Unserious Beast Tamer

“Ziyun is not quite strong enough yet,” Xu Ran honestly said, “Once Ziyun is stronger, I hope to have a chance to learn from you.”

“Alright,” Gu Ling smiled, “Boss Xu, don’t get me wrong, my Dark Scale Dragon is very competitive. When it comes across a worthy opponent, it wants to learn from them. No other intentions.”

“Roar!”

The Dark Scale Dragon nodded in agreement. Seeing that it couldn’t fight today, it crossed its front claws and gave Ziyun a “look forward to a rematch” look.

What a cocky creature!

Ziyun wished to fight the Dark Scale Dragon immediately, but considering the opponent’s skill proficiency was all at the Starlight Level, it quickly cooled down.

The victory over Flame Fox made it a little haughty, but that agitation slowly calmed down.

Ziyun, when still a stray cat, had seen the survival rules of stray cats. The strongest cat in a group of stray cats can snatch food from others, thus nourishing itself and becoming increasingly strong, forming a positive loop. The other cats’ hard-earned food would be partly stolen. They couldn’t get full and became more and more skinny, susceptible to bullying, forming a negative loop.

So stray cats should not only become stronger, but strive to be stronger than other stray cats.

This experience planted the seeds of competitiveness and struggle in Ziyun’s bones, and the challenge from the Dark Scale Dragon ignited its fighting spirit. Although it is not a match for the Dark Scale Dragon now.

It believes that there will come a day when it surpasses the Dark Scale Dragon! Depending on its own 1% effort and the 99% effort of the Beast Master!

“I’m back!”

Gu Ling pushed the door open, entered her home and yelled inside.

“Ling’er, you’re back!” A handsome middle-aged man came out of the kitchen with a soup pot full of aroma, “Have you had lunch?”

“Yes, I had it with Xiaoxiao at Liu’s Beef Noodles,” Gu Ling recalled with a hint of reminiscence in her face, “It’s been a few years, but the taste is still so familiar.”

“Those noodles are indeed excellent.” The middle-aged man nodded, “Even though you’ve had noodles, have some soup too. I just made Pig’s trotters Soup.”

“Give me a bowl!” Gu Ling’s eyes sparkled. Bail she remembered something serious, “Before that, old comrade Gu, I have something to show you.” “What?”

The middle-aged man put the soup pot on the dining table and casually wiped his hands.

The Hexagram Star Array flickered behind Gu Ling, and the Dark Scale Dragon outside was summoned into the house, “Ta-da!”

“You’ve taken it for a wash and protection service?” The middle-aged man laughed, then looked at the Dark Scale Dragon, a trace of surprise in his eyes, “This service is… pretty good! Such a wash and protection service can definitely impact the pet beast’s state.”

“Xiaoxiao took me to a new shop. Their washing and protection service is better than those in Xieyun City. The only problem is that it’s kind of pricey.” “You get what you pay for.” The middle-aged man laughed, “What’s the name of the shop? It’s been a while since the Red-eyed Demon Dragon had a wash and protection service. I’d like to give it a try.”

“It’s called Starfire Foster Care Shop.” Gu Ling giggled, “But they don’t accept super large pet beasts.”

“That’s a pity.” The middle-aged man shrugged, “Alright, let’s enjoy the delicious Pig’s trotters Soup now!”

Both father and daughter served themselves, eating and chatting.

“The transfer is all set up. The day after tomorrow, you will be in the same class as Xiaoxiao.” The middle-aged man sipped his soup, “In your new class, make sure to make some friends.”

“I will, I will.” As she chewed on a tender piece of Pig’s trotters, Gu Ling said somewhat indistinctly, “Speaking of which, old comrade Gu, you had mentioned a New Beast Master challenge match sometime ago. Does it sound like fun?”

“You want to take part?” Like father, like daughter, the middle-aged uncle saw Gu Ling’s intentions in her eyes. “This is a new attempt, and the champion’s reward is certainly good, but it doesn’t mean much to you.”

“I’m just worried that the Dark Scale Dragon won’t face any worthy opponents.” Gu Ling shook her head, “It’s always getting into fights with other pet beasts in Xieyun City.”

“Roar-”

The Dark Scale Dragon, standing next to her, solemnly nodded his head in agreement.

“Then go for it.” The middle-aged uncle pondered for a moment, “I might be very busy going forward, but if you get to the finals, I must come in person to cheer you on.”

“It’s settled then!” Gu Ling took a sip of soup.

The taste was really fresh.

As time flew by, three days had passed.

Ziyun, who had been thoroughly provoked by the Dark Scale Dragon, had entered a state of frenzied training.

Previously, Xu Ran was worried that he would not get any more Energy Abundant Potions once he used up his stock and was considering saving a bottle. However, as he drew more potions, he realized that getting the Energy Abundant Potion was not that hard, so he stopped being so frugal about it.

The remaining two bottles of the Energy Abundant Potion were used up within three days, improving the proficiency of all of Ziyun’s skills significantly.

Even Blood Fury, the skill with the lowest proficiency, had risen from (11/100) to (35/100). Among the other skills, Electric Arc showed the fastest progress, now at (87/100).

Such strenuous training had considerably increased the power of every single one of Ziyun’s skills, and likewise, Ziyun’s growth rate had accelerated rapidly. With the calculated stat increases and daily consumption of Xu Ran’s specially prepared food, Ziyun’s growth rate had gone from (183/500) to (251/500), finally surpassing halfway.

Unfortunately, in the past three days, there have been few Beast Masters for washing and protection, and no suitable skills for Ziyun were found, otherwise, it could have been even stronger.

Even at this point, Ziyun was not satisfied; its goal was to reach Starlight Level in all skills like Dark Scale Dragon, and then fight it!

In the past three days, no new residents were added to the Foster Shop, but the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s condition was improving day by day. Although the pleasure value provided was still lower than the Armored Rhinoceros, it was already much higher than when it first came.

This made Xu Ran could not help but sigh. The strategy of using delicious food to appease was indeed correct.

Early the next morning, Xu Ran prepared food as usual for Ziyun and the two foster care residents. The Armored Rhinoceros, however, seemed a bit unusual.

“Roar-”

It roared at Xu Ran, its eyes flashing with eagerness.

Xu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then he realized.

Yesterday, Du Heng had dropped by the shop to give advance notice. Today, the Hunting Squad would be setting off again, and if need be, Du Heng would summon the Armored Rhinoceros.

“Hurry up.” Xu Ran encouraged, placing the Armored Rhinoceros’s food bowl in front of him and raising his fist, “Cheer up!”

The Shadow Chaser Lizard raised its head from the food bowl.

Over the past three days, it had been inspired by this precedent’s optimism, feeling that the sadness of being abandoned by the Beast Master had faded significantly.

At this moment, it looked at the Armored Rhinoceros, its eyes full of admiration.

Suddenly, the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s eyes widened.

Behind the Armored Rhinoceros, who had finished eating, it saw a shining six-pointed star array.

That was!!!

The Shadow Chaser Lizard watched in disbelief as the Armored Rhinoceros disappeared from sight, suddenly feeling an intense pain in its heart. Even the delicious food in front of it no longer tasted good..
