That night, outside the door of the Xinghuo foster care store, which had closed for business, there was a figure that was two meters tall, as strong as a little giant, but the hands, feet and head were very different from humans, and there were two cat ears all over the body.

"Meow~"

Here, is this the shop that washes and cares for the little gray ash...

The big cat calmly looked at the closed door of the Xinghuo boarding shop, and the once warm scenes came to his mind.

Its eyes flashed with nostalgia and remembrance, but these quickly dissipated and reverted to calmness and majesty.

It's all gone, and now it's just the leader of the stray pet beasts, the leader of the right guidance for these homeless guys.

Recalling some of the details mentioned in the process of Little Gray Gray's explanation, the big cat's face was a little more helpless.

The man who used to teach it that words must be done and deeds must be fruitful.

said that you want to arrange washing and care for everyone, so you have to arrange it.

But the washing and care here is a bit expensive!

The big cat touched his waist, there was a small worn-out waist bag, with this small waist bag, it seemed to be a little more human.

In this, the savings contained in it are the money that human society can use.

Although the process of obtaining it was not very above board, at least it did not hurt any innocent people.

In the past, big cats would use the money to buy food for some otherworldly creatures, and the process of buying was to take it secretly and then give it secretly.

And the food it bought was distributed by it to the hungry wandering pet beasts.

This kind of distribution is not to give them all at once, so that they can eat and drink enough, but to give them in moderation, and then guide them to get close to humans to get food, and not to hate humans in human cities.

Thanks to its efforts, everyone has gradually gotten rid of the situation where they can only rely on it to provide food and continue their lives without looting, and they are able to be self-sufficient.

You don't have to buy food, and you have more and more savings.

And now, the big cat suddenly feels that his savings are a little less.

It folded its claws and counted the number of its companions, its expression becoming more and more sorrowful.

"Meow~"

I don't know if this store can be discounted...

After standing under the street lamp for a while, the big cat quietly disappeared in place.

——

"Morning!"

Xu Ran casually pinched the little paw pad that Ziyun put on his face, and sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes.

Glancing at the sky, he began to wash and dress.

"Meow~" (I'll go see the stars first!) ）

Ziyun, who woke Xu Ran up, saw that he was about to take off his clothes, so he ran away.

Moments later, everyone gathered in the foster care area on the basement level.

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, eat it slowly!"

Xu Ran took a bite of the noodles he had ordered, knocked on the edge of the bowl, and asked the pet beasts who were eager to stuff their faces into the food bowl to pay attention to their eating appearance.

"Whew-"

"Frost Dust Wolf, don't howl, go back to the snow mound after eating, and howl as you like!"

"Don't protect the fire dumplings, no one here drinks kerosene except you!"

After shouting, Xu Ran satisfied and began to count the residents in foster care.

"Twenty-seven... Twenty-eight... Twenty-nine! ”

His smile grew brighter as his eyes fell on the new tenant who had moved in yesterday afternoon.

Foster residents are about to break through the 30 mark.

You have to rely on them for your daily physique!

"Pudding rabbits, don't be afraid, whoever of them bullies you..." came to the new residents, and before Xu Ran finished speaking, he saw the pudding rabbit fly up and kick over the food basin of the golden-veined ant next to him.

"Don't bully other residents, hey!!"

A meal of chickens and dogs jumped, and finally ended with Ziyun, who had finished eating, elegantly wiping his mouth and opening up the king's momentum slightly.

Seeing that the residents ate honestly, Xu Ran packed up the food bowl and sent the two pet beasts to the training area to start a new day of training, and then Shi Shiran returned to the first floor and opened the door of the store.

The opening of the day at the Spark Foster Care Shop begins with the first customer standing outside the door early and waiting for them to enter.

"Boss, please wash and take care of my pet beast!"

"No problem." Xu Ran smiled and stretched out an arm to lead the other party towards the storefront.

"Huh?" Just as he was about to enter the store with the customer, he suddenly realized that he turned his head to look out of the store.

In the early morning, a few passers-by happened to walk by on the street, and everything was as usual.

“… Probably my delusion. Xu Ran shook his head slightly, and soon began to wash and care for the guests' pet animals.

