Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 206 Winning a bet that seems not to have been won

"How long has that profiteer boss been in here?"

"It's been almost half an hour, right?"

The melon-eating crowd waiting in front of the current leader-level beast master's pet beast team's strength list looked at each other and talked a lot.

The time it takes to rush the list depends on the specific situation of the list, but generally, the sprint for the pet beast team's power list will not take such a long time.

So...what exactly happened in Test Area C02?

"Give way, give way."

A slightly arrogant voice temporarily silenced the surrounding melon-eating crowd. The crowd was pushed into a channel by invisible forces. Soon, two figures stepped forward from the back of the crowd and appeared at the front of the list.

Faced with such arrogant queuing behavior, no one in the venue expressed anger or dissatisfaction, because the two people who came were no strangers to them.

Standing further forward is a bald young man. His figure is not very tall, but his strong body and strong facial features, combined with an obvious and ferocious scar on his bald head, make him quite difficult to mess with.

The moment they saw him, a small group of people in the crowd couldn't help but cast their eyes on the current No. 2 position on the beast master's beast team's strength list.

"2nd place, Qucheng, pet team strength: 341239"

In addition to having an extremely high ranking on the list in front of him, the bald man in front of him is also ranked third in the current overall combat power list of commander-level beast masters.

Xu Ran's ranking after entering the rankings yesterday is just below him, and the gap with him is not big.

The man standing behind him had a younger face. His forehead was restrained by a hairband, causing the hair to blow back, just like an afro.

It was him who spoke just now.

Such a flamboyant hairstyle is indistinguishable from his slightly arrogant voice, and his strength is worthy of this flamboyance.

"3rd place, Mu Yunchao, pet team strength: 330276"

The third person on the list in front of me is this person.

And his ranking on the overall combat power list is even higher, currently ranked No. 2 on the list.

Mu Yunchao and Qu Cheng ranked closely next to each other on the two lists, and the competition was fierce, but they did not know each other in life and had a very good relationship.

It is common for two people to travel together.

Now that they appear here, everyone seems to be able to guess their purpose.

"I heard that there is a new guy who is very powerful recently." Mu Yunchao chuckled and looked at the people eating melons around him, "Is he in C02?"

After receiving a positive reply from the crowd, Mu Yunchao crossed his arms and arched his shoulders at Qu Cheng, "Do you think he is stronger than the two of us?"

"Let's see." Compared to Mu Yunchao, Qu Cheng seemed more stable. At this moment, he looked at the list in front of him and slowly said, "He rushed to the 4th place in the overall combat power list. If nothing else, the pet beast team The combat power list should also be at this position.”

"Okay, let's take a look." Mu Yunchao shrugged, and then suddenly said, "Speaking of which, my skyscraper marionette's strength has improved a lot in recent times, and its ranking on the pet team list may be improved. Overtaking you."

"You have said this many times." Qu Cheng smiled calmly, "Let's talk about it later. My three pet beasts are not vegetarians. They should soon exceed the 350,000 team strength."

The two of them exchanged words with each other, but what they said shocked the people around them.

They have already reached this point, and their strength can actually improve at such a rapid speed. The backs of ordinary beast masters like them can't even be seen by the big guys on these rankings.

"clang--"

A steady and powerful bell sounded throughout the entire Beast Control List area.

The exchange between Mu Yunchao and Qu Cheng temporarily stopped, and the whispers around them also stopped abruptly. After a brief pause, everyone looked at the pet beast team strength list that began to shine in front of them.

After staying at the testing site for more than half an hour, the newcomer who has been making a lot of noise during this period has finally completed his ranking?

As the 500th place sadly dropped off the list, on the towering list, all the way up from the 499th place, the rankings that were about to change were highlighted one after another.

The 300th place... the 200th place... the 100th place... the 50th place...

Until the tenth place came up, everyone gathered closely in front of the list was not too surprised. After all, Xu Ran had already reached fourth place in the overall strength list yesterday.

According to the usual rules, there is a high probability that he will stay at this ranking on the pet beast team's strength list.

But soon, everyone's calm expression disappeared.

Because after the fourth place lit up, the third place also lit up.

For a time, countless people looked at Mu Yunchao.

