Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 281 The surprise prepared by the three little ones

"This is Yaomu City."

In the empty foster care shop, Xu Ran spread a large piece of paper on the table, holding a pen in his hand, and quickly drew a circle in the middle of the paper.

"According to yesterday's search, the resting place of Dream Chaser Apostle and Thunder God Silent Dragon should be here." Xu Ran touched his chin and quickly made a mark somewhere outside Yaomu City based on the memory of yesterday's journey. .

"Xilu~" (This location is southwest of Yaomu City.)

Xingchen raised his head and looked outside the store at the faint starlight that sparsely appeared in the sky as the sky became dim. He quickly judged the spatial relationship between the location of Xu Ran's big mark and Yaomu City.

"Meow..." (so its southwest direction...)

A cautious look appeared on Zi Yun's face. His eyes moved to the southwest along the marked position and soon touched a shallow line.

That was what Xu Ran originally drew on paper, the boundary of the Demonic Wood Domain.

"If what the Thunder God Silent Dragon was looking at before it fell was really the location where the Extinction Thunder Yin existed, then the Extinction Thunder Yin was probably outside the scope of the Demonic Wood Domain." Xu Ran's expression was quite complicated.

Good news, there is new progress in the clues to the Extinction Thunder.

Bad news, the place where the Extermination Thunder is located is likely to be full of dangers.

The stability and peace outside Yaomu City only exist within the scope of Yaomu Domain.

After walking out of the Demonic Wood Domain and leaving the sphere of influence of the Beast Emperor's Sky Black Wood, Xu Ran and the three little ones will enter the beast domain that is full of dangers.

Such a danger must be dealt with cautiously, even for those who are already at the level of generals.

"Cha?" (How about we be careful and go take a look?)

Cancan's little heart couldn't help but beat loudly.

The explorer's heart that was originally silent seemed to be starting to stir under a new goal at this moment.

"No." After a brief thought, Xu Ran rejected Cancan's proposal without hesitation.

Looking at Cancan, whose head drooped in an instant, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the other person's head, "The place outside the Yaomu Domain is too dangerous. If you want to go there, you need to make a lot of preparations, so you need to plan for it slowly."

"Before, we had a more important thing, have you forgotten?"

"Cha?" (Something more important?)

Cancan tilted his head, a look of thinking and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"Xilu~" (It's a battle of all races.)

Xingchen neighed slightly and reminded.

For a moment, a look of surprise appeared in Cancan's eyes.

correct! It almost forgot about it!

Calculating the time, the war of all races is only ten days away from now.

And once we go to explore places outside Yaomu City now, we will inevitably lose a lot of energy while focusing on one thing and the other.

"Meow~" (Let's prepare for the battle of all races first.)

Zi Yun spoke softly, with a little more caution in her eyes.

Compared with the extermination thunder that has only been speculated so far, the battle of all races related to the other main material of evolution, the crystallization of the source vein, is obviously more important.

After all, this is a relatively clear clue.

"Cha~" (Okay~)

Cancan shook his big head and suddenly became honest.

Although it is playful, it can still distinguish what is light and what is important.

The war of all races is obviously more important.

"Okay, today's business is almost over." Xu Ran stood up and quickly closed the store door, "It took most of the afternoon to cleanse the Dream Chaser Apostle once."

"Let's go to eat, and take a look at the situation of Han Dou Badger." Xu Ran had a smile in his eyes, thinking of Han Dou Badger who was fostered on the second floor.

After learning about the other party's experience, he couldn't help but care a little more about Han Dou Badger.

I have decided to give each other a small snack tonight.

"Meow?" (What happened to the stupid badger?)

Keenly aware of something unusual in Xu Ran's tone, Zi Yun jumped lightly onto Xu Ran's shoulders and asked curiously.

"Well...that's a long story." Xu Ran smiled, and while taking the three little ones into the elevator to the second floor, he briefly told the experience of fighting badgers.

When Xu Ran entered the preparation room to prepare food for Han Dou Badger and the three little ones, the story of Han Dou Badger happened to be finished.

As usual, they stopped outside the door of the preparation room. The three little ones watched Xu Ran slowly close the door, and then looked at each other.

"Cha~" (I seem to have eaten a lot?)

Cancan couldn't help but mutter, looking a bit sad.

From birth to now, every meal it eats is food prepared by Xu Ran himself. Not only does it change its taste, but it is also extremely nutritious.

