Hearing the words of the two staff members, Xu Ran had a feeling that he had misheard for a while.

quickly reacted to what the other party was referring to, and only then did he show an angry and funny expression on his face, "Two gentlemen, this is not the case. ”

"Tell me, we're here today to understand the situation." The staff member was quite friendly, took out a pen and paper, and made a record of the action.

"The two of you should also know that if the pet beast is willing to leave with the beast master, I can't stop it at all." Xu Ran spread his hands, "After all, the other party only needs to summon it to take away his pet beast." ”

"I'm just an ordinary foster shop owner, and I don't have the ability to intercept the other party's call."

Hearing this, the two association staff members exchanged a look.

Indeed, this is the biggest suspicion of this matter.

"So what's going on?" Another staff member couldn't help but ask.

"Here's the thing." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, organized the language, and then spoke, "That Han Dou Badger, came to our store by himself at noon yesterday, took out a resource as a foster care fee, and asked to foster himself. ”

Seeing the expressions of the two staff members gradually becoming strange, Xu Ran spread his hands, "This is indeed a bit bizarre, and I was also surprised at the time." ”

"At the time, I thought it was a wild creature."

"If the other party pays, it's the customer." Xu Ran said calmly, "I'm a shopkeeper, it's reasonable to serve my own customers and prepare a suitable foster care environment for it, right?" ”

Hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, the two staff members nodded subconsciously.

There's really nothing wrong with that.

"So what happened to Mr. Cannes complaining that you prevented him from meeting with the pet beast?" The staff at the head stopped the rapid record in his hand and asked.

"Well." The expression on Xu Ran's face was a little more innocent, "Han Dou Badger paid to come to our store for foster care, and that is the resident of this store." ”

"When someone wants to visit a resident of our store, it makes sense for me as the owner to ask if they would like to see it." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "Han Dou Badger doesn't want to see the other party, even if he is his own beast master. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the two staff members from the association became slightly serious.

They glanced at each other, and then the staff who followed them snorted, "What a Cannes city, who promised to treat the Han Dou Badger well in the association, but now he has done such a thing!" ”

Neither of them is stupid, combined with the fact that the Han Fighting Badger cannot be summoned to leave by Cannes, it is clear which of the two sides is more credible.

Therefore, after comparing Kang Cheng and Xu Ran's dictation, they quickly made their own judgment on this matter.

Obviously, Kangcheng did do something unpleasant to the Han Fighting Badger, otherwise the Han Fighting Badger, a pet beast with a good personality, would not have done such a thing.

"A conclusive guarantee?" Hearing the staff member's words, Xu Ran's face couldn't help but be a little more curious, "What's going on?" ”

He originally thought that this incident was just that the beast master named Kangcheng was not good to the Han Fighting Badger, which caused his pet beast to run away from home.

Now it seems that the story is more complicated than imagined.

How could there be the intervention of the Beast Master Association in the contract pet beast?

"It's a little more complicated." When the staff led by him heard Xu Ran's inquiry, he didn't hide it, and there was a little more embarrassed expression on his face, "In short, Kang Cheng is not the original beast master of Han Dou Badger. ”

"The original beast master of the Han Fighting Badger?" Hearing this, the look of surprise on Xu Ran's face became a little stronger.

"Passed away." The staff member who followed spoke in a slightly low voice, "The original beast master of Han Dou Badger, although he is not a staff member of our beast master association, is an extremely enthusiastic and good person. ”

"He has assisted our association many times, but unfortunately in an accident, he died trying to save people."

"This..."Hearing this, Xu Ran's expression couldn't help but become a little serious, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the beast master he had never met.

"That beast master's greatest wish before he left was that his pet beast could be treated well." The staff member's eyes were slightly red, "He's just an Elite Rank Beast Master, and one of the pet beasts also fell together in that accident." ”

"The only thing left is the Fighting Badger."

"Our Beast Master Association attaches great importance to this matter, and we have adopted the Han Dou Badger in the association to find a good enough beast master for it."

"Then how did you find Cannes?" Xu Ran frowned slightly.

That guy isn't a good beast master, is he?

After listening to the story of a beast master on the Han Fighting Badger, he even felt that Kangcheng was not worthy of the contract with the Han Fighting Badger.

"The reasons are complicated." The staff member smiled bitterly, "When Kangcheng was inspected by our Beast Master Association, he performed very well in all aspects. ”

"Moreover, he also has some connections in the Beast Master Association, and many people say good things about him."

