Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 268 Cancan’s social death and Raccoon’s revenge (two in one)

As Liu Yu made it clear that he would honor the bet, and then turned around and left because he couldn't shame it, the bet that attracted a small amount of attention came to an end.

After confirming that Xu Ran could not care for their pet today, the excited onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only a few people.

"Boss Xu, thank you so much for today." Zhou Hong scanned the QR code to pay with excitement, "I won't say much else. From now on, in the field of skin care, I will definitely choose your store." Got it!"

"Our other services are also very good, you can try them together." Xu Ran responded with a smile.

"Haha, those who have no demand for the time being, will definitely do so in the future!" Zhou Hong scratched his head and showed an embarrassed smile, "Okay, Liondramon, let's..."

He turned to look at Liondramon, only to find a man who was familiar to him standing next to Liondramon.

It was a man wearing half-rimmed glasses who looked quite elegant. At this moment, he was getting close to the body of the lion dragon, and occasionally stretched out his hand to brush the soft hair of the lion dragon twice to see more details.

Liondramon, who has a stable personality, looked at his beast master with helpless eyes at this moment, signaling him to come and rescue him quickly.

"Boss Liu, what are you..." Zhou Hong couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Liu Fengyun, who was immersed in observing the state of the lion dragon's fur, suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized how rude his behavior just now was, "Boss Xu's washing skills are indeed very powerful. , made me a little fascinated.”

"Who is this?" Hearing Liu Fengyun's words, Xu Ran looked at Zhou Hong curiously.

"This is Boss Liu from Fengyun Nursing Home." Zhou Hong laughed, "I've been to their shop before, so I know them."

"Speaking of which, Boss Liu, like Boss Xu, is also a foster care shop that moved from other places."

"Oh?" Xu Ran's eyes narrowed, and there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

"Boss Xu, this is the first time we meet, I am Liu Fengyun." Liu Fengyun stretched out a hand towards Xu Ran, "from Xuanxing City."

"Hello, Boss Liu." Xu Ran also stretched out a hand to shake the other person's hand, "Nice to meet you."

Xuanxing City...

He had vaguely heard of this second-level town.

It is said that countless stars shine in the night sky of this important town every night, which is extremely beautiful, but this kind of starlight cannot be seen once you leave the city.

"It can be seen that Boss Xu is very busy today." After taking a look at the raccoon group outside the store, Liu Fengyun smiled slightly and released his clasped hands, "Then I won't disturb Boss Xu's business for now."

"When I have time in the future, I'll come back and ask for advice."

"welcome any time."

After sending Liu Fengyun and Zhou Hong away, Xu Ran quickly walked to the Dihuixiong clan who had been waiting outside the store, and looked at the leader of the Dihuixiong clan, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Lu~"

Didn't have to wait long.

The leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan shook his head slightly, indicating that this was nothing.

Because of past experiences, even now, it is still somewhat wary of humans. Seeing so many humans standing in Xu Ran's store before, it took the initiative to lead other members of the raccoon clan to wait outside the store. .

Although other members of the raccoon clan do not understand its behavior, it will not explain too much.

"The ground raccoons that need to be cared for can now enter the store." Xu Ran said with a smile, and then casually grabbed a ground raccoon that had obviously just been cared for yesterday, "The ones that were cared for yesterday cannot be washed again!"

"Lu~"

The captured ground raccoon stuck out its tongue cutely, and then stood obediently outside the store under the death gaze of the ground raccoon clan leader.

"Lu~"

The cleaned ones are waiting outside!

The leader of the Dihuxiong clan said something, and then followed him into the store.

As the leader of the clan, it did not receive care yesterday.

In fact, even today, it still plans to do the last cleaning.

Walking into the foster care shop, the head of the raccoon clan suddenly sniffed.

For a moment, it noticed a very familiar aura that made it feel extremely threatening.

And the source of that breath...

The leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan looked left and right, and quickly locked his eyes on a golden dragon turtle that was sneaking up the stairs.

In an instant, this miniature dragon turtle faced off against the terrifying general-level creature it had encountered with its group in the depths of the earth yesterday.

"chatter?!"

It's you? !

The leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan couldn't help but let out a low cry, while a strong look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

Although it left yesterday, it clearly felt that the other party wanted to continue pursuing it.

