Chapter 272: An Unusual New Resident

"Okay, good, out of town!"

Hearing Cancan's slightly urging voice, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile.

It seems that staying in the city every day for the past few days has indeed made this little guy with a strong desire to explore a little unbearable.

After so many days of delay, it's time to put the plan out of the city together on the agenda.

"Meow~" (Go out of the city to find the thunder in the depths of the ground!) )

Ziyun rubbed Xu Ran's face, and his heterochromatic pupils showed expectant eyes.

Although I haven't felt the specific situation of the thunder yet, if nothing else, there must be something related to the thunder in it.

It would be even better if it could improve its current strength!

One person and three pets were talking and laughing, and soon came to the bedroom on the thirteenth floor, and after a hurried wash, the three little ones were close to each other, and soon fell asleep.

Xu Ran, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the bed, working hard to complete his practice with the help of the advanced meditation accelerator card that had not yet expired.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, when Xu Ran opened the closed door of the store, he was greeted by a crowd of customers who had been waiting outside the store.

Seeing Xu Ran open the door, the guests who were talking quietly before were quiet for a while, and then they spoke one by one.

"I heard that the cleaning and care of your store is better than Xuanmulu, is it true?"

"Let me try it, you all get out of the way, I'll test the water for you!"

"You can pull it down, the abacus beads are about to collapse on my face, line up honestly!"

"Roar~"

"You..." Listening to the occasional sound mixed with a few beast roars, Xu Ran opened his mouth, and his expression gradually became surprised, "Came so early?" ”

Although he had already expected that with yesterday's public cleaning and care exhibition, there would be a lot of customers who came to the store today for cleaning.

But before the store opened, so many customers came to the door, which still made Xu Ran feel unexpected.

You must know that even when the business of Qingzhou City and Chuyun City stores is at its best, it is far from the case.

However, Xu Ran obviously ignored a problem.

Here, it's Demon Wood City.

The pet beasts and transcendent creatures here have all accumulated a lot of dirt in the past few months because of the suspension of the Xuanmu Dew by the Sky Xuanmu.

If it is described by the washing and care needs in the system identification, then the pet beasts and transcendent creatures here are at least the washing and care needs of three stars.

Previously, although cleaning and care services began to appear in Demon Wood City, the vast majority of people still held concerns and prejudices and maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

Until...

The pet beast that Xuanmu Lu could not wash and care for was turned new by Xu Ran with dexterous washing and care techniques.

This made countless people who were watching really realize that washing and care could replace Xuanmulu, or even surpass the existence of Xuanmulu.

In this way, those pet beasts and transcendent creatures who already have extremely high washing and care needs naturally can't sit still.

Among the long queue in front of me, there are even a very small number of people who have been queuing here since the middle of the night last night.

After a night of fermentation, the public washing and care display spread like the wind, and more and more people knew about the Xinghuo foster care store, and they came as soon as possible, and when Xu Ran opened the door, it became what it is today.

"I'm the first!" Standing at the front of the line, a young man with two obvious dark circles on his face, who had not slept all night, raised his hand, and then smiled and waved his hand to the people behind him, "I'll go in first~"

With that, he couldn't wait to walk into the store.

"Wait a minute, one by one." Xu Ran threw an apologetic smile at the other guests, and then entered the store as well, ready to entertain the first guest who came to the door.

As soon as the young man with dark circles entered the store, he was attracted by the price list hanging in the foster care store.

"Medium-sized pet beast 26666 one..."He muttered quietly, and then unfolded the summoning circle behind him without hesitation, "Wash!" ”

With the wind of energy, a leopard pet beast with light blue hair and a body length of about two meters stepped out of the void step by step.

It has dark blue markings on its body, a smooth, blue-black horn on the top of its head, and the most striking thing is the three long tails behind it that are completely condensed by water.

At the same time as it appeared, in front of Xu Ran's eyes, the results of system identification also appeared.

[Race name: Three-tailed Yan Leopard.]

Attribute: Water system

Growth Level: Elite Level

Body type: Medium

Washing and care needs: ★★★ ☆☆

Comments: This is a creature that craves the pleasure of the host's dexterous hands, so please satisfy the host's needs. 】

Water system...

Xu Ran's face showed a thoughtful look.

After running a foster care shop for so long, Xu Ran also discovered some rules of washing and care.

Among them, it includes the law of attributes.

