Chapter 265: Cancan's Social Death and Earth Raccoon's Gratitude (2-in-1)
As Liu Yu made it clear that he would honor the gambling contract, and then turned around and left because he couldn't hold his face, this gambling that attracted a small range of attention came to an end.
After determining that Xu Ran would not be able to wash and care for their pet beasts today, those excited onlookers gradually dispersed, and only a few people remained.
"Boss Xu, thank you so much today." Zhou Hong scanned the code to pay excitedly, "I won't say much else, from now on, I will recognize your store!" β
"Our other services are also very good, you can try them together." Xu Ran responded with a smile.
"Haha, those who are not in demand for the time being, will definitely be in the future!" Zhou Hong scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, Lion Dragon Beast, we..."
He turned his head to look at the liondrakemon, only to find a man standing beside the liondrake who was no stranger to him.
It was a man with half-rimmed glasses, who looked rather Sven, and at this moment he was approaching the body of the lionmon, occasionally reaching out and plucking the lionmon's supple hair twice to see more details.
And the lion dragon beast with a stable personality looked at his beast master with helpless eyes at this moment, signaling him to hurry up and relieve himself.
"Boss Liu, what are you..."Zhou Hong couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Liu Fengyun, who was immersed in the observation of the state of the lion dragon beast's fur, suddenly came back to his senses, only then did he realize how rude his actions were just now, "Boss Xu's washing and care skills are indeed very powerful, which makes me a little obsessed." β
"Who is this?" Hearing Liu Fengyun's words, Xu Ran looked at Zhou Hong curiously.
"This is Boss Liu of Fengyun Foster Care Shop." Zhou Hong laughed, "I've been to their store before, so I know each other." β
"Speaking of which, Boss Liu, like Boss Xu, is also a foster care store that migrated from other places."
"Oh?" Xu Ran's eyes froze, and there was a little more curiosity in his eyes.
"Boss Xu, the first time we met, contemptible Liu Fengyun." Liu Fengyun stretched out a hand towards Xu Ran, "From Xuanxing City." β
"Hello Boss Liu." Xu Ran also stretched out a hand and clasped it with the other party's hand, "Fortunately." β
Xuanxing City...
He had vaguely heard of this second-level town.
It is said that every night in the night sky, the town is filled with countless stars that are so beautiful that you can't see them as soon as you leave the city.
"It can be seen that Boss Xu is very busy today." Glancing at the raccoon group outside the store, Liu Fengyun smiled slightly and let go of his clenched hand, "Then I won't disturb Boss Xu's business first." β
"Later, when I have time, I'll bother and ask for advice."
"Always welcome."
Sending Liu Fengyun and Zhou Hong away, Xu Ran walked quickly to the Earth Raccoon Clan, who had been waiting outside the store, and looked at the Earth Raccoon Patriarch who was the leader, "You have been waiting for a long time, right?" β
"Lu~"
Didn't wait long.
The Earth Raccoon Patriarch shook his head slightly, indicating that this was nothing.
Because of the past experience, even now, it is still a little wary of humans, and when it saw that there were so many humans standing in Xu Ran's shop before, it took the initiative to stand outside the store with other members of the Earth Raccoon clan and wait.
While the rest of the Raccoon Clan didn't understand its behavior, it didn't explain it too much.
"Raccoons that need to be cleaned and cared for can now come into the store." Xu Ran smiled and spoke, and then casually grabbed a ground raccoon that had obviously just been washed and cared for yesterday, "What was washed and cared for yesterday can't be washed anymore!" β
"Lu~"
The captured raccoon sticks out its tongue cutely, and then stands honestly outside the shop under the death gaze of the Ground Raccoon Patriarch.
"Lu~"
Washed and cared for is waiting outside!
The Raccoon Patriarch spoke, and then followed into the storefront.
As the patriarch, he did not receive baptism yesterday.
In fact, even today, it is still going to be the last to wash.
Walking into the foster care store, the land raccoon patriarch suddenly sniffed.
For a moment, it sensed a very familiar aura that made it feel extremely threatening.
And the source of that breath...
The Raccoon Patriarch looked left and right, and quickly locked his eyes on a golden dragon turtle that was sneaking up the stairs.
In an instant, this small dragon turtle came into contact with the handsome terrifying creature it had encountered in the depths of the earth with its group yesterday.
"Oooooo
It's you?!
The Earth Raccoon Patriarch couldn't help but let out a low exhalation, and at the same time, a strong look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Although it left yesterday, it clearly felt that the other party wanted to continue the pursuit.
