As it turned out, Xu Ran's expectations were too idealistic.

As soon as midnight passed, Xu Ran, who was in deep meditation, slowly opened his eyes and looked helplessly at a line of text that suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Pleasure value reminder: The pleasure value of the sweet bell of the foster pet beast is abnormally reduced]

Here it comes.

Again, an abnormal decrease in pleasure value.

What's going on this time?

Injured? Suddenly sick? Or something else?

Xu Ran immediately picked up the control center placed at the head of the bed, turned on the monitoring and looked at it.

In the surveillance footage, a pet beast with a humanoid appearance, short and thin body, and a bell larger than its body hanging above its head, sits quietly in the deepest part of a cave, holding its knees with its hands and knees, and its face is unrecognizable.

This... It doesn't look like you're feeling unwell, does it?

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and a somewhat confused expression appeared on his face.

But from the surveillance footage, there is nothing wrong with it.

He looked at the replay again, and again did not find the reason for the abnormal decrease in the pleasure value of this sweet bell.

It seems that you can only go to the scene to see it in person.

He sat up from his bed and looked at the empty room.

At this time, all five little ones went to training.

Putting on a coat at random, Xu Ran walked out of the room in his pajamas and rushed quickly to the foster care area.

In a short time, he had already walked into the cave in the surveillance footage and found the sweet bell in the cave.

The hazy glow of the hand-held night light illuminates the depths of the dark cavern and envelops the silhouette of Sweet Bell's figure.

Walking up to the sweet bell, Xu Ran heard a slight sound.

He cautiously approached, only to find Sweet Bell sobbing quietly.

It turned out to be in a bad mood?

No wonder nothing is visible in the surveillance.

Xu Ran nodded suddenly, and the six-pointed star array behind him flickered rapidly.

In the breeze, Twelve's figure quickly revealed.

Under Xu Ran's call, it suspended its training and appeared here.

With such a big movement, it is naturally impossible for Sweet Bell not to be aware of it.

But it only sobbed and paused slightly, then continued to sob.

With the translation of twelve, Xu Ran suddenly felt a little more confident in his heart.

He sat down softly next to Sweet Bell and whispered, "That's... Is there anything you're not happy about? ”

The sweet bell continued to bow its head and remain silent, but the bell above her head shook slightly at this moment, making a crisp ringtone.

"Suzu~" (I don't know, but I suddenly feel sad.) ）

Feeling sad all of a sudden?

Xu Ran's brows furrowed.

What is this, late-night emo?

"Isn't there a specific reason for being sad?"

The big bell above Sweet Bell's head shook slightly.

"Suzu~" (I'm not sure, I can't tell.) ）

It looks like it's a late-night emo.

Xu Ran probably had a conclusion in his heart.

In life, there will always be some unsatisfactory little things, these little things will bring us some small unhappiness, if this unhappiness is suppressed for a long time without venting, it will explode at a certain moment and become inexplicably depressed.

It's hard to say that this depression is caused by a specific thing, because all the unsatisfactory experiences in the past period of time are the triggers.

And such a low mood usually occurs at night.

In the long night alone, the emotional outburst was the most unexpected.

"You wait for me." Xu Ran gave Twelve eleven a look, motioned for Twelve to guard the sweet bell, and then turned to leave the cave.

After a while, he had a small bowl of food in his hand.

The bowl contains his delicate late-night snack for the sweet bells, which is not only delicious, but also has a soothing effect.

The effect of the food was immediate, and as the food bowl was gently placed in front of Sweet Bell, Sweet Bell's face, which had always been lowered, was lifted for the first time, revealing a face full of tears with facial features close to that of a human being.

"Try it, eat something delicious, and your mood will improve." Xu Ran smiled and made a gesture of "please taste".

Sweet Bell hesitated for a moment, then nodded, took the food bowl and ate slowly.

The intoxicating taste dispelled a bit of depression in its heart, and on Xu Ran's pleasure value panel, the pleasure value of the sweet bell gradually began to rise.

However, the amount of supper in the bowl was not much, and it was quickly eaten by the sweet bell, and as the sweet bell put down the empty bowl, the pleasure value it provided showed a downward trend.

Xu Ran: "..."

That's not going to work.

Delicious food can make it feel better temporarily, but this method will not cure the symptoms, unless you keep preparing food for Sweet Bells throughout the night, which is obviously impossible.

