"Check the resources first~"

After getting the alloy box containing all the resources from the strong man in charge of distribution, Xu Ran took the three small ones, Shi Shiran came to the hotel room, opened the alloy box and counted them.

With a single glance, the star saw the one-horned dragon of the Night Demon that had made it think about it day and night.

"Sigh!" (This is it!) ）

The voice of the stars is full of excitement, all the preparations for the evolution are over, and it is time for the final evolution!

It has already felt that it has not deliberately improved during this time, but it is still getting stronger and stronger, and the power hidden in its body.

If it drags on for a while, it may really not be able to suppress the progression.

Without further ado!

"Let me see..."Xu Ran picked up the unicorn about a meter long with both hands and carefully touched it with his hands.

The touch of the unicorn is not the same as he imagined.

He originally thought that the dragon's horns should be hard, even covered with layers of cuticles, which were extremely rough.

But Night Demon's unicorn is quite smooth to the touch and feels good in the hand.

Of course, more importantly, there is a majestic dark power in it.

"It's obviously not for food." Xu Ran glanced at it and handed it to Xingchen, "I'll hang it on your body when you go back and use it to complete your evolution." ”

"Sigh!" (Good!) ）

Xingchen excitedly grabbed the horn, feeling the slightly intimate power in it, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

"According to the ritual of evolution, you have to run wild in pure darkness, and you will sublimate to the extreme before exhausting the last shred of energy, and finally complete your evolution."

Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "Actually, I still don't know what pure darkness is. ”

"But it certainly won't be daytime, so we'll try tonight."

"Sigh!" (Uh-huh!) ）

Xingchen nodded heavily.

Immediately afterward, Xu Ran began to count the other resources in the alloy box.

Among them, it includes all the evolutionary materials of Cancan Evolution.

Although he was burdened with a heavy debt of up to three thousand, he saw that his evolution materials had been gathered and he had taken a solid step towards evolution, and a look of joy appeared on Cancan's face.

It's worth it! It's all worth it!

And Ziyun also harvested two fighting resources.

One is the resonance bone bead that was exchanged for the remaining beastmaster points before, and the other is the resource that was won back just now.

It was a resource that looked like a claw bone.

Xu Ran compared it in the exchange list, and finally determined that this resource is called the Shattered Claw Bone, which can effectively increase the power of the claw attack, and at the same time, there is a certain probability that the owner will feel the three-star skill Tearing the Sky Shatter in the process of absorption.

This resource is worth 2400 points in the redemption list.

This is the first time Xu Ran has come into contact with a resource that can have a probability perception skill, although it has a limited increase in strength, but whether it is him or Ziyun, they feel that it is very cost-effective.

If you can really perceive a three-star skill, it is equivalent to saving 2000 value points, and the increase in claw skills can also be used to destroy the thunder claw.

Although he refuted the face of Chuyun City, You Shengjiang still gave himself such a good resource.

Thinking about it this way, the people in Cloud Picking City are quite good.

"It's not evening yet, let's go out for a walk." Looking at the time, Xu Ran spread his hands, "We can only start to evolve at night, maybe we can go out now, familiarize ourselves with the surrounding environment, and buy the store by the way?" ”

He hadn't forgotten the events of main quest 2.

Buying the storefront in Cloud Picking City is half the task.

After operating for such a long time, although Xu Ran didn't calculate the accounts carefully, the money in the account was already several million, and it shouldn't be a problem to buy a storefront.

The system doesn't stipulate the size anyway.

Regarding Xu Ran's proposal, the three little ones naturally had no opinion.

Put away the alloy box, and one person and three pets walked out of the hotel happily.

The first step in shopping is to have lunch! ——

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

The knuckles struck the solid wood tabletop, and there was a crisp and somewhat dull sound.

After a while, the percussion stopped, and the owner of the hand raised his hand and looked at the gray-faced young man in front of him.

"So... You lost to a beast master from a third-level town? ”

If Xu Ran was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this young man was Ye Haoming, who was defeated in his hands today.

"Listen to me." Ye Haoming's face was a little helpless, "That guy only has one pet beast that has broken through the Commander Rank, but that pet beast has not only evolved into a king race, but the skills he is currently using are all full moon level..."

