"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

With a series of slightly dull knocks, the door was quickly opened from the inside.

The door was opened by a girl who looked to be about seven or eight years old, dressed in a lovely princess dress, and seemed to be ready to go out and play.

"Daddy!" Seeing Zong Hua outside the door, the girl immediately showed a bright smile on her face, and quickly pounced, but when she saw the somewhat dodging figure behind Zong Hua, her face quickly turned pale.

It was as if the terrible scene of half a year ago flashed in her mind again, and the girl screamed and quickly retreated.

Hearing the sound, Zonghua's wife quickly hugged the girl, patted her back to soothe, and after seeing the Silver Quill King, her face was a little more displeased, "Husband? ”

"I've decided to let King Silverquill move back and we'll live together." Zong Hua walked into the house and said with a serious face, "It's not happy outside, it didn't do anything wrong at the beginning, if it weren't for it, Xiaoru might not be there anymore." ”

"I know, but Xiaoru is scared, the Silverquill King is at home, and she will continue to have nightmares." Zonghua's wife reluctantly spoke.

"Please let my pet beast help you with this." Xu Ran, who followed Zong Hua into the Zong family, smiled and spoke.

"You are?" Only then did Zonghua's wife notice Xu Ran, who followed her husband into the house.

"This is Xu Ran, the owner of the foster care shop that Silverquill King is fostering now." Zong Hua took the initiative to introduce, "He has a pet beast that can help Xiaoru." ”

"If you don't mind, let me try it." Xu Ran touched the twelve who was standing on his shoulder and spoke softly.

"This..."Zong Hua's wife couldn't help but look at Zong Hua, and after the husband and wife glanced at each other, she slowly let go of the daughter in her arms, "It's trouble." ”

Zong Ru, who was sobbing, also heard the conversation of several people, she wiped her tears and slowly stood up.

The next moment, she took the initiative to walk to the sofa, closed her eyes after lying down, and quickly fell asleep.

Twelve pulled an invisible thread away from Zong Ru's body, then flapped his wings and hovered in the air above Zong Ru.

There was a light in its ocean-blue eyes, and as far as the eye could see, Zong Ru's body had undergone a strange change, like a transparent container, and the inside of the container was a gray-black cloud that was constantly swirling.

Twelve, who had seen countless dreams during the evolution ritual, knew very well that the clouds of this color represented that Zong Ru was having a nightmare at the moment.

It connects with each other with a heartbeat, and the next moment it enters Zong Ru's nightmare.

——

"No... Don't, don't come! ”

Zong Ru screamed, spreading her legs and running wildly through the empty and secluded streets, two murderous figures following closely behind her.

One of them had been torn to shreds, and from its broken body, it was vaguely clear that it was a wolf pet beast.

This torn body has not lost the ability to move in Zong Ru's dream at this moment, every cracked part of its body is full of hideous claws, these claws grasp the ground, making it have countless feet, and move quickly.

There are also fierce and terrible howls from mouths full of sharp teeth, which make people feel terrified when they hear it.

Another monster is just as terrifying, if not better.

It was covered in a blur of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs and torn flesh from nowhere, and before it could get close, it seemed to have a terrible smell of blood, making it as terrifying as a devil.

Being chased and killed by such two terrible monsters, Zong Ru's expression was a little distorted because of fear, she kept running away, but she couldn't escape the pursuit of the two monsters behind her.

An atmosphere of despair spreads throughout the dream.

When Twelve appeared in the dream, he saw the scene in front of him.

Although the figure covered in flesh and internal organs was changed to be hideous and terrifying because of the intention, it could probably be seen that it was the Silverquill King.

Looking at Zong Ru's terrified appearance, Twelve sighed slightly, and then waved his wings.

The next moment, the entire dream was like a broken mirror, with cracks appearing, and finally turning into countless bubbles and dissipating.

When the scene dissipated, the surrounding scene quickly changed.

In the empty streets, there are gradually vague figures, and there is also the sound of cries and the smell of various foods mixed together.

The only thing that was clear in the field was Zong Ru and the tall Silverquill King behind her.

This big and one small were walking on the street, and Zong Ru was not afraid of the Silverquill King at this moment, and even smiled and said something to the Silverquill King behind him from time to time.

Twelve watched it all quietly.

It knew that all dreams were based on real memories, and what it saw at this moment was the fragment of real memories corresponding to the nightmare that haunted Zong Ru.

