Chapter 83 - 76: Sudden Surprise, New Skills Pranks !_2
Just by its name, Xu Ran can imagine where it could be used.
So skills can be upgraded from now on?
He first looked at Ziyun on the side, but seeing Ziyun asleep, his movements involuntarily softened.
Hmm… stay calm.
Xu Ran took a deep breath, quickly realizing the problem with this skill.
Training and fostering are definitely not the same thing.
If a small pet beast that is about a meter long needs a space the size of a room for foster care, then the space it needs for training is much larger.
The size of the training space doesn’t correlate much with the body type, but rather with strength. Even for the Transcendent Stage pet beasts, training requires an area of ten thousand square meters (100×100).
For stronger ones at the Elite Stage and Leadership Stage, the required area is even larger.
Such a space is definitely not available at the underground floor at the moment.
So, do I need to obtain the training module first, then start the sparring business, and gain skill points through the new skill “Pranks”?
After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Ran looked back at his personal panel.
Referring to the previous situation when he acquired “Drug Application”, then as expected…
“[Novice Task 5: Little Fame
Task Description: Please let the host get the local fame of the Foster Shop reach 50% (413/50)
Task Reward: Training Function Module, System Upgrade Experience +400]”
As expected!
Xu Ran showed an unsurprised expression.
Novice Task 5 is the task to unlock the training function!
The system really did a good job, every task is interconnected!
After calming his mind, Xu Ran started to carefully browse the newly appeared task.
Fame?
This is a completely new concept.
This task is quite different from the previous ones.
Looking at the progress bar that changed from 413 to 41.4 during the browsing process, Xu Ran raised his brows, deep in thought.
From the literal meaning, it should refer to the ratio of residents in Qingzhou City who know about Starfire Foster Care Shop?
As the final match is getting closer, the influence of the New Beast Master Challenge Match is gradually fermenting. Some residents who had never heard of the competition before, learned about the competition and thus about Starfire Foster Care Shop, encouraged by their friends and family.
Therefore, even at midnight, my fame will automatically increase.
So, even if I do nothing? This task can complete itself after a certain period?
This might be the easiest task Xu Ran had undertaken so far.
Of course, Xu Ran not only wants to complete it, but also hopes to complete it earlier.
After all, once the training module opens, he can use the new skill to prank, gain skill points to upgrade Ziyun.
And the way to speed up the task completion is quite obvious.
“It seems that in tomorrow’s finals, I must continue to advertise.”
Xu Ran muttered silently, looking at Ziyun sleeping soundly beside him.
Then, his eyes fell on another reward for Novice Task 5.
System Upgrade Experience +400.
He hadn’t paid attention to this reward before, but now…
“[Host: Xu Ran
Contract Power: First Stage
Contract Pet Beast: Ziyun [Details]
System Skills:

[Drug Application (C-level)] (3/500)

Physical Points: 516 (Available)
Skill Points: 0
Pleasure value: 8123
System Upgrade Experience: 600/1000]”
After looking at the last line of his personal panel, the System Upgrade Experience has changed to 600/1000, Xu Ran felt more anticipation than before.
After completing this task, what he will be welcoming is not just the newly added training module, but also the system upgrade.
Although he doesn’t know what practical benefits the system upgrade will bring to himself, just hearing it sounds quite exciting.
Things having come to this, continue meditating!
Xu Ran closed his eyes again, a smile playing on his face.
In order to complete Novice Task 5, he had to think about how to advertise tomorrow seriously.
“Ladies! Gentlemen!”
“Welcome to the New Beast Master Challenge Match!”
The next day, early in the morning, the excited voice of the host echoed throughout the venue of the finals.
The venue for the finals had been switched again.
The specifications of the central fighting arena were the same as during the semifinals, the participating contestants still consisted of Xu Ran and three others, but the seating capacity of the spectator stands had increased significantly.
Looking at the full-house situation, Xu Ran sitting on the contestants’ seat, couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
Even the organizers are helping me!
It’s great to have a crowd, the more people around, the more efficient his advertising becomes, and the speed of completing the Novice Task 5 also escalates.
“Didn’t the staff take away your bag today?” Xu Jiujiu, looking at the big sack on Xu Ran’s back, chuckled and asked.
