Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 208 Consultant Chen must have his reasons for doing this
"Advisor Chen, you said it very well."

Amidst thunderous applause, the school leaders shook hands with Chen Yuan.

"You're too kind." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

He knew very well that his attainments in cultivation and training were not outstanding, and that what he said was definitely unoriginal and lacked substance, but he couldn't possibly say in front of so many people "You can do it even if you have cheats."

I decided to take a different approach and talk about an area that other beastmasters rarely touch upon—the relationship between beastmasters and their pets.

Compared to other beastmasters who only need to deal with the relationships of one or two pets, Chen Yuan has to coordinate and handle the relationships of an entire farm of pets, and he has quite a bit of experience in this regard.

Each pet is of a different race, has a different personality, and has different responsibilities on the farm. How to make them live in harmony, how to let them give full play to their subjective initiative, and work hard to train and improve themselves while protecting the farm is a profound science.

Just as Chen Yuan said at the end, treat pets as family members, face up to their shortcomings, and move forward together.

After politely declining the dinner invitation from the school leaders, Chen Yuan broke free from the encirclement of a group of students and finally walked out of the school.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed deeply: "The students are too enthusiastic. I have to avoid them as much as possible in the future."

"Ow~"

Coke doesn't think so.

Along the way, students would come to feed him food from time to time, which made Coke feel that school was a really good place.

The cats and dogs living there are so happy.

After a casual stroll around the campus, Chen Yuan soon saw a red-flamed tabby cat lying under a tree, lying on its side, exposing its soft belly, allowing the female college students to touch it.

When it is hungry, it will open its mouth and wait for the female students to put food into its mouth.

What a decadent life. No wonder I don't want to hang out with those stray cats.

"Let's go. See you next time." Chen Yuan greeted the red-flamed cat.

"Meow~"

The red-flamed cat didn't even raise its head, but just narrowed its eyes and waved its claws at Chen Yuan.

It was already evening when we left school. The sky was gradually getting darker and the commercial streets were lit up with colorful lights, which were reflected in the eyes of groups of students.

Chen Yuan planned to have dinner outside the school.

As everyone knows, the commercial street outside the school gathers all kinds of delicacies from all over the world. Chen Yuan took the naive Coke to experience them.

"Ouch!"

Coke wandered in front of each vendor. The tempting aroma wafting from the shops made it wag its tail and follow the fragrance. The occasional appearance of chicken legs and sausages would make Coke stop and then look at Chen Yuan eagerly.

Chen Yuan knew that he could not refuse Coke's request.

Eat, eat. It’s good for children to eat more.

Fortunately, there are enthusiastic college students, so Chen Yuan often doesn't need to pay. The college students next to him will rush to pay and take the opportunity to take photos with Coke.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to transfer the money back to these enthusiastic college students.

"Ouch!"

Coke's belly was slightly bulging, and the happiness in his eyes was about to jump out.

“Oh my god, my takeaway!!!”

Suddenly, a voice filled with grief and indignation resounded throughout the commercial street, attracting countless eyes.

Chen Yuan turned his head and saw a typical junior or senior boy wearing glasses, messy hair and slippers standing there blankly. A petite figure rushed out from beside him.

It was a kitten, holding a takeaway in its mouth. It was very agile and ran around among the bustling crowd, causing a burst of exclamations before quickly disappearing.

The senior student with glasses stared at the kitten's departing figure, his face full of decadence, and said in despair: "That's the double fried rice I specially added eggs and sausages to."

"give me back"

However, the kitten had already disappeared, and only the voices of sympathy continued to ring out.

"Ah, another unlucky guy."

"These stray cats have been running rampant lately. My takeaway food was stolen the day before yesterday."

"Hiss, this isn't stealing, this is outright robbery!"

"We college students are the only ones who are easy to bully, right? Anyone can bully us!"

The students nearby saw Chen Yuan's curious expression and explained in unison: "Advisor Chen, these are the stray cats from earlier. They have been too rampant recently, relying on their agility to snatch takeout food everywhere."

"We need to ask the pet training center to come and treat them!"

"The Cat Lovers Association is furious!"

Chen Yuan pursed his lips. Originally, he wanted to let Coke chase the stray cat, but the commercial street was crowded with people, and Coke would inevitably bump into passers-by when rushing forward, which would be counterproductive.

So he followed everyone else and looked sympathetically at the unfortunate college student.

After this little episode, Chen Yuan continued to look for a place to eat, but saw two familiar figures.

In a shop,

"The fried rice outside the school is still delicious. The fried rice in other places doesn't taste that good." Shanzhu was devouring the fried rice on the table with a satisfied smile on his face.

It is such a blessing to be able to eat a bowl of steaming fried rice in your spare time during busy work.

Compared to the Qinling Mountains, this place is simply a paradise.

