Chapter 146: Cancan's Arithmetic Lesson
"It seems that the cat boss and his beastmaster really have a deep relationship."
Walking out of the alleyway, Xu Ran couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
Because he opened a foster care store, he can be regarded as having seen a lot of pet beasts of all kinds, and there are different stories between these pet beasts and his own beast master.
But like the cat boss, this is the first time he has seen it.
Seeing the majestic cat boss hiding his face and crying like a child, Xu Ran's heart was also uncomfortable.
This is another reason why he chose to leave silently.
It is said that time can heal everything, but Xu Ran believes that even if it is a long time past, the impression of the cat boss's beast master in its heart will not be erased.
Perhaps, this is the bond between the beast master and the pet beast?
Xu Ran had a smile on his face, and as he walked back to the foster care store, he began to think about the three little ones waiting for him in the foster care store.
I don't know, what are they doing at the moment? ββ
"Meow~" (Two-four-eight!) οΌ
In the foster care store, Ziyun didn't know where to turn out the ninety-nine multiplication table that he and Xingchen had learned at the beginning, and patted it on the table with his paws at this moment.
"Cha!" (I remember!) Two-four, eight-out! οΌ
Cancan nodded with a serious expression, and repeated Ziyun's mantra in a milky voice.
"Sigh~" (That's right!) οΌ
Xingchen lifted one of his hooves and tapped at the bright scales, a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Come on and learn to do the math! Cancan little brother!
After the calculations are clear, you can pay back the money next time you allocate resources!
Seeing Cancan's smug face, as if to say, "This is too simple", a trace of cunning light flashed in Ziyun's eyes.
"Meow?" (What is 1000-7?) οΌ
"Cha~Cha?!" (This is not simple~ what?!) οΌ
Cancan's smug expression quickly disappeared, and he stretched out a paw to wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.
Count, it's terrible!
"Sigh~" (Come on!) οΌ
Xingchen gave Cancan an encouraging look.
Memorizing the 99 multiplication table is just the beginning!
"Meow!" (Then back!) οΌ
When Xu Ran returned to the foster care store, he saw such a picture.
"You areβ" The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly, and the expression of emotion on his face disappeared, "Are you learning arithmetic?" β
"Meow~" (Exactly.) οΌ
Ziyun nodded seriously.
All this has to start after Xu Ran left.
Originally, the three little ones were quietly waiting for Xu Ran to come back in the storefront, and suddenly Cancan looked at the price card on the wall and sighed.
"Cha~" (What a long string of numbers, how much is that?) οΌ
Realizing that Cancan, who was about to participate in the next resource allocation, had not learned arithmetic as a basic skill that must be learned in the team, Ziyun and Xingchen instantly turned into math teachers and started the teaching mode.
So, there is the current situation.
As Ziyun and Xingchen finished explaining, Xu Ran's expression became laughing and crying.
But it's true that Cancan should learn to count, otherwise he will suffer a lot when the next resource allocation is made.
"In that case, you two should come on." Xu Ran's voice paused, "Oh yes, don't forget today's training..."
Before he finished speaking, the three little ones had already rushed to the back door.
It's a new day, a new eight hours of training, and every second counts!
Looking at their energetic appearance, Xu Ran smiled dumbly.
In this case, you have to work hard.
The power of the contract has broken through to the third order, and the next goal is to break through the fourth order.
However, this step is not that easy.
It took Xu Ran about ten days to break through from the first order to the second order, and it took forty days for the second order to break through to the third order.
But then break through from the third order to the fourth level, and the difficulty will rise by another level.
When the Beast Master breaks through to the Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Order, there will be bottlenecks.
If it is said that from the first order to the third order, as long as a person with the qualification of a beast master can reach it sooner or later, patient meditation can be achieved, then being able to break through the fourth order depends not only on patience, but also on talent.
Some beast masters will not be able to break through to the fourth order in their lifetime.
Even if you can break through the fourth order, the sixth and eighth orders behind you are still two daunting thresholds.
This is similar to the fact that pet beasts need to evolve to increase the growth ceiling.
Therefore, Xu Ran, who had just broken through the third order, wanted to break through the fourth order, even with the blessing of the meditation acceleration card, it was not possible to do it in a short time.
"The meditation acceleration card is not powerful enough!"
