Chapter 78: Picking Eggs!
"Ziyun, you're doing great!"
Holding Ziyun, whose breath looked quite sluggish, and holding its injured paw to take a look, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
In the final encounter, Ziyun's injuries were not serious, but he was only injured and injured under the backlash of blood rage, which made him look slightly miserable.
Although his breath was sluggish, Ziyun's eyes were bright.
Defeating the rival Darkscale Dragon that it has always wanted to defeat is an unparalleled inspiration for it.
"Meow!" (I won!) )
It seemed to come to its senses and shouted.
"yes, we won." Xu Ran smiled.
Amid the tsunami cheers and applause, the referee announced the final result of the battle.
"Xu Ran, win!"
"Congratulations to Xu Ran for winning the championship of this new beast master challenge!" The host appeared on the stage at the next moment, holding the microphone and walking quickly to Xu Ran's side, "Do you have anything you want to tell everyone?" Except for ads. ”
The complaint from the host made countless viewers laugh.
Xu Ran casually opened the system task and glanced at it.
[Starter Quest 5: Be famous.]
Description: Ask the host to make the foster care store 50% known in the local area (48.7/50)
Reward: Training function module, system upgrade experience +400]
Before the war, he remembers that popularity was 43.3 percent, and in just one battle, popularity jumped 5.4 percent.
Xu Ran took the microphone with a smile.
What will this new Beastmaster Challenge champion say?
The audience fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at him expectantly.
"Everyone's strength is very strong, and it's not easy to win along the way." Xu Ran's voice paused, "If it weren't for me and my pet beast always maintaining our best condition to meet the enemy, it is still unknown whether we can win." ”
Xu Ran really doesn't advertise anymore?
There was a whisper of discussion in the audience, and many viewers showed a lost expression of "Ye Qingjie".
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xu Ran's voice changed.
"Want to be in the same good shape as my pet?" He smiled slightly, "Then come to the Spark Foster Care Shop, here... Beep-"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp voice suddenly came from the microphone.
Broken microphone? Xu Ran shook it curiously, and the host on the side smiled and took the microphone away from him without a trace, "Okay, thank you Xu Ran for your wonderful speech!" ”
In the audience, the audience, who had shown disappointed expressions before, had excited expressions, and there was a feeling of "Ye Qinghui".
After blinking, Xu Ran realized that the organizer deliberately did not let him continue to advertise, not that the microphone was out of order.
Abominable target!
He couldn't help muttering a few words indignantly, looking at the barely rising popularity, looking helpless.
It seems that the effect of advertising is not very good in the short term.
The rest of the little popularity, let it grow slowly.
——
"There are quite a lot of rewards for champions."
Holding Ziyun, who had been restored to its original state, left the competition venue, Xu Ran played with the three cards in his hand.
These three cards are the champion rewards.
It seems simple, but the value is not simple at all.
One of them is a bank card with a million cash, and this is only the lowest value of the three.
The other card is the Beastmaster Guild's point card, which contains 1,000 Beastmaster points, which can be used to exchange for various supernatural resources.
Beastmaster points are a special type of points that can be used in different city beastmaster associations, which can be exchanged for pet beasts, resources, and various other things.
If converted into money, one point is equivalent to about 1,000 yuan, but very few people are willing to exchange points for money, so it is even more precious.
Xu Ran didn't plan to use this card for the time being, after all, for the time being, he didn't need to buy additional resources.
All kinds of resources needed for washing and foster care on weekdays are provided by the system, and the system will automatically deduct the cost from the income obtained.
So the only place he needs resources is probably some cultivation process of his pet beast in the future, such as evolution, which is said to require a lot of specific resources.
At this moment, Ziyun has not yet reached the time of evolution, so this card is kept just in case.
As for the last one...
It is an Egg Extraction Card that allows you to choose one of the Rare Beast Egg Vaults of the Beastmaster Guild.
The race that can be called a rare beast egg will naturally not be an ordinary breed.
It alone has attracted countless beast masters to sign up for the competition.
Although Xu Ran still has an Awakening Stone that he has not used, this beast egg extraction card is also of great value to him.
"It's still early, why don't we go to the store and go to the Beast Master Association to pick up the beast eggs?" Taking the three cards back into his pocket, Xu Ran smiled.
"Meow~"
Ziyun nodded, there was no choice.
Speaking of which, after the egg hatches, it is its new partner, right? I don't know if this new partner is good or not?
