Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 341 Clues to the Star-Suppressing Stone and the Evolution of Fireflies

"Is this the Glory of the Dawn Star?" Xu Ran stepped forward quickly and carefully picked up the gem that shone with dazzling light. A look of surprise appeared on his face, "What a rich power."

"Xi Lv~" (Let me see!)

Xingchen couldn't help but move closer to Xu Ran, lowered his head and stared at the evolutionary materials he had just obtained.

Under the starlight, its amethyst-like eyes became brighter.

Feeling the rich star power contained in it, Xingchen felt as comfortable as being in a hot spring.

There is no doubt that this resource is a great complement to it.

"Here you go, keep it." Xu Ran took out a pendant, fixed the Glory of Dawn and hung it around Xingchen's neck, then turned to look at the trembling Black Lion Beast King, "I want to ask you a question."

"Why are the two quasi-hegemons useless for this resource?"

Hearing this question, the Black Lion Beast King was silent for a moment.

"Because this resource cannot be absorbed."

"Huh?" Xu Ran's eyes narrowed.

The Glory of the Dawn Star cannot be absorbed?

Xu Ran's understanding of this resource was limited. When he heard the Black Lion Beast King say this, he became more curious, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"This resource appeared in the center of Falling Star Valley when it was formed." A trace of memory appeared in the eyes of the Black Lion Beast King, "Youtian Light Mother has studied it the most and thinks it is the innermost part of the meteorite. of the core.”

"The meteorite bombarded the earth, and all the outer layers shattered and dissipated, exposing it."

"The core of a meteorite?" Xu Ran couldn't help but take a few more glances at the pendant hanging around Xingchen's neck.

It’s hard to tell that the Glory of Dawn Star has quite a long history.

"Yes." The Black Lion Beast King said slowly, "It is extremely strong. Even if the two would-be overlords work together, they cannot destroy it."

"It contains powerful power, but this power cannot be absorbed by the two overlords."

"Youtian Light Mother once tried to use it as an evolutionary material to take a key step towards the imperial race, but failed in the end, and this resource remained unscathed."

"Since then, this resource has been placed in this cave."

"So difficult?" Xu Ran couldn't help but gasped when he heard the Black Lion Beast King's words, "But I think it's quite easy to absorb?"

"How is that possible?" The Black Lion Beast King subconsciously looked in the direction of the stars, and then suddenly froze on the spot.

Because the Glory of the Dawn Star hanging around Xingchen's neck was actually releasing its own energy bit by bit in the flicker, and was transmitted to Xingchen's body.

The Black Lion Beast King couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this moment, it was even more shocked than Zi Yun had killed You Tianguang Mother.

The Glory of the Dawn Star has been around for hundreds of years, but no creature has ever been able to absorb its power. I never expected that it would make an exception in front of the creature in front of me.

After a long silence, the Black Lion Beast King's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Probably, this resource has found its owner."

——

After getting the Glory of Dawn Star, Xu Ran took the five little ones and left the Falling Star Valley immediately, ignoring the trembling Transcendent creatures.

On the way back to the city, Xingchen's steps were particularly light.

After obtaining this resource, the only evolution material it lacks is the last one.

Star stone.

As for how to obtain the Star-Suppressing Stone, we still have to think about it in the long term.

Hanging with such an eye-catching brilliance of the dawn, the stars cannot even maintain their hidden state perfectly. They are like lights in the dark night, attracting countless coveted eyes.

However, after Zi Yun once again bloomed with the imperial crown, these gazes disappeared instantly.

The emperor race cannot be offended.

Not long after, one person and five pets returned to the store in Xuanxing City.

Lying on the soft big bed, they felt a little peaceful.

"Ding dong——"

A cell phone notification sounded at this moment.

Xu Ran picked up the phone and found an unread text message.

The sender of the text message was Qi Yuan.

Opening it and taking a look at the content of the text message, Xu Ran suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, "Xingchen, there is news about Zhenxing Stone!"

"Xilu?!" (Really?!)

Xingchen, who was still immersed in the joy of receiving the Glory of the Dawn Star, suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting with astonishing light.

"Do you still remember what Senior Qi Yuan said when we visited him at noon?" Xu Ran shook the phone and smiled.