This made it feel lucky to have escaped with its tribe back to the ethnic gathering area.

Unexpectedly, at this moment in the Star Fire Pet Store, it actually saw each other again.

Why is this scary guy in the Star Fire Pet Store?

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through the head of the Earth Raccoon Clan Leader.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the exclamation of the leader of the raccoon clan, Xu Ran followed its gaze in surprise, and soon saw Cancan whose movements were slightly stiff, "Cancan?"

"Cha~" (No... nothing!)

Cancan shook his head violently and grinned awkwardly.

In order to accompany Xu Ran in the bet just now, it has not gone to the training area to train, and has completely forgotten that the raccoon clan will come to take care of it today.

Yesterday, I encountered the other party outside the city. When I saw the other party again now, it suddenly felt like a dead animal.

Damn it... I'm a step too slow!

"Huh?" Seeing Cancan's strange behavior, Xu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

It doesn't look like anything is going on...

Thinking of this, Xu Ran suddenly remembered that the time when the raccoon clan left the store and headed out of the city yesterday happened to be around the same time as Cancan and Xingchen came back from outside the city.

so…

"What happened at the end of business yesterday?"

"Cha?!" (How do you know?!)

Hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, Cancan's golden eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

I didn’t say anything! How did Xu Ran guess it?

Seeing Cancan's appearance, Xu Ran felt confident, so he turned to look at Xingchen who couldn't bear to look at Cancan.

"Xi Lv~" (This is what happened...)

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Xu Ran, Xingchen shook his head, and then briefly told about the raccoon clan he bumped into on the way back yesterday, and after scaring them away, Cancan wanted to chase them and scare them.

After listening, Xu Ran and Zi Yun, who was watching the show, both looked strange.

This little guy Cancan... once he got outside the city, he let himself go.

"Okay Cancan, apologize to me!" After knowing the whole story, Xu Ran said angrily and funny.

"Cha~" (I'm sorry~)

Cancan blinked his eyes, walked up to the leader of the raccoon clan honestly, and spoke in a low voice.

"Lu~"

it's okay no problem.

Knowing the whole story, the leader of the raccoon clan shook his paw with a bit of confusion.

This is the first time it has accepted an apology for the existence of a hierarchy of generals.

For a time, the raccoon leader had a more favorable impression of Star Fire Pet Store.

"chatter!"

Reciprocating the favor, it waved its paw towards the raccoons waiting to be cared for in the store, telling them to line up one by one and be honest.

The fluffy ground raccoons quickly lined up in a long line. One by one, they came forward and took out the azurite stones they prepared, placed them on the counter, and then waited for Xu Ran to wash and care for them. This scene looked quite happy.

Seeing this, the three little ones knew that the store no longer needed their help, so they went upstairs together to their respective training areas for a new day of training.

"Then let's get started." Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran patted a ground raccoon standing at the front of the team and motioned for it to follow.

A man and an animal entered the nursing room. Not long after, a raccoon made a strange sound coming from the nursing room.

"Lu~~~"

——

"Wow--"

"Framedang——"

A series of smashing sounds were faintly heard from the closed Huanyu Nursing Store.

In the store, each clerk looked at Liu Yu in silence as he kept smashing things, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Liu Yu stopped what he was doing. He panted heavily and slowly placed his favorite ceramic vase on the table. He pointed at the various shredded papers and plastic products on the ground and said, "Put these things away." .”

"Yes." A clerk walked out quickly and began to neatly clean up the mess on the ground.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Among the clerks, a young man who seemed to have a higher status walked up to Liu Yu, with a worried look on his face, "Do we really want to follow the bet?"

"If that's the case, the customer flow of our Huanyu foster care store will gradually be divided by the other party..."

"I know!" Liu Yu rubbed his aching forehead, "But with so many people watching, if I cheat directly, the reputation of Huanyu Nursing Home will be completely ruined!"

Thinking of Liu Fengyun who was standing in the crowd watching the fun and stabbed his weak point with a sudden sentence, Liu Yu's eyes became a little more gloomy.

These out-of-town foster care shops really don’t have any fuel-saving lights.

He had no doubt that if he had not fulfilled his promise at that time, Liu Fengyun would have caused the incident to spread throughout Yaomu City and completely discredit the Huanyu Nursing Home.

Therefore, he had no choice but to say that he would honor the bet at that time.

