Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 179 When Coke Takes the Test
Time always slips away unknowingly, just like the gorgeous but short autumn in the Qinling Mountains, which comes to an end before you know it.

The weather is getting colder and colder. When the cold wind blows, the golden leaves are wrapped in the wind, and autumn is buried on the eve of winter.

Winter comes very early in the Qinling Mountains. Every November, the temperature drops sharply and heavy snow falls.

Chen Yuan gets up later and later. He heard from an expert on the Internet that after entering winter, even if you wake up, you should stay in bed for a while, "hide" for a while, and retain the yang energy.

Chen Yuan agreed with this: That’s great, he is a real expert, we are saved.

Until the sun rose high, Chen Yuan glanced at the date on his mobile phone - October 10th.

He suddenly woke up. Today was the day to go to Fengcheng!
And tomorrow is the day for Coke to take the first subject test.

Chen Yuan quickly got dressed and stood up, then went to the yard - the Wood Spirit Rat family was catalyzing spiritual plants under the guidance of the twin flower concubines.

The wood rat is covered with light green fur like new buds, its abdomen is milky white, and its back is covered with golden leaf-like patterns.

The big, leaf-shaped ears and the round amber pupils are like the finishing touch, making this petite and cute little guy even more lovable.

During the last gathering in the forest, Chen Yuan came up with the idea of luring the Wood Spirit Rats to the farm. He had already thought of a plan - first let the twin concubines build a good relationship with them, and then he would use the killer move of "free food and accommodation" to ensure that the Wood Spirit Rats and their family would be tempted.

As a result, the twin flower concubines just beckoned their fingers, and the wood rat family seemed to be bewitched. They followed the twin flower concubines to the farm and began to work as gardeners diligently.

Chen Yuan had no chance to use his ultimate killer move.

There are four wood spirit rats in this family, two big ones and two small ones, and their strength is all ordinary first-level.

Like most wood-type pets, the Wood Spirit Rat does not have strong strength, and the skills it possesses are almost all healing and control.

[Lush], a skill that most wood-type pets can master, can catalyze plant growth.

[Vine Swing] can summon vines from the ground to wrap around the opponent's lower body, causing a short-term immobilization effect, and has a certain damage ability to large pets.

[Forest Spirit Escape] can blend into the surrounding vegetation and enter stealth mode to avoid being discovered by predators.

However, these three skills could not stop the well-equipped poachers with ferocious pets, so they were easily captured.

But as an excellent farmer, Chen Yuan treated all employees equally. He took out a pile of nuts from his pocket and placed them in front of the Mu Lingshu family: "Here, this is your reward for today."

"Hey~"

The wood mice picked up the nuts without hesitation, then hopped over to a tall camphor tree, used the dense branches and leaves to cover their bodies, and began to eat.

Although they have been on the farm for nearly a week, the wood rat family usually stays in the trees and rarely communicates with the little ones.

They only communicate with the twin flower concubines in the morning and are nowhere to be seen at other times.

But as long as they work diligently and conscientiously, Chen Yuan will not interfere in their lives.

Anyway, the arrival of the Wood Spirit Rat family obviously accelerated the growth of the spiritual plants and also reduced the work pressure of the Twin Flower Concubines.

In just one week, several spiritual plants are about to mature, and several saplings have grown into big trees.

The effect of water-type pets and wood-type pets on spiritual plants is greater than Chen Yuan imagined.

Moreover, the mysterious long-swimming frog would come from time to time to exchange spiritual plants with Runrun Duck. The duck ate several lotus leaves in a row, and the water quality was greatly improved.

Chen Yuan estimated that it wouldn't be long before the water sprayed by the duck could be directly drinkable as pure water.

"Sparks, Coke, get ready to go."

After packing up his things, Chen Yuan called Sparks and Coke.

It is not convenient to bring other little ones when traveling long distances, so besides Sparks and Coke, you can only bring the twin concubines.

According to his schedule, he will arrive in Fengcheng tomorrow, take the first subject test tomorrow, and pick up his younger brother and his group the day after tomorrow.

Yes, the long-awaited Qinling research activity is about to begin.

The timing was just right, so he stayed in Fengcheng to pick up the plane, and then returned to Baokun City together.

