Soon, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch appeared in front of the strongest of the earth rats.

is also the strength of the commander level, this earth rock rat raccoon patriarch is no stranger, it is the strongest clansman under the earth rock rat patriarch, and its status among the earth rock rat clan is not low.

"Lu~"

What are you talking about?

With kindness in his eyes, the Earth Raccoon Clan asked knowingly.

The powerful earth rock rat looked at the ground raccoons around him, and then at the same rejuvenated earth raccoon patriarch, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Squeak~"

Did you get a new Xuanmu dew?

In its opinion, the only thing that can make these ground raccoons so clean is the magical gift produced by the Xuanmu Beast Emperor-Xuanmu Lu.

However, it had been clear that Xuanmu Lu had not been born for several months, and where did the Earth Raccoon Clan get so much?

Don't... Because of something, they were rewarded and gifted by the Xuanmu Beast Emperor?

Thinking of this in a flash, the earth rock rat's eyes couldn't help but show a little envy.

That's the Beast Emperor, I don't know how many levels higher than them, and a little gift can give a low-level race like them a chance to become the Beastmaster.

From the changing eyes of the earth rock rat, he guessed the other party's thoughts, and a smile flashed in the eyes of the earth raccoon patriarch, and at the same time sighed.

Although it received washing care at the Spark Foster Care Shop and solved the washing and care problem of the race, it still hoped that the Xuanmu Beast Emperor would recover as soon as possible.

This is also the common wish of countless transcendent beings in the Demon Wood Domain.

After all, they were all protected by the Sky Tree.

Shaking his head and shaking off his chaotic thoughts, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch looked at his old friend in front of him and smiled.

"Lu~"

It's not Xuanmu Lu, it's humans who wash and care for us.

"Squeak?!"

Mankind?!

Hearing the answer of the Earth Raccoon Patriarch, the Earth Rock Rat's eyes widened, and a little surprise appeared in his eyes.

This surprise was due to the unexpected answer, but more because of the change in the Raccoon Patriarch.

Unlike the Earth Raccoons, the Earth Rock Rat Clan is a race of transcendent creatures native to the Demon Wood Domain, and they have been inhabiting this territory since the Ferris Xuanmu occupied this territory.

After so many years, they have long been accustomed to the existence of humans, and their relationship with humans is quite harmonious, and they will even occasionally entrust the excellent little guys in the clan to the human beast master for a contract.

Therefore, whenever they see the Raccoon Patriarch and his own group consciously or unintentionally moving away from humans, they will feel quite incomprehensible.

And now, this old guy who has always been reluctant to make contact with humans has suddenly changed?

Seeing its thoughts in the surprised and strange eyes of the earth rock rat, the Earth Raccoon Clan Elder blushed, but fortunately, its gray fur was enough to hide this strangeness, making it seem to change the topic calmly.

"Lu~"

Want to know where that foster care store is?

"Squeak~"

Tell me!

The Earth Rock Rat nodded heavily, and its mind returned to another point that surprised it.

The washing and care of those humans in Demon Wood City actually has such an effect?

In its senses, the washing and care effect of these ground raccoons in front of it is even better than washing and caring with Xuanmu dew.

In the past, the humans of Demon Wood City did not have this kind of technology in their impressions.

"Lu~"

That place is...

The Earth Raccoon Patriarch made a gesture, and soon made the Earth Rock Rat, who had been in the city many more times than him, understand the specific location of the Starfire Foster Shop.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

Several other earth rat clans on the side secretly noted down this location, and they also looked very excited.

Unlike ground raccoons, they often burrow underground, and they are prone to leave dirt on their bodies that cannot be resolved even with the power of the earth system, so they have a greater need for cleaning and care.

After months of not washing, some of the earth rats in the group began to dislike burrowing.

However, drilling holes is also a part of their cultivation to sharpen themselves and become stronger.

Such a waste is not allowed!

So, there is a wash that can replace Xuanmu Lu, and they are already eager to put on their wings and go immediately!

Looking at the eager earth rock rat, a smile appeared in the eyes of the earth raccoon patriarch.

For Xu Ran to wash and protect his family, the earth raccoon patriarch always has a little gratitude in his heart.

What you do at this moment should be able to repay the other party, right?

In addition to the surprise, the one with the highest status among the earth and rock rats suddenly calmed down.

It thought of a question.

Xuanmu Dew is a resource produced by the Beast Emperor, even if it is not cherished because of the large amount, it is enough to give it to all the living beings in the Demon Wood Domain for free, but it is also the power of the Beast Emperor level.