"So... This fighting badger, the association finally chose him to entrust. ”

"What about the badger's own opinion?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.

The contract of the pet beast, even if it is an association, can't be forced, right?

"Boss Xu, you run a foster care shop, and you should also know the habits of the Han Fighting Badger." The staff at the head spoke at this moment, "Although this race is very brave in battle, it is a bit silly in ordinary life. ”

"The Fighting Badger also knew the wish of its previous beastmaster, and at that time, its only thought was to fulfill the wish of the other party."

"Immersed in the pain of losing the Beastmaster, the Fighting Badger itself has no problem with the contract."

"This..."Xu Ran was silent for a moment.

He could imagine that when the staff of the association made this decision, they must have hoped that Cannes could soothe the pain of the Han Dou Badger, so that it could feel the love and warmth of the beast master, and get out of the haze and live a happy life again.

It's a pity that it seems to be entrusted to no one.

Until this moment, Xu Ran still didn't know what was going on between the Han Dou Badger and Kang Cheng, but it was obvious that Kang Cheng had not fulfilled his promise when he took the Han Dou Badger from the Beast Master Association.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous, but Boss Xu..."The staff member's voice with red eyes paused slightly, "I wonder if we can go and see the Han Dou Badger?" ”

"Okay, come with me."

This time, Xu Ran didn't say anything like he needed to ask for the opinion of the Han Dou Badger, and happily took the two staff members into the elevator on the second floor.

Soon, an endless foster care area appeared in front of the two staff members.

Gazing at such a vast foster care site, the two staff members quickly saw the only area that had been decorated and groomed.

"That's where the badger lives in our store." Xu Ran pointed to the area where the Han Dou Badger was located and smiled, "It's a pity that the Han Dou Badger is the only foster pet animal in our store for the time being, otherwise it can go to other residents to visit the door or something." ”

"Shhhh How much does it cost to have such a foster care environment? The staff member who was still reddened before couldn't help but gasp, and his depressed mood was temporarily pulled back.

"I noticed just now that the elite level seems to be 6,666 yuan a day." The staff member at the head smiled, "This cost performance, I want to foster my pet beasts." ”

Seeing that the Han Dou Badger lived in such a comfortable environment here, the two staff members actually felt a sense of relief, and even their tones were a little relaxed.

"The store will do its best to entertain any foster pet animals, and the Fighting Badger will naturally be no exception." Xu Ran opened his mouth with a smile, and quickly came to the vicinity of the Han Dou Badger who was lying on his back on the rockery and was sleeping, "Han Dou Badger, wake up quickly." ”

"Huh?"

Han Dou Badger opened his eyes lazily, as if he had only realized the existence of other people around him at this moment, and slowly sat up straight and looked towards Xu Ran.

Immediately afterwards, its gaze was fixed on the staff behind Xu Ran.

"It's me! It's been a long time. The staff member with red eyes walked up to the Han Dou Badger with a bright smile at the moment, "How are you doing now?" ”

"Tsk~"

The Fighting Badger nodded in satisfaction.

With good food and a comfortable environment, it doesn't get much better than this!

"That's good." The staff member seemed to be very familiar with the Han Dou Badger, and at this moment, he climbed up the rockery in two by two and sat next to the Han Dou Badger, "Can you tell me what happened between you and Kangcheng?" ”

As he spoke, the six-pointed starlight array behind the staff member flickered, and in the breeze, a five-pointed star pet beast floating in the air flew out.

Super Pet Beast, Magic Star.

Xu Ran recognized the race of this pet beast at a glance, and then his expression was clear.

This race, one of the few superpower races to have telepathy, has the same abilities as the Velvet Sparrow, and can act as a translator.

"Xu Zhou is the all-rounder of our association, and he has to be involved in the communication with transcendent creatures many times." Standing beside Xu Ran, the staff member at the head smiled.

"I haven't asked for advice yet, what do you call it?" Xu Ran asked while paying attention to the Han Dou Badger's answer.

"Zhou Rong." The staff in charge introduced themselves.

The two did not continue to chat, and their attention was more focused on Xu Zhou and Han Dou Badger.

With the assistance of the magic star, the Han Dou Badger seemed to gradually open his heart, and kept making a "chirping" sound, telling Xu Zhou something.

And although Xu Zhou still had a relieved smile on his face, there was more and more anger in his eyes.

He already knew the specific situation from the Han Dou Badger.