"Eat quickly, you still have to work after that." Bai Fen was sitting aside with her legs crossed. She was wearing light makeup and was typing on the screen of her mobile phone.

"Captain, did you get anything?" The wild boar suddenly looked up and asked when he saw that there was no one around.

Bai Fern shook his head. "The captain found the parents of the missing children, but couldn't get any useful clues. Now they're going to the crime scene from yesterday."

The wild boar said in a muffled voice: "Did no one see the pet?"

Bai Fen glanced at them and said calmly, "They are just ordinary people. How can you count on them?"

"That's right." The boar had rice in his mouth and spoke in a somewhat unclear voice, "This suspect came and went without a trace. He must be a very powerful pet."

Bai Fern fiddled with his newly painted nails and spoke slowly: "The captain said that this suspect is either a wind-type pet with a speed-increasing skill, or a dark-type pet with a skill to conceal its shape."

"These two kinds of pets are hard to find." The wild boar put down his chopsticks and sighed slightly.

"We have to find it even if it's difficult. Captain Luo has issued a military order. The case must be solved within two days." Bai Jue slightly opened his red lips and lowered his voice.

The wild boar touched his belly and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a tissue: "Let's look for them. I hope those poor kids are okay."

Just as he stood up, Shan Zhu suddenly saw a familiar figure getting closer and closer. His expression changed rapidly, and finally he showed a bright smile: "Advisor Chen!"

Bai Fen looked up blankly, and his expression instantly changed to surprise: "Advisor Chen!"

"I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

These two people were members of the seventh team that was catching poachers at that time.

"Shouldn't you be in Qinling Mountains?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully.

The boar scratched his head and said, "I received a special mission, saying it's nearby."

Before he could finish his words, the wild boar suddenly remembered the confidentiality agreement and quickly shut his mouth.

Bai Fern quickly kicked the wild boar and winked at it.

The wild boar looked confused. Didn't he shut up in time?
Bai Fen sighed secretly, then smiled at Chen Yuan's face and said, "Advisor Chen, please sit down for a while. I will contact the captain right away."

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "No, you guys are busy, I just came over to say hello."

Judging from the two's reactions, they should be carrying out a secret special mission, so he should not get involved.

Bai Fen grabbed Chen Yuan and said, "Advisor Chen, please sit down first. We need your help in this mission."

After saying this, Bai Fen quickly looked at the wild boar and blinked wildly.

The boar suddenly remembered something and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the captain definitely needs it. No, we need your help."

While the wild boar was distracting Consultant Chen, Bai Fen quickly made a phone call.

The phone rang and Bai Fen looked anxious.

Captain, answer the phone!
Your idol is right next to me!
It's up to you to seize this opportunity for close contact!
"What's going on?"

The cold voice rang in his ears along with the noisy background sound, and Bai Fern breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, there is a serious situation."

With the sound of footsteps, the background noise faded away, and the other end of the phone became quiet. Nie Li's voice sounded quietly: "Speak."

"Advisor Chen is here!"

"?"

"Captain, I ran into Consultant Chen when I was having dinner with Shan Zhu!!!" Seeing Nie Li silent, Bai Jue raised his voice.

Nie Li was silent for a moment, and his voice became noticeably softer: "I understand."

Hearing the captain's answer, White Fern was secretly anxious and had to speak again: "Captain, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"There's a good reason to have Consultant Chen join us on this mission."

"Even if we take a step back, Consultant Chen's ability can still help us."

Nie Li was silent for a long time, and finally uttered one word: "Okay."

After a pause, she added, "We just got some useful clues. Consultant Chen can indeed help us."

"Well, share the information with Consultant Chen first. I'll go talk to Captain Luo about this matter."

Hearing this, Bai Fen covered his mouth and chuckled: "Okay, Captain, you go ahead, I'll help you entertain Consultant Chen."

After hanging up the phone, White Fern returned to the two of them and winked at the wild boar.

Shan Zhu immediately understood and said to Chen Yuan: "Advisor Chen, actually the mission is like this."

at the same time,

When Luo Xian saw Nie Li returning, he asked casually, "Did you find anything?"

Nie Li shook his head, his voice as calm as ever: "I found an outside helper."

"Foreign aid?" Luo Xian raised his eyes, looking puzzled.

Nie Li said: "Consultant Chen Yuan from the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association."

"I've heard of him. He's a very powerful beastmaster. But he's not a professional after all. He probably has no experience in solving these problems, right?" Luo Xian frowned slightly.

Nie Li replied: "Advisor Chen has a wind hound with a keen sense of smell, which should be able to provide assistance."

