Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 124 The upper limit of foster care

It was night, and outside the closed Star Fire Pet Store, there was a man with a height of two meters. He was as strong as a little giant, but his hands, feet and head were very different from humans. His body was covered with hair and there were two cats. The figure of the ear appears.

"Meow~"

Is this the shop where Xiao Huihui was washed and cared for...

The big cat calmly looked at the closed door of Star Fire Pet Store, and scenes of warm scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

Its eyes flashed with nostalgia and reminiscence, but these quickly dissipated and turned into calmness and majesty again.

Everything has passed, and now it is just the leader of the wandering beasts, the leader who guides these homeless guys correctly.

Recalling some of the details mentioned in Xiao Huihui's explanation, the big cat's face looked a little helpless.

That person once taught it that words must be deeds and deeds must be results.

I said that I would arrange washing and care for everyone, so I have to arrange it.

But the cleaning and care here is a bit expensive!

The big cat touched his waist. There was a shabby little waist bag. With this little waist bag, it seemed a little more human.

Inside, there are its savings, money that can be used by human society.

Although the acquisition process was not very aboveboard, at least no innocent people were harmed.

In the past, the big cat would use the money to buy some food from Transcendent creatures. The process of buying it was to secretly take it and then secretly give money to it.

The purchased food was distributed to the hungry stray beasts.

This kind of distribution is not to give them every meal, so that they have enough to eat and drink, but to give them in moderation, and then guide them to get close to humans to get food, and not to hate humans in human cities.

Thanks to its efforts, everyone has gradually got rid of the situation where they can only rely on it to provide food to extend their lives without robbing, and can be self-sufficient.

There is no need to buy food anymore, and the savings are growing.

But now, Da Mao suddenly felt that his savings were a little low.

It counted the number of companions with its paws, and its expression became more and more sad.

"Meow~"

I don’t know if this store can offer discounts...

After standing under the streetlight for a while, the big cat quietly disappeared.

——

"Morning!"

Xu Ran casually pinched Zi Yun and placed it on his face. The soft and warm paw pads made him sit up from the bed sleepily.

After taking a look at the sky, he began to wash and dress.

"Meow~" (I'm going to look at the stars first!)

Zi Yun, who woke Xu Ran up, saw that he was about to take off his clothes and ran away.

After a while, everyone gathered in the foster care area on the basement floor.

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, eat slowly!"

Xu Ran took a sip of the noodles he had ordered for himself and knocked on the edge of the bowl, asking the beasts who wanted to stuff their faces into the bowl to pay attention to their eating habits.

"Ouch——"

"Stop howling, frost wolf. After eating, go back to the snowy hills and howl as you wish!"

"Huo Duanzi, stop guarding your food. No one here drinks kerosene except you!"

After shouting, Xu Ran began to count the foster residents with satisfaction.

"Twenty-seven...twenty-eight...twenty-nine!"

His eyes fell on the new resident who moved in yesterday afternoon, and his smile became brighter.

Foster care residents are about to break through the thirty mark.

You still have to rely on them for your daily physical fitness points!

"Don't be afraid of the pudding rabbit, whoever bullies you will..." Xu Ran approached the new residents and before he finished speaking, he saw the pudding rabbit flying up and knocking over the food bowl of the golden ants next to it. .

"Don't bully other residents either!!!"

The whole meal ended with Zi Yun elegantly wiping her mouth after finishing her meal and showing off her kingly attitude.

Seeing the residents eating their meals diligently, Xu Ran packed up the food bowls and sent the two pets to the training area to start a new day of training. Then Shi Shiran returned to the first floor and opened the store door.

Star Fire Pet Store's business day starts with the first customer standing outside the door waiting early to enter.

"Boss, please wash and take care of my pet!"

"No problem." Xu Ran smiled and stretched out an arm to guide the other person towards the store.

"Huh?" Just as he was about to enter the store with his customers, he suddenly felt something and turned to look outside the store door.

On the street in the early morning, a few passers-by happened to walk by, and everything was as usual.

"...Maybe it's my misunderstanding." Xu Ran shook his head slightly and quickly began to care for the guest's pet.

