“Click-”
After the skinny boy left, a low voice echoed in the foster shop.
In the stunned eyes of Xu Ran and Ziyun, a lizard pet with black scales, even its eyes completely black, stepped out of the shadow in front of the counter.
Only after seeing this two-meter-long creature, fitting into the medium-sized body type category, did Xu Ran belatedly realize it was the pet left in his care by the boy.
By now, Xu Ran could recognize some common pet beast species without the need for system identification; the black creature before him was an example.
A dark-attribute pet beast, the Shadow Chaser Lizard.
This lizard, covered in black scales, possessed the ability to blend into the shadows, making a powerful assassin in the darkness.
“Since your owner has left you in my care, consider this place your new home,” Xu Ran walked up to Shadow Chaser Lizard and spoke softly, “Follow me, I’ll show you around your new environment.”
“Ziyun, take care of the shop!”
“Meow-” (Leave it to me-)
Ziyun, who had stood up, slowly lay down, placing his front paws across his chest, calmly guarding the shop.

The Shadow Chaser Lizard didn’t seem too enthusiastic, its mood seemed quite low. It followed Xu Ran to the back door, matching his pace.
Observing the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s behavior, a thoughtful expression emerged in Xu Ran’s eyes.
There seemed to be some issues between this Beast Master and his pet.
When Du Heng first came to the foster shop, he examined the shop’s space, verified that the environment was suitable for his Armored Rhinoceros, and even observed the feeding process once.
After evaluating the Starfire Foster Care Shop and trusting it to be reliable, he left in peace.
That should be the essential workflow for a responsible Beast Master evaluating a new foster shop. But the skinny teenager simply glanced at the price, willingly paid a month’s foster fee, and left without another word.
The way he departed, after paying his dues, was as if he wanted to get away from his pet beast as soon as possible.
Considering the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s current low mood, it was obvious something had occurred between the two.
Generally, Xu Ran would not be inclined to meddle in such matters.
However, from his previous experience with the Colorful Cloud Parrot, he was aware that an unhappy pet impacted the pleasure value he obtained.
He just hoped the Shadow Chaser Lizard could cheer up. Maybe he should prepare a delicious meal for it, see if that could lift its spirits.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ran and the Shadow Chaser Lizard had reached the fostering area in the basement.
“Wait a moment.” Xu Ran took out the control hub and made some adjustments; a stone forest was soon added to the undulating wasteland.
Strange rocks of varying heights, some as high as ten meters, others at least three meters tall, and their shadows intertwining under the artificial light formed a large shaded area where the dark power gathered.
“You should like this environment.”
“Click-”
The Shadow Chaser Lizard glanced at Xu Ran and then stepped into the shadows. It disappeared as if it had sunk into water.
Even though he didn’t receive any pleasure value, it appeared from the creature’s reaction and movements that it was satisfied with this environment.
Xu Ran nodded slightly.
Next, he would prepare a delicious meal for it!
There’s nothing that a good meal can’t solve. If it doesn’t work, then make two meals!
In order to obtain more pleasure value, he had to use his adept hands and bring joy to the Shadow Chaser Lizard… Oops, he had been affected by the system too much.
Shaking his head, Xu Ran entered the Preparation Room and started working.
In the large fostering area, the low rumble of an Armored Rhinoceros pacing the wilderness echoed from time to time.
The Armored Rhinoceros noticed that a stone forest had appeared on the familiar wasteland. It tilted its head and looked puzzled.
When did it grow?
