Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 280 Willow Dark Flower Bright Another Village

After hearing what the two staff members said, Xu Ran felt for a moment that he had heard wrongly.

He quickly realized what the other person was referring to, and an angry and funny expression appeared on his face, "Two gentlemen, this is not the actual situation."

"Please tell me, we are here today to understand the situation." The staff member was quite friendly and took out a pen and paper to record the situation.

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

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

Upon hearing this, the two association staff members exchanged glances.

Indeed, this is the biggest doubt about this matter.

"So what exactly happened?" Another staff member couldn't help but ask.

"The thing is like this." Xu Ran paused for a moment, organized his words, and then said, "That silly badger came to our store by himself at noon yesterday and took out a resource as a foster care fee. , asking to be fostered.”

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

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

"The other person who paid the money is the customer." Xu Ran said calmly, "I am a store owner. I serve my customers and prepare a suitable foster care environment for them. Is it reasonable?"

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

There's really nothing wrong with that.

"Then Mr. Kangcheng complained that you prevented him from meeting the pet beast. What happened?" The leading staff member stopped the fast recording in his hand and asked.

"Well." The expression on Xu Ran's face became a little more innocent. "The silly badger paid to come to our store to be fostered. That is the resident of our store."

"Someone wants to visit the residents of our store. As the boss, it is reasonable for me to ask him if he is willing to meet." Xu Ran paused slightly, "Han Dou Badger is not willing to see the other person, even if he is his own Beast master."

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

They looked at each other, and then followed the staff who came and hummed, "What a Cannes. He promised in the association that he would treat the stupid badger well, but now he does such a thing!"

Both of them are not stupid. Combined with the fact that Han Dou Badger cannot be summoned by Cannes to leave, it is clear which one of the two has more credibility.

Therefore, after comparing the oral accounts of Kang Cheng and Xu Ran, they quickly made their own judgment on this matter.

Obviously, Kangcheng did do something that made Han Dou Badger unhappy. Otherwise, Han Dou Badger, a pet beast with a very easy-to-get-together personality, would not have done such a thing.

"A solid guarantee?" After hearing the staff member's words, Xu Ran couldn't help but have a look of curiosity on his face, "What's that about?"

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

Now it seems that the story seems more complicated than imagined, right?

How could the Beast Masters Association get involved in the beasts contracted by the Beast Masters?
  "This matter is a bit complicated." The head staff heard Xu Ran's inquiry and did not hide it. There was a sad expression on his face. "In short, Kangcheng was not the original emperor of Han Dou Badger. Beastmaster.”

"What about the original beastmaster of Han Dou Badger?" Hearing this, the look of surprise on Xu Ran's face became even more intense.

"He passed away." The staff member who followed him said in a slightly lower voice, "The original beast master of Han Dou Badger, although he was not a staff member of our beast master association, he was a very enthusiastic and good person. .”

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

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

"That beast master's biggest wish before he left was that his pet beasts could be treated well." The staff member's eyes were slightly red, "He is just an elite beast master, and one of his pet beasts is still there. They died together in an accident."

"The only ones left are the stupid badgers."

"Our Beast Masters Association takes this matter very seriously. We have adopted Han Dou Badger into the association and are looking for good enough beast masters for him."

"Then why did you find Kang Cheng?" Xu Ran frowned slightly.

That guy is not considered an excellent beast master after all, right?
  After listening to the story of Han Dou Badger's last beast master, he even felt that Kangcheng was not worthy of contracting with Han Dou Badger.

"The reasons are very complicated." The staff member smiled bitterly, "When Cancheng was inspected by our Beastmaster Association, his performance in all aspects was very good."

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

"So... this stupid badger, the association finally chose him to entrust it to us."

"What about Han Dou Badger's own opinion?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask.

Even the association can't force the pet beast's contract, right?
  "Boss Xu, you run a foster care shop, so you should also know the habits of stupid badgers." The head of the staff said at this moment, "Although this race is very brave in battle, it is a bit stupid in daily life. .”

"The stupid badger also knew the wish of its previous beast master. At that time, its only thought was to fulfill the other party's wish."

"Immersed in the pain of losing the beast master, Han Dou Badger himself has no objection to the contract."

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

He could imagine that when the staff of the association made this decision, they must have hoped that Kangcheng could soothe the pain of Han Dou Badger, let it feel the care and warmth of the beastmaster, and get out of the gloom and live a happy life again.

It's a pity that it seems that the entrustment is not human.

Until this moment, Xu Ran still didn't know what happened between Han Dou Badger and Kang Cheng, but it was obvious that Kang Cheng did not fulfill his promise when he took Han Dou Badger away from the Beast Tamer Association.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous, Boss Xu..." The red-eyed staff member paused slightly, "I wonder if we can go see the Badger?"