Xuanmu Lu is free, it is a gift from the Beast Emperor, but the humans in Demon Wood City are very good at doing business.

Washing and care comparable to that of Xuanmu dew... The price should be expensive, right?

Thinking of this, the earth rock rat couldn't help but glance at the raccoon clan, and his heart was slightly settled.

Their earth-rock rat clan is not as good as the ground raccoon that can use the latent soil, but it is not much worse, the ground raccoon can wash and care for the whole family, and the price of this washing and care should also be affordable for them.

Still, there is a question to ask.

"Squeak?"

How much does it cost to wash and care for a human being?

"Wow!"

Just three pyroxenite!

Before the raccoon patriarch could speak, a ground raccoon next to him excitedly came up and interjected while wriggling its big tail fluffy like a feather duster.

Three pyroxenite?

The eyes of several members of the Earth Rock Rat Clan lit up in unison.

For these earth-based beings, it is not difficult to raise a resource like pyroxenite, and it is not a precious resource.

Three pyroxene stones, can let a clansman wash and care for it?

The reflexes of the earth and rock rats have begun to break their claws, calculating how much pyroxene they need for the whole clan to wash and care.

Before they could figure it out, the Earth Raccoon Patriarch glared lightly at the interjecting Earth Raccoon, and then shook his head slightly.

"Lu~"

Don't listen to its nonsense! The price of washing and care is not three pyroxenite.

Huh?

The earth and rock rats, who were still excited just now, seemed to have been splashed with cold water after hearing the words of the earth raccoon patriarch, and they calmed down suddenly.

Oh, yes... How could the washing and care of such a precious resource as Xuanmu Dew be equivalent to the pyroxene stone that they could not use in their cultivation?

That raccoon must be joking, the real price will be more expensive...

Before the earth and rock rats could ask, the earth raccoon patriarch had already shook his head slightly and spoke again.

"Lu~Lulu~"

Washing and care is according to the size of the body, we are medium-sized, and you can only be regarded as small, so your washing and care price is the resource corresponding to 7 Beast Master points~

Huh?

Hearing this, the Earth Rock Rat Clan was stunned again.

Because they often deal with humans, they are no strangers to the Beast Envoy Points, and in fact, they often use this special equivalent in exchange resources with humans.

Three pyroxene stones, converted into Beastmaster points, are 27.

And they, only need seven Beast Master points to make a clansman wash and care?!

That said...

With a piece of pyroxenite, there is even a surplus?!

Thinking of this, the eyes of the Earth Rock Rat Clan were completely lit up, and their faces were full of surprise.

That's too cheap, isn't it?!

"Squeak~"

Without further ado, I'll go first!

No longer had the heart to stay in the territory of the Earth Raccoon, the strong man of the Earth Rock Rat Clan said hello to the Earth Raccoon Patriarch and turned away with his own people.

Looking at their departing backs, the eyes of the earth raccoon patriarch were full of smiles, and he did not forget to remind them.

"Lu~"

That shop is closed, so I won't be able to go tomorrow morning!

——

"Do a vote... Bigger? ”

Hearing Liu Fengyun's words, Xu Ran's face was a little surprised.

The boss Liu in front of him looked at Sven and elegant, and he spoke with a bit of arrogance.

"What does Boss Liu mean when he says that he has a big vote?" Xu Ran asked with interest.

In his bones, he is not a peaceful person.

If the other party said that he had an appetite for a vote, he wouldn't mind getting involved.

"Is this..."Liu Fengyun smiled, his voice paused slightly, and he didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"I saw that Boss Xu's washing and care today was accompanied by the guests of the Beast Master, so there is actually nothing in the washing process that people can't see?"

"Yes." Xu Ran nodded slightly.

The techniques he learned from the system were not something that could be learned by simply looking at them, and as for the formulas of those baths, they were also so bad that they couldn't learn anything at all.

So, he can rest assured that others will watch the whole process.

"The same is true of our Fengyun foster care store." Liu Fengyun had a happy smile on his face, "I think the most valuable thing about really good cleaning and care is the experience of cleaning and care, not something that can be stolen by looking at it." ”

"Not only you and me, but also most of the other people who were invited to run a foster care store in Demon Wood City." Liu Fengyun's voice paused slightly, "In comparison, those local foster care stores are some... Hehe. ”

He shook his head and chuckled, "I still remember that after the business of our Fengyun foster care store gradually improved, these local colleagues did not come to our store to spy on us. ”

"And when they launched the cleaning service, they didn't accept guests to accompany the cleaning service, and turned away everyone who wanted to see it." Liu Fengyun shook his head slightly, "It's really a little family to cherish yourself like this." ”

"Is that so..."Xu Ran's expression also became a little strange, "I thought the Huanyu Foster Care Store was just an example." ”

"Don't talk about that." Liu Fengyun smiled, "Boss Xu just asked me how I want to do a big vote." ”

"All we want from other foster care stores is to gain a foothold in the local area and have enough customers."

