Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 186 Incredible Farm Stories

Even after getting on the bus to Xuanhe Village, people continued to ask Chen Yuan questions one after another.

"Teacher Chen, why is your Flame Cloud Falcon so powerful?"

“They work on their own.”

"Teacher Chen, Yanyun Falcon has a high level of proficiency in each skill. Do you have any tricks?"

"Practice more."

"Teacher Chen"

Everyone was very curious about Chen Yuan, except for one person who stood quietly on his chair.

Unlike his previous passionate expression, Lu Ran was now exceptionally quiet. He took out a notebook from his backpack, bit his pencil and wrote a line of words: Chen Yuan (0 wins, loss)
Looking closely, there are similar words written on this page:

Li Tianyun (3 wins and 32 losses)
Zhang Lan (6 wins and 5 losses)
Noticing Lu Ran's actions, Jiang Wenning, who was sitting next to Chen Yuan, couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're on the Death Note."

Chen Yuan was puzzled.

"Once he loses a battle, Lu Ran will record his opponent in his notes and then continue to challenge him until his wins exceed his losses," Jiang Wenning explained.

Chen Yuan had a strange expression on his face: "What a weird behavior."

But Lu Ran’s current strength is actually closely related to his strong desire to win.

It’s okay to fail, just try again.

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. If it doesn’t work twice, try it N times.

Until victory is achieved.

Therefore, an incredible and strange situation arises: facing Lu Ran, winning is more painful than losing.

The bus the scientific research team took may look ordinary, but its interior is luxurious and comfortable, and you can even lay down the chairs to sleep.

But when the bus entered the winding mountain road and the slope became steeper, sleeping was just a luxury.

Professor Song, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened them. The scenery outside the window quickly receded. He suddenly asked, "Wenhao, tell me about today's arrangements."

"Okay, teacher." Chen Wenhao said without hesitation, "After arriving at Xuanhe Village, we will stay at the Beast Tamer Office, purchase at least five days of daily necessities, arrange our own schedule at night, and then set off early tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Professor Song nodded. "Your brother is familiar with the local environment. If you have any questions, ask him."

Professor Song is old and not as energetic as before. Although he is the overall person in charge of this research operation, he asked Chen Wenhao to help plan and execute most of the affairs, while he focused on the research after entering the mysterious forest.

"Good teacher."

Chen Wenhao opened the window, and the biting winter wind whistled against the window, violently broke into the car, and hit his cheek.

Having not been home for a long time, he was no less excited about Qinling Mountains than other students.

In addition to the freshness, there is also a strong sense of anticipation.

Chen Yuan asked: "Where is your contracted pet?"

Chen Wenhao had already become a beastmaster, but he had never taken the initiative to talk about his contracted pet. Every time he asked, he was always vague.

Hearing this question, Chen Wenhao coughed lightly, his eyes wandering: "It's sick."

Perhaps he felt that his behavior was too strange, so his tone became firm: "Yes, I'm sick and I'm resting in the pet space!"

Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and three words popped out of his mouth: "Tell the truth."

The intimidation from his brother and the suppression of his bloodline immediately made Chen Wenhao silent.

After a while, he scratched his sparse hair, his eyes behind the silver glasses flashing with helplessness, and he sighed slightly: "Okay, okay, actually I don't have a contracted pet at all."

"Why?" Chen Yuan wondered.

"Because having you as a beastmaster is enough for our family." Chen Wenhao lowered his eyes and stared at his jeans without blinking.

"to be honest."

"Well, because I have studied it carefully, the cost-effectiveness of me becoming a beastmaster is too low."

“Value for money?”

"Yes, breeding and training pets requires a large amount of money. This expense is continuous and it is difficult to recover the cost in a short period of time."

"I remember that the students in the academy had support."

“There is support, but it can only guarantee the lower limit, not raise the upper limit.”

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Your talent as a beastmaster is very high and should not be buried."

Chen Wenhao bared his big white teeth and smiled brightly: "But I prefer scientific research."

"Aren't you afraid that all your hair will be lost?" Chen Yuan glanced at Chen Wenhao's precarious hairline.