"Okay, come with me."

This time, Xu Ran didn't say anything about needing to seek advice from the Badger, and he happily led the two staff members into the elevator going up to the second floor.

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

Looking at such a vast foster care site with wide eyes, the two staff members quickly saw the only decorated area in it.

"That's the living area where Han Dou Badger lives in our store." Xu Ran pointed to the area where Han Dou Badger was and smiled, "It's a pity that Han Dou Badger is the only foster pet animal in our store for the time being, otherwise it could still be there." Go visit other residents or something.”

"Hey... how much does such a foster care environment cost?" The staff member whose eyes were red before couldn't help but gasped, and his low mood was temporarily restored.

"I just noticed that the elite level seems to be 6666 yuan a day." The staff member headed by the leader smiled, "This price/performance ratio makes me want to foster my own pet animal."

Seeing that the living environment of Han Dou Badger was so comfortable, the two staff members actually felt a sense of relief, and even their tone of voice became a little more relaxed.

"Our store will fully entertain any foster pets, and Han Dou Badger is no exception." Xu Ran said with a smile, and quickly led two staff members to Han Dou Badger, who was lying on his back on the rockery and sleeping soundly. Nearby, "You silly badger, wake up."

"grumble?"

Han Dou Badger opened his eyes lazily, as if he was just aware of the presence of other people around him at this moment. He slowly sat up straight and looked towards Xu Ran.

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

"It's me! I haven't seen you for a long time." The staff member whose eyes were red just now walked quickly to the silly badger with a bright smile, "How are you doing now?"

"Gee~"

Han Dou Badger nodded with satisfaction.

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

"That's good." The staff member looked very familiar with Han Dou Badger. At this moment, he climbed up the rockery and sat next to Han Dou Badger. "Can you tell me what happened between you and Kang Cheng?" What?"

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

Super pet beast, magic star.

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

This race is one of the few super races that has telepathy. It has the same ability as the velvet bird and can act as a translator.

"Xu Zhou is the all-rounder of our association. He is often required to communicate with extraordinary creatures." Standing next to Xu Ran, the leader of the staff smiled.

"I haven't asked yet, what should I call him?" Xu Ran asked while paying attention to Han Dou Badger's answer.

"Zhou Rong." The leader of the staff introduced himself.

The two did not continue chatting, and focused more on Xu Zhou and Han Dou Badger.

With the help of the Magic Star, Han Dou Badger seemed to gradually open up his heart, constantly making "chichi" sounds and telling Xu Zhou something.

Although Xu Zhou still had a relieved smile on his face, there was an increasingly intense anger in his eyes.

He already knew the specific situation from Han Dou Badger.

After jumping off the rockery again, Xu Zhou walked to Zhou Rong's side. The smile on his face completely faded, "What a Kangcheng."

"What exactly did Kang Cheng do?" Xu Ran asked curiously.

He was also quite curious about this.

Although, Kangcheng was not the original owner of Han Dou Badger.

But what kind of blaming thing must be done to make the stupid badger run away from home and refuse to answer the call?
  "That guy from Kangcheng, every time he provides resources to Han Dou Badger, he will constantly mention the value of these resources, tell Han Dou Badger how good he is to him, and ask Han Dou Badger to repay him well in the future." Xu Zhou said. With a scowl.

"Being together like this for a long time put Han Dou Badger under great psychological pressure."

"It lives with Kang Cheng. It will be scolded even if it eats any daily food resources. It is embarrassed to use too many resources for training."

"In the end, the stupid badger felt that he was so bad that he chose to leave."

"What?" After hearing the whole story, both Zhou Rong and Xu Ran had expressions of contempt and anger on their faces.

Isn't this the legendary PUA?
  Han Dou Badger had already suffered the grief of the death of his first beast master, but when he met the second beast master, he actually had to face such harsh criticism.

For a moment, the two of them were filled with indignation.

"No wonder Han Dou Badger ate food for the first time after he came to my foster care shop, as if he hadn't had a good meal in a long time." Xu Ran spoke in a low voice, looking at Han Dou Badger with a bit of regret.

"Hmph! It's better to let Han Dou Badger stay with Kang Cheng than to let Han Dou Badger stay in Boss Xu's foster care shop!" Xu Zhou said angrily, "How can there be such a beast master?"

"Obviously Han Dou Badger cooperated with him to take over many association tasks and earned a lot of money, but he actually has to worry about the daily expenses of his pet beast."

He does not mean that.

Hearing Xu Zhou's angry complaints, Zhou Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said quietly, "This is an idea."

"If it is a normal pet beast, the association has no right to force the beast master to terminate the contract with the pet beast, but the silly badger does not fall into this scope."