He glanced at the young man in front of him, "And that pet beast's strength is very strong, it doesn't look like it's just advanced." ”

"In my opinion, it must be Qingzhou City, in order to be in the limelight in the exchange, took great pains to help him cultivate such a pet beast in advance, and waited until the power of the contract broke through the third-order contract." Ye Haoming hated to speak.

"Anyway, if you lose, you still beg to come to me, hoping that I will give you a head tomorrow." The young man said calmly, "You know, when Vice President You came to me before, I refused to participate, because I don't like to abuse vegetables. ”

"So..."Ye Haoming seemed to think of some rumors about the young man in front of him, and looked at him with a little tentativeness.

"Gotta add money!" The young man spoke quietly.

“… Good! Ye Haoming gritted his teeth, "There are some differences between tomorrow's form of communication and today, you go to gamble with him, I will give you the resources used in the fight, and after winning, the two will all belong to you, and I will give you another general-level resource." ”

"Vice President You also spoke, if he defeats Xu Ran tomorrow, he will also reward one in his personal name, which is equivalent to four general-level resources!"

After saying this, Ye Haoming's heart ached.

Anyway, he was the one who lost to Xu Ran and made the Cloud City Beast Master Association lose face because of this, so he needed to take some responsibility for this matter.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't be willing to cut his flesh like this.

"I said... Are you getting something wrong? The young man shook his head and crossed Erlang's legs, "I'll settle the score for you." ”

"Gambling fight, Xu Ran also has to take out a general-level resource, I won him, the resources belong to me, this is what I won with my strength, is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Ye Haoming nodded.

"Vice President You personally rewarded one piece, that is his reward, I won it after winning Xu Ran, and I also won it with my strength, right?"

“… No problem. ”

Ye Haoming nodded again, but this time his movements were a little slower.

He had a vague sense that something was wrong.

"You provide a resource for gambling, no matter who you invite, you can get this resource, that is, it is not specifically for me, right?"

"No... Wait..."

Ye Haoming frowned, feeling that there was something wrong here.

Without waiting for Ye Haoming to understand, the young man stroked his palm and smiled, "Look, so if you ask me to help, I will give a general-level resource." ”

"Not enough, add more."

"That's... One more piece? Ye Haoming subconsciously followed the young man's intentions.

"Okay, that's it." The young man bared his big white teeth and showed a bright smile, "Tomorrow, I promise to help you take it!" ”

"My Qin Can's credibility is guaranteed." The young man stood up, stepped forward and patted Ye Haoming on the shoulder, pushing him out, "It's better to go." ”

"Huh!" Ye Haoming finally figured out what the conversation problem was just now, and turned his head to continue arguing, but found that the door was closed, and there was a sign hanging on the door, saying "Do not disturb".

Ye Haoming: "..."

It's over, and I was fooled by Qin's fool.

——

"Hello, according to your needs, we finally selected the store here for you, I don't know what you think?"

In a rough storefront that had not yet been renovated, the real estate agent showed a polite smile and looked at Xu Ran.

"Not bad."

Xu Ran looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

This store is a little bigger than the Spark foster store in Qingzhou City.

Of course, it refers to the superficial larger.

The layout of the two is similar, and the storefront is also divided into two floors, and the upper floor can be converted into a living area.

As for the location, this store is located within the scope of the third ring road of the urban area of Chuyun City, not the city center, but it is also more prosperous than the original store site in Qingzhou City.

The point is, the price is not expensive either.

"Three ,700,000 in full, right?" Xu Ran looked at the intermediary, "I make a one-time payment, can you help me solve the miscellaneous procedures in the back?" ”

"That has to be!" The intermediary was in awe, "This gentleman, follow me to pay a payment, and the store will be yours." ”

"Arrangement!" Xu Ran snapped his fingers and completed the payment with the intermediary.

An hour later, the store was completely under Xu Ran's name.

Xu Ran glanced at the system panel.

[Main quest 2: Plan ahead.]

Description: Ask the host to upgrade the system clerk to the system store manager, and have his own shop in any second-level town.

Reward: System Clerk x2, System Upgrade XP +200]

Having a storefront in Cloud Picking City is halfway through the main quest 2.

Next, Tony needs to be promoted to the manager of the system.

Thinking of the large amount of resources needed to improve, Xu Ran had a headache.