"So, naturally, we want more people to know about our store and how our cleaning and care services are." A hint of anticipation flashed in Liu Fengyun's eyes, "I think... Gather everyone and have a public care demonstration! ”

"Good!" Xu Ran's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

Liu Fengyun has a sentence that speaks to his heart, that is, to let more people know about their storefront.

This coincides with the need for the system to increase visibility.

On the other hand, if you are exhibiting in public, you can get a general idea of the content just by listening to it.

Show the whole process of washing and care in front of everyone's eyes, so that they can clearly see the comparison of extraordinary creatures before and after washing.

It doesn't get much more intuitive and engaging than that.

"Boss Liu, do you have more specific ideas? When and where will it be conducted? Xu Ran asked expectantly, "We participated in the Spark Foster Care Shop!" ”

"Uh..." Liu Fengyun had a hint of helplessness on his face.

When he came to Xu Ran, he guessed that Xu Ran should agree to this suggestion.

But Xu Ran's performance of such initiative and enthusiasm still surprised him greatly.

"Boss Xu, don't worry, in fact, this is just an idea I only have today." His face was a little more embarrassed, "I was the first to find you, just to ask for advice." ”

"Since you have no problem with Boss Xu, then I will take the lead and negotiate with other foster care stores from other places to see which stores are involved, and then determine the specific time... What do you think? ”

"Yes." Xu Ran nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, and added, "But it's best to complete it within half a month." ”

"I signed up for the Battle of All Races, and I may not be available in half a month."

"The War of All Nations?" An obvious look of surprise appeared on Liu Fengyun's face, and he almost thought that he had misheard.

Immediately afterwards, seeing the three little ones behind Xu Ran, Liu Fengyun smiled dumbly, "It seems that Boss Xu is not only a foster care shop owner who is proficient in cleaning and care, but also a genius beast master." ”

"At that time, I will be there to cheer for Boss Xu." Liu Fengyun made a little joke, and then returned to the topic, "Half a month, it will definitely not be used, and Boss Xu can rest assured." ”

"As for the specific time, I will try to confirm it by this time tomorrow, and I will inform Boss Xu when the time comes."

"Okay, hard work Boss Liu." Xu Ran nodded.

Seeing the other party leave, Xu Ran took the three little ones back to the storefront.

Close the door, have dinner, meditate.

Nothing was said all night.

When Xu Ran woke up from meditation and slowly opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the second day.

Watching the morning light falling on the side of the bed falling on the three little ones who were sleeping together, covering them with a layer of light golden luster, Xu Ran couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to record this scene.

Awakened by the sound of the shutter, Sanxiao only opened his eyes in a daze, and gradually woke up after seeing Xu Ran who got up.

"Looks like you're sleeping soundly." Xu Ran smiled and spoke, then changed his clothes and walked to the bathroom, "Come and wash up, ready for breakfast!" ”

This time, the three little ones were completely sober.

Breakfast!

Rush the duck!

Soon, one person and three pets sat around in the empty foster care area on the second floor.

Xu Ran used the system's ability to change the terrain to build a dining table out of thin air, slowly eating the rice rolls he made himself, and sitting on either side of him and opposite sat three small ones who were also enjoying the food.

"The foster care area, there is still some space." Another mouthful of rice rolls, Xu Ran looked at the empty terrain around him, and shook his head helplessly, "After arriving in Demon Wood City for two days, it seems that the guests are all here to wash and care." ”

"I don't know when there will be the first foster resident."

"Meow~" (I think it should be soon.) ）

Ziyun lifted his head from the wide-mouthed bowl, wiped the residual soup from his mouth with his paws, and then slowly licked his paws and spoke calmly.

"Sigh~" (There are more people who wash and care, and the number of foster care will gradually increase.) ）

The stars hissed and expressed their opinion.

"Cha?" (But now it seems that the people who wash and care for them are all wild and transcendent creatures, so they shouldn't have any need for foster care, right?) ）

Cancan "whined" and ate the last food on the plate in one bite, and opened his mouth when he heard the words.

