After deciding how to arrange Song Xuan's tasks, looking at the business card in his hand, Xu Ran remembered one more thing.

Just now, Song Xuan also invited him to go to the other party's pet breeding base first.

And he was really interested.

On the one hand, the field trip can look at the specific situation of the pet animals that need to be washed and cared for.

How many small, how many medium, how many large, how many pet beasts with more than four stars in need of washing, these are all clear at a glance.

On the other hand...

Xu Ran is really a little curious about the pet animal breeding base.

Calculating the time, it had been a while since he had broken through the fourth order.

With the meditation speed of the two meditation acceleration cards superimposed, Xu Ran could already feel that the fifth order was waving towards him from afar.

If nothing else, the time for him to break through should not exceed two months.

Therefore, it is also necessary to put the choice of the fifth favorite on the agenda in advance.

Although the twelfth has not been recovered, and the fourth favorite has not yet been contracted, is this a conflict?

Not at all conflicting, okay.

For the fifth pet, Xu Ran currently has only one request.

That is, it does not coincide with the attributes of the other four little ones.

In this way, only a choice can be made between the five attributes of water, fire, ice, wind, and light.

As for other requirements and directions, Xu Ran did not have them at all.

Looking at the pet beasts in the pet animal breeding base, maybe it can bring him some inspiration.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran quickly made a decision, and during his lunch break at noon today, he took the three little ones to take a look.

Telling the three little ones who were training hard in the training area about their decision through contract induction, Xu Ran walked quickly to the door of the foster care store and shouted at the long line of guests outside the door.

"Next."

——

"Cha?" (Did you hear Xu Ran?) He was going to take us to the pet animal breeding base at noon. ）

The three little ones who had completed the training walked out of the training area almost at the same time, and Cancan leaned over to Ziyun and Xingchen, and lowered his voice to speak.

"Meow~" (Xu Ran also told me, I think he is probably going to find a fifth partner for us?) ）

Ziyun licked his paw calmly, but the occasional flash of nervousness in his eyes betrayed it.

It's no wonder that it thinks so, although the three little ones are not born in the pet animal breeding base, but what the pet animal breeding base does, everyone knows very well.

"Oh~" (I'm worried now about whether the twelfth will become the fifth contract.) ）

The stars hissed, and there was a hint of meaning in their eyes.

Now Xu Ran's fourth contract slot is still empty, and the twelfth has not yet completed the contract, if he meets a suitable fifth partner, it is very likely that the fifth partner will occupy the fourth contract slot.

In this way, it's really hard to say who is the fourth.

"Cha~" (probably not, right?) ）

Cancan scratched his head and couldn't help but mutter.

Ziyun didn't speak, but his gaze at Cancan was a little more strange.

According to the order of priority, Xu Ran's second pet beast should be Cancan.

It's just that Cancan was still an egg at that time and couldn't make a contract, so the second favorite of Xu Ran's contract was Xingchen.

In a sense, Xingchen's worries could really come true.

The three little ones are looking forward to the fifth new partner, but also worried and missing the twelfth who is far away in the 97th Beast Domain.

Soon, they appeared in the storefront together.

As soon as he arrived at the storefront, Xu Ran gave a violent shudder to a beast, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking?" I'm just going to check it out, and I don't have to find the fifth favorite right away. ”

"What's more, the fourth contract position is twelve, and even if a suitable fifth partner is really found, this decision will not change."

Although he hadn't heard the communication between the three little ones with his own ears, through the contract induction, Xu Ran had clearly felt their thoughts.

"Meow~" (I was wrong~)

Ziyun embarrassedly touched the place where Xu Ran knocked his head just now.

The first to guess that Xu Ran was looking for the fifth pet was it.

"Sigh~" (I also have something wrong.) ）

The stars hissed, also a little embarrassed.

It is speculated that Xu Ran will contract the fifth pet first, and that is it.

"Okay, this time we just went to see what the pet breeding base looks like, and do a field trip, and the other party is also our guest." Xu Ran simply told Song Xuan's request to the three little ones, "In short, watching the pet beast is just incidental." ”

The three little ones nodded suddenly.

So that's what happened!

The misunderstanding was resolved, Xu Ran picked up Ziyun and Cancan, turned over and sat on Xingchen's back, and quickly set off from the store.

The green sprout pet beast breeding base is not lonely and unknown in Minghui City.

