Unserious Beast Tamer

"Ziyun, you did a great job!"

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief as he hugged Ziyun, who looked quite depressed, and took a look at his injured paw.

In the final confrontation, Ziyun was not seriously injured. It was just the backlash of blood rage that added to the injuries, making him look slightly miserable.

Although his aura was weak, Ziyun's eyes were bright.

Defeating the Darkscale Dragon, the opponent it has always wanted to defeat, has an unparalleled inspiration for it.

"Meow!" (I won!)

It seemed to suddenly come to its senses and shouted.

"Yes, we won." Xu Ran smiled.

Amid roaring cheers and applause, the referee announced the final result of the battle.

"Xu Ran, win!"

"Congratulations to Xu Ran, contestant, for winning the championship of this new beastmaster challenge!" The host came on stage at the next moment and walked quickly to Xu Ran with a microphone in hand, "Is there anything you want to say to everyone? Except for advertising.”

The host's comments made countless viewers burst into laughter.

Xu Ran opened the system task and took a look.

[Novice Task 5: Become a Little Famous

Task description: Ask the host to increase the local awareness of the foster care shop to 50% (48.7/50)

Mission reward: training function module, system upgrade experience +400]

Before this fight, he remembered that his popularity was 43.3%, and after just one fight, his popularity jumped by 5.4%.

Xu Ran smiled and took the phone.

What would this new champion of the Beast Master Challenge say?

The audience fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Everyone is very strong, and it is not easy to win this competition." Xu Ran paused, "If my pet beast and I hadn't always maintained the best condition to face the enemy, it is still unknown whether we could win. "

Xu Ran actually stopped advertising?

There were whispers in the audience, and many viewers showed disappointed expressions.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xu Ran's voice changed.

"Want to stay in the same good condition as my pet?" He smiled slightly, "Then come to Xinghuo Nursing Home, there is... beep——"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp sound suddenly came from the microphone.

The microphone is broken? Xu Ran shook it curiously, and the host on the side took the microphone away from him with a smile on his face, "Okay, thank you Xu Ran for your wonderful speech!"

In the auditorium, the audience members who had previously looked disappointed looked excited, and they felt like they were "back to youth."

After blinking, Xu Ran realized that it was the organizer who deliberately prevented him from advertising, rather than the microphone malfunctioning.

Hateful targeting!

He couldn't help but mutter a few words angrily, looking helpless at his barely rising popularity.

It seems that advertising is no longer effective in the short term.

Let the remaining popularity grow slowly on its own.

——

"There are quite a lot of rewards for the championship."

After leaving the playing field with Ziyun who had returned to his original shape, Xu Ran happily played with the three cards in his hand.

These three cards are the championship rewards.

It seems simple, but the value is anything but simple.

One of them is a bank card with one million cash, and this is only the lowest value among the three cards.

The other card is the points card of the Beast Master Association, which contains a thousand beast master points, which can be used to redeem various supernatural resources.

Beast Master Points are special points that can be used in the Beast Master Associations of different cities. They can be exchanged for pet beasts, resources and various other things.

If converted into money, one point is equivalent to about one thousand yuan, but very few people are willing to exchange points for money, so it is even more precious.

Xu Ran has no plans to use this card for the time being. After all, for the time being, he does not need to purchase additional resources.

All kinds of resources needed for daily care and foster care are provided by the system, and the system will automatically deduct the cost from the income obtained. Xu Ran is too lazy to think about the origin of these resources, since the system is awesome anyway.

Therefore, the only place where he needs resources is probably for certain training processes of his future pet beasts, such as evolution, which is said to require a large amount of specific resources.

At this moment, Ziyun has not yet evolved, so he keeps this card just in case.

As for the last one…

That is a beast egg extraction card. With this card, you can choose one from the rare beast egg library of the Beastmaster Association.

To be called a rare beast egg, the race is naturally not an ordinary species.

It alone has attracted countless beast masters to sign up for the competition.

Although Xu Ran still has an awakening stone that he has not used, this beast egg extraction card is of great value to him.

"It's still early, why don't we go to the store first and go to the Beast Masters Association to pick out the eggs?" Xu Ran put the three cards back into his pocket and smiled.

"Meow~"

Ziyun nodded, it was okay.