Thinking of the consequences of fulfilling the bet, Liu Yu couldn't help but want to slap himself.

If you don't gamble at the beginning, nothing will happen.

such a pity…

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu tried his best to regain his previous calm expression, "Zhang Tianhe."

"I'm here." The young man with a higher status said in a deep voice, "Boss, what are your orders?"

"First of all, cancel all the nursing services at Huanyu Nursing Home." Liu Yu paused slightly, "Renovate the nursing room into other uses."

"Just think that Huanyu Nursing Home has never provided cleaning services."

"...Okay!" Zhang Tianhe thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.

He already understood Liu Yu's intention of doing this.

At this moment, there are still a few people who know about this.

Even because the cleaning and care services at Huanyu Nursing Home are available during a long period of time, the vast majority of customers are also unaware of this matter.

Since the bet stipulates that the Huanyu Nursing Store will not be involved in cleaning and care from now on, then we should follow the trend and completely eliminate the traces of the cleaning and care services of the Huanyu Nursing Store.

Through such cold treatment, previous guests can be retained as much as possible.

As expected of a boss, at such a critical moment, he can think of the best stop-loss plan!

"Second..." Liu Yu paused again, and at the same time there was a bit of coldness in his eyes, "put a notice outside our Huanyu foster care store."

"The content of the notice is a list of nursing care shops in Yaomu City that offer cleaning services. It tells our customers that our store does not plan to offer cleaning services. If customers have cleaning needs, they can go to these stores for cleaning services."

At this point, Liu Yu hummed, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes, "The bet is that our Huanyu Nursing Store will recommend customers to Star Fire Pet Store."

“But it doesn’t say we can only refer guests to the Star Fire Pet Store.”

"What I did is not considered a violation of the bet."

"Yes!" Zhang Tianhe nodded heavily, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

As expected of Boss Liu!

Although he was a little impulsive in his previous bet, he still showed such a powerful plan in the current store management crisis.

If you only recommend customers to Star Fire Pet Store, in addition to directing all customer traffic to the other party and benefiting the other party greatly, more and more people will know about this bet.

“Why do you only recommend Star Fire Pet Store?”

"Because I lost the bet."

"What kind of bet is it?"

“…”

While recommending all stores, this will not cause such problems.

After all, Huanyu Nursing Home does not have cleaning services anymore. It is reasonable and reasonable to share the worries of customers. It is fair and just to list all the nursing homes that offer cleaning services.

"That's right." A sharp light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, "Call those local stores that offer cleaning services and see if we can give them a discount and give them a profit, and together we can target foster care stores in other places. .”

"In this way, it will be said to the outside world that we have obtained discounts on washing and care for our customers, which can also play a certain role in restoring our reputation."

"Also, put Star Fire Pet Store at the end of the recommended list..." Liu Yu paused slightly, then changed his words, "No, this is a bit deliberate and not beautiful. Let's put it third from the bottom."

"Yes!" Zhang Tianhe nodded heavily, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

A good move can kill many birds with one stone.

Soon, chaotic sounds came from inside the Huanyu Nursing Store.

The newly built nursing room had all traces of nursing wiped away in a very short period of time and was transformed into a small training room.

All content related to washing and care in the store has also disappeared.

After reopening for business, there is a rather conspicuous notice outside the door of Huanyu Nursing Store.

[To all distinguished guests]

[Due to the recent shortage of Xuanmu Lu, the demand for pet care has become extremely high. Many customers have asked whether our store has similar services. Here is a unified reply.

In order to focus on pet care and training services and provide customers with better service quality, our store has no plans to launch washing and care services. We hope for your understanding.

To make up for this, our store has listed a list of nursing care shops with cleaning and care services in Yaomu City, and has reached cooperation with some of these nursing care shops. Members of our store can enjoy discounted cleaning and care services at the corresponding stores.

The following is a list of corresponding foster care shops:

…

…

… ]

Standing in front of the notice posted at his home, after reading every word carefully, Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, then looked far away in the direction of Star Fire Pet Store and sneered.

Want to use our Huanyu Nursing Home as a stepping stone?

You are still young! ——

"Huh~"

Stretching, Xu Ran looked at the brand new raccoons in the store, whose appearance had been greatly improved. Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the last member of the raccoon group who had not received care.

The leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan.

"Chief of the Earth Raccoon Clan, it's your turn."