In a hidden corner of the street, a cat's head slowly poked out, and a pair of eyes looked deep in the direction of the Xinghuo boarding store.

The perception is quite keen, is that the owner of this shop?

Unexpectedly, he was actually a beast master.

The cat's head slowly retracted, leaving only one eye to look through the gap in the bunker in the direction of the Starfire boarding store.

Secretly observing .jpg -

"Welcome to the next time~"

Waving his hand to see off today's sixth cleaning guest, Xu Ran shook his hands that were a little sore, with a satisfied smile on his face, and after returning to the counter, he held his head and looked out of the door in a daze.

Today's store, on average, can receive six or seven customers for the cleaning business every day, as a service with the most pleasure value, now the daily cleaning and care alone, can bring him more than 10,000 pleasure value.

It's foster care...

With the number of pet animals staying in the store approaching 30, there have been fewer and fewer new customers coming to foster care recently.

Qingzhou City is so big, the number of beast masters here is not comparable to a larger city, there are only a few beast masters who have foster care needs, and other foster care stores have long been saturated.

The good thing is that the reputation of the Spark foster care store has been getting better and better recently, and many other foster care stores have not continued to renew their foster care periods, but have sent them to the Spark foster care store, bringing many residents to the foster care store.

However, it is impossible for other foster care stores to sit still and wait, and they have successively launched preferential measures such as discounts and foster care to better retain some of the customers who are swaying left and right.

I wonder if today's foster residents can break through the 30 mark...

"Boss Xu, I'll foster you!"

"It's coming!" Xu Ran stood up from behind the counter for the first time and greeted him happily.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Moreover, they are still acquaintances.

Looking at Zhang Yun and behind him, with a little expectation in his reluctance, following closely and constantly looking at the stone armor dragon at the back door of the Xinghuo foster care store, Xu Ran had a stronger smile on his face.

"Brother Zhang, are you busy with work again?"

"yes." Zhang Yun nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "I've been busier than before, but fortunately, I don't need to go out for too long this time, only three days." ”

Zhang Yun's voice paused slightly and looked at Xu Ran.

"For the past three days, please."

"You can rest assured." Xu Ran nodded.

"I'm naturally relieved to send it to you." Zhang Yun laughed, and then seemed to think of something, and his voice changed, "Can I take a look at the activity area assigned by the stone armor dragon?" ”

At this moment, he remembered the last time he brought his nephew here, he saw the amazing space expansion technology.

Now the foster care space in the Xinghuo foster care store is much larger than before, so will the activity area allocated to its own stone armor dragon be larger than before?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's eyes suddenly had a little more expectation.

"Absolutely." Xu Ran pushed open the back door, "You come with me." ”

A moment later, the two of them stood in the foster care area on the basement floor.

"This area belongs to the scarlettle." Using the control center, Xu Ran quickly carved out a living area belonging to the stone armor dragon in the foster care area.

It is no longer a small hill made of pebbles, what appears in front of Zhang Yun and Shi Jialong is a hilly terrain made of pebbles and undulating.

In terms of floor space, it is five times more than before.

You must know that the last time Zhang Yun came, there were only three residents in the foster care area.

"Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?" After the design was completed, Xu Ran turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yun.

"No, that's already good." Zhang Yun shook his head without hesitation, "Boss Xu, your foster care area has changed so much, do you really need to increase the price?" ”

"No, it's still at the original price." Xu Ran shook his head slightly.

The system has no intention of raising prices, nor has it increased the cost of automatic deduction, and he naturally has no interest in raising prices.

And not very short of money, what if the guest is persuaded to leave?

"Boss Xu, you are really the most conscientious businessman I have ever met." Zhang Yun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "The forum said that you are a profiteer, but that is really wronging you." ”

"Yes, it's all falsehood." Xu Ran sighed, and the eyes that looked at Zhang Yun suddenly became friendly.

Just say this to you, I will open a small stove for Shijialong!

"Alright, then I'll go." Zhang Yun nodded, leaned down and patted the stone armor dragon's head, "Wait until I come back to pick you up!" ”

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and transferred the three-day foster care fee to Xu Ran and left.

Xu Ran wanted to send it away, but took a step forward, but suddenly stopped.