Speaking of which, after the beast egg hatches, it becomes its new partner, right? I wonder if this new partner will be easy to get along with?

"Don't worry, even if you hatch, you have to get along well with other partners before I will consider contracting as a pet beast." Xu Ran comforted softly as if he guessed Ziyun's thoughts.

"Meow~"

Ziyun's mood suddenly improved, she squinted her eyes and rubbed Xu Ran's palm with her head.

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the Beast Masters Association.

Before he entered, the beast masters entering and exiting the association gave him a look.

Today, Xu Ran is no longer a nobody.

It can be seen from the popularity displayed in the mission that nearly half of the people in the entire Qingzhou City know about the Spark Nursing Home.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the Beast Masters Association, many beast masters greeted him with a smile.

"Boss Xu, come and collect the eggs?"

"Boss Xu, your pet beast is so powerful, what kind is it? I also want to contract one."

"Boss Xu, I will go to your store in two days. Can you give me a discount?"

“…”

After responding one by one, Xu Ran went straight to the rare beast egg warehouse.

The rare beast egg warehouse is located in the basement of the Beast Masters Association. The thick alloy door tightly seals the beast egg warehouse. Outside is an old man who looks quite extraordinary and has a hideous scar on his face.

"Old senior, let me take away a beast egg." Facing the old man, Xu Ran did not dare to neglect and respectfully handed over the beast egg withdrawal card.

"The winner of today's little doll competition?" The old man took the card and took a look at it, then stood up and walked step by step to the entrance control area next to him.

After a complicated unlocking process, the thick alloy door slowly opened, revealing a rather spectacular scene inside.

The one-meter-high alloy bases are arranged closely and orderly, with a beast egg with different patterns fixed on each base.

These eggs are covered by strong tempered glass, and there seems to be a nameplate with text on the top of the tempered glass cover.

Looking around, there are hundreds of them.

"This is the first floor of the beast egg library. You can choose one here." The old man turned back to his seat without looking at Xu Ran.

Listen to this, there are two or even more floors?

Xu Ran muttered in his heart, and then quickly approached one of the eggs.

It was an animal egg with purple lines on its surface. These lines were a bit messy and looked somewhat similar to the texture of feathers.

The nameplate on the glass cover provides a brief introduction to the egg.

"The thunder beast Sky Thunder Eagle, the king in the sky, a powerful race of beasts that welcomes thunder with its wings."

"Sounds a bit powerful." Xu Ran muttered and turned to the next beast egg without any hesitation.

Thunder beasts are not considered, Ziyun is enough.

Only by choosing pet beasts with other attributes can you make more efficient use of the skills gained by growing fur.

"The water-based pet beast Xuanboyu, with its mysterious wave techniques, has a completely different attack method from other water-based beasts."

Aren’t fishes born from fish eggs, but they also have animal eggs?

"The fire-type pet beast Cangyan Dog, the different-colored flames not only have the high temperature of the fire type, but also have an unusual burning effect."

That’s just fish that lay eggs. Dogs that lay eggs also have eggs?

“…”

Xu Ran looked at them one by one, his expression gradually becoming weird.

On the one hand, he was surprised by the variety of races of these beast eggs, on the other hand... these beast eggs all looked very good.

Except for the thunder type, he doesn’t choose any of the other beast eggs he sees!

It's a bit difficult now, after all, I can only take one away.

Seeing hundreds of pedestals in front of him, Xu Ran knew that he had to change his approach.

The introductions on these nameplates all look impressive, but they are quite general. It would be a bit hasty to make a choice based on this alone.

so…

Xu Ran took out a pair of ordinary-looking glasses and put them on his face.

Blissful in his mind, he thought of the blue item he had won in the previous lottery, the Insight Mirror.

According to the introduction of the system, this item can "obtain some imperceptible information" within five minutes after wearing it.

He always felt that this description fit the current situation very well.

Sure enough, after putting on the insight mirror, everything changed.

The base made of alloy was gone, and the extremely strong glass cover was gone. There were only beast eggs floating in front of Xu Ran's eyes.

And these beast eggs have also undergone slight changes from what they saw before with the naked eye.

Lights of different colors appeared on their shells!

Xu Ran's eyes fell on the Thunder Eagle egg he first saw.

A purple brilliance appeared on the eggshell.