Xu Ran couldn't help but mutter, "When you draw red items in the future, will there be something like a meditation acceleration enhancement card?" High and low a thousand-fold meditation acceleration! β
After complaining, Xu Ran stretched and opened the door of the store.
Soon, the new day of operation of the Spark Foster Care Store officially began.
Since you can't break through the fourth order quickly, let's try to earn some resources for the three babies in the family first.

"How can it be!"
In the Beast Master Association, Gu Wu slapped a letter on the table in the conference room with a slightly ugly face.
Paper letters are rare in this day and age.
Limited by wild and extraordinary creatures, it is difficult to build signal base stations outside of human cities, but in human cities, science and technology still retain a relatively complete heritage.
The signal base station can be used, and it is completely possible to communicate through messages.
But paper letters are important in this day and age.
It often means that the message comes from another city that is almost completely cut off from information.
At this moment, the letter on the table in the conference room is from another city, and it is the second-level important town that was contacted a while ago, Cloud City.
However, the content of it made Gu Wu quite angry.
"These guys are stupid." He has always been good-tempered, and he rarely got angry, pointing to the letter and scolding, "Change the exchange to the younger generation? β
"I'm better than you!"
"The resources of the second-level towns are not comparable to the third-level towns at all, and the young beast masters there can access the resources of the higher levels, which are much stronger than the beast masters of the third-level towns, this is a competition? This is clearly abusing vegetables! β
"Obviously, everyone took this opportunity to discuss how to form an alliance to deal with wild transcendent creatures, and I watched the end of the discussion, and this alliance didn't need to be discussed!" Gu Wu snorted, "I don't believe that such a decision was made by President Fang. β
In front of Gu Wu, there was an old man with gray hair, his figure was tall and muscular, like an iron tower, even if he sat in the position, he gave people a strong sense of oppression.
After patiently listening to Gu Wu's complaints, the old man slowly spoke in a gentle voice that did not match his figure.
"Actually... I didn't think it was surprising that President Fang of Cloud City had made such a decision. β
"President He, don't sell it." Gu Wu shook his head helplessly.
"You, although you have strength, your experience is still shallow." President Ho smiled and spoke, not at all angered by the contents of the letter.
He is the city lord of Qingzhou City, the president of the Qingzhou City Beast Master Association, before Gu Wu came, the only general-level beast master in Qingzhou City, what year.
"To form an alliance, there must be an alliance leader, and the right to speak cannot be dispersed." He Nian spread his hands, "Do you think that President Fang will give the right to speak to others?" β
"Of course not." Gu Wu shook his head, "But as the only second-level important town in this exchange activity, he is only one step away from being able to reach the emperor-level beast master, isn't it natural for him to have the right to speak?" β
"That's a good thing, but..."He Nian's voice paused, "It's easy to overwhelm people with force, but if you want other cities to obey his orders, you must always show your strength in other aspects." β
"The young beast master is a strong man in the future." He Nian smiled, "From the comparison of their strength at the moment, it shows that the second-level towns are stronger than the third-level towns. β
"If I were that President Fang, I would do the same."
"You're open-minded." Gu Wu rolled his eyes, "But the young beast master we sent over is going to suffer a lot of blows. β
Having spent some time in Cloud Capture City, he knew too well how perverted the young beast master there was.
And this time, among the beast masters, there are also their own daughters.
Can he not be angry?
"Take it easy." He Nian smiled, "I think at this moment, the city that received the news not only wants to test the strength of Cloud Picking City in the competition, but also wants to try the strength of other third-level towns. β
"Third-level towns, there are also strong and weak, our Qingzhou City only has a general-level beast master, there is no king-level beast master, and it belongs to a weak third-level town."
"Wouldn't it be profitable if you relied on fighting to defeat some more powerful third-level towns and have more say in the future alliance?"
"I heard you say a while ago that young man named Xu Ran has successfully evolved?" He Nian smiled, "I don't believe it, other cities also have this." β
"Look, isn't that our advantage!"
"Hey, you don't know." Looking at the optimistic He Nian, Gu Wu sighed slightly, "Outside of Cloud Picking City, there is a rather peculiar resource point. β
"There is a special resource called the Heavenly Spirit Stone, which can speed up the meditation of the Beast Master to a certain extent."
