Unserious Beast Tamer

[Additional update 3/10 for the sound of light spring flowing in the Silver Alliance]

Thanks to the powerful acceleration effect of the Meditation Acceleration Card, the only purple reward Xu Ran has drawn so far, Xu Ran had already reached the opportunity to break through the power of the contract before the finals began.

If it weren't for participating in the finals, he might have made a breakthrough in one go.

Now that the finals are over, nothing can stop him and Ziyun from breaking through!

"Meow~"

Ziyun jumped off the bed lightly and landed on a small open space in the room. It quietly curled up its body, waiting for the opportunity to break through.

"I'm starting!"

Xu Ran took a deep breath, and then slowly closed his eyes. Just like the previous few days, the meditation accelerator card easily suppressed all distracting thoughts, and he instantly entered meditation.

As time passed, the extraordinary energy in the air around him began to stir.

They seemed to resonate with some strange force, and the originally disorderly state began to change, and finally converged towards a fixed position like a river merging into the sea.

That location is where Xu Ran is.

To be more precise, it was the position between Xu Ran's eyebrows.

In Xu Ran's perception, there was another feeling.

He could feel that a trace of coolness was born from the center of his eyebrows, and then quickly merged into his limbs, giving him a feeling of comfort from the inside out.

The beast control contract gradually strengthens with the breakthrough.

This enhancement is divided into two aspects. One is the enhancement of contract capabilities.

With the power of a first-level contract, the beast master can automatically obtain the ability: Contract Sense.

This ability allows the beast master to communicate with the pet regardless of distance. At this moment, as the power of the contract breaks through the second level, the contract sensing has received a small strengthening. Xu Ran can use it in the future to directly learn the status of the pet. .

Whether you are depressed or in pain can be directly understood.

A small increase is better than nothing.

The more important enhancement of the Beast Control Contract is the enhancement of power feedback.

If the power that Ziyun can feed back to Xu Ran is 10 in the first-level beast control contract, then the power that can be fed back to Xu Ran in the current second-level contract has become 12.

This is feedback under the same strength.

Before he had time to feel the growth of his own strength, Xu Ran felt a new wave of power coming towards him like a tide, continuously integrating into his limbs and bones.

In comparison, the trace of strength that had just grown was almost nothing!

This is... Ziyun's breakthrough!

At the same time that Xu Ran's beast-controlling power broke through to the second level, Ziyun, who was curled up, felt the bottleneck of his own strength loosen.

With Xu Ran's extra points, its growth level has already reached the limit of the extraordinary level. If it weren't for the power of Xu Ran's contract that restricted its breakthrough, Ziyun would have already reached the elite level.

But now, it finally no longer needs to be restricted!

From the day Xu Ran started practicing seriously, Ziyun had been looking forward to the moment when he would break through countless times. Now that this moment had really come, he chose to break through without hesitation.

The majestic power surged from the large space outside the foster care shop and converged towards the living area on the second floor of the Spark Nursing Home.

——

"Is this the shop opened by the young man named Xu Ran?"

Standing in front of the Xinghuo Nursing Store, Gu Wu glanced at the signboard and chuckled, "The store looks ordinary, but I didn't expect the boss inside to be so interesting."

"Boss Xu's care is indeed very good. As for foster care, although I have not tried it, I have heard that the pets fostered here are reluctant to go back." Gu Ling pursed her lips and smiled.

Behind the two of them, followed the Dark Scale Dragon.

It's just that the Dark Scale Dragon looks a little miserable at this moment.

The injuries it suffered from fighting Ziyun in the finals have long since been cured, but now it still looks bruised and swollen, as if it has been severely punished.

"Ang~"

I want to take care of myself!

The dark scale dragon spoke weakly.

It was beaten like this because of the owner of this store!

Ask your boss to give you a good bath, of course!

"I also want to take you to take care of yourself, but the door is not open." Gu Ling spread her hands and pointed at the closed door of the store.

"It's a pity that I can only come and have a look next time." Gu Wu smiled, "His pet beast is interesting. I originally wanted to take a closer look."

"Next time I come back, I want to fight the boss again." After losing once, Gu Ling became more fighting spirit and said with a smile, "I have to work hard to win it back."

"Um..." Gu Wu's eyes suddenly moved and he looked towards the second floor of the foster care shop. After a moment, his expression became strange, "I think this might be a bit difficult."