Jumping down from the rockery again, Xu Zhou walked to Zhou Rong's side, and the smile on his face completely converged, "What a Kangcheng." ”

"What the hell did Cannes do?" Xu Ran asked curiously.

He was also quite curious about this.

Although it is said that Cannes was not the original owner of the Fighting Badger.

But what complaining things do you have to do to make the Han Dou Badger run away from home and be unwilling to respond to the call?

"That guy in Cannes, every time he provides resources to the Han Dou Badger, he will keep mentioning the value of these resources, telling the Han Dou Badger how good he is to it, and letting the Han Dou Badger repay it well in the future." Xu Zhou's face was angry.

"This kind of relationship for a long time has made the Han Dou Badger have great psychological pressure."

"It lives with Cannes, and it has to be counted down for a little food to eat, and it's embarrassing to use too many resources for training."

"In the end, the badger felt that he was too bad to choose to leave."

"What?" After listening to the whole story, whether it was Zhou Rong or Xu Ran, there was a look of disdain and anger on their faces.

Isn't this the legendary PUA?

Han Dou Badger had already suffered the grief of the death of the first beast master, and he had to encounter such a harsh criticism when he met the second beast master.

For a while, the two of them were also a little indignant.

"It's no wonder that after the badger came to my foster care store, he ate food for the first time as if he hadn't eaten properly in a long time." Xu Ran opened his mouth in a low voice, looking at the Han Dou Badger's gaze with a little more regret.

"Humph! Let the Han Dou Badger stay by Kangcheng's side, it is better to let the Han Dou Badger stay in Boss Xu's foster care store! Xu Zhou said indignantly, "How can anyone do this as a beast master?" ”

"Obviously, Han Dou Badger cooperated with him to take over a lot of association tasks and earned a lot of money, but he even had to worry about the daily expenses of pet beasts."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hearing Xu Zhou's angry complaint, Zhou Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said quietly, "This is also an idea." ”

"If it is a normal pet beast, the association has no right to forcibly ask the beast master to terminate the contract with the pet beast, but the Han Dou Badger does not belong to this range."

"It was originally entrusted to Cannes by the association, and once it is determined that Cannes has not treated it well, the association has the right to make Cannes give up the Badger."

Speaking of this, Zhou Rong turned his head to look at Xu Ran, "Boss Xu, just leave this matter to us, but if Han Dou Badger really breaks the contract with Kangcheng, can your foster care store continue to foster it?" ”

"Absolutely." Xu Ran spoke without hesitation, "Not only will I continue to foster care, but I will also be free." ”

Xu Ran deeply sympathized with the experience of the Han Fighting Badger, and if it really broke the contract with Cannes and let it live here for free, Xu Ran would also be willing.

"It's free, you don't have to." Zhou Rong smiled slightly, "How can we, the Beast Master Association, take advantage of the citizens?" ”

"Don't worry, the foster care fee of the Han Fighting Badger will be recorded in the account of the Beast Master Association."

"Uh... Then I won't be polite to the association. Xu Ran was dumbfounded, "I hope you can really do this." ”

"I'm still a little sure about that." Zhou Rong took one last look at the Han Dou Badger, and then beckoned to Xu Zhou, "It's time to go, go back to the association to do business." ”

Xu Ran walked quickly in front of the two and led them back to the first floor.

"That..."Looking at the two staff members who were about to walk out of the store, Xu Ran suddenly remembered something, and asked out loud, "I want to ask, do you know where to get a map of the nearby area?" ”

"Maps?" The two of them paused, turned their heads to look at Xu Ran, and then Zhou Rong took the initiative to speak, "Boss Xu, what kind of map do you need?" ”

"The bigger the scope, the better, and the more detailed the content, the better." Xu Ran spoke without hesitation.

He had been thinking of asking the Beast Master Association for a map, comparing it with the paper he got in the Thunder Dragon Stone yesterday, and now there happened to be a staff member of the Beast Master Association, so he could ask about the situation.

"The larger the scope, the better, and the more detailed the content, the better..."Repeating Xu Ran's words, Zhou Rong's expression became a little strange.

This said... How do you feel like you didn't say it?

"I just have a detailed map of the entire Demon Wood Domain here." After thinking about it, Zhou Rong took out a folded map from his arms and handed it to Xu Ran, "I will take it as an apology for this door-to-door disturbance and give it to Boss Xu." ”

"Hope it helps."