Both his younger brother and Jiang Wenning told him that there was a surprise waiting for him, but he had to meet them in person to get it. Chen Yuan was very curious about this.

With my brother's personality, he actually thought of giving me a surprise?
However, since I have been an online friend of Jiang Wenning for such a long time, it is very normal to give each other a gift when we meet for the first time.

While guessing what gifts the two were talking about, he called the little ones to his side and said, "We are going to be away for a few days. During this time, it will be up to you to look after the farm."

"Crack."

Tietouwa has a burning gaze and is always the first to respond.

If you don't take good care of the farm, it will come to you with its head.

RunRun Duck and Diandian Flying Cat looked at each other and saw the excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.

Once the farmer, Big Sister and Coke leave, won't the entire farm be ruled by these two little ones?
The only threat, Tietouwawa, was busy guarding the gate, and the rest, such as the Falling Horned Beast, Wood Spirit Rat, Frosty Ox, and Doudou Chicken, posed no threat to them.

The fruits in the yard and the snacks in the room will all be theirs.

It's time to take charge!
"Dian Dian."

When he thought of the wonderful life in the next few days, Diandian Feimao drooled at the corners of his mouth and laughed foolishly.

"I forgot to tell you that I have installed surveillance cameras in the hidden corners of the courtyard and lobby. I can check the situation 24 hours a day."

"If anyone makes trouble or disobeys, I know everything."

At this moment, Chen Yuan's voice sounded faintly, and RunRun Duck and Diandian Flying Cat's expressions froze at the same time.

It's bad!
The farmer has no moral principles!
Run Run Ya looked around, trying to find the surveillance camera that Chen Yuan mentioned, but found nothing after searching for a long time.

"quack."

RunRun Duck made a decadent cry, its body collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, and its eyes were dull and lifeless.

The beautiful and nourishing life is gone.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving." Chen Yuan waved to the old man and sat in the driver's seat.

As Sparks and Coke grew larger, the passenger seat could no longer accommodate them. Coke had to curl up in the back seat while Sparks hovered high in the air.

The engine hummed, Chen Yuan rolled down the window, waved to the old man and the little ones, and drove away.

Tietouwa was like a silent statue, watching the car gradually disappear, then returning to the farm gate and sticking to his duties.

Run Run Duck and Diandian Flying Cat looked at each other and immediately started a surveillance camera search.

But after turning the farm upside down, the two little ones couldn't find the surveillance camera.

"Dian dian dian!"

The electric flying cat tensed his little face, his cheeks flashing with electricity, and he waved his claws confidently.

The farmer must have installed the surveillance camera in the most insidious place!
But they can't find this most insidious place.

So the two little guys looked at each other with lonely eyes and sighed at the same time.

In fact, Chen Yuan did not install any surveillance devices.

After experiencing the Snow Cloud Wolf attack on the farm, Chen Yuan did have the idea of installing surveillance cameras, but the logistics of the purchased surveillance cameras were slow and they were still circling in other cities. It would take a few days for them to arrive in Xuanhe Village.

I just wanted to scare RunRun Duck and Diandian Flying Cat to prevent the two little guys from causing trouble while I was out.

The car drove along the winding and rugged mountain road and arrived in Baokun City after several hours, and then took the high-speed rail to arrive in Fengcheng in the evening.

Fengcheng is not only the capital of Qin Province, but also the ancient capital of many dynasties. The rich history and modern prosperity are brilliantly intertwined here, making it a popular tourist city.

Once you get here, you can truly be considered to have entered the city.

Moreover, after arriving in Fengcheng, Chen Yuan no longer has to worry about being recognized by fans and can walk around the streets without restraint.

Unlike in Baokun City, when he went out, he would be greeted by excited shouts from all directions: "Advisor Chen, I am your fan!"

As it was getting late, Chen Yuan ate something casually and went back to the hotel to rest.

Friday, January 10th.

clear.

Since this is the first time that pet drivers are required to take a driving test, Qin Province currently has only one test site.

Chen Yuan simply ate a roujiamo and went straight to the test site with a Coke.

"Advisor Chen."

Manager Zhang came forward from afar.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Manager Zhang, thank you for taking the trouble to make this special trip."