After briefly asking a few passers-by, Xu Ran quickly found its specific location and followed the navigation to arrive quickly.

Looking at the huge base, with the words "Green Sprout Pet Beast Breeding Base" written on it, and the signboard embellished with cyan sprout patterns hung high, Xu Ran nodded slightly.

It looks pretty good.

At the entrance gate of the base, there are constantly beast masters entering, some of them look very young, and they are accompanied by their parents, their faces are full of excitement, probably they have not yet contracted pet beasts, and they are about to contract the first pet of the preparatory beast masters.

With so many people entering the base, the business of the Green Sprout Pet Beast Breeding Base should not be bad.

But when Xu Ran saw the situation at the exit gate on the other side of the base, he shook his head slightly.

None of the people who walked out of the base followed the pet beasts.

In such a situation, it is probably because there are some problems in the operation of the green sprout pet breeding base.

With no intention of pointing fingers at other people's business, Xu Ran's trip was only to investigate the actual situation of pet animals in the breeding base.

So after just a brief observation, Xu Ran walked to the gate of the entrance, stood at the back of the line, and waited in line to enter.

The three little ones gathered their breath one by one, followed closely behind, and looked around curiously.

Obviously, this is the first time for them.

In front of Xu Ran, there was a father and son lined up, and the communication between the two quickly attracted Xu Ran's attention.

"Dad, my classmate said that Qingya's pet beasts are a little abnormal, do we have to come here to choose pet beasts?"

"Shop around, Qingya is also our old pet animal breeding base in Minghui City, let's take a look first, if it really doesn't work, I'll take you to other pet animal breeding bases to have a look."

"Okay then, let's get it." The boy nodded reluctantly, and it seemed that there was little hope for the trip.

Hearing the words of the two clearly in the back, Xu Ran touched his chin, and his face was a little more curious.

The pet beast of the green shoots... Not quite normal?

What kind of abnormal law is it?

After thinking about it, he stretched out a hand and patted the shoulder of the boy in front of him, and then asked with a smile, "Little brother, it's the first time I've come here, can you tell me what's wrong with Qingya's pet beasts?" ”

"That's a lot to say." The boy's expression was a little speechless, "The green sprouts of the smoke wave fish will climb trees collectively, the flame pigs like to take a bath, the stone monsters will dismantle the house every now and then, the small electric bell will discharge everywhere, and..."

"That's it! Stop it. The boy wanted to continue, but his father stopped him and patted the boy on the shoulder, and the boy's father smiled apologetically at Xu Ran, "I'm sorry, Tong Yan Wuji, Qingya is not so bad." ”

"However, after the original manager of Qingya passed away two years ago, and his granddaughter took over as the manager, Qingya did undergo some changes."

Xu Ran nodded slightly, touched his chin, and showed a thoughtful look.

The smoke wave fish is a kind of water pet animal.

The smoke wave fish climbs the tree, which does sound bizarre.

But...

Xu Ran has a deeper understanding of many pet beasts than ordinary people, and he knows that the smoke wave fish has a special characteristic.

They prefer high places.

The Flame Heart Pig is a kind of fire pet beast.

As we all know, fire pet beasts have a natural aversion to contact with water, and are insensitive to the behavior of bathing for a long time.

But... The Flame Pig is different.

Although this race has flesh and blood, the heart is almost elemental, in the form of flames.

This gives it an extremely high body temperature.

This internal temperature radiation to the outside of the body will make the epidermis of the flame pig in a state of overheating, this overheating state will not affect its health, but will make the personality of the flame pig change to a certain extent.

In an overheated state, the strength of the Flame Heart Pig will be improved to a certain extent, but the personality will become more restless and lack composure.

Many people may think that this is a character flaw of the Flame Heart Pig itself, but its overheating state can actually be suppressed by a very simple physical cooling method.

That's right, it's a bath.

In addition, the abnormal behavior of the stone monster and the little electric bell mentioned by the boy just now also has its inherent logic and necessity in Xu Ran's eyes.

In other words, these behaviors that seem abnormal in the eyes of outsiders are actually normal.

The boy's words not only did not make Xu Ran's impression of the Qingya base lower, but made him a little more curious about the interior.

The lady Song Xuan who came in the morning really knows the habits of pet beasts so well?

Or is it something else?

didn't let Xu Ran wait too long, while he was talking to the father and son in front, the team in front had already entered the base one after another, and it was his turn.