This made it a little bit of a blessing for the rest of its life to finally escape back to the ethnic gathering area with the group.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, in the Xinghuo foster care store, it actually saw each other again.
Why, this horrible guy is also in the Spark boarding shop?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the exclamation of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch, Xu Ran looked at its gaze in surprise, and soon saw Cancan, whose movements were slightly stiff, "Cancan? β
"Cha~" (no... It's nothing! οΌ
Chancan shook his head violently and grinned in embarrassment.
In order to accompany Xu Ran to the bet just now, it has not yet gone to the training area to train, and has completely forgotten that the Earth Raccoon Clan will come to wash and care for this matter today.
Yesterday I encountered each other outside the city, and when I saw each other again at this moment, it suddenly had a feeling of social death.
Damn it... Take a step slower!
"Huh?" Looking at Cancan's strange actions, Xu Ran's eyebrows raised slightly.
It doesn't look like it's all right...
Thinking of this, Xu Ran suddenly remembered that the time when the Earth Raccoon Clan left the store yesterday and went outside the city happened to be about the same time as Cancan and Xingchen came back from outside the city.
So...
"What happened yesterday when business closed?"
"Cha?!" (How do you know?!) οΌ
Hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, Cancan's golden eyes couldn't help but widen a little.
I didn't say anything! How did Xu Ran guess?
Seeing Cancan's appearance, Xu Ran had a bottom in his heart, so he turned his head to look at the stars who couldn't bear to look at Cancan on the side.
"Sigh~" (Here's the thing...) οΌ
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Xu Ran, Xingchen shook his head, and then briefly talked about the fact that Cancan wanted to catch up and scare the other party after he bumped into the raccoon clan on the way back yesterday and scared the other party away.
After listening, Xu Ran and Ziyun, who were watching the play on the side, showed strange looks.
Cancan, this little guy... When I got to the outside of the city, I was able to let myself go.
"Okay, Cancan, apologize to others!" After knowing what happened, Xu Ran spoke angrily and funny.
"Cha~" (I'm sorry~)
Cancan blinked his eyes, honestly leaned in front of the Raccoon Patriarch, and whispered.
"Lu~"
It's okay, it's okay.
Knowing what was going on, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch shook his paws a little overwhelmed.
It was also the first time it had received an apology for the existence of the general's class.
For a while, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch had more good feelings about the Starfire Foster Shop.
"Wow!"
In return, it waved its paw at the ground raccoons waiting to be washed and cared for in the store, signaling them to line up one by one, be honest.
The fluffy ground raccoons quickly lined up, stepped forward one by one to take out the pyroxene stones they had prepared, put them on the counter, and then waited for Xu Ran to wash them, this picture looks quite joyful.
Seeing this, the three little ones only knew that the store didn't need their help at this moment, so they went upstairs together and went to their respective training areas for a new day of training.
"So let's get started." Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran patted a ground raccoon standing at the front of the line and motioned for it to follow.
A man and a beast entered the washing room, and after a while, a ground raccoon with a strange voice came from the washing room.
"Lu~~~"
ββ
"Whoaβ"
"Bellβ"
A series of smashing sounds came faintly from the closed door of the Huanyu foster care store.
In the storefront, the clerks silently looked at Liu Yu, who kept smashing things, not knowing what to do.
After a long while, Liu Yu stopped what he was doing, he gasped, slowly put his favorite ceramic vase on the table, and pointed to all kinds of shredded paper and plastic products on the ground, "Clean up these things." β
"Yes." A clerk walked out briskly and began to clean up the mess on the ground with his hands and feet.
"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Among the clerks, a young man who seemed to have a higher status walked up to Liu Yu's side, a worried look appeared on his face, "Do we really want to do it according to the gambling contract?" β
"If that's the case, the traffic of our Huanyu foster care store will gradually be divided by the other party..."
"I know!" Liu Yu rubbed the aching forehead, "But so many people are watching, if I play tricks directly, the reputation of the Huanyu foster care store will be completely finished!" β
Thinking of Liu Fengyun, who stood in the crowd and watched the excitement, and stabbed his weakness with a cold word, Liu Yu's eyes were a little more gloomy.
These foster care stores from other places really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp.
He had no doubt that if he didn't fulfill his promise at that time, Liu Fengyun would definitely make a stumbling block, let this matter spread throughout Demon Wood City, and make the Huanyu Foster Care Store completely discredited.
