Chapter 119: Chapter 94: Time for Pranks!_2

However, thinking that he only had one skill fusion stone left, and the chances of success were low, Xu Ran’s excitement quickly cooled down.

Er… I’ll keep that in mind but might swap it later when I have more skill fusion stones.

It was not long before the skill with the best chances of fusion with the self-healing power was found out to be a skill called “Recovery”. The fusion success rate of these two skills was even higher than that of the “Blood Fury+ Frenzy”, reaching 27.9%.

I’ll remember this one too.

Just as Xu Ran was preparing to go through the exchange list, looking for skills compatible for the next three-star skill, new customers arrived.

“Boss! I’m back after a few days!” Su Xiaoxiao’s voice was as cheerful as ever, and as soon as her words fell, she already arrived in front of Xu Ran, holding her Flame Fox.

“Are you here for washing and grooming?” Xu Ran asked with a smile.

“I do need grooming, but not today.” Su Xiaoxiao brushed the Flame Fox’s head, speaking softly, “Consider this as an appointment, I’ll bring Flame Fox for grooming the day after tomorrow.”

“Because you haven’t been opening the shop as usual these days, I’m afraid you might also be busy when the time comes.”

“You don’t have to worry too much about that.” Xu Ran shook his head and explained, “We’ve been closed recently because of the shop’s expansion and business upgrade. We will return to regular service hours moving forward.” After all, we can’t have system upgrades every day.

“Well, that’s reassuring.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed with relief.

“May I ask why are you grooming day after tomorrow?” He then casually gave the Flame Fox a system identification. It’s still pretty clean, but it’s time for grooming.

“Because the day after tomorrow is the Teen Beast Master Pet Beauty Contest in Qingzhou City!” Su Xiaoxiao explained cheerily.

“This competition is for Beast Masters under twenty years old. Based on the pet’s appearance, disposition, and performance, it determines a winner.”

“If you do well in the competition, you might even earn extra points for the college entrance exam!” When she said this, there was a glimmer of longing in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

As a freshman, if she could earn extra points for the college entrance exam, it’s like being one step ahead of her peers.

“So there’s such a competition.” Xu Ran nodded, now understanding Su Xiaoxiao’s insistence on grooming the day after tomorrow.

It’s too bad that the entry requirement for the Pet Beast Beauty Contest is under twenty years old, which he has already surpassed.

Otherwise, if they took Ziyun and Star to participate, the advertising effect might be even greater than the challenge match, after all, this is a beauty contest, the effects of the grooming are immediately noticeable.

“Don’t worry, I’ll reserve time for you the day after tomorrow.” Xu Ran gave a definite answer, and then casually asked, “Are any of your other classmates participating? Do we need to reserve time in advance?”

She has been a regular customer after all, it’s only right to take care of her.

But of course, there’s no way there will be a discount.

“They’re not participating.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, “The competition’s participation is selected within the school. Back then, I got this opportunity because of your grooming, Boss Xu. A Yue didn’t get it.”

“Although An Xun got the chance to participate later through other means, she gave up.” Su Xiaoxiao paused, “When Gu Ling transferred schools, the selection was already over, and she doesn’t seem to be interested.”

“Alright.” Xu Ran nodded slightly, still regretting that he couldn’t advertise.

“Don’t worry, Boss Xu.” It seemed like Su Xiaoxiao guessed something from Xu Ran’s regretful expression and she smiled, “If Flame Fox does well, I will definitely help promote your shop! I’ll let the audience know he was groomed at the Starfire Foster Care Shop!”

According to the teacher’s assessment of her, as long as her Flame Fox is groomed like before, it will be a strong contender for the top three in this beauty contest!

If they achieve this, a part of it should be attributed to Boss Xu, and it’s only right to help him advertise.

Uh… Boss Xu seems to love advertising. He should be happy, right?

Uh?

Xu Ran lifted his head, there’s more appreciation in his eyes looking at Su Xiaoxiao.

She is indeed teachable.

That being the case, he should make his appreciation known.

“Your grooming the day after tomorrow is free!”

“Yay!” Su Xiaoxiao was so happy she almost cried.

Finally, she’s got some benefit from the boss! She must show off to her sisters when she goes back!

“Oh yes!” Having arranged the grooming, a weight was lifted off her mind, and Su Xiaoxiao suddenly reacted, “Boss Xu, did your shop upgrade its services in these past few days?”

She turned to look at the price sign without hesitation.

When she saw the grooming price for the Super Large Pet Beasts, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but exclaim.

It’s so expensive!

Fortunately, Flame Fox is a small pet beast. Even if she improves the growth stage in the future, it won’t grow too large. From this perspective, she really saved some money.

Then she saw the prices for the General stage Pet Beast and the King stage Pet Beast’s fosterage, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but gasp.

It turns out… the payment is made in points!