"The defensive star formation of Xuanxing City cannot be destroyed, so this Star-Suppressing Stone cannot be obtained, but Senior Qi Yuan helped us find the location of this Star-Suppressing Stone."

"In the place where the Star Calming Stone is produced, we will definitely be able to get some clues about the Star Calming Stone. If we are lucky, it is even possible to find another Star Calming Stone." Xu Ran smiled, "Senior Qi Yuan put the address Sent over."

"Xi Lv?" (Where?)

Xingchen's eyes were filled with anticipation.

It can't wait to set off immediately and kill the place where the Star-Suppressing Stone is produced.

"That's a place called the Silent Abyss." Xu Ran checked it carefully and said, "Senior Qi Yuan is so considerate. He even included a map in the attachment."

"Let me see...eh?"

After seeing the location marked on the map clearly, Xu Ran's eyes couldn't help but widen, "What a coincidence?"

"Cha?" (What's wrong?)

Cancan on the side couldn't help but ask.

Hearing the name "Silent Abyss", its adventurer's soul was instantly ignited.

This sounds like a very interesting place!

"This place is very close to the Poison Flame Valley." Xu Ran said with a smile, "The Poison Flame Valley is the place I chose for Yinghuo to evolve."

"Luhou?" (Where is it?)

Yinghuo, who originally thought it had nothing to do with him, suddenly lit up.

What a coincidence!

"It's indeed a coincidence." Xu Ran nodded, "In this way, when we go on a long trip, we can not only explore the clues of the Star Stone, but also help Yinghuo complete its evolution."

"Xilu~" (so good!)

Xingchen nodded happily.

"Chirp?" (So when will we set off?)

Twelve tilted his head, with a look of interest in his eyes.

Whether it is the evolution of fireflies or clues about the Star Stone, it is very interested.

"Is this..." Xu Ran had a thoughtful look on his face, and after a moment he made a decision, "Well, let's go after the foster care experience exhibition is over."

"Calculating the time, the foster care experience exhibition will be held in three days."

"By then, we will have initially established a firm foothold in Xuanxing City." Xu Ran paused and looked at Yinghuo, "Yinghuo has been preparing for evolution during this time, right?"

"Luho!" (That's right!)

Yinghuo nodded heavily.

In the last resource allocation, all its skills had been upgraded to the waning moon level, and the three-star skill Eternal Burning Flame, which was upgraded from the Eternal Burning Flame, had been upgraded to the full moon level.

But this is not enough!

During the communication with the four seniors, Yinghuo learned that the higher the proficiency of innate skills during evolution, the greater the help for evolution.

When Twelve evolved, two skills reached the full moon level, and its evolution conditions did not require skill proficiency to be raised to the full moon level.

In comparison, my own preparations to meet the evolutionary conditions are really insufficient!

As a mutant race, Yinghuo always has a hint of timidity and fear of evolution in its heart, so it wants to prepare more.

At least, three skills must reach the full moon level!

It has seen the four seniors showing great strength time and time again, and it would be a lie if it said it was not envious.

Therefore, you must go all out to complete this evolution!

Thinking of this, Yinghuo couldn't help but clench her paws.

It needs to train harder!

"Come on." Xu Ran smiled and touched Yinghuo's head, then looked at the stars, "In the past few days, you should first become familiar with the power of Dawn Star's Glory."

"Being able to absorb this resource may be because you have better talent, and there are many connections between your own power and the power of the stars." Xu Ran paused, "This is a good thing. Being familiar with the power in advance can make the evolution go more smoothly. "

"Xilu~" (I understand.)

Xingchen nodded.

Zi Yun suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

"Meow?" (Did the koi from Xuanxing City appear?)

"Koi..." Xu Ran touched his chin and shook his head helplessly, "Not yet."

On the first day of business, Xu Ran also received six or seven guests, but none of these guests showed characteristics similar to koi.

Therefore, Xu Ran is not sure whether there are koi in Xuanxing City.

"It doesn't matter. If there are still no koi in half a month, I can go back to Minghui City to catch Miss Qiu Yue's koi spirit." Xu Ran smiled, "Otherwise, I can go to Qingzhou City or Xieyun City. Just rub it a little bit."

"Okay, let's go and train." Xu Ran sat upright on the bed, assumed a meditation posture, and quickly entered deep meditation under the superposition of two meditation accelerator cards.

