Chapter 217 Go home, little furball.

[Main mission 3: Innovate from the old and bring forth the new

Task description: Ask the host to open a branch in a secondary town and achieve a local popularity of 70% (40/70).

Task reward: System clerk x3, system upgrade experience +400]

"call--"

When he woke up early in the morning and saw the panel in front of him, Xu Ran took a breath and smiled happily, "I said, I got 40% today."

It has been ten days since Star Fire Pet Store's popularity reached 30%, and the store's popularity has finally reached the next level.

Seeing the progress bar that was already halfway through, Xu Ran had a feeling that he would be able to complete main task 3 soon.

"Let's go." Stretching, Xu Ran looked at the three little ones aside, "It's time to go down and prepare the first meal of the day for the residents."

Ten days have passed, and Star Fire Pet Store has gradually gained popularity, and its reputation has also improved significantly. It is no longer the store with an empty reputation before.

When mentioning this store, many people will have the impression that "it's expensive, but it's worth the money."

In addition, another impression is...

"The owner of this store is very strong, but he is a crooked profiteer."

Regarding this, Xu Ran was quite helpless.

Why can't he get rid of the name of profiteer?

This is complete slander!

Due to the increase in reputation, the business of the foster care shop is also booming, and more and more animal masters are fostering their pet animals here.

The number of residents in the foster care area has also increased from single digits at the beginning to double digits now, with a total of more than 30 animals.

"Dangdangdang——"

"dinner time!"

As the sound of banging spatulas and iron pots echoed in the foster care area, residents who had long been accustomed to the sound swarmed forward and quickly surrounded Xu Ran, quietly waiting for Xu Ran to distribute food to them.

The foster residents who received the food spread out in small groups according to the quality of their relationship, and each tasted the first delicious meal of the day. Even Zi Yun, Xingchen and Cancan were no exception.

Not far from the three little ones, there were three powerful commander-level beasts.

While they were eating their food, they communicated in low voices, and from time to time they would cast their eyes on the three little ones.

These are Fang Yuling's three pet beasts.

On the day Fang Yuling fostered them, the three little ones found them after completing their training. The two sides had many overt and covert contests in the past ten days, and they could be considered acquainted without fighting.

"Aggresive Furball, this is yours." Xu Ran handed the last piece of food to the aggressive Furball who was waiting quietly without making any noise, "You have to leave today."

"Roar!"

The aggressive furball took the food bowl with somewhat complicated emotions in his eyes.

There is expectation, timidity, and a bit of reluctance to leave this place.

In the end, these emotions were suppressed by the aggressive fur ball. It moved its body towards Xu Ran, and as usual, walked to a nearby corner and ate alone.

Looking away from the aggressive furball, Xu Ran picked up a bowl of hot dumplings and ate them wholeheartedly, his eyes flashing with thought.

Last night, Zhou Che, the boy who sent Fighting Furball to foster care, the son of Fighting Furball's beast master, Zhou Che, came over once and told Xu Ran the news that his father Zhou Tianwu had woken up, and hoped that Xu Ran would not tell him for the time being. Fighting hairballs.

It seems that there may be some twists and turns in the return of the aggressive furball.

I just hope things don't go in a bad direction.

after all…

Xu Ran glanced at the aggressive furball.

He is very aware of the changes in the aggressive furball these days.

After breakfast, Xu Ran returned to the first floor after clearing away the residents' food bowls.

Perhaps knowing that today was the day for the aggressive fur ball to leave, the three little ones uncharacteristically did not go into training directly after breakfast, but followed Xu Ran to the store on the first floor.

Opening the store, Zhou Che was standing outside the door.

Behind Zhou Che, there was a middle-aged man whose facial features were similar to his.

This middle-aged man has a resolute face, and many hideous scars can be vaguely seen on his exposed skin. He only has one foot, and the other foot is completely cut off from the middle of his thigh. His strong and strong hands support the crutches, maintaining his strength. Body balance.

There was not much color on his face, and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness. Xu Ran quickly realized his identity.

This is Zhou Tianwu, the aggressive fur ball beast master.

"Welcome." Xu Ran nodded towards the father and son, "Are you here to pick up the aggressive furball?"

"This..." Zhou Che's face showed a bit of entanglement and annoyance, and he said nothing.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Tianwu next to him who spoke in a deep voice at this moment, "Are you Boss Xu? I heard Xiao Che said that you are taking care of the little fur ball these days."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard, this is what I should do." Xu Ran shook his head slightly, "Are you going to catch the aggressive furball now?"

"Get it!" Unlike Zhou Che, Zhou Tianwu's tone was full of determination.

"Dad...those uncles are still at home!" After hearing Zhou Tianwu's words, Zhou Che felt anxious and spoke quickly.

Zhou Tianwu raised his other free hand and waved it in front of Zhou Che, "I know everything you said, but things always have to be faced."