"Lu~"

good.

The leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan nodded slightly, a trace of nervousness flashing deep in his eyes.

It has never been so close to humans, and it has never allowed humans to protect itself.

After all, before it followed its tribe to migrate to the Yaomu Domain, humans had killed many of its tribesmen, and its tribesmen had also killed many humans. The two sides were mortal enemies.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan hesitated a little.

New text content also popped up in the system appraisal in front of Xu Ran.

[Racial Name: Ground Coon

Attribute: Earth type

Growth level: Commander level

Body shape: medium

Washing and care needs: ★★★★☆

Comment: The past memory of mutual hatred is an inescapable shackle in its heart. Please let cleaning and care become the key to unlock the shackles, and use your hands to bring pleasure to it! ]

Um?

Seeing the system's evaluation of the Earth Raccoon Clan Leader, Xu Ran was slightly startled.

He would use the system to identify every raccoon before. Compared with other carefree raccoon clan members, the leader in front of him seemed a little different...

He couldn't help but take another look at the raccoon clan leader, and then said softly, "Please follow me."

No matter what, just wash it!

Thinking of this, Xu Ran turned around again and walked into the bathroom.

The head of the Dihuxiong clan looked at Xu Ran's back in silence.

It wasn't until Xu Ran was about to enter the bathroom that it shook its head and followed quickly.

The bathroom door closed quietly.

In the bathroom, the raccoon leader became obviously more nervous.

"Don't worry, the cleaning process is very easy." Xu Ran tried to speak in a gentle tone, "You have heard the sounds of your tribe before, right?"

The leader of the Earth Raccoon clan nodded.

Every raccoon that entered the washroom for washing made a very relaxed sound. Although it was a bit weird, this weirdness was also because it was too comfortable.

Washing and caring shouldn’t be too scary.

Thinking of this, the tense nerves of the Earth Raccoon Clan Leader relaxed a little.

"Come, lie down here." Xu Ran, the leader of the Raccoon Clan who was always paying attention, was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the other party's mood and pointed to the sink beside him.

After adjusting the raccoon patriarch's posture, he began to make preparations before washing in an orderly manner.

Soon, the prepared bath liquid passed through the shower head, and gently showered with just the right water temperature on the slightly older but still strong body of the raccoon leader.

The warm water fully soaks into every rough and long hair on its body, and then goes deep into the hair roots and hair follicles along the gaps of the hair, bringing deep nourishment, and at the same time bringing comfort to the tight and tired body of the raccoon leader. for a warm and soothing feeling.

The raccoon leader's expression, which was wrinkled due to nervousness, slowly relaxed at this moment. At this moment, he felt a much more thorough comfort than washing his body with a stream in the wild.

The only one who can compare with this feeling is Xuan Mu Lu, right?

Thinking of this, the leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan became more understanding of the strange voices of his previous tribesmen.

But obviously, it understood a little too early.

Because after fully rinsing, Xu Ran gently pressed one of his hands on the body of the Di Raccoon Clan Leader.

Being touched by a human made the raccoon subconsciously on guard, its body tightened uncontrollably, and the ferocious aura of the leader-level Transcendent creature could not help but escape.

However, after a while, realizing that the human in front of him wanted to cleanse himself, the raccoon quickly calmed down and tried to relax his tense body.

It seems that the system's evaluation is indeed correct, but I don't know the reason why the raccoon leader is in this situation.

Noticing this scene, Xu Ran thought to himself, patiently waiting until the other party relaxed again, and then the hand on the raccoon leader began to move.

As the whipped shampoo was washed along the back from the back of the head to the tail vertebrae, Xu Ran's hands began to rub and massage, opening up every inch of the hair that was closely together, so that the shampoo could better flow along the hair. Penetration through gaps.

Immediately afterwards, his hand movements changed and he began to perform techniques.

As Xu Ran sometimes gently and sometimes hard massages different parts, promoting the energy flow of the hair and epidermis, allowing the nutrients in the bath and shampoo to be more fully absorbed, the eyes of the Dihuxiong Clan leader slowly opened at this moment. big.

It felt a strange feeling that it had never had before, as if every hair follicle was being massaged, giving it a slight tingling sensation as if being passed through by a tiny electric current. The weird feeling of comfort made its body follow Xu Ran's massage. The rubbing rhythm was shaking uncontrollably.