Therefore, at that time, he said that he would honor the gambling contract, which was really a last resort.
Thinking of the consequences of cashing in on the gambling contract, Liu Yu couldn't help but want to give himself a slap in the face.
If you don't gamble in the first place, nothing happens.
It's a pity...
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu's expression tried his best to restore his former calm, "Zhang Tianhe." β
"I'm here." The young man with a higher status spoke in a deep voice, "Boss, what do you command?" β
"First of all, cancel all the cleaning and care services of the Huanyu foster care store." Liu Yu's voice paused slightly, "Transform the washing room into other uses." β
"It's like a global foster care store, and there has never been a cleaning service."
ββ¦ Good! Zhang Tianhe pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.
He already understood Liu Yu's intention in doing this.
At this moment, there are still a few people who know about it.
Even because the cleaning and care service of the Huanyu foster care store takes a lot of time, the vast majority of customers are also unaware of it.
Since there is a requirement in the gambling contract that the Huanyu foster care store will not be involved in cleaning and care from now on, then it will go with the flow and completely eliminate the traces of the cleaning and care services of the Huanyu foster care store.
With such cold treatment, it is possible to retain the previous guests as much as possible.
As the boss, at such a critical juncture, he can also think of the best stop-loss plan!
"Second..."Liu Yu's voice paused again, and at the same time, a little coldness appeared in his eyes, "Outside our Huanyu foster care store, post a notice." β
"The content of the notice is a list of foster care stores that have launched cleaning and care services in Demon Wood City, telling our guests that the store does not plan to launch cleaning and care services, and if customers have cleaning needs, they can go to these stores for cleaning and care."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu snorted, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, "The bet is that our Huanyu foster care store wants to recommend guests to the Xinghuo foster care store." β
"But it didn't say that we could only recommend guests to the Spark foster care store."
"What I'm doing is not a breach of the gambling contract."
"Yes!" Zhang Tianhe nodded heavily, a hint of admiration rising in his eyes.
It is worthy of Boss Liu!
Although there was some impulsiveness in the previous bet, he still showed such a powerful plan in the current store management crisis.
If you only recommend customers to the Xinghuo boarding store, in addition to directing all the customer traffic to each other and allowing the other party to get great benefits, it will also let more and more people know about this bet.
"Why do you only recommend the Spark foster care store?"
"Because I lost a bet."
"What is the bet?"
ββ¦β
And recommend all storefronts, which does not pose such a problem.
After all, it is true that there is no cleaning service in the Huanyu foster care store, and it is reasonable to share the worries of customers, and it is even more fair and just to list all the foster care stores that have launched cleaning and care services.
"That's right." A sharp light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, "Call those local stores that have launched cleaning and care services, and see if you can give them a discount, let them make a profit, and target the foster care stores in other places together." β
"In this way, it is said that we have won a discount for our guests, and it can also play a certain role in saving our reputation."
"Also, put the Xinghuo foster care store at the back of the recommended list..."Liu Yu's voice paused slightly, and then changed his words, "No, this is a bit deliberate, but it's not beautiful, let's put it in the penultimate one." β
"Yes!" Zhang Tianhe nodded heavily, with a little more admiration in his eyes.
Good move, one stone and many birds.
Soon, there was a chaotic sound inside the Huanyu foster care store.
In a very short period of time, the newly built washing room erased all traces of washing and was transformed into a small training room.
The contents of the store related to cleaning and care have also disappeared.
When it reopened, there was a rather conspicuous notice outside the door of the Huanyu Foster Care Store.
γTo all our valued guestsγ
[Due to the recent lack of Xuanmu dew, the demand for pet animal care has become great, and many guests have asked whether the store has similar services, and now we will reply in a unified manner.
In order to focus on pet foster care and sparring services, and provide better service quality for guests, the store has not launched a plan for cleaning and care services, and we hope that customers will understand.
To make up for this, we have made a list of foster care stores in Demon Wood City that have cleaning services, and have reached cooperation with some of them, and our members can enjoy discounted cleaning and care at the corresponding stores.
The following is a list of the corresponding foster care stores:
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦γ
Standing in front of the notice posted by his house, after carefully reading every word, Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then looked in the direction of the Xinghuo foster care store from afar, and let out a sneer.
Want to use our worldwide foster care store as a stepping stone?
You're still a little tender! ββ
"Whew~"
Stretching his waist, looking at the new and greatly improved appearance of the ground raccoons in the store, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the last member of the ground raccoon group who had not been washed.