Chen Wenhao replied: "It doesn't matter if I'm bald, it just saves me time to take care of it."

Chen Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Chen Wenhao comforted Chen Yuan instead: "It's okay, brother. I have already thought about these things seriously."

"Human energy is limited. If I choose to become a beastmaster, I will definitely not be able to focus on scientific research."

"Besides, becoming a beastmaster has put too much pressure on my family. I'm an adult now, and I don't want to continue asking my family for money."

"It's better to do scientific research. At most you'll have to stay up late and lose some hair, but there's no other cost."

After listening to this silently, Professor Song took off his glasses, took out a glasses cloth from his pocket and wiped them carefully.

Chen Yuan patted Chen Wenhao on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You are more mature than I thought."

Chen Wenhao smiled slightly: "But I regret it now. If I had known that you are so powerful, I would have become a beastmaster too."

"Brother, how about you help me contract a pet?"

Chen Yuan laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Don't mention one, ten will do."

The dusk is like a spoonful of warm honey, slowly pouring on the green tiles of Xuanhe Village.

The crooked old locust tree at the entrance of the village was the first to be covered with golden gauze. The Paw Patrol, returning from patrolling the village, circled around the old locust tree and continued to trot in neat, minute steps.

Fine dust rose on the dirt road on the other side. Beastmasters dressed as adventurers returned one after another, and the silhouettes of their pets were looming in the fine dust.

The men on the construction site walked past the village entrance, stepping on each other's long shadows, muttering mixed jokes, with mud on their trouser legs.

As dusk deepened, Chen Yuan and his party arrived at Xuanhe Village.

"Reached?"

"We're here. This is Xuanhe Village."

Jiang Wenning took out his cell phone and took pictures of the scene one by one with a clicking sound.

Without any photo editing, she posted it directly to the group chat and added an emoticon of a grinning kitten.

Li Junyue replied with three thumbs up, and Jiang Wenning couldn't help but mutter, "Boring middle-aged man."

Chang Yuhuan: "Wow, it's so beautiful, it's so beautifully shot, so artistic, you should be a photographer!"

Jiang Wenning's eyebrows were curved, and her heart was happy because of the full emotional value that Chang Yuhuan gave her.

But unfortunately, many male compatriots do not understand how to provide enough emotional value to girls, which often causes conflicts and contradictions between boyfriends and girlfriends.

Chen Yuan released Sparks and Coke from the pet space: "Go and play by yourselves."

The two little guys are getting bigger and bigger, making it inconvenient for them to move around in public places, so they have been confined to the pet space these days.

Chen Yuan occasionally wondered if there was a skill that could change his body size at will.

Then I can go back to the time when I had Sparks on my shoulders and a Coke in my arms.

Seeing the majestic wind hound, Lu Ran's eyes lit up and he subconsciously said, "Mr. Chen Gu, let's fight!"

Chen Yuan glanced at him and said, "Wait until the next event is over."

Facing the serious-looking Chen Yuan, Lu Ran, who had always been fearless, always had a sense of déjà vu as if he was facing the dean of studies, and his full fighting spirit instantly dissipated.

"Ow~"

Coke flicked his tail, sniffed the scent of the Paw Patrol, and went straight to find them.

"Chirp~"

The sparks spread their wings and flew high, soaring freely under the twilight sky.

It had been suffocated in the city for a long time and was finally able to fly into the sky without restraint.

Walking into Xuanhe Village, the clean and tidy streets give you a very good first impression.

This doesn't look like a village in a remote mountainous area, but rather like a developed village in the coastal area.

Moreover, the scale of this village is obviously very large, with houses lined up one after another and the streets full of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. It does not look like a remote rural area at all.

Professor Song sighed in a low voice: "The new era has given this place new life."

"Consultant Chen!"

From a distance, Zhao San saw Chen Yuan, the most conspicuous person in the crowd. He waved his hand, then put some fresh fruits into a bag, picked up the bag and walked quickly towards him.

Chen Yuan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no."

"Advisor Chen, you have to accept it!"

