Eternal Beast Taming Family

As dawn broke, Chen Zhengchang hurriedly went out, first heading to the foot of the mountain to check on the expanded fields.

The rice seedlings, barely an inch long, swayed gently in the field, looking both fragile and resilient.

Chen Zhengchang squatted down and carefully examined the survival status of several plants to make a clear understanding before walking along the field, finally stopping in the middle of the vast field.

Then a mark was made at this spot, indicating that it was a good location to build some dwellings.

As the sun gradually rose, casting its scorching rays, Chen Zhengchang left the foothills and headed further down the mountain.

At the animal training ground by the lake, Chen Zhengchang finally arrived at his destination. From afar, he saw Lin Zixu talking to a row of boys and girls standing in front of him.

Only after getting closer did I hear the specifics.

"Today, you will each form a group of twenty and be led by them to patrol the territory of our animal training grounds. I don't expect you to be able to memorize it so quickly."

But you need to familiarize yourself with your future work environment and know what your main job will be. Okay, now you can split into groups and set off.

Such a large animal training ground would naturally not be managed by Lin Zixu alone. There were more than a dozen of Lin Zixu's subordinates working there before, so now they can each take a few people and go to get used to it first.

Seeing that Lin Zixu had finished making the arrangements, Chen Zhengchang immediately stepped forward.

"Forest owner, is everything arranged?"

Lin Zixu nodded. "More or less. After all, they are some children with rather unusual personalities, so everything needs to be taken slowly. Minister Chen, is there something important that you're here at this time?"

"Haha, I did come here because I have something I'd like to trouble you with, Master Lin."

Chen Zhengchang smiled sheepishly and said, "I was just thinking that the children have just arrived, and I wanted to ask if you have any gentle source beasts here, the kind that can get along with them even without a contract."

Lin Zixu raised an eyebrow. "Minister Chen, they've only just arrived, and you're already thinking about the Origin Beasts for them?"

Chen Zhengchang smiled and said, "Isn't this to help them get to know this place better? Besides, I think they generally have some awe towards the source beasts. We use source beasts in many places here, so this kind of attitude won't work."

Therefore, living with the Source Beasts beforehand and spending more time with them will naturally reduce their fear.

"Minister Chen's intentions are commendable, but all the source beasts here are registered. Losing one or two occasionally is one thing, but to rashly hand over more than a hundred to you..."

If those children are not cared for properly and several are lost, the head of the family will have a hard time passing our animal training ground's assessment.

Chen Zhengchang secretly curled his lip. Most source beasts are tenacious and hardy. How could they be easily killed by ordinary children?

It's clear that this young man doesn't want to cause any further trouble at the animal training grounds.

Chen Zhengchang pondered for a moment, then spoke, "I see that this beast taming ground has a large number of source beasts, and the types of source beasts are also very diverse, but the spiritual food used to cultivate these source beasts seems to be in short supply."

"If the forestry owner is willing to help me this time, the spirit fields that are subsequently cultivated will definitely be prioritized for planting the resources your farm's beasts need, is that alright?"

As soon as Chen Zhengchang finished speaking, Lin Zixu's body stiffened. Chen Zhengchang was right; under his care, the number of source beasts in the beast taming ground was increasing rapidly.

The original share of source beast spirit food was naturally not enough, which greatly slowed down the development of the beast taming farm. If what Chen Zhengchang said was true, then it wouldn't be unreasonable to let him take some of the source beasts with him.

Moreover, he can't just neglect to take good care of the source beasts he took away. The Ministry of Agriculture has no shortage of spiritual food for cultivating source beasts, and the cost of cultivating them will still be attributed to their animal training farm.

After thinking it through, Lin Zixu scratched his chin. "Minister Chen is right. As departments, we should help each other. Our Beast Taming Farm will naturally give its full support to Minister Chen's requests. I do have a few gentle source beasts here."

There are Rainbow Jellyfish, Green Leaf Snake, Giant Horned Deer, and Yellow Oxen—all rather docile source beasts. Considering your Ministry of Agriculture, Yellow Oxen and Giant Horned Deer are the most suitable.

Chen Zhengchang naturally knew the "Yellow Cattle Herding" very well, as it was a source animal that almost everyone in their Ministry of Agriculture owned.

The "Giant Horned Deer," however, seems to be a relatively new type of source beast, one that I have never heard of before.

"Let's do as the forest owner says, and bring sixty giant deer and sixty yellow cattle each."

More than a hundred source beasts, and both of them are extremely large, which can save their beast taming farm a lot of food.

Half an hour later, Chen Zhengchang led the two largest "Yellow Oxen" and "Giant Deer" towards the foot of the mountain.

The two types of source beasts behind them split into two lines, slowly following behind, and the whole procession stretched out for quite a distance.

……

one year later.

The mountains where the Chu family lived had fewer tall trees, but the foothills were covered with all kinds of spiritual plants.

Some of the spiritual plants were tall, laden with all sorts of fruits; others were source beasts of the spiritual plant type, obediently cooperating with the farmers working nearby.

They hand over some of their resource-based products in exchange for resources that are extremely important for their own growth.

After collecting the resources, these 'farmers,' who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, would ride on the backs of 'giant antler deer' or 'yellow oxen' towards the next farmland.

If they run into someone they know, they'll smile and nod to each other.

Compared to when they first arrived a year ago, they have undoubtedly become more confident. Now, even when they encounter passing source beasts, they no longer have that humility that comes from their very bones.

In just one year, they had fully accepted this completely different cultural form.

It's relatively easy to go from 'frugality' to 'luxury'.

Two lively-looking boys rode on the backs of the "Giant Horned Deer," chatting as they walked towards the spirit fruit forest ahead.

"Brother Xunyu, you'll get your salary for this month tonight. What are you planning to do with it?"

The other boy next to him, who looked slightly older, touched the "giant antler deer" beneath him with his fingers and said with a smile:

"With this month's salary and some additional loans, I should be able to buy the contract for the Giant Antler Deer."

"Huh?" The boy next to him was a little surprised. "Brother Xun Yu, you haven't spent any of your salary this year? The contract fee for this giant antler deer is quite high."

"Living here, you don't need to spend any money. You don't have to pay for food or accommodation, and you even get free work clothes."

But you, it seems like you spend all your money on food.

Hearing Xun Yu's words, the young boy looked somewhat embarrassed. The "giant horned deer" beneath him seemed to be dissatisfied with his behavior of only caring about his own appetite, and deliberately jolted a few times.

The young boy immediately bent down and gently stroked the neck of the "Giant Horned Deer" with his palm. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'll save up money right away to buy your contract qualification, okay?"

As he said this, the young boy's face was somewhat bitter; the delicious food and spiritual fruits he loved were about to leave him.

After calming the giant antler deer beneath him, the young boy seemed to remember something. "I wonder how things are back in the tribe. After being away for so long, I really do miss my grandma and the others."
