door of the store in a peasant's posture.

Suddenly thinking of something, it turned its head to look at Hu Zhong who was sitting on the sofa in the lounge.

Well... Didn't wear headphones, which was fine.

Ziyun was already looking forward to what would happen next.

——

[In order to improve the effect of this washing, the system will give the host the relevant knowledge of "Ape Pet Cleaning and Care Basics"]

As a large amount of washing and care knowledge related to the large-mouthed ape poured into his mind, Xu Ran skillfully picked up the shower head, waited until the water in the shower head reached the right temperature, and then aimed at the large-mouthed ape lying on the washing table honestly.

"Wow~"

With a slight sound of water, the large-mouthed ape knotted slightly, and the dusty fur on it quickly became wet and fit its muscular form.

The originally sturdy large-mouthed ape also looked thinner because of this.

As the water washes away, it is not only the ends of the hair that are wet, but also the roots of the hair, and the warm feeling continues to seep through the roots of the large-mouthed ape.

"Roar~"

A pleasant expression appeared on the face of the large-mouthed ape, and its body writhed involuntarily.

[Pleasure from Large-Mouthed Ape +5]

It's not bad, the pleasure value is not low.

Xu Ran glanced at the large-mouthed ape that wriggled its body, and after fully wetting its fur, he took out tweezers with a tip like a hook from the toolbox next to him.

The large-mouthed ape is a pet animal that is prone to grow a small insect on its body, which hides in the hair follicles of the large-mouthed ape and thrives after absorbing the extraordinary power of the earth-based system that the large-mouthed ape escapes.

When it grows up, the hair follicles of the large-mouthed ape are completely blocked, and even a small bulge is formed under the skin, and the large-mouthed ape will feel itching in the body from time to time.

In addition to a small amount of earth-based resources that make the large-mouthed ape feel comfortable, the shower water that wet the body of the large-mouthed ape just now is also added with drugs that can make the little worm fall into a coma.

At the moment, the drug is already in effect.

A hand groped on the body of the large-mouthed ape, Xu Ran quickly looked at it slightly, he picked up the hair of the large-mouthed ape's body, and soon saw a slightly bulging small bag.

It was a pore that was hiding a parasite, and on the surface, only a tiny red tip of the bulge could be seen.

Got it!

Xu Ran took out the tweezers, carefully pierced the tip into the red dot in the center of the bulge, and then clamped it hard and slowly pulled it out.

The red part is pulled out of the bulge little by little as it is dragged, and you can faintly see the fluff on it that makes people frown.

Xu Ran loosened the tweezers, then leaned forward, pinched more red parts, and then continued to exert force.

Slowly, a finger-length parasite was completely ripped out of the previous bulging position and thrown into the insecticide liquid prepared by Xu Ran.

The position of the original bulge was no longer bulging, but was slightly dented due to the sudden hollowness, Xu Ran sprayed a potion to speed up the recovery, and then turned to the position of the next parasite.

Almost at the same time that Xu Ran completely pulled out the parasite, the large-mouthed ape, which was originally lying comfortably on the washing table, suddenly widened his eyes.

An unprecedented lightness and exhilaration.

It has just been pulled out of the position of the parasite, and at this moment, it continues to transmit a cool and refreshing feeling to its perception, as if it has been itching for a long time and suddenly being scratched by someone.

While it was still savoring the sensation, the same refreshment came from another part of the body.

"Roar~~~"

The large-mouthed ape let out a low roar, its eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

It's so comfortable!

[Pleasure from Large-Mouthed Ape +20]

[Pleasure from Large-Mouthed Ape +20]

【From...】

Glancing at the excited large-mouthed ape, Xu Ran smiled slightly.

This big guy has a lot of parasites on his body, and he still has to earn pleasure points!

——

"This voice..."

Listening to the strange sounds of the big-mouthed ape in the bathroom from time to time, Hu Zhong, who was still happily watching the drama, became a little unsettled.

He sat up straight and looked in disbelief at the closed bathroom.

After a while, as similar sounds kept coming, Hu Zhong couldn't help but stand up, he walked to the front of the washing room, and paced back and forth listening to the clearer and clearer voice.

Are your pet beasts okay?

Isn't it just a shower? Why is there such a movement?

Do you want to just push the door in and have a look?

But isn't that right? What if Xu Ran gets angry?

Thoughts crossed his mind, and his expression became more and more tangled as he paced.

Ziyun, who had been paying attention to Hu Zhong's movements since the sound came from the washing room, had a satisfied look in his eyes.

That's the right performance!

Minutes passed, and soon the door to the bathroom opened.

Hu Zhong, who had been waiting for a hundred claws, looked at it for the first time, and then a sluggish expression appeared on his face.

This... This is their own large-mouthed ape?!