After refusing for a long time, Zhao San saw that Chen Yuan was determined not to accept it, so he put the bag in front of the latter, then turned and ran away.

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and had to share the fruit with others.

Lu Ran took a bite without hesitation, and the rich juice filled his mouth. He gave a thumbs up and said, "It tastes good."

Chen Wenhao asked: "Brother, what's going on?"

Chen Yuan explained: "I saved his life some time ago, and every time he passed by here, he would send me some fruits."

After a pause, he added: "It's not really saving lives, it's just solving a problem."

Professor Song smiled and said, "Don't worry about the process, as long as the result is good."

As he walked forward, villagers kept waving to Chen Yuan, and vendors with obvious foreign accents called out "Consultant Chen".

Professor Song said with emotion: "Everyone is proud that this village can produce such an outstanding talent like you."

Chen Yuan did not comment.

In fact, it is because the little ones often come to the street with their pocket money to buy things, which directly drives economic development and improves the favorability of vendors.

A few steps forward, Song Guohao came hurriedly with Zhang Hao and Shao Yang and took everyone into the office.

Since tonight was a free night, the students agreed to take a walk in the village, and Chen Wenhao invited Professor Song and his junior fellow student Zhang Yu to his home.

Chen Yuan invited Jiang Wenning.

After learning that the research team would stay in Xuanhe Village for one night, the old man had already issued an order: to invite everyone to visit his home.

Chen Yuan and Chen Wenhao were not familiar with the others and only extended the invitation out of courtesy, which was not unexpectedly declined.

There were only three guests left: Professor Song, Jiang Wenning and Zhang Yu.

"Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be a farmer." After learning that Chen Wenhao's family had a farm, Zhang Yu, who grew up in the city, was very excited.

Chen Wenhao shook his head: "How can you be considered a farmer if you just grow some vegetables and fruits to make a living?"

Zhang Yu said: "Brother, I heard that some farms are trying to grow spiritual plants. Your farm has such good geographical conditions, you can also give it a try."

Chen Wenhao turned his head to look at Chen Yuan, who smiled slightly: "I'm trying."

Zhang Yu continued, "Brother, I will introduce you to a friend who studies spiritual plants. He is very capable and has already nurtured a second-level spiritual plant to maturity."

"Oh, that's very good." Chen Wenhao nodded.

Being able to nurture a second-level spiritual plant to maturity, he is already qualified to apply for outstanding student status in the research department.

If you grow a few more plants to maturity, it will be easy to become an outstanding student, and you will be snapped up by many companies after graduation.

Research talents are, to some extent, more valuable than powerful beastmasters.

"But after raising spiritual plants, they will inevitably be disturbed by wild pets. At that time, I will have to raise a few pets to guard the house."

"It doesn't need to be very strong, as long as it can serve as a warning." Zhang Yu talked eloquently and seemed to be very knowledgeable about this aspect.

Professor Song laughed and scolded, "You kid, I usually ask you to read more information about pets, you are not reading about spiritual plants, are you?"

Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly: "Teacher, take a look occasionally."

Professor Song turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan: "But what he said makes sense. With the development of the times, the living space of ordinary cash crops is bound to be squeezed."

"Planting spiritual plants is an inevitable trend."

"So it is necessary to keep a few pets to guard the house."

Chen Yuan smiled and replied, "Professor Song, there are indeed a few pets on the farm that guard the house."

Professor Song nodded slightly, but did not continue the topic: "Advisor Chen, I heard that you are also a scholar who studies advanced methods."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "I can't say I'm a scholar. I just like to study these things in my spare time."

Professor Song was silent at first, then he sighed: "Yes, it's just research in your spare time, but your results make countless scholars who specialize in research feel ashamed."

"You, like your brother, are born to do scientific research."

"Counselor Chen, are you interested in becoming a teacher at our college?"

Chen Yuan was stunned.

This was not the way the plot had turned out as he had imagined.

In his imagination, Professor Song would definitely be curious about how he researched these advanced conditions, but his reaction was exactly the same as Zhou Xu at the time, and he was not curious about it.

On second thought, the research method must be everyone's secret, and it would be too presumptuous to ask directly.

