Chapter 96: The First Time of the Stars
"It's good to be satisfied, welcome to visit next time."
Xu Ran nodded, opened his personal panel and saw the 1 point of whole life experience and 10 skill points received in the account, and his smile became more and more intense.
He casually opened the panel of Ziyun, and was a little surprised when he looked at the proficiency of Thunder Shaking Tianyin.
【★★★ Thunder Strike (Starlight Level)】(113/500)【+】
Calculating the time, three hours have passed since Ziyun started training.
In three hours, that is, once with the physical strength potion training, but the proficiency of this skill has increased by 21 points, which is a lot more than the previous training.
In addition to this, the improvement of several other skills is also not low.
It seems that after the training method was adjusted, the efficiency became higher and the training environment became better.
Nodding slightly, Xu Ran added all the 10 skill points he had just arrived to Thunder Tianyin, and then told it with contract induction.
"Meow?"
In the thunder training area, Ziyun, who was resting on the highest part of the small hill, suddenly raised his head.
Just now, it had completed three hours of training, and the effect of the stamina potion had disappeared, making it feel a wave of exhaustion.
So Ziyun decided to take an hour off before continuing training.
However, not long after lying down, Ziyun's mind suddenly had more pictures of himself performing Thunder Shaking Sound in different situations, and each picture seemed to be a personal experience.
Ziyun had already experienced this feeling once, and it realized for the first time that it was the Beast Master who had added points to it again.
And immediately afterwards, the voice transmitted through the contract induction also confirmed Ziyun's guess.
The Beastmaster has added some more to himself!
Ziyun, who had originally planned to rest for an hour, slowly straightened up.
At this moment, it felt the power that the Beast Master had passed on to him!
Even if it doesn't have a physical booster, it has to train hard to repay this strength!
Rest? No way!
Ziyun was ashamed of what he had just thought, and did not hesitate to plunge into the fiery training again.
"Wow!"
In the dark training area, the pace of the stars running wildly gradually slowed down.
It felt that the medicine that had given it its constant power had lost its effect.
Have three hours passed?
Xingchen looked up at the stars in the sky.
There is no star in the starry sky here.
But now, in the long night, it's its own star!
"Wow!"
With a roar, the stars disappeared into the night.
Without the help of the Stamina Elixir, it also has the Tenacity skill.
Keep training in order to get stronger! ——
"It's almost time."
After receiving three more guests, Xu Ran habitually glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the store.
Calculating the time, nearly six hours have passed since the two pet beasts started training, and it is time to pick them up.
"Boss, the washing effect of your house is really good, I will come again next time!" The guests who had just finished washing and caring were satisfied with their refreshed fire hamsters and greeted Xu Ran before leaving.
It was a girl, and it was the second time she had come to wash and nurse.
"Okay, but the interval between next washes can be a little longer, your pet is very clean, and you don't need to wash and care frequently." Xu Ran casually proposed, which made the fire hamster, who was originally waving his paws in the girl's arms and preparing to say goodbye to Xu Ran, instantly blacken.
Damn it! Why don't you let me wash a few more times!
In the girl's chuckle, one person and one pet disappeared into the store.
Xu Ran stretched, closed the door to end the day's business, and then walked through the underground passage at the back door to the foster care area on the basement floor.
"Tempest, don't look at me like that, it's not time to eat yet."
"Golden-veined ant, did you eat the meal I gave you all at once?"
"The last time the steel rhino was summoned was healed, then I will be relieved."
"Frost Wolf is still adapting here, right? I'll prepare you dinner for tonight. ”
Greeting the foster residents all the way, Xu Ran quickly walked to the elevator in the training area.
Go to the dark area first.
As soon as he walked into the quiet night, Xu Ran felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and the stars that performed the nocturnal song completely blended into the night, and the eye-catching white spot on his forehead was still there.
"Wow!"
Xingchen rushed to Xu Ran's body excitedly, slowing down and naturally relieving the state of nocturnal song, the dark and shiny short hair around his body shone slightly under the starlight, and a pair of amethyst-like eyes were full of intimacy.
"Good work." Touching a hand of sweat stains on the back of Xingchen's shoulder, Xu Ran opened Xingchen's panel for the first time to check its progress after a training session.