"You have a point." Xu Ran touched his chin and said with a smile, "But the people who washed and cared for it before were all extraordinary creatures, which was an accident." ”

"Now that the raccoons have been washed, it's time for some normal guests." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "With yesterday's gambling fight, the guests of the Beast Master who are interested in the Xinghuo Foster Store should come today." ”

"As long as they feel the service of the Spark Foster Care Store, I believe that there will be customers who will take the initiative to recommend our store to the people around them, so that we will have more and more customers."

"As long as there are enough customers, there will always be customers who want to try services other than cleaning and care, so as to open up the situation." Xu Ran said with a smile as he quickly cleaned up the tableware and food bowl on the table, "Let's go, let's go to the first floor." ”

Quickly taking the elevator downstairs, Xu Ran walked quickly to the front of the store, pushed the store door open and smiled expectantly, "I don't know who the first customer will be today?" ”

In the next moment, after seeing the situation outside the store, the smile on Xu Ran's face stiffened slightly.

What's going on?

Outside the store, there was no crowd as he expected.

On the contrary, it is overcrowded with rats.

Looking at the earth and rock rat that was covered with gray rock scales and was not big in size, but not weak in the slightest, Xu Ran's expression gradually became sluggish.

Who can tell him what's going on?!

"Squeak~"

"Squeak~~"

After seeing Xu Ran open the door, the earth rock rats looked very happy, they kept shouting, jumping in front of Xu Ran and gesturing something, they looked a little more honest, not like a fierce transcendent creature at all.

But...

"I don't understand..."Xu Ran rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't talk together, come one by one!" ”

Hearing Xu Ran's words, the earth rock rat group quickly quieted down, and they neatly split into two to make way for them.

At the other end of the road, two figures quickly came towards Xu Ran.

One of them is a rock rat that is larger than the other rock rats and is also more powerful than the other rock rats.

As for the other...

Looking at the Raccoon Patriarch with a friendly smile on his face and a rather honest face, Xu Ran seemed to have guessed the origin of this group of earth and rock rats.

"Lu~"

Good morning!

The earth raccoon patriarch greeted Xu Ran warmly.

"Aha... Good morning. After understanding the other party's meaning through the other party's posture and expression, Xu Ran smiled helplessly and greeted the other party as well.

It seems that what he said at breakfast just now has come true.

After experiencing the service of Xinghuo Foster Care Shop, the guests took the initiative to recommend it to other guests around them.

Merely... These guests are not human.

Looking at the earth and rock rats that were more numerous than the earth raccoon group, Xu Ran sighed silently.

Although it is said that the earth rock rat is a small and extraordinary creature, the washing time will be shorter.

But there are so many of them, and it's enough for him to keep him busy for a day.

"Come on, come on!" Xu Ran waved his hand at the earth and rock rats resignedly, "Line up one by one, come in and wash and care!" ”

"Squeak~" (I'll come first!) ）

The Earth Rock Rat Patriarch, who had joined forces with the Earth Raccoon Patriarch, looked at the other eager clans with threatening eyes, and then grinned excitedly, followed Xu Ran, and entered the washing room.

Take a bath, take a bath!

Rat and rat, I'm going to wash up today!

"Lie here."

In the washing room, Xu Ran looked at the earth rock rat patriarch with an expectant face, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Compared to the Earth Raccoon Patriarch, this guy is completely at two extremes.

This is true even for systematic reviews.

[Race name: Earth Rock Rat.]

Attribute: Earth

Growth Level: Commander Rank

Body type: Small

Care needs: ★★★★★

Comment: A guy who is unsuspecting of humans and desperately desires to wash and care, has already felt pleasure before he starts washing, no challenge, and it's really boring~]

"Wait a minute, I'll make some preparations." After observing the situation of the Earth Rock Rat Patriarch, Xu Ran turned around and got busy on the workbench.

"Squeak~"

The earth rock rat patriarch nodded obediently, lying motionless on the washing table, with a somewhat silly smile on his face.

As systematically reviewed, it seems to be feeling pleasure before it even starts washing.

Xu Ran, who didn't let the earth rock rat patriarch wait too long, quickly made all the preparations before washing and care, and soon had an extra kit in his hand.

He took out an iron skewer with a sharp tip and a flat back end and a small lightweight hammer, walked up to the Soil and Rock Rat Patriarch, and pressed the sharp tip of the iron skewer against the gap in his rock scales, and then gently struck the back end of the iron skewer with the small hammer.