But Chen Yuan didn't expect that Professor Song would invite him to be a teacher at the headquarters of Donghuang Beast Taming Academy.

He shook his head and declined: "Professor Song, thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of leaving here."

Professor Song persuaded him, "Advisor Chen, you have an intuition and sensitivity beyond the ordinary in this regard, so your success rate in researching advanced conditions will be much higher than others." "As long as you come to the academy to study in depth, and with our resource support, you will definitely research more advanced conditions."

"In time, there will be a place for you in academia."

Chen Yuan pointed at Chen Wenhao and said with a smile: "Professor Song, it is enough for our family to have one research scholar."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was determined, Professor Song stopped trying to persuade him. He just stamped his feet and sighed, "Hey, what a great talent."

The crowd continued walking towards the farm under the setting sun.

"Brother, there are so many skylarks up here." The sharp-eyed Zhang Yu noticed something wrong and looked up, and saw the eaves nearby were full of skylarks.

Their standing posture is very standard, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, with their gray-black feathers gathered in front of their chests, as if they were holding a pair of small hands.

A pair of eyes were looking at them from top to bottom.

Zhang Yu's voice gradually became quieter: "Brother, the skylarks are irritable and have a strong sense of territory. They usually don't appear in places where human activities are frequent."

"There are so many skylarks gathered here. Did something happen?"

What Zhang Yu said made sense, and Professor Song and Chen Wenhao's faces instantly turned serious.

They knew the pet, Skylark, very well.

Since the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, there have been many cases of violent skylarks attacking humans. One of the incidents was as follows:
A child in a certain village provoked a skylark, which took revenge with its tribe, pecking at everyone in the village mercilessly and trapping them in their homes for a whole day and night.

Once the pet population is involved, it must be given great attention.

Facing the serious gazes of the three people, Chen Yuan waved his hand: "It's okay, they are here to work."

"Work?" The three were stunned.

Chen Yuan explained with a smile: "This involves another matter. Anyway, this group of skylarks came to us for food and served as the village's air patrol team and guide for the beastmasters."

Air Patrol?
Beastmaster guide?
The three people's expressions became more and more confused. Chen Yuan said helplessly: "Then I'll make it short."

Arriving at the farm gate, Chen Yuan finally explained the origin of this group of skylarks.

Professor Song clapped his hands and laughed: "Great, not only has it solved the food crisis of the Tyrannosaurus tribe, but it has also allowed them to integrate harmoniously into human life."

"Advisor Chen, you really should conduct in-depth research on the social relationship between humans and pets."

"Why don't you stop being a beastmaster and come to our academy. You can choose any research direction you want."

Chen Yuan turned a deaf ear and called everyone to go into the farm.

"Crack~"

Tietouwa stepped out of the shadows, his semicircular eyes looking straight ahead, his gaze falling on the four people beside Chen Yuan one by one, especially glancing at the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat who was sleeping lightly on Jiang Wenning's shoulder, and quickly entered their identity information into the security system.

"Meow"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat, who was in a light sleep, startled and suddenly opened his eyes, meeting a pair of sharp gazes.

"Meow!"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat's body was tense, its silver hair stood on end, and it exuded a chill.

Jiang Wenning comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, we are all friends."

After saying that, Jiang Wenning looked at Tietouwa with a look of surprise and doubt.

What strength does this steel-headed gopher from Orange's family have that can make Nuomi feel threatened?
Chen Yuan said: "Steel-headed gopher, help guard the gate."

The expressionless Tietouwa moved aside to make way.

"Is this... the steel-headed gopher used for advanced experiments?" Professor Song suddenly became interested. He walked quickly to the front of the iron-headed baby and looked at it with great interest.

"click"

Tietouwa retreated silently.

Professor Song hurried forward.

Tietouwa retreated again.

Professor Song stepped forward again.

Chen Wenhao and Zhang Yu looked at each other, and pulled Professor Song up from the left and right: "Teacher, go in first, and we will study again later."