Entering the interior of the base, what catches your eye is a vacant lot and the most central road sign of the open space, and there is a shelf next to the road sign, and a guide map is placed on the shelf, which can be used by yourself to understand the internal division of the green sprout pet animal breeding base.

All of this looks a bit like a zoo in a previous life.

Xu Ran stepped forward and took a guide map, opened it and looked at it twice, and quickly confirmed.

It's not like, it's almost exactly the same.

In addition to the fact that the animals in the park have become pet animals, you can choose to pay after you take them away, and the breeding base is not much different from the zoo.

"Welcome to the Green Sprout Pet Animal Breeding Base, I hope you can find a partner worthy of lifelong companionship here, I wish you a happy life!"

The familiar voice reached Xu Ran's ears through the loudspeaker, Xu Ran looked left and right, and soon saw a shadow holding the amplification equipment.

As if sensing Xu Ran's gaze, Song Xuan looked in Xu Ran's direction, and a look of surprise and surprise appeared on Xu Ran's face after seeing it clearly.

She handed over the amplification equipment in her hand to another staff member on the side, and after a few brief explanations, she quickly ran to Xu Ran.

"Boss Xu, why didn't you tell me when you came?"

"Just take a casual look, it's not good to bother you." Xu Ran smiled politely.

"Where is this, I'll take it to see, I'm most familiar with it here." Song Xuan smiled, took the guide map in Xu Ran's hand, and put it back on the shelf just now.

Xu Ran: "..."

"Please go this way." Song Xuan gestured to Xu Ran, and then walked towards the nearest passage, "This is the living area of the wind pet beasts, and there are four wind pet beasts to choose from, a total of 29. ”

Xu Ran nodded and followed Song Xuan to the passage.

As soon as he walked into the passage, a petite and agile pet beast quickly pounced towards the two, and then jumped lightly and landed in Song Xuan's arms.

Only then did Xu Ran see clearly that it was a blue-spotted cat of the wind system.

The blue-spotted cat was not in good condition, with several visible wounds on its body, and although it was in the process of healing and appeared to be receiving good treatment, it was not yet fully recovered.

"The Blue-spotted cat is one of the four wind races in your base?" Xu Ran asked casually.

"No, it's not." Song Xuan shook his head, "The four wind races in our pet beast breeding base are the Wind Breaking Eagle, the Wind God Deer, the Cang Fei Dragon, and the Cloud Crossing Kite, this blue-spotted cat only occasionally goes to play inside, after all, the environment inside is very friendly to the wind system. ”

"This poor little guy has just come to the base, and I usually take care of it personally." Song Xuan touched its head with pity, "Those four races are very easy to get along with and won't bully it." ”

"Is that so..."Xu Ran nodded slightly.

He knew all the four races that Song Xuan mentioned.

The four races are all top-level dominating races born with four two-star skills, and this situation is normal in a second-level powerhouse.

After listening to Song Xuan's words, he became more interested in the blue-spotted cat in Song Xuan's arms, "Does this little guy also need to be washed?" ”

"It's not healed yet, I'm not sure if it can..."

"Yes." Xu Ran replied in the affirmative, "Not only that, but adding some resources to help heal the wound during the washing and care process can also speed up its healing." ”

"Then let's wash and care together!" Song Xuan spoke without hesitation.

And the blue-spotted cat also understood the words of the two, and poked out its head and meowed at Xu Ran to express its gratitude.

"So, why did this blue-spotted cat get hurt?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask curiously.

From Song Xuan's words, he could deduce that the injury of the blue-spotted cat was definitely not caused by Song Xuan.

"Is this..."Song Xuan's voice paused, and there was a little more dissatisfaction in his eyes, "It's the Fengyun pet beast breeding base next door." ”

"This blue-spotted cat was accidentally found by me at their base."

“… Yes? Xu Ran blinked, "You open a breeding base, do you still need to buy pet animals from other breeding bases?" ”

"That's not the case..."Song Xuan shook his head, "Fengyun Base, there is a group of Gale Ape, in order to cultivate the wildness of Gale Ape, they sent this blue-spotted cat into their living area as the target of Gale Ape bullying. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Xu Ran was a little stunned.

"After all, gale apes are expensive, and blue-spotted cats are cheap." Song Xuan spoke meaningfully, with a little more disgust and disdain in his eyes.

