Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 290 Who is the Farm's Number One Pet?

Lü Hao's visit did not last long. He briefly toured the various areas under Chen Yuan's guidance, expressed his admiration for Chen Yuan, and then left quickly.

Visiting Consultant Chen was just a side thing; his main task was still to start the wilderness survival challenge.

Leaving the farm, Lü Hao cleared his throat and restarted his live stream:
"Brothers, I'm out of Consultant Chen's farm now. Next up is the highlight of this live stream—the wilderness survival challenge!"

"Over the next three days, the livestreamer will demonstrate in every aspect how to survive in the Qinling Mountains without any survival supplies."

However, the audience did not buy into Lü Hao's statement and flooded the screen with comments:
"The streamer is hogging all the profits!"

"What is the inside of Consultant Chen's farm like?"

"Can the host please explain? I'm so anxious!"

Looking at the dense barrage of comments, Lü Hao didn't reply immediately. Instead, he turned back to look at the farm gradually receding into the distance, and his voice, full of emotion, gradually rose: "This is the most incredible farm I've ever seen."

He paused, then slowly said, "You can't imagine what it's like inside, and I can't describe it accurately either. In short, it's incredible, unbelievable."

"The host talked for ages and it was all nonsense."

"Can you say something useful?"

"I really want to whip the streamer's ass hard with the tail of a fire serpent."

"Something's wrong with you? Why aren't you hitting me?"

Despite the intense reactions from the comments, Lü Hao still didn't reveal any details about the farm's interior. Instead, he chuckled and said, "If any friends want to find out what's going on inside the farm, then come to Xuanhe Village."

He pointed a finger at the steel-headed gopher guarding the gate, a slight smile playing on his lips: "If you can defeat this unremarkable steel-headed gopher, you will pass Consultant Chen's test, and the farm gates will open for you."

"correct."

At this point, Lü Hao's large face suddenly came close to the camera: "This steel-headed gopher is a little bit ruthless, remember to bring plenty of healing spray."

After watching Lü Hao leave the farm, Chen Yuan returned to the yard.

This is the first day since I returned from Yunnan Province.

At Puda Snow Mountain, Chen Yuan successfully prevented the enraged Qiongyu Shuangfeng from causing disaster, and then led the members of the New Star Society back to the Criminal Investigation Department, finally ending their bumpy journey in Yunnan Province.

In the end, Qiongyu Shuangfeng returned to the summit of the snow-capped mountain and began his long and arduous steadfast defense once again.

To prevent similar incidents from happening again, the Investigation Department uses special methods to monitor Qiongyu Shuangfeng's every move around the clock to ensure that it is no longer targeted by bad guys and thus does not fall into a state of rage.

As for the Frosty Sky Beast, it once again became the "pseudo-sky overlord" of Puda Snow Mountain.

Qiongyu Shuangfeng dwells high in the sky, only appearing when the sun shines on the golden mountain, and usually ignores other pets.

In this way, the Sky Fierce Beast became the de facto ruler of the sky.

As for the members of the Rising Star Society who instigated the whole incident and whose actions were egregious, they all received punishments of varying degrees.

Because they captured an officer, several senior members and ordinary members, and successfully thwarted their plot, both the Fourth and Ninth Groups were commended and received a generous material reward.

This finally eliminated the negative impact of the fourth group's previous mission failure, freeing all members from living in constant anxiety about being laid off.

In addition, Chen Yuan and others also received rewards.

The Criminal Investigation Department shared this incident with the Beast Tamer Association, for which they received a contribution point reward and were awarded a commemorative badge by the Yunnan Provincial Beast Tamer Association.

This badge is exquisitely crafted and bears a line of small print: "On behalf of the Yunnan Provincial Beast Tamer Association, we extend our highest gratitude to Mr. Chen Yuan."

After leaving Puda Snow Mountain, Chen Yuan and the others returned to LS City for two days of rest, and then returned to Xuanhe Village this morning.

This trip took almost a week. It was supposed to be a relaxing and leisurely vacation, but the sudden appearance of the New Star Society caused a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, the final result was satisfactory; all members of the Rising Star Society were captured, and Cola successfully advanced to Morning Star quality.

This significantly enhanced the overall strength of the farm.

The strongest pet in the farm is still the leader, who was the first to break through to the third tier and the first to reach the Morning Star quality. She is currently making an attempt to reach the fourth tier, and her position as the leader is unshakeable.

