“Whoooosh ”

Accompanied by the sound of a hairdryer, the newly groomed Wind God’s Colt was energetic, its short and soft fur fitting snugly onto its body, outlining muscular definition and giving off a sheen under the lights as if it were coated in oil.

Every time it took a step, the areas catching the light would shift due to the contraction and relaxation of muscles, giving viewers a sense of mesmerizing power.

“This… this…”

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his eyes full of surprise.

He admits that the grooming service offered by this shop amazed him.

Though the process was a bit peculiar, the end result far exceeded his expectations!

This is indeed how a champion racehorse should look like!

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was certain that his Chasing Wind would secure the championship at tomorrow’s horse racing.

“Are you satisfied with the grooming?” Xu Ran asked with a slight smile.

“Very satisfied! Extremely satisfied!” The middle-aged man snapped back to reality and nodded his head in swift agreement. He immediately scanned the QR code to make the payment.

Then, he looked at Xu Ran intensely.

If he was initially attracted to the shop because Xu Ran was a champion and he wanted a good omen, now he values the shop for the boss’s extraordinary grooming skills.

“Young boss, my name is Xu Kun. I am the owner of Chaoyang Equestrian and Beast Breeding Base.” Eager to make Xu Ran’s acquaintance, the middle-aged man passed him his business card, “If you ever want to contract a horse-type pet beast, you can look for me.”

“Sure.” Xu Ran kept the business card.

Never mind pet beasts, being the owner of a breeding base, he must have many pets that need grooming, right?

This was a big client.

“If you, boss, are interested in tomorrow’s horse racing, you could come to the racecourse in West City to watch. I could secure the best seats for you.” Xu Kun added with a smile.

“Uncle Xu, thank you for your invitation, but I…” Just as Xu Ran was about to decline on the grounds of needing to open the shop tomorrow, his voice trailed off.

A line of text suddenly appeared before him.

[Novice Task 5 Completed]

It’s completed?

Yes, by the end of the final race, the shop’s popularity was shy of the target by just a bit. Now, half a day since the end of the finals and with continuous fermentation of popularity, achieving the target was only natural.

Realizing the completion of Novice Task 5 held significant meaning, Xu Ran couldn’t be bothered by Xu Kun’s presence and immediately opened his personal panel.

[Shop upgrades in progress. Remaining time: 02:59:59]

Another three-hour renovation, it seems like I could check out the training module tonight…

[System upgrade in progress. All System Skills are disabled. Except for daily feeding of fostered pet beasts, all shop functions are disabled. Remaining time: 23:59:59]

Xu Ran:”…”

It seems like I won’t be able to check out the training module tonight.

System upgrade also has a cooldown time, and it’s even longer. It’s both unexpected and unsurprising.

Considering the powerful functions that the upgraded system might have, he was filled with immense anticipation.

He only needs one day, then he can…

“Boss Xu? Is everything alright?”

Xu Kun’s somewhat confused voice brought Xu Ran back to reality.

“Nothing.” Xu Ran said with a smile and shook his head. Suddenly, he remembered something, “You just mentioned a horse race tomorrow?”

“Yes, you want to come?”

“Then I will trouble Uncle Xu to secure a good position for me.” Xu Ran nodded.

The system upgrade needed 24 hours, he had time to spare. It could be a time of relaxation.

And rightly so, after such a hectic period spent entertaining customers and preparing for the competition together with Ziyun, they both needed some rest.

“No worries! You made Chasing Wind look so fantastic after grooming, it’s your contribution too if it wins the championship tomorrow!” Xu Kun patted on Chasing Wind and chuckled.

The two men had a quick chat and agreed to meet at the racecourse tomorrow. After that, Xu Kun led his horse Chasing Wind and departed.

Watching Xu Kun’s departing figure, Xu Ran reached over to pet Ziyun who moved closer to him, “Two pieces of good news.”

“Meow?” (What good news?)

Ziyun tilted its head to look at Xu Ran.

“First, we can take a day off tomorrow. It will be a holiday for us.” Xu Ran smiled. “As you just heard, we are going to watch a horse race tomorrow.”

“Meow!”

Ziyun rubbed its face against Xu Ran’s hand, looking somewhat hopeful.

After defeating the Dark Scale Dragon, its desire to become stronger dwindled somewhat. It reverted back to the lazy appearance of having nothing to do. It had been quite a while since it went out with its Beast Master, and it seemed so fun!

“As for the second good news…” Xu Ran laughed, “You have advanced to the Elite Stage, and we can allocate more points.”

He almost forgot about this after defeating the Dark Scale Dragon and meeting with Gu Wu. It was only when he opened his personal panel and saw over five hundred available physical points, did he remember..