"Rather than catching up with me, you should think about how to recover your ranking first." After waiting quietly for a moment to make sure that his second place would not light up, Qu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Mu Yunchao said with a hint of smile in his voice.

Mu Yunchao: "..."

Seeing that his ranking dropped to fourth and was replaced by a brand new name, his expression suddenly became a little depressed.

"Wait." Mu Yunchao raised his head and looked at the text at the top of the big screen carefully.

"3rd place, Star Fire Pet Store, pet team strength: 337742"

"The difference in combat power is only a few thousand. I will overtake him in a moment." He hummed and walked towards area C02.

But the next moment his steps stopped.

The crowd made a way at this moment, and Xu Ran came to the list from area C02 with the three little ones looking tired.

The hard battle for more than half an hour was no small test for the three little ones.

Fortunately, Cancan and Xingchen have endurance skills, but for Zi Yun, such a long-term all-out battle is almost impossible.

The reason why we can fight for such a long time today is inseparable from Xingchen's good luck.

It seems that because he is particularly compatible with the skill of Fate Chain, Xingchen successfully obtained the three-star skill contained in it on the first day he obtained the Fate Necklace.

Therefore, it became the first among the three little ones to obtain skills from the resources of the monarch class.

Because of this skill, during today's battle, Xingchen extracted all his and Cancan's power and transferred it into Zi Yun's body, providing strong endurance for Zi Yun's explosive output.

If it weren't for the fact that the proficiency of Chain of Fate is still at the star crumb level and the output power has certain limitations, they can continue to fight for a longer time.

The ability to continue fighting is obviously one of the criteria for measuring combat power.

Therefore, the results of the three little ones today are even better.

"Third place..." Xu Ran, who walked to the list without paying attention to the situation of others around him, saw the ranking and nodded with satisfaction.

He saw all the hard work of the three little ones, and Xu Ran was also gratified that they had achieved such a ranking.

Then, his eyes moved, and he seemed to find something interesting.

The two people in front of him and behind him seemed to be the two people who were ahead of him on the overall strength list yesterday.

If he hadn't made the list, then the two of them would have been ranked next to each other on the list in front of him.

so…

"This Mu Yunchao and Qu Cheng..." Xu Ran touched his chin and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Isn't it a good idea for me to separate them?"

Xu Ran's voice is not loud, but it is definitely not quiet either.

For a moment, everyone in the venue fell into a strange silence after hearing this, and many of them looked at the two parties who were inexplicably mentioned.

"You guy!" Mu Yunchao glared and pointed at Xu Ran with one finger, "Wait, I'll overtake you right now!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the C02 test site with a step of disowning his relatives.

"This..." Xu Ran blinked, a little confused.

The next moment, a hand stretched out in front of him.

"This is our first meeting. My name is Qu Cheng, and that was Mu Yunchao just now." Qu Cheng chuckled.

ah?

Only then did Xu Ran realize that the two people he had named were actually present. He stretched out his hand and shook Qu Cheng's hand awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't recognize them."

"Nothing." Qu Cheng waved his hand nonchalantly, "But Yun Chao has a very competitive personality. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to maintain your position as the third player."

"Really? Let's take a look."

Xu Ran glanced in the direction of area C02.

The combat power of the two is quite close, but it is possible that the other party can surpass him.

But even if he is temporarily surpassed, he is confident that he can surpass the opponent again.

Soon after, a low bell rang.

The rankings of Mu Yunchao and Xu Ran were highlighted at the same time, and then they swapped in front of everyone. Xu Ran, who had just climbed to third place, fell back to fourth place.

"3rd place, Mu Yunchao, pet team strength: 339233"

"4th place, Star Fire Pet Store, pet team strength: 337742"

Soon, the high-spirited Mu Yun came back and glanced at Xu Ran with a proud look, "If you want to surpass me, you have to work harder!"

Seeing that the ranking they had just worked so hard to achieve was suppressed in an instant, the faces of the three little ones all had a look of unwillingness to admit defeat. They wanted to regain the ranking immediately, but they were unable to do so.

Not to mention that the three little ones are already exhausted at the moment, and the side effects of Zi Yun's scarlet fighting spirit have not completely disappeared, so the fighting power is temporarily unavailable.

