Unserious Beast Tamer

“Roar???? ”

Hearing the sound from the fostering room, Ziyun slightly rose from the counter, scratching the itch behind her ear with her hind paw.

Next, she turned her attention towards the direction of the rest room. Strange, usually at this time, Beast Masters waiting outside would react differently due to the peculiar noises of the pet beasts. Why did this Beast Master guest show no reaction?

Oh, he’s wearing headphones, no problem then.

Watching Zhang Yun in the rest room listening to music and snacking with his headphones on, Ziyun shifted her gaze away, yawned out of boredom.

Such a killjoy.

Time passed by the second, the continuous strange noise from the fostering room made Ziyun fidget uneasily.

Strange, why has this noise been going on for so long?

Speaking of, it’s been a while since the Beast Master groomed me, right?

A thoughtful expression crossed Ziyun’s face.

Looking into the mirror next to her, she felt she was considerably dirtier now compared to just after her grooming.

Well, she’d better remind the Beast Master later, it was time to groom her!

She couldn’t just focus on grooming other’s pet beasts and forget about her own!

“Creak-”

The door of the grooming room opened.

Amid the mist, Xu Ran emerged step by step, followed by the Stone Armored Dragon with a bewildered expression and wavering steps.

“Your Stone Armored Dragon is groomed!” Seeing Zhang Yun wearing headphones in the rest room, Xu Ran went up and patted his shoulder.

“Ah? Oh good!” Zhang Yun removed his headphones and turned to look at his pet beast.

The next moment, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Is this his pet beast?!

The Stone Armored Dragon now had every piece of its stone scales polished to perfection, no gaps between the scales and seamlessly fit together. The surface was even waxed, reflecting light like a gemstone under the illumination.

The irregularly structured scales were tightly compacted now, making the Stone Armored Dragon appear as though it had slimmed down by a bit.

But this transformation didn’t detract from its imposing presence at all, instead highlighting its muscular figure and creating a sense of power.

This was the first time Zhang Yun had seen his Stone Armored Dragon like this.

No other store’s grooming service could achieve this effect, they wouldn’t even polish the stone scales!

He stood in place for a long time before reacting, “How much did it cost again?” “66666 yuan.” Seeing Zhang Yun grabbing his cellphone ready to scan the payment QR code, Xu Ran interrupted hurriedly, “You’ve already paid.”

“Oh right…”

Zhang Yun finally remembered that he’d already paid before the grooming. He couldn’t help it. Such impressive grooming results made him feel like it s completely worth it” in an instant, and he subconsciously wanted to pay once more…

It seemed like his experience was truly limited, there were indeed grooming services that were worth every penny of the high price.

Zhang Yun felt he’d gained valuable knowledge.

However, next, a thought came to his mind.

Since the expensive grooming service was worth its cost, then what about the fostering service here, which was also much pricier than anywhere else?

“Can you show me around your fostering facilities?” Zhang Yun suddenly asked.

“Of course, no problem.” Xu Ran nodded, “Follow me.”

“Meow-” (I’ll guard the store!)

Ziyun meowed lazily, watching as Xu Ran led Zhang Yun and the Stone Armored Dragon toward the back door, before shifting her gaze away.

She wondered if the recent grooming session gained any new skills.

She’d have to ask later.

And also remind the Beast Master about grooming her.

Leading Zhang Yun and the Stone Armored Dragon into the underground passage to the fostering area, Xu Ran looked at the personal panel that only he could see before him, slightly frowning.

Pleasure Value: 9863

System Upgrade Experience: 300/1000]

Just one grooming session with the Stone Armored Dragon resulted in over three thousand pleasure points. His total pleasure points are now sufficient for one Ten Consecutive Draw.

However, this isn’t the focal point for Xu Ran.

He looked at the new skill he had gained from plucking fur, Rock Eruption, and found himself considering a problem he hadn’t thought of before.

That is, handling useless skills.

The skills acquired through grooming are random, and out of Xu Ran’s control. Some of these skills share the same attributes with Ziyun, or don’t have any attributes and therefore can be taught to Ziyun, while other skills simply cannot be taught for various reasons such as differing attributes.

These skills might be useful once Xu Ran contracts with a pet beast of the same attribute, but as of now, they are useless.

He cannot possibly refuse to groom or give up an opportunity to gam plucking fur experience just because a client’s pet beast has a different attribute-hence, the amount of useless skills will inevitably increase.

It’s like storing a bunch of junk in a warehouse long term, there will be problems down the line.

To solve this, Xu Ran considered that there might be two solutions.

The first is to find a way to deal with these useless skills via the system, but as it stands, it is unknown if the system has such a method, and it likely won’t respond to queries.

In other words, leave it up to fate.

The second is to rely on himself.

By contracting with pet beasts of differing attributes in the future, he can reduce the number of useless skills and maximize the function of plucking fur.

-Your foster area sure is large,” Zhang Yun looked around as they entered the Foster Area and couldn’t help but exclaim.

His remark brought Xu Ran out of his reverie.

The problem with useless skills isn’t urgent, he should focus on his present guest.

“The environment of our Foster Area can be adjusted and changed,” Xu Ran explained with a smile, “If you choose to leave your pet beast with us, we will designate a specific area and modify it to fit its needs perfectly.

As he spoke, he took out the control hub and changed the landscape beneath their feet to a formation of undulating rocks, right in front of Zhang Yun’s eyes.

“Impressive,” Zhang Yun admired.

During his visit to the Beast King Foster Shop, a staff member mentioned similar technology and said their shop would soon introduce such tech.

The Beast King Foster Shop only promised, but this foster shop has actually done it.

just based on this, Zhang Yun felt that the higher foster fee was somewhat justified.

“What kind of food would you feed my pet beast if I foster it here?”

“All of it is personally prepared by me. This is our Preparation Room, specifically used to prepare meals for the pet beasts each day.” Xu Ran led Zhang Yun into the Preparation Room and was once again greeted with his admiration.

There is now only one question left.

“Which pet beasts are currently staying in your shop?” Zhang Yun asked earnestly.

He wanted to see how the neighbours of the Stone Armored Dragon would be after it is fostered.

“Currently, we have two beasts being fostered. That Armored Rhinoceros.” Xu Ran pointed at the Armored Rhinoceros basking in the sun by the mud pond then gestured to the Shadow Chaser Lizard peeking out from nearby rocks, “And this Shadow Chaser Lizard.”

“Hmm?” Seeing that familiar Shadow Chaser Lizard, Zhang Yun raised an eyebrow..