“They wanted to, but I told them that this bag is my spiritual belief and I had to bring it to the finals.” Xu Ran patted his backpack heavily, looking serious.
Whoever stops him from completing the task, he will argue with!
“Meow-” (Must wear it!)
Ziyun, curled up in Xu Ran’s arms, suddenly beat his front paws on Xu Ran’s arm, raising its top half high like a furious declamation, its expression was very serious.
Early in the morning, Xu Ran told it that the effect of today’s advertisement would influence whether it could get additional skill points later.
Skill! Extra points!
Even though it’s already used to the feeling of becoming stronger with the Energy Abundant Potion, but if it can increase skill proficiency without training, Ziyun is incredibly willing!
So today, it’s going to be serious!
Ziyun glared at the Dark Scale Dragon nearby, whose front claws were crossed over its chest.
You’re done for today!
Meanwhile, Xu Ran placed his backpack on the table, unzipped it, and started taking pieces of the advertising suit out.
A jacket with the words “Starfire Foster Care Shop”!
Well, this is what he is going to put on when he walks onto the stage.
A tiny outfit with the words “Starfire Foster Care Shop”!
Well, this is what Ziyun is going to wear.
Considering that Ziyun will be fighting with all its might, Xu Ran specially spent a lot of money preparing a customized outfit that wouldn’t hinder its performance and won’t be easily damaged.
His main goal was to serve a heartfelt advertisement!
Not only that…
Xu Ran took out his treasure from the bag.
The slogan flag that’s been used since the audition round!
Likewise, going forward, he will use this flag that reads “Starfire Foster Care Shop, providing the best care for your pet beasts!”, to instruct Ziyun in battle!
After all the preparatory work, Xu Ran had undoubtedly become the most dazzling contestant even before the battle began, attracting many eyes from the spectator stands.
Sitting beside Xu Ran on the winner’s seat, Gu Ling showed a touch of helplessness at the corner of her mouth, and she couldn’t help but move her seat slightly away from Xu Ran.
Her eyes, filled with a few probing looks, wandered around the spectator seats.
The Old Gu had promised that he would come to watch my finals, won’t he fail to show up?
Very soon, Gu Ling’s eyes lit up.
Despite the crowd in the spectator seats, she easily identified that familiar figure.
Looking at Gu Wu gazing in her direction, Gu Ling waved her hand with a smile, then turned to the Dark Scale Dragon behind her, “We are going to win this battle!”
“Roar!”
The Dark Scale Dragon nodded with conviction.
It remembered the special training the Red-eyed Demon Dragon gave yesterday, saying that if it loses today the Demon Dragon would take off its skin, it couldn’t help but shudder with fear.
This time, it must win!
As the host ended his introduction, the finals officially began.
First on the stage were Xu Jiujiu and Lyu Guang, seated in the loser’s group.
They both stood up simultaneously and walked towards the player’s path leading to the fighting platform.
“Who do you think will win between us?” In the quiet passage, Xu Jiujiu suddenly spoke.
“Of course, it’s me.” Lyu Guang glanced sideways at Xu Jiujiu.
The wounds of the Brawl Bear Apprentice had thoroughly healed after the best treatment, and due to the one-sided suppression by the Dark Scale Dragon in the previous fight, some potential was triggered and its strength has improved slightly.
That’s why for this battle, Lyu Guang is still confident.
“No, it’s me.” Xu Jiujiu’s lips slightly raised up, revealing a charming and somewhat wild smile, “After all, rounding off to the nearest whole number, I have already thrashed you once.”
Lyu Guang:”???”
What does she mean by rounding off?
What is this woman talking nonsense again?
The battle quickly began, albeit a loser’s group match, Xu Jiujiu and Lyu Guang were both famous among Qingzhou City’s young generation of Beast Masters, drawing a lot of attention. During the entire battle process, there was enthusiastic applause and cheering from the spectators.
And indeed, their fight was intense. After some fierce fighting, in the end, Lyu Guang won with a slight advantage.
Xu Jiujiu walked calmly in front of Lyu Guang, “Well, now that we each have a win, it’s a draw.”
Lyu Guang:”???”
So, when did you secretly win against me?