"It was originally entrusted to Cannes by the association. Once it is determined that Cannes has not treated it well, the association has the right to ask Cannes to give up fighting badgers."

Having said this, Zhou Rong turned to look at Xu Ran, "Boss Xu, just leave this matter to us, but if Han Dou Badger really terminates its contract with Kangcheng, can your foster care shop continue to foster it? ?”

"Of course." Xu Ran said without hesitation, "Not only will the foster care continue, but it will also be free of charge."

Xu Ran deeply sympathized with the badger's experience. If it really terminated its contract with Kangcheng and let it live here for free, Xu Ran would be willing to do so.

"It's free, so there's no need." Zhou Rong smiled slightly, "How can our Beast Masters Association take advantage of the citizens?"

"Don't worry, the foster care fees for Han Dou Badger will be recorded in the account of the Beast Tamers Association."

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

"I'm still somewhat confident about this." Zhou Rong glanced at Han Dou Badger one last time, and then waved to Xu Zhou, "It's time to go, back to the association to do business."

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

"Well..." Looking at the two staff who were about to walk out of the store, Xu Ran suddenly remembered something and asked aloud, "I would like to ask, do you know where I can get a map of the nearby area?"

"Map?" The two of them paused and turned to look at Xu Ran. Then Zhou Rong took the initiative and asked, "Boss Xu, what kind of map do you need?"

"The larger the scope, the better, and the more detailed the content, the better." Xu Ran spoke without hesitation. He originally wanted to ask the Beast Masters Association for a map and compare it with the piece of paper he got from the Thunder Dragon Stone yesterday. Now there happened to be a staff member of the Beast Masters Association who could ask about the situation.

"The bigger the scope, the better, and the more detailed the content, the better..." After repeating Xu Ran's words, Zhou Rong looked a little weird.

This...why does it feel like I didn't say it after I said it?

"I happen to have a detailed map of the entire Demonic Wood Domain here." After thinking about it, Zhou Rong took out a folded map from his arms and handed it to Xu Ran, "Just treat it as an apology for the trouble this time. Give it to Boss Xu."

"Hope it helps."

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

A map of the entire Yaomu Domain, including the City of Clouds, appeared in front of Xu Ran's eyes. The content was quite detailed, and even the habitat areas of wild extraordinary creatures were carefully divided.

If the location on the piece of paper obtained yesterday is really within the Yaomu Domain, Xu Ran will definitely be able to find it!
  With excitement in his heart, Xu Ran carefully compared the lines deeply remembered in his mind with the map in his hand.

But soon, Xu Ran's excited expression turned into confusion and loss.

No.

He compared the entire map back and forth three times, but could not find any area that matched the piece of paper that was suspected to be the Extinction Thunder map last night.

Could it be that...the guess is wrong?
  Xu Ran touched his chin, with a bit of confusion on his face.

Either that piece of paper is not a map, but means something else.

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

No matter which one of these possibilities it is, it means that the clues to the extinction thunder in hand are getting farther and farther away from them.

It becomes difficult to find.

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

Forget it, it’s better not to tell them about this yet, especially Ziyun.

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

Silently putting the map away in the innermost drawer of the counter drawer, Xu Ran collected himself and opened the store door again.

As the first customer walked in, the Xinghuo Nursing Store opened late but arrived.

In a booming business, time always passes quickly.

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

The three little ones who had completed their training were lazily staying in the store on the first floor, accompanying Xu Ran.

After satisfying his curiosity to explore the land of thunder, Cancan, the most restless among the three little ones, seemed to have calmed down a lot for the time being.

"Welcome light..."

Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, Xu Ran, who had just seen off a guest and only had time to stretch, turned his head and looked outside the door, then his voice paused and a smile appeared on his face, "Senior, come here ”

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

The big one is ten meters tall, and its huge body can hardly even enter the expanded store, while the smaller one is only about one meter tall.

The big one and the small one stand together, and the small one is like a hair ball falling off the big hair ball.

It was the Sandman and its father, the guardian of the Thunder Land.

These two, big and small, came at the invitation of Yan Ran to experience the cleansing and protection.

"Lulu~"

(I am coming.)
  The guardian nodded, looking at Xu Ran with a slightly strange look.

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

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

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

[Race name: Dream Chaser Apostle
  Attribute: super power

Growth level: King level
  Size: extra large
  Washing needs: ★★★★☆

Comment: This is a big hairball with dreams in mind, but body cleanliness is equally important to it. 】

Dream Chasing Apostle…

Is this the racial name of the guardian?

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

"Senior, please follow me." After saying that, Xu Ran motioned to the three little ones to guard the shop, and then walked towards the washing room behind him.

The Sandman stayed in the store, looking around curiously, and then its light purple eyes looked at the three little ones who were also staring at it.

"Lubi?"