"Okay." Luo Xian didn't want to refuse Nie Li's kindness. Besides, the addition of an association consultant was more or less a good thing.

just
He looked around and saw several members of the investigation team searching for clues with their pets. Among them were the Qinglan hunting dogs that were good at tracking and the Ningfeng hounds that had a keen sense of smell.
Although Consultant Chen is very capable, it takes professionals like them to solve this kind of problem.

What's more, they have already gained something, and it will probably not take long to resolve this emergency.

Consultant Chen is lucky. If he joins now, he can get some credit for free and enrich his resume.

"Captain, the inspection report is out. The hair we found at the scene contains weak dark energy." At this moment, a technician came to report the news. Luo Xian's eyes suddenly lit up: "It is indeed a dark pet. Our guess is correct."

Nie Li hummed softly, and then asked: "Can you analyze what kind of pet it is?"

"There is too little sample data at the moment, and the current database lacks data, so analysis is impossible," the technician replied.

Luo Xian secretly thought it was a pity, but he remained calm and said, "It's okay, this clue is enough."

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Nie Li and said thoughtfully: "Now we just have to wait and see if other people can find the same hair. If they do, we can narrow down the search area."

For the wealthy law enforcement department, as long as they can determine the corresponding search range, they can use various means to catch the suspect. It is only a matter of time.

The members of the investigation team were excited, and in a corner not far away, a stray cat opened its blue eyes and stared at them quietly.

"Meow~"

The stray cat called softly, flicked its tail, and walked away quickly in small steps.

“So that’s how it is”

After listening to Shanzhu's information, Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "So you are going to the crime scene a few days ago to look for clues?"

"Yes." Shanzhu nodded. "Each crime scene has several teams taking turns to investigate to ensure that no useful clues are missed."

"Advisor Chen, please come with us." Bai Jue looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation.

Chen Yuan stood up: "Let's go, hurry up."

This was the first time he participated in such an event and he was quite interested in it.

But the most important point is that as a consultant of the association, he cannot tolerate such a bad thing happening in his city.

I hope those missing children are safe.

But everyone knows that there is little hope.

after awhile,

The three of them came to an abandoned construction site only a few kilometers away from the school. The location here was actually not remote, and pedestrians passed by on the road outside the construction site from time to time.

Shan Zhu said: "This is the first crime scene. According to the parent, he had to pee urgently on his way home with his child after dinner outside. There was no toilet nearby, so he had to go to this abandoned construction site to relieve himself."

"When I turned around, the child was gone."

After a pause, he continued:
"The other crime scenes are not too far from here, so the suspect must be living in the nearby area."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully and was about to speak when he heard a faint cat meowing not far away.

He turned his head and saw that it was a group of stray cats gathered together, their pairs of fluorescent eyes were very conspicuous in the night.

While the two were carefully inspecting the scene, Chen Yuan walked forward and took a closer look, only to find that the leader was actually the thunder-patterned leopard cat from before.

Oh well, it turns out this is where they gather.

"Ouch!"

However, the perceptive Coke discovered something unusual.

This group of stray cats gathered together, with two takeout bags with the words "Guochao" engraved on them placed in the middle. They put their heads together and feasted on the food.

OK, it turned out to be a group of takeaway thieves!
The takeaway of the unlucky student from before should be here.

"Meow!"

Cola's cry immediately attracted the attention of the stray cats. They all raised their heads, turned to face Chen Yuan and Cola, crouched down, their fur stood on end, and their teeth were bared.

"Meow!"

The Thunder Cat's eyes flickered, and it took a half step forward. Crackling electric currents surged around its body, as if it was about to launch an attack in the next second.

Chen Yuan sighed, "What a grumpy little kitty."

"Ow!"

Seeing that the Thunder Cat dared to do such a thing in front of him, Cola was furious. He raised his head and roared, and a strong wind suddenly blew around him.

The wind blew with great force and blew up dust and gravel on the ground, scaring the stray cats into huddling together. Even the thunder-marked ocelot shrank its neck, whimpering in fear, and tried to retreat and hide.

But when he caught a glimpse of stray cats cuddling together from the corner of his eye, the Thunder Cat suppressed his inner fear and terror. Although his limbs trembled uncontrollably, he bravely stood in front of the stray cats.

"Advisor Chen, what happened?" At this time, Shanzhu and Baifen quickly came to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan said succinctly: "It's nothing, just a bunch of stray cats that stole the takeaway."

"Oh." Shan Zhu nodded, and then stopped paying attention to this little thing. "Advisor Chen, we didn't find it. It seems that the suspect who stole the child didn't leave any loopholes here."

"Meow!"

Chen Yuan didn't react before hearing this, but the Thunder Cat made a quick cry, then turned around and rushed into the thick night without looking back.

"Meow meow meow!"

The rest of the stray cats followed closely behind, their meows piercing the air, and one after another disappeared into the night.