Looking at Xu Ran who was working hard to improve, the five little ones looked at each other and then came to the training area of ​​their respective attributes in a familiar way.

There was nothing to say all night, only excitement.

——

Time passed quickly, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Just as Liu Fengyun predicted, after sending people to cause trouble for the first time, Pingtian Nursing Home never sent anyone again.

Star Fire Pet Store has entered a peaceful development stage. In just four days, it has gained an excellent reputation with its excellent service and has become well-known in nearby neighborhoods.

Every day, a dozen or twenty customers come to the store steadily, and Star Fire Pet Store's business is completely on track.

The popularity of Star Fire Pet Store is also constantly increasing. Although it is still only about 3%, it is already a good start.

On this day, the newly opened Star Fire Pet Store welcomed a special customer.

He was wearing a uniform and came on behalf of the organizer of the Animal Masters Association's Pet Fostering Experience Exhibition.

"Are you Mr. Xu Ran, the owner of Star Fire foster care?" The staff entered the store and got straight to the point.

"Yes, it's me." Xu Ran's eyes lit up, he guessed the other party's intention, and walked out quickly, "Has the foster care experience exhibition started?"

"Yes." The staff member smiled slightly, "I'm here to inform you of the specific rules of the foster care experience exhibition."

"Okay, please tell me." Xu Ran's expression became serious.

This is a major event related to increasing the popularity of Star Fire Pet Store.

As long as the popularity of Xuanxing City increases to 50%, the main task 4 can be completely completed. He can directly upgrade a System Skills from B Grade to A Grade.

Xu Ran is looking forward to this.

Of course, it was also a small purpose to step on the Pingtian foster care shop that was causing trouble for me.

"It's like this. Although the Foster Care Experience Exhibition is an exhibition, it is different from ordinary exhibitions." The staff explained with a smile, "Because if you want to show the complete effect of foster care, you need to foster care for at least one day."

"So, the foster care experience exhibition has different rules from ordinary exhibitions."

"We will select twenty pet animals that voluntarily participate as judges for this exhibition. They will take turns to enter the foster care stores that have signed up to participate in the exhibition and experience the store's foster care services. Each store experience time is one day."

"When the experience of all stores is completed, they will select the store that makes them feel the most comfortable, and this store will be the winner of the exhibition and receive awards from the association." The staff member paused for a moment, "Do you understand? "

"Understood." Xu Ran nodded, "I have two questions."

"First, how many foster care shops are participating in this foster care experience exhibition?"

"There are a total of seventeen foster care shops participating in this foster care experience exhibition." The staff smiled.

"That is to say, it will take seventeen days to determine the winner." Xu Ran nodded clearly, "Then where is my store ranked?"

"First place." The staff member smiled.

"Ah?" Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, "The first one?"

"Yes." The staff explained, "The order of this foster care experience exhibition is based on the voting results of the last foster care experience exhibition."

"The higher the ranking last time, the lower the ranking this time."

"Your foster care store is newly opened and did not participate in the previous exhibition, so it is ranked first."

"This..." Xu Ran frowned slightly.

There is no doubt that the order of exhibitors has an impact on the final results.

According to the rules of the foster care experience exhibition, those who do it first will have a big disadvantage, and those who do it later will have some advantages.

After all, after experiencing different foster care services, pets will gradually forget the first service they experienced, and their impression will not be so deep.

but…

Xu Ran calmed down.

He believes that his foster care service is enough to leave an unforgettable impression on the pets.

"The first one will be the first one." Xu Ran's expression became calm again, "When will these pet beast judges come?"

"In one hour." The staff member smiled and said, "Boss, you have one hour to make final preparations."

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded and watched the other party leave.

"Boss Xu, you have to work hard!" A customer who entered the store before the staff heard the whole conversation between the two and laughed, "This foster care experience exhibition is still very influential in our circle of beast masters. ."

"If you can get a good result, I believe many people will feel free to keep their pets here."

"But it's true that you'll have to suffer a lot when you're the first to foster care." The guest sighed, obviously knowing something about the foster care experience exhibition, "It doesn't matter, if it doesn't work this year, there will be next year~"

"I will do my best." Xu Ran smiled, "What services do you need?"

"Clean and care."

"Okay, this way please."

——

An hour passed quickly.

