Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 177 The Charm of Consultant Chen

Friday, January 10th.

clear.

There is still one week before the research team arrives in Qinling Mountains.

After running around for a long time last night, Chen Yuan had a good sleep and didn't open his eyes until noon.

The first thing I do after getting up is to check whether Coke and the others are staying well on the farm.

When he returned home last night, Chen Yuan had already asked about the whole story.

Cola and his friends learned about the poachers from Xiao Xiao Zhao, and then asked Chiyu Owl to help find them.

On the way, they happened to meet the returning Skylark and finally found the poachers successfully.

The process was not full of twists and turns, but Coke and the others' unauthorized actions made Chen Yuan vaguely worried.

"Ouch~~"

When he arrived at the yard, Chen Yuan saw Coke bragging to the chicks about what happened yesterday and his own heroic performance.

"Cuckoo~"

The little chicks were very enthusiastic and kept flapping their wings, showing great interest in this matter.

This made Coke even more proud, and his tail kept shaking like a propeller.

"Dian Dian!"

Den Den Flying Cat suddenly interrupted and said that he still had his own heroic performance.

"Quack~"

RunRun Duck never pays attention to these false reputations. It lies on the ground with its eyes squinted, enjoying the sunshine caressing its body.

warm.

Suddenly, a shadow spread, blocking the sunlight, and Run Run Duck was furious: "Quack!"

Who's blocking me from basking in the sun?
Runrun Duck raised its head and suddenly found that it was the farmer coming over. The sound stopped abruptly, and it moved its butt and moved aside on its own initiative.

The shadow covered his whole body. Kele immediately sensed that danger was approaching. His body trembled inexplicably, and he turned to look at Chen Yuan with his tongue sticking out: "Ahhh~"

"You are very proud." Chen Yuan said with a half-smile.

The unpredictable tone scared Coke, so it quickly lay down and covered its ears with its paws.

I won't listen, I won't listen!
Chen Yuan pushed Kele's paw aside, then grabbed its ears and said in a serious voice: "I have told you so many times that you must at least tell me before leaving the village. Don't act on your own."

"Especially in a situation like yesterday, it was very dangerous and you could get hurt if you weren't careful."

"Ouch?"

Coke tilted his head, looking puzzled.

Is it dangerous?
I didn't feel it.

But looking at Chen Yuan's clenched fist, Kele shrank his neck and did not dare to question this statement out loud.

Let the master say whatever he says.

"I am very disappointed with your actions yesterday." Chen Yuan's face was stern, and his serious tone made Coke's heart tremble.

Finished!
The electric flying cat also sensed a dangerous aura and tiptoed back, but was stopped by Chen Yuan: "Don't leave."

Diandian Flying Cat has always been the smartest and has the most brilliant ideas. Their action this time definitely depends on its advice.

"Dian Dian."

The electric flying cat drooped its ears and snuggled up to Coke like a pair of brothers in distress.

Chen Yuan turned his head to glance at Runrun Duck lying in the sun, and quickly looked away.

RunRun Duck is a lazy person and hates exploring and fighting the most. He must have been bewitched by Coke and Diandian Flying Cat.

As for the Fallen Horned Beast, there is no need to mention it, it is just a simple and honest person.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan stared at Coke and Diandian Flying Cat. His serious expression made the two little guys feel scared.

Oops, the master is angry!
Cola was in a panic and quickly looked to Diandian Flying Cat for help.

Think of a solution quickly!
Den Den Flying Cat lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

Facing the angry farmer, no matter how smart and creative the Flying Cat is, his brain is blank at this moment.

"I understand that your original intention of forming an adventure team is good, but many things are not as simple as you think. You must be cautious and careful."

Chen Yuan squatted down, looked directly into Keke's blue eyes, and his tone gradually softened.

"Ouch?"

Coke suddenly raised his head and stared at his owner blankly.

The master means
The adventure team will not disband?
Chen Yuan rubbed the furry dog's head and said with a smile: "Of course we won't disband. Just let me know before you go on an adventure next time."

