Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 124 The upper limit of foster care

It was night, outside the closed Xinghuo Nursing Store, there was a man who was two meters tall. He was as strong as a little giant, but his hands, feet and head were very different from humans. His body was covered with hair and he had two cat ears. figure appears.

"Meow~"

Is this the shop where Xiao Huihui washes her hair...

The big cat calmly looked at the closed door of Xinghuo Nursing Home, and scenes of warm scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

Its eyes flashed with nostalgia and reminiscence, but these quickly dissipated and turned into calmness and majesty again.

It's all gone, and now it is just the leader of the stray beasts, the leader who guides these homeless guys correctly.

Recalling some of the details mentioned in Xiao Huihui's explanation, the big cat's face looked a little helpless.

The man who once taught it that what you say is what you say, and what you do is what you do.

I said that I would arrange washing and care for everyone, so I have to arrange it.

But the cleaning and care here is a bit expensive!

The big cat touched his waist, where there was a worn-out small fanny pack, with this little fanny pack, it seemed a little more human.

Inside, there are its savings, money that can be used by human society.

Although the process of obtaining it was not so aboveboard, at least no innocent people were hurt.

In the past, the big cat would use the money to buy food for extraordinary creatures. The process of buying it was to secretly take it and then secretly give the money.

The purchased food was distributed to the hungry stray beasts.

This kind of distribution is not to give them every meal, so that they have enough to eat and drink, but to give them in moderation, and then guide them to get close to humans to get food, and not to hate humans in human cities.

Thanks to its efforts, everyone has gradually got rid of the situation where they can only rely on food provided by them to continue their lives without looting, and they can be self-sufficient.

There is no need to buy food anymore, and the savings are growing.

But now, Da Mao suddenly felt that his savings were a little low.

It counted the number of companions with its paws, and its expression became more and more sad.

"Meow~"

I don’t know if this store can offer discounts...

After standing under the streetlight for a while, the big cat quietly disappeared.
-
"Morning!"

Xu Ran casually squeezed Ziyun and placed it on his face, the soft and warm paw pads, and sat up sleepily from the bed.

After taking a look at the sky, he began to wash and dress.

"Meow~" (I'm going to look at the stars first!)

Ziyun, who woke up Xu Ran, saw that he was going to take off his clothes, and ran away quickly.

After a while, everyone gathered in the foster care area on the basement floor.

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, eat slowly!"

Xu Ran took a sip of the noodles he had ordered for himself and knocked on the side of the bowl, asking the beasts who wanted to stuff their faces into the food bowl to pay attention to their eating habits.

"Ouch-"

"Stop howling, frost wolf. After eating, go back to the snowy hills and howl as you wish!"

"Don't protect Huo Duanzi, no one here drinks kerosene except you!"

After shouting, Xu Ran began to count the foster residents with satisfaction.

"27...28...29!"

His eyes fell on the new resident who moved in yesterday afternoon, and his smile became brighter and brighter.

Foster care residents are about to break through the thirty mark.

You still have to rely on them for your daily physical fitness points!

"Don't be afraid of the pudding rabbit. If they bully you, just..." Xu Ran approached the new residents and before he could finish his words, he saw the pudding rabbit flying up and knocking over the food bowl of the golden ants next to him. .

"Don't bully other residents either!!!"

The whole meal ended with Ziyun gracefully wiping his mouth after finishing his meal and showing off his kingly power.

Seeing the residents eating their meals conscientiously, Xu Ran packed up the food bowls and sent the two pets to the training area to start a new day of training. Then Shi Shiran returned to the first floor and opened the store door.

A day's operation of Xinghuo Nursing Home starts with the first customer standing outside the door early to come in.

"Boss, please wash and take care of my pet!"

"No problem." Xu Ran smiled and stretched out an arm to guide the other person towards the store.

"Huh?" Just as he was about to enter the store with his customers, he suddenly felt something and turned to look outside the store door.

On the street in the early morning, a few passers-by happened to walk by, and everything was as usual.

"...Maybe it's my misunderstanding." Xu Ran shook his head slightly and quickly began to wash and care for the guest's pet.

