Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 170 If the Skylark Enters the System

"I'll leave this wind-skipper to you."

Chen Yuan decided to give some support to this future world's number one bounty hunter.

Huo Hong shook his head: "Advisor Chen, thank you for your kindness."

"but"

He grinned and changed the subject: "I don't deserve it."

Catching this blimp had nothing to do with him, and even though he was short of money at the moment, he couldn't convince himself to accept this kindness.

Moreover, the value of Consultant Chen's selfless guidance to me far exceeds the reward provided by the bounty mission.

Chen Yuan glanced at Huo Hong, who had a determined look, and did not continue to persuade him: "Okay."

The solution to this shrew is very simple. Just keep it away from this area and don't compete with the skylarks for food.

The diet of the shrew is very diverse and it can eat all kinds of food.

The violent skylark is different. It prefers cereal spiritual plants such as Youfeng Millet, and it is very troublesome for it to find food again.

Although most of these wandering millets were eaten by the plundering shrews, this kind of spiritual plant grows quickly and it won't take long for it to meet the food needs of the skylarks again.

Then, the skylarks will no longer have to compete with the chicks for silver pine cones.

A tribal fight was eliminated invisibly.

"Spark, find it a new home, away from here." Chen Yuan said as his thoughts flashed through his mind.

Chen Yuan first touched the unconscious Wind-Swallowing Shrew, and then Sparks grabbed it tightly and flew away.

"Advisor Chen, I'll be leaving first." Looking at Huo Hua's figure gradually walking away, Huo Hong spoke immediately.

He wanted to wait for the Wind-Snatching Shrew to wake up and then catch it with his own abilities.

This is the short-term goal he set for himself and the Qinglan Hunting Dog.

This is their goal, but also a time of tempering and practice.

Become the world's number one bounty hunter and start by catching the Wind Raider.

Chen Yuan saw what Huo Hong was thinking and said with a smile, "Okay."

"Qinglan Hound, let's go."

"Ow!"

A man and a dog ran forward, chasing Sparks' figure.

Suddenly, Huo Hong turned around and waved his phone at Chen Yuan: "Advisor Chen, can you add a contact number?"

"no problem."

After adding the contact information, Huo Hong stared at Chen Yuan and Kele for a long time, and suddenly said, "Advisor Chen, I hope that next time we meet, we can have a pet battle."

"When the time comes, Qinglan Hunting Hound and I will surprise you."

"I'll wait and see." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Unknowingly, Chen Yuan made an agreement with a beastmaster to have his pets fight each other.

After watching Huo Hong leave, Chen Yuan looked up at the Skylarks and said with a smile, "Let's go. It's time to apologize to the Young Owls."

“Chirp, chirp!”

The skylarks were unwilling to give in. They were of bad temper and unwilling to apologize to the other pets. They kept flapping their wings and making high-pitched calls.

"Ouch!"

Coke raised his head and howled, causing a strong gust of wind that blew the flock of skylarks off their feet.

“Chirp.”

Under the intimidation of Coke, the skylarks finally agreed to apologize.

At this time, an idea popped up in Chen Yuan's mind: "If you drive away one sheep, you can also let two sheep go. Why not include the group of young owls in the farm's security system?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up and his thoughts diverged instantly: "Then introduce a competition mechanism. Not only will the good performance be rewarded with spiritual plants, but also let Coke provide guidance."

Both the Skylark and the Young Owl are wind-type pets. With Coke's strength and skill proficiency, he is fully capable of providing guidance.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the skylarks can also be stimulated.

When Sparks came back, Chen Yuan asked the Skylarks to lead the way to the Silver Pine Forest where the young owl tribe was located.

Silver pines grow on the cliffs, and each one is like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

However, this silver pine forest is a bit far from Xuanhe Village.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and finally decided on his idea: "Let the Skylarks be responsible for keeping an eye on the situation around the village, and the Young Owls will keep an eye on the nearby area and notify me immediately if anything unusual happens."

As a good ranger, he needs a lot of eyes in the forest.