"The upper age limit of the Beast Master of this exchange restriction is twenty-five years old, if you awaken at the age of fifteen, with the acceleration effect of the Heavenly Spirit Stone, there is a high probability of reaching the third order of the power of the contract." Gu Wu's voice accentuated slightly.
"Therefore, the one who made a move this time in Cloud Picking City must be a commander-level beast master."
"Other cities don't have this condition, how can they compare?"
"Xu Ran does have a pet beast that has successfully evolved, but the gap in the early growth level is not something that evolution can make up."
"And there are many beast masters in Cloud Capture City who can successfully evolve..."
"Look, you're starting to compare yourself to those guys in Cloud City again." He Nian was not hit by Gu Wu's words, he spread his hands with a smile, "The pattern is open, don't treat the beast master of Cloud Picking City as an opponent..."
"We're trying to torture the beastmasters of other cities."
"Instead of consuming yourself, it is better to involute others."
"Okay." Gu Wu nodded, reluctantly accepting He Nian's proposal.
He knocked on the envelope on the table, "The event is a little ahead of schedule, and if you count the time spent on the road, we may have to leave in a week." β
"Outside the city, no problem, right?" Gu Wu's voice paused slightly, "I heard that there has been some unrest outside the city recently, and there seems to be abnormal movements. β
"Minor problem." He Nian's eyes flashed slightly, "There is a beast king who has disappeared near Qingzhou City. β
Gu Wu: "... You call this a small problem?! β
"It's okay, it's okay." He Nian smiled, "There are only six beast kings in the No. 97 Beast Domain, and President Zhao of Changshi City is staring at it, don't think about moving." β
"At most, it will arrange for some subordinates to come down to find their own babies, and Qingzhou City may be more peaceful because of this."
"It's a pity~" He Nian stretched, "I don't know what the beastmaster's baby looks like, if I can trick him into making a contract with our people..."
Gu Wu got up silently, "I'll go and inform the young beast master on the departure list." β
This old man is not repaired, and he has no door to speak, and he is terrified when he hears it.
Also contract the cub of the Beastmaster.
The Beast King was furious, and the entire Qingzhou City had to be bulldozed.
"I'm still young, and I'm so timid." When Gu Wu left the conference room, He Nian, who was sitting alone in the conference room, smiled, raised his hand and touched the hideous scar on his face.
It seems that something interesting has come to mind, and He Nian has a stronger smile.
"That kid is kind of funny, he hatched the eggs so quickly."
ββ
"Are you going to leave in seven days?"
Looking at Gu Wu standing in front of him, a look of surprise appeared on Xu Ran's face.
"Hmm." Gu Wu nodded slightly, "It will take a day to travel, and after getting there, the activity will take about three to four days." β
"You have a lot of customers in your store, as well as foster pet animals, so it's best to prepare in advance."
"Thank you, Senior Gu, for the reminder." Xu Ran nodded seriously.
If it was before, he would still be worried about what to do with the pet animals in the store after being away for so long.
Now, with Tony here, he doesn't have to worry about it.
The store is closed for the past few days, just let Tony feed the foster pet animals.
"And..."Gu Wu glanced at Xu Ran, hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "Actually, there have been some changes in the form of this exchange activity..."
He briefly mentioned the matter of changing the exchange to a competition, "In short, you may need to face a commander-level beast master, and it is possible that the pet beast has also completed its evolution. β
"If you don't want to go, it's too late."
He was still quite optimistic about the junior in front of him, if Xu Ran was hit by the beast master of Cloud Picking City after he went, it might affect his future development.
"Is there such a change..."
Xu Ran touched his chin, and his expression became equally serious.
After exchanging the last resource in Cloud Capture City, Xingchen will be able to evolve and break through the Commander Rank.
Cancan... Forget it, don't mention it.
In this way, he is probably even worse than the beast master in Cloud Picking City.
It's a big city, and there are such strong opponents, so...
"Is there any reward for winning the Beast Master of Cloud City in the competition?"
"Yes! Win a game and choose any resource for the rank of general. Gu Wu replied casually, then was slightly stunned, and looked at Xu Ran, "You are..."
"Actually..."Xu Ran smiled shyly, "I was two days ago..."
"The power of the contract happened to break through the third order."
Gu Wu: "... Yes? β