From a hidden corner of the street, a cat's head slowly poked out, its eyes looking deeply in the direction of Star Fire Pet Store.

His perception is quite keen. Is he the owner of this store?

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a beast master.

The cat's head slowly retracted, leaving only one eye looking through the gap in the cover in the direction of the Star Fire Pet Store.

Secret observation.jpg——

“Welcome to visit next time~”

Waving away today's sixth nursing customer, Xu Ran shook his aching hands with a satisfied smile on his face. He returned to the counter and held his head, looking out the door in a daze.

Today's store can receive an average of six or seven customers for washing and care every day. As the service that earns the most Pleasure Points, washing and care alone can bring him over 10,000 Pleasure Points every day.

Rather foster care...

As the number of pets staying in the store approaches 30, fewer and fewer new customers have come to foster care recently.

Qingzhou City is so big, and the number of beast masters here is not comparable to that in larger cities. There are only a few beast masters who need foster care, and other foster care shops have already been saturated.

Fortunately, the reputation of Star Fire Pet Store is getting better and better recently. Many pet masters who have finished their foster care period in other foster care stores have not renewed their subscriptions, but have been sent to Star Fire Pet Store, which has brought many residents to the foster care store. .

But other foster care shops cannot just sit back and wait. They have successively launched discounts, care and nursing care and other preferential measures, which have better retained some of the swaying customers.

I wonder if today’s foster care residents can break through the 30 mark...

"Boss Xu, I'll take care of you!"

"Here we come!" Xu Ran immediately stood up from behind the counter and greeted him cheerfully.

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Moreover, they are still acquaintances.

Looking at Zhang Yun and the stone-armored dragon behind him, with a bit of anticipation, following closely and constantly looking at the back door of the Star Fire Pet Store, Xu Ran's smile became even stronger.

"Brother Zhang, are you busy with work again?"

"Yes." Zhang Yun nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "I've been busier at work recently than before. Fortunately, I don't need to go out for too long this time, only three days."

Zhang Yun paused slightly and looked at Xu Ran.

"Just these three days, please."

"You can rest assured." Xu Ran nodded.

"Of course I feel relieved when I send it to you." Zhang Yun laughed, then seemed to think of something, and changed his voice, "Can I see the activity area assigned to the Stone Armored Dragon?"

At this moment, he remembered the amazing space expansion technology he saw when he brought his nephew here last time.

Nowadays, the fostering space in Star Fire Pet Store is much larger than before. So, will the activity area allocated to my own stone-armored dragon be larger than before?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's eyes suddenly became more hopeful.

"Of course, no problem." Xu Ran opened the back door, "Follow me."

After a while, the two of them stood in the foster care area on the underground floor.

"This area belongs to the stone-armored dragon." Using the control center, Xu Ran quickly designated a living area for the stone-armored dragon in the foster care area.

It was no longer a small hill made of cobblestones. What appeared in front of Zhang Yun and Shijialong was an undulating hilly terrain made of cobblestones.

In terms of floor area, it is five times larger than before.

You know, when Zhang Yun came here last time, there were only three residents in the foster care area.

"Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?" After the design was completed, Xu Ran turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yun.

"No, this is already very good." Zhang Yun shook his head without hesitation, "Boss Xu, your foster care area has changed so much, do you really not need to increase the price?"

"No, it's still the original price." Xu Ran shook his head slightly.

The system has no intention of raising prices, nor does it increase the automatically deducted costs. Naturally, he has no interest in raising prices either.

It’s not like we’re short of money. What if we persuade a customer to leave?

"Boss Xu, you are truly the most conscientious businessman I have ever seen." Zhang Yun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "The forum says you are a profiteer, which is really an injustice to you."

"Yes, it's all rumors." Xu Ran sighed, and his eyes suddenly became friendly when looking at Zhang Yun.

Just for your words, I will give the Stone Armored Dragon a small start!

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Zhang Yun nodded, leaned down and patted the stone armored dragon's big head, "Wait until I come back to pick you up!"

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and transferred the three-day foster care fee to Xu Ran before leaving.

Xu Ran wanted to send him off, but he took a step and suddenly stopped.