Ground Raccoon Chief.
"Raccoon Chief, it's your turn."
"Lu~"
Good.
The Earth Raccoon Patriarch nodded slightly, a hint of nervousness flashing in the depths of his eyes.
It has never been so close to a human, and it has never been allowed to wash itself.
After all, before it migrated to the Demon Wood Domain with the race, the humans had killed many of its people, and its people had also killed many humans, and the two sides were mortal enemies.
Thinking of this, the earth raccoon patriarch was a little hesitant.
And the system identification in front of Xu Ran also popped up new text content.
[Race name: Earth raccoon.]
Attribute: Earth
Growth Level: Commander Rank
Body type: Medium
Washing and care needs: β β β β β
Evaluation: The past memory of mutual hatred is the shackles that cannot be broken free in its heart, please let washing and care become the key to open the shackles, and bring pleasure to it with both hands! γ
Well?
Looking at the system's evaluation of the earth raccoon patriarch, Xu Ran was slightly stunned.
Before, he would use the system to identify every ground raccoon to take a look, compared to other carefree members of the ground raccoon clan, the patriarch in front of him seemed to be a little different...
He couldn't help but glance at the Earth Raccoon Patriarch one more time, and then spoke softly, "Please follow me." β
Either way, just wash it!
Thinking of this, Xu Ran turned around again and walked into the washing room.
The Earth Raccoon Patriarch looked at Xu Ran's back in silence.
It wasn't until Xu Ran was about to walk into the bathroom that it shook its head violently and followed quickly.
The door to the bathroom closed quietly.
In the bathroom, the earth raccoon patriarch became a little more nervous.
"Don't worry, it's easy." Xu Ran tried to speak in a gentle tone as much as possible, "You also heard the voices of your people before, right?" β
The Earth Raccoon Patriarch nodded.
Every raccoon that entered the washing room before was very relaxed, although it was a little weird, but this weirdness was also because it was too comfortable.
Washing and caring should not be too terrible.
Thinking of this, the tense nerves of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch relaxed slightly.
"Come, lie down here." Xu Ran, who was always paying attention to the clan leader of the raccoon, was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the other party's emotions, and pointed to the washing table on the side.
After adjusting the posture of the Raccoon Chief, he began to methodically prepare for the wash.
Soon, the prepared bath liquid passed through the shower head and gently washed it on the slightly old but still strong body of the Raccoon Patriarch.
The warm water soaked each coarse, long hair on its body, and then penetrated deep into the roots and hair follicles along the gaps of the hair, bringing deep nourishment and warmth and soothing sensation to the tense and tired body of the Raccoon Chief.
The Ground Raccoon Patriarch's expression, which was wrinkled from nervousness, slowly opened up at this moment, and at this moment, it felt a much more complete comfort than washing its body with a stream in the wild.
The only thing that can compare to this feeling is Genki Lu, right?
Thinking of this, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch had a little more understanding of the strange voices of the clansmen before.
But it was clear that it had come a little early.
Because after being fully drenched, Xu Ran's hand gently pressed on the body of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch.
Being touched by a human made the Earth Raccoon subconsciously wary, its body tensed uncontrollably, and the fierce aura of the Commander Rank Transcendent creature involuntarily escaped.
However, after a moment, realizing that the human in front of him was trying to wash itself, the ground raccoon quickly reined in his momentum and tried to relax his tense body.
It seems that the system's evaluation is really correct, but I don't know what the reason for this situation is the ground raccoon patriarch.
Noticing this scene, Xu Ran muttered to himself in his heart, patiently waiting for the other party to relax again, and then the hand on the ground raccoon patriarch began to move.
As the shampoo was washed along the back of the head to the tail vertebrae, Xu Ran's hands began to rub continuously, opening every inch of the hair that was close together, so that the shampoo could better penetrate through the gaps of the hair.
Immediately afterward, the movement of his hand changed, and he began to work on it.
With Xu Ran's sometimes gentle and sometimes vigorous kneading of different parts to promote the flow of energy in the hair and epidermis, so that the nutrients in the bath and shampoo can be more fully absorbed, the eyes of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch slowly widened at this moment.
It felt a strange sensation that it had never felt before, as if every hair follicle was being rubbed, and it was transmitted as if it was slightly numb by a subtle electric current, and the strange feeling of comfort made its body tremble uncontrollably with Xu Ran's kneading rhythm.