The Flame-Tailed Fox and the Ice Fox are spies, the bear father and the bear cubs are also spies, and with this group of young feather owls, they are enough to cover a large area.

Whether it is patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests, or performing special tasks, their help is needed.

After the skylarks apologized, the young owls readily agreed to Chen Yuan's request.

After all, Sparks and Coke were watching them covetously, so they had to agree even if they didn't want to.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you should get along well with each other in the future and stop fighting all day."

Chen Yuan called the leader of the Skylark and the leader of the Young Owl to his side, held their heads at the same time, and said, "Come, hold hands and make peace."

"twitter!"

The leader of the skylarks first glared at the leader of the young owls, reluctantly stretched out his wings, and then turned his head away, deliberately not looking at the latter.

"Chiu-woo."

The leader of the young owls stretched out its wings at the same time. Its attitude was much gentler and it nodded slightly.

The wing grasping was completed, and the ethnic conflict caused by the wind-skimming shrew was completely over.

However, before the free-flowing millet matures again, this group of skylarks has no stable food source. How can they survive this period?
It's impossible to share the silver pine cones with the young owl, right?
Moreover, Chen Yuan was unable to afford the daily food for this group of skylarks.

We must find a way to ensure that these skylarks have enough food.

He pondered for a long time, and a figure gradually emerged in his mind.

Then, Chen Yuan made a phone call:
"Haozi, are you busy?"

"No, Brother Yuan, what's the matter?"

"Let me introduce you to a new business."

Zhang Hao sat up straight immediately, his eyes lit up: "What business?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Lease the Skylark."

After a brief pause, he carefully worded his words and explained, "Our Qinling APP has not yet been launched. Many beast masters run around like headless flies after entering the mountains. They can't find wild pets or spiritual plants, and waste their time in vain."

"If there is a skylark that is familiar with the surrounding environment, this problem can be solved."

"Besides, with Skylark here, we can avoid danger in advance."

Zhang Hao thought for a long time and asked a key question: "Brother Yuan, I need to confirm a question."

"These skylarks won't attack the beastmaster at will, right?"

He recalled the miserable scene of being chased by this group of skylarks.

Chen Yuan coughed lightly and said, "As long as we give you enough food, this won't happen."

"I think it's feasible." Zhang Hao pondered, "Set a low rental fee and let them pay for Bao Yunque's meals themselves."

The price is low, and considering that Skylarks have small appetites, Zhang Hao believes that many Beast Tamers will be willing to rent this inexpensive and high-quality local guide.

"What do you think?" Chen Yuan looked at the skylarks and asked, "As long as we serve as guides for humans, we will have enough food every day."

"But you must control your temper and never attack the Beastmaster."

"If I knew you were attacking the Beastmaster..."

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at Huo Hua: "Huo Hua, help me teach them a lesson."

"Chirp!"

Sparks looked sharp as he spread his wings and glanced at each of the skylarks one by one. His terrifying aura made them all nod their heads like chicks pecking at rice.

"very good."

Seeing the reactions of the skylarks, Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

This is the simplest form of work-for-relief.

Since Zhang Hao's farm house opened, he has been actively promoting it online. Coupled with the farm house's own leading environment and services, business is booming and has been recognized by many beast tamers.

Zhang Hao took advantage of the situation to launch a gray-armored wild boar riding service, and brought out all the gray-armored wild boars in his home, earning a considerable amount of money every day.

With the addition of the guide Skylark, Chen Yuan believes that his business will reach a new level.

"Brother Yuan, you will get 70% of the income and I will get 30%." Zhang Hao said.

"Let's split it fifty-fifty." Chen Yuan said.

Zhang Hao stood up suddenly and shook his head, saying, "You are the only one who can control this group of violent skylarks. I am just providing a channel."

"It's settled. Now I have to get busy."

Without waiting for Chen Yuan to refuse, Zhang Hao hung up the phone.

"This guy..." Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Anyway, the food problem of the skylark was temporarily solved.