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

Looking at the Dream Chaser who was lying down quietly but still looked extremely large, he took a deep breath and then began to carefully divide his long and fine hair.

After dividing the hair of the Dream Chaser into dozens of different areas, Xu Ran picked up the shower head and carefully poured it on one of the areas to wet the hair.

The warm water flowed down the gaps in the Dream Chaser's hair and passed through the Dream Chaser's skin hidden under the hair.

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

"Lulu~"

(Your care is very comfortable.)
  The deep voice of the Dream Chaser echoed in the bathroom.

"Senior, as long as you are satisfied." Xu Ran smiled, quickly wet the hair in the area in front of his eyes, then applied shampoo and rubbed it carefully with his palms.

As Xu Ran massaged with just the right amount of force, the slight itch was amplified, making the pleasure in the Dream Chaser's eyes become even more intense.

Then, its purple-black eyes slowly closed, and it fell asleep comfortably, with a slight snore coming from its mouth and nose, echoing in the nursing room.

Xu Ran, who was washing himself, hesitated slightly, with a strange look on his face.

The Dream Chasers are indeed the evolved form of the Sandman Group.

The reaction of these two to washing and care is really...

Amazingly synchronized and unique.

With a slight sigh, Xu Ran raised his head and looked at the huge body of the Dream Chaser Apostle.

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

Feeling that the comfort around it gradually faded, the Dream Chaser slowly woke up from its deep sleep. It slowly sat up, with a look of surprise in its eyes.

It used to feel uncomfortable all over the body from time to time, but now its body is more comfortable than ever before, and it can even exert its strength more freely than before.

After taking a look at the huge mirror on the side of the bathroom, the surprise in the eyes of the Dream Chaser apostle became even more intense.

This is...himself?
  In the mirror, its figure has become burly, and its originally fluffy but explosive long hair has now become extraordinarily soft, clinging to its body, and every strand is shining with gleaming light.

At just one glance, it fell in love with its new appearance.

"Senior, how do you feel?"

Xu Ran's face looked a little tired, but his smile was quite bright.

In order to repay the other party for giving Ziyun the Thunder Dragon Stone, he had put a lot of effort into the care just now.

"Lulu~"

(I love so much.)
  The Dream Chaser nodded without hesitation, and then followed Xu Ran out of the nursing room.

Outside the bathroom, the Sandman Group had already mingled with the three little ones. They were sitting around chatting and exchanging something. When they heard the noise coming from the bathroom, they all looked over and saw After the Dream Chaser apostle's new appearance, everyone showed surprise.

"Lubi!"

The most surprising thing was naturally the Sandman Group who spent time with the Dream Chasers.

It swayed to the side of the Dream Chaser, spread out its two short legs and ran around the Dream Chaser's strong body, and then a look of surprise appeared on its face.

"Lubi!"

The two flexible tentacles located on the top of its head began to move rapidly at this moment, expressing the joy in its heart.

"It seems that the Sandman Group also likes it very much." Xu Ran smiled.

And the purple-black eyes of Dream Chaser Apostle also had a loving smile.

"Lulu~"

(It's time for me to leave.)
  The Dream Chaser apostle spoke softly.

Although it really wants to stay here, it has left its guardian land for a long time and needs to go back as soon as possible.

"Senior, walk slowly...wait a moment." Xu Ran suddenly remembered something. When he saw the Dream Chaser apostle was about to leave, he quickly called out to him, "Senior, do you know the reason why Thunder God Silent Dragon fell?"

Suddenly, he thought of the clues that he couldn't find despite checking the map of Yaomu Domain today.

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

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

"Rumble..."

(The reason why Thunder God Silent Dragon fell...)
  There was a strange flash in Dream Chaser's eyes, and he glanced at Xu Ran.

So, they really found something from that special Thunder Dragon Stone?
  While feeling dumbfounded in his heart, the Dream Chaser apostle looked unintentional and spoke slowly.

"Lulu~"

(I don’t know the reason for the death of Thundergod Silent Dragon. When it found me, it had already reached the end of its life.)
  "Is that so..." Xu Ran had a look of disappointment on his face.

Even the Dream Chaser Apostle doesn't know, and the possibility of finding the Extinction Thunder Guide is even lower.

"Lulu~"

(However, before the Thunder God Silent Dragon fell, he once let out a sigh of regret toward the southwest. This may be related to the reason for its fall.)
  "Huh?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up, "A sigh of regret?"

The Dream Chaser nodded, then put the Sandman Group on his shoulders, waved to Xu Ran, turned his huge body to the door, and quickly disappeared.

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

Southwest direction…

Could this be the direction of the extermination thunder?

"Senior...eh?"

Xu Ran suddenly raised his head and wanted to ask something, but then he realized that the Dream Chaser apostle had already left.