This has gradually made him accustomed to his current life, and he has become somewhat accustomed to it.

After hearing about the way Han Dou Badger got along with Kang Cheng, it suddenly realized that eating so much might be a big burden for Xu Ran.

"Meow~" (Yes.)

Zi Yun nodded in agreement and couldn't help but recall the past in his mind.

At first, it was just an ordinary stray cat. It could only rummage for food from the trash can every day. Sometimes it would be a great happiness to meet some kind people to feed it.

After meeting Xu Ran and being taken in by Xu Ran, the quality of its food was greatly improved. First, it was nutritious canned cats. After it awakened as a Transcendent creature, it was provided with various Transcendent creature foods.

When Xu Ran started fostering other pet animals, it was upgraded again along with the food.

It can be said that meeting Xu Ran is the beginning of its happy life.

"唏锏~" (We should also do more for Xu Ran.)

Xingchen neighed, and there was a little more emotion in his eyes.

Xu Ran has done so much for the three of them, even enduring the humiliation and burden for them, and has to bear the reputation of being "immoral" when he takes care of other pets...

It's time to repay Xu Ran!

"Cha!" (I have an idea!)

Cancan blinked and quickly had an idea.

It secretly glanced at the still closed door of the preparation room, then moved close to Zi Yun and Xingchen, whispering something in a low voice.

Xingchen and Zi Yun listened, their expressions gradually becoming expectant.

This sounds... like a good idea!

"What are you three talking about?" Xu Ran, who was pushing the dining cart out of the preparation room, saw this scene and asked with a smile.

The three children quickly separated with a tacit understanding, shaking their heads to show that nothing happened.

"All right."

Looking at the mysterious three little ones, Xu Ran smiled nonchalantly, and then shook the bell on the dining car, making a clear sound that resounded throughout the foster care area.

Soon, Han Dou Badger rushed towards Xu Ran with brisk steps.

It seemed that the exchange in the morning had no impact on it.

It still looks carefree and silly.

"Han Dou Badger, try this." Xu Ran smiled and handed the food bowl to Han Dou Badger, "I gave you a new taste today."

"grumble?"

There was a little more curiosity in the silly badger's eyes. It carefully took the food bowl and after sniffing it, a look of excitement appeared in its eyes.

With a keen sense of smell, it detected a faint smell of fish from tonight's food, and fish was added to it!

This is a new flavor that I have never tasted before!

It quickly placed the food bowl on the ground, then grabbed some with its paws and quickly put it into its mouth.

"Ouch!"

Accompanied by a slight chewing sound, the look of happiness in Han Dou Badger's eyes became more intense.

This new, wonderful taste made him fascinated for a while.

Seeing the happy appearance of the silly badger, Xu Ran also had a little smile in his eyes.

He specially added a kind of transcendent creature called mango fish to it. This kind of fish is delicious, the meat is tender, nutritious and delicious.

But it has exceeded the meal standard for elite-level beasts, and normally it will not appear in the food raw materials of elite-level beasts.

But who makes Han Dou Badger so cute?

"Let's eat too." Seeing the silly badger happily eating, the three pets who were already hungry suddenly felt even hungrier.

Xu Ran took out the food prepared for the three little ones, and then took out the two dishes, one soup and rice that he had prepared from the bottom of the dining car, placed it on the top of the dining car, and then pulled out a small folding chair.

In an instant, the dining cart becomes a dining table.

In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the dinner of three pets and badgers was quickly finished.

"Han Dou Badger." While clearing the tableware for him, Xu Ran suddenly thought of something and called out to Han Dou Badger who was about to turn around and leave.

"grumble?"

The silly badger turned around and looked at Xu Ran curiously with his small eyes.

"Have you ever thought about leaving your current beast master?" Xu Ran thought about it for a moment and then asked.

Han Dou Badger was not present when Zhou Rong and Xu Zhou made their decision.

Therefore, it probably doesn't know at this moment that two staff members of the Beast Masters Association are working hard to help it terminate the beast control contract.

"grumble?"

Hearing Xu Ran's words, Han Dou Badger was unexpectedly startled.

After thinking for a moment in silence, it nodded slightly, then shook its head slightly.

Cannes is indeed not very good towards it.

But after leaving Cannes, where can it go?

It was nothing more than being contracted by another beastmaster again.

And it no longer wants to adapt to the third beast master.

That’s it, that’s it.

