BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 - 78: Selecting Beast Eggll
“Ziyun, you did a great job!”
Holding the visibly wilting Ziyun, Xu Ran took a glimpse at its injured claw and let out a sigh of relief.
In the final clash, Ziyun’s injury was not severe. It only appeared tragically injured due to additional damage inflicted by the backlash of Blood Fury.
Although Ziyun’s breath was weak, its eyes were shining brightly.
It was extremely encouraged by defeating its long sought rival, the Dark Scale Dragon.
“Meow!” (I won!)
It seemed to snap back to reality and let out a loud exclamation.
“Yes, we won.” Xu Ran smiled.
The referee announced the final result amidst the deafening cheers and applause.
“Xu Ran, wins!”
“Congratulations to Xu Ran for becoming the champion of this New Beast Master Challenge Match!” The host appeared on stage the next moment, quickly approaching Xu Ran with the microphone in hand, “Do you have anything to say to everyone? Except for advertisements.”
The host’s quip prompted laughter from the audience.
Xu Ran casually opened the system task and took a glance.
[ Novice Task 5: Bit of Fame
Task description: Please assist the host to reach 50% local fame for the Foster Shop (48.7/50)
Task reward: Training Function Module, +400 System Upgrade Experience ]
Before the match, he remembered the fame standing at 433%. Just this one match boosted the fame by 5.4%.
Xu Ran took the microphone with a smile.
What would the champion of this New Beast Master Challenge Match say?
The audience quieted down instantly, all eyes on him expectantly.
“Everyone’s skills are very strong. Winning every match wasn’t easy.” Xu Ran paused, “If my Pet Beast and I hadn’t maintained our best condition to face the competition, the outcome would still be unknown.”
Did Xu Ran really stop advertising?
Murmurs started up among the audience, with disappointment showing on many faces.
However, the next moment, Xu Ran’s tone changed.
“Do you want to maintain a good condition like my Pet Beast?” He smiled slightly, “Then come to Starfire Foster Shop, we have … beep??? ”
Before he could finish, a sharp sound came through the microphone.
Was the microphone broken? Xu Ran shook it curiously. The host next to him, with a slight smile, subtly pulled the microphone out of his hand, “Okay, thank you for Xu Ran’s wonderful speech!”
In the audience, those who had previously shown disappointment became excited, appreciating the “great comeback”.
It took Xu Ran a moment to realize that the event organizers had deliberately prevented him from continuing the advertisement, the microphone wasn’t malfunctioning.
What a nasty trick!
He grumbled silently, looking at the almost unchanged fame and feeling helpless.
It seemed the effect of advertising had diminished for the short term.
He decided to leave the small amount of fame to grow slowly on its own.
“The champion’s reward is quite substantial.”
As he left the competition venue holding Ziyun who had already returned to normal, Xu Ran played cheerfully with the three cards in his hand.
These three cards constituted the champion’s reward.
They seemed simple, but their value was far from it.
One of them was a bank card with one million in cash, which was the lowest value among the three cards.
The second card was a Beast Master Association points card, with a thousand Beast Master Points inside, which could be exchanged for various supernatural resources.
Beast Master Points, a special form of points recognized by Beast Master Associations in different cities, could be exchanged for Pet Beasts, resources, and other items.
If converted into money, one point is approximately equal to a thousand dollars. However, very few people are willing to exchange points for money, so they are particularly cherished.
Xu Ran had no immediate plans to use this card as, for the time being, he didn’t need to buy additional resources.
The daily Washing and Protection and resources required for fostering were all provided by the system, which automatically deducted costs from the profits gained. Xu Ran couldn’t be bothered to fret about their origin, as long as the system was competent enough.
So the only realistic need he had for resources was possibly for future cultivation procedures of his own Pet Beasts, such as evolution, which reportedly required massive amounts of specific resources.
At the moment, Ziyun was not yet ready for evolution so he decided to keep the card for future use.
As for the last card…
It was a Beast Egg Withdrawal Card. With this card, one could select an egg from the Rare Beast Egg Repository of the Beast Master Association.
Those referred to as rare beast eggs certainly wouldn’t be common breeds.
It alone attracted many Beast Masters to sign up for the competition.
Although Xu Ran still had an Awakening Stone which he hadn’t used yet, this Beast Egg Withdrawal Card also held considerable value to him.
“If it’s not too late, why don’t we skip the shop and head straight to the Beast Master Association to choose a beast egg?” He pocketed the three cards and laughed.
“Meow-”
Ziyun nodded, indicating its tacit approval.
Once hatched, the beast egg would be its new companion, right? Ziyun wondered if the new companion would be easy to get along with.
“Don’t worry, even after it hatches, we will only consider a beast for contracting if it can get along well with everyone else,” Xu Ran gently reassured, seemingly guessing Ziyun’s thoughts.
“Meow-”
Ziyun immediately brightened up, rubbing its head against Xu Ran’s palm while squinting.
They chatted casually along the way and soon arrived at the Beast Master Association.
Before they could enter, Beast Masters coming in and out of the Association’s entrance were already giving him respectful nods..