A line of text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Foster care residents have reached the upper limit]

Yes?

Yes??

Just because the foster residents reached 30 and felt that they had completed another milestone, they decided to make persistent efforts, and Xu Ran, who had 40 residents as soon as possible, collapsed.

No... Thirty is the upper limit?

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the foster care space that was about half available under his plan.

With such a large space, it is more than enough for fifty or sixty residents, right?

"You're obviously unreasonable!" Xu Ran couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "In such a big place, there is an upper limit for living in thirty?" ”

As if sensing Xu Ran's complaint, the line of text that appeared in front of him paused for a moment, and then quickly changed to another line of text.

[The host has limited energy, and fostering more pet animals will make the energy too scattered, and the foster pet animals in the store will not be able to get the best care and care. 】

"Limited energy..."The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly.

He always felt that this scene was familiar.

I have had a similar situation when I washed and cared for it before.

It is not to reach the upper limit, but to remind that it is not possible to repeat the washing in a short period of time.

The situation is different at the moment, but it's all pretty much the same.

"So, if I increase my energy, can the upper limit of pet animals in the store be increased?" Xu Ran speculated.

When the strength is strong, the energy will naturally be strong.

The system did not respond to Xu Ran's speculation, so Xu Ran stood in place and continued to guess.

In addition to increasing strength, there is another way in which the foster care ceiling may be increased, and that is through system upgrades.

With the last upgrade bringing such a large space for foster care, Xu Ran has reason to believe that the next system upgrade will also greatly improve the service.

However, the current Xu Ran main quest 1 has not been completed, and the system upgrade is far away.

In addition to these two ways, the third, and most feasible one, is to hire a store clerk.

A person's energy is limited, Xu Ran runs the Xinghuo foster care shop alone, and he personally carries out the washing, foster care and sparring, which is very strange.

If there were new employees in the store, Xu Ran would naturally have more energy to take care of more foster residents.

However, the problem is that the Spark Foster Care Store is not an ordinary foster care store, and it is impossible to hire normal store staff here.

It is impossible for a normal clerk to bring him pleasure points and the benefits obtained from various system skills, and all that can be obtained is the money obtained from the business.

What did he want the money for?

So...

"Is this the meaning of the existence of the system clerk?"

Thinking of the task reward of the main quest 1, Xu Ran felt a little more enlightened in his heart.

Since there is no more detailed introduction and explanation of the task reward, he can only complete this task as soon as possible and see what the system clerk is.

But...

This day won't be long either.

Xu Ran subconsciously glanced at the personal panel.

【Hair (B Grade)】(49/500)

【Drugging (Grade C)】(351/500)

【Survival (Grade C)】(56/500)

The completion condition of the main quest 1 is that all three system skills have reached level B, and now Xu Ran's hair is already level B, which is equivalent to completing one-third.

The progress of the drug is also very fast, and now every day after 0:00, when it comes to the experience settlement time, it can bring him more than 20 points of experience.

With the stone armor dragon moving in, the foster residents reach the upper limit, and then they can gain 30 experience points per day, and they will soon be able to break through the B level.

As for the whole life...

Xu Ran obtained this skill at the latest, so in order to keep up with the progress of the other two skills and break through the B level as soon as possible, Xu Ran has been promoting new business to the customers in the store in the past period of operation.

Anyone who plucks up the courage to try it once will be shocked by the amazing training efficiency of the sparring service of the Spark Foster Care Shop, and since then he has become a regular customer in the store, regularly visiting the door for sparring, so the experience has improved quickly.

"Huh?"

"Meow?"

Xingchen and Ziyun's slightly puzzled voices made Xu Ran come back to his senses from his thoughts.

"You've both finished training?" Looking at the two pet beasts that were slightly tired, but their eyes were shining, Xu Ran smiled.

"Meow?" (Did the resources arrive?) ）

Ziyun asked expectantly.

"Not yet." Xu Ran shook his head, "Calculate the time, it should be fast, you two go upstairs with me and wait?" ”

The two pet beasts glanced at each other, and followed behind Xu Ran in unison.

The resources that were redeemed for so many points yesterday, they can't wait to use them!