Xu Ran touched his chin and looked at Mu Yunchao, whose eyes were a bit inviting, "In that case, I will come again at this time tomorrow."

"Come on! I'm afraid of you!" Mu Yun was excited.

After Qucheng, he finally found another opponent who could compete with him, which made Mu Yunchao, who had always been perverse and fond of fighting, look forward to it.

"The rankings will be settled the day after tomorrow. I want to see if you can surpass me!"

"That's it." Xu Ran smiled, then thought about some past events, and asked, "How about making a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Mu Yunchao chuckled, "Let's talk about it."

"If I win, come to my store ten times for cleaning." Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Just tell me what to do if you lose!" Mu Yunchao was quite confident that he would be able to hold on to the list tomorrow, so he spoke directly at this moment.

"If I lose, you can come to my store ten times for free." Xu Ran said without hesitation.

During Mu Yunchao's testing process, he learned some information about the opponent's pet beasts from the chats of the people eating melons nearby.

Mu Yunchao has a super-powered pet beast called the Sky Marionette, which is the strongest among his three pet beasts. It has a skill called shapeshifting.

This skill is not a super skill, but has no attributes.

But Xu Ran did not find this skill among the redeemable three-star general skills, which means that it is a special skill.

The effect of apparating is very simple, but also very exciting, that is, you can instantly swap places with the designated object.

Mu Yunchao's ability to achieve a higher ranking in the overall combat power list than in the pet team list is closely related to this skill.

Because he can swap positions with the Ferris Marionette at any time, Mu Yunchao will not only not become a drag on the team when participating in the battle, but can also make the overall coordination more diverse.

If the three little ones can master this skill, the ways of cooperation between them can be more diverse.

So, we have to find a way to get it.

"This bet of yours..." Mu Yunchao's expression became a little strange.

No matter whether he wins or loses, he has to go to his shop ten times for cleaning and care. The only difference is that he spends money and treats the other party?

Why does it feel weird?

I have the illusion that even if I win, I actually lose...

"What's the price for your store's cleaning services?" Mu Yunchao asked tentatively.

"Small pet care, 6666/time; medium-sized pet care, 26666/time; large pet care, 66666/time; super large pet care, 266666/time." Xu Ran reported with a smile. Give a price.

For a moment, there was noisy discussion in the venue.

Not everyone knows the exact situation of Star Fire Pet Store. Even if they vaguely heard that the price is very expensive, it is still unclear how expensive it is.

This was the first time for most people in the audience to know about Star Fire Pet Store’s cleaning and care prices.

This price is almost twice that of the best cleaning and care services in Qieyun City.

"It's a bet!"

Mu Yunchao calculated in his mind and then spoke with determination.

If I win, I can earn hundreds of thousands in total.

Although it is not much to him, the bet is additional.

He has secured this third place, and no one can take it away!

"See you tomorrow, farewell." After receiving a positive reply from the other party, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly left with the three little ones.

You have to decide the opponent's skills yourself! ——

"dinner time!"

On the basement floor of the Star Fire Pet Store, Xu Ran took out the food bowls he had prepared and distributed them to the six residents who rushed up to him.

In addition to the three pets fostered yesterday, Star Fire Pet Store has three new residents today.

They come from the same commander-level beast master. Due to his own reasons, that beast master temporarily needs to foster the pet beast for one day.

Originally, he planned to foster the pet beast in the Emperor's Nursing Home, which has the best foster care environment in Jieyun City.

But as luck would have it, today he happened to see the scene where the owner of the Emperor's Foster Care Store was thrown out. On a whim, he inspected the foster care environment of Star Fire Pet Store and was shocked. He decisively chose to foster the pets here.

Although they were only fostered for one day, Xu Ran's service would not be compromised in the slightest. After the three new residents had a good meal, each of them returned to their respective resting areas with great energy and howled like ghosts.

"Roar~"

The aggressive furball put the clean food bowl in Xu Ran's hand, nodded towards him to express his gratitude, then turned and left.

Looking at the other party's back, Xu Ran touched his chin.

It feels like the aggressive furball has become calmer today.