[Contract Pet Beast: Star
Race Name: Night Pony
Attribute: Dark
Growth Tier: Transcendent (254/500) [+]
Race Hierarchy: Dominating the race
Skill:
【★★ Twilight Watch (Stardust Level)(36/100)【+】
[★★ Starlink (Star Chip)] (32/100) [+]
【★★ Night Eyes (Star Chip)】(41/100)【+】
【★★ Nocturnal Song (Star Chip)】(40/100)【+】
【★★ Night Presence (Star Chip)】(21/100)【+】
[★ Toughness (Star Chip)] (52/100) [+]]
After six hours of high-intensity training, the skill proficiency has increased so much, especially the toughness, it can be seen that Xingchen has indeed trained very hard just now.
Xu Ran's face had a little more relieved smile, "I'll prepare some delicious food for you later, and then take you to wash and take care of it." ”
Washing?
Xingchen's eyes were a little more expectant.
It really wanted to know what kind of magic its own beast master's washing and protection had, which could make that frost and dust wolf show such a posture, and also make Ziyun so respectful.
"Now let's go pick up Ziyun first and see how its training goes." Xu Ran turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the stars behind him followed suit.
After a while, one person and one pet came to the training area belonging to the thunder system, and happened to see Ziyun raising his head to the sky and letting out a "meow", setting off a spectacular scene of a hundred meters of thunder sea.
Xingchen, who saw Ziyun shooting with all his strength for the first time, widened his eyes, realized the difference in strength between himself and his eldest sister, and looked at Ziyun who was jumping quickly, and the look of worship in his eyes became even more.
It's so strong!
Can you become so strong in the future?
"Well done." Xu Ran stroked Ziyun's head and checked Ziyun's situation as usual, with a look of surprise on his face.
The growth of Starlight level skill proficiency will be slower than that of Star Chip level, but Ziyun's improvement is not weak at all.
[Contract Pet Beast: Purple Cloud
Race Name: Electric Cat
Attribute: Thunder
Growth Tier: Elite (5831/20000) [+]
Race Hierarchy: Dominating the race
Skill:
【★★★ Thunder Strike (Starlight Level)】(130/500)【+】

[★★ Battle Instinct (Starlight)] (64/500)【+】
[★ Self-Healing Power (Starlight Level)] (60/500)[+]
Bloodrage ★ (Starlight) (77/500) +]
In addition to Thunder Shaking Tianyin, he got an additional 10 skill points, and the other skills increased by an average of 30 proficiency points, which was the result of Ziyun's own efforts.
Did the contract stars have some influence on Ziyun, or did the addition give Ziyun a new incentive?
Xu Ran couldn't guess for a while, but this was always a good thing.
Now, it's time for him, the beastmaster, to come into play.
"You both work so hard, I'm going to have to make you something delicious."
Add food, must add food! ——
"Huh, huh?" (The food cooked by the beastmaster has been... Is it so delicious? )
Looking at the empty food bowl in front of him, and then at the foster residents who were surrounded by a rather powerful breath, but buried themselves in cooking, Xingchen couldn't help but approach Ziyun and asked in a low voice.
"Meow~" (yes!) Super delicious! )
Ziyun, who had just finished eating, was in a very good mood, and leaned out his soft paw pad and patted Xingchen's head, looking like a senior who "you won't be surprised if you stay for a while".
"You eat slowly, I'll clean up later, be careful not to fight!" Xu Ran emphasized to a few restless guys in the household, and then looked at Xingchen and Ziyun, "Let's go back to the first floor first." ”
Do you want to wash and take care of it?
Xingchen's eyes were full of longing and expectation, and he followed behind Xu Ran step by step, and Ziyun, who was also following, had a bit of a good look on his face.
It wondered if the stars would make strange noises later.
One person and two pets quickly returned to the store on the first floor, Xingchen followed Xu Ran directly into the washing room, and Ziyun subconsciously jumped on the counter, ready to see the store.
It wasn't until the door of the washing room closed that Ziyun realized that the door of the store was closed.
"Meow~" (It seems that you don't need to see the store.) )
Shaking his head slightly, Ziyun's gaze turned to the direction of the washing room.
According to the previous rules, the stars should not make strange noises so quickly.
That's right! Let's go check out that guy first!
Suddenly thinking of something, Ziyun deftly jumped down from the counter, then raised his tail high, went straight to the stairs on the second floor, and slowly went upstairs.
After a while, it quietly squatted in front of the beast egg at the head of Xu Ran's bed, staring at the slightly shimmering earthy yellow lines on the surface of the beast egg, stunned.