Seeing that Sweet Bell was about to bury her face in her knees again, Xu Ran hurriedly spoke, "Is there anything you want to do now?" ”

Since the food doesn't work, try doing something else to distract the sweet bells.

Sweet Bell's movements paused slightly, a thoughtful look appeared in its eyes, and after a moment, it shook its head slightly, and the big bell above its head shook with it.

"Suzu~" (Now I don't want to do anything, I just feel bad.) ）

"This..."Seeing the lack of interest in the sweet bell, Xu Ran suddenly felt tricky.

How to get rid of the low mood?

Twelve stared at the silent Sweet Bell, as if he saw a cloud of gray-black smoke enveloping its body, and it couldn't help but make a sound.

"Chirp?" (Or let me try?) ）

"Huh?" Xu Ran glanced at Twelve, and then his eyes lit up.

Just thinking about letting Twelve be the translator, I almost forgot Twelve's other abilities.

"Okay, you try!" He nodded without hesitation, then looked at the sweet bell and whispered, "Don't resist, let's see if we can ease your emotions." ”

Sweet Bell nodded slightly.

If it could, it would naturally want its mood to improve.

The blue eyes of the twelve seas seemed to ripple on the surface of a calm lake at this moment, with layers of strange light patterns flickering.

Invisible power burst out in an instant, enveloping the sweet bells.

Three-star skill, full moon level, endless deep sleep.

The endless deep sleep, which had just broken through to the full moon level, burst out with powerful power at this moment, instantly making Sweet Bell completely fall asleep and fall into a deep sleep.

The strength of the sweet bell is only the command level.

The Commander Twelve could easily make it sleep for hours.

But just letting Sweet Bells fall asleep won't solve the problem.

Its extreme depression has affected its own state, and even in its sleep, its brows are furrowed, its expression is painful, and its body twitches from time to time.

It's a sign of a nightmare.

"Next, it's up to you." Xu Ran spoke softly.

"Chirp~" (Leave it to me!) ）

Twelve nodded quickly, and then the sea-blue halo in the depths of his eyes became a little more intense, and with the special ability of the Deep Sleeping Bird, its consciousness instantly descended into the dream of Sweet Bell.

Sweet Bell's dream is a barren and broken world, and the earth is full of ravines of different depths, and these ravines are the embodiment of Sweet Bell's pain.

Instead of forcibly devouring the nightmare, Twelve carefully flew over one of the ravines and peeked down.

The ravine twisted and soon took on a somewhat broken picture.

In the picture, a human beast master praises and praises another pet beast, and Sweet Bell stands aside, his eyes full of envy and loss.

This is Sweet Bell's Beast Master and friends?

Twelve speculated, and then flew over another ravine.

The ravine quickly twisted, and another picture emerged, Sweet Bell was fighting the praised pet beast, and the opponent's strength was stronger than Sweet Bell, which soon made Sweet Bell bruised all over his body.

Twelve didn't say a word, and then flew to another ravine.

Hidden in this ravine is the image of Sweet Bell being injured while fighting otherworldly creatures outside the city.

One after the other.

Twelve shuttles through the broken dream world, peeking into all the negative emotions of Sweet Bell's past.

These pasts come from partners, beast masters, and powerful enemies.

It was they who made Sweet Bell's mood suddenly and uncontrollably low.

And seeing these ravines, Twelve already had an idea.

It flapped its wings, and its body turned into a blue rainbow in the sky, quickly reaching the most central void of the dream world.

Invisible power burst out from Twelve's body and spread in all directions, soon enveloping this small dream world.

Everything around them began to distort and transform, and the broken world was filled with the scent of birds and flowers, filled with all the elements of happiness and sweetness.

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

It looked at the sweet bells in the dream world and quietly left.

Have a good dream.

In the cave, Twelve slowly opened his eyes and nodded at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran turned his head to look at Sweet Bell, his body was originally tense, and he twitched from time to time, and the sleeping posture of Sweet Bell, whose expression was painful, became natural and relaxed, and his expression was also soothed, even with a little bit of a smile.

At this point, the pleasure value has completely returned to its normal level, and even increased.

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Sweet Bell wouldn't be emo again tonight.

However, the next moment, the words that suddenly appeared made Xu Ran's expression stiffen slightly.