In a hidden corner of the street, a cat's head slowly poked out, its eyes looking deeply in the direction of the Xinghuo Boarding Shop.

His perception is quite keen. Is he the owner of this store?
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a beast master.

The cat's head slowly retracted, leaving only one eye looking in the direction of the Xinghuo foster care shop through the gap in the bunker.

Secret observation.jpg——
“Welcome next time~”

After waving away today's sixth nursing customer, Xu Ran shook his sore hands with a satisfied smile on his face. He returned to the counter and held his head, looking out the door in a daze.

Today's store can receive an average of six or seven customers for washing and care every day. As the service with the highest pleasure value income, washing and care alone can bring him more than [-] happiness points every day.

Rather foster care...

As the number of pets staying in the store approaches [-], fewer and fewer new customers have come to foster care recently.

Qingzhou City is so big, and the number of beast masters here is not comparable to that in larger cities. There are only a few beast masters who need foster care, and other foster care shops have already been saturated.

Fortunately, the reputation of Xinghuo Nursing Home is getting better and better recently. Many animal masters who have finished their foster care period in other nursing homes have not renewed their subscriptions, but have been sent to Xinghuo Nursing Home, which has brought many residents to the nursing home.

But other foster care shops cannot just sit back and wait. They have successively launched discounts, care and nursing care and other preferential measures, which have better retained some of the swaying customers.

I wonder if today's foster care residents can break through the [-] mark...

"Boss Xu, I'll take care of you!"

"Here we come!" Xu Ran immediately stood up from behind the counter and greeted him cheerfully.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Moreover, they are acquaintances.

Looking at Zhang Yun and the stone-armored dragon behind him, with a hint of anticipation, following closely and constantly looking at the back door of Xinghuo Nursing Home, the smile on Xu Ran's face became even stronger.

"Brother Zhang, are you busy with work again?"

"Yes." Zhang Yun nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "I've been busier at work recently than before. Fortunately, I don't need to go out for too long this time, only three days."

Zhang Yun's voice paused slightly, and he looked at Xu Ran.

"Just these three days, please."

"Don't worry." Xu Ran nodded.

"Of course I feel relieved when I send it to you." Zhang Yun laughed, and then seemed to think of something. He changed his voice and said, "Can I see the activity area assigned to the Stone Armored Dragon?" At this moment, he remembered the last time When I brought my nephew here, I saw the amazing space expansion technology.

Nowadays, the foster care space in Xinghuo Nursing Store is much larger than before. So, will the activity area allocated to our own stone-armored dragon be larger than before?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's eyes suddenly became more hopeful.

"Of course, no problem." Xu Ran opened the back door, "Follow me."

After a while, the two of them stood together in the foster care area on the basement floor.

"This area belongs to the stone-armored dragon." Using the control center, Xu Ran quickly designated a living area for the stone-armored dragon in the foster care area.

It was no longer a small hill made of cobblestones. What appeared in front of Zhang Yun and Shijialong was an undulating hilly terrain made of cobblestones.

In terms of floor area, it is five times larger than before.

You know, when Zhang Yun came last time, there were only three residents in the original foster care area.

"Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?" After the design was completed, Xu Ran turned to look at Zhang Yun.

"No, this is already very good." Zhang Yun shook his head without hesitation, "Boss Xu, your foster care area has changed so much, do you really not need to increase the price?"

"No, it's still the original price." Xu Ran shook his head slightly.

The system has no intention of raising prices, nor does it increase the automatically deducted costs. Naturally, he has no interest in raising prices either.

It’s not like we’re short of money. What if we persuade a customer to leave?
"Boss Xu, you are truly the most conscientious businessman I have ever seen." Zhang Yun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "The forum says you are a profiteer, which is really an injustice to you."

"Yes, it's all rumors." Xu Ran sighed, and his eyes suddenly became friendly when looking at Zhang Yun.

Just for your words, I will give the Stone Armored Dragon a small start!
"Okay, then I'll go." Zhang Yun nodded, bent down and patted Shijialong's big head, "I'll pick you up when I come back!"

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and transferred the three-day foster care fee to Xu Ran before leaving.

Xu Ran wanted to send him off, but when he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped.

A line of text appeared in front of his eyes.