When it chose this beast egg with Xu Ran, it thought that it would soon be able to welcome the arrival of this new partner.
Stretching out a paw and sticking it to the eggshell, Ziyun whispered a "meow".
Although you can only be the third child after you come out, Xingchen and I will wait for you, you have to hatch quickly!
It seems to feel the breath of purple clouds, and the flickering frequency of the earthy yellow lines on the eggshell has changed slightly, and a faint kind of intimate emotion is revealed from the eggshell.
After spending a moment with the beast egg, Ziyun flashed back to the first floor, listening to the pleasant hissing sound coming from the washing room, with an unexpected expression on his face.
Hmph~ Sure enough, no pet beast can hold it under the care of its own beast master!
——
"Brush—"
In the washing room, Xu Ran had already completed the initial wetting, rinsing off a large amount of sweat stains from Xingchen's training, and at this moment he was holding a brush with fine and soft bristles in his hand, and was washing Xingchen with a gentle technique.
The tip of the bristles passed through the gaps in the fine short hairs on the surface of Xingchen's body, gently cutting around each of Xingchen's hair follicles, and a strange itching sensation transmitted from the depths of the hair follicles to Xingchen's body, making its vigorous body tremble slightly.
"Sigh Rule~"
Xingchen's voice trembled a little, and at this moment it felt that its body became extremely light, as if it was running in the wilderness with a nocturnal song.
It understood why the Frostdust Wolf made such a sound when it was being washed and cared for by its own beast master before, and why the eldest sister would say "Wait for Xu Ran to wash and care for you once, and you will know" when it asked what it was like to wash and care for you.
It's a feeling that I can't put into words... Wonderful!
Scrubbing, trimming, care, blow drying...
The steps were carried out in an orderly manner, and the stars who finally walked out of the washing room were already two horses compared to before.
The black mane that faded to purple was fluffy and soft on the back of the neck, each one shimmering in the light with a mysterious luster like night, and the ponytail of the same hue swayed slightly with the movement behind its hips, supple and shiny.
On the sturdy body of the stars, the fine short hairs are extremely smooth, reflecting the luster of the muscular lines in the light, and the four purple hooves have been trimmed by Xu Ran, and the surface is smooth like a jewel, showing a hard texture.
Its amethyst-like eyes also became brighter with washing, and the white star marks in the middle of the eyes were a little higher in the middle of the eyes, and the white star marks were extremely clear and agile on the dark fur.
"Wow!" (I know what it's like to wash and care!) )
Seeing Ziyun lazily lying on the counter, Xingchen excitedly raised his four hooves and stepped forward, pouring out his new feelings about the washing and care he had just had.
"Meow~" (I know, I know, I've washed and cared for it many times~)
Ziyun waved his claws, signaling that Xingchen had experienced it at this moment, and it had already experienced it many times.
"Not necessarily." Xu Ran, who was on the side, heard the exchange between the two pet beasts, and smiled dumbly, "My washing and care techniques have improved, and now the effect of washing and care is better than before." ”
"So if you wash it now, the effect will be better than before."
"Meow?" (Really?!) )
Hearing this, Ziyun became energetic.
Its lazy appearance disappeared in an instant, jumped directly from the counter, and pulled Xu Ran's trouser leg in the direction of the washing room.
Wash and care!
"Okay." Xu Ran shook his head helplessly.
The last time Ziyun washed and cared was before the finals of the challenge, and it was actually a few days since now, but he has experienced a lot and gone out a few times, and now he can indeed wash it.
Just take it as a consolation to this little guy who has been training for six hours today.
Half an hour later, a long, fluttering sound came from the washing room.
"Meow~~~"
"Huh?"
Xingchen outside the bathroom tilted his head.
Why does the eldest sister's voice sound stranger than herself?
——
"Alright, you two can have fun."
After washing and protecting Ziyun and cleaning up the food bowls on the basement floor, Xu Ran stretched his waist and turned to go upstairs, "I'll go upstairs to meditate and practice first." ”
If it was before, he would have brought Ziyun upstairs together, but now that he has Xingchen, it is better to let the two little ones move on their own.
The Meditation Acceleration Card still has almost twenty days to go, and although he has now broken through the power of the second-order contract, it is not a bad thing to seize the time to meditate more.
Who doesn't want to break through to the third order as soon as possible?