[Pleasure value reminder: The pleasure value of the foster pet beast Jade Tooth Dragon is abnormally reduced]

Xu Ran couldn't help but sigh.

If it goes on like this, he's afraid he's going to have to emo tonight.

——

Time turned, and soon it was the morning of the second day.

Seeing the staff of the organizer appear outside the foster care store, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was completely relaxed.

Since last night, he has experienced eight anomalous decreases in pleasure levels, five of which were late-night emos, and the remaining three were for other reasons.

Fortunately, with the assistance of Twelve, these emergencies were dealt with in a timely and proper manner.

The price was that he couldn't meditate properly all night.

"The foster care time is over, and it's hard work." Compared with a day ago, the smile on the face of the staff at this moment was obviously a little brighter, and the eyes looking at Xu Ran even had a little respect.

Although he was not a judge, the staff of the same organizer learned about the performance of the Spark Foster Care Store for the first time.

It can be said that the performance of the 24-hour foster care of the Spark foster care store has completely shocked the holding department of the pet animal foster care experience exhibition.

Perfectly meets the boarding needs of all pet animals, perfectly meets the eating habits of all pet animals, and perfectly copes with all sudden situations.

Under the three perfections, the Spark Foster Care Store won the first full score in the foster care experience exhibition for so many sessions.

"I'll go get them out." Xu Ran smiled, turned around and walked into the foster care area, and soon walked out with twenty pet beast judges.

At this time yesterday, they were very uncooperative, and even stood in front of the foster care store and refused to come in.

Today, however, they behave very differently.

The movements of each pet beast seemed slow, with obvious reluctance on their faces.

After being taken care of by the Spark Foster Care Shop, they are no longer willing to leave here.

The staff who noticed this scene was not surprised, and after smiling bitterly, they looked at the twenty pet animal judges and said softly, "Today we will go to the next foster care store, and I believe they will also go all out to provide you with comfortable services." ”

"Now, it's time for us to go."

Twenty pet animal judges followed behind the staff and left the Spark boarding store step by step.

Seeing their departing figures disappear from sight, Xu Ran casually closed the door of the Xinghuo foster care store, and then hung a "temporarily closed" plaque on the door.

He had agreed with the five little ones before, and when the pet beast experience exhibition was over, he would take them to Cloud Picking City and enter the Valley of Poisonous Flames and the Silent Abyss.

The former is the place where fireflies evolve.

The latter may have the last material for the evolution of the stars, the clue of the Zhenxing Stone.

"Are you ready?" Xu Ran turned his head and looked behind him.

The five little ones were already ready to go, and their faces were full of anticipation.

"Roar!" (Ready!) ）

Firefly swung his bear claws heavily, and his red eyes were full of burning battle intent.

At this moment, it is significantly thinner than when it first contracted.

And this thinness is not a pathological emaciation, but a sense of strength.

All of this is due to its extremely hard training.

Probably because of his background and childhood experience, among the five little ones, Firefly is the only one whose training effort can be comparable to that of Xingchen.

In addition to the six hours in the training area, in the foster care area, Firefly will also try to train.

It is well aware that it is not ordinary.

The mutant race, which had even been completely blocked on the path to promotion, finally saw a glimmer of opportunity with Xu Ran's help.

It is up to it to seize this opportunity, no matter how much effort it takes.

And such hard work has also paid off handsomely.

Firefly's innate skills, three of which have been upgraded to the full moon level, have completed the small goals it has set for itself.

Before evolving, have three Full Moon level skills!

"Sigh~" (I hope I can find the Zhenxing Stone smoothly this time.) ）

Seungchen lifted one of his front hooves and touched the light of Hyosung hanging around his neck, hissing softly.

The other three little ones also seemed full of energy.

Although this operation is not directly related to themselves, they are companions who get along day and night, and in the past resource allocation, a good tradition of mutual help has already been imperceptibly formed.

The things of the fireflies and the stars are their business.

"Let's go!"

Xu Ran smiled slightly, and his figure disappeared into the Xinghuo foster store in Xuanxing City.

A moment later, a six-pointed starlight array suddenly appeared in the storefront, teleporting the five small ones away.

At the same time that one person and five pets went to Cloud City, somewhere in Xuanxing City, a foster care shop called Wild Wolf Foster Care Store opened its door early and put up lights.