A line of text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Foster care residents have reached the maximum limit]

ah?

ah? ?

Xu Ran, who had just reached 30 as a foster care resident, felt that he had reached another milestone and decided to keep up his efforts. Xu Ran, who soon had 40 foster care residents, suddenly lost his expression.

No... Thirty is the upper limit?

He couldn't help but turn his head and looked at the remaining foster care space that was about half of the available space under his plan.

Such a large space is more than enough to accommodate fifty or sixty residents, right?

"You are obviously unreasonable!" Xu Ran couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "In such a big place, the upper limit is thirty people?"

As if aware of Xu Ran's complaint, the line of text that appeared in front of him paused, and then was quickly replaced by another line of text.

[The host has limited energy. Fostering more pets will over-distribute the energy, and the pets fostered in the store will not receive the best care and attention. ]

"Energy is limited..." The corners of Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly.

He always felt that this scene seemed familiar.

I had a similar situation before when I was washing and caring for my skin.

It's not that the upper limit has been reached, but it's a reminder that washing and care cannot be repeated within a short period of time.

Although the situation is different now, they are essentially the same.

"So, if I increase my energy, will the upper limit of foster pets in the store be increased?" Xu Ran speculated.

When the strength is strong, the energy will naturally be strong.

The system did not respond to Xu Ran's speculation, so Xu Ran stood there and continued to speculate.

In addition to increasing strength, there is another possible way to increase the upper limit of foster care, and that is through system upgrades.

The last upgrade brought such a large space for foster care. Xu Ran has reason to believe that the next system upgrade will also greatly improve the service.

However, Xu Ran’s main mission 1 has not yet been completed, and the system upgrade is far away.

In addition to these two methods, the third and most feasible method is to hire store clerks.

A person's energy is limited. Xu Ran runs the Star Fire Pet Store by himself, and he personally handles the care, foster care and training. This is very strange.

If there are new employees in the store, Xu Ran will naturally have more energy to take care of more foster residents.

But the problem is that Star Fire Pet Store is not an ordinary foster care store, and it is impossible to hire normal clerks here.

It is impossible for a normal store clerk to bring him the income from Pleasure Points and various System Skills. All he can get is the money from business.

What does he want the money for?

so…

"Is this the meaning of the system clerk's existence?"

Thinking of the mission rewards of Main Mission 1, Xu Ran felt a little more enlightened.

Since there was no more detailed introduction and explanation of the task rewards, he could only complete the task as soon as possible to see what the system clerk was like.

but…

This day won't be long.

Xu Ran glanced at the personal panel subconsciously.

[Hair Removal (B Grade)] (49/500)

[Drugging(C Grade)](351/500)

[C Grade] (56/500)

The completion condition for main task 1 is that all three System Skills have reached B Grade. Xu Ran Hair Removal is now B Grade, which is equivalent to one-third of the way completed.

Drugging is also progressing very quickly. Now after midnight every day, when the experience settlement time comes, it can bring him more than 20 experience points.

With the Shijialong moving in, the foster care residents have reached the upper limit, and they can gain 30 experience points every day. Calculating, they will soon be able to break through B Grade.

As for the whole life…

Xu Ran acquired this skill last, so in order to let it keep up with the progress of the other two skills and break through B Grade as soon as possible, Xu Ran has been promoting new business to the customers in the store during the past period of business.

Anyone who musters up the courage to give it a try will be shocked by the amazing training efficiency of Star Fire Pet Store's sparring service. From then on, he will become a regular customer of the store and come to the store regularly for sparring, so his experience will increase quickly.

"Xilu?"

"Meow?"

The slightly confused voices of Xingchen and Zi Yun brought Xu Ran back from his thoughts.

"Have you two completed the training?" Xu Ran smiled as he looked at the two pet beasts who were slightly tired but had shining eyes.

"Meow?" (Have the resources been delivered?)

Zi Yun asked expectantly.

"Not yet." Xu Ran shook his head, "It should be almost time, right? You two will go upstairs with me and wait?"

The two pet beasts looked at each other and followed Xu Ran.

They spent so much points redeeming resources yesterday, and they can't wait to use them!