The eyes of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch were a little more confused.
It felt as if its body had lost the heaviness and stability that an earth-based pet beast should have, and had become ethereal and light, as if it was about to fly into the sky.
At this moment, it forgets the shadow of hatred between humans and wild transcendent creatures, forgets all past and worries, and only a great sense of pleasure fills its heart.
An uncontrollable strange sound was squeezed out of its throat with difficulty.
"Lu~~~"
At this moment, it is lost.
ββ
"Welcome back next time!"
In front of the store, Xu Ran waved his hand to the gathered group of ground raccoons, with a little smile on his face.
Although there is no pleasure in the account, he can also feel the pleasure from the bottom of his heart when he washes and cares for these wild and extraordinary creatures, and he feels pleasure and happiness because of it.
"Lu~"
We will definitely come back!
Standing at the forefront of the Earth Raccoon Clan, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch nodded heavily.
After this washing, it has become completely infatuated with that pleasant feeling, and at the same time, the vigilance and vigilance against human beings in its heart have also been knocked open by Xu Ran.
At the very least, it won't be as avoidant of contact with humans as it has been in the past.
With a wave of his hand at Xu Ran, the Earth Raccoon clan reluctantly turned away and quickly disappeared.
Putting down the waving hand, Xu Ran turned his head to look at the three little ones behind him, "Okay, the business is over, we should..."
"Boss Xu, excuse me."
Not far away, a slightly familiar voice was heard.
Xu Ran followed the prestige and soon saw a Sven man with glasses.
He also had the impression that the other party was the owner of a foster care shop called Fengyun Foster Care Shop.
"Boss Liu, why are you here?" Xu Ran smiled and stepped forward to greet him, but when he got closer, he found that the other party's expression seemed to be a little unpleasant.
"The Universal Foster Care Store has posted a notice in front of the store." Liu Fengyun spoke slowly.
"Oh? The bet was fulfilled? Xu Ran's eyes lit up, and his face was a little more happy, "I didn't expect them to be so fast." β
With the drainage of the Huanyu foster care store, the popularity of the Xinghuo foster care store will definitely be able to increase a lot!
"No, things may be a little different from what you imagined, Boss Xu." Looking at the joy on Xu Ran's face, Liu Fengyun shook his head slightly, and then took out a photo and handed it to Xu Ran, "Boss Xu, take a look for yourself." β
"Huh?" Xu Ran had a little more suspicion on his face, and took the photo and looked at it.
In the photo, it is a store with a good decoration, and the five big characters of "Huanyu Foster Care Store" are written on the store.
Obviously, this is the entrance of the Huanyu Foster Care Store.
Soon, Xu Ran's eyes fell on the eye-catching notice in the photo.
The words on the notice appeared, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The other party did everything he could, but it was completely different from what he expected.
In this way, the benefits that Xinghuo foster care stores can get are minimal, and it is difficult to achieve the expected significant increase in popularity.
"This Boss Liu..."Xu Ran opened his mouth, and finally a little helplessness appeared on his face, "It's really cunning." β
"yes." Liu Fengyun also had a little sigh on his face, "Moreover, this guy also took the opportunity to join forces with local foster care stores to suppress our foster care stores in other places." β
"Although we foster care stores from other places said that we were invited by the association, it is impossible for the association to support us in such business competition."
"In other words, if we lose even this kind of commercial competition, then there is no value in being supported by the association."
"So Boss Xu..."Liu Fengyun turned his head and looked at Xu Ran, "I can see that you have real skills." β
"In fact, most of the foster care stores that can be invited to come to Demon Wood City to open a store are not bad in technology."
"So, are we going to join forces and do a big deal?"
ββ
"Lulu~"
"Lulu~"
In the raccoon's racial gathering area, the raccoons are cheering and dancing, playing with each other.
Among their ethnicity, it's a way to celebrate.
What needs to be celebrated today is undoubtedly that all members of the race have been washed and renewed.
However, in the carnival of the ground raccoon, there are a few other figures.
It was a couple of rat-like pets covered in solid rock scales.
Dirt system collar race, earth rock rat.
They have a good relationship with the raccoon family, and this time they happened to pass by and were invited.
Seeing the ground raccoons that seemed to have been reborn, these earth and rock rats kept whispering and making "squeak" sounds, with strong curiosity in their eyes.
Seeing this scene, the Ground Raccoon Patriarch who was sitting on a large stone flashed his eyes, jumped down from the stone, and walked towards them step by step.
