Unserious Beast Tamer

In his contemplations, Xu Ran stopped in front of his shop.

Looking at the gradually dimming sky, he hugged Ziyun and went into the shop, "Let's have dinner together, let's call it a day."

"Meow?" (Aren't we going to train hard?)

Ziyun looked up blankly, his eyes filled with incomprehension.

Didn't we agree to train hard and become stronger together?

"Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow." Xu Ran put Ziyun on the counter and stretched his back, "Let's rest early tonight."

Ziyun initially wanted to say something, but fell silent when Xu Ran took out the cat canned food.

Well...we can talk about training hard tomorrow.

"Roar~"

The moment Xu opened the cat canned food, Ziyun expertly stuck his head out and swallowed a large mouthful of meat.

But then, his expression suddenly turned a little odd.

Why doesn't the cat canned food taste as delicious as it did at midday?

"Doesn't taste as good as at midday?" Seeing Ziyun's human-like expression, Xu Ran understood, "That's normal."

"On the one hand, you were very hungry at midday, everything tastes better when you're hungry. Now you're not as hungry, so it's natural."

Ziyun nodded approvingly, thinking that the Beast Master's analysis made perfect sense.

"But that's not the most important reason." Xu Ran's voice paused slightly, "The most important reason is, you are no longer a cat, but a cat-based Transcendent Being."

"As a Transcendent Being, you can exert powerful strength, and naturally, you need to consume more energy." Xu Ran ruffled Ziyun's head, "So the common cat canned food can no longer sate your appetite."

"We'll make do for today, but tomorrow, I'll take you to buy some food suitable for pet beasts, as well as other things that pet beasts need."

"Meow~" (Okay!)

Ziyun nodded his head and took another bite of the cat canned food.

Even though it doesn't taste as good as before, everything is delicious when eaten with Xu Ran!

Seeing that Ziyun began eating, Xu Ran walked quickly to the small kitchen in the backyard. He quickly fried two small dishes and paired them with cooked rice for his dinner.

Perhaps it was due to becoming a Beast Master and having Ziyun's reciprocating physique that made him stronger, Xu Ran's appetite increased significantly. Previously, he would be full after two bowls of rice, but tonight, after eating four bowls, he still hadn't had enough.

"Meow~" (I want to try some too!)

Ziyun, who had finished the cat canned food, turned his head and saw Xu Ran savoring his food, he also took the initiative to join in. He jumped lightly onto the table, docilely squatting there, eyeing the dishes on the table.

"You can't..." Xu Ran originally wanted to say that some of the ingredients in these dishes are not suitable for cats, like the green onions in his twice-cooked pork. But upon reconsideration, Ziyun was already a Transcendent Being, so it didn't seem to matter, "then, try this one!"

He picked up a piece of evenly fat and lean pork belly and handed it over to Ziyun.

Ziyun bit into it, using his sharp canine teeth to tear it apart, then swallowed it in two or three bites, savouring it for a while before displaying a satisfied expression.

Even though it was a bit salty for him, eating the same food as the Beast Master made him very happy!

Seeing that Ziyun was willing to taste his cooking, Xu Ran was in high spirits. He served Ziyun scrambled eggs with leek to try, and finally fed him some rice.

Before long, both of them finished all the food that Xu Ran had cooked. After washing the dishes, Xu Ran carried Ziyun up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor of the shop is the living area, the system did not remodel it, it retained its original living atmosphere.

Walking into his room with familiarity, Xu Ran sat down on the bed and looked at the bookshelf beside it.

The bookshelf was densely packed with many books relating to Beast Masters, these were bought by the original person, but most of them were new, and it was clear that they hadn't been read much after being bought.

After a search, Xu Ran pulled out a book titled "Basics of Beast Control" and opened the first page.

Although he had been longing to become a Beast Master since he had crossed over, securing his first Pet Beast this quickly was obviously far beyond his plans.

He needed to catch up on some knowledge about beast handling.

Though the system provided basic information on caring for and cleaning pet beasts, which included some knowledge about Transcendent Beings, the content was limited. To systematically understand the fundamentals of beast handling he still needed to read.

"So the top ten attributes are: water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, darkness, super ability, and fighting," Xu Ran muttered to himself, "The growth stages of Pet Beast from low to high are Transcendent Stage, Elite Stage, and Leadership Stage..."

Thoughts that were originally hazy in Xu Ran's mind were gradually becoming clearer. The doors to the world of Beast Masters were slowly opening before his eyes, and various magical legends fascinated him.

Ziyun lightly leapt onto the head of the bed, stared at Xu Ran immersed in his books, then silently sneaked into the quilt covering Xu Ran's lower half and laid down comfortably, looking quite satisfied.

It wasn't until late into the night that the lights on the second floor of Starfire Foster Shop were turned off.

-----------------

"We'll continue with the shop in the morning, and at midday I'll take you out for shopping."

Early the next morning, Xu Ran opened the shop door, gently rubbed Ziyun who was resting on the counter, and sat behind the counter to continue reading a book.

After researching all night, Xu Ran not only had an understanding of some common sense in the Beast Master world, but also knew what he, as a novice Beast Master, needed to buy.

It was quite a fruitful night.

If a customer could visit in the morning, allowing his Pleasure Value to reach one thousand, that would be even better.

Not long after Xu Ran had this thought, a familiar figure walked hurriedly into the shop, "Young boss!"

"Mr. Liu?" Xu Ran glanced at the proud Wind Lion Dog following the man, immediately recognizing him, "What's up?"

"It's a long story." Liu Gu shook his head, "Anyway, I need you to clean and care for my Pet Beast."

Xu Ran furrowed his brows, looking at the Wind Lion Dog behind him which seemed no different from the one he had groomed the day before, and opened the System Identification function.

Race name: Wind Lion Dog

Property: Wind-based

Growth Step: Elite Stage

Body Type: Medium

Maintenance Need: ☆☆☆☆☆

Review: Oh my god! We cannot please this lost big dog today!]

Ignoring the frivolous commentary from the System, Xu Ran looked seriously at Liu Gu, "Your Pet Beast was cared for yesterday, it doesn't need to be cleaned and groomed again in the meantime."

"I know, I'm not talking about the Wind Lion Dog." Liu Gu shook his head, "I'm talking about this one."

The stars of David interlaced rapidly behind Liu Gu, hatching a small figure out of the air amidst the sudden whirlwind, inside the shop.

It was a Pet Beast with a pale blue and semi-transparent body. Its shape was similar to a flower bud, but also resembled a dazzling wave.

The identification function automatically started.

Race name: Sea Wave Flower

Property: Water-based

Growth Step: Transcendent Stage

Body Type: Small size

Maintenance Need: ★★★☆☆

Review: Under the glossy appearance, it hides a deep desire for cleaning and care. It urgently needs the pleasure brought about by the magical hands of its host.]