Chen Yuan is well aware of the principle that it is better to open up than to block. Since the little ones love adventure, let them go.

Anyway, their strength is among the best in this mountain, and they can escape unscathed even if they encounter danger.

Even if we take a step back, if they really encounter deadly danger, their big sister will also attack in time.

Go ahead and have fun, your big sister is your strongest support.

"Ow~"

Cola was overjoyed and suddenly threw Chen Yuan to the ground, licking the latter's cheek with his tongue, and his fluffy tail began to shake at a very fast frequency.

"You guy."

Chen Yuan wiped the saliva off his face and tried to push Coke away to get up.

But how could Chen Yuan push away a second-level powerful, commanding-quality Wind Condensing Hound?

at the same time,

"Dian Dian."

Hearing that the adventure team would not disband, Den Den Flying Cat also breathed a sigh of relief.

As a core member of the adventure team, Diandian Flying Cat specifically told the captured wild pets yesterday that it was the adventure team that rescued them.

If your pet needs help in the future, please find the adventure team through Skylark or Chick Owl.

It won't be long before the adventure team's fame spreads throughout the mountains.

Thinking of this, the corners of Den Den Flying Cat's mouth widened.

After lunch, Chen Yuan was about to take a walk in the village when the phone rang. The name on the phone was Nie Li.

"Advisor Chen."

Unlike her baby-faced appearance, Nie Li's voice is more like that of a queen, with a hint of maturity in it, creating an extremely strong contrast.

"Captain Nie." Chen Yuan replied.

"After an overnight interrogation, we learned the complete information of this poaching team."

"The mastermind, Viper Fang, whose original name was Zhao Qiang, quit his job after awakening to become a beastmaster. He contacted the other three through special means and formed a poaching team."

"They were very cautious in their initial actions and hunted on a small scale, so they remained undetected."

"After reaping the benefits of successfully selling pet animals through middlemen, they began to try poaching on a larger scale."

"This time their target is the Qinling Mountains, which are rich in wild pet resources."

After listening to Nie Li's words, Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked a key question: "Are all poachers so strong?"

Yang Yue and Li Qing are college students after all, and their strength is much better than that of ordinary beast masters. It is surprising that they have such a hard time facing these poachers.
Especially Viper Fang's Bone Crushing War Mastiff, which actually achieved the feat of not being "killed instantly in one hit" by Coke.

"Of course not." Nie Li's tone was mixed with a hint of laughter, which was quickly covered up by his mature voice. "They are exceptions. To be more precise, Viper Fang is an exception."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yuan was puzzled.

"After a detailed investigation, we found that Fuya was a rammed earth beast that we contracted during the construction period. The performance of this pet was mediocre and there was nothing unusual about it."

"More importantly, the Bone Crusher."

"We now suspect that this Bone Crusher War Mastiff was provided to him by the Nova Association, and that it was given certain training resources, which is why his strength has improved so quickly."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "Rising Star Club?"

Nie Li explained simply: "An illegal organization that is not officially recognized, preaching that a new era has arrived and that a brand new social order should be established and the rules of the world should be rewritten."

After a pause, she added: "It's similar to the villain organizations in novels and anime that attempt to change the world. It has a very old-fashioned organizational philosophy and slogan."

Chen Yuan nodded suddenly.

"The New Star Club is currently the target of our investigation department's severe crackdown. Once discovered, they will be arrested immediately."

"But this organization acts cautiously, and every member must pass multiple levels of selection."

"Perhaps they intend to develop Fuya into a formal member, but they didn't expect to meet Consultant Chen." Nie Li slowly told all the information he had at present.

Chen Yuan whispered softly: "Rising Star Club"

"By the way, considering that Consultant Chen has made outstanding contributions in this arrest operation, you will receive a reward of 500 contribution points." Nie Li suddenly spoke.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.

500 contribution points!
This is no small sum.

But if you think about it carefully, solving this incident requires facing three ruthless poachers and a group of powerful second-level pets, which is extremely dangerous.