"The little fur ball is my pet beast. If it does something wrong, I, as the beast master, must bear the responsibility with it!" Even though it lacked a bit of strength, Zhou Tianwu's voice seemed particularly sonorous and powerful at this moment.

After hearing Zhou Tianwu's firm words, Zhou Che stopped speaking.

Deep down in his heart, of course he also hopes that the aggressive fur ball can go home.

but…

Thinking of the uncles sitting at home at this moment, his expression was full of helplessness and entanglement.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran couldn't help but ask, "Are there any troubles for the aggressive furball when he returns home?"

"Let's talk as we walk." Zhou Che sighed and motioned for Xu Ran to lead the way, while he supported Zhou Tianwu and followed step by step.

When the three of them walked to the foster care area on the ground floor, Zhou Che also told Xu Ran completely about the situation.

It turns out that during this period, the other beast masters of Zhou Tianwu's hunting team had somehow blamed all the problems of the accident on the aggressive fur ball, believing that the losses and casualties they suffered were all due to the Caused by aggressive furball impulses.

It is true that the shortcomings of the aggressive furball were responsible for the accident, but it is definitely not all. Such post-event accountability is unfair to the aggressive furball.

In the past few days, Zhou Che had been arguing hard for Fei Qiu, but in the eyes of other beast masters in the hunting team, he was just a little kid who didn't understand anything, and his persistence was meaningless.

Just last night, Zhou Tianwu, who had been unconscious for half a month, finally woke up. Zhou Che was not happy for long. Early this morning, the beast masters of the hunting team came to his door.

They're looking for trouble with aggressive furballs.

This made Zhou Che, who was originally planning to take the aggressive fur ball back, full of hesitation and entanglement in his heart. He felt that it would be a better choice to let the aggressive fur ball be fostered for a while to avoid the limelight.

After learning about Zhou Che's struggles and aggressive furball situation, Zhou Tianwu resolutely dragged his body that had not fully recovered and followed him.

Unlike Zhou Che, Zhou Tianwu's attitude is very firm.

The aggressive fur ball is his pet animal. If he makes a mistake, he and the aggressive fur ball will bear the responsibility together.

After learning the whole story, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was not the Zhou family who chose to give up the aggressive furball, but it happened for a reason.

"Aggrieved Furball, right here." With the Zhou family and his son, Xu Ran stood in front of Aggressive Furball's living area.

"Little Maoqiu lives well. Boss Xu has taken a lot of trouble these days." Zhou Tianwu was grateful again, and then turned to look in the direction of the living area.

The aggressive furball, which had already sensed the approach of the beast master, was walking towards this side step by step.

Its pace was not fast. As it got closer to Zhou Tianwu, it even slowed down gradually, with a bit of anxiety.

"Little fur ball, I'll take you home!" Zhou Tianwu laughed, shook off Zhou Che who was supporting him, and limped forward on crutches.

Behind him, the six-pointed star array flashed with dazzling light.

In the strong wind, two other general-level pet beasts appeared, casting friendly glances at the aggressive furball.

Apparently, they no longer blame Scrappy Furball for the death of one of their companions in that accident.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing this scene, the aggressive furball's footsteps became faster and faster, and finally appeared in front of Zhou Tianwu. Its body was trembling, and big tears fell down.

"It's over, it's over." Feeling the constant feelings of self-blame coming from the aggressive furball, Zhou Tianwu's face became a little more sad, "Let's go home together, and we'll bear whatever happens together."

"Roar!"

What responded to him was the firm voice of the aggressive furball.

——

"Boss Xu, let's go back first."

Standing at the door of Star Fire Pet Store, Zhou Tianwu spoke again, "During this period, I really appreciate you taking care of the aggressive furball. His condition has improved a lot."

"This is what I should do." Xu Ran repeated again, and then paused, "But have you thought about what to do next?"

"Those who are looking for trouble are still in your house."

"I'm afraid, it's not that easy to deal with."

Hearing Xu Ran mention this issue, Zhou Tianwu's face darkened slightly.

He also had a huge headache about this.

The good brothers who had been through life and death were now like his enemies, as if they had completely forgotten the past of sharing weal and woe, and only wanted to kill the aggressive furball and avenge the death of their pet beast.

But no matter what, there is one thing Zhou Tianwu is sure of.

That is, he can pay any price to make up for these good brothers in the past, but he will never let them hurt his family in the slightest.

And the pet beasts are also his family.

Seeing Zhou Tianwu's gloomy expression, Xu Ran understood.

He reached out and patted Zhou Tianwu's shoulder gently.

"Uncle Zhou, go back with peace of mind." Xu Ran smiled and said, "I promise, your troubles will be solved."

"I hope so." Zhou Tianwu sighed, turned around and left with Zhou Che and the three pet beasts.

Watching them go away, Xu Ran silently took out the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Fang Yuling? Feisty Furball is back home."

There will be a third update tonight, go ahead!