Zou Cheng, the owner of the Wild Wolf Foster Shop, was dressed in a festive costume and stood outside the door like a doorman.

Behind him, the employees of the foster care store stood neatly in two rows, uniformly dressed.

Looking at this posture, it can be said that it is a strict battle.

Looking at the time indicated by the clock in his hand, Zou Cheng took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the employees behind him, "This foster care experience exhibition, give me 100% sincerity!" ”

"Cheer up, give it your all, and don't make any mistakes or negligence!"

"Say out loud what we're trying to do with this show!"

"Fight for one, move forward!" The employees responded in unison, and their tones were full of high morale.

Seeing the state of the employees, Zou Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

At the last foster care experience exhibition, their wolf foster care store won the penultimate ranking because of negligence, not to mention the shame, this time the foster care experience exhibition was also assigned to the second place with great disadvantage.

Fortunately, there was a newly opened foster care store in front of the wolf that gave them a cushion and didn't let them get the first one.

In this foster care experience exhibition, Zou Cheng has only one purpose, that is, to be ashamed and achieve excellent results.

After experiencing the last exhibition, he learned from the pain and made a drastic innovation to the foster care service of the foster care store, although this time the order is not very good, but he is confident that he will at least get the top three good results!

As for the first, it's not impossible.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zou Cheng's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he couldn't suppress it.

If they win the first place in the foster care experience exhibition, their wolf foster care store will not only replace the Pingtian foster care store, but at least they will be able to share most of the customers of the Pingtian foster care store and become the top foster care store in Xuanxing City.

In a trance, he seemed to have seen such a picture.

However, the movement in the distance made Zou Cheng quickly return to reality.

Seeing a uniformed staff member walking towards this side with twenty pet beasts of different shapes, Zou Cheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.

Here it comes!

Looking at the staff and pet beast judges who were approaching quickly, Zou Cheng shouted, "Ready~up!" ”

Employees who stood up straight sang in unison the songs they had rehearsed early.

"Welcome to ~Wolf Foster Care Shop~"

"The service here is really good ~ the most wonderful feeling of home ~"

“…”

Two employees also took out salute flowers, accompanied by two "bang" sounds, spraying a large number of ribbons and sequins in the air.

The corners of the staff's mouth twitched slightly.

The welcome ceremony in front of him can be regarded as a very high standard among the several pet animal foster care experience exhibitions he has experienced.

This is in stark contrast to Xu Ran's casualness yesterday.

Thinking that the Spark Foster Care Store had won the first perfect score in the history of the Pet Beast Foster Care Experience Exhibition, the staff suddenly felt that the welcome ceremony in front of them was a bit bells and whistles.

"Boss Zou, the twenty pet animal judges in foster care have arrived." He looked at Zou Cheng and spoke, "In the next day, I will hand them over to you." ”

"This time tomorrow, I'll come and pick them up."

"No problem!" Zou Cheng stepped forward enthusiastically with a bright smile, "This gentleman has worked hard, do you want to enter the store and sit?" ”

"Not necessarily." The staff shook their heads slightly, "I'll leave first." ”

After speaking, he turned around and said goodbye without hesitation.

"Sir, go slowly!" Zou Cheng waved enthusiastically at the back of the staff leaving, and then looked at the twenty pet beast judges, the smile on his face became a little brighter, "Welcome to the judges." ”

"Our store has prepared the most comfortable foster environment for you, please come with me!" After speaking, Zou Cheng made a "please" gesture and walked towards the store.

Twenty pet animal judges, you look at me, I look at you.

The most comfortable foster care environment?

They couldn't help but think of the Spark foster care store they had just left.

Can the foster care environment of this foster care store be better than the previous one?

Thinking about this problem, none of them followed Zou Cheng into the foster care store.

Zou Cheng took two steps, suddenly sensed that something was wrong, turned his head to look at the pet beast judge standing in place, and was dumbfounded.

All pet judges don't enter the store?

Is this one of the challenges that this year's organizers are preparing for?

Anyway, it was an old store that had participated in the foster care experience exhibition, although he was shocked, Zou Cheng quickly thought of a solution.

He returned to the foster pet beast and said with a smile, "I know that you may not have been to our wolf foster store before, so you are not familiar with it. ”

"Why don't I tell you about our store first?"

"We have a boarding area in the Wolf Foster Shop—" he introduced in a flat voice, gesturing to the staff behind him with his hands behind his back.

