"The Beast Master's Guild... It should be here. ”

Following the guidance all the way, one person and five pets soon arrived at the Xuanxing City Beast Master Association.

Unfamiliar architectural style, familiar grandeur.

After a few glances outside the door, Xu Ran quickly entered it with five small ones.

After going to the new city many times, Xu Ran found the corresponding window familiarly, completed the unfreezing of the account, and asked while receiving his beast master badge from the staff.

"Excuse me, where can I get the Starlight Badge?"

"With your strength, sir, you can directly pass the strength test to obtain the Starlight Badge." The staff looked at Xu Ran's eyes full of politeness and respect.

After all, the king-level beast master is already the mainstay of the second-level important town.

"The window is over there, you can see it when you go out and turn left."

"Thank you." Xu Ran nodded slightly in thanks, then turned to leave.

When Xu Ran left, the staff member still had a bit of amazement on his face, "This is too young, it's the first time I've seen such a young king-level beast master, I have to start meditating from my mother's womb, right?" ”

"Maybe it's just looking young?" The colleague next to him joked with a smile, "Some pet beasts have the ability to help the beast master maintain their appearance or change their appearance." ”

"Is that so?" the staff member snapped, "but there are some possibilities." ”

"Anyway, this is a king-level senior, don't talk about it behind your back." Another colleague frowned slightly, and his voice was a little solemn, "Xiao Li, according to the regulations, king-level beast masters from other places need to report when they enter Xuanxing City. ”

"Thank you Brother Liu for reminding me, I'll report it now." The staff member who received Xu Ran patted his head, didn't dare to talk about it casually, and quickly reported it.

On the other side, Xu Ran, who didn't know that he had been mistaken for an old monster with easy appearance, came to the Starlight Badge application window.

He directly took out his Beastmaster badge and explained his intentions.

"Hello, I want to pass the strength test and get the Starlight Badge."

"Strength test?" The staff glanced at the pet beast behind Xu Ran.

One... Two... Three... Four... Five...

Five pet beasts, king-level?!

At this moment, the staff didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up, "Please come here." ”

Soon, he took Xu Ran to a closed room and began to explain the rules of the test.

"This room allows for a precise test of strength." The staff paused, "You can let the pet beasts shoot together, or you can shoot alone, as long as the total strength reaches the standard, you can get the Starlight Badge." ”

"The standard is probably equivalent to the full strength of an ordinary general-level beast master, and this is also the minimum strength that you will not easily encounter danger when you go out of the city."

"Only by attaining such strength can the association be assured of awarding badges."

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded in understanding, then pressed the long knife behind his back with one hand, and walked to the center of the room step by step.

Staff: "??? ”

Looking at the five pet beasts that were left aside, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

Is there anything unclear about what he just said?

How...

Before the staff could figure it out, a clear knife sound echoed in the room.

By the time the staff reacted, Xu Ran had already wrapped the long knife in silk cloth again, fixed it on his back, and began to walk back.

And the energy target in the air has been directly split in two.

Looking at the four big green characters of [Test Passed] that appeared on the light curtain, the staff opened their mouths, and a humane blankness appeared on their faces.

Person... Humanoid beasts?!

"Looks like it's passed." Xu Ran smiled.

He also had the idea of trying it out on the fly.

Each level of Contract Power brings not only additional contract slots, but also two enhancements that are important to the Beastmaster.

The first is the depth of contract sensing.

As the contract induction gradually deepens, the tacit understanding between the beast master and the pet beast will also increase rapidly.

The second is the feedback of the power of the contract.

Under the condition that the strength of the pet beast remains the same, the power level of the contract will increase, and the strength that the beast master can feedback from the pet beast will also increase.

But under normal circumstances, the increase in the power level of the contract corresponds to the increase in the growth level of the pet beast, in addition, the new pet beast with more contract slots can also have new power feedback.

This means that the strength of the Beast Master will increase with the increase of the power level of the contract, and the speed will be faster than that of the pet beast.

When it comes to the power of the fifth-order contract, the power of feedback is close to 20% of the pet beast's own strength, which is quite a considerable proportion.

If the five pet beasts break through to the king level at the same time, the strength of the beast master itself will also be able to reach the level of the king level.

Therefore, the King-level Beast Master is a special stage.

The weak shortcomings of the beast master themselves will gradually disappear at this stage.

Today's Xu Ran is at this stage.

Although there are still three pet beasts that have not reached the king level, and the firefly feedback that is still in the elite level is even better than nothing, but because of the strength of Ziyun and Cancan, his strength has also touched the threshold of the king level.