[Foster care residents have reached the upper limit]

what?
Ah? ?

Xu Ran, who had just reached thirty foster care residents, felt that he had reached another milestone and decided to keep up his efforts. Xu Ran, who had already had forty residents, suddenly lost his expression.

No... Thirty is the upper limit?

He couldn't help turning his head, and looked at the remaining about half of the foster care space that could be used under his plan.

Such a large space is more than enough to accommodate fifty or sixty residents, right?

"You are obviously unreasonable!" Xu Ran couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "In such a big place, the upper limit is thirty people?"

As if aware of Xu Ran's complaints, the line of text that appeared in front of his eyes paused for a moment, and then quickly changed to another line of text.

[The energy of the host is limited. Fostering more pets will cause the energy to be overly dispersed, and the pets fostered in the store will not be able to receive the best care and attention. 】

"Energy is limited..." Xu Ran's mouth twitched slightly.

He always felt that this scene seemed familiar.

I've had a similar situation before when I washed it.

It's not that the upper limit has been reached, but it's a reminder that washing and care cannot be repeated within a short period of time.

The situation is different now, but essentially the same.

"So, if I increase my energy, will the upper limit of foster pets in the store be increased?" Xu Ran speculated.

When the strength is strong, the energy will naturally be strong.

The system did not respond to Xu Ran's speculation, so Xu Ran stood there and continued to speculate.

In addition to increasing strength, there is another possible way to increase the upper limit of foster care, and that is through system upgrades.

The last upgrade brought such a large foster care space, Xu Ran has reason to believe that the next system upgrade will also greatly improve the service.

However, Xu Ran's main mission 1 has not yet been completed, and the system upgrade is far away.

In addition to these two methods, the third and most feasible method is to hire store clerks.

A person's energy is limited, Xu Ran runs the Xinghuo foster care shop by himself, and he personally handles the care, foster care and sparring, which is very strange.

If there are new employees in the store, Xu Ran will naturally have more energy to take care of more foster residents.

But the problem is that the Xinghuo Foster Care Shop is not an ordinary foster care shop, and it is impossible to hire normal shop assistants here.

It is impossible for a normal clerk to bring him pleasure points and benefits from various system skills, so the only thing he can get is the money from business.

What does he want the money for?
and so…

"Is this the meaning of the system clerk's existence?"

Thinking of the mission rewards of Main Mission 1, Xu Ran felt a little more enlightened.

Since there was no more detailed introduction and explanation of the task rewards, he could only complete the task as soon as possible to see what the system clerk was like.

but…

This day won't be long.

Xu Ran glanced at his personal panel subconsciously.

【Hair (Grade B)】(49/500)

【Drug (Level C)】(351/500)

【Rehabilitation (Level C)】(56/500)

The condition for completing the main mission 1 is that all three system skills have reached B level. Now Xu Ranmao has reached B level, which is equivalent to one-third of the way.

The progress of prescribing the medicine is also very fast. Now every day after midnight, when the time for experience settlement comes, it can bring him more than 20 experience points.

With the Shi Jialong moving in, the foster residents reached the upper limit, and then they could gain 30 experience points every day, and they would soon be able to break through the B level.

As for the whole life…

Xu Ran acquired this skill last, so in order to keep up with the progress of the other two skills and break through B level as soon as possible, Xu Ran has been promoting new business to the customers in the store during the past period of business.

Anyone who musters up the courage to give it a try will be shocked by the amazing training efficiency of the sparring service at Spark Nursing Home. From then on, he becomes a regular customer of the store and visits regularly for sparring, so his experience increases quickly.

"Sorry?"

"Meow?"

The suspicious voices of Xingchen and Ziyun brought Xu Ran back from his thoughts.

"Have you two completed training?" Xu Ran smiled as he looked at the two pet beasts who were slightly tired, but their eyes were shining.

"Meow?" (Have the resources been delivered?)
Ziyun asked expectantly.

"Not yet." Xu Ran shook his head, "It should be almost time, right? You two will go upstairs with me and wait?"

The two beasts looked at each other, and Qi Qi followed behind Xu Ran.

They spent so much points redeeming resources yesterday, and they can't wait to use them!