The pet beast that appears least in the washing shop is the water pet beast.

The reason for this is that the vast majority of water pet animals have the ability to clean themselves, and can clean themselves for a longer time to maintain their peak condition.

Of course, there are a few exceptions.

For example, the waves of Liu Koi before, and the three-tailed Yan leopard in front of him.

As a pet beast in the water system, and it is a relatively rare strong offensive pet beast in the water system, the three-tailed Yan leopard has extremely high resistance to the water system, which is reflected in its fur, that is, it has a strong water avoidance.

Its supple and fine fur can easily block the power of the water system, and when facing opponents who are also water systems, this layer of fur alone can dissolve one or two layers of the opponent's power.

The heavens are all fair, and with such power, the fur of the three-tailed Yan leopard cannot even penetrate their own water system power.

As a result, the dirt in their fur is not completely clean.

In the long run, the three-tailed Yan leopard will feel uncomfortable.

The three-tailed Yan leopard in front of him is exactly like this.

And this is not a problem for Xu Ran.

There is no way to wash the fur with water, so it is better to wash it in another way.

A sand bath is a good choice.

"Come with me." Xu Ran pointed to the door of the washing room, motioned for the three-tailed Yan Leopard to follow him in, and then glanced at the young man with dark circles, "Do you want to follow?" ”

"Yes!" The young man with dark circles nodded heavily, with a look of expectation in his eyes, "I heard that your washing and care process is very improper, I just want to see it!" ”

The washing process is very improper...

The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly, "Where did you hear about it?" ”

"That's what everybody says." The young man with dark circles smiled, "Boss Xu, don't hide it, to be honest, what did you do before you went to the foster care store?" ”

Xu Ranquan didn't hear it, his pace quickly sped up a few points, and he soon entered the washing room with one person and one pet.

These, the young man with dark circles didn't have time to pay attention to Xu Ran's previous work in this line of work, looking at the indoor space that was larger than the outdoor space and the luxurious and perfect cleaning equipment inside, he couldn't help but gasp.

He was there at yesterday's public care demonstration.

While seeing the foster care stores showing their wonderful cleaning and care processes, young people with dark circles also paid attention to the various cleaning and care equipment on the stage.

That kind of washing and care equipment, at first glance, gives people a very professional and unclear feeling.

And at this moment, looking at the washing room that was much more luxurious than yesterday, the eyes of the young man with dark circles lit up in an instant.

In an environment like yesterday, Boss Xu could complete such a difficult washing and care for the pet beasts that Xuanmulu couldn't wash, so in a better environment today, Boss Xu's skills should be better, right?

Thinking of this, the young man with dark circles didn't care about anything else, so he quickly moved a small bench and sat down, nervously watching Xu Ran's washing and care process.

didn't care about the rich inner drama of the first guest today, Xu Ran quickly grinded various resources into uniform and fine bath sand, and started the first washing and care of the day.

Not long after, a three-tailed Yan leopard with a somewhat strange voice of pleasure came from the washing room.

——

"Welcome to the next time~"

Standing outside the foster care store, the smile on Xu Ran's face was already a little stiff.

In one morning, he received more than ten guests.

Even with all their efforts, the number of guests received was still very small compared to the long queue outside the door.

Fortunately, the guests in line seem to see this as well.

Feeling that it was their turn to be hopeless today, they also dispersed one after another, preparing to wait until tomorrow when the latter was more later, and then come and see.

Therefore, with the arrival of noon, there are only a few figures who insist on queuing outside the door.

"Welcome..."Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the next guest who came forward, Xu Ran was just about to skillfully open his mouth to welcome the other party, but after seeing the other party's face clearly, his voice suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face became a little more vivid, "Tutu, you are here too." ”

"Uh-huh!" Seeing Xu Ran again, Li Tutu's face was full of excitement, "Mr. Xu, I saw your washing and care yesterday!" ”

"You're amazing! When that exquisite flower king came to power, I was almost nervous to death, but I didn't expect you to be able to wash and protect even the pet beast that the Beast Emperor couldn't wash. ”

"It's just that Xuanmu Lu can't be washed, and the Beast Emperor must be more powerful when he takes action personally." Xu Ran smiled modestly, "So you also came to me to wash and care?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Tutu nodded heavily, followed Xu Ran into the store, and soon saw the price card hanging on the wall of the store.