After the ten days of being fostered here have passed, it will return to Kangcheng.

Thinking of this, Han Dou Badger's expression became a little more lazy, and he turned around and walked towards his comfortable living area.

The more this is the case, the more it should be cherished these days.

When you are full and sleepy, go to sleep!

"Aren't you willing?" Seeing the action of the silly badger shaking his head and turning around, Xu Ran immediately replied with a bit of surprise, "In this case, I have to tell Zhou Rong and Xu Zhou as soon as possible, let They should stop trying to find ways to terminate the contract for you."

"Originally, they planned to let you stay here, and the expenses would be borne by the Beast Masters Association."

Han Dou Badger paused slightly.

Immediately afterwards, its originally slightly sluggish body seemed to turn into an afterimage, and it instantly came in front of Xu Ran, its eyes full of excitement and excitement.

"grumble?!"

Is what this human said true?

After leaving Cannes, it will not have a new beastmaster?

Not only that, but it can also live here forever?

Thinking of the comfortable environment and delicious food in the Star Fire Pet Store, Badger couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

If you want to say this, then I won’t be sleepy!

"It seems that I am still willing." Xu Ran was dumbfounded, and then he realized that the other party might have misunderstood what he meant. "You should go to bed early. I hope the two association staff can bring good news as soon as possible."

"grumble!"

Han Dou Badger nodded heavily, watched Xu Ran and the three little ones leave, and then turned around and walked back to his living area.

Changed from his lazy look just now, Han Dou Badger seemed to be exuding vitality and hope from head to toe.

On the other side, Xu Ran, who returned to the living area on the 13th floor, chatted with the three little ones as usual, then sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating on the acceleration effect of the accelerator card, trying his best to improve himself.

But the three little ones who were supposed to fall asleep quickly after Xu Ran meditated as usual did not sleep as well as before.

After confirming that Xu Ran had fallen asleep, they looked at each other and then walked out of the room quietly.

Soon, as if remembering something, Zi Yun quickly returned, taking light steps and quietly holding Xu Ran's cell phone on the bedside table, and disappeared again.

The room fell into silence, only Xu Ran was deep in meditation, and was unaware of it.

Outside the room, Zi Yun got the mobile phone and soon met Xingchen and Cancan again at the elevator entrance.

"Meow~" (I got it!)

Zi Yun shook the phone in her mouth and spoke in a lowered voice.

"Cha?" (With this thing, can we make human food?)

Cancan widened his eyes curiously and asked.

"叏lv~" (You can search for human food recipes on your mobile phone.)

Xingchen nodded calmly.

"Cha!" (Then let's go!)

Cancan silently waved his paw in the air and walked into the elevator with excitement on his face.

Zi Yun and Xingchen looked at each other and followed closely.

At dinner, after hearing the story of the badger fight, they immediately felt how grateful they were for the food they were accustomed to eating.

Therefore, they also want to do something for Xu Ran.

Cancan, who always had a lot of fantastic ideas in his mind, suddenly thought that they could also make a meal for Xu Ran.

A meal, a human meal.

This seemingly hasty idea was recognized by Zi Yun and Xingchen, so they took action at the moment.

Soon, the three little ones walked out of the elevator, came to the foster care area on the second floor, and went straight into the preparation room.

In the area where Han Dou Badger lives, the sleeping Han Dou Badger moved his ears as if he noticed some movement, but turned over and slept soundly again.

In the preparation room, the three little ones began to work in an orderly manner.

"Meow~" (Leave the matter of checking information to Xingchen.)

Zi Yun flicked it casually, and the phone in her mouth flew in front of Xingchen.

Among the three little ones, Xingchen is the most literate, and it was also proposed by him to use his mobile phone to look up recipes, so he naturally accepted this task.

"Xi Lv..." (Looking up information...)

Xingchen looked at the phone in front of him, then looked at his hooves that were hard enough to cover the screen of the phone, and fell into deep thought.

But soon, it was smart and thought of a solution.

Xingchen's size shrank again, from the two meters in height to a super compact size of only about thirty centimeters.

Then, looking at the hooves, which were about the same thickness as Xu Ran's fingers, Xingchen nodded with satisfaction and started operating on the phone screen.

After skillfully pressing Xu Ran's unlock password, the screen on the phone appeared.

"Xi Lv..." (The search seems to be using...this?)

Xingchen murmured in a low voice, and with a bit of uncertainty, he opened a software called "Qiandu" on his mobile phone.

