“Want some Coca Cola?”

A familiar voice sounded in Duan Anxun’s ear. Duan Anxun, who was resting her head on the table with her sleeves already soaked with tears, shivered slightly.

“Did you come here to mock me?” She didn’t lift her head and said in muffled voice.

“There is nothing funny about this.” Su Xiaoxiao set a bottle of Coca Cola on her table, regardless of whether she would drink it or not, and then sat down in front of her, she herself taking a sip of her own drink, “Where’s Du Ting?” Duan Anxun fell silent.

After the practical training class, all her classmates looked at her differently. Even Du Ting, who was always friendly to her, made an excuse to hang out with other girls. She saw the rejection in their eyes, but she pretended not to notice.

The teacher’s reprimand, the estrangement from her best friend, the silence of her Pet Beast’s apology, and the strange looks from everyone around her, she hid her tear-streaked face in her sleeves, trying to pretend that none of this was happening.

But Su Xiaoxiao’s casual questioning tore open her festering wounds afresh.

“You are really annoying,” Duan Anxun uttered in a muffled voice.

“Likewise,” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t get angry at her words, she glanced at Duan Anxun who still refused to raise her head, then looked out of the window, “do you remember our first fight during freshman year?”

“I remember,” Duan Anxun paused for a moment, “Lin Yue’s Green Wind Eagle dirtied my new skirt, I scolded her, and you defended her.”

“So, you still remember…” Su Xiaoxiao’s face showed a trace of reminiscence.

Because of that fight, she and Lin Yue became best friends in the class. That fight also became the reason the conflict between her and Duan Anxun never resolved.

“I don’t understand, was I wrong to scold her?” Duan Anxun murmured, perhaps she was feeling too lousy and wanted someone to vent to. She seemed to sound a bit discontented, “You didn’t even know her at that time!”

“A Yue dirtied your skirt, it’s understandable that you yelled at her a bit,” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, not looking at Duan Anxun who had slowly lifted her face in surprise.

She turned to see Lin Yue making faces at her from somewhere else, and she gave a wry smile, “The reason why I defended her was because you referred to her pet as a ‘such a beast’.”

“When people are angry they might speak harshly,” Su Xiaoxiao turned back and looked at Duan Anxun seriously, “but you shouldn’t have referred to a Pet Beast like that. They are our partners.”

“Just like how you shouldn’t have let the Colorful Cloud Parrot suffer unbearable pain for the sake of a few marks today. It is more important than the scores.”

With a sob, she burst into tears, her voice choked up with emotion.

“I didn’t want to…but I couldn’t… I couldn’t get first place, my mom…”

Listening to Duan Anxun’s fragmented sentences, Su Xiaoxiao’s expression changed from surprise to sympathy.

This was something that Duan Anxun had never revealed to anyone before, something that Su Xiaoxiao was unaware of.

Having open-minded parents, she never imagined that someone else’s parents could be like this.

“You…”

Looking at the completely broken down Duan Anxun, and seeing Lin Yue from a distance raise a thumbs-up towards her as if saying “That’s pretty amazing, you made Duan Anxun cry”, Su Xiaoxiao was lost for words and rummaged for a tissue to hand to Duan Anxun.

“Stop crying, wipe your tears…”

Looking at Duan Anxun, who was both crying and blowing her nose, Su Xiaoxiao looked helplessly heavenward.

What kind of situation was this?!

“Don’t rush, don’t rush!”

Looking at the Armored Rhinoceros, who was eating as one might expect a pig to feed, Xu Ran also looked helplessly towards the heavens.

Who could believe that this grand and powerful elite level pet beast, which looked like a moving armored vehicle, was urging him first thing in the morning to prepare food, as if it hadn’t eaten for three days?

Just yesterday afternoon, he had fed it on time and in the right amount! But seeing the constant notifications of increased pleasure value popping up, Xu Ran started to see this Armored Rhinoceros, hell-bent on stuffing its face… uh, no… this pig, in a new light.

Ziyun was hiding behind Xu Ran, warily watching the big guy eating in such a terrifying manner. It thought of how it had been eating just a while ago, and even though it may not have been the most elegant, it was much better compared to the big guy in front of its eyes.

Soon, the Armored Rhinoceros had finished eating.

Xu Ran took away the food bowl, which was as clean as if it had been scrubbed, “I’m going first.”

The Armored Rhinoceros, looking lazily at Xu Ran’s departing figure, lay leisurely on the ground, casually rolling around.

Returning to the first floor, Ziyun, who had been following closely behind Xu Ran, couldn’t wait any longer, and pulled at his trouser leg with its teeth. “Meow-” (Beast Master, add points!)

“Okay.” Xu Ran chuckled, and readily added the 8 Physical Points he had just acquired to Ziyun’s growth progress.

Ziyun had also increased its progress by 1 point after eating just now, so now its growth progress had become (183/500).

In the afternoon, he could feed the Armored Rhinoceros once more, and then some new Physical Points would be credited. With this speed, it wouldn’t be long before Ziyun’s growth progress would be maxed out.

However, this put pressure on himself.

After the growth progress is maxed out, he would still need the power of his own contract to reach the second stage, otherwise, the Beast Taming Contract would inhibit Ziyun’s breakthrough.

Xu Ran had read many novels in his previous life, and knew that in novels, characters training would meet with a so-called bottleneck…

So now he was the bottleneck?!

“From now on, no slacking!” Xu Ran took a deep breath, a determined look on his face, “There’s not much business at the moment anyway, if there’s nothing to do, I’ll just seize the time to do my meditation training!”

“Meow-” (Keep it up!)

Seeing the Beast Master’s high spirits, Ziyun felt genuinely proud.

“You stay here to watch the store, if there is a customer, wake me up.” After instructing, Xu Ran crossed his legs and closed his eyes to start meditating. Five minutes later, Xu Ran opened his eyes, stood up from the rest area, and took a bottle of Coca Cola from the fridge, “Time for a drink.”

Ten minutes later, Xu Ran opened his eyes, took a bag of chips from the snack rack in the rest area, “Time to eat something.”

Twenty minutes later…

Ziyun watched Xu Ran as he interrupted his meditation time and again. Initially, it was

( dcod )

But then, it changed to

And finally it became

(=w=)

Feeling like he might have been a bit excessive, Xu Ran’s face reddened.

For him, who was informed from the explosion of information in his previous life, it was really hard to meditate and clear his mind!

“Excuse me, do you offer foster care services here?”

Just as the atmosphere in the store was getting slightly awkward, a voice came from outside the door.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Xu Ran stood up as if pardoned.

A thin young man walked in from outside, scanning the interior of the shop before quickly noticing the price menu on the wall.

“2666 Yuan a day…” he muttered to himself, then looked at Xu Ran, “You get what you pay for, you guys will give my Pet Beast the best care, right?” “Of course, without a doubt.” Xu Ran replied without hesitation.

“Alright, you stay here then.” The thin young man quickly paid for one month’s fostering fee with a scan, then turned to leave.

Xu Ran:”???”

What just happened?