This is the unique power of the Deep Sleeping Bird, and it is the instinct that evolved from the dreams of 10,000 living beings, and was born in the process of evolution.

The memory continued, and a pet beast that looked like a wolfdog walked through the streets and came to Zongru and the Silverquill King.

In the face of this strange pet beast, Zong Ru still didn't have much vigilance.

And the Silver Quoak King behind Zong Ru, his eyes quickly became vigilant.

In the fighting system, it sensed a dangerous aura from the other party.

"Do you want to eat my sugar gourd?" Zong Ru opened his mouth with a smile and took the initiative to hand over the sugar gourd in his hand, "Na, here you go." ”

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The wolf beast's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and it let out a fierce roar, and then it was about to pounce on Zong Ru.

The distance between the two was extremely close, and seeing that Zong Ru was about to be torn apart by the other party, an equally fierce roar came from behind Zong Ru.

The Silverquill King, who had been on guard for a long time, made a move.

The moment the wolf pet beast attacked Zong Ru, the Silverquill King did not hesitate to classify it as an enemy.

And the enemy needs to be deterred by the most powerful force!

It didn't hesitate to block in front of Zong Ru, slapped the other party out of the air, and then rushed up to fight with it.

The battle between the two pet beasts was extremely fierce, and in the end, the Silverquill King killed his opponent at the cost of his own injuries, and he brutally tore the wolf pet beast apart, allowing the opponent's blood to cover its body.

This was the Silverquill King's way of showing his bravery, but it had never expected how terrible such a bloody picture would be for a little girl growing up in a greenhouse.

In panic and confusion, Zongru passed out.

When she woke up again, the impact of the image haunted her day and night.

The fragments of memories came to an abrupt end, and in the dark space, only Zong Ru sat down with his hands on his knees, burying his head deep between his knees.

Twelve fluttered his wings and landed gently on Zong Ru's shoulder.

In the darkness, it let out a clear cry.

"Chirp~"

The next moment, it was dawn.

Colorful castles as beautiful as fairy tales appeared all around, and in front of Zong Ru, the nightmare covered with blood-stained Silverquill King appeared.

With the help of cute creatures, the Silverquill King washed the dirt off his body and put on a beautiful coat.

It danced with those cute little creatures, and finally extended its big and generous hands to Zongru.

In the end, Zong Ru and the Silverquill King sang and danced together in the sound of relaxed and cheerful music.

Three-star skill, Sun Halo level, Flawless Fantasy Domain.

Looking at his masterpiece, Twelve nodded in satisfaction and flapped his wings again, his consciousness already returning to reality.

It chirped at the girl who was lying on the sofa and fell into a dream, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and the next moment Zong Ru, who was immersed in endless deep sleep, was awakened.

The girl sat up a little confused, and soon her eyes became clear.

She looked anxiously to the left and right, as if she was looking for something, and when her eyes touched the Silverquill King hiding behind her father, she quietly froze.

In the next moment, she screamed and jumped up, and under the stunned gaze of Zonghua and his wife, she quickly rushed to the Silverquill King, her small body spread as much as she could, and hugged it tightly.

The Silverquill King froze in place, his eyes very similar to those of a human filled with astonishment and incredulity.

Its body trembled violently, and a pair of large hands carefully touched Zong Ru, and then gently wrapped around her petite body.

Such a warm and familiar hug, it has not been felt for too long.

Zong Hua's wife looked at the big and small hugging each other, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears kept sliding down her face.

Even Zong Hua couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes that were already wet.

Before that incident, Zong Ru was the favorite of the Silverquill King in the family, and this big and small could be said to be inseparable.

But after that incident, everything changed.

Now, seeing a picture that I haven't seen for a long time, the feelings of the two are indescribable.

"Chirp~" (I'm amazing.) ）

The twelve, who had completed the task, flew to Xu Ran's shoulder, his face full of expressions begging for praise.

"Great job." Xu Ran touched Twelve's head and spoke seriously.

"Boss Xu, thank you so much." Zong Hua strode up to Xu Ran, his face full of gratitude, "If you hadn't discovered the problem of the Silver Quill King, I would still be in the dark." ”

"Not only that, but you have brought such wonderful spiritual healing to my daughter so that she will no longer be haunted by nightmares."