"Okay, okay." Professor Song responded, but his eyes remained on Tietouwa. The orange eyes with a cold metallic light, the shallow steel spikes on the back, and the body with a metallic texture made Professor Song feel fatally attracted.

The two worked together and finally pulled Professor Song away.

"Dian Dian!"

The flying cat, Dian Dian, who was sleeping soundly in the cabin, suddenly smelled an unfamiliar cat scent. He immediately raised his head, twitched his nose, and sniffed hard.

The next moment, it let out an excited and excited cry: "Dian Dian!"

Pushing open the wooden door, Dian Dian Flying Cat was about to fly in the direction of the smell, but suddenly remembered something, flew back to the fish pond, and pulled up Run Run Duck lying on a big rock.

"quack!"

Runrun Duck pushed aside the two lotus leaves that were blocking her eyes, put her hands on her hips and called out to Diandian Flying Cat.

Can't you see I'm sleeping?
"Dian Dian!"

The electric flying cat looked anxious and kept waving its claws.

happiness!
My happiness appeared!
"Huh?"

RunRun Duck scratched her buttocks, showing no interest in the happiness of Diandian Flying Cat. She picked up the lotus leaf on the ground and prepared to lie down again.

"Dian Dian!"

The electric flying cat gritted its teeth and stretched out a claw.

A magical fish!
"Quack~"

RunRun Duck rolled its eyes, put the lotus leaf on its face at the slowest speed, and waved its wings at the DianDian Flying Cat.

Duck, I just want to sleep.

"Dian Dian!"

Diandian Flying Cat made up his mind and raised his two paws.

Two spirit fish!
“Quack, quack!”

Runrun's eyes sparkled. He threw the lotus leaf away casually and patted his chest repeatedly.

The happiness of Dian Dian Flying Cat is my happiness!
As we all know, Diandian Feimao used to have a dream, which was to end his wandering life.

Since coming to the farm, its life has been fulfilling and its dream has come true.

So Diandian Flying Cat had another dream: to find his own happiness.

At this moment, happiness came, and Diandian Flying Cat decided to take the initiative.

Chen Yuan and his companions walked into the farm and happened to meet the Doudou chicken strolling with its chicks.

"Cuckoo~"

The loud call and soft hair of the Doudou chicken attracted Professor Song's attention. He squatted down, looked at it carefully, and then asked in surprise: "Elite quality Doudou chicken?"

Chen Yuan nodded.

Professor Song's face showed great interest.

Doudou Chicken is born in an ordinary grade with low strength. The only attack skill it possesses is [Doudou Impact]. Compared with other pets, it has no competitiveness.

No one would choose to breed and train a chicken, and no one would spend a lot of resources to make it advance.

But on this farm, an elite quality chickpea chicken emerged.

Zhang Yu smacked his lips and said, “Brother, your brother is so extravagant.”

Chen Wenhao actually had the same idea, but he was his brother after all, so he could only help explain: "My brother has his own ideas."

Chen Yuan said seriously: "The eggs laid by elite quality Doudou chickens are more delicious."

"Professor, try it later."

"I'm looking forward to it." Professor Song nodded solemnly with the serious idea of academic research.

Jiang Wenning took out his cell phone, ready to take a picture of these cute little chicks, but the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat on his shoulder raised its head, its two-color eyes flickering.

"Diandian~"

Diandian Flying Cat appeared in front of Jiang Wenning with Runrun Duck.

As soon as it saw the slender ice crystal phantom cat, the electric flying cat's heart began to pound. The light shining in its eyes was brighter than when it saw the spiritual plant, and the electric sacs on its cheeks flashed with crackling electricity due to excitement.

Zizzi~
"Dian Dian!"

Diandian Flying Cat quickly winked at Runrun Duck, asking it to help distract the humans in front, while he concentrated on dealing with the silver cat that exuded an alluring cat scent.

"Quack~"

For the sake of the two spirit fishes, Run Run Duck decided to risk it all.

It swaggered up to Jiang Wenning, grabbed her sleeve with its wings, and tried to drag her away.

“What a cute Runrun duck!”

Jiang Wenning looked down at Runrun Ya, her beautiful eyes shining brightly, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the smooth hair on the latter's head.