But Chen Yuan was worried that this group of hot-tempered guys might cause trouble, so he would have to ask Zhang Hao to keep an eye on them.

Well, the first rule of Skylark's work is not to beat customers.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan remembered something and took out his phone to send a message to Zhang Hao: "By the way, you can customize a batch of small vests for these skylarks and write the name of your farmhouse on them."

Zhang Hao: “Received.”

After a while, Zhang Hao sent another message: "Brother Yuan, how about I make one for you too? When you participate in the competition, wear it and advertise for me (smiley face)."

Chen Yuan: "Get lost."

Zhang Hao: "Okay."

Retracting his phone, Chen Yuan looked at the group of skylarks in front of him and said thoughtfully, "When it's time to work, don't fly around. Stay with the client at all times."

"Everything is arranged by the customer."

"Don't be angry if the food is bad, as long as you are full."

“Don’t fight when you have a conflict with a client.”

"If a client wants to contract you, agree to it if you can. Maybe you can live a comfortable life without worrying about food and drink from now on."

"."

at the same time,

Zhang Hao’s “Good Luck Farmhouse” welcomed two familiar guests.

After many days, Yang Yue and Li Qing returned to this place that left a deep impression on them.

"You're a little late." Zhang Hao poured tea for the two of them, squinted at the sunset in the sky, and smiled, "If we want to go into the mountains, we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"It's not easy to come here." Yang Yue stretched lazily. The long car ride made her back ache. "Let's go tomorrow morning. There's no rush anyway."

After saying this, she looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Is Consultant Chen in the village?"

"In the mountains. He just called me and said that the group of skylarks needs work." Zhang Hao said.

"Skylark needs a job?" Yang Yue looked puzzled.

She knew all these words, but putting them together made her look confused.

Zhang Hao explained simply: "It means letting the Skylarks become guides for beast masters from other places to help them find pets and spiritual plants." Yang Yue's eyes lit up: "Is it the group of Skylarks that attacked us?"

After these words were spoken, Zhang Hao and Li Qing beside him both looked unhappy.

Bad memories flooded my mind.

"Yes, it's this group of guys." Zhang Hao nodded.

"I want to try it." Yang Yue lifted her hair from her forehead and said excitedly, "What do you think, Qingqing?"

"It's up to you." Li Qing said concisely.

"Okay." Yang Yue waved his hand and said proudly, "Then we will rent two Skylarks."

"Hehe, these skylarks made us suffer so much. I'm going to find a way to take revenge on them."

A black line appeared on Zhang Hao's forehead, and he quickly persuaded: "No, no, no, they are employees now, and they have reformed a long time ago."

"Be kind, you must be kind."

"I was just kidding." Yang Yue laughed, "It just so happens that this time when we go into the mountains, we need a guide who is familiar with the environment."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Are we still going into the mountains to train?"

"I want to contract a second pet." Yang Yue answered truthfully.

She became a mid-level beastmaster a few days ago, and now that the Cloud Fox has broken through to the second level, it's time to look for a new pet.

"Hey~"

The petite Cloud Fox nodded, its long fluffy tail swaying gently.

It also wants new partners.

"Awesome, a distinguished mid-level beastmaster." Zhang Hao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and subconsciously looked at Li Qing who was sitting quietly.

"Don't look at her. She became a mid-level beastmaster before me, and she has already contracted a new pet." Yang Yue said with a smile, "It's also a snake pet."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but muttered: "The two snakes are simply Brother Yuan's strongest nemesis."

Zhang Hao has been complaining about Chen Yuan's fear of snakes since he was a child.

"Please sit down for a while. I will contact Brother Yuan."

After half an hour,
Chen Yuan strode into the yard. Yang Yue and Li Qing immediately stood up and nodded at the same time to greet him: "Advisor Chen."

The last time they saw Chen Yuan was at the Taibai Cup. They were deeply impressed by Chen Yuan’s wonderful performance and felt great respect for this mysterious farmer.

This respect extended to a change in status and mentality, making it impossible for them to treat Consultant Chen, who was now known as Baokun City's number one beastmaster, the same way they did before.