"Mr. Zong, you're welcome, this is just a gesture for me." Xu Ran smiled and shook his head, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”

"Why don't you stay for a meal?" Zonghua's wife warmly retained.

"No, it's rare for your family to reunite, so I won't bother at this time." Xu Ran shook his head with a smile, and then took the initiative to leave with the four little ones.

Twelve had already informed him and the other three of the other three little ones about the detailed process, and although he had sent away the only real foster resident in the store, he was only happy for the Silverquill King in his heart.

When one person and four pets returned to the foster care store, the system manager stepped forward quickly.

"Boss, there's a new guest who has fostered the pet animal to us."

Hearing the news, the four little ones glanced at each other and rushed to the foster care area in unison.

Let's see the new residents!

——

Time flies by in the hot operation of the Spark foster care store.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

After half a month of operation, the Spark Foster Care Store has finally gained a firm foothold in Minghui City, and the three somewhat strange system clerks have been recognized by the guests with their excellent services.

The Spark Foster Care Store is no longer a foster care store that is only famous for its cleaning and nursing services, and the foster care and sparring services have received rave reviews after customers try them, and more people know about them.

On this day, a special guest came to the Spark foster care store.

It's so special that the store manager of the system hurriedly went upstairs to find Xu Ran the moment he saw the other party.

"Boss, the person you made my special attention to is here!"

"Coming?" Xu Ran sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words, and woke up from meditation, "Wait, I'll go to receive it in person." ”

He quickly jumped out of bed, dressed up and walked into the store with the manager of the system.

Inside the storefront, a young girl in a long dress stood in place, curiously surveying everything around her.

After hearing the movement, she turned her head with a smile, with a strange look in her eyes, "Boss Xu, grandpa's building has become more beautiful after you modified it." ”

"This is just the icing on the cake for Mr. Zhao's design." Xu Ran smiled modestly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you here to wash and care for the pet beast?" ”

"Hmm." Qiu Yue nodded, "My Xia Yan Demon Fox has soiled itself again, it depends on Boss Xu's cleaning and care skills." ”

"I heard that your store has recruited new employees, so this time for washing?"

"Don't worry, as the earliest old customer of our store, I will be responsible for your cleaning and care." Xu Ran spoke with a serious face.

This is Minghui City's carp, and the spirit of the koi has also affected Shuguang Building No. 1, so it must be entertained well.

"Then I'll be relieved." Qiu Yue smiled with satisfaction.

Although she heard that the cleaning and care level of the staff of Xinghuo Foster Care Store was not weaker than Xu Ran, she was still more willing to believe in Xu Ran's technology.

Summoned the Xia Yan Demon Fox, looking at the dirty appearance of his pet beast, Qiu Yue's eyes were a little expectant.

The last time Xu Ran washed and cared for the Xia Yan Demon Fox, it was at the washing and care exhibition, but due to equipment and other factors, he could not fully exert Xu Ran's ability.

This time, presumably, this will not be the case.

She can finally see what the Xia Yan Demon Fox will look like after Xu Ran's all-out washing.

"Come with me." Xu Ran raised his hands to the Xia Yan Demon Fox, and the Xia Yan Demon Fox had already recognized the human who had given it great pleasure last time.

It jumped onto Xu Ran's hand with graceful steps, and its little face was raised high, full of expectation.

Soon, the two of them entered the washing room together.

As the door of the bathroom closed, outside the bathroom, in a corner of the store, Twelve who had stopped there at some point showed a strange expression.

After initially mastering its new abilities, it has successfully broken through to the rank of general, and the gap with the other three small ones is rapidly narrowing.

And now it has some new habits because of its own ability.

For example, use the illusion ability to hide your existence, hide in a corner of the store, and observe the customers who enter the store.

This allows it to better understand emotions and emotions, and has more material for illusions.

Unexpectedly, today's observation would let it see this scene.

Xu Ran hadn't washed the guests for more than ten days, and he handed over all the tasks to the three employees, and he was in full swing meditating and practicing the rest of the time except for going out of the city every day to investigate the situation.

Now, Xu Ran actually took the initiative to wash and care for a guest?

And a young human woman.

Don't...

The eyes of the twelve big people rolled, and there were already a lot of speculations and reveries in their eyes.

It couldn't help but wonder if the other three little ones knew about this matter.

With this in mind, Twelve flapped his wings and quickly flew towards the training area.

After a while, the four little ones gathered.