"This is the first time for our driving school to have a pet take the driving test. What's more, it's your pet, Consultant Chen. We can never attach too much importance to it." Manager Zhang had just the right smile on his face.

During this week, Coke did not go to Baokun City to practice Subject 2 as he had wished.

Because there are some changes in the test questions for Subject 1 regarding pets, and some pet-related content has been added, Coke must deal with it wholeheartedly.

After passing the first subject, Kela went to the driving school to practice the second subject seriously.

Chen Yuan looked around and saw many people queuing nearby. He was stunned: "Isn't this the special test site for the pet exam?"

Manager Zhang coughed lightly and explained carefully: "Advisor Chen, there are too few pets applying for driver's licenses now, so we are currently adopting a mixed human and pet test model."

"I asked the staff earlier, and Coke was the first pet to take the first test." "In other words, you and Coke are both pioneers."

Come to think of it, most animal tamers nowadays are busy breeding and training their pets, so they don't have the time to let their pets take a driver's license test.

Even if there is, ordinary people would not be bold enough to let their pets drive.

As we all know, we dare not sleep when riding in someone else's car. We can only take a nap when we hold the steering wheel in our own hands.

"Ouch!"

When Coke heard this, he immediately became proud and started wagging his tail.

"Okay, are you ready?"

"I will not be able to accompany you after you enter. You must follow the instructions of the staff."

"You shouldn't be nervous, right?" Chen Yuan looked at Coke.

"Ouch!"

Kele thought to himself that he would not be nervous, so he shouted a few times, but his limbs began to shake uncontrollably.

what happened!
I was even more nervous than when I was participating in an exhibition match!
"That's right. It would be abnormal not to be nervous." Chen Yuan nodded.

He clearly remembered that he was much more nervous when taking the driving test than when taking the college entrance examination.

At this moment, a noise came from not far away:

"Audiences who are familiar with the anchor know that he has an extraordinary IQ and is not a problem with just subject one."

"I only spent an hour doing the questions last night, and I will definitely get full marks today!"

"If you can't even pass the first subject, just post 10 188s in the live broadcast room."

"There are a lot of people participating, and the probability of winning is very low, so everyone is actively participating."

Looking closely, I saw that it was a thin young man with dyed yellow hair, who was talking to the camera of a mobile phone.

Manager Zhang noticed Chen Yuan's gaze and said softly, "Advisor Chen, this is an outdoor anchor on Douyin. He has millions of fans. His name is Lu Hao."

Chen Yuan said softly, then looked away.

He once had the idea of broadcasting a live broadcast of his mountain patrol and forest protection, but this slow-paced live broadcast was doomed to have no program effect, and it would require the support and publicity of the guild, so he simply gave up.

"Candidates from 4001 to 4010 please enter the waiting area." At this time, the staff shouted loudly.

"Cola, it's up to you from now on."

Chen Yuan squatted down and put a pair of decorative round-frame glasses on Coke, adding a touch of scholarly air to him.

"Hold your ID card and don't lose it."

"Remember, you have two chances for subject one. If you fail the first time, you just retake it."

"Don't be nervous. If you don't do well on the test, come back next time. The registration fee is free anyway, so don't feel burdened."

Manager Zhang's mouth twitched slightly.

"Ow~"

Coke nodded, looked at Chen Yuan through the lenses, and gently shook his tail.

Then, Coke ran towards the waiting area in front.

After taking a few steps, Kele subconsciously turned his head and saw his master waving his fist at him. His originally nervous heart suddenly calmed down: "Ahhh!"

For the sake of driving and for the sake of the owner, subject one must be passed!
When Kele walked into the waiting area without hesitation, Lu Hao also waved at his phone: "I will broadcast live after the exam. Brothers, wait for my good news."

After taking back his phone, Lu Hao quickly walked towards the waiting area to wait for his identity information to be verified.

Coke was right in front of him.

Looking at the Wind-Condensing Hound in front of him, Lu Hao took a step forward and tried to get in front of it, muttering in a low voice: "What's wrong with the staff? Don't they care about the queue order?"

"Ouch!"

Kele raised his eyes and looked at Lu Hao, glared at him and let out a warning cry.

No queue cutting!
Startled by the sudden shout, Lu Hao quickly raised his hands and said, "Well, Brother Gou, I have to take an exam. Please make way for me. I'll bring you some sausage next time."