They simply couldn't remain calm when facing Chen Yuan, who had a higher status and stronger ability than themselves and also had a group of fans online.

Chen Yuan was quick to notice the two's different thoughts, so he joked, "It's only been a while since we last met, why are you calling me Consultant Chen? Just call me by my name."

Seeing Chen Yuan's reaction, Yang Yue was no longer reserved and said casually, "Advisor Chen is more easy to say. I'll get used to it after calling him that."

Li Qing nodded slightly in agreement.

"Hey~"

At this time, Yunzonghu saw the twin concubines sitting on Chen Yuan's shoulders, and his eyes sparkled.

"Hello little one."

Chen Yuan greeted Yunzonghu, but the latter's attention was all on the twin concubines and he ignored him.

The charm of the Twin Flower Concubine is not limited to pet animals, even humans will be captured by its super high appearance.

Yang Yue has taken out his cell phone, turned on the selfie mode, and tried to take a photo with his twin concubines.

Li Qing seemed rather reserved, but his eyes were always on the twin concubines.

"Sigh~"

Suddenly, a little green head popped out from the backpack behind Li Qing and looked at the twin concubines with curiosity.

Chen Yuan silently took a half step back.

Appeared!
His strongest nemesis, a terrifying existence that he cannot face head-on - a snake pet.

Zhang Hao said with a sly smile: "Li Qing, didn't you contract a second pet? Let it out and let us have a look."

Li Qing didn't understand, but nodded, then opened the zipper of her backpack. Two slender figures crawled out of it, one on the left and one on the right, and wrapped around her arms.

Chen Yuan retreated again.

One of the figures was the scaly green snake that Chen Yuan was familiar with. Compared with the previous one, the scaly green snake had a longer body and more vibrant green scales.

The other figure was covered in translucent blue scales, with a wavy pattern on his forehead.

Ripple Shadow Snake, a water-type pet.

This kind of pet is quite special, as its scales change color depending on its mood: dark blue like the deep sea when alert, and light blue like a stream when calm.

Seeing Chen Yuan's reaction, Li Qing blinked and said subconsciously: "So you are afraid of snakes."

"Ahem." Yang Yue coughed a few times and said something with high emotional intelligence, "It seems that sending out snake pets is very advantageous when facing Consultant Chen."

Chen Yuan said quietly: "I am afraid of snakes, but they are not."

"Chirp!"

"Ow!"

Sparks spread its wings and Cola raised his head and howled, scaring the two little snakes so much that their bodies trembled.

Yang Yue was silent for a moment.

Zhang Hao chuckled but changed the subject in time: "Brother Yuan, where are those skylarks? They want to rent two of them."

Chen Yuan clapped his hands: "You can come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of skylarks flew into the yard in a line. With the order from their leader, they landed neatly in front of everyone.

"Report your number." Chen Yuan said.

"Chirp!" The first skylark suddenly made a sound.

"Chirp!" the second skylark answered.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”

After the count was over, all the skylarks stared at Chen Yuan intently. The neat team and disciplined response made people wonder whether they were really the skylarks with violent temperaments.

The three of them stared at this scene in a daze. After a while, Zhang Hao asked with a tone full of emotion: "Brother Yuan, have you given them military training?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "I practiced for a while."

Letting the skylarks work in exchange for relief was just a sudden idea, intended to help them get through the awkward period of food shortage, but Chen Yuan felt that this was an opportunity.

Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to discuss the topic of how humans and pets can live in harmony.

Some fire departments hire water pets and train them into little firefighters; some police stations hire canine pets, whose search and arrest abilities are widely recognized.
Unconsciously, pet animals have appeared in all walks of life and are closely connected with the lives of ordinary people.

Although the Skylarks are wild pets with violent temperaments, this opportunity can also be used to allow more ordinary people to have a deeper understanding of this pet.

This is the best embodiment of harmonious coexistence between humans and pets.

With this idea in mind, Chen Yuan trained this group of skylarks in the shortest possible time, so that they could serve customers as well as possible.

