Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 125 The Wandering King

Back at the store on the first floor, the staff from the Beast Masters Association responsible for delivering and redeeming resources had not yet arrived.

Xu Ran continued to look at the store, while Zi Yun jumped up to the counter in a familiar manner, holding a pair of fleshy paws in his arms, lowering his head slightly and squinting his eyes.

Not far from it, Xingchen found an open place to stand, then slowly closed his amethyst-like eyes and took a nap.

The weather was sunny, and in the afternoon, heat continued to rise in the streets that had been exposed to the sun for half a day, and even the pedestrians became sparse.

After waiting for a long time, no new customers came. The cool air from the air conditioner was blowing, and there were two pet beasts taking a nap after training. Xu Ran seemed to be affected. He felt sleepy and couldn't help but tremble. Yawn.

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, the closed shop door was slowly pushed open, making a "squeak" sound.

Are there guests?

Xu Ran quickly cheered up, shook his head twice quickly, stood up, "Welcome to the light..."

Before he could say the word "Lin", his voice stopped abruptly.

Looking at the muscular man standing in front of him with a strong body, arms folded across his chest like a hairy man, with a cat's head on his head, and wearing dirty human clothes, Xu Ran's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

Is this a human being or just a pet animal? !

After looking at it several times, Xu Ran was sure that the big guy in front of him was a pet beast that he didn't recognize.

"Where is your beastmaster?" He couldn't help but ask.

Zi Yun and Xingchen, who were awakened by the side, also opened their eyes and looked at this big guy with a bit of surprise.

It's not like there are no pet beasts with human-like figures, but it's a bit rare to see one wearing human clothes like the one in front of you.

More importantly, the clothes it wore were a bit shabby and sloppy.

This is even more weird.

"Meow-"

Humanity, protect me.

Da Mao did not answer Xu Ran's question. He glanced at the price tag on the wall and spoke in a low voice.

"Meow~" (It says it wants you to wash and care for it!)

Zi Yun stared at the big cat and started translating.

As a pet cat, it can easily understand what the other person means.

And... after taking a closer look, Zi Yun always felt that the guy in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It's as if... I've seen or heard of each other before.

"Huh? Cleansing?" After learning the meaning of the big cat through Zi Yun's translation, Xu Ran's expression became strange, "Where is your beast master?"

Isn’t it usually the beast master who brings his pet beast to care for him?

Without a beastmaster, how could he take on this business?

"Meow~"

I don't have a beast master.

The big cat was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly.

Listening to Zi Yun's translation, Xu Ran's expression became even weirder.

If you don’t have a beast master, you can come to your home to wash and care for yourself?

This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

Let’s do a system appraisal first.

[Race name: Angry War Cat

Attribute: Fighting type

Growth level: Commander level

Body shape: medium

Washing and care needs: ★★★★☆

Evaluation: The process of conquering a king is more fulfilling than becoming a king. Use your dexterous hands to conquer this wandering king! Host! ]

What a mess of bad reviews and a wandering king...

Wait, there's no beast master? Wandering? !

"You are the cat boss?!"

Thinking of some possibility, Xu Ran's expression suddenly became tense.

He originally thought that the cat boss mentioned by the pink velvet pig yesterday was just a slightly stronger Transcendent-level pet beast, and the strongest one was only at the elite level.

But the cat boss in front of me is...

Commander level!

"Meow!" (It's you!)

Zi Yun's body suddenly tensed up.

At this moment, it remembered the source of that familiar feeling.

This guy in front of me has been seen from a distance once when he was a stray cat!

The powerful aura belonging to a high-level Transcendent creature almost suffocated it, which was still an ordinary stray cat at that time.

At that time, Zi Yun could not distinguish the growth level of Transcendent creatures very well. Now when he saw the other party again and felt that the other party was still superior to him, Zi Yun was sure that the other party's growth level had reached Commander level!

It is the leader of the wandering beasts in Qingzhou City!

Zi Yun recalled what she had heard about the past of this group of stray pets bullying other stray animals and even feeding on them, and the look in her eyes gradually became fierce.

This guy is very dangerous!

Just here to take care of yourself? It doesn’t believe it!