But the upgraded version of Coca-Cola doesn't think so.

Once advanced, Cola's strength experienced a qualitative leap. Not only did she master two skills, but the proficiency of all her skills was also improved. Furthermore, she gained the ability to truly rival the boss—flight.

Cola, having overcome its own shortcomings, is now full of fighting spirit. In addition, having defeated the sky overlord Qiongyu Shuangfeng a few days ago, it is now confident that it can defeat Spark and reclaim the throne of the farm's number one pet.

Ranking below Spark and Cola are the Twin Flower Concubines. The little ones are diligent and hardworking, and their poison skills have been honed to perfection, even giving Spark and Cola a headache.

They are not afraid of falling in the intense energy collision, but they are worried about their bodies being ravaged by toxins and closing their eyes under the torment of pain.

The little guy has now broken through to the third tier, and Chen Yuan's next goal is to advance him to the Morning Star quality.

Besides these three little guys, the farm pets are ranked as follows: Iron-Headed Baby, Electric Flying Cat, Runrun Duck, Fallen Horned Beast, Bean Chicken Nest, Wood Spirit Mouse Family, and Winter Dog.

Aside from Ironhead Baby, who stands out among the pets and holds a clear advantage, Electric Flying Cat, Runrun Duck, and Fallen Horned Beast are roughly equal in strength. They counter each other, making it difficult to determine a true winner.

As for the strength of the Bean Chicken brood, it is unpredictable. The Bean Chicken's lower limit is extremely low, but when the chicks encounter danger, it can even briefly unleash a terrifying strength comparable to Iron Head Baby.

The "bean impact," brimming with maternal love, even startled Cola.

In fact, after so much time has passed, the chicks of Bean Chicken have long since matured, but they are still just like when they were chicks, following Bean Chicken around the farm all day long.

The Wood Spirit Rat family's strength is rather strange.

The two little wood spirit mice and their mother are only good at catalyzing spirit plants, and their combat power is almost zero. On the other hand, the scarred mouse seems to be hiding its strength very well. It looks like it has no special strength, but it can occasionally unleash a terrifying aura.

However, the Wood Spirit Rat family was diligent and hardworking, not only diligently catalyzing the spirit plants but also taking on the farm cleaning work, so Chen Yuan ignored the scarred rat's special characteristics.

It's fine if you like to hide your strength; you won't cause any trouble in the farm guarded by Ironhead.

The Sprite that Chen Yuan brought back from Puda Snow Mountain undoubtedly became the weakest member of the farm.

Chen Yuan turned his head and saw that Sprite was lying close to Cola, watching the farm members' fierce battle with wide eyes.

To test whether the little guys had been slacking off during their training, Chen Yuan had them battle each other as soon as they returned to the farm to check the results of their training.

As the farm's newest member, Sprite watches intently as his seniors engage in fierce battles.

after awhile,

"quack."

Looking at the Fallen Horned Beast he had defeated, Runrun Duck gasped for breath, but a slightly smug smile appeared on his face.

I'm exhausted!

Similar to the previous farm competition, type advantage greatly influenced the outcome of the battle. Runrun Duck lost to Electric Flycat but defeated Falling Horned Beast.

Electric Flying Cat defeated Run Run Duck, but lost to Falling Horned Beast.

It's worth mentioning that the three little guys broke through to the third tier in succession during this period, greatly enhancing the overall strength of the farm.

In this way, even if Chen Yuan leaves temporarily, the farm will still have four Tier 3 pet beasts left, and its overall strength will be comparable to that of a large pet beast clan.

"The farm is getting better and better," Chen Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Looking back, the little guys had to fight tooth and nail against the harassment of the Storm Cloud Sparrows and the revenge of the Snow Cloud Wolves, and I had to worry about the safety of the farm every day.

But as time went by, the farm, whose overall strength was soaring, welcomed the harassment of every wild beast and pet clan.

As for Ironhead, he was too busy guarding the gate to participate in his friends' play and fights.

"Ow~"

Seeing that his friends' battle was over, Cola, who had been lying lazily on the ground, suddenly got up and walked straight towards Spark.

"Ow!"

Cola was full of vigor, its eyes burning with fighting spirit, and its fluffy tail swayed to the beat of eager battle.

It's time to challenge the sparks and prove that I, Cola, am the master's number one favorite.