Chen Yuan was startled at first, but soon realized something was wrong: "Coke, chase!"

As members of the criminal investigation department who had been carefully selected, the two also noticed something was wrong from the abnormal reaction of the Thunder Cat. They looked at each other and quickly followed Chen Yuan.

"Ouch!"

Cola's eyes were filled with excitement, his tail was wagging, and he chased the group of stray cats excitedly.

It is impossible for these weak stray cats to escape from my palm!
However, with the cover of night and the stray cats' familiarity with the terrain, they would turn into a narrow alley from time to time. For a while, Coke was unable to catch up. Fortunately, the distance between the two was rapidly narrowing.

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at the two people: "In this special situation, can I send out the Flame Cloud Falcon?"

The wild boar looked confused, but White Fern quickly responded: "Of course, it won't violate the pet animal access regulations."

After a pause, she continued, "By the way, Consultant Chen, even if there are no special circumstances, you can ignore these regulations as a consultant of the association."

Chen Yuan was stunned.

It turns out that my identity has this kind of hidden benefit.

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, a white summoning pattern appeared in front of him. Sparks vibrated his wings violently, and his orange-yellow body broke free from the white light, quickly flying in the air, his sharp eyes locked onto the front.

"Meow meow meow!"

The terrifying aura came over, instantly making the stray cats feel like they were thorns in their backs. Their bodies could not stop shaking and they cried out in fear.

"Meow!"

The Thundercat suppressed its uneasiness, nudged a lagging kitten with its head, then raised its eyes to the sky shrouded in darkness, with the bright flames reflected in its eyes.

So. So scary.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, a figure quickly passed by, and the huge figure obscured the eyes of all the kittens.

A strong wind blew through the entire alley, and the stray cats fell all over the place. Cola walked closer, grinning, like an evil villain.

"Meow meow meow."

The stray cats trembled, huddled together, buried their heads, and dared not run away again.

With Coke in front and sparks above, the group of stray cats were stuck in a dilemma and could only meow.

Chen Yuan and his two companions followed closely behind, approaching them step by step, while the wild boar and Bai Fern's pets blocked their retreat.

Looking at the group of stray cats, Chen Yuan showed a gentle smile on his face: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you."

"Ouch!"

Cola nodded in agreement, with the corners of his mouth raised, but the breeze around him made the stray cats even more scared.

Obviously, Coke is quite intimidating to these weak stray cats.

Chen Yuan held the dog's head and turned his head to look at the twin concubines: "You go ahead."

"Groan."

Even the Twin Flower Concubine in the night form would listen to Chen Yuan obediently. After Chen Yuan put it on the ground, it lifted up its long skirt and approached the stray cats step by step with a cold expression.

The wild boar and the white fern looked puzzled and exchanged glances with each other.

"What is Counselor Chen doing?"

"I don't understand, but Consultant Chen must have his reasons for doing this."

"Yinyin~"

The twin concubines forced a stiff smile on their faces, which made the stray cats shudder.

Chen Yuan touched his chin and muttered, "It doesn't seem to work."

When the Twin Flower Concubines enter the night state, their usual super-high charm attributes seem to be reset to zero, and they also lose the ability to make their opponents become gentle by just touching their pets.

Chen Yuan was just about to call his twin concubines back, but he saw that the little girl's expression quickly turned cold.

"Ow"

Seeing the changing expressions of the Twin Flower Concubines, even the usually fearless Coke shrank his neck.

"Groan."

The next moment, the twin flower concubines raised their petal-shaped palms, their long purple hair swayed in the wind, and they exuded a dangerous aura.

Upon closer inspection, a ball of purple-black energy was brewing in the palm of the Twin Flower Concubine, and dozens of wriggling hailstones were surging.

White Fern took a deep breath, "Poison skill, Humic Poison Explosion."

Such a cute little guy actually mastered such a sinister poison skill!
The boar crossed his arms and disagreed: "As beastmasters, we cannot have biased skills."

“Meow meow meow.”

Seeing the energy ball so close, the stray cats showed fear in their eyes and curled up into balls of wool.

"Meow"

Even the Thunder Cat felt scared when looking at the cold twin concubines. It didn't dare to fight back, let alone run away. It froze in place for a while.

"Well"

Chen Yuan's original intention was to let the twin concubines build good relationships with these stray cats, and then ask the questions in his mind smoothly.

But things were a little unexpected.

Fortunately, the actions of the twin concubines scared the stray cats, which might be helpful for the subsequent interrogation.

All his thoughts flashed by in an instant. Chen Yuan stared at the leading thunder-patterned leopard cat and asked solemnly, "I will not pursue the matter of you stealing the takeaway food now."

"I just want to ask one question, why did you choose to run away after hearing our conversation?"

"Do you know what happened the other day?"