"In addition, there is also a certificate of honor. We can help contact the association's staff and have them deliver it personally." Nie Li said.

Chen Yuan recalled the last time Zhou Xu sent a plaque and the whole village watched, and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no."

Nie Li said: "Then I'll send it to you."

"please."

"You're welcome, but I need your address."

After hanging up the phone, Nie Li sat in the chair and fell into silence for a long time.

"Captain, what happened?"

Noticing Nie Li's strangeness, the wild boar poked Bai Fen's arm and asked softly.

White Fern covered her mouth and chuckled: "Have you ever chased a star?"

"No." The wild boar shook his head decisively.

"Oh." Bai Fen put his hand on his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he made a wonderful analogy, "It's like when you are playing games and you are matched with your favorite e-sports player."

Shanzhu shook his head again and said seriously: "At my level, I will never meet an e-sports player I like."

White Fern glared at him: "Metaphor, this is a metaphor!"

The boar muttered, "White Fern, as a medical worker, you should be gentler."

"Gentleness is the nurse's job. I just want you to not die in front of me." Bai Fern's words made the wild boar shut up obediently.

White Fern continued: "You win with your favorite e-sports player, you add each other's contact information, play one game after another, and finally find out each other's home address."

The boar rubbed his chin and said, "That sounds good."

"Just good?" Bai Fen was stunned. "He's your favorite e-sports player. Shouldn't you be very excited and think about your conversation with him for a long time like the captain did?"

Shanzhu was also puzzled: "It's true that I like this contestant, but that's all. At most, I'll post it on WeChat Moments to brag about it."

"It won't affect my life anyway."

White Fern curled his lips: "You men are really terrible rational monsters."

The boar chuckled: "You are just following the stereotype. Not all men are rational, and not all women are fanatical fans." "I'm just curious."

"Why did the captain, who is always rational and calm, become like this when facing Advisor Chen?"

Bai Fern replied: "Perhaps it is because of Consultant Chen's own charm."

【Name】：Chen Yuan
【Age】：25
[Level]: Intermediate Beast Tamer

【Association】: Baokun City Beast Tamer Association
【Contribution value】：901
"You can now meet the upgrade conditions for Dian Dian Flying Cat." Seeing the contribution value close to four digits, a smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

After a period of accumulation, plus the contribution points gained from proactively disclosing the special environment of the Flame Mountain, Chen Yuan is now able to purchase the conditions for upgrading the Electric Flying Cat.

When the map is drawn, you can also get a contribution point.

Open the Beast Tamer official website and find the conditions for the advancement of the Electric Flying Cat:
[DianDian Flying Cat Elite——Commander Advancement Conditions]

Chen Yuan clicks on Buy, and an option pops up immediately:

[Are you sure you want to purchase the required 800 contribution points?]

Sure!
[Electric Flying Cat Elite - Commander Advancement Conditions: Level 2 resource Sky Thunder Stone x5, Level resource Electricity Tempering Grass x, any skill mastery level]

"Heavenly Thunder Stone" Chen Yuan muttered.

He remembered the information about the Sky Thunder Stone. This stone could withstand the strike of sky thunder without breaking. It contained pure thunder energy and was of great benefit to thunder pets.

The value of the Sky Thunder Stone is 300 contribution points.

As for the Electric Tempering Grass, Chen Yuan had once exchanged this resource with Zhou Xu to cultivate the Electric Flying Cat, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

With a thought, Chen Yuan summoned the current data panel of the electric flying cat:
[Race: Electric Flying Cat (already collected)
Attribute: Thunder

Level: 11 (Level )

Favorability: 82
技能：电闪(熟练3.9/5）+电微波(熟练3.2/5）+雷光突袭(精通1.4/7）+】

Lightning Attack is the favorite move of Den Den Flying Cat, and it achieved excellent results against the poachers yesterday.

Therefore, although Den Den Flying Cat mastered [Lightning Strike] last, his proficiency in this skill was already far ahead.

This guy, Den Den Flying Cat, has a sunny smile, but his heart is darker than anyone else. He spends the whole day thinking about how to sneak attack his opponents.