Then, the brilliance on the Xuanbo fish beast egg is blue, and the brilliance on the Cangyan dog beast egg is red.

So, do these brilliance colors correspond to the attributes of beast eggs?

Xu Ran continued to check and soon discovered another characteristic of Guanghua.

The brightness and intensity of the brilliance rising from different beast eggs are different!

Among the row of eggs he has seen so far, the brightest one is a water-type pet named "Blue Water King Anaconda".

Its nameplate description reads: "In its prime state, the Blue Water King Anaconda is a hundred meters long. Water beasts will surrender wherever it passes, and those who do not surrender will be devoured."

It sounds more powerful than other beast eggs.

According to this rule, does the brightness of the beast egg correspond to the strength of the pet beast?

Xu Ran's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have found the correct use of the seeing mirror.

In this case, let’s take a good look at which one of these eggs is the brightest!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran walked inside step by step.

With the help of the Insight Mirror, checking is much faster.

No purple brilliance.

If the brilliance of the egg is lower than that of the Blue Water King Anaconda Egg just now, if you encounter a brighter one later, use the brighter one as the benchmark.

Following this screening rule, Xu Ran quickly stood in front of a beast egg.

The light of this beast egg is the brightest among all the beast eggs in the room. It almost reflects on the other beast eggs around it. Its color is khaki corresponding to the earth element.

Is it earthy...

In terms of attributes, it does not conflict with Ziyun.

The earth type generally has strong defense, and many of them are larger, and some are good at healing. These are all good attributes.

Then this is it for sure!

The five-minute aging of the insight mirror ended at this moment, and the alloy base and glass cover became visible again. Xu Ran also took advantage of the opportunity to see the nameplate on the glass cover.

His expectant expression froze slightly.

"The eggs of an unknown race were obtained by raiding outside Qingzhou City. It has been determined that their energy intensity is not low and their race potential is high."

An unknown beast egg?

Xu Ran looked around disbelievingly.

Except for this one, all the other eggs have clear races.

Your background as a co-author is mysterious, right?

I want a protagonist template like this!

Without saying anything, Xu Ran pointed at the egg, turned to the old man outside and said, "Old senior, I choose this one!"

"Oh?" The old man glanced inside, with an expression of interest on his face, "You want to choose this?"

"This is the only egg of unknown race on the first floor of the beast egg library. Originally, according to its energy intensity, it could be placed on the second floor. Because the origin is unknown, it was downgraded to the first floor." The old man smiled. Walking in, "Good eyesight."

"But..." He paused, opened the glass cover, took out the egg, and handed it to Xu Ran. "According to the association's judgment, this egg may have a long incubation period, so you need some patience."

"How long is it?" Xu Ran put Ziyun on the ground and took the heavy egg with both hands.

"A conservative estimate...a year!"

"Ah?" Xu Ran had a strange expression.

Does it take a year to hatch?

"Of course, if you use some special resources or other things to speed up the incubation, you can speed up the process." The old man added.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded, "Then I'll leave first."

Thinking on the bright side, maybe the system has item rewards that speed up hatching?

"Slow down." The old man chuckled, watched Xu Ran leave, and then closed the alloy door again, "What an interesting boy."

——

"It takes an egg to hatch for a year..."

On the first floor of Xinghuo Nursing Home, Xu Ran and Ziyun stared at each other with a beast egg that was 50 centimeters high.

Weak extraordinary energy is constantly escaping from the egg, proving its activity. There are khaki lines on the surface of the eggshell. The shape of these lines is like cracks in the earth, which is quite strange.

Under the beast's egg, there is a piece of clay with a rather random shape, artificially shaped into the shape of a base, supporting the beast's egg upright.

It seems ordinary, but there are strong earth energy fluctuations in the mud block.

This is earth resource Mud Marrow, a resource that is very suitable for accelerating the hatching of earth beast eggs. Xu Ran, who originally did not plan to use the beast master points, couldn't hold back after passing by the resource exchange area with the beast eggs. Redeemed with 50 points.

"Next, let it absorb on its own." Knowing that even with the help of resources, the hatching of the beast egg could never be completed overnight, Xu Ran carefully moved it to the bedside table on the second floor, and then sat down cross-legged.

"Then now...it's time to break through to the second level!"