Twelve excitedly tells the three little ones about his discovery, and finally fills up in his guesses.

"Chirp~" (In my opinion, Xu Ran is probably in love!) ）

"Cha?" (In love?) ）

Cancan's eyes widened, and then he shook his head violently.

No way! When pigs fly!

The three of them never knew anything like this?

Xingchen on the side had a thoughtful look on his face, and hissed after a moment.

"Huh?" (What is that human, pet beast you just said?) ）

Twelve's attention was all on the beast master, and he didn't pay much attention to the pet beast, and when he heard Xingchen's inquiry, he recalled for a while, and then spoke with some uncertainty.

"Chirp~" (It seems to be a fire-based fox.) ）

"Meow?" (A fire-type fox?) ）

Ziyun let out a low sigh and glanced at each other with Xingchen.

At this moment, the figure of the same woman came to their minds.

If it were her, then it would all make sense.

"Cha?" (What are you doing?) ）

Cancan scratched his head, his expression a little confused.

The last time he washed Qiu Yue's Xia Yan Demon Fox, Ziyun and Xingchen were both helping Xu Ran in the washing room, and only Cancan was guarding the door outside the washing room, so although it knew about the existence of koi from the two little ones, it hadn't reacted at the moment.

"Meow!" (It's a koi, and it's about to be distributed.) ）

Ziyun patted Cancan's head and reminded.

Cancan's eyes widened in surprise suddenly.

I see!

Seeing the three little ones so excited, Twelve also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Things are probably not what it guesses.

Although I don't understand the gold content of koi fish, the words "resource allocation" spoken by Ziyun can be heard clearly.

"Chirp?" (Does that human being have anything to do with resource allocation?) ）

"Cha!" (That person is the koi of Minghui City!) ）

Cancan spoke excitedly, and then began to tell Twelve about the extremely complex relationship between koi fish and resource distribution, and Twelve was stunned when he heard it.

It turns out that Xu Ran has a part of the reward, which needs to be obtained from a mysterious place by drawing, and the koi can make it easier for Xu Ran to draw good rewards, so that the resources allocated to them will be better.

So every time, Xu Ran will keep the drawn rewards, wait until the koi come, use the other party's koi qi to extract all the rewards at once, and then strike while the iron is hot for the next resource allocation.

For a moment, Twelve suddenly thought that when Xu Ran was in Qingzhou City before, every time he allocated resources to the three little ones, it seemed that he had something to do with a human guest named Liu Gu.

"Chirp~" (Is Liu Gu a koi in Qingzhou City?) ）

"Meow!" (That's right.) ）

Ziyun nodded quickly.

Twelve.

In this way, it understands.

In an instant, there was a little more anticipation in its ocean-blue eyes.

This is the first time it has been involved in resource allocation since joining the team!

In the past, it could only watch the three little ones participate, secretly envious.

Now, it's finally its turn!

For resource allocation, Twelve can be said to have been longed for for a long time.

Those magical resource items that Ziyun and Xingchen lent it to make its talent skills rise from two stars to three stars were all obtained through resource allocation.

Even the magical evolution route of the king race can also be obtained in the allocation of resources.

Even, even the Imperial Race Evolution Route has a chance.

"Meow!" (Let's go check it out.) ）

Ziyun couldn't help but urge.

The four little ones hit it off and set off immediately.

When they came to the storefront, they happened to see Xu Ran pushing open the door of the washing room, and behind him, Qiu Yue was holding his beautiful Xia Yan demon fox with a foolish smile.

"You're coming pretty fast." Seeing the four little ones, Xu Ran smiled unexpectedly.

Twelve secretly observes the customers in the store, with his permission, and Twelve knows about the arrival of the koi, and the other three will soon find out as well.

"Meow?" (How?) ）

Ziyun came up to Xu Ran, secretly glanced at Qiu Yue, and then asked in a low voice.

Xu Ran didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Just a simple action made the four little ones more and more excited.

Qiu Yue, who was in the rear, finally recovered from the surprise of the completion of the washing.

"Boss Xu, you washed my Xia Yan demon fox so beautifully, I am reluctant to let it stain itself."

"It's going to get dirty, it's going to get dirty." Xu Ran smiled dumbly, "Pet beasts are not works of art to be appreciated, they are partners who fight with us. ”

"When you get dirty, just come to me to wash it."