"It's time for Dian Dian Flying Cat to advance." Chen Yuan said secretly.

The little guys advanced one after another, and now only Den Den Flying Cat and Bean Chicken are left.

Chicken Doo is just responsible for laying eggs, while Den Den Flying Cat, as a member of the adventure team, needs to become stronger.

Advancement is the most convenient way to become stronger.

After a period of accumulation, Chen Yuan now has a considerable number of source points, which can accelerate the growth of fruit trees.

Walking slowly to the front of the field and looking forward, you can see a small forest gradually taking shape.

Thanks to the hard work of Run Run Duck and the Twin Flower Concubines, these spiritual plants grew rapidly even without the source point acceleration.

Today, there are four mature Lumen fruit trees, one mature Yanyan fruit tree, and one mature Kongming fruit tree in the field.

The remaining twenty or so fruit trees have already sprouted and entered a stage of vigorous growth. Stems and leaves are rapidly emerging, and the trunks are gradually becoming thicker. Some of the trees are even more than ten meters tall.

Chen Yuan occasionally thought about bringing in a few wood-type pets to help the twin flower concubines catalyze their growth.

He is now a consultant for the association. His monthly salary and basic benefits are enough to support several pets. Together with the sale of spiritual plants, he can support a large group of pets.

Anyway, the farm is big, so it won’t be a problem to raise a few more.

"System, add more!"

Chen Yuan walked to a sapling of Kongming fruit tree, and with a thought, he directly invested in the twelve source points.

In a short period of time, the sapling quickly grew into a sturdy tree about twenty meters tall. The little ones were no longer surprised by this shocking sight.

They all came under the tree, staring at the seven golden Kongming fruits.

Chen Yuan pondered: "Leave three in exchange for the advanced resources of the Electric Flying Cat, and divide the rest."

"Den-Den Flying Cat, take them off!"

"Dian Dian!"

The electric flying cat had been waiting for a long time. When it heard Chen Yuan's voice, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew upwards, its eyes full of excitement.

With a little effort, the electric flying cat grabbed a Kongming fruit and threw it down.

As one Kongming fruit after another fell to the ground, the little guys squatted aside, their eyes flashing with excitement.

It’s time for the most anticipated fruit sharing session!
Chen Yuan took out three and put them in the bedroom, then used a fruit knife to cut the remaining Kongming fruits into small pieces and distributed them equally among the little ones.

Chen Yuan did not forget Hanlieniu and asked Runrunya to call it out from the lobby.

The presence of the little chicks was a bit awkward, but fortunately Doudou Chicken was more sensible and never asked for an extra portion.

Tietouwa wanted to defend the gate, so Chen Yuan asked Coke to deliver a few pieces of fruit pulp.

"Yinyin~"

The twin flower concubines slid down Chen Yuan's arm like riding a slide, and trotted to the pieces of fruit flesh.

The other little ones made way to let the twin concubines walk to the front.

"Yan~"

The twin concubines smiled brightly, lifted up their pink skirts, and bowed to greet each little one.

Then, the Twin Flower Concubine ate a small piece of fruit flesh, chewed it carefully, and savored it slowly.

After a long time,

The twin flower concubine opened her eyes, looked down at her body, and then slowly walked towards the saplings.

Chen Yuan looked puzzled: "Hmm?"

The Twin Flower Concubine stopped in front of a Kongming fruit tree sapling and suddenly stretched out her petal-shaped palms. A clear green fluorescence bloomed from her palms and surged towards the sapling like ripples.

As Chen Yuan watched, the sapling clearly grew a little bit upwards.

A very noticeable little section.

Chen Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this: "Did your skill proficiency improve? Or did you achieve a breakthrough?"