When Cola walked straight toward the eldest sister, the little ones present reacted in different ways.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

As Coca-Cola's most loyal little brother, Sprite was the first to cheer and shout, its short tail resembling a blooming dandelion, its big eyes staring directly at Coca-Cola's back.

From the moment Coke rescued Sprite from the storm, Sprite considered Coke her boss for life.

Although Sprite didn't understand why its leader was challenging its older sister, it unconditionally supported all of its leader's decisions.

The boss must be right!

"Electricity."

Electric Flying Cat, who had initially shown little interest and was about to return to the treehouse for a nap, suddenly widened its eyes and became excited upon seeing this scene.

Finally started!

Cola finally couldn't stand the boss's rule anymore!

Cola has finally challenged the most invincible, most noble, and most supreme boss!

This battle will determine who holds the title of the farm's leader!
"Electricity!"

The Electric Flying Cat's eyes kept moving, its limbs gently rubbing the ground, and its eyes gleamed with intelligence.

Whom should it support?
The boss lady's invincibility is deeply ingrained in people's minds; the farm under her rule is steadily thriving and has never faced any danger, allowing Electric Flying Cat to sleep soundly every day. Cola's sudden rise to prominence is also a good thing; it might just bring unprecedented new changes to the farm.

"Electricity."

After a moment's thought, Electric Flying Cat felt that as the smartest member of the farm, he shouldn't make a choice so quickly.

Let's observe the situation first and see who gains the upper hand.

"quack."

Compared to the Electric Flying Cat, whose thoughts race in an instant, Runrun Duck's mind is exceptionally pure.

Duck first swaggered over to a scorching fruit tree, plopped down and leaned against the trunk to rest, then looked up at the boss and Cola who were facing off against each other.

"quack."

Runrun Duck doesn't care about winning or losing. As long as it doesn't affect its sunbathing and eating spirit fish, it doesn't matter who is the leader.

To be honest, Runrun Duck has a better relationship with Coca-Cola.

After all, Spark's calm demeanor, superior strength, and meticulous work style made the other kids a little afraid, and they inevitably kept their distance when they got along.

But the invincible boss will treat all farm members fairly and will protect them selflessly.

The boss is like a golden sun hanging high above the farm, shining on everything.

Therefore, Runrun Duck thinks it's fine for anyone to be the leader.

The other little guys reacted differently. The Fallen Horned Beast was convinced that the eldest sister was invincible and that Cola, who had made progress, was no match for her.

The brood of chicks were simply watching the show, flapping their wings and clucking incessantly, setting off the atmosphere of fierce battle.

Two little wood spirit mice tried to get closer to watch the battle, but were pulled back by the serious-looking scarred mouse.

"call out"

Scarred Rat knew that the farm was in a period of upheaval in its power structure, and that choosing the wrong side would lead to utter ruin.

They have always walked on thin ice on the farm, being cautious and prudent. Now, lacking a clear stance, they must minimize their presence as much as possible.

I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the challenge launched by Cola against Spark gradually unfolded.

Chen Yuan did not stop the fierce battle; he also wanted to know the current strength gap between Cola and Spark.

Moreover, moderate real-world sparring helps to solidify one's strength.

"Ouch!"

Full of confidence, Cola strode forward, stepping into the void, its speed increasing until it was soaring through the air in an instant.

With a powerful roar, Cola took the initiative to use [Mind Shock], preparing to launch a surprise attack on Spark.

"Chirp!"

However, the mental shock that Qiong Yu Shuang Feng had always been effective against seemed to have no effect on Huo Hua. Huo Hua spread its wings and flew in mid-air, letting out a clear and melodious cry, and golden flames surged from its body.

The mind-shaking technique had no effect on the spark; in fact, the cola was startled by the spark's hissing sound.

The scene unfolding before my eyes was as if Spark had mastered [Mind Shock].

In the past, whenever Spark made that sound, it meant that Cola was about to get a beating.

This sound has been recorded in Cola's DNA, and every time it is heard, the body trembles uncontrollably.

"Ow"

Cola shook her head, forcing herself to suppress her body's subconscious reaction.

It is now the Wind-Riding Hound, a majestic celestial dog, no longer the Wind-Gathering Hound that was helpless against sparks.

Chen Yuan looked thoughtful and murmured, "Spark's willpower is stronger than Cola's, so it won't be affected by the Mind Shock."