Therefore, Xu Ran wanted to try, with his own strength, whether he could pass this test.

Now, it seems that it is possible.

"yes, passed..."

The staff member opened his mouth blankly.

He had assisted many beast masters in testing, but this was the first time that he had dropped his pet beast on his own.

So much so that when Xu Ran reminded him, he remembered to award the badge.

Not long after, Xu Ran, who was playing with a badge with a star pattern, walked out of the Beastmaster Association with five small ones.

Now, he has only one goal left.

It's about finding a place to stay tonight.

If you can, it's best to solve the problem of the store directly.

However, it went more smoothly than he thought.

Because he didn't take a few steps after walking out of the Beast Master Association, Xu Ran saw an acquaintance.

"Xu... Boss Xu?! Liu Fengyun looked at Xu Ran in astonishment, his face full of disbelief, "I thought I was wrong!" It's really you! ”

"How did you get to Xuanxing City?"

"Boss Liu, long time no see." Xu Ran's face was also full of surprise, "I thought you were still in Demon Wood City?" ”

"Demon Wood City is getting better and better now, and many of the bosses we met at the beginning have chosen to stay and develop." Liu Fengyun smiled, "But I still like Xuanxing City, so I'm back." ”

"Let's talk about you, how did you get to Xuanxing City?" Liu Fengyun's eyes were a little more teasing, "You won't be here to open a branch, right?" ”

Suddenly there was silence.

Realizing something from Xu Ran's strange expression, the ridicule on Liu Fengyun's face gradually turned into consternation, "You really want to come to Xuanxing City to open a branch?!" ”

"Indeed, I just arrived today." Xu Ran smiled, "It seems that I will have to take care of it in the future." ”

"You..." Liu Fengyun's expression became exciting.

He had long regarded Xu Ran as a friend, and he was naturally happy when his friend came to Xuanxing City to open a store, but when such a perverted guy came, his own foster care store was not so good.

In Demon Wood City, he saw how strong Xu Ran's washing and care skills were, and Xinghuo Foster Care Store was not only strong in cleaning and care skills, but also in foster care and sparring.

Such a guy is simply a catfish thrown into a pond.

"That's it." Sighing heavily, Liu Fengyun waved his hand, "Have you chosen your store, do you need my help?" ”

"In this Xuanxing City, I can still speak."

"I haven't chosen it yet, please ask Boss Liu to recommend a good store for sale." Xu Ran smiled, and was not polite to Liu Fengyun.

"Alright, we... Oh no. Liu Fengyun patted his head, "I was so surprised to see you, I forgot that there was anything else to do." ”

"I'm going to go to the Beast Master Association, and I'll take you to see the store when I'm done?"

"I just came out of there, come along?" Xu Ran smiled, "If there's anything I can do to help, you're welcome." ”

Now that I have found Liu Fengyun, a reliable guide, the problem of the store is half solved, and it is idle to be idle, so it is better to go and see it with Liu Fengyun.

"Okay." Liu Fengyun thought about it, there was nothing to hide about his own affairs, and nodded briskly.

The two returned to the Beast Master Guild side by side, and they chatted casually on the way.

Through Liu Fengyun, Xu Ran knew some of the current situation in Demon Wood City.

After the smooth evolution of the Motian Xuanmu, the scope of the Demon Wood Domain continued to expand outward, and the Demon Wood City, which had become a ruin before, also took advantage of the situation and stood up, expanding its scale, and now the scale of the city alone is even larger than that of Cloud Picking City.

Human beast masters continue to come and migrate to the Demon Wood City, which has also injected new blood into the Demon Wood City, which is waiting to be rebuilt.

However, the cleaning and care service of the Foster Care Store in Demon Wood City is not very easy to do.

Because after the successful evolution, the Demon Wood Demi-Saint began to give free gifts to the creatures in the Demon Wood Domain with treasures that could wash their bodies and improve their state.

It's not Xuanmu Lu, but an upgraded version of Xuanmu Lu, Holy Spirit Lu.

In this way, foster care stores can only transform in the direction of foster care, sparring, etc.

Xu Ran knew this before.

The cleaning and care income of the Spark Foster Care Store in Demon Wood City continued to decline, and the income of the other two services continued to increase, and he could see it clearly in the background of the system, and the system manager of Demon Wood City also called him specifically for this matter to explain the reason.