"Gah!!!"

The moment its hair was touched, RunRun Duck had already forgotten the promise of the two spirit fishes. It took a few steps back, first used its wings to tidy up its hair which was not actually messy, and then glared at Jiang Wenning.

Don't touch my hair!!!
"Meow!"

Seeing RunRun Duck's unfriendly expression, the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat's eyes changed slightly, and it jumped lightly to the ground. The moment its tail shook gently, a chill rolled around its body.

"quack!"

Run Run Duck became even angrier, three five-pointed star symbols appeared on its forehead, and the moment it opened its mouth, water waves surged out of its mouth.

"Dian Dian!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Diandian Flying Cat stood up and stood between the two little guys, waving his claws desperately.

Don't fight!
"Dian Dian!"

The electric flying cat first looked at Runrun Duck and blinked continuously.

Yaya, don't you hate fighting?
While blinking, he raised his two paws, trying to use the two spirit fish to resolve the dispute.

But when Diandian Flying Cat saw Runrun Duck with a tense face, he felt something was wrong and raised his tail.

Three spirit fish!
"Gah!"

RunRun Duck turned his head away angrily, and the water waves in his mouth dissipated.

"Diandian~"

Seeing RunRun Duck stop, Diandian Flying Cat turned his head to look at the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat, and kept gesturing with his claws.

Duck Duck didn't mean it!
Yaya hates others touching her hair the most!
"Meow"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat lowered its body, and the coldness did not dissipate because of the Electric Flying Cat's explanation.

Jiang Wenning picked up the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat, and the cold air instantly dissipated. The latter raised its head and gave him a puzzled look: "Meow?"

"I was too presumptuous. I'm sorry, Runrun Duck." Jiang Wen stared at Runrun Duck, his smile as bright and moving as the morning sunshine in the Qinling Mountains, shining into Runrun Duck's eyes.

warm.

"quack."

Runrun Duck looked back, snorted softly, and waved its wings generously.

Okay, okay, Duck, I forgive you!
Seeing that a fight was successfully stopped by him, Diandian Flying Cat wiped the sweat from his forehead with his claws and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, it took out a treasured apple from somewhere and handed it to the Ice Crystal Cat with full expectation.

"Meow~"

The Ice Crystal Phantom Cat looked down from above, glanced at Apple lightly and then looked away. His eyes jumped over the stiff-expressioned Electric Flying Cat and fell on Runrun Duck, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Then, the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat jumped out from Jiang Wenning's arms, walked gracefully and slowly, and came to Run Run Duck: "Meow?"

Can you show me around here?
"Quack~"

RunRun Duck patted his chest.

Wrap it in Duck!
So, Diandian Flying Cat watched helplessly as Runrun Duck and the Ice Crystal Phantom Cat walked farther and farther away. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on them, dragging their shadows very far away.

The electric flying cat collapsed to the ground helplessly.

Jiang Wenning looked puzzled: "What happened to it?"

Chen Yuan showed a meaningful smile: "Because he couldn't get the love he wanted, Dian Dian Fei Mao was heartbroken."

What’s even more heartbreaking is that the cat I loved ran away with RunRun Duck.

Professor Song stared at the collapsed electric flying cat, frowned slightly, and suddenly asked: "Advisor Chen, is this electric flying cat also of commander quality?"

Chen Yuan sincerely praised: "The professor has a good eye."

The day before heading to Fengcheng, Diandian Flying Cat had successfully advanced, and its appearance had changed slightly.

It is this change that allows Professor Song to successfully judge its quality.

"You..." Even the knowledgeable Professor Song was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to react.

The Steelhead Gopher guarding the gate is of leader quality, the Runrun Duck that just left is of leader quality, this electric flying cat is of leader quality, and even the pea chicken that lays eggs is of elite quality.

Is this really a farm?
This is clearly a pet breeding base!
However, at this moment, Zhang Yu's exclamation interrupted Professor Song's thoughts: "Flaming fruit tree!"

"Lumen fruit tree!"

“There is also a Kongming fruit tree!”