Looking at the pet beast in front of him, whose body seemed to be strong, with slender hair that was soft and shiny, and even his eyes became more divine, Hu Zhong opened his mouth, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

If the original large-mouthed ape's scruffy and knotted hair looked like it was wearing a beggar's outfit, now it looks like it is wearing an ironed haute couture.

This washing...

Awesome!

Hu Zhong, who didn't have much expectations, had a sense of surprise at the moment.

He couldn't help but think of what Xu Ran had said before, after washing, he would feel that it was worth the money.

Yes, he really has a sense of value for money right now.

Although more than 20,000 yuan is expensive, it is too popular to take such a pet beast for a ride on the street, right?

"What do you think?" Seeing Hu Zhong with such an expression, Xu Ran smiled unexpectedly.

"I'm so satisfied!" Hu Zhong spoke without hesitation.

He circled around the large-mouthed ape, his expression becoming more and more excited, "Then I'll take it away first?" ”

He couldn't help but take the big-mouthed ape out shopping.

"Walk slowly."

Looking at the back of Hu Zhong and the big-mouthed ape leaving, Xu Ran smiled and opened his personal panel.

In the washing just now, the hair has taken effect.

Although the large-mouthed ape is an earth-based one, and the skills it gets are probably useless skills, it's better to take a look.

System Upgrade XP: 300/1000】

Well?!

Xu Ran's eyes searched the pet beast skill column, and his gaze was fixed on the newly acquired skill.

Two-star skill war roar, teachable?

The big-mouthed ape actually has a two-star skill with no attributes?

This discovery made Xu Ran instantly excited.

"Ziyun, it's shipped!"

"Meow?"

Ziyun blinked, and instantly jumped up after realizing the meaning of Xu Ran's words.

Got a new skill?!

Because the large-mouthed ape is not a thunder pet animal, it didn't expect to gain anything at all.

At this moment, there was a feeling of surprise.

"Let's try." Xu Ran easily taught Ziyun the War Roar, and then checked this skill and Ziyun's other skills.

This has become his habit, every time he acquires a new skill, he tries to fuse it with Ziyun's original skill to see what the probability is.

Xu Ran's first choice was the same attributeless two-star skill combat instinct.

Both skills have the word "war", and I hope to be able to give it a little more power.

[★★ War Roar] + [Battle ★★ Instinct]

【Fusion success rate: 0.9%】

[Do you want to fuse?] 】

[Yes] [No]

Well... He shouldn't have expectations.

Choose several other skills one after another, and the success rate is very low.

Xu Ran was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still checked the last skill.

Electric spark.

[★★ War Roar] + [★★ EDM]

[Fusion success rate: 10.1%]

[Do you want to fuse?] 】

[Yes] [No]

Xu Ran rubbed his eyes and sat up straight suddenly.

With these two two-star skills, the initial fusion success rate has reached more than 10%?

What is this concept?

You must know that the arc and thunderbolt that were fused before, the initial fusion success rate was only about five percent.

The success of two-star skill fusion is already more difficult than one-star, and the success rate of such a fusion can be called against the sky.

"Melt me!" Without thinking about the principle, Xu Ran clicked [Yes] without hesitation.

[Fusion Failure]

Success rate jumped from 10.1% to 23.3%

So much improvement?

Xu Ran was in ecstasy.

The previous electric chase was successfully fused with a probability of 23.4%.

So you only need two skill fusion stones this time to be able to complete the fusion?

He did not hesitate to repeat it again.

But then, Xu Ran's face collapsed slightly.

[Fusion failure] is so clear in four big words.

After two failures, the success rate also increased to 31.1%

Looks like this time it's a bit wrong...

Again!

Looking at the last remaining skill fusion stone, Xu Ran didn't hesitate too much time before making a decision.

With the familiar fusion effects flickering in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but clench his fists and breathe rapidly.

【Successful Integration】

Looking at the golden word prompt, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

It worked!

He wanted to see what kind of new skills he had gained from this skill fusion that made him so nervous!

Thunder... Xu Ran glanced at the gradually drowsy sky, and immediately decided, "That's all for today's business, let's go to the training ground next to it!" ”

"I haven't trained for a while, so we trained for three hours tonight."

"Meow~" (Okay!) ）

Ziyun jumped lightly into Xu Ran's arms with an expectant look on his face.

It felt the memory of the skill in its mind change, exactly the same as the last time it mastered the telegraph.

At this moment, it has mastered a brand new skill called "Thunder Roar"!

This skill is stronger than the previous EDM.

At this moment, Ziyun thought of the powerful white wolf with an incomparably large body and a cold aura all over his body.

Three days later, you will have to fight against it, and this new skill may be the key to victory or defeat!

In addition to this, hard training is also necessary.

"Meow!" (Training, training!) ）

Ziyun is full of energy.

After the victory, you can advertise again!
