“Escort mission?”

After hearing Xu Ran’s request, Zhang Yun frowned slightly, “Young Boss, while our Tiger Hunting Squad can indeed act as mercenaries to make money, the outskirts of Qingzhou City are not safe.”

“You want us, the Tiger Hunting Squad, to escort you to a designated area outside Qingzhou City and assist you in gathering some resources. Why not let us go and gather them for you directly?”

In Zhang Yun’s view, the latter was obviously safer. For the Tiger Hunting Squad, if they didn’t have to worry about Xu Ran, their actions would be more convenient.

Xu Ran’s mouth twitched slightly, “No, I must go myself.”

Do you think I don’t want to stay comfortably in the shop and wait for the Green Jade Fruits to be delivered? This is all because of the darn system mission!

From the moment he saw Novice Task 3, Xu Ran thought of getting a strong person to escort him.

After all, the outskirts of Qingzhou City are far from peaceful. Going out of town alone with Ziyun would be too dangerous.

In contrast, being accompanied by the Tiger Hunting Squad, whose Pet Beasts are mostly at the Elite Stage, and who have much experience surviving outside the city, would be much safer.

Zhang Yun fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at the three others.

“What do you guys think?”

“I think we can accept the task.” Liu Gu scratched his head, “The area mentioned by the Young Boss is not a Transcendent Creature Collection Area, and we won’t have to pass through such an area during the journey. It is relatively safe.”

Xu Ran’s washing and protection services had helped him a lot. Wherever he could, he naturally hoped to lend Xu Ran a hand.

‘It won’t take that much time to make a round trip. Call Du Heng over and it will be quicker with the Armored Rhinoceros around.” Liu Xue cheerfully said, “As long as the Young Boss can afford it, it won’t hurt to go.”

“I don’t have any particular opinion.” Yan Fan shrugged.

Then…” Zhang Yun looked at Xu Ran, considered for a moment, and then began to speak, “Young Boss, our Hunting Squad’s charges aren’t cheap. Considering that there aren’t many dangers on the road, how does a friendly price of 100,000 sound?”

“Okay.” Xu Ran slightly pondered over it, and soon nodded in agreement. Although 100,000 wasn’t cheap, it was worth it considering that so many elite-level pet beasts would be escorting him.

After all, the money he made from washing the Hunting Squad’s pet beasts was already well over this amount…

“In that case, when do we set off?” Zhang Yun asked.

“It’s somewhat rushed to leave today. Let’s go early tomorrow.” Xu Ran thought it over and decided to expedite things, to complete the task as soon as possible.

“Ok.”

After agreeing to meet at the city gate the next day, Zhang Yun got up, ready to say goodbye, leading the other three.

‘Wait a moment, Uncle Liu!”

When the four were about to walk out of the shop, Xu Ran hurriedly rushed forward, seemingly having thought of something, and put his hand on Liu Gu’s shoulder.

“What’s up?” Liu Gu was confused.

“Nothing, see you tomorrow.” Xu Ran released his hand, showing a warm smile.

Liu Gu scratched his head and hurried to catch up with his team.

Watching the four walking away, Xu Ran’s smile grew brighter.

Just now, he remembered that his Pleasure Value was enough for one Ten Consecutive Drawing.

So, while Liu-Lucky Fish-Gu hadn’t left yet, he quickly drew.

The result was quite a pleasant surprise.

He didn’t have time to look carefully, but he saw blue, and more than one!

“Meow-” (Got a new skill?)

Ziyun jumped into his arms, looking up at Xu Ran with hopeful eyes.

After washing so many pet beasts, there should be new skills to teach her, right?

“There is one.”

Xu Ran smiled as he closed the shop door, then opened up the panel.

[Host: Xu Ran

Contract Power: First Stage

Contracted Pet Beast: Ziyun [View Details]

System Skills:

[Plucking Fur (C-level)](i/ioo)

[Drug Application (D-level)](o/ioo)

Pet Beast Skills:

[★Blood Fury](Teachable)

[★★Ice Storm](Non-teachable)

Physical points: o

Pleasure value: 243

System Upgrade Experience: 150/1000]

Looking at the system skills, Xu Ran’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise.

What’s the situation? The progress bar limits for D-level Drug Application and C-level Plucking Fur are both 100?

Isn’t it only necessary to do Plucking Fur ten times to upgrade from D-level to C-level?

Is it more difficult to upgrade the Drug Application skill?

Or is the calculation method of Drug Application progress different from Plucking Fur?

After turning on the fosterage function, I have to find out myself about the new skills.

Temporarily suppressing his doubts, Xu Ran chose the teachable [Blood Fury] skill and directly taught it to Ziyun.

This skill was from Yan Fan’s Three-armed Demon Ape, which greatly enhances combat power after use, but will lose sanity to a certain extent, and will be weak for a while after the performance ends.

Considering that Ziyun doesn’t have a similar skill, it’s still worth learning.

Feeling a surge of knowledge pouring into her mind, Ziyun’s face immediately showed a surprised expression as she grasped a whole new skill.

It’s that familiar feeling again!

The feeling of getting smarter!

“This skill has a bit of a side effect, don’t rush to try it, we’ll try it in the Training Room later,” Xu Ran reminded, then began to check the results of the ten consecutive draws.

He was quite excited about the first ten consecutive draws.

[White, a bag of very tasty cat snacks]

How tasty? Let Ziyun try it later.

[White, a quality cat teaser]

I already have one, bad review.

[Green, Energy Abundant Potion]

This is good, I’ll take Ziyun to train in a bit.

[Blue, Good Luck Charm]

Hmm?

Xu Ran touched the Good Luck Charm, and relevant introductions flooded into his mind.

[The Good Luck Charm is a special item produced by the system, and the holder can have one good luck.]

Since it’s something of the same level as the Awakening Stone, it should really work.

I can bring it with me when I go out of the city tomorrow, right on time.

[Green, Energy Abundant Potion]

The second one, counting the remaining ones, there are three bottles.

[White, a warm and sturdy cat bed]

Which cat would sleep in a cat bed? Useless! Bad review!

[Blue, Awakening Stone]

This is good.

Xu Ran nodded in satisfaction, perhaps the future second pet beast could use it.

[White, a beautiful cat food bowl]

This seems to be useful, so I won’t complain anymore.

Xu Ran’s gaze then moved downward, the last two draws of the ten consecutive draws, all blue.

[Blue, Skill Fusion Stone]

[Blue, Skill Fusion Stone]

Looking at the round-shaped, beautiful stone, Xu Ran quickly reached out to touch it.

[The Skill Fusion Stone is a special item produced by the system, which can fuse two or more skills into a stronger skill]

[Note 1: Fusion is probabilistic, after success the original skill disappears, the proficiency of the new skill inherits from the highest one among the original skills, no side effects if failed.]

[Note 2: The fewer skills used for fusion, the lower the skill star level, the better the skills match, the higher the success rate of fusion.]

[Note 3: If skill fusion fails, the success rate of the same skill fusion will increase to a certain extent next time.]