After chatting about the situation in Demon Wood City, it was inevitable that the two talked about the special features of Xuanxing City.

"Boss Xu, our Fengyun foster care store is much stronger than when it was in Demon Wood City in Xuanxing City." Liu Fengyun said with a smile, "The main reason is the star stone. ”

"A lot of our special equipment can only be used by star stone charging, and it can't be used in Demon Wood City, and the strength shown is also discounted."

"Although your Spark Foster Care Store is very strong, it is not so easy to beat us here." Liu Fengyun's face was a little confident.

"When my store is settled, I will definitely pay a visit." Xu Ran smiled.

He was also curious about the Starstone's charging equipment.

"It's a deal." Liu Fengyun nodded, and then his voice changed, "We're here." ”

As they spoke, the two of them had returned to the Beast Master Association.

This time, Liu Fengyun went straight into a certain place in the association, and Xu Ran followed silently behind him, without saying a word.

A short time later, the two came to a conference room.

In the conference room, a sturdy man is holding a tablet in his hand and playing back a video.

As Xu Ran and the two entered, the big man raised his head, but soon his eyes swept over Liu Fengyun and looked at Xu Ran who was following behind, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Vice President Qin, can the Association give me a result of the last time?"

Sitting down in the conference room, Liu Fengyun looked at the big man without humility or arrogance, "According to Article 8 of the Xuanxing City Public Security Law, the Beast Master needs to take full responsibility and compensate for all losses twice as much as he needs to make trouble for ordinary people. ”

"Du Long's behavior has obviously constituted a trouble-seeking."

"After four days, why has the association not given a result?"

"Hiss~" Vice President Qin rubbed his eyebrows, and a somewhat helpless look appeared on his face, "This matter... It's a bit tricky. ”

"Now, I'll tell you about it." Vice President Qin sighed, "This Du Long is not an ordinary person, he has a background. ”

"So in this matter, if you want to have a fair result, there is no small resistance."

"Is the Beast Master Association going to sit idly by?" Liu Fengyun's brows furrowed, and his voice was a little deeper.

"It's not... Of course, it will not be left alone. Vice President Qin smiled bitterly, "However, it may take a little time..."

Xu Ran, who was standing behind Liu Fengyun, didn't say a word, but he was also quietly observing Vice President Qin.

Liu Fengyun's matter, he had already told Xu Ran briefly on the way.

The situation is not complicated.

The beast master named Du Long went to the Fengyun foster care store to wash and care for the pet beast, and it was not Liu Fengyun who received him, but another washer hired.

This nurse is a woman, and her appearance is very good, in the process of washing and care, Du Long is lustful, and verbally molested the nurse, and has a tendency to put it into action, which was sternly rejected by the nurse.

Liu Fengyun, who rushed to hear the news, did not hesitate to invite Du Long out, but this move made Du Long angry.

He smashed it in the Fengyun foster care store, and finally left with a curse.

Fortunately, Du Long has not completely lost his mind, hurt people or even kill people, and the Fengyun foster care store only lost some property.

After the incident, Liu Fengyun chose to report to the Beast Master Association for the first time, but Du Long's handling results were not issued for a long time, so he had to visit again.

The next situation is the current conversation.

Obviously, the background behind this guy named Du Long is not small, and even the vice president of the Beast Master Association has a headache.

"Vice President Qin, can you give me an accurate answer, and when can I get the final result?" Liu Fengyun spoke in a deep voice.

"This... I really can't give it to you. Vice President Qin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Liu Fengyun's gaze dimmed a little, and after some argument, he also realized the trickiness of this matter, "Then can you tell me, who is standing behind Du Long?" ”

"That's fine." Vice President Qin's voice paused slightly, "But I suggest you calm down and don't go to the other party's trouble." ”

"I'm not stupid." Liu Fengyun smiled bitterly, "Say it." ”

"It's Vice President Zhou." Vice President Qin spoke in a deep voice, "Du Long is his brother-in-law. ”

"Vice President Zhou..."Liu Fengyun's smile became more and more bitter.

No wonder there is so much resistance to this matter.

The Xuanxing City Beast Master Association has a total of six presidents, and among the five vice presidents, there is only one surnamed Zhou, which is Vice President Zhou Changhe.

In terms of real power, he is the eldest of the five vice presidents.