This matter will have to wait until Cancan successfully completes his evolution.

The priority of the evolution of the three small ones is, of course, higher than the system task.

But... There is one more thing that needs to be put on the agenda.

Xu Ran touched his chin.

Now that we already have a storefront, it is not far to open a branch.

Although it hasn't officially opened yet, it is possible to warm up.

I have to find a way to advertise it, so that the name of the Spark foster care store will appear in the eyes of everyone in Cloud City.

"So I have to participate in tomorrow's exchange." Xu Ran sighed slightly, "Forget it, for the sake of business, don't chill." ”

Looking at the somewhat dim sky, Xu Ran turned his head and looked at the three small ones with large bags on the side.

Well... Mainly the stars and cancan are carrying.

Ziyun lazily lay on the bright scale shell, in the name of letting it feel the weight of 3,000 points of debt at all times, but it was actually lazy after an afternoon of shopping.

"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel and put things in first, and then get ready to evolve."

The venue for evolution, Xu Ran had already found it in the afternoon.

It was a long winding mountain road in the city of Chuyun, and there were no street lights at night.

This should be the place that Xu Ran thinks is most in line with the requirements of the evolutionary ritual.

——

It's night.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the moonlight is sprinkled and the sky is full of stars.

One person and three pets are familiar with the road, and they came to the winding mountain road that they had stepped on before.

"Sure enough, there are no street lights, perfect." Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at the sky with a little helplessness, "It's this moonlight..."

With moonlight, it can't be considered pure darkness, right?

"Sigh!" (I want to try!) ）

Xingchen spoke earnestly, his tone firm.

"Are you sure?" Xu Ran's expression also became slightly serious, "If there is a problem with the ritual, it may become difficult to evolve." ”

Xingchen nodded again.

What pure darkness is, it is still unclear.

But it doesn't want to wait any longer.

It wants to surpass itself, catch up with Ziyun's pace, and become stronger.

Only in this way can we better help everyone.

Feeling Xingchen's thoughts, Xu Ran was slightly moved.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "In that case, I will accompany you in your evolution. ”

"Meow~" (And me!) ）

"Cha!" (And me!) ）

Ziyun and Cancan raised their claws in unison.

With emotion in his eyes, Xingchen snorted and nodded heavily.

Swallowing all the evolutionary resources that Xu Ran had prepared, and finally pinning the Night Demon Dragon's horn around his neck, the star was unshrunk and restored to a height of four meters.

Xu Ran hugged Ziyun and Cancan and turned over and sat on Xingchen's back, pointing towards the top of the mountain at the foot of the winding mountain road.

"Let's go!"

"Sigh the !! of the law"

With a high-pitched hiss, the stars closed the Heart of Eternal Night and strode forward.

Run!

Run!

The resources that had just been swallowed had already initially erupted in Xingchen's body at this moment, and the violent energy escaped from its body uncontrollably, making the one person and two pets sitting on Xingchen's back feel extremely clear.

"Meow!" (Here we go!) ）

Ziyun, who has undergone an evolution, has a solemn expression.

It knows that this stage is the most torturous stage.

Come on, stars!

"Sigh!"

The star let out a hiss mixed with pain, and the sudden burst of power was like a spinning blade in its body, wrenching in its limbs, and the intense pain permeated its body, as if it wanted to merge into the star's body.

However, as if lacking some kind of guidance, these violent forces scurried around the stars like headless flies, but they never finished merging.

What's worse is that the absorbed resources are still bursting with energy.

This puts the stars under increasing pressure and pain.

"Meow~" (This state doesn't seem quite right!) ）

Engrossed in staring at the changes in the stars, Ziyun was a little anxious at this moment.

Although it was difficult to evolve, the energy has been in a state of absorption under the inexplicable guidance, not like the stars now, which are becoming more and more violent, but completely unable to absorb them.

Feeling the increasingly unstable state of the stars, Xu Ran's eyes also showed anxiety.

Could it really be the cause of moonshine?

Xu Ran raised his head sharply and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

A flash of lightning crossed Xu Ran's mind.

No, no!

What is Darkness?

If you can't see anything, it's darkness.

Even without the moonlight, Xingchen, as a dark pet beast, also has night vision and can see everything around him.

So...

"Xingchen, close your eyes and run!"