"You pick two." Chen Yuan said.

"I'll go first." Yang Yue stepped forward and looked at the group of skylarks with great interest. Finally, he pointed at the leader of the skylarks and said, "That's it!"

She remembered clearly that it was this skylark that cried the loudest and chased the most fiercely.

Unexpectedly, one day, she and this skylark would meet in such a strange way.

Li Qing chose an ordinary skylark.

"From now on, you will be responsible for their three meals a day." Chen Yuan said.

"Yeah, I will definitely give it the best food." Yang Yue stared at the leader of the skylarks with a playful smile on his face.

For some reason, the leader of the Skylarks suddenly had a bad feeling.

Night gradually falls,

The lingering evening breeze blew gently, ruffling Chen Yuan's fine black hair.

At Zhang Hao's invitation, he stayed for dinner.

Since the business of Good Luck Farmhouse has been getting better and better, Zhang Hao's parents are responsible for cooking, and a relative helps with cleaning.

The dinner was very sumptuous and the little ones enjoyed it very much.

"Have you really decided to be responsible for the meals of these skylarks?" Chen Yuan suddenly spoke at the dinner table.

Previously, Zhang Hao volunteered to be responsible for the meals of the Skylarks that were not rented out.

Zhang Hao patted his chest and said, "Even if their appetites were combined, they would still not be as good as that of a grey-armored wild boar."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Besides, they will bring me some income, which will be a small expense."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly had a good idea: "Instead of doing this, why not tell Brother Song about this and let these violent skylarks become outsourced employees of the Beast Tamer Office."

"When there is work, let them be your guides."

"When there is nothing to do, let them patrol the surrounding area of Xuanhe Village to form a double insurance with the Paw Patrol."

"I'm sure Brother Song and the village chief won't refuse."

"Good idea!" Zhang Hao slapped his thigh, then gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up, "When it comes to exploiting employees, you have to be the one, Brother Yuan."

Chen Yuan retorted: "How can this be considered exploitation? With food and drink, and a comfortable life, this is definitely a hard-to-come-by, safe job."

In this way, the Skylarks will be considered half-employees of the system and have a bright future.

Chen Yuan solved the food problem for the skylarks and let them patrol the surrounding environment of Xuanhe Village, indirectly enhancing the security of the farm.

Zhang Hao received a stable income and was no longer responsible for the meals of the Skylarks, thus eliminating an extra expense.

Kill three birds with one stone, a perfect solution.

"By the way, which direction are you planning to go when you enter the mountains this time?" Chen Yuan turned the topic back to the two girls.

The two girls looked at each other, and Yang Yue replied, "To the north, I heard there is a wild earth bear living there, and it once caused Zhuang Jianbai a lot of trouble."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You also know about this?"

Yang Yue chuckled: "The whole school knows about it."

Chen Yuan silently sympathized with Zhuang Jianbai. He didn't know how long this dark history would be talked about.

However, given Zhuang Jianbai's current state of mind, he would probably just laugh it off even if he knew.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was immediately delighted and pointed to the yard: "I can testify that I was at the scene. Zhuang Jianbai took the initiative to say that the Winter Dog was defeated several times by the Earth Bear."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "When you go into the mountains now, you probably won't run into that wild earth bear. It has moved away."

"Moved?" Yang Yue was stunned.

"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes piercing through the dim night sky and landing on the mountains in the distance, "Moved to a very far place."

"It's okay. We're not going there for it." Yang Yue said, "I just want to find a suitable pet. Well, preferably a male fox pet, which can be a perfect match for my Yunzong Fox."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Yunzong Fox looked up blankly and happened to see the mocking smile on the beastmaster's face.

"Then give birth to a super cute fox baby, and the family of three will be complete."

"Bah"

This time, Yunzong Fox understood what his beastmaster meant and quickly lowered his head, pretending not to hear. However, his tail swaying from side to side revealed his complicated thoughts at the moment.

For a moment, the lobby was filled with a happy atmosphere.