"That's it, since that's the case, Liu thinks he's unlucky." Liu Fengyun stood up, his face mixed with unwillingness and helplessness, "Boss Xu, let's go." ”

"Actually..."Looking at the back of Liu Fengyun leaving, Vice President Qin suddenly spoke, "If you really want to seek justice, it's not completely impossible." ”

Liu Fengyun's figure paused, then quickly turned around and sat down, looking at Vice President Qin with bright eyes, "How do you say this?" ”

"This is your friend." Vice President Qin glanced at Xu Ran and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Yes." Without waiting for Liu Fengyun to speak, Xu Ran nodded.

"If he's willing to help you, there's a chance that this matter will be resolved." Vice President Qin said, continuing to play the paused video on the tablet, and pushed it to Xu Ran and Liu Fengyun at the same time, "Look at this." ”

After just one glance, Xu Ran showed a look of surprise.

Because in that video, it was the picture of his strength test just now.

Liu Fengyun on the other side showed a surprised and stunned look, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran is a beast master who is not weak, he knows it.

But he really didn't expect Xu Ran to be so strong.

The strength test of the Starlight Badge, Liu Fengyun is naturally no stranger, Xu Ran does not rely on the power of the pet beast, he can meet the strength requirements just by himself, so how strong is the pet beast?

"Your sword is very powerful, this should be something that evolved from an ancient martial arts." Vice President Qin looked at Xu Ran and slowly spoke, "President Qi of our association happens to be very interested in these. ”

"If you can meet President Qi on this basis and mention the matter of Fengyun Foster Care Store to him in person, with President Qi's jealous and hateful character, you will definitely give a fair result."

"This..."

Liu Fengyun was silent for a moment, and then looked at Xu Ran with an inquiring gaze.

If Xu Ran can do it, it will really help him too much.

But... Liu Fengyun was also not sure if Xu Ran was willing.

Looking at the two pairs of eyes looking at him, Xu Ran pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "If I see that President Qi, what do I need to give?" ”

"Hahaha, you don't have to pay anything." Vice President Qin laughed, "President Qi is a martial idiot, he likes all kinds of martial arts very much, and he is also good at a lot of weapons. ”

"If you have the opportunity to communicate with him, it will also be an opportunity for you."

"In that case, I have no opinion." Xu Ran smiled, "That Du Long, I'm also quite unhappy." ”

"Then there's only one problem." Vice President Qin shook the tablet in his hand, "Will President Qi be interested in your sword technique?" ”

In this regard, Xu Ran shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't think there's a problem."

——

"Boss Xu, I never expected that I hadn't helped you yet, but you did me such a big favor."

Walking out of the Beastmaster Association, Liu Fengyun excitedly shook Xu Ran's hand.

"You're welcome." Xu Ran withdrew his hand without a trace, "I still count on Boss Liu to help me find a suitable storefront." ”

"Okay, let's go now!" Liu Fengyun glanced at the slightly dim sky, and waved his big hand, "Before it gets dark, I promise you will find the storefront!" ”

I have to say that Liu Fengyun is indeed well aware of the situation in Xuanxing City.

The two barely took a detour and went straight to a store for sale in the middle of a lively business district.

"This is Twilight Street." Liu Fengyun pointed to the crowded streets around him, and said with a smile, "In the entire Xuanxing City, the prosperity of this street can rank among the top three. ”

"Of course, the focus is on the store itself." Liu Fengyun then pointed to the storefront with a sign for sale, "The interior space is very large, and there are many places that can be renovated, as a foster care store, it is more suitable." ”

"I'm still familiar with the seller of this store, so it's not a problem for him to give you a discount."

"Of course, if we're not satisfied here, we can look at something else."

"Satisfied." Xu Ran hurriedly spoke, "That's it." ”

The first time he saw the store in front of him, he felt a little like it for some reason.

The edge of the eye is very important.

And this store is very good in all aspects such as the location.

"Hehe, I guessed you'd like it here." Hearing Xu Ran's words, Liu Fengyun showed an unsurprising expression, "Because it is somewhat similar to the decoration style of your branch in Demon Wood City." ”

Hearing Liu Fengyun's words, Xu Ran noticed that this was really the case.

So, that's why he looks pleasing to the eye?

"Boss Liu bothered." Xu Ran spoke seriously.

Not only helped him find a suitable store, but even took into account the style of decoration, which is worth grateful.

"It's too polite, didn't Boss Xu help me a lot?" Liu Fengyun waved his hand indifferently and smiled, "Let's go, let's go find the seller." ”

Facts have proved that Liu Fengyun does have a lot of connections in Xuanxing City.

Without much effort, the seller of the store agreed to sell the store to Xu Ran at a discounted price of 20%.