Soon, a familiar interface appeared, making it shine.

This is it!

It had seen Xu Ran operate it before, and it still had an impression at this moment.

With a bit of unfamiliarity, Xingchen began to enter "how to prepare human food" in the search box.

However, the content that popped up made his expectant expression slightly stagnant.

“Is this food really okay for humans?”

"Twenty foods that exceed the limits of human imagination."

"Be careful ahead! This kind of food is simply not something humans should eat!"

“…”

What are these? !

The face of the star, which was originally full of confidence, showed a humanized look of confusion.

Is there anything wrong with the content it searches for?

"Meow?" (What's wrong?)

Sensing something strange about the stars, Zi Yun came up to take a look, and then her expression became a little helpless.

"Meow~" (You have to use a human tone to ask.)

Stars suddenly realized.

Yes, the people asking and answering questions on the mobile phone are all human beings. Naturally, you won’t get the answer you want if you ask in a beastly tone like “human food”.

With the idea in mind, Xingchen deleted the previous text and searched for "food recipes" again. This time, the content that popped up was much more normal.

but…

Looking at the dazzling array of dish names, it was troubled again.

"Xilu?" (Humans have so many kinds of food, what do we do?)

Hearing this question, a look of thinking and recollection appeared on Zi Yun's face.

A certain fragment deep in the memory emerged, and its strange-colored eyes suddenly lit up.

"Meow!" (Look for the braised pork!)

In my impression, Xu Ran liked to eat this kind of delicacy very much and mentioned it to it several times.

Choose this, Xu Ran will love it!

"Xilu~" (No problem.)

Xingchen nodded without raising any objection.

Among the three little ones, Zi Yun and Xu Ran have lived together the longest. The one who understands Xu Ran’s preferences best is none other than Zi Yun.

He quickly found out how to make braised pork, and when he saw the dense text that came into his eyes, Xingchen suddenly became a little silent.

It is true that it is literate, but I know every one of these words in front of me. Why is it so difficult to understand them together?

What is boiling sugar color... smoldering...

In desperation, it can only start from scratch and search for the specific meaning of each unfamiliar word.

"Meow~" (I leave this to you.)

After just one glance, Zi Yun gave up the struggle and decisively handed over the job to Xingchen. Then he turned to look at Cancan who was leaning over the stove to study carefully.

"Meow?" (Cancan, how are you preparing?)

"Just..." (Human kitchen utensils look so complicated.)

The expression on Cancan's face looked quite deep.

As the one who made the suggestion, when it actually started to operate, it realized that what it thought seemed a bit simple.

The human kitchen utensils in front of it were more complicated than it expected.

Cooking food with it is no small challenge...

"Meow~" (This is a pot, you have to put it on the counter and start the fire...)

Zi Yun stretched out her paw, searched her memory to see Xu Ran cooking, and pointed to the iron pot hanging on the wall.

But right after the ignition step, it got stuck.

Because it seems to have no memory of how to start a fire.

Fortunately, Cancan is smart enough.

After placing the pot according to Zi Yun's instructions, it quickly found the ignition switch on the stove. After several attempts, it found the trick of first pressing down and then rotating.

"Cha!" (Done!)

Seeing the flames spurting out and burning the bottom of the pot on the stove, Cancan excitedly turned off the fire and made an excited sound.

The first step is completed!

"Xi Lv~" (I have sorted out the ingredients I need.)

Xingchen neighed, and his face regained its calm and calm expression.

After unremitting efforts, it has found the corresponding meanings of all the unfamiliar words before.

In this way, the method of braised pork is no longer a secret in its eyes!

It’s just braised pork, but my stars have already enlightened me!

Xingchen skillfully reported the various ingredients needed, and looked at Zi Yun.

The job of finding ingredients is left to Zi Yun.

"Meow~" (Wait for me.)

Zi Yun nodded, and the next moment his figure flashed and disappeared, leaving only an afterimage of thunder and lightning.

After a while, the afterimages reunited into Zi Yun's body, and in its mouth was a bag full of ingredients.

Judging from the label on the bag, these ingredients come from a nearby store open 24 hours a day.

Although it was midnight, the ingredients Zi Yun brought out were quite fresh.

"Meow~" (It's time to start!)

"Cha!" (I'm ready!)

Cancan held the spatula in his mouth and nodded.

"Xi Lv..." (Let's start with the first step...)