He smiled, scratching his head with a bit of honesty on the expression on his face, "Fortunately, my pet beast is just a small pet beast, and you can save a lot of money by washing and caring for it!" ”

As he spoke, a small hamster with dark blond hair but the size of a palm poked its head out of the breast pocket of his clothes.

Carefully clasping his hands together and holding the little hamster from his chest pocket, Li Tutu smiled at Xu Ran, "Mr. Xu, this is my pet beast." ”

"Golden-whisker." Xu Ran nodded slightly.

Without systematic identification, he can recognize this petite and good-looking earth-based pet beast.

Completely different from the characteristics of the conventional earth-based pet beasts, which are large in size, heavy in defense, and have a large output range, the golden-whiskered rat is known for its dexterity and exploration.

The elite race has four innate skills, two of which are exploration skills, and one of the remaining two skills is a body skill, and only one is an attack type skill, and it is not very aggressive.

Such a feature makes it more often more of a support in the pet team.

Unexpectedly, Li Tutu would choose such a pet beast as his first pet.

"Xiao Jin, I'll take you to wash and care for it next!" Li Tutu was not surprised that Xu Ran recognized the origin of his pet beast, he carefully held Xiao Jin, followed Xu Ran, and entered the washing room.

Noticing this scene, Xu Ran's eyebrows raised slightly.

How does it feel... Li Tutu's attitude towards his pet beast is a little strange?

However, he didn't say much, and waited until one person and one pet entered, and slowly closed the door of the washing room.

Washing and caring for the small pet beasts, which was considered very small, did not delay Xu Ran too much, and after about ten minutes, the refreshed golden-whiskered rat lazily lay in the palm of Li Tutu's hand and walked out of the washing room.

Compared to when it entered, its dark golden hair was incomparably smoother, shining bright golden in the light, and it looked like a precious treasure.

Its slender pure golden whiskers were also straightened under Xu Ran's maintenance and trimming, which made it a little more luxurious.

Li Tutu was obviously very satisfied with such a washing effect, and he couldn't stop the smile on his face, and he paid without hesitation as soon as he came out.

"Mr. Xu, thank you so much for your washing! Xiao Jin's current appearance is really good-looking. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Xu Ran smiled, "You don't have to call me Mr. Xu all the time, just call me Boss Xu like other guests." ”

"Okay, Boss Xu." Li Tutu is as good as a stream.

"Hmm..."Xu Ran nodded, looking at the golden-bearded rat that Li Tutu had always held in the palm of his hand, he couldn't help but ask the doubts he had always had when he washed and cared for it, "Your attitude towards your pet beast seems to be a little special?" ”

"Huh?" Li Tutu looked at Xu Ran, and then at the golden-whiskered rat in the palm of his hand, "What's so special?" ”

"I think you seem to keep it as a pet." Xu Ran thought for a moment before slowly speaking, "During the whole washing process, you showed too much concern for it, as if it was not your pet animal, but your pet. ”

Hearing this, Li Tutu didn't react, and the golden-bearded rat, who always looked lazy in his palm, had already opened his small eyes and looked at Xu Ran with a look full of recognition.

"Pet beast... Pet..."A blank look appeared on Li Tutu's face, he thought for a moment, and then shook his head, "Boss Xu, is this any difference?" ”

"Of course there is a difference." Xu Ran was dumbfounded, "The pet beast is the partner of the beast master, and the relationship between the two should be comrades-in-arms and friends, but pets will not be like this." ”

"Partner?" Li Tutu looked at the golden-bearded rat in the palm of his hand, and there was a warm smile on his face, "Boss Xu, in fact, Xiaojin woke up unexpectedly. ”

"It started out as my pet hamster."

"A long time ago, I picked up the dying little gold from the garbage heap, and when I found that it still had a breath, I quickly took it home to take care of it."

"Maybe it's because Xiaojin is very strong, he was really pulled back by me on the verge of life and death, and he recovered his health after taking care of it."

"Since then, we've been living together."

"Is that so?" Xu Ran's face was a little more surprised.

He suddenly remembered that when he first explained the origin of Ziyun to the outside world, that is, Ziyun was a stray cat that he picked up and accidentally awakened into a transcendent creature.

Of course, Ziyun's experience is false, and it actually completed its awakening with the help of the Awakening Stone.

And the young man's pet beast in front of him seems to have awakened unexpectedly.