Hearing this, Xu Ran's expression became a little unsightly

Gale apes are a relatively aggressive and brutal pet animal race, although they are social creatures, they are not united, and the members of the powerful group take pleasure in oppressing the members of the weaker group.

He also understood the meaning of Song Xuan's words.

Gale apes, who have been bullied by other people of the same race for a long time, will definitely not be able to sell as pet animals, and they will have physical and mental problems.

This is a big loss for the pet breeding base.

If you want to avoid this, then add an existence in the gale ape group that everyone can bully.

In this way, there will be no Gale Ape who will be oppressed and unable to sell.

And the blue-spotted cat became this unlucky guy.

"I couldn't see it, so I bought this blue-spotted cat." Song Xuan's eyes were a little darker, "But presumably, there must be a new victim among the group of gale apes." ”

"This is indeed excessive." Xu Ran said in a deep voice, "Isn't it illegal for the breeding base to do such a thing?" ”

"The association has not made such a requirement, and the Fengyun base is private, and many things can be done by themselves." Song Xuan shook his head slightly, and gently touched the blue-spotted cat in his arms, "Don't talk about this, I'll take you to see the Wind Breaking Eagle first." ”

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded helplessly.

The association can't control it, so he has no qualifications to control it, and he can only condemn the other party from the moral level, which doesn't make much sense.

Following behind Song Xuan, one person and three pets quickly arrived at a steep rock cliff land, although it was an artificial imitation of the terrain, but many details can still show the intentions of the arranger.

Beneath the rock cliff, there were a few people standing sparsely, they were the beast masters who were preparing to select the Wind Breaking Eagle.

Song Xuan gave Xu Ran a look, and then the two quickly blended into the crowd.

Soon, one by one, the bright cyan falcons spread their wings, cut through the sky, and made a sharp sound of breaking wind, and quickly appeared in front of everyone.

That vigorous posture caused everyone to exclaim, and several beast masters lit up, and it seemed that they already had a favorite choice.

It's just that... When these windbreakers flew close to everyone, they no longer maintained their previous flight attitude, but flew like somersaults, flipping and flying in circles in the air, looking like... A dumb eagle that can't find its way.

For a while, the eyes of the beast masters who were still about to make a choice dimmed, and there were a few laughs from the crowd, and they quickly turned around and left in disappointment one by one.

Song Xuan's smile was a little more helpless, "It's like this again." ”

She was about to turn her head to explain the current situation to Xu Ran, but found that Xu Ran did not laugh at the seemingly stupid behavior of these Wind Breaker Eagles, but looked quite surprised.

"Boss Xu, who are you?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm obsessed." Xu Ran smiled, "These Wind Breakers are the best I've ever seen, they're really smart. ”

"Uh..." Song Xuan was silent for a moment, and then spoke quietly, "Boss Xu, aren't you really talking back?" ”

"Opposite? Of course not. Xu Ran shook his head without hesitation, "Although the Wind Breaking Eagle is extremely fast and has the ability to break the wind, such a rapid flight will cause a certain burden on their own bodies, especially for fragile ear piercings. ”

"Their tumbling and flying movements at the moment..."Xu Ran pointed to the strange flight maneuvers that the Wind Breaker Eagle was still performing, "Although it looks a little strange, it can effectively eliminate the negative effects of the previous rapid flight." ”

"This is an adjustment of their own body, which can be understood as a kind of washing and care for themselves in a broad sense." Xu Ran smiled, "This kind of skill is a must for wild transcendent creatures. ”

Many of the wild transcendent creatures can't wash themselves, and can only watch their state get worse and worse, so they can only find another way to improve their state, and they will derive some similar special behaviors.

Pet animals have better conditions and can receive professional care, but it is difficult to master such skills.

The wild transcendent creatures in the Demon Wood Domain were also very few of them before, because the Demon Wood Demi-Saints would prepare Xuanmu Dew for them on a regular basis, but they unknowingly lost their need for this.

"It's... Is that so? Xu Ran's words made Song Xuan stunned when he heard it.

Sounds so reasonable.

"You don't know?" Xu Ran glanced at Song Xuan unexpectedly, "I thought you taught them this." ”

"No, it's not." Song Xuan shook his head embarrassedly, "I don't have such an in-depth understanding of pet beasts. ”

"Huh?" Xu Ran raised his eyebrows.