The eyes of the leader of the Earth Raccoon Clan were a little more confused.

It felt as if its body had lost the heaviness and stability that an earth-type beast should have, and became erratic and light, as if it was about to fly into the sky.

At this moment, it forgot the shadow of hatred between humans and wild Transcendent creatures, forgot all the past and worries, and only had a great sense of joy filling its heart.

A strange, uncontrollable sound was forced out of its throat.

"Lu~~~"

At this moment, it is lost.

——

"see you next time!"

In front of the store, Xu Ran waved to the group of ground raccoons with a smile on his face.

Although there are no Pleasure Points in his account, he can still feel the joy from the bottom of his heart when he cares for these wild Transcendent creatures, and therefore feels pleasure and happiness.

"Lu~"

We will definitely come back!

Standing at the front of the raccoon clan, the leader of the raccoon clan nodded heavily.

After this time of washing and care, it has become completely obsessed with the pleasant feeling. At the same time, Xu Ran has opened a gap in its heart against human beings.

At least, it will no longer avoid contact with humans as much as possible like in the past.

After waving towards Xu Ran, the raccoon family reluctantly turned around and left, quickly disappearing.

Putting down his waving hand, Xu Ran turned to look at the three little ones behind him, "Okay, business is over, we should..."

"Excuse me, Boss Xu."

Not far away, a slightly familiar voice came.

Xu Ran looked around and soon saw a gentle man wearing glasses.

He still had the impression that the other party was the owner of a foster care shop called Fengyun Foster Care Shop.

"Boss Liu, why are you here?" Xu Ran walked up to greet him with a smile. When he got closer, he found that the other person's expression seemed a little unpleasant.

"Huanyu Nursing Home has posted a notice at the door of the store." Liu Fengyun said slowly.

"Oh? The bet was fulfilled?" Xu Ran's eyes lit up, and his face became a little more happy, "I didn't expect them to be so fast."

With the traffic from Huanyu Nursing Store, the popularity of Star Fire Pet Store will definitely increase a lot!

"No, things may be a little different from what you imagined, Boss Xu." Looking at the joy on Xu Ran's face, Liu Fengyun shook his head slightly, then took out a photo and handed it to Xu Ran, "Boss Xu, take a look for yourself .”

"Huh?" Xu Ran looked a little suspicious and took the photo and looked at it.

The photo shows a well-decorated store with the words "Huanyu Foster Care Store" written on it.

Obviously, this is the entrance of Huanyu Nursing Store.

Soon, Xu Ran's eyes fell on the eye-catching notice in the photo.

The words on the notice appeared, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The other party fulfilled everything in the bet, but it was completely different from what he expected.

As a result, the benefits that Star Fire Pet Store can gain are minimal, and the expected significant increase in popularity will be difficult to achieve.

"This Boss Liu..." Xu Ran opened his mouth, and finally a look of helplessness appeared on his face, "You are really cunning."

"That's right." Liu Fengyun also had a bit of sadness on his face, "Moreover, this guy also took the opportunity to unite with local foster care stores to suppress our out-of-town foster care stores."

"Although we foster care shops from out of town are here at the invitation of the association, it is impossible for the association to support us in such a business competition."

"In other words, if we lose even this kind of business competition, then there will be no value in being supported by the association."

"So Boss Xu..." Liu Fengyun turned his head and looked at Xu Ran, "I can see that you have real skills."

"In fact, most of the foster care shops that can be invited to open a shop in Yaomu City are quite skilled."

"So, should we join forces and do something big?"

——

"Lululu~"

"Lulu~"

In the raccoon racial gathering area, the raccoons were cheering and dancing, playing with each other.

Among their kind, this is a method of celebration.

What needs to be celebrated today is undoubtedly that members of all races have received baptism and become brand new.

However, among the carnival of ground raccoons, there were also a few other figures mixed in.

They were several rat-like beasts covered with solid rock scales.

The earth system territorial race, earth rock rat.

They have a very good relationship with the raccoon clan. They happened to be passing by this time and were invited to come.

Seeing the ground raccoons that seemed to have been reborn, these rock rats kept whispering and making "squeaking" sounds with strong curiosity in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the raccoon clan, who was sitting on a big stone, flashed his eyes, jumped down from the stone, and walked towards them step by step.