"Tuk~"

With a dull and somewhat crisp sound, it sounded from the washing room, and the dirt that was deposited between the cracks of the rock scales, and the dirt that the power of the soil system could not dissolve, shattered, and the splashed crushed materials fell on both sides of the gaps.

The body of the Earth Rock Rat Patriarch also trembled slightly at the same moment.

With their original body structure, there shouldn't have been a gap between the scales of the rock that could hide dirt and dirt.

It is the continuous deposition of these irresolvable dirt that stretches open the gaps between the rock scales, allowing more dirt to be deposited, and finally forming a vicious circle, exposing the sensitive body under the scales of the earth and rock rats.

In this way, every time it enters the soil, it is an uncomfortable experience for the soil rat.

Now, with the gentle movement of the small hammer in Xu Ran's hand, the percussion sound that seemed to echo directly in the skull made the earth rock rat patriarch suddenly have an indescribable numbness all over his body.

The strange sensation of electricity passing through the side quickly came from the spot where the iron stick was, and the tremor pierced through the hard rock scales and sensitive body to the deepest depths.

The eyes of the earth rock rat patriarch were a little more erratic, and he unconsciously raised his head slightly, feeling the dazzling light above his eyes, and everything around him seemed to become blurred.

It felt its body become lighter under the gentle hammering, and the slightly tingling sensation continued to accumulate in the body, and finally turned into an extremely unbearable itch.

"Tuk~"

Xu Ran's last hammer fell at this moment.

As all the dirt hidden in the crevices between the scales of the rock was shattered, all the scales were now tightly pressed together.

The unbearable itch disappeared at the same time, and a sense of comfort and a slight sense of emptiness accompanied by the rock scales that tightly encompassed the surrounding body surged into the depths of the heart of the earth rock rat patriarch.

Its eyes became more and more misty.

A strange and slightly distorted tone squeezed out of its biting mouth, echoing throughout the bathroom for a long time.

"Squeak~~~"

——

"Welcome to the next time~"

At the door of the Xinghuo foster care store, Xu Ran waved goodbye to the earth and rock rat group that had returned satisfied, and a trace of tiredness that could not be concealed appeared in his eyes.

Washing the same race throughout the day is not only an individual task, but also a test of spirit and patience.

Fortunately, these earth and rock rats, who have not been washed for a long time, have given him enough pleasant feedback.

Although there is still no pleasure value in the account, their reaction when washing and caring is also a great incentive for Xu Ran.

It's just that...

"If you continue like this, I don't know if you will be able to complete the popularity goal in the Year of the Monkey..."Xu Ran couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, and opened the system task with his hand.

[Main quest 4: Spread the branches.]

Task description: Please successfully open branches in four different second-level towns, and the popularity of the branch reaches more than 50%, which is considered to be successful, the task is a stage task, and the task rewards will be distributed in stages.

Reward: System Skill Upgrade Talisman x1, System Upgrade Experience +600]

[Current Mission: Successfully open branches in two different second-level towns.]

Mission Progress: 1/2

Cloud City (Completed)

Demon Wood Castle (2.3/50)

Stage Quest Reward: System Clerk x3]

Well?

Looking at the lines of text in front of him, Xu Ran's expression suddenly froze.

After entering Demon Wood City and opening a second foster care store located in a second-level town, it can actually display the popularity progress normally?

He hasn't opened the task interface for the past few days, but he only sees it now.

However, after taking a closer look at the progress, Xu Ran's expression became surprised.

Actually...

It's already past two percent?!

At the beginning, in Chuyun City, it was simple to increase popularity, Xu Ran was clear.

At the beginning, the growth of popularity can be described as a turtle speed, and the popularity has been below 1% for several days.

After all, the popularity corresponds to the huge population base of Chuyun City.

It is also a second-level important town, although Demon Wood City is not as strong as Cloud City, but its population base is not inferior at all, and even because of the peace of the surrounding environment, it is more than Cloud City.

In such a situation, the popularity unknowingly exceeded two percent.

A thoughtful look appeared on Xu Ran's face.

He is recalling the events that the store has experienced in the past few days, which can increase its popularity.

Is it a bet with a global foster care store?

Sounds reasonable, but it shouldn't.

If the prediction is not bad, the Huanyu foster care store has already taken a cold approach, and although there are people who know the gambling contract, it is impossible to reach two percent of Demon Wood City.

So what are the other factors?

Thinking about it, Xu Ran's expression suddenly froze.

It won't be...

Wild transcendent creatures, huh?!