"Ow!"

Coke's eyes were fierce and he refused to give in.

Lu Hao had no choice but to wave his hand and call the staff: "Can you drive this wind hound away? It's disrupting the order of the examination room."

"Ow~"

Coke quickly stepped forward and motioned for the staff to take out the ID tied around his neck.

The staff member picked it up and looked at it, his expression suddenly became strange: "Sir, this is also a candidate."

"What?"

Lu Hao was stunned.

The staff member did not answer, but silently placed Coke's ID on the inspection machine, and then performed a dog face verification on him. The cold machine voice sounded: "Name: Coke, application for subject 1"

Lu Hao was shocked: "Can a dog also take a driver's license test?"

The staff member explained: "This is a new regulation. Pets can also apply for a driver's license."

Lu Hao fell silent, but as a professional anchor, his mind quickly turned, and hundreds of ways to use the Condensing Wind Hound to trap the enemy popped up in his mind in an instant. His expression returned to normal: "Brother Dog, it was my dog eyes that were low. No, it's my human eyes that look down on dogs. Don't mind it."

Kele glanced at Lu Hao, ignored him, and walked into the examination room with a swagger.

Under the guidance of the staff and the strange gazes of many candidates, Coke sat down in front of a computer and officially began to answer the questions.

Multiple choice questions:
1: How should the driver respond when the vehicle ahead suddenly changes lanes and cuts in during the journey?
A: Accelerate immediately to prevent the opponent from changing lanes

B: Immediately use skills to attack the opponent's driver and force him to stop.
C: Slow down and avoid to ensure a safe distance

D: Drive into the other vehicle

Coke rolled his eyes and realized that this was an easy question, so he chose C without hesitation.

2: In the hot summer, if you are driving a fire-type pet and it falls asleep on the steering wheel, causing the temperature inside the car to soar, which of the following is the correct approach?
A: Let your ice pet use its skills to cool down the steering wheel.

B: You can’t sleep while driving

C: Taking cooling medicine from unknown sources
D: Drive the car into the water

This is a very typical trap question, but it is very simple. Coke chooses B without thinking.

3: Which of the following behaviors is considered "pet-friendly illegal parking"?
A: Wind-type pets use airflow to lift the vehicle up and suspend it
B: Buying sausages under a no parking sign
C: Use the stealth skill to hide and avoid being fined

D: None of the above
When Coke was concentrating on doing the questions, Lu Hao walked into the examination room and sat on the seat to his left.

Unlike the pet-specific version of the test that Coke took, Lu Hao took the old version of the test.

Lu Hao sat down, subconsciously glanced at Coke who was answering the questions seriously, his glasses reflecting the light of wisdom, and muttered softly: "The world has really changed. Even dogs can take the driving test."

"I can't lose to a dog."

Rolling up his sleeves, Lu Hao took a deep breath and his eyes became firm. But when he saw the test questions on the computer screen, his brows furrowed, "Oh no, I didn't get to do these questions last night."

Time passed by minute by minute. Lu Hao frowned and racked his brains to think about the test questions. He saw Kele left his seat and jumped to the ground. He was shocked: "Is the test over already?"

"Did you pass the test?"

For a moment, looking at Kele's departing back, Lu Hao's heart was in a mess.

If this wind hound passed the test and I failed, wouldn't that mean he was no match for a dog?
No, no!
This kind of thing must never happen!
Lu Hao exhaled again, calmed himself down, and faced this exam with unprecedented concentration.

After a while,
With an expressionless face, Lu Hao walked out of the examination room holding a failing transcript.

Not only did he fail the exam, he was still some distance away from passing.

On top of that, he failed the retries.

At this moment, I heard a heated discussion:
"Have you heard that a dog passed the first subject test?"

"That's not an ordinary dog, it's a Windhound!"

"It doesn't matter what kind of dog it is. It's still a dog. If the dog passed the test, and the human didn't, then the human would be worse than the dog, hahaha."

"Don't tell me, there really is an idiot who can't pass Subject 1."

"Not even as good as a dog?"

With a livid face, Lu Hao silently clenched the report card in his hand.

"No, just do some practice questions when you get back!"

"I just don't believe it. Even a dog can pass the test, but I can't!"
