Looking at the pleasure value constantly supplied by the Armored Rhinoceros, and then at the blissful gaze of the Armored Rhinoceros after eating the food he had personally prepared, Xu Ran fell silent.
This wasnât his fault at all.
It was definitely an issue with the formula the System had provided him.
On the other side, Du Heng, who was observing the unprecedented display of his pet beast and the strong satisfaction it was persistently expressing via the Beast Taming Contract, wore an inexplicable expression on his face.
How on earth did the young boss achieve this?
This is too incredible, isnât it?
However, something felt off about the Armored Rhinocerosâs expressions, didnât it?
Um, he must be imagining things.
When the Armored Rhinoceros finished his cheerful meal, Du Heng came forward and patted it on its big head. âI have to leave now. When I have the time, Iâll come and visit you. You can also let me know how youâre doing here through the Beast Taming Contract,â he said.
âRoar?? â
The gaze of the Armored Rhinoceros still held enchantment even after finishing its food, as it swayed its big head, swinging its rear end and tail.
It very much liked the environment here, and the food was wonderful, something the Armored Rhinoceros had never tasted before; it couldnât be happier to stay here!
âYoung boss, Iâll leave my Armored Rhinoceros in your care.â Du Heng took a deep breath and turned to look at Xu Ran.
âDonât worry, Iâll take good care of it.â Xu Ran said, his smile bright.
With the completion of the Armored Rhinocerosâs meal, the physical points gained from the drug application were credited.

Although the use of the drug application did not improve his skill experience, which made him somewhat confused, the thought of being able to easily increase Ziyunâs growth stage by seven points still made him very happy. You see, after Ziyun uses an Energy Abundant Potion and trains nonstop for three hours, it can only increase about 20 points of progress. Moreover, as the growth progress increases, the efficiency decreases.
The pleasure value provided by feeding should not be ignored aside from physical points.
Although the pleasure value gained from feeding is lower than that of washing and protection, under normal circumstances, a pet beast could only be taken care of in such a way once every ten or fifteen days, while Armored Rhinoceros needed to eat twice a day!
At this moment, his gaze at the Armored Rhinoceros seemed different.
Du Heng was silent for a while.
Why did it feel like the young bossâs look at his pet beast was somewhat out of place?
Nevermind, it must be his misperception.
âIâm off!â
Du Heng looked back three times before he finally left the basement. âArmored Rhinoceros, from now on, consider this place your home.â Xu Ran patted the Armored Rhinocerosâs big head and then turned to walk into the preparation room.
He needed to prepare a meal for Ziyun.
[To improve feeding efficiency this time, the system will grant the host knowledge related to the Nutrition Science of the Electric Chasing Cat species]
Letâs get it!
âMeow-â (Iâm so bored-)
Resting lazily atop the store counter, Ziyun dangled its head.
The Human Beast Master named Du Heng had been gone for a while now. Why hadnât its own Beast Master come upstairs yet?
Judging by Du Hengâs satisfied expression, his Armored Rhinoceros should
have been fostered in the basement, right?
Was the Beast Master feeding that big guy?
Ziyun felt a little sour, picturing its Beast Master handing food to the Armored Rhinoceros.
Thatâs a special treatment that only it should be able to enjoy!
Using its paw, it reached into the food bag beside it and put a few purple sugar beans into its mouth, stopping for a moment right after.
Was it possible that when the Beast Master fed other peopleâs pet beasts, he could also teach it new skills?
With this thought, its eyes filled with anticipation, and regret for its previous thoughts.
The Beast Master is doing all this for himself!
âMeow-â (The Beast Master is amazing!)
âWhatâs so great?â Xu Ran, who had just entered the store through the back door, heard Ziyunâs exclamation and casually asked.
Ziyun quickly raised its head to locate the sound, and the next moment its gaze fell on the food bowl in Xu Ranâs hand.
With its keen sense of smell, it immediately caught a strong irresistible aroma.
In the face of this aroma, be it cat food or the purple sugar beans it had just eaten, they seemed ordinary!
Whatâ¦what is this?!
âHere! This is new food I prepared for you, want to try?â Seeing Ziyunâs drooling eyes, Xu Ran placed the food bowl in front of Ziyun.
âRoar!â For the first time, Ziyun didnât care about table manners. It buried its head directly into the bowl and started eating heartily.
Seeing the little guyâs satisfied expression, Xu Ran smiled, âSince you like it so much, Iâll make this kind of food for you from now on.â
âMeowââ
Ziyun nodded in satisfaction and was about to continue eating when it suddenly paused.
What did the Beast Master just say?
This is the food he made?!
It abruptly raised its head, looking bewildered at its own Beast Master. âMeow?â (You have this cooking skill, why do you still need to buy food from outside?)
In the face of Ziyunâs soul-deep questioning, the corners of Xu Ranâs mouth twitched slightly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He didnât have this cooking skill beforeâ¦
But he canât explain it this way to Ziyun.
âBecause I didnât have the Green Jade Fruit before.â Xu Ran quickly found a seemingly reasonable excuse, âTo make this kind of food, it is needed.â Ziyun seemed to understand.
Thinking about the danger they encountered in the city while gathering Green Jade Fruits with the Beast Master, Ziyun felt overwhelmingly moved at this moment.
The Beast Master risked so much to prepare more delicious food for himself!
Heâs reallyâ¦I am going to cry to death!
After finishing the meal, Ziyun felt that its strength had also increased a bit. Itâs indeed the food on which the Beast Master had poured his heart into! Logging the increase of 1 physical point on Ziyunâs panel, Xu Ran nodded slightly.
As expected of a recipe from the system, effective immediately!
âNow comes the pleasant phase of gaining points.â Xu Ran smiled mysteriously.
Gaining points? What is that?
Linking it to the Beast Master just coming out of the underground floor,
Ziyunâs eyes lit up.
âMeow?â (Is it a new skill?)
âNot a skill, but itâs still something helpful to you.â Xu Ran replied, beginning his operations at the same time.

While monitoring the growth progress change earlier, Xu Ran discovered that behind the growth progression, there was now a clickable plus sign.
After clicking seven times in succession, Ziyunâs growth progress changed to (174/500), and the balance of physical points on the personal panel was reset to zero.
Ziyun:â!!!â
This sensation of power continuously growingâ¦.so cool!