"And what about its awakening?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.

"This..."Li Tutu touched the golden-bearded mouse, with a thoughtful look on his face, and quickly thought of the details at that time, and slowly spoke, "At that time, I was also the same as now, serving as a guide for the human beast master in the Demon Wood Market. ”

"At that time, I was not a beast master, and I became a guide to make money to subsidize my family, so I only received money in return."

"Then one day, a guest didn't have any money with him, so he gave me an earth-based transcendent resource as compensation." Li Tutu had a little more smile on his face.

"That resource is worth four or five Beastmaster points, which is several times my guide fee, although I don't need resources, but I still agreed."

"At that time, Xiao Jin showed a special preference for that earth-based resource, and I saw that it liked it, so I didn't exchange it for money, but kept it as a toy."

"Later, one day, when I woke up, I found that the resource was eaten by Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin became what it is now."

"I think its awakening should be due to eating that resource, right?" Speaking of this, Li Tutu's tone was also a little more uncertain.

After all, he hadn't really heard of such a situation.

"Have you eaten the resources..."Xu Ran touched his chin.

Ordinary ordinary creatures, if they eat resources containing extraordinary power, there is only one end, and that is to die directly.

Transcendent awakening cannot be such a simple thing.

However, from Li Tutu's description, Xu Ran had some other guesses.

Perhaps, this golden-bearded rat already has some affinity for the extraordinary power of the earth system, so after getting along with that earth resource every day, it has absorbed enough earth power over time and completed its own awakening.

That earth-based resource was the first ration that the golden-bearded rat ate after awakening.

When you think about it, it makes sense.

"As for what Boss Xu said, I treat Xiaojin as a pet..."Li Tutu scratched his head, "Maybe it's because before Xiaojin woke up, I got along with it like this, so I'm a little used to it?" ”

"Squeak~"

At the same time as his words fell, Xiao Jin, who was lying lazily in his arms, suddenly propped up his body and sat up straight, shaking his head at him, his eyes flashing with a humanized light.

"Huh?" A trace of astonishment flashed in Li Tutu's eyes, "Xiaojin, you..."

Through contract induction, Jin clearly expressed his thoughts to him.

It is already a pet beast that can take charge of itself, and it is not a pet that only lies in the palm of Li Tutu's palm every day!

"So that's what you think." Li Tutu's face was a little more embarrassed, "But why didn't you say it before?" ”

"Squeak~"

Xiao Jin gestured a few more times, and then glanced at Xu Ran.

Li Tutu understood.

Because they have always gotten along like this, Xiao Jin doesn't know how to speak.

Now that Boss Xu's inquiry has put the question on the surface, Xiao Jin bravely expressed his thoughts.

From the moment when Jin awakened to the Golden Bearded Rat, he did not train it in any pet skills, nor did he use the skills of the Golden Bearded Rat, and still kept it as a pet who couldn't do anything, and let it accompany him.

This way of getting along is not what Xiaojin wants!

"I see." Li Tutu nodded, his face a little more abrupt, "Since that's the case, then I will treat you as a contractual partner next!" ”

"Squeak~"

The golden-whiskered rat nodded in satisfaction, stood up from the palm of Li Tutu's hand, climbed lightly along his arm, and soon stood on Li Tutu's shoulder, rubbed Li Tutu's face, and then looked left and right with a serious face, as if to let off wind for him.

Seeing that the golden-whiskered rat had changed from his lazy appearance in the past, Li Tutu also realized that his past approach was indeed a little inappropriate.

He glanced at Xu Ran gratefully, "Boss Xu, since that's the case, then we'll leave first." ”

"Walk slowly, welcome to come back next time." Xu Ran smiled and waved at the back of the departing one person and one pet, and then rose up.

The small talk just now has delayed a lot of time, so this morning's business will be here.

Sensing that a figure had entered outside the door, Xu Ran said without looking back, "Hello, the business is closed in the morning, please come back in the afternoon." ”

He was answered by a voice with a little doubt.

"Huh?"

Well? Not human?

Hearing this voice, Xu Ran couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Standing at the door of the store, there is a round head and round head, about 1.5 meters in shape, it looks a little like a honey badger, but it is not as slender as a honey badger, but it looks a little short and fat, and it looks simple.

With just one glance, Xu Ran recognized the other party's race.

Fighting is a pet beast, a fighting badger.