The staff understood, and quickly took out a piece of dim sum that had been carefully prepared and distributed it to a pet judge.

The pet judges ate snacks and couldn't help but exchange another look with each other.

The taste is average.

In the morning, they had just eaten a meal prepared by the Xinghuo Foster Shop, and at this moment, they tasted the dim sum in their hands, which was really not too amazing.

But they still felt the kindness and enthusiasm of the wolf boarding shop.

Therefore, after Zou Cheng introduced the situation of the store, he invited the pet animal judges to enter the foster care area again, and the twenty pet animal judges did not make a fuss, and followed cooperatively.

Soon, according to the different attributes and growth levels, these twenty pet animal judges, under the leadership of the staff, entered the different foster care areas of the wolf boarding shop.

The gibbon monkey watched his good friend Flamingo being taken to another foster area by another employee, and thought of the joy of their life and play together yesterday, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the staff who led him.

"Yo~" (I want to live with Flamingo!) ）

However, this employee did not have a pet beast that could communicate with his heart, and he did not have the first insight into the meaning of the gibbon ape.

He smiled and whispered, "May I ask you what you need?" ”

Only then did the gibbon ape react, the human in front of him did not understand what he meant, and he wanted to make a gesture, but when he turned his head, he found that the body of the fire pig was no longer visible.

This made it suddenly a little more depressed, and shook its head slightly, signaling that it was okay.

A similar situation has occurred with other employees of the Wild Wolf Foster Shop.

Each pet animal expressed its wishes when entering the foster care area, but due to communication limitations, the staff of the wolf foster care store did not fully know what they meant, and only some of them successfully lived with close friends.

After a short time, they arrive at their respective foster care areas.

Foster care spaces with enough space for daily activities and a foster care environment that matches their respective attributes ensure that they need to live in the following day.

The independence and privacy of not being disturbed by other foster residents can also lead to a better experience for foster animals.

In the past, such a foster care place is already very good for the pet animal judges.

But without contrast, there is no harm.

The boarding area of the Spark foster care store that I just left is simply heaven and earth here.

The faces of these pet beast judges remained unchanged, but they were already a little more disappointed in their hearts.

They're starting to miss the foster care environment at Spark Foster Care.

——

Xuanxing City Beast Master Association, the organizer meeting room.

At the same time as the pet animals entered the new foster care store, the judges were also in place.

They were first amazed by the outrageous performance of the Spark foster care store yesterday, and then quickly entered today's judging work.

"I'm not in a good mood." The Beastmaster of the Gibbon Stone Ape frowned slightly, "The Wolf Foster Store didn't let it live with the Flamingo. ”

"There should be a communication problem." Another judge spoke slowly.

This situation is normal in the foster care experience exhibition.

There are always some pet beasts whose needs have not been successfully communicated, and because of the personality of pet animals, they have not received timely feedback.

"My Liuxuan Eagle has already begun to complain about the environment." Another judge smiled, "The environment of this wolf boarding shop is not very good." ”

"Don't say it, my silver is also complaining about the foster care environment."

"And my Red Brocade Bird."

"I..."

One judge after another responded, and their pets were all reporting the same question.

It's a pity that the power of these review contracts has not reached the fourth level, and I can't see the environment of the Wild Wolf Foster Store with my own eyes.

"No, it's actually pretty good." One of the four chief judges spoke slowly at this moment, his expression was slightly solemn, "This crazy wolf boarding shop is not visible on weekdays, and the foster care environment is not inferior to ordinary days. ”

"Yes, it seems that this Boss Zou is also ambitious." The other chief judge smiled, "It's a pity..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the rest of the sentence.

After listening to the words of the two main judges, the other judges widened their eyes one by one.

What do you mean?

The foster care environment of the Wild Wolf Foster Care Store has been close to that of the Pingtian Foster Care Store?

That's amazing!

You must know that the Pingtian Foster Care Store has been the first place in every foster care experience exhibition in the past.

The fact that the Wild Wolf Foster Care Store can be close to the foster care environment means that its foster care environment is already considered top in Xuanxing City.

And such a foster care environment was disgusted and complained by all the pet animal judges.

The reason, naturally, is that the spark foster care store Zhuyu is in front.

The expressions of the crowd became solemn.

Spark foster care store, this is going to kill the exhibition directly...