"Comrade Lao Gu, how can you gain the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!" Gu Ling couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"No, what I mean is..." Gu Wu pointed to the second floor, "Xu Ran should have broken through to the second level."

"Eh?!"

——

Compared to Xu Ran's improvement, Ziyun's breakthrough was much more powerful.

It is like a black hole, greedily devouring the power coming from all around. While its own momentum is increasing, its body is also making a crisp "crackling" sound. The rapid growth of its bones makes its body visibly larger. .

Soon, the changes stopped.

Ziyun, who was originally only one meter long including his tail, now reaches about one and a half meters long including his tail.

Although it has not yet reached the category of medium-sized pets, it is larger than before.

Ziyun's physical characteristics have not changed, but she is a little less childish and cute, and a little more majestic.

Compared to the changes in his body, the changes in Ziyun's strength were even more astonishing.

Every improvement in the growth level of a pet beast is a process of leaping in strength. At this time, the growth of strength is no longer smooth, but will increase a lot all at once.

At this moment, its power has increased almost ten times compared to the perfection of the extraordinary level. The two are not at all of the same order of magnitude.

Not to mention one hitting ten, Ziyun wouldn't find it difficult even if one hits one hundred against the person he was a few minutes ago.

It has already begun to consider whether to go to the underground level and fight with the elite pet beasts fostered here.

Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ziyun who had grown much bigger in front of him, and suddenly smiled, "You've grown so much, it's a bit hard to hold."

"Meow?!" (What?!)

The hair all over Ziyun's body suddenly exploded, and the good mood he had just broken through disappeared in an instant.

no!

It wants the beast master's hug!

"You want me to hug you so much?" Seeing Ziyun getting bigger but still approaching for a hug, Xu Ran laughed dumbly, hugged it and touched its head, "Don't worry too much, I heard there is a The skill is called miniaturization, which can make pet beasts shrink in size."

"Although I haven't acquired this skill yet, I will have the opportunity in the future."

"Meow~" (Really?)

Ziyun felt better after hearing that there was a solution.

In this case, it must find a way to obtain this miniaturization skill!

When you encounter a pet with the ability to shrink, you have to drag it for care even if you drag it!

After calming down Ziyun, Xu Ran turned to look at the clock on the wall.

There is still an hour left before the usual closing time.

I encountered a lot of things today. First, I won the championship in the finals, then I picked a somewhat special beast egg, and finally I successfully broke through the second-level contract power.

Decided! Open the store again tomorrow!

Just when Xu Ran had this idea, a familiar voice came faintly outside the window.

"Boss Xu! Is Boss Xu here?"

This voice... seems to be Gu Ling's?

Recognizing the owner of the voice, Xu Ran got out of bed and walked to the window, opening it.

"I'm here, 伱..."

Xu Ran responded casually, and was about to ask the other party why he was here. When he saw the person next to Gu Ling, he swallowed his words instantly and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It's him!

Xu Ran will never forget that he was escorted out of the city by the tiger hunting team to complete the novice mission given by the system, and encountered the danger of the beast tide.

He will also never forget that at the most critical moment, the strong man who was like a divine soldier descending from the sky saved him and the Tiger Hunting Team from danger.

Although the lucky charm he drew played a certain role in it, he would not take the other party's rescue for granted.

It's a pity that he never met the other party later and had no chance to thank him.

He never expected that this strong man would appear in front of him like this!

"Wait a minute, I'll be down right now!"

Without saying a word, Xu Ran immediately closed the window, tidied his clothes, and prepared to go downstairs.

"Um..." Looking at Xu Ran's sudden change in expression, Gu Ling looked puzzled, "What's wrong with him?"

"Hmm... maybe you are in a good mood just after the breakthrough?" Gu Wu was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

He noticed the way the young man looked at him, and combined with what the Red-Eyed Demonic Dragon said before, it was no surprise that the other person must have recognized him.

what to do? How can I pretend to be this cool in front of my daughter?

Waiting online, a bit urgent.

"Maybe." Gu Ling shook his head helplessly, "Comrade Lao Gu, Xu Ran really broke through to the second level?"

"Just now I felt the fluctuation of the pet beast breaking through the elite level." Gu Wu nodded slightly, "Combined with his reaction at the moment, it should be correct."

"Hey, I'm still far away from the second level. It seems that we have to wait a long time to fight back from the Dark Scale Dragon battle." Gu Ling patted the Dark Scale Dragon who looked helpless on the side.