"Don't worry, even if it hatches, I have to get along well with other partners, and I will consider contracting to become a pet beast." As if he had guessed Ziyun's thoughts, Xu Ran comforted softly.
"Meow~"
Ziyun's mood suddenly improved, and he squinted his eyes and rubbed his head against Xu Ran's palm.
The two gossiped all the way, and soon came to the Beast Master Association.
Before he could enter, the beast master who had entered and exited the entrance of the association gave him a salute.
Today's Xu Ran is no longer a nobody.
It can be seen from the popularity of the mission that nearly half of the people in the entire Qingzhou City know about the Xinghuo foster care store.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the Beast Master Association, many Beast Masters greeted him with a smile.
"Boss Xu, come and get the beast eggs, right?"
"Boss Xu, your pet beast is so powerful, what kind of breed is it? I also want to sign one. ”
"Boss Xu, I'll go to your store in two days, will I give you a discount?"
“…”
After responding one by one, Xu Ran went straight to the rare beast egg storehouse.
The Rare Beast Egg Vault is located in the basement of the Beast Master Association, with a thick alloy door tightly blocking the Beast Egg Vault, and outside is an old man who looks quite extraordinary, with a hideous scar on his face.
"Senior, I'll take an egg." Facing the old man, Xu Ran didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully handed over the beast egg extraction card.
"The winner of today's little doll competition?" The old man took the card and glanced at it, got up and walked to the access control next to him.
After a complicated unlocking process, the thick alloy door slowly opened, revealing a rather spectacular scene inside.
The one-meter-high alloy pedestals are arranged in a tight and orderly manner, and each pedestal is fixed with an egg with a different pattern.
The eggs are encased in sturdy tempered glass, and the top of the tempered glass cover appears to have a nameplate with text on it.
As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds.
"This is the first floor of the egg storehouse, you can choose one here." The old man didn't look at Xu Ran, and turned back to his place.
Listen to this, there are two or more layers?
Xu Ran muttered in his heart, and then quickly approached one of the beast eggs.
It was an egg with purple veins on its surface, which were a bit messy and looked similar to the texture of a feather.
The nameplate on the glass cover has a brief description of the egg.
"The thunder pet beast Heavenly Thunder Eagle, the king of the sky, greets the powerful pet beast race of the heavenly thunder with its wings."
"Sounds a bit awesome." Xu Ran muttered, and turned to the next beast egg without hesitation.
Thunder pet beasts are not considered, it is enough to have purple clouds.
Choose pets with other attributes to be able to use the skills obtained by scavenging more efficiently.
"The water-based pet beast Xuanbo Fish, the mysterious wave casting skills make it have a completely different attack method from other water-based pet beasts."
Aren't fish born from fish eggs, but also from animal eggs?
"The fire pet beast Cangyan Dog, in addition to the high temperature of the fire system, the different-colored flame also has an unusual burning effect."
Oviparous fish are just eggs, and viviparous dogs also have animal eggs?
“…”
Xu Ran looked over one by one, and his expression gradually became strange.
On the one hand, he was amazed at the variety of these beast egg races, and on the other hand... These eggs are all very good-looking.
Except for the thunder system, he doesn't choose the other beast eggs, he loves one when he sees them!
It's a bit difficult to do now, after all, you can only take one with you.
Looking at the hundreds of pedestals in front of him, Xu Ran knew that he had to change his approach.
The introductions on these nameplates look very powerful, but they are quite general, and it is a bit hasty to make a choice based on this alone.
So...
Xu Ran took out a pair of ordinary-looking glasses and put them on his face.
Blessed to his heart, he thought of the blue item drawn in the previous lottery, the Insight Mirror.
According to the system, within five minutes of wearing the item, "some imperceptible messages can be obtained".
He always felt that this description was very much in line with the current situation.
Sure enough, everything changed when the insight mirror was put on.
The alloy pedestal was gone, the sturdy glass cover was gone, and only the beast eggs were suspended in front of Xu Ran's eyes.
And these beast eggs have also undergone slight changes from what they saw with the naked eye before.
On their shells, different colors of light appeared!
Xu Ran's gaze fell on the Heavenly Thunder Eagle Beast Egg he had seen first.
A purple glow emerges from the eggshell.
Then on the eggs of the Xuanbo Fish Beast, the brilliance is blue, and the brilliance on the eggs of the Cangyan Dog Beast is red.