Whether it is what you hear or what you see, it proves that there must be masters in this pet breeding base.

Originally, Xu Ran thought that this person would be Song Xuan, the manager of the base, but now it seems that it is not, and Song Xuan himself does not know what the situation is.

"Let's go to the next one." Xu Ran didn't say anything more, secretly wrote it down in his heart, and then motioned for Song Xuan to go to the next place.

"Okay, the next one is the living area of the Wind God Deer." Song Xuan nodded, continued to lead the way, and led Xu Ran and Sanxiao to a vast grassy and shrub area.

There, a sturdy, brown-furred deer pet animal was grazing quietly with its head down.

Unlike ordinary deer, the large horns on the top of their heads are pale cyan overall, composed entirely of swirling winds, and only a faint silhouette can be seen.

It's like there's two small tornadoes stuck in your head.

In the bushes, several guests can be seen surrounding an anemo deer, as if debating whether to choose them as pet animals.

This tall, fast pet animal can be used as a mount, and the two horns on the top of the head are particularly stylish, and the point is that it is still very strong, so it is very popular.

And at this moment, a long deer roar came from the mouth of the largest of the several wind god deer, echoing throughout the living area.

Without waiting for everyone to react, the wind god deer, who were still standing quietly eating grass and ignoring the observers around them, suddenly shook their heads and walked towards the head deer as if they were crazy.

Soon, they spontaneously lined up in a column and twisted their heads neatly, so that the twin horns of the storm swayed like the paddle of a rowing boat.

Seeing this somewhat neurotic scene, one by one the pickers instantly lost interest in this group of wind god deer.

A wry smile appeared on Song Xuan's face again.

But turning her head again, she saw Xu Ran showing the same expression as just now.

Don't...

"Mr. Xu, do you know the principle of how these wind god deer do this?" Thinking of Xu Ran's analysis just now, Song Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously at this moment.

"If I'm not mistaken." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "This should be the Wind God Deer increasing the condensation of the horns." ”

"In the group of wind deer, the degree of solidification of the double horns is a key factor in determining the choice of the head deer, and the more condensed double horns can also play a greater role."

"Every time the double horn is damaged, it will blur again, so you need to keep re-solidifying to keep yourself at the top of your state."

"I see." Song Xuan showed a sudden look.

"We... Let's go and see the next race. Xu Ran opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but he couldn't help but ask, just continued to look at the next place.

No matter how you look at it, the green sprout pet beast breeding base seems to have the guidance of a master, and with a little skill, you can better keep the pet beast in shape.

But why didn't Song Xuan know anything about it?

"Okay." Song Xuan didn't doubt him, and quickly took Xu Ran and Sanxiao to the next place.

The two races of Cang Fei Long and Du Yun Kite, like the previous two races, are in good condition, but they all have abnormal behavior.

These abnormal behaviors made one after another beast masters give up choosing them.

But every time he saw a similar move, Xu Ran would be shocked once.

He was also more curious about the masters behind the Qingya base.

Finally, after reading all the wind system areas, Xu Ran couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Song, don't you really have the skills of a master to guide these pet beasts in self-maintenance?" ”

"Self-care skills? Nope! Hearing Xu Ran's words, Song Xuan was slightly stunned and kept shaking his head, "Don't talk about this kind of skill, these pet beasts will never be taught anything in my breeding base." ”

"I let them live on their own."

"Huh? Wait. Xu Ran stared, as if he realized the problem, "You let them live on their own?" ”

The pet animal breeding base is not enough to buy pet animals and let them mate and give birth to offspring.

From an early age, these pet beasts will be instilled with the concept of the Beast Master and the relevant guidelines that the pet beast needs to follow, so as to ensure that they are naturally close to humans, willing to take the initiative to contract with the Beast Master, and be able to follow the instructions of the Beast Master.

This is almost a compulsory course for pet animals in the breeding base.

And now, Song Xuan said that Qingya's pet beast would not teach this?

"That's right." Song Xuan nodded naturally, "I don't think pet beasts exist to contract beast masters, so there's no need to instill those things." ”

"So I will only provide them with a place to live and the food they need every day, and leave the things of life to themselves."

"Although this kind of teaching method makes them behave strangely and can't be sold..."Speaking of this, Song Xuan's expression was bitter.

"I see." Xu Ran showed a look of surprise and surprise.

He seems to know who the master behind the Qingya pet beast breeding base is.