She had just contracted with Dark Scale Dragon.

The main reason why the Dark Scale Dragon is so powerful is that it is the descendant of Gu Wu's Red-Eyed Demonic Dragon. It has been supervised and trained by the Red-Eyed Demonic Dragon before the contract was made.

Gu Ling has not yet contracted his second favorite, and is currently undergoing pre-contract training in advance. The goal is to reach the elite level and the full-skilled moon level by the time of the contract.

This kind of training method is rare in Qingzhou City, a third-level town, but in second-level important towns and even higher first-level capitals, qualified beastmasters will try their best to cultivate pet beasts in this way.

While the father and daughter were talking, Xu Ran opened the door of the foster care shop.

"May…"

Just as Gu Ling was about to say hello, Xu Ran, who was walking in a hurry, had already passed by.

He quickly walked up to Gu Wu and said with gratitude, "I finally met you. Thank you so much for the last time. If it weren't for you, I might have been buried in the beast tide."

Gu Ling: "???"

She turned her head blankly and looked at Xu Ran and her father.

So...can anyone tell her what happened? !

Gu Wu gave Xu Ran an approving look.

Well, this pussy is so silky, and it’s all thanks to you.

He coughed lightly, and his aura suddenly gained a touch of master's demeanor, "Just do it casually, it doesn't have to be like this."

"I have heard my daughter talk about your store before. I saw your performance in the finals and came over to take a look out of curiosity." Gu Wu glanced at Ziyun who was following Xu Ran and had already broken through the elite level. "It's just right. I bumped into your breakthrough."

"Daughter?" Xu Ran turned his head and glanced at Gu Ling, then suddenly realized.

Yes, calculating the time, the time when the strong man in front of him and Gu Ling came to Qingzhou City were very close.

It's a pity that I didn't think of this at all before.

"Senior Gu, please come inside." Xu Ran said quickly, "If you have pets that need care, just ask."

"Yes, yes, but my four pet beasts are all super large beasts. It seems that you can't wash and care for them here, right?" Gu Wu followed him into the store and shook his head slightly, "Don't bother, I'm here for you today. Here comes your pet beast.”

"Well, there is really nothing we can do now, but maybe we can in the future." Xu Ran insisted, "If there is a chance in the future, I hope that Senior Gu can bring his pet animals to the store for cleaning and care, especially the red-eyed demon dragon. This can be regarded as a reward for this junior. .”

"In that case, I am disrespectful." Gu Wu, who heard the expectant voice of the red-eyed dragon in his mind, no longer refused.

"Senior, you just said that you came here for my Ziyun?" Xu Ran glanced at Ziyun, "Is it because its race is unknown?"

"I'm also a little curious about this, but it's not the key to my coming." Gu Wu smiled, "I came because in the finals, I saw it use two skills that are stronger than ordinary two-stars."

Is it because of this?

Xu Ran was shocked.

Before he could think too much, Gu Wu slowly said, "Do you want to know the secret of evolution?"

"I would like to hear the details." Xu Ran was refreshed.

The beast master in front of him is at least a general-level beast master. His pet beast has evolved, and he naturally understands evolution better.

"You should know that the leader race can only reach the leader level at most. If you want to break through in the future, you can only evolve into a king race with greater potential." Gu Wu said slowly, "And from the leader race to the king race, there are two a common denominator."

"The first thing they have in common is the awakening of the special three-star skill that belongs to the king race, the power of the king." Gu Wu glanced at Xu Ran's expression, "It seems you already know this."

"Besides that, another important thing in common is that all innate skills will undergo star promotion." Gu Wu paused slightly, "Whether it is a skill with attributes or a skill without attributes."

"All talent skills will become more powerful higher-level talent skills, which will be upgraded by one star."

"This..." Xu Ran's pupils suddenly shrank.

Evolution actually has such a magical effect?

No wonder it is the ultimate pursuit of all beast masters.

"Everyone knows that evolution is difficult, but few people know that the difficulty of evolution is to upgrade all the innate skills to stars." Gu Wu explained, "This is not something that beast masters and pet beasts can do with their own efforts. "

"It requires the pet beast's potential to be fully unleashed."

"So different pet beasts have different evolutionary potentials."

“It’s not that the more talents and skills you have, the harder it is to evolve, nor that the fewer talents and skills you have, the easier it is to evolve.”

"The easier it is to upgrade your talent skills to stars, the easier it will be for your pet beast to evolve."
