Unserious Beast Tamer

Chapter 23: Liu Gu’s Surprise—1

Translator: 549690339

By the time Xu Ran returned to the shop, the afternoon was more than halfway gone, and no more customers had come to the Starfire Foster Care Shop after Duan Anxun left.

As the sun slowly sank into the western horizon, Xu Ran prepared two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, for himself in the backyard and poured a small bowl full of purple sugar beans for Ziyun. Both master and pet ended their day’s work with a delicious dinner.

The training experience in the afternoon and the analysis of Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yue’s pet beasts made Xu Ran increasingly aware of the importance of knowledge.

Therefore, he went to bed early after washing up, leaned against the head of the bed as he did yesterday, and thirstily replenished his still insufficient knowledge.

Ziyun then, just like last night, snuggled up next to Xu Ran, feeling the warmth emanating from him, and peacefully fell asleep once again.

The lights went out in the deep night, and all was silent.

Outside Qingzhou City, at dawn.

The morning light shone on the towering walls of Qingzhou City. Inside the slowly opening city gate, many hunting squads were already waiting to go out.

At a time when most residents of the city were still in their dreams, the Beast Masters, willing to take high risks for high returns, had already started their day’s activities.

Among these hunting squads, there was one called the Tiger Hunting Squad, a five-man team. It was ranked in the middle among all the hunting squads, so not many people paid particular attention to them.

At this moment, in the Tiger Hunting Squad, team leader Zhang Yun looked back at Liu Gu behind him and asked, “Liu Gu, are you sure your new pet beast

is okay?”

“Team Zhang, don’t worry, I have reached an agreement with it!” Liu Gu smiled confidently, “Starting from today, our Tiger Hunting Squad will also have medical support!”

“Didn’t you complain to me yesterday morning about your new pet beast’s standoffish and refusal to communicate?” Yan Fan, a member of the squad, raised an eyebrow, “I didn’t expect you to have a knack for communicating with pet beasts!”

“Hehe~” Liu Gu seemed excited, but did not elaborate, “Anyway, you will see

the results today!”

“Speaking of which, Liu, are you in a relationship?” The only female teammate, Liu Xue, covered her mouth and laughed, “I see you’ve actually spruced up your sloppy looks.”

“Eh…” Liu Gu’s mouth twitched slightly, “Sister Liu is joking.”

Without waiting for Liu Xue to ask further, he immediately summoned his two

pet beasts to divert attention.

A Hexagram Star Array flickered twice behind Liu Gu, and amidst the howling wind, two figures, one large and one small, emerged from the void.

“Roar!”

The spirited Wind Lion Dog howled skywards, its swaggering appearance attracting quite a few surprised looks from passersby.

Just yesterday afternoon, it had successfully won back its sweetheart and enjoyed an unabashedly intimate night.

Nothing lifts a dog’s spirits more than a joyous occasion.

“Old Liu, why does your Wind Lion Dog look so different?”

The squad members who should have been focused on Liu Gu’s new pet beast had their attention drawn by the Wind Lion Dog as soon as it appeared. They had not even noticed the Sea Wave Flower beside him, which was looking around and pulling back its fluttering tentacles disdainfully.

“Haha, I took it for a wash and care session.” Liu Gu smiled proudly, patting the old partner’s big head, “Doesn’t it look handsome?”

“It really does! How much did it cost, a few thousand? I’ll take my Three-armed Demon Ape to try it next time.” Yan Fan said with a touch of envy.

Although it’s only for aesthetics, it does look cool!

“A few thousand?” Liu Gu widened his eyes, “26,666!”

“What?” Yan Fan quickly stepped back, “Forget I said anything.”

The other teammates also couldn’t help but stare at Liu Gu as if he was a fool.

You spent tens of thousands to wash and groom your pet beast?

Isn’t that a complete waste of money?

“You guys don’t understand!” At this point, Liu Gu no longer felt the grooming price was too high, but it was not easy to explain to his teammates, so he gave up explaining, “Okay, let’s get moving quickly, otherwise the clearing site we selected earlier may be occupied by other teams.”

“No more chatting. Let’s start.” Zhang Yun spoke seriously, “Du Heng!”

“Yes!” Standing next to Team Zhang, a silent and reticent man stepped forward, and a Hexagram Star Array burst into light behind him.

In the fierce wind, a rhinoceros as long as five meters walked out step by step. Its body was covered by iron scales, which reflected cold light under the sunlight, making it look like a walking armored vehicle.

An elite level earth attribute pet beast, the Armored Rhinoceros!

The Wind Lion Dog, as tall as a person, was deemed to be a medium-sized pet beast, but this one was indeed a large pet beast.

“Move out!”

All the members of the Tiger Hunting Squad quickly climbed onto the thick and solid back armor of the Armored Rhinoceros. Moments later, the Armored Rhinoceros accelerated and ran wildly, like an unstoppable armored vehicle, setting the earth rumbling under its feet and disappearing from the scene.

Outside Qingzhou City, in an area where Transcendent Beings were gathered, the Tiger Hunting Squad fought fiercely for several hours, eventually succeeding in driving out all the Transcendent Beings in the area.

Looking at the mountain of Transcendent Being corpses behind them, everyone was too exhausted to move, but they couldn’t help but cheer. Disassembling their bodies for valuable resources would earn them quite a sum.

“We made a big fortune this time; we can rest for a while now.” Zhang Yun smiled, “This time, we owe it all to Liu Gu’s second pet. Otherwise, even with the intelligence about this gathering spot, we wouldn’t have been able to handle it by ourselves.”

The concept of a hunting squad with a beast handling healing and one without is completely different.

“For this gain, you get an extra share.” Zhang Yun looked at Liu Gu, “After returning, you should focus on training it and get it to the elite stage as soon as possible.”

The other teammates all nodded, with no objection to Zhang Yun’s allocation. Even at the Transcendent Stage, it had offered such great help. It would definitely be even more helpful once the Sea Wave Flower reached the elite level.

“Okay!” Liu Gu smiled and looked at the Sea Wave Flower that was flying towards him, “Even if I have to dump resources into it, I will take it to the elite stage!”

“Also…” Zhang Yun glanced at Liu Gu’s Wind Lion Dog, which was covered in blood, “What happened to your Wind Lion Dog today?”

“Ah, this…” Upon hearing Zhang Yun’s question, Liu Gu’s mouth twitched slightly. With a hint of confusion, he looked at his old companion by his side. “Woof!” the Wind Lion Dog, now free from battle mode, turned back into its naive self, sticking out its tongue to pant at Liu Gu with clear and silly eyes. But just a moment ago, this dog looked like a god of death, holding its own against several elite stage Transcendent Beings at once. On several occasions, it even fearlessly dashed into the beast swarm, only to return unscathed. Although the dog was brave in the past, it had never performed like this before. If you want to talk about what happened to the dog in the past few days… It was only that it had gone for a wash and care, and then got its sweetheart back.

Could it be…

Unlike the academically trained Susan and Lin Yue, Liu Gu, who had a wealth of practical experience, only took a moment to identify the key to the problem. “It’s the wash and care!” Liu Gu’s eyes lit up, “After my pet beast received its care, its condition was better than ever, which led to its extraordinary performance in the battle!”

“What?!”