Although Xu Ran is not short of money, he is still very happy to be able to give discounts.

After some closing, this store is officially owned by Xu Ran.

[Countdown to the completion of store renovation: 02:59:59]

The three-hour countdown to the storefront renovation appeared, which made Xu Ran can't help but show a comfortable smile.

When the renovation of the store is completed, it will be officially open tomorrow.

The fifth branch of the Spark foster care store is about to open.

"Boss Xu, is there a place to stay tonight?" Liu Fengyun smiled, "If not, I'll help you find it." ”

"No, you don't." Xu Ran shook his head with a smile and glanced at the sky that was not completely dark, "I've found it." ”

After three hours, he could move directly into the hotel, and naturally he didn't need to look for an extra place to stay.

However, this involves the secrecy of the system, so naturally Liu Fengyun can't be told.

"That's good." Liu Fengyun didn't get to the bottom of it, and smiled after making sure that Xu Ran had a place to stay, "It's not dark yet, let's find a place to have a drink?" ”

"We have a lot of special delicacies in Xuanxing City, you finally come once, you have to try it."

"No problem." Xu Ran readily agreed.

He is also interested in specialty cuisine.

The two set off quickly, and after looking for four restaurants in a row, they finally took their seats.

"Boss Liu, why do you have to find a window seat?" Xu Ran poured a cup of local Luoxing tea, took a sip, and asked curiously.

The first three restaurants have vacant seats, and the reputation of the dishes is also very good.

But as long as Liu Fengyun is in the window position, he will directly replace the next one.

So I looked for four to find a suitable one.

"Well...," Liu Fengyun smiled mysteriously, "I won't say it now, you'll know later." ”

"It's still a sale." Xu Ranwan smiled and stopped asking.

The two chatted through the window over tea, and then looked at the endless stream of pedestrians outside the window, which was quite leisurely.

Soon, the first course came up.

"Taste the meteor meat." Liu Fengyun smiled and spoke, "Xuanxing City's special dishes, take it as the most. ”

"You're welcome, then." Xu Ran nodded slightly, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and looked at them carefully.

Meteor meat is a slender shredded meat, wrapped in a coat and fried until golden brown and cooked, shaped like a meteor.

Just a little close to the mouth and nose, the rich aroma of fried oil spreads to the surface, and the surface is slightly refracted by the light, making the appetite move.

Xu Ran, who was already hungry, couldn't wait and sent a chopstick to his mouth.

"Click~"

The crispy but not overly heavy fried coat opens up in the mouth as you chew, with a unique wheat flavor, and although the shredded meat inside is fine, it is tender and juicy without any dry wood under the right heat.

Xu Ran couldn't tell for a moment what kind of meat this meteor meat was used, but at this moment, there were only two words in his mind.

Delicious!

"It's a really delicious dish." Xu Ran tasted the five little ones who were waiting to be fed next to him, and said sincerely, "It's really amazing to me in one bite." ”

Just as the second dish was served, Liu Fengyun smiled, "Try this second dish again, I believe you will have a new experience." ”

Xu Ran nodded in agreement and quickly dropped his chopsticks.

After a while, the dishes were all ready, and Xu Ran, who had tasted all the delicacies, praised and practiced, and enjoyed it with Liu Fengyun.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Fengyun suddenly smiled, "Boss Xu, look out the window." ”

"Huh?" Xu Ran, who was slightly drunk, subconsciously turned his head, and then realized that something was wrong, and raised his head suddenly.

I don't know when, the sky has completely darkened, but the entire Xuanxing City seems to be brighter than before.

Because, above the sky, countless stars shine brightly, reflecting the night.

The starlight of the stars reflected in the dark curtain, converging into a long river of stars, which swirled in the night sky at an extremely slow speed over time.

For those who see it for the first time, this is really indescribable magnificence.

"Sigh~" (This galaxy... ）

Xingchen stopped his dry meal and stared blankly at the dazzling starlight in the sky.

It felt the starlight, as if every strand was staring at it.

That magical feeling made Xingchen feel extremely obsessed.

After a moment of silence, there were exclamations all around.

Obviously, Xu Ran is not the only new guest in this magical city today.

"Boss Xu, now you know why I have to sit by the window." Liu Fengyun drank the wine in the cup and laughed.

"Got it." Xu Ran looked up at the meandering galaxy, grabbed the railing by the window with one hand, and picked up the wine glass with the other hand and brought it closer to his mouth.

"It's so beautiful~"