"That's right." Qiu Yue smiled, "Then I'll come back next time." ”

She walked quickly to the door of the store, and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, and turned her head to look at Xu Ran, "By the way, Boss Xu, you should be a general-level beast master, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Xu Ran nodded.

"Sure enough, I said I was not mistaken." Qiu Yue smiled, "The Beast Master Association seems to be calling on the general-level beast master to conduct a cross-city exchange battle, I don't know if Boss Xu is interested." ”

“… Cross-city exchange wars? A blank look appeared on Xu Ran's face, "Can you elaborate?" ”

"No problem." Qiu Yue nodded, "Boss Xu should know that there are many second-level important towns in the No. 47 Beast Domain, and the strongest of them is Chuyun City. ”

Not only do I know, but I came from there.

Xu Ran complained silently in his heart, and nodded at the same time, "I know." ”

"I heard that the president of the Beast Master Association in Cloud Capture City wants to unite all the second-level important towns, but the other second-level important towns are unwilling to be commanded by him and lose their autonomy, so after some discussion, there is this exchange battle."

"The results of the exchange battle will directly determine the right to speak in the future alliance of each second-level important town."

"That's all I know." Qiu Yue spread his hands, "Now many beast masters in the city are talking about this." ”

"I guess I know." Xu Ran nodded slightly.

If nothing else, this is essentially the same as the exchange that took place in Cloud City.

That President Fang Canghai, whom he had never seen with his own eyes, seemed to be extremely concerned about merging all the cities.

"Well, there is still a month before the exchange competition starts, and if Boss Xu is interested, you can also sign up for it." Qiu Yue smiled, then waved his hand, "I'm leaving!" ”

"Goodbye." Xu Ran waved goodbye to the other party, and did not let go until Qiu Yue's figure disappeared at the door of the store.

"Meow?" (Are we going to participate?) ）

Ziyun asked curiously.

Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's get the Extermination Thunder first, there is no need to participate in this exchange battle." ”

No matter who gets the right to speak in the alliance formed by humans, he, the one who opened the store, will not have much influence, so there is no need to participate in this kind of thing.

"Let's go back to our room." Xu Ran quickly had a smile on his face, "This time I got a new red item." ”

New Red Items!

In an instant, the eyes of the four little ones lit up, even the twelve.

It already knew that the resources obtained by Xu Ran were color-differentiated, and the evolution route of the monarch race and the three-star skill scrolls it had used in the process of upgrading skills were all purple items.

On top of the purple items, there are even more precious red items.

The Emperor Race Evolution Route is one of the red items.

And now, there are new red items.

What kind of effect will it have?

The faces of the four little ones were full of curiosity.

Seeing that Xu Ran had already raised his feet and started walking towards the rest area, they followed closely without hesitation.

After a while, one person and four pets gathered in the room.

"Next, we started a new round of resource allocation." Xu Ran smiled and pulled out the blackboard and chalk, glanced at the four small ones, and then began to write.

At the bottom of a string of familiar resources, there are two lines of deliberately marked text.

"Imperial Race Evolutionary Route"

"Four-Star Skill Scroll"

Due to the increasing number of branches, the amount of pleasure value has also increased, and in the same half a month, Xu Ran can save more pleasure value.

The number of lottery draws has increased, and with the blessing of koi, red items naturally have more possibilities to be drawn.

This time, the red items drawn are the same as last time, there are two.

In addition to the Imperial Race Evolution Route, which has already been used twice before, there is also a brand new red item.

Although it is brand new, Xu Ran and Si Xiaoduo have both used its low-profile versions, so they are not strangers.

"Four-star skill scroll, you can get a four-star skill at random, or upgrade a skill below four stars to a four-star skill." Xu Ran smiled and said the purpose of the new item, "It just so happens that both resources are what we need now." ”

"Cha!" (That's right!) ）

Cancan nodded heavily, a pair of bright golden eyes seemed to have taken root on the blackboard, and refused to move a single bit.

The third Imperial Race Evolution Route!

It has already missed the first two, and the third one has to go to it, right?

Thinking of this, Cancan quickly turned his head to look at Twelve.

"Chirp~" (for you to give it to you!) ）

Although Twelve also wanted to get a glimpse of the future path, it had just evolved, and it was not urgent at the moment, so he felt the emotions of Cancan, and he happily let it go.

"Cha!" (Great!) ）

Cancan cheered and looked at Xu Ran with blank eyes.