"That's so polite, thank you, Mr. Zhou Rong!" Xu Ran's eyes lit up, he took it carefully, and after seeing the two leave, he quickly opened it.

A map of the entire Demon Wood Domain, including Cloud Picking City, appeared in front of Xu Ran's eyes, and the content was quite detailed, and even the habitat area of wild and transcendent creatures was carefully divided.

If the location on the piece of paper obtained yesterday was really within the scope of the Demon Wood Domain, Xu Ran would definitely be able to find it!

Excited in his heart, Xu Ran carefully compared the lines he had deeply remembered in his mind with the map in his hand.

But soon, Xu Ran's excited look turned to dazed and lost.

No.

He compared the entire map back and forth three times, but he couldn't find a single area that could match the paper of the suspected extermination mine map from last night.

Don't... Wrong guess?

Xu Ran touched his chin, and his face was a little more confused.

Either that the paper is not a map, but something else.

Either that the piece of paper is indeed a map, but the corresponding location is not nearby.

Either way, it meant that the Extinction Mine Trail was getting farther and farther away from them.

It became difficult to find it.

Thinking of the three little ones who were training at the moment, Xu Ran sighed slightly in his heart.

Forget it, let's not tell them about this matter yet, especially Ziyun.

This little guy didn't sleep all night last night because he found the clue to the extermination thunder.

Silently put away the map and placed it on the innermost side of the counter drawer, Xu Ran sorted out his mood and reopened the door of the store.

With the first customer walking in, the opening of the Spark foster care store arrived late.

Under the hot business, time is always short,

By the time Xu Ran came back to his senses, it was already afternoon.

The three little ones who had completed the training each lazily stayed in the storefront on the first floor, accompanying Xu Ran.

After satisfying his curiosity to explore the Land of Thunder, Cancan, the most restless of the three, seemed to have temporarily subsided a lot.

"Welcome light..."

Hearing the movement coming from outside the door, Xu Ran, who had just sent off a guest, and only had time to stretch his waist, turned his head to look outside the door, and then his voice paused, and there was a little more smile on his face, "Senior, you are here." ”

Standing at the door, there were two hairballs, one large and one small.

The larger one is ten meters tall, and the huge body is a little reluctant to even enter the expanded storefront, while the smaller one is only about one meter high.

This one is one big and one is small, and the small one is like a hairball falling from a big hairball.

It's the Sandman and its father, the guardian of the Thunderlands.

This big and small one is invited by Xu Ran to experience washing.

"Luke~"

(I'm coming.) ）

The Guardian nodded, looking at Xu Ran with a hint of weirdness in his gaze.

After entering the cave where the Thunder God Silent Dragon fell yesterday, it vaguely felt that the Thunder Dragon Stone that Xu Ran and the three little ones took away was not as simple as it thought.

However, the words have been spoken, and they can only be sent.

"Welcome, welcome." Xu Ran nodded with a smile and came to a system appraisal.

[Race name: Dream Apostle.]

Attribute: Super system

Growth Rank: King Rank

Body type: Extra-large

Washing and care needs: ★★★★ ☆

Comments: It's a big hairball with a dream in its heart, but the cleanliness of the body is just as important to it. 】

Dream Apostle...

Is this the Guardian's racial name?

Xu Ran glanced at the big hair ball in front of him, and the smile on his face became a little stronger.

"Senior, please come with me." After speaking, Xu Ran motioned to the three little ones to guard the store, and then walked towards the washing room behind him.

The Sandman remained in the storefront, looking curiously to the left and right, and then the light purple eyes looked at the three little ones who were also staring at it.

"Lubi?"

In the washing room, Xu Ran quickly completed a series of preparations before washing and care.

Looking at the Dream Chaser Apostle, who had reclined quietly but was still extremely large, he took a deep breath and began to carefully divide his long, fine hairs.

After separating the Dream Apostle's hair into dozens of different areas, Xu Ran picked up the shower head and carefully sprinkled it on one of the areas, wetting it.

The warm water flowed down the gaps in the Dream Apostle's hair, passing through the Dream Apostle's hidden skin under the hair.

A strange itch and pleasure made the Dream Chaser Apostle, who was already looking forward to it, couldn't help but twist his body slightly.

"Luke~"

(Your care is comfortable.) ）

The deep voice of the Dream Chaser echoed in the bathroom.

"It's good that the seniors are satisfied." Xu Ran smiled, quickly wet the hair in this part of the area in front of him thoroughly, and then applied shampoo and carefully rubbed it with the palm of his hand.

