Chapter 66 - 66 What the Hell is a Deceitful
Translator: 549690339
Among these four participants, two of them already had quite a fame in the Beast Master community, even before the competition began.
They were:
Lyu Guang, the inheritor of Bamboo Leaf Martial Arts Pavilion who has surpassed the younger generation of martial artists in Qingzhou City.
Xu Jiujiu, the White Wolf Girl who traveled alone outside the city and returned safely.
The other two were not so well-known, but after a comparison, they were also quickly confirmed.
They were:
The mysterious transfer student from the Second High School for Beast Masters, “Black Dragon Princess” Gu Ling.
Xu Ran, who was dubbed the “Advertising Trickster” for advertising at the competition venue.
Compared with the former three, the last one, Xu Ran, sparked quite a lot of discussions in the Beast Master community with his unconventional approach, and many Beast Masters became interested in the Starfire Foster Care Shop he runs.
However, after the prices for washing and fosterage at the Starfire Foster Care Shop were exposed, most of the eager Beast Masters gave up the idea of visiting.
So expensive! He’s truly an advertising trickster!
On the other hand, Xu Ran, who was labelled as a trickster, spent these two days very happily.
Qingzhou City was not lacking rich Beast Masters. Although most of them were discouraged by the price, the remaining ones were enough to give him a taste of sweetness.
In two days, he washed and groomed six new customers, and after some inspection, three Beast Masters left their Pet Beasts to be fostered in his shop.
The rapid increase of pleasure value and physical point was the happiest thing for him.
The only regret was that after obtaining Thunderbolt Flash, no other skills that could teach Ziyun were gained in these two days of plucking fur.
The considerable benefits he gained just from the preliminary competition further confirmed Xu Ran’s determination to stick for a few more rounds in the New Beast Masters Challenge Match.
One more round of advertisements could attract more customers!
“Goodbye!”
After seeing off another Beast Master customer, Xu Ran yawned and looked at the gradually-dimming sky outside the shop door.
It was closing time again after a busy day.
“Meow-” (The rematch is tomorrow, right?)
Ziyun hopped lightly onto Xu Ran’s shoulder with anticipation in its eyes.
Every match meant more customers would come to the shop!
Which also meant it could learn more skills and become stronger!
“Yes, the preliminary competition ended today, and according to the schedule, there will be no interval between the preliminary and rematch, so the rematch is tomorrow.” Xu Ran smiled. “I am thinking about how to advertise more effectively tomorrow.”
“Meow-” (Go for it!)
Ziyun gave Xu Ran an encouraging look.
Just as the two were about to close the shop, a figure hurriedly approached.
“Boss… Huh? Are you closing?” Liu Gu was leading the bloody Wind Lion Dog and blinked, “Then I’ll come back tomorrow?”
Xu Ran immediately let go of the hand he had placed on the shop door.
“Closing? What closing?” Xu Ran smiled warmly at Lucky Liu. “You can have a wash and grooming now.”
If it were other people, it would be fine, but if it’s Lucky Uncle, he absolutely would take care of his dog!
Well, he happened to have accumulated ten in a row in these past two days. Liu Gu came at the right time.
“Great.” Liu Gu scratched his head with a hehe laugh.
While watching his drama and eating snacks, Liu Gu stayed calm amid the Wind Lion Dog’s familiarly strange growls. Soon, Xu Ran led the brand-new dog out.
“You’ve worked hard, boss!” Looking at the dog that had once again become something he could not afford to own, Liu Gu laughed heartily, “I was used to seeing my dog all dirty and didn’t think it was much, but now that I often wash it and groom it, I’m not used to seeing him too dirty.”
Well, even though it costs more money.
But daily washing and grooming have fully stimulated the dog’s combat enthusiasm. The gains from going out of the city these days have been notably more than before. In fact, he has made more profit after all.
“Habit becomes nature.” Xu Ran casually patted Liu Gu’s shoulder, and his smile got brighter.
Three Skill Fusion Stones, two Energy Abundant Potions, Uncle Liu s lucky constitution is just as always, so stable!
“Speaking of which, I saw a post on the Beast Masters Forum today…” Liu Gu looked at Xu Ran with a slightly strange expression, “Did you participate in that New Beast Masters Challenge Match?”
“Yes, it was a customer who recommended me to go there.” Xu Ran nodded.
“Hey, it’s really you!” Liu Gu laughed, “Advertising your own shop in the competition, that’s really interesting.”
“I just opened the shop not long ago, and I didn’t have the money to advertise, so I had to resort to this.” Xu Ran scratched his head, “Uncle Liu, do you also check the forum?”
“Of course, although there are often some unprofessional posts in the forum, you can still find a lot of useful information if you search carefully.”
Liu Gu said seriously, “For hunting squads like us, we can understand the movement of the beast tide outside the city on it.”
“If you need something, you can also post for help on the forum and let more people help you find ways.”
“I’ll give it a try.” Xu Ran nodded earnestly.
He had been too busy these past two days and hadn’t logged onto the forum. Speaking of which, he made a post when he first registered. He didn’t know if anyone had replied.
“Alright, I’ll go first,” Liu Gu laughed, “It seems that your rematch is tomorrow, right? I just happen to be free, I’ll go to the scene to cheer for you!”
“Thank you, Uncle Liu.” Xu Ran watched Liu Gu leave, then closed the shop door.
After feeding the four pet beasts downstairs, he picked up Ziyun and went upstairs, then logged into the forum on his cellphone.
The post he made before had long been lost in the sea of posts, with no one showing any interest.
However, after checking the new posts on the forum, Xu Ran’s face gradually darkened.
“What the hell is ‘advertising trickster’!” Looking at the nickname someone gave him, Xu Ran was annoyed, “I’ll get that guy who came up with the nickname!”
He just simply advertised, didn’t he know what’s called honest business!
After a quick browse, he didn’t find too much interesting content, Xu Ran threw the cellphone aside, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes to meditate.
He has pretty much learned all the general knowledge about Beast Masters that he needed to know after a period of cramming, and now he also had this artifact called Meditation Acceleration Card, Xu Ran wished he could meditate for 24 hours a day.
Unfortunately, he still needed to run the foster shop during the day. The gains of pleasure value and other skills were also the foundation of his strength, and he couldn’t give them up.
He could only work harder at night.
Seeing the Beast Master who was working hard to improve his contract power through meditation, Ziyun’s face showed a touch of emotion.
It still remembered that it was very difficult for the Beast Master to persist in meditating for even ten minutes in the beginning, but now he was working so hard to break through to Elite Stage.
Moved!
Ziyun lightly walked on the soft mattress, quietly grabbed a corner of the blanket without making a sound, carefully covered Xu Ran’s legs and waist which were sitting cross-legged, then carefully crawled into the blanket, leaned close to Xu Ran and fell asleep with peace of mind..
