Unserious Beast Tamer

Chapter 37: Panic-Stricken Ziyun l

“Alright, let’s get back to watching the shop.”

Xu Ran sat behind the counter, resting his chin in his hand as he watched the passersby outside the shop.

He had a doubt about the application of medicine; after using the skill, his skill experience did not increase.

Could it be that he needs to use the drug application multiple times before seeing an increment in the skill experience?

He had only used the skill once, and Xu Ran hadn’t thoroughly grasped the rules yet. He planned to use it once on every feeding; he should figure it out soon.

[Pleasure value from Armored Rhinoceros +1]

Huh?

Seeing the sudden system notification, Xu Ran straightens up in his chair quickly.

What’s going on?

Feeding had already finished, could the Armored Rhinoceros still provide pleasure value?

“I’m going to go take a look, you watch the shop for a bit.” After giving Ziyun’s head a pat and giving this instruction, without a word, Xu Ran ran straight for the back door.

Soon, Xu Ran stopped in the basement.

He watched from afar as the Armored Rhinoceros happily rolled about in the mud pond. Seeing another Pleasure Value reminder pop up, his face lit up with realization.

So that’s how it worked.

Not only did feeding provide pleasure value during fosterage, a comfortable environment could also bring the Pet Beast pleasure, providing him with pleasure value.

Compared to feeding, this pleasure value increase was slower and not as much.

But what was valuable was that this pleasure value could provide a steady stream of income all day!

A slow and steady approach!

If in the future the number of Pet Beasts fostered increases, this pleasure value will also be considerable!

Having cleared up his doubts, Xu Ran didn’t disturb the Armored Rhinoceros and returned to the shop on the first floor.

Receiving the occasional pleasure value notifications had made him excited at first, but soon it started to bother him.

It’s kind of getting in the way of things, could he still sleep with these notifications popping up all night?

Just as he thought this, a line of text appeared before him.

[Would you like to disable notifications for pleasure value gains from the foster environment?]

[Yes][No]

Pretty considerate, huh?

Xu Ran clicked on [Yes], and the world went quiet again.

“Meow-”

Ziyun by his side seemed to have grown tired of lying down. It straightened its forelegs, sticking its tail and bottom high up, arching its back in a stretch before getting up from the counter, strolling leisurely.

Should it go greet the foster members in the shop?

Being fed by the Beast Master had made it stronger, it had to treat these foster members well and make them feel at home.

Having made up its mind, Ziyun hopped off the counter, making its way towards the back door.

It jumped up to grab the door handle, pushing the door open.

As it walked out proudly, it even used its fluffy tail to close the door behind it.

Ziyun wanted to play with the Armored Rhinoceros?

Noticing the little creature’s actions, Xu Ran smiled slightly.

It appeared there was another benefit to accommodating fostered pet beasts.

Even if Ziyun was the only pet, it wouldn’t be too lonely. It could find a playmate…

Watching Ziyun return in shocked panic, Xu Ran’s smile faltered slightly.

What happened?

Ziyun flew straight into Xu Ran’s arms, its eyes still filled with post-fear.

It was too scary!

That big creature was actually…

It was actually playing in the mud!!

Not only that, he even invited me to join in on the fun!

Thinking of how dirty he would be after rolling around in the mud, Ziyun couldn’t help but shudder.

Letting the foster members feel the warmth of home should still be left to the Beast Masters!

The half day of business passed quickly as they gathered Green Jade Fruit outside the city in the morning, experienced three hours of system modification, and the afternoon’s operations in their still newly opened shop came to an end.

Since they fed the Armored Rhinoceros in the afternoon, they would have to provide its second meal the next morning.

Xu Ran greeted the tired creatures on the underground floor, then went upstairs carrying Ziyun to the living quarters.

As Xu Ran continued to flip through reference books while sitting on the bed, a system notification suddenly flashed in front of him.

[Drug Application Skill Experience Points +1]

Huh?

Why are they adding experience points out of the blue?

He closed the book he was holding and was about to get off the bed to see if the Armored Rhinoceros downstairs had done something when he abruptly paused.

Xu Ran thought of another possibility.

He picked up his cellphone to check the time.

It was just past midnight.

So, the experience points for the Drug Application Skill are calculated daily?!

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow, but then thought this made sense.

Different Pet Beasts have different dietary habits. Some Pet Beasts only eat once a day, while others eat smaller meals more frequently, up to dozens of times in a day.

If the experience points were calculated based on feeding times, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

Calculating on a daily basis seemed more suitable.

However, Xu Ran quickly considered another interesting problem.

Some Pet Beasts had even more peculiar eating habits, eating only once every ten days or even half a month. How then would the Drug Application Skill experience be calculated?

When he encountered such a Pet Beast in the future, he had to try it.

Fatigue washed over him. The questions in his mind had been answered, so Xu Ran put the book on the bedside table, looked at Ziyun who had already burrowed under the covers and was sound asleep, and let out a quiet chuckle.

Turn off the lights, sleep time.

Nothing happened overnight.

Monday marked the beginning of a new week.

To the residents of Qingzhou City, this meant that after two days of rest, they had to return to their workplaces.

For students still in school, this marked the end of their two-day weekend holiday, and they had to return to their rigorous studies, rising earlier than roosters.

On the campus of Qingzhou’s Second Beast Mastery High School, students were lining up in square formations by class, conducting the routine, weekly physical exercises.

Unlike typical high schools, not only were the underage Beast Masters taking part in the exercises, but so were their Pet Beasts.

In Freshman Year (6) class’s square formation, Lin Yue quietly pulled on Su Xiaoxiao’s sleeve and whispered, “Xiaoxiao, look at An Xun’s Colorful Cloud Parrot!”

“That’s not right!”

Upon hearing Lin Yue’s words, Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the direction in which An Xun stood. When her gaze landed on the Colorful Cloud Parrot perched on An Xun’s shoulder, she was taken aback, “This…”

“Why do I feel like this is Boss Xu Ran’s Washing and Protection?” Lin Yue queried, yet her expression showed certainty, “This annoying guy actually went to the Starfire Foster Care Shop for washing and protection!”

“Where she chooses to pay for washing and protection is her freedom.” Su Xiaoxiao patted Lin Yue’s shoulder, “No need to concern yourself with these matters.”

“Right.” Lin Yue nodded, then glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, “After the exercises, we have the Great Devil’s class, are you ready?”

“Ready!” Su Xiaoxiao was confident, and couldn’t help but stroke the Flame Fox lazily curled up in her arms.

The Great Devil was the nickname of their teacher, Tan Qingsheng, who taught the Beast Mastery practical training class.

Teacher Tan was very strict, and would scold students for the slightest of mistakes, thus earning this nickname.

The Flame Fox hadn’t been very cooperative with Su Xiaoxiao’s commands, which had led to her already being scolded many times by the Great Devil.

But this time it would be different!