The power of the king slowly spread out invisibly and spread towards the cat boss.

Zi Yun's momentum surpassed the ordinary elite level and suddenly reached the extreme.

"Xilulu!"

Xingchen didn't know the situation, but when he saw Zi Yun's nervous look, he immediately attached Twilight Watch to him without hesitation.

The expression of the cat boss changed slightly.

Its gaze was somewhat solemn as it locked onto Zi Yun, who was suddenly facing him.

Although this was only an elite pet beast, it carried a powerful pressure that even made me feel palpitated.

However, this strength alone is not enough to threaten it.

The cat boss didn't get angry, he just slightly dispersed the momentum belonging to the leadership level, resisted Zi Yun's surpassing momentum, and stood quietly on the spot, confronting the two pet beasts.

"唳——"

Accompanied by the sharp roar of an eagle and the sound of breaking wind, the outside of the Star Fire Pet Store suddenly became dark. A huge golden eagle, exuding the authority of a leader, landed outside the foster care store, breaking the confrontation inside the store.

"Boss Xu, I'm here to deliver resources to you again." The commander-level beast master who delivered resources to Xu Ran last time laughed and walked into the store carrying a large alloy box. "It seems I'm here." Unfortunately, we have guests…”

After seeing the cat boss in the store clearly, the voice of the commander-level beast master suddenly stopped, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"You came just in time." Xu Ran turned around and glanced at the delivery expert who was meeting for the second time, and breathed a sigh of relief, "This commander-level beast has no beast master and is wandering in the city."

"I know." The commander-level beast master nodded slightly, "The beast master association is aware of this situation. Let your pet beast regain its momentum first."

Do you know?

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Beast Masters Association knew about it but had no intention of dealing with it, it meant that the threat posed by this group of wandering beasts was controllable.

He winked at Zi Yun, who was still nervous.

"Meow~" (Okay.)

Zi Yun slowly calmed down his momentum, and Xingchen dissipated the auxiliary effect of Dusk Watch with great discernment.

The stagnant atmosphere in the store quietly dissipated, and the strong beast master who delivered it placed the alloy box on the counter, "Boss Xu, please check and accept it."

Then, he walked straight to the cat boss, with a smile on his face, and patted his shoulder familiarly, "Why are you here?"

The cat boss seemed to know this beast master, his expression softened slightly, and he started to communicate with him with "meow, meow, meow" sounds.

Here, Xu Ran opened the alloy box and finished counting the resources that exuded strong energy fluctuations in the alloy box. When he looked up again and saw the man communicating cordially, his heart moved.

"Senior, the inventory has been completed and you can sign for it."

"Okay." The delivery expert handed over the receipt with a smile.

"It's the second time we meet, what do you call me, senior?" Xu Ran asked while signing for it.

"Zhang Henian." The strong man took back the receipt, took a look at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Uncle Zhang, do you know the cat boss?" Xu Ran asked the question he was most concerned about, "Why do commander-level pets wander?"

"Well..." Zhang Henian turned his head and glanced at the cat boss. When the cat boss nodded, he slowly spoke, "Actually, it was the pet animal of one of my late colleagues."

"The contract between the beast master and the pet beast, after one party dies, the other will not die, so once the beast master dies unexpectedly, the pet beast will regain its freedom."

"Boss Cat and my colleague had a very deep relationship, so after his accidental death, Boss Cat refused to contract with other commander-level beast masters and lived alone."

"In this case, the Beast Masters Association will observe it for a period of time and make sure that the cat boss has no tendency to pose a threat to human society, and then leave it alone."

"But, the command beast is so powerful, even if it leaves the beast master to live alone, it won't live on the streets, right?" Xu Ran glanced at the cat boss, still a little confused.

"It did this voluntarily." Zhang Henian spread his hands, "In a sense, it can be considered as contributing to the security of Qingzhou City."

"Contribute to public security?" Xu Ran thought thoughtfully.

"Before the cat boss appeared, the stray beasts in Qingzhou City had always been a headache for the Beast Masters Association."

Zhang Henian sighed slightly, "The origin of these wandering beasts is very complicated."

"Some of them are pet animals that were illegally operated by some pet animal breeding bases and were discarded because of defects."