With Xu Ran's just right amount of force, the itch was also amplified, making the comfort in the eyes of the Dream Chaser Apostle more and more intense.

Then, its purple-black eyes slowly closed, and it slept comfortably, a slight snoring sound from its mouth and nose that echoed in the bathroom.

Xu Ran, who was washing and nursing, stagnated slightly, and his face was a little more strange.

The Dream Chaser is an evolution of the Sandman.

These two are really...

It's amazingly synchronized and unique.

Sighing slightly, Xu Ran raised his head and looked at the huge body of the Dream Chaser Apostle.

If nothing else, the other party should be able to sleep for a few hours.

——

"Luke~"

Feeling the comfort around him gradually fade, the Dream Chaser awoke from his slumber and slowly sat up, a look of surprise in his eyes.

It used to feel uncomfortable from time to time, but at this moment, its body is more comfortable than ever, and even its strength is more comfortable than before.

Glancing at the huge mirror on the side of the washing room, the surprise in the eyes of the Dream Chaser Apostle became a little more intense.

This is... Myself?

In the mirror, its body has become burly, and the long hairs that were originally fluffy but exploded have become extraordinarily supple at the moment, clinging to the body, each one shining with brilliance.

At first glance, it fell in love with its new look.

"Senpai, how do you feel?"

Xu Ran had a little tiredness on his face, but his smile was quite bright.

In order to repay the thunder dragon stone that the other party gave to Ziyun, he put a lot of effort into the washing and care just now.

"Luke~"

(I love it.) ）

The Dream Chaser nodded without hesitation, and then followed Xu Ran out of the washing room.

Outside the bathroom, the Sanddemon group has already mingled with the three little ones, and they are sitting around and muttering something at the moment, when they hear the movement from the washing room, they all look over here, and after seeing the new appearance of the Dream Chasing Apostle, they all showed surprise.

"Lubi!"

The most surprising thing is naturally the Sandman group who get along with the Dream Apostle day and night.

It staggered over to the Dream Apostle and ran around the Dream Apostle's muscular body on two short legs, a look of surprise on its face.

"Lubi!"

The two flexible tentacles on the top of its head also quickly rhythmized at this moment, expressing the joy in its heart.

"Looks like the Sandman group likes it too." Xu Ran smiled.

And the purple-black eyes of the Dream Chasing Apostle also had a little more loving smile.

"Luke~"

(It's time for me to leave.) ）

The Dream Chaser spoke softly.

As much as it would love to stay here, it has been out of the Guardian for a long time and needs to go back as soon as possible.

"Seniors walk slowly... Wait a minute. Xu Ran suddenly remembered something, and when he saw that the Dream Chaser Apostle was about to leave, he hurriedly called out to the other party, "Do seniors know the reason for the fall of the Thunder God Silent Dragon?" ”

Suddenly, he thought of the clues that he hadn't found today when he compared the map of the Demon Wood Domain.

As the guardian of the corpse of the Thunder God Silent Dragon, the Dream Chaser Apostle should know a lot about the Thunder God Silent Dragon, and perhaps, it will know something.

And what it knows may be able to play a certain auxiliary role in the clues it found yesterday.

"Woooo

(The reason for the fall of the Thor-Silent Dragon...) ）

A hint of strangeness flashed in the Dream Chaser's eyes, and he glanced at Xu Ran.

So, they really found something from that special Brontosaurus?

While crying and laughing in his heart, the Dream Apostle slowly spoke with an expression as if he had no intention.

"Luke~"

(I don't know what the reason for the fall of the Thor-Silent Dragon, who had reached the end of its life when it found me.) ）

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

Even the Dream Chaser didn't know about it, and the chances of finding the Extinction Thunderbolt were even lower.

"Luke~"

(However, before the fall of the Thunder God Silent Dragon, he once let out a long sigh of regret in the southwest direction, which may have something to do with the reason for its fall.) ）

"Huh?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up, "Regretful sigh? ”

The Dream Chaser nodded, then carried the Sanddemon group on his shoulders, beckoned to Xu Ran, and his huge body turned to the door, quickly disappearing.

In the store, Xu Ran's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Southwest...

Could this be the direction in which the extermination lightning lead is located?

"Senior... Huh? ”

Raising his head suddenly, Xu Ran, who still wanted to ask something, reacted that the Dream Chaser Apostle had already left.