Don't look at this guy's name and appearance are related to Han, his combat power belongs to the top level among the fighting system collar races, and he has four two-star talent skills.

So, this is a wild fighting badger?

After waiting for a while and not waiting for its beast master to appear, Xu Ran subconsciously made this judgment.

He walked quickly to the Han Dou Badger, "Are you here to wash and care for you?" ”

It's not the first time he's received the care of wild transcendent creatures.

Not a big problem!

Hearing Xu Ran's question, Han Dou Badger's small ears moved, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he quickly shook his head.

"Tsk~"

"Isn't it?" Xu Ran's face was a little more surprised, "Then you are here?" ”

As if aware of the difficulty of communicating between itself and the humans in front of it, the Badger did not continue to speak, but looked around and quickly found the price sign on the wall of the foster care store.

Swinging to the price card, Han Dou Badger's eyes swept over one price card after another, and finally fixed on one of them.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the Han Dou Badger slapped on one of the price cards.

[Elite pet animal fostering: 6666/day]

looked at this price card, and then looked at the Han Fighting Badger who was at the elite level, and after a while, Xu Ran spoke in an uncertain voice.

"You want to foster?!"

"Tsk~"

Seeing that Xu Ran finally understood what he meant, Han Dou Badger nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay." Xu Ran rubbed his eyebrows, and the expression on his face gradually became strange.

It's understandable that wild and extraordinary creatures come to wash and care.

But wild transcendent creatures come to foster ... It's a little beyond his comprehension.

Come, translate, what is sending! Raise!

Good and dignified, how could the fighting badger in front of him have such an idea?

"Have you thought about it, the foster care fee in our store is not cheap, you..." Xu Ran was just about to use the price to make the other party think twice, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Dou Badger's crisp and neat movements.

"Smack!"

Han Dou Badger slapped a resource surging with extraordinary energy on the counter and looked at Xu Ran, as if asking if this was enough.

Xu Ran: "..."

Looking at the elite level fighting system extraordinary resources in front of him, which were converted into Beast Master points worth about 70 Beast Master points, Xu Ran had to nod and admit that this was indeed enough.

"Tsk~"

The Han Dou Badger nodded with satisfaction, and then made a slightly hurried sound, as if urging Xu Ran to take it to the foster care area quickly.

Even the money was paid, and Xu Ran could only take over this somewhat special business with tears.

"Follow me." Walking out of the counter, Xu Ran patted the badger's shoulder, signaling it to follow him into the elevator, and then went straight to the second floor.

When the elevator door opens again, what appears in front of the Han Dou Badger is a foster care area with no end in sight.

Looking left and right, there was a look of satisfaction in the eyes of the Han Dou Badger.

It's huge, and although it's a bit desolate, it's still nice to feel the intense transcendent energy!

"Do you have any requirements for a foster care setting?" Xu Ran asked as he took out the center of the adjustment of the foster care area.

"Huh?"

Can you make your own request?

Hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Han Dou Badger.

It thought that the place in front of it was where it was going to live, but it didn't expect that it could be modified.

Case...

The Han Dou Badger threw a few punches on the spot, then rolled on the ground, stood up again, and looked at Xu Ran.

"Tsk~"

That's all I want, human!

"No problem!" Xu Ran nodded.

Although the body language of the Fighting Badger is somewhat abstract, he already understands it after having communicated with many otherworldly creatures.

The opponent wants a place where he can practice boxing, and he also wants a big bed where he can roll over.

After skillfully adjusting the venue and building its own living area according to the habits of the fighting pet beast and the requirements of the Han Fighting Badger itself, Xu Ran clapped his hands in the stunned gaze of the Han Fighting Badger, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare some food for you." ”

Food!

The Han Dou Badger quickly recovered from the shock of the sudden change in the living area just now, and it couldn't help but touch its stomach that had not eaten for half a day, and then wiped the saliva from the corner of its mouth, looking very greedy.

"Tsk~"

Hurry up!

Without letting the badger wait too long, Xu Ran quickly brought out a large food bowl filled with all kinds of food and placed it in front of it.

Smelling the tempting aroma of food, the badger kept sniffling, and finally couldn't help but put his head in front of the food bowl and quickly began to cook.

Seeing that it looked like it was not eating, Xu Ran shook his head and chuckled.

"How long has it been since you've eaten?"