So, these bright colors correspond to the attributes of the beast egg?
Xu Ran continued to check and soon found another characteristic of Guanghua.
The brilliance, brightness and intensity of the rising light from different eggs varies!
Among the rows of beast eggs he has seen so far, the brightest one is a water-based pet beast called "Bishui King Snake".
Its nameplate description reads: "In its heyday, the blue water king snake is 100 meters long, and the water beasts surrender wherever it passes, and those who do not submit are devoured." ”
Sounds like it's a little more powerful than other beast eggs.
According to this law, could it be that the brightness of the beast's egg corresponds to the strength of the pet beast?
Xu Ran's eyes lit up.
He seems to have found the right way to use the Insight Mirror.
In that case, let's take a good look at which one of these beast eggs is the brightest!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran walked in step by step.
With the help of the Insight Mirror, it's much faster to see.
Purple brilliance is not.
The brightness of the brilliance is lower than the blue water king beast egg just now, and if you encounter a brighter one in the future, then use the brighter one as the benchmark.
According to this screening law, Xu Ran quickly stood in front of a beast egg.
The light of this beast egg was the brightest of all the beast eggs in the audience, and it was almost mapped to the other beast eggs around it, and the color was the earthy yellow corresponding to the earth system.
Is it soil...
In terms of attributes, it does not conflict with Ziyun.
The earth system generally has strong defense, and there are many larger ones, and some of them are good at healing, which are all good attributes.
Then it's sure to be it!
The five-minute aging of the insight mirror ended at this moment, the alloy base and the glass cover became visible again, and Xu Ran also took the opportunity to see the content of the nameplate on the glass cover.
His expression of anticipation froze slightly.
"The beast egg of an unknown race, obtained by sweeping outside Qingzhou City, has been determined that its energy intensity is not low, and the racial potential is high."
An unknown egg?
Xu Ran looked around in disbelief.
Except for this one, the other beast eggs are all of clear races.
Co-authorship is mysterious about your origins, right?
Such a protagonist template, I want it!
Without saying a word, Xu Ran pointed to the egg, turned his head and spoke to the old man outside, "Senior, I choose this one!" ”
"Oh?" The old man glanced in, a look of interest appeared on his face, "You want to choose this?" ”
"This is the only egg of unknown race on the first floor of the beast egg storehouse, originally according to its energy strength, it could be placed on the second floor, because I don't know the origin, so it was downgraded to the first floor." The old man walked in with a smile, "Good eyesight." ”
"But...," he paused, opened the glass cover and took out the egg, handing it to Xu Ran, "According to the association's judgment, this egg may have a long incubation period, and you need some patience." ”
"How long?" Xu Ran put Ziyun on the ground and took the heavy beast egg with both hands.
"A conservative estimate... A year for it! ”
"Huh?" Xu Ran's expression became strange.
Does it take a year to hatch?
"Of course, if you use some special resources or something to speed up the incubation, you can speed up the process." The old man added.
"Okay." Xu Ran nodded, "Then I'll leave first." ”
On the bright side, maybe the system has an item reward for accelerated hatching?
"Walk slowly." The old man smiled, watched Xu Ran leave, and then closed the alloy door again, "What an interesting boy." ”
——
"I need to hatch eggs for a year..."
On the first floor of the Xinghuo foster care store, Xu Ran and Ziyun stared wide-eyed, and in the middle of one person and one pet was this fifty centimeter-tall beast egg.
There is a faint transcendent energy escaping from the beast egg, proving its activity, and there are earthy yellow lines on the surface of the eggshell, which are like cracks in the earth, which is quite peculiar.
Underneath the egg, there is a rather haphazard block of earth, artificially pinched into the shape of a base, supporting the egg's uprightness.
It seems to be ordinary, but in the dirt block, there are strong fluctuations in earth-based energy.
This is the soil resource muddy earth marrow, a resource that is very suitable for accelerating the hatching of soil beast eggs, Xu Ran, who originally did not plan to use the points of the beast master, after passing by the resource exchange area with the beast eggs, he still couldn't help but exchange 50 points.
"Next, let it absorb on its own." Knowing that even with the help of resources, the hatching of beast eggs could not be completed overnight, Xu Ran carefully moved it to the position of the bedside table on the second floor, and then sat down cross-legged.
"So now... It's time to break through the second order! ”