He quickly reached out and touched the twin concubines, calling up the data panel:

[Race: Twin Flower Concubines (already collected)
Attribute: wood

Level: 10 (Level )

Favorability: 93
技能：茂盛(精通0.1/7）+甜甜芳香(熟练4.3/5）+芳疗愈瓣（熟练4.7/5）+)
Quality: Command

Conditions for promotion to Morning Star quality: Insufficient source points]

Not only can you break through to the second level, but you can also raise your proficiency in [Luxury] to the mastery level!
"You are making faster and faster progress." Chen Yuan tapped the twin concubines' heads and expressed his heartfelt emotion.

Compared to other little guys who received hard training (except RunRun Duck), the Twin Flower Concubines received almost no training.

In other words, its training method is quite special.

Either use [Lush] to catalyze the growth of spiritual plants every morning, or learn various skills through the video cloud.

What's more, the twin concubines broke through to the second level naturally without any fighting.

Perhaps this is the advantage of being a leader with natural qualities.

Chen Yuan's thoughts moved, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the twin concubines: "How about you help me invite a few wood-type pets to work on the farm."

He waved his hand and said, "Tell them that the farm provides food and shelter, and life is comfortable."

Hearing this, Huohua glanced at Chen Yuan with resentment.

He didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence.
"Yinyin~"

During the day, the pink twin flower concubine is easier to talk to, likes making friends, and agrees directly and readily.

If it were Hei Ye's purple twin flower concubines, Chen Yuan would have to persuade them earnestly for a long time and assure the twin flower concubines that he would not dislike it less because of the addition of a new pet.

Chen Yuan was helpless with this "daughter" who liked to stick to him.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Chen Yuan's mind: When the Twin Flower Concubine's strength becomes stronger and her skill proficiency becomes higher, can it directly catalyze a young bud to maturity like the system?
Theoretically, this is definitely possible.

But the Twin Flower Concubines still have a long way to go to achieve this.

But Chen Yuan is not in a hurry. As an ordinary forest ranger, he has plenty of time to grow up with the little ones.

After eating the Kongming Fruit, Chen Yuan contacted Zhou Xu and asked him to help exchange for the advanced resources for the Diandian Flying Cat.

Just then, Chen Yuan noticed today's headlines: major cities have started to open registration for mounts and pets.

After clicking in and taking a look, Chen Yuan was immediately excited.

According to this news, major cities have built special lanes for riding pets. As long as you obtain a special certificate, you can ride your pet on the road.

Of course, the mountain city of Yu is not included, as the terrain conditions there do not meet the requirements for building a dedicated pet lane.

"It seems I need to get a certificate." Chen Yuan said softly.

When the Falling Horned Beast breaks through to the second level, its endurance and speed will be greatly improved, and it will be no problem for it to run hundreds of kilometers or even farther in one breath.

By then, riding a Falling Horned Beast to the city will be much cooler than driving.

Chen Yuan also noticed one thing: some cities have begun pilot programs to allow pet animals to obtain driver's licenses.

Among them, Qin Province is included.

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at Coke who was resting in front of a tree, grinning: "Coke, do you want a driver's license?"

"Ouch?"

Coke looked puzzled.

"What I mean is, do you want to drive a car legally? Not a tricycle, but my car." Chen Yuan said again.

"Ouch!"

This time Coke understood. His eyes lit up and he rushed towards Chen Yuan, shouting.

"Well, this is a good momentum." Chen Yuan stretched out his hand to stop the Coke that was rushing towards him and nodded slightly, "But are you really ready? Getting a driver's license is not an easy thing."

"Ouch!"

Coke held his head high, showing that he was always ready.

"Very good." Chen Yuan took out his phone, downloaded the driver's license know-how, and handed it to Kele, "The first step to getting a driver's license is to get 90 points."

“This is the easiest step.”

"Ow~"

Coke is so confident that his tail is about to reach the sky.

Just 90 points, easy enough.

After a while,
Coke looked at the conspicuous red number and fell into deep thought.

In the first Subject 10 test, Coke made history by successfully achieving an excellent score of 80 points, only points away from passing.

Chen Yuan said calmly: "If I sprinkle some rice on the test paper, Doudou Chicken will do better than you."

"With your current level, you are still a long way from getting a driver's license."

“Start practicing questions today!”

"Target subject one!"
