This task is clearly faster than earning business points. Zhou Ran's eyes lit up as he said, 'System, are there any other tasks?'
'Tasks are issued based on the host's current situation. There are currently no other tasks available,' the system replied.
Zhou Ran shook his head in disappointment and summoned the shop in his mind.
Supreme Spirit Beast Contract: 100 points, Low-Grade Beast Lock: 50 points, Intermediate Beast Lock: 500 points, Rage: 500 points, Low-Grade Spirit Gathering Pill: 1,000 points.
Zhou Ran carefully read the description of each item, contemplating what to exchange his 310 points for...
'Wow, this Low-Grade Beast-Trapping Lock can capture beasts of fifth-tier or below. Not bad. I'll buy one first.'
'Hmm... why isn't there a description for the Supreme Spirit Beast Contract?' Zhou Ran was puzzled.
'It's specially prepared for the host. It's an ancient contract technique that ignores the restriction that beasts must be summoned from the beast space, and significantly enhances the loyalty between the beast and the beast tamer. Even if the beast exceeds the tamer's control range, it won't go berserk.' The system explained.
Zhou Ran paused and asked, 'Even if it's still in the cultivation chamber, I can summon it directly from a distance? And there will never be a situation where the beast goes berserk again?'
'Yes,' the system replied simply.
Zhou Ran listened and immediately made the exchange.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared on Zhou Ran's forehead, and the dim star map in his mind was instantly covered with a layer of golden light, with two of the stars also turning golden.
Zhou Ran felt his spirit instantly lighten. Previously, as the two beasts grew stronger, he had begun to feel some mental pressure, but now it had vanished completely.
Taking advantage of his relaxed state of mind and body, Zhou Ran continued to cultivate his divine consciousness technique...
With the mental pressure released, the efficiency of cultivating the divine consciousness technique improved significantly. The faint blue-gold light in the acupoints became more pronounced, and countless starlight energies in the air slowly flew towards Zhou Ran's body, as if he were wearing a layer of crystal armour.
Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was already dark.
Ah!
At that moment, Zhou Ran shouted loudly, and his powerful mental energy directly dispersed all the surrounding starlight energy.
"I've actually broken through to a four-star beast tamer." Zhou Ran clenched his fist excitedly, feeling a significant increase in his strength and enhanced perception.
Then Zhou Ran reached out and grabbed a box of exotic beast food from the shelf, which was directly pulled towards him.
"Is this the manifestation of starlight energy?" Zhou Ran watched the pale blue energy surging in his hand, feeling incredibly excited.
"It seems that if I go out pretending to be a master-level beast tamer, no one would doubt me, hehe!" Zhou Ran's face broke into a bright smile.
After that, Zhou Ran closed the shop and rode his electric scooter home, humming a tune along the way.
"Invincibility is so... so lonely..."
....
The next morning.
Hum!
With the sound of a car engine, two figures stepped out of a black sedan and waited quietly outside Zhou Ran's shop.
'Yuxi, do you think he'll agree to our request?' Li Feng asked anxiously.
'I'm not sure, but I feel he should be interested in this matter,' Jiang Yuxi smiled.
At that moment, Zhou Ran had just stepped out, feeling quite cheerful.
Moments later.
'Hey! Aren't you two the ones from yesterday? Why are you bothering me again today?' Zhou Ran's face darkened instantly.
'Sir, we're sorry. We're here to apologise today,' Jiang Yuxi said respectfully.
Zhou Ran's expression flickered, but he pretended not to hear them, pulled down the roller shutter, and walked into the shop.
The two immediately followed him inside.
'Don't give me that. Spit it out,' Zhou Ran said. He really didn't have a good impression of these two.
"Um... Sir, we're really sorry about yesterday. Jiang Yuxi bowed respectfully to Zhou Ran.
In fact, last night, Jiang Lin saw that the treasure-patterned pig was starving, so he fed it another凝fruit. After eating it, the treasure-patterned pig mysteriously broke through to the next level, and its originally pink body now had several blue water ripples, clearly indicating an increase in strength.
If yesterday he had to believe it due to Zhou Ran's 'backing,' now he fully believed it and even felt a sense of respect for Zhou Ran.
'Oh, really?' Zhou Ran continued cleaning without paying much attention.
Li Feng immediately ran over, took the broom from Zhou Ran's hands, and began helping with the cleaning.
Zhou Ran's lips curled slightly, but he quickly calmed down and continued to act aloof.
'The boss wants to show our sincerity, so please accept this.' Jiang Yuxi took out a stack of cash worth 300,000 and placed it in front of Zhou Ran.
'Wow, is this a gift?' Zhou Ran was secretly delighted, but the Blue Star Coins being given away couldn't be converted into points, so Zhou Ran coldly said, No need, I don't accept gifts for nothing."
'You gave me thirty thousand yuan. If there's anything you need in my shop, just ask.'
Zhou Ran was secretly delighted. Now he could exchange it for points. I'm really a genius.
Jiang Yuxi was taken aback. She had thought the boss was very greedy, but it seemed he wasn't like that after all.
'How about this? Boss, do you have anything that can enhance the strength of the Ice Sting Bone Butterfly?' Jiang Yuxi thought for a moment and asked.
Zhou Ran's eyes lit up and he said, 'Yes, just wait a moment.'
Zhou Ran immediately took out a blue box from the back of the store, which contained three pearl-white pills emitting an unusual aura.
'These are Shangqing Pills. Each one costs 100,000 yuan, so three will be 300,000 yuan. That's perfect,' Zhou Ran said.
Jiang Yuxi was startled. From the appearance, these pills were no different from ordinary ones, but the aura was exceptionally powerful, even startling Li Feng, who was sweeping the floor nearby.
"Sir, what is the use of these Shangqing Dan pills?" Jiang Yuxi asked.
"They are made from the eggshells of the Bai Yun Linghuang, and can enhance the innate abilities of beasts," Zhou Ran explained casually.
Jiang Yuxi was speechless. The Bai Yun Linghuang was a legendary divine beast-level beast! It was already an invincible existence, yet the boss actually had a pill made from its eggshell?
How powerful must the force behind this be?
'Enhance potential? Boss, did you get the price wrong?' Li Feng, who had been sweeping the floor, was now so excited he couldn't focus on his work.
In this world, the innate potential of a beast at birth determines how powerful it can become in the future. All pills that can enhance innate potential are exceptionally expensive, starting at a minimum of 300,000, and are often unavailable even at that price.
"What level of beast's innate potential can this Shangqing Pill enhance?" Jiang Yuxi suddenly asked.
"All levels below divine beast. Take three pills, and I guarantee it will undergo a qualitative leap." Zhou Ran shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
"..."
Jiang Yuxi and the others were speechless.
If it works for all beasts below the Divine Beast rank, that means it can even be used for a ninth-rank beast!
Goodness gracious, a pill of this calibre is only ten thousand per pill! If they didn't already have complete trust in Zhou Ran, they would have suspected it was a fake.
