Unserious Beast Tamer

At the sound of Xu Ran’s question, the Shadow Chaser Lizard stood rooted to the spot.

Its eyes became increasingly complex.

Anger, resentment, disappointment…

Recalling the past, a flood of emotions surged in its heart.

After a long while, the Shadow Chaser Lizard nodded its head vigorously.

“Ka!”

It wanted to become stronger!

If it could become stronger than the Variegated Dragon Sparrow, the Beast Master would certainly not abandon it.

“Good, but you should know that your talent compared to the Variegated Dragon Sparrow, falls short.” Xu Ran spoke seriously.

“Ka~”

The Shadow Chaser Lizard nodded its head, its mood dipping with the admission.

Even among the Leader Species, there were disparities.

Despite its reluctance to accept this, the gulf between its strength and the Variegated Dragon Sparrow’s was not easy to bridge.

“But I have a solution.” Xu Ran slowly stated.

The Shadow Chaser Lizard suddenly lifted his head, its pitch-black eyes blazing with anticipation.

Really… Is there a solution?

“You’ve been living here for three days, how do you find the food I provided daily?” Xu Ran carefully broached.

Food?

The Shadow Chaser Lizard recalled the food here, its initial impression was of unprecedented deliciousness, but soon after, it seemed to realize something, and its eyes brightened.

“That’s right, the food here, something you can’t buy outside, is the most conducive to your growth.” Xu Ran boasted without any blush, “In this respect, you’re already winning.”

“As long as you don’t give up, you can train here and become stronger.” Xu Ran slowly said, “With better food to replenish your strength, your progress will certainly be greater than the Variegated Dragon Sparrow’s.”

“On the contrary, if you remain dispirited while the Variegated Dragon Sparrow is constantly improving itself, the gap between you two will only widen.”

His words stung the Shadow Chaser Lizard into wakefulness, its eyes suddenly glowed with newfound resolve.

Yes, by remaining despondent, wasn’t it playing right into the Variegated Dragon Sparrow’s hands?

No! Even though the Beast Master left it here, it couldn’t stop its daily training! It has to become stronger! Become even stronger!

Seeing the Shadow Chaser Lizard, whose fighting spirit was ignited in an instant and whose depression was swept away, Xu Ran smiled.

Indeed, only the right remedy could solve the problem,

“You should quietly evolve, then seize the opportunity to amaze everyone.”

“Ka!”

The Shadow Chaser Lizard nodded vigorously, etching Xu Ran’s words in its mind.

Quietly evolve, huh…

It got it!

The Shadow Chaser Lizard melded into the shadows in an instant, weaving through the Stone Forest like a ghost, repeatedly attacking the empty air, unleashing fierce attacks.

Like a hunter concealed in the dark, it was sharpening its blade!

[Pleasure value from Shadow Chaser Lizard +1]

Seeing the Pleasure value from the Shadow Chaser Lizard once more, Xu Ran smiled.

Yes, just like this.

You work hard in training, I earn pleasure value, we all have a beautiful tomorrow.

“Meow-” (How’s the new occupant?)

Seeing Xu Ran come out from the back door, Ziyun slowly stood up, elegantly pounced into his arms.

Seeing Zhang Yun leave alone, it guessed that there was a new guest in the shop.

“He’s been settled in. Not only that, I’ve successfully enlightened the Shadow Chaser Lizard as well!” Xu Ran smiled, rubbing Ziyun’s head, and told it about what happened after discovering Zhang Yun knew Zhou Hao, the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s owner.

However, after finishing, Xu Ran noticed that Ziyun wasn’t happy about the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s renewed spirit, on the contrary, it seemed a little downcast.

“What happened?” He asked in confusion.

Ziyun looked at Xu Ran, rubbed his palm with its head, then cautiously meowed.

“Meow-” (Will you abandon me for a second pet in the future?)

So, that was what he was worried about.

Xu Ran fell silent.

It seemed that the story of the Shadow Chaser Lizard had made this clingy little guy think about itself.

“Come to think of it, the experience of the Shadow Chaser Lizard served as a reminder for me,” Xu Ran stroked its head to comfort it, “I won’t hastily contract any pet beast afterwards.”

“I will only make a contract when I’m sure it can get along harmoniously with previous members.”

“Meow!” (That’s better!)

Ziyun nodded in satisfaction.

As Xu Ran’s first pet beast, all future pet beasts had to live in peace with it!

“Of course, you can’t bully the later pet beasts either.” Xu Ran patted this somewhat proud little fellow, “As a senior, you need to take care of your juniors.”

“Meow-” (Okay-)

After agreeing, Ziyun quickly thought of something more important.

“Meow-” (Did the last grooming give me any new skills?)

“Ah…there is one, but this skill is of earth attribute, you can’t learn it.” Xu Ran gave an embarrassed smile, “Next time for sure.”

Alright then.

Ziyun helplessly spread its paws.

“Meow-” (Then I want to take a bath!)

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve almost forgotten.” Xu Ran looked at his own pet beast.

Considering they spent every day together, he hadn’t noticed how long it had been since Ziyun’s last grooming.

“Let’s go! Time for a bath!”

Xu Ran closed the shop door, carrying Ziyun into the grooming room.

A moment later, a soft and trembling voice came from the closed Starfire Foster Shop, attracting the attention of passersby.

“Meow???? ”

Xu Ran sat behind the counter, propping his cheeks up. Beside him laid Ziyun, its appearance significantly enhanced after grooming. It lazily stretched its paws, swinging its fluffy tail from time to time, and occasionally glancing at its Beast Master.

No wonder that Flame Fox always wanted another grooming session.

But it had already been defeated by him!

Ziyun’s thoughts hopped around as agilely as its body, soon shifting from Flame Fox to the Dark Scale Dragon who continued to pressurize it.

Though it had defeated the Flame Fox, it shouldn’t grow proud.

It had to defeat that detestable Dark Scale Dragon!

Its eyes squinted slightly, and suddenly, a fighting spirit surged within it. “Meow-” (I want to train! I want to upgrade all my skills to Starlight Level!) “Training, huh…” pondering, Xu Ran rubbed his chin, opened his personal panel, and checked his Pleasure value, which had already exceeded ten thousand.

The Energy Abundant Potions had been depleted, a ten-draw lottery should be able to replenish some.

But without Lucky Liu around, wouldn’t ten consecutive draws be a bit risky?

With a ten-draw lottery in hand, there’s no way he would come out empty-handed.

After staring at the lottery interface for a while, Xu Ran finally made a decision.

Draw!

Without Lucky Liu, he refused to believe he wouldn’t get anything good.

After setting off with his ten draws, Xu Ran’s face tightened, getting nervous as the draws proceeded.

The roulette spun rapidly, and rays of light wrapped around different items flew out.

Good news, he got a blue item.

Bad news, there was only one.

Aside from the negligible effects of the white items, Xu Ran had only received three doses of Energy Abundant Potion and one Skill Fusion Stone.

The three doses of Energy Abundant Potion should be enough to upgrade all of Ziyun’s skills to Starlight Level. As for the Skill Fusion Stone…

There weren’t enough of them, and he didn’t have any particular skills that needed fusion for now. Better save it for later.

Looking at the open prizes, Xu Ran heaved a deep sigh.

Next time, if Lucky Liu isn’t around, he absolutely won’t draw a lottery..
