Unserious Beast Tamer

“Ka—”

Xu Ran closed the shop door immediately, breathed deeply, and then reentered the lottery drawing page.

Having participated in so many lottery drawings, he was no longer naive about whether the prizes were of good quality or not. The prizes won through the system’s lottery were divided into six levels, ranging from lowest to highest: white, green, blue, purple, red, and gold.

Before this, the most valuable prize Xu Ran won was a blue reward.

Let’s see what these blue rewards are.

An Awakening Stone that can turn Ziyun into a Transcendent Being, a Good Luck Charm that saved his life in the nick of time, a Skill Fusion Stone that can merge skills into a stronger one…

Each of these would create quite a stir if placed in the outside world.

But now, he’s won a purple reward, which is even more valuable than the blue ones.

Coming back to his senses, Xu Ran looked at the single purple light group within the twenty light clusters.

[Meditation Acceleration Card]

[The Meditation Acceleration Card is a special product of the system. When used, the host’s meditation speed will increase for a month. This item cannot be used by anyone other than the host.]

Huh?

Xu Ran blinked his eyes.

A tool that can speed up meditation for a month?

It sounds really powerful, but doesn’t it seem a little out of line with the prestige he imagined a purple reward would possess?

However, this is indeed what he needs right now.

As Ziyun’s strength continues to increase day by day, its growth is nearly peaking. What is stopping it from breaking through is Xu Ran’s contract power.

Not to mention that Xu Ran often has mixed thoughts, making it difficult for him to meditate for extended periods. Even if he could, the normal speed of meditation definitely wouldn’t keep up with Ziyun’s breakthrough speed.

This is quite a problem.

And now, the Meditation Acceleration Card has come at just the right time.

After checking the details of the purple reward, Xu Ran began counting the other prizes.

Aside from the white prizes, which are just there to make up numbers, he has won eight prizes: three blue and five green.

The three blue rewards are all Skill Fusion Stones. In addition to the one he hadn’t used before, he now has four. If Ziyun gets a compatible skill for fusion, the four skill fusion stones have a high chance of fusion success.

Of the five green rewards, four are Energy Abundant potions and the last one is a new prize Xu Ran has never seen before.

[Fast-Acting Healing Potion]

[Fast-Acting Healing Potion is a special product of the system. When injured, taking it will recover the injury at an extremely fast speed.]

It sounds good, but for Ziyun, its value is less than that of the Energy Abundant Potion.

After all, Ziyun already possesses self-healing skills.

After perusing all the rewards, Xu Ran exited the lottery interface.

Meditation Acceleration Card, activate!

He was eager to see how much acceleration this meditation card, as a purple reward, could actually provide.

“Ziyun, help me watch the shop while I try to meditate,” Xu Ran reopened the shop door, indicating to Ziyun to watch the shop while he tried to meditate. If anyone came in, Ziyun was to wake him up. After that, he went back behind the counter, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

“Meow-” (“Go for it~”)

Ziyun lazily responded, showing satisfaction at Xu Ran’s sudden fervor but wasn’t optimistic about it.

After all, Xu Ran has tried to meditate several times over the past few days, and it was good if he could stick with it for ten minutes.

As time ticked away, Ziyun’s original laziness gradually disappeared.

It stood up, astonished as it looked at Xu Ran, who was still in a meditative state, unmoved. A look of surprise quickly appeared on its face.

Could it be that its breakthrough to the Starlight Level in all skills indirectly inspired the Beast Master?

Cheer up!Cheer up!

In its heart, it was rooting for Xu Ran, its eyes filled with an expectant look.

Once the Beast Master’s contract power reached the second stage, it could break through!

At this moment, Xu Ran was in a state of immense shock.

As soon as he entered meditation, he noticed the difference after using the Meditation Acceleration Card.

Before this, he found it difficult to clear his mind of distractions and fully enter a meditative state. Now, however, a single thought was enough to clear his mind and enter a meditative state, without any interruptions by stray thoughts.

Without a doubt, this greatly improved his meditation efficiency.

And this was just the minor assistive effect of the Meditation Acceleration Card.

After entering meditation, Xu Ran was immediately astounded by the acceleration effect of the card.

His meditation speed increased by 100 times!

If such a meditation speed could be maintained for the next month…

Then his one month of meditation would be equivalent to eight years of meditation by other Beast Masters!

What does eight years mean?

The new Beast Master students recruited by Beast Mastery High School, by the time of graduation in their third year, the best batch among them could reach the second stage of contract power, and contract two elite level pet beasts.

But such excellent graduates usually represented only about 50% of the class, while the rest needed one or two years after graduation to reach this level.

This shows that ordinary Beast Masters typically need three to five years of normal meditation for their contract power to break through from the first to the second stage.

Xu Ran, with only normal meditation, could surely break through to the second stage within a month. If all goes well, the third stage of contract power may not be too far off!

If it were not for the calming function of the Meditation Acceleration Card, the surprise and joy that surged to his heart at this moment would be enough to bring Xu Ran out of his meditative state.

Practice!

Practice hard!

It’s well-deserved as a Purple Reward, so terrifying!

“Variegated Dragon Sparrow! Pick yourself up!”

Zhou Hao stood on the battlefield, watching his incredibly proud pet beast fall heavily under the opponent’s attack and completely lose its combat capabilities. His face was filled with an unwilling look.

It was so close.

This was an assessment of a professional Battle Master’s combat power. As long as he defeated the assessor in front of him, his combat power rating could be improved, thus gaining better conditions.

Such an assessment doesn’t happen all the time, and there is only one chance a year.

“What, is it over?” The assessor spoke slowly, “If that’s the case, it’s a shame, and you’ll have to wait another year to try again.”

“Or, you should have another beast, right? You can let it try.”

Zhou Hao couldn’t help but clenched his fists.

Professional Battle Masters are divided into two different directions according to the situation of their beasts: Team Battle Master and Individual Battle Master.

The former does not necessarily have strong individual pet beast capabilities, but their pet beasts cooperate seamlessly, capable of producing an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

The latter focuses on cultivating a single pet beast, pouring a great deal of effort into training it to have extremely high individual strength.

Undoubtedly, no matter how strong an individual is, it is hard to compete with a coordinated team.

So Zhou Hao’s initial plan was to transition to become a Team Battle Master after contracting with his second pet beast, letting the Shadow Chaser Lizard and Variegated Dragon Sparrow fight together.

But the irreconcilable conflict between the two pet beasts made him give up this idea and settle for becoming an Individual Battle Master.

Comparing the Shadow Chaser Lizard and the Variegated Dragon Sparrow, the latter undoubtedly had a higher cultivation ceiling. So, without much hesitation, he chose to foster the Shadow Chaser Lizard and fully cultivate the Variegated Dragon Sparrow.

And now, the Variegated Dragon Sparrow had lost..