"There are also some pet beasts that were weak and lacked the means to survive after the beastmaster died unexpectedly."

"In addition, there are also stray pet beasts that are the offspring of these pet beasts."

"These stray pets lack restraint, and some of them have aversion to humans."

"And they are very smart and know that if they threaten the lives of ordinary people, the association will make great efforts to eliminate them, so they never hurt people, only steal things."

“The association often receives complaints, but every time before the dispatched personnel arrive, they have disappeared. In the end, the association has to pay to compensate for the losses, and it ends hastily.”

"As time goes by, even the association has a headache for them."

"This..." Xu Ran's expression gradually became weird.

The former wandering pet beast actually looked like this?

"What happens after the cat boss comes?" He couldn't help but become curious.

"The changes can be said to be immediate." Zhang Henian laughed. "Without the resource input and training of the beast masters, it would be impossible for the wandering beasts to break through to the leadership level with the little gains from robbery."

"So the commander-level cat boss easily collected all the stray beasts." Zhang Henian glanced at the cat boss, "Since then, the number of robberies by stray beasts has decreased rapidly. It has been almost a year since there has been a robbery. Incident."

"In addition, stray beasts have become more friendly to humans. In recent months, five stray beasts have been contracted by beast masters, which was unimaginable before."

"Meow~"

Not five, but six! Contracted another one yesterday!

The cat boss stood aside and listened quietly to Zhang Henian talking about his own affairs. At this moment, he suddenly corrected him and his expression became slightly proud.

"Okay, that's six." Zhang Henian nodded, "In short, all this is thanks to the cat boss."

"So that's it." Xu Ran looked at the cat boss with a look of surprise, and his eyes were a little more friendly.

Zi Yun on the side no longer showed any hostility after hearing Boss Cat's experience.

Thinking about it carefully, what it heard from other wandering companions should be what the wandering pets did before the cat boss appeared.

This is obviously a misunderstanding.

"Meow~" (Sorry, I made a mistake!)

It lowered its head and took the initiative to apologize with some embarrassment.

"Meow~"

The cat boss shook his head, obviously not taking the incident to heart.

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved." Zhang Henian smiled, "In short, Boss Cat is trustworthy. Boss Xu, you don't have to worry too much."

"Meow~"

The cat boss suddenly made a few gestures towards Zhang Henian.

Although they were not his pet beasts, Zhang Henian was quite familiar with the cat boss and quickly guessed what the other party meant.

"Boss Xu, the cat boss wants to bring all the stray pets to your place for a bath and care." Zhang Henian patted the cat boss on the shoulder, "It asked me to help ask if I could get a discount. It didn't save so much money." Rich."

"Meow~"

The cat boss nodded and looked at Xu Ran expectantly.

"discount…"

Glancing at the cat boss, Xu Ran suddenly laughed and said, "The discount will be waived."

Before the cat boss's expression became disappointed, he slowly added, "Just waive the order."

"Meow?!"

Really?

The cat boss's eyes quickly lit up.

"Really?" Even Zhang Henian's expression became a little surprised.

There are quite a lot of stray beasts in Qingzhou City.

All bills are free, and Boss Xu will have to give up a lot of money.

"Not bad!" Xu Ran nodded seriously and spoke righteously, "In order to express our care for stray pets, Star Fire Pet Store, as a store with a sense of social responsibility, launches a free cleaning and care activity for stray pets!"

"All stray pets can come to the store for free care, not only now, but also in the future."

"I hope that the relationship between pet beasts and human society will become more harmonious as a result, and I also hope that more human beast masters will be willing to contract with these wandering pet beasts."

"Okay!" Zhang Henian couldn't help but applaud, and looked at Xu Ran with more admiration, "Boss Xu, your ideological consciousness is really too high."

“On behalf of the association, thank you for your hard work.”

"This is what I should do." Xu Ran showed a warm smile, and then suddenly changed his voice, "In this case, can the association report this matter in Qingzhou Daily to encourage everyone to care for stray pets?"

"It would be better if you could add a word about our newly launched sparring service."

"That's natural...eh?"

Zhang Henian blinked and looked confused.