Xu Ran didn't make any preparations in advance. After all, Star Fire Pet Store's foster care service focuses on personalized customization.

When the staff came to Star Fire Pet Store with twenty foster pets, he was even receiving a nursing customer.

"Boss Xu, here are the twenty pet animal judges for foster care." The staff looked at Xu Ran who was busy, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This is not the first time he has participated in a foster care experience exhibition. Among the foster care shops he has seen in the past, which one was not in a state of panic before the foster pets arrived?

This was the first time he had seen someone so calm.

"Welcome, everyone." Xu Ran smiled and looked at the twenty pet beasts of various sizes behind the staff.

Among these pet beasts, the largest has reached giant size, while the smallest is only small.

Their strength also varies, ranging from Transcendent level to King level.

There are two of each attribute.

To be able to find such a challenging pet animal fostering review, it can be seen that the association has put in a lot of hard work.

"Boss Xu, I'll leave them to you." The staff member smiled slightly and said, "At this time tomorrow, I will come back to pick them up and leave."

"I hope you get along well with them during this day." After saying that, the staff turned around and left, leaving twenty pet animals at the door of the Star Fire Pet Store.

In fact, the staff are also curious about how Xu Ran will settle these pets.

However, according to the rules of the exhibition, he cannot enter the foster care shop to avoid leaking clues and engaging in malpractice for personal gain.

"Let's go slowly~" Xu Ran looked at the pet beasts in front of him with a smile as he watched the staff go away, "Please come in."

As Xu Ran finished speaking, twelve animals with better personalities took the initiative to enter the foster care shop. The remaining eight acted very lazy and stood motionless.

At the beginning of the foster care, these pet judges gave Xu Ran a slap in the face.

Looking at the pet judges who were unwilling to even enter the store, Xu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

These pet judges are quite individual.

The character of the pet animal must also be one of the basis for the organizer's selection.

In this case…

Xu Ran looked sideways into the store and shouted, "Zi Yun~"

"Meow~" (Coming~)

Zi Yun, who was connected with Xu Ran, instantly understood what Xu Ran meant, jumped down from the resting counter, and walked step by step towards Xu Ran and the pet judges.

With every step it takes, the sound of its bloom becomes stronger. Countless thunder and lightning shine around it, and then converge into a crown of thunder and lightning on its head.

Without deliberately oppressing any pet beasts, the momentum of the king-level and emperor race displayed by Zi Yun was enough to suffocate all the pet beast judges present.

When Zi Yun walked next to Xu Ran, the terrifying momentum disappeared instantly, and it made a cute "wink" towards the trembling pet judges.

"Meow~" (Welcome to Star Fire Pet Store~)

The eight pet judges, who had been extremely lazy before, now all wished they had two more legs, walked as fast as flying, and rushed into the Star Fire Pet Store.

Xu Ran smiled slightly.

That's it?

After solving the first problem, Xu Ran walked into the store and looked at the twenty pet judges, "Come with me, I will take you to the foster care area."

This time, the pet beast judges were much more honest.

Looking at Zi Yun who was following Xu Ran closely, they followed Xu Ran honestly one by one into the foster care area without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, each of these pet beasts showed dull expressions.

Being able to be carefully selected by the Animal Controllers Association and serve as judges for the foster care experience exhibition, these pet animals naturally have extraordinary knowledge.

They have seen a variety of foster areas.

But this is the first time I have seen this.

First, it's big.

This is probably the largest foster care area they have ever seen. At a glance, you can't even see the boundary.

Secondly, it is famine.

Entering here, you can see deserts and wastelands everywhere, and no other environment exists.

Among the twenty pet beasts being judged, except for the two earth-type ones who were relatively calm, the other eighteen all showed expressions of disgust.

What's the use of just being big? They don't like this kind of environment.

"Come on, come on, all the judges, tell me your needs." Xu Ran chuckled and took out the control center like a magic trick, "The foster care environment in our store is customized. Whatever you want, you can make it. .”

"Chirp~" (Yes!)

Twelve flapped its wings and flew from a distance, landing lightly on Xu Ran's shoulders.

Today, it shoulders a difficult task.

That is, as the translator of the exhibition, he will tell Xu Ran all the thoughts of the pet judges.

The twenty pet judges looked at me and I looked at you, and then they realized that what they saw was not all of the foster care environment.