Furthermore, Spark's overall strength is also superior to Cola's.

Seeing that [Mind Shock] had not worked, Cola's frustration flashed by, and he turned to use [Wind Vortex Slaughter].

This is also one of its proudest moves.

Let Sparks witness the power of the gale!
But in the face of absolute power, even the fiercest winds cannot shake the surging flames.

Before the vortex could fully form, it was easily defeated by a single [Flame Surge] from Spark and dissipated into the wind.

"Aww?!!"

Cola suddenly opened its eyes wide, its face filled with doubt about its existence as a dog.

This is not right!

Why does the gap between it and Spark become wider after it advances to a higher level?

Cola couldn't accept this reality for a moment, but Chen Yuan sighed inwardly, "Poor Cola."

Before advancing to the next level, when Cola and Spark sparred, the latter would always hold back and try to restrain its power as much as possible.

To prevent Cola's Dao Heart from collapsing on the spot if a burst of flame were to erupt.

But when Cola advances to the next level, Spark no longer needs to worry about Cola's physique being unable to withstand its torment, so it unleashes its full power without restraint, allowing Cola to thoroughly experience the high-intensity battle between Morning Star quality units.

then
After three minutes,

With a bruised and swollen face and charred fur, Cola clung tightly to Chen Yuan's leg, his eyes dim, whimpering pitifully, "Aww aww aww."

It no longer wants to challenge the boss!
Chen Yuan stroked the aggrieved dog's head and laughed helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay. Failure is only temporary. Next time you will definitely be able to last longer in front of Spark."

"Ow?"

Upon hearing this, Cola suppressed her aggrieved expression and looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation.

Chen Yuan coughed lightly and continued, "I'm not lying to you."

He paused briefly, organized his thoughts, and slowly spoke: "You've only advanced a few days ago, and you haven't fully mastered your improved strength yet. Your proficiency with the new skills is also far from sufficient."

"Once you consolidate your strength and improve your skill proficiency, the gap between you and Spark will narrow further."

"By that time."

Chen Yuanping looked into Cola's azure eyes and said gently, "You two are the real clash of titans."

He didn't deceive Coca-Cola. When Coca-Cola was at its best, it was evenly matched with Spark, and it was a formidable opponent. In fact, when it was at its peak, it could even defeat Spark.

However, as Spark advances, the gap between the two widens further, making it extremely difficult for Cola to compete with Spark.

Now that cola has also advanced, the gap between the two may narrow in a while.

Only then will Coca-Cola at its strongest be able to truly clash with Spark.

"Ow!"

After carefully listening to Chen Yuan's words of comfort, Cola's fighting spirit was rekindled. It pounced on Chen Yuan and licked his cheek with its wet tongue.

As Chen Yuan wiped the drool off his face, he chuckled helplessly, "You're so big now, yet you still act like a little kid every day."

Cola remained silent, only licking Chen Yuan's lips.

"Hey~"

When Sprite saw Coke's actions, it tilted its head, then staggered towards Chen Yuan and imitated Coke by licking him.

"You little rascal, you tried to ambush me."

Chen Yuan gently twisted Xue Bi's neck with his other hand, turned her over, and reached out to tickle her.

Sprite's abdomen suddenly became incredibly itchy. Her short, underdeveloped limbs thrashed about, struggling desperately, but she could not escape Chen Yuan's clutches and could only whimper.

Chen Yuan chuckled and said, "Puppies are definitely more fun."

Upon hearing this, Cola's face darkened, and she glanced at Sprite, who was being ravaged by its owner, with considerable hostility.

Did it bring back a little guy who was trying to steal its owner's affection?
Looking at Sprite struggling in its owner's hands, Cola suddenly remembered the day when the wind was raging on Mount Puda, and her heart softened.

Since the owner has given it so much love, it's okay to share some with it.

After Spark and Cola's battle ended, Runrun Duck yawned and returned to the fishpond to rest, while Electric Flying Cat, looking disappointed, went back to the treehouse to take a nap, and the Wood Spirit Mouse family left behind to clean up the traces of the battle.

"嘤嘤嘤"

Sprite, having escaped the farmer's clutches, swayed, only to be bitten on the neck by Coke, causing her to panic.

"Ow!"

do not move!

Let me introduce you to the members of Paw Patrol.