Xingchen glanced at the phone and then began to give instructions.

After a lot of fussing, a plate of shapeless black things appeared on the small table next to the stove.

The three little heads came together, looking at their masterpieces, and fell into deep thought.

"Cha?" (Does Xu Ran like to eat it?)

Cancan put down the spatula he was holding, grabbed a small piece and put it into his mouth, then silently swallowed it after a moment.

"Okay?" (I feel okay?)

Hearing this, Xingchen and Zi Yun suddenly looked at Cancan strangely.

Of course you think it's okay.

Earth-type pets enjoy eating earth.

There's obviously something wrong with this thing, okay!

"Xi Lv~" (I can already smell the burnt smell, this thing is definitely not to Xu Ran's taste.)

"Meow~" (Indeed, braised pork doesn't look like this.)

Zi Yun nodded affirmatively and agreed with Xingchen's words.

It had seen the braised pork cooked by Xu Ran himself. The dark reddish-brown meat was extremely soft. When the dish was served, it would sway gently with the dinner plate, reflecting an alluring crystal luster under the light. It was not at all like the plate in front of it. The dark things are comparable.

so…

"Meow~" (Come again.)

Zi Yun couldn't help but glance at the ingredients next to him.

Considering that it needed to be practiced a few more times, it bought ten ingredients.

But now I feel... maybe it's not enough...

Can you really make delicious braised pork ten times?

"Cha!" (Come again!)

Despite being denied by Zi Yun and Xingchen, Cancan still seemed full of energy.

It ate its own masterpiece without disdain, then picked up the spatula, its eyes ignited with fighting intent.

Today, Heavenly Emperor is sure to conquer the braised pork! ——

The next morning.

Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes, breaking away from the meditative state and returning his consciousness to reality.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to the side and looked at the place where the three little cats usually slept, and then his expression froze slightly.

The three little ones are not even in the room.

"Zi Yun? Star? Cancan?"

Xu Ran made a tentative sound, but received no response from the three little ones.

"Weird." He muttered in a low voice, then quickly stood up and changed clothes, "What were these three guys doing today?"

After hurriedly washing up, Xu Ran carefully checked the living area on the 13th floor to make sure that the three little ones were not there, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Could it be that...you went to train early in the morning?"

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Ran's face became a little more suspicious.

Under normal circumstances, the three little ones will start training after having breakfast. Breakfast is a very important energy supplement for the three little ones, and it is also the motivation to wake up for a full day.

Skipping breakfast and going directly to training was not in line with his understanding of his three little animals.

"Forget it, let's go to the training area first." Xu Ran gave up thinking, walked into the elevator, and went to the training areas for the thunder, fighting, dark and earth elements in sequence.

There were still no familiar figures of the three little ones in the training area. He stood in the elevator and used the contract to sense it, and then pressed the button for the second floor without hesitation.

Soon, as the elevator door opened, Xu Ran saw the three little ones.

but…

"You three, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Xu Ran looked at the three little ones who were approaching excitedly, but could not hide their fatigue, and suddenly sniffed, "What does this smell like?"

"Meow!" (We have a surprise for you!)

Zi Yun jumped on Xu Ran's shoulder and motioned for Xu Ran to enter the preparation room and take a look.

"Surprise?" Xu Ran had a look of surprise in his eyes, "Why are you so ready to prepare a surprise for me?"

Xingchen and Cancan on the side didn't answer, but their expressions looked quite expectant.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Looking at the mysterious appearance of the three little ones, Xu Ran chuckled and walked towards the preparation room.

Pushing open the door of the preparation room, a burning smell hit his face, making Xu Ran's expression condense slightly.

Then, he saw a familiar plate of food quietly placed on the table.

"You did this?!"

Xu Ran asked subconsciously, but he already had the answer in his mind.

Besides the three little ones, who else would secretly cook for him?

It can be seen from the mess in the preparation room that they must have been struggling all night and failed many times.

Looking at the cell phone that was put aside and turned off automatically when it was out of battery, Xu Ran could even imagine the three little ones learning how to make braised pork based on the cell phone.

For a moment, he felt a little funny, but he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

"Just right!" (Have a try!)

Cancan urged excitedly.

Come try my Heavenly Emperor’s craftsmanship!

"How can anyone eat braised pork so early in the morning?" Xu Ran couldn't help laughing, but he picked up the plate without hesitation, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

“It smells so good!”