After a moment of small commotion, an elite-level stone ape jumped up to Xu Ran.

"Yo!" (I like climbing walls, the more the better!)

"Okay, no problem." Xu Ran said with a smile, "Do you like to live alone or with your companions?"

Hearing this, the stone ape showed a look of surprise on his face, and he turned to look at another figure among the pet beast judges.

"Yo!" (I want to live with flaming pigs!)

"...Fire Pig?" Xu Ran looked at the elite-level Fire Pig in the review with some surprise, "Are you willing to live with the Stone Ape?"

"Hmm~" (Yes!)

The fire pig nodded.

"That's no problem." Xu Ran chuckled and started asking about the Flaming Pig's preferences, "What are your requirements for the living environment?"

"Humph~" (I like a warm, dry and sunny environment!)

"No problem." After understanding the preferences of the two judges, Xu Ran quickly planned a living area that was twice the size of an ordinary living area, with a stone forest for easy climbing and a large lighting area. "For the next day, you will live in It’s here.”

Seeing the pair of good friends, the stone ape and the flaming pig, excitedly heading to their living area, the other eighteen pet beast judges who had not yet been allocated could not help but whisper.

"Lu~" (The place they live in is so big~)

"Ji~" (Can pets with different attributes live together?)

"Pfft!" (I don't want to live with other pets~)

“…”

Listening to the discussion of the pet beast judges, Xu Ran's lips became more smiley.

The theme proposed by the organizer is a bit interesting.

When pet animals communicate with the foster care center as a judge without a master, there will inevitably be a certain degree of communication barriers.

It is not an easy thing to accurately understand the needs of pet animals.

And pet animals have the desire to live with friends, and it is not easy for foster care shops to satisfy them.

After all, some foster care shops divide the foster care according to attributes and growth levels. Sharing across attributes and growth levels cannot be realized, which will inevitably reduce the satisfaction of the pets.

Fortunately, these two problems are not a problem at Star Fire Pet Store.

In terms of communication, there are no obstacles at all for twelve people who can grasp the flow of their thoughts.

The problem of shared accommodation is no longer a problem with Star Fire Pet Store’s unique customization.

After grasping the organizer's careful thinking, Xu Ran felt that he was more confident of winning.

"What kind of foster care environment do you want?" Xu Ran asked with a smile, looking at the eager pet judges.

These pet judges could no longer hold back and quickly surrounded Xu Ran. They expressed their needs with each other.

After a while, customized living areas rose from the ground.

Looking at the new notifications of Pleasure Points arriving in his account, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, I have passed the first level of this foster care experience exhibition.

Next comes the second level, feeding.

——

Xuanxing City Beast Controllers Association, organizer of pet animal foster care experience exhibition.

A group of staff sat together, chatting and eating various snacks and fruits on the desk. The atmosphere was very relaxed.

They have a common identity, that is, they are the animal masters who will be the pet judges of this foster care experience exhibition.

That's right, the twenty pet beasts and beast masters selected are all employees of the association.

These staff members are also an important part of the review.

However, the evaluation method is different.

After chatting and laughing for a while, one of the staff members glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Half an hour has passed. You should have settled down, right?"

"It's hard to say." Another staff member shook his head with a smile, "It is said that this Star Fire Pet Store is just a newly opened store. It probably does not have much experience in foster care. It is not that easy to deal with our pet animals. .”

At this point, all the staff smiled knowingly.

Among the twenty pet beast judges, not one of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Even though he looks sweet and docile, he actually has all kinds of quirks.

It is extremely difficult to settle them down honestly.

"Ask me." Another staff member casually spread his hands, and a contract sensor directly connected with his pet beast.

After a moment, his expression became surprised, "My pet animal seems to be very satisfied with the foster care environment?"

"Mine too." Another staff member said quickly.

"And I."

"me too."

Several staff members spoke one after another, making other staff members look at each other.

real or fake?

"Let the chief judge take a look." The other staff members all looked at the four people sitting at the top.

Two general level beast masters and two king level beast masters.

They have the contractual ability to share their senses and can see the specific conditions of the foster care area with the help of their pets.

The four main judges looked at each other, nodded in unison, and opened their shared senses.

After a while, four "fuck" sounds came from the conference room.
