Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 347 Consultant Chen, the eternal crisis solver!
Monday, October 1.

The biting wind whipped up heavy snowflakes, transforming the entire town of Xuanhe into a pristine, silvery-white world.

Chen Yuan stepped out of the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association's car, tightened his scarf, and his breath instantly condensed into white mist.

He glanced at the town covered in snow, then stepped back onto this familiar land.

Although he had only been away from Xuanhe Town for a few days, he had experienced so much during that time that he couldn't help but feel as if he had been in another world.

But a snowflake landed on his fingertip, bringing a slight chill. Just as Chen Yuan was about to reach out and wipe away the dampness, the fire-breathing bird on his shoulder glanced at him, and the snowflake vanished completely.

"Thanks."

Spark's actions pulled Chen Yuan back from his wandering thoughts. With a smile on his face, Chen Yuan strode forward.

"Ouch!"

When the Paw Patrol, which was gathered around the big tree at the entrance of the village, saw Chen Yuan, they wagged their tails, panted, and rushed over, barking incessantly.

Chen Yuan smiled and patted their heads: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll call your leader out right away."

In the eyes of ordinary beast tamers, he is the most outstanding, miraculous, and incredible Consultant Chen, whose appearance always causes a stir.

But in the eyes of the Paw Patrol, he was just an ordinary human being, and his only connection with them was their leader, Cola.

A summoning array appeared brilliantly before him, and a white light wrapped around a can of cola slowly materialized. His tall and imposing figure stood before the Paw Patrol, his majestic presence instantly commanding the respect of all the dogs.

"Ow~"

Cola's eyes shone brightly as it scanned the surroundings, taking in the adoring and respectful gazes of the Paw Patrol members. Then, it raised its head and barked, its voice echoing throughout Xuanhe Town.

"Ouch~~"

Cola's cry seemed to have turned on a mysterious switch, and barking dogs echoed from every corner of Xuanhe Town. Then, one after another, canine pets rushed over with the wind in their figures, surrounding their leader in the center.

"Ow~"

Watching the Paw Patrol grow stronger day by day, Cola looked smug, and then briefly asked them about the town's situation during this time.

As the town's most important security system, the Paw Patrol's main role is to prevent attacks from wild animals and to stop conflicts between out-of-town animal tamers.

During the time Cola was away, Xuanhe Town was peaceful and quiet, and no accidents occurred.

"Ow."

Cola nodded in satisfaction.

The Paw Patrol's reputation resounded throughout the area, especially with Cola leading the way, making them virtually invincible in the vicinity. No wild pet dared to be so reckless as to harass the village.

Seeing the interaction between Coca-Cola and Paw Patrol, Chen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

The Paw Patrol is the largest pet force in Xuanhe Town, with more than thirty members. Among them, the leader, Cola, is undoubtedly at the half-step fourth level. The former leader, who was once defeated by Cola, has also broken through to the third level.

In addition, there are several second-tier members and a group of cubs.

In terms of overall size and strength, they definitely belong to a medium-sized pet beast group. If Cola were to unleash its full power, it could even compete with large pet beast groups.

Within the Paw Patrol's territory, wild animals yield, and out-of-town animal trainers tread on thin ice.

After all, nobody wants to be taught a lesson by the Paw Patrol in front of everyone.

Besides Paw Patrol, there are only larks.

Since the Flying Cloud Sparrows reached a cooperation agreement with the Beast Tamer's Office through Zhang Hao's introduction, they have worked diligently to help beast tamers from other places find their way and detect dangers in the Qinling Mountains, earning widespread praise.

Of course, there are also a few particularly short-tempered larks who have clashed with customers, even to the point of fighting.

However, the leaders of the geckos understood the importance of working within the system. They needed safe accommodations and stable treatment, so they took the initiative to teach the geckos a lesson, and such conflicts basically disappeared from then on.

With life settling down, the seeds of love began to sprout and grow vigorously. The originally small flock of Storm Cloud Sparrows quickly expanded and has now become the second largest pet beast force in Xuanhe Town.

They cooperate closely with the Beastmaster's Office, not only working diligently but also actively helping to search for people in distress and find spiritual plants.

The bond between humans and their pets is gradually deepening in some strange way.

In addition, there are some scattered pets living in Xuanhe Town, but they are not a large-scale group.

"Ow?"

After inquiring about the work of the Paw Patrol, Cola turned to Chen Yuan, casting a requesting glance.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Go ahead, remember to come home for dinner."

"Ow!"

Cola barked excitedly and immediately led the Paw Patrol across the mountains and fields, patrolling the surrounding area.

A pack of canine pets is wreaking havoc in the Qinling Mountains.

Chen Yuan touched the backpack containing the pet eggs with his other hand and continued forward.

"Brother Chen Yuan is back!"

The children playing at the village entrance shouted excitedly when they saw Chen Yuan return; their innocent and excited voices carried on the cold wind and echoed throughout the town.

"Consultant Chen is back!"

"Oh dear, this is really tough. How did we run into such a dangerous situation again? Is Xiao Chen alright?"

Looking at the concerned elders in the village, Chen Yuan smiled helplessly: "I'm not injured."

After two days of fermentation, the Bibo Island incident has spread throughout the entire internet, and even the residents of Xuanhe Town, which lives deep in the mountains, know about it and are discussing it heatedly.

The old man remained at the center of the discussion. Whenever others praised Chen Yuan for turning the tide, he would force a smile and say, "It's good that he wasn't injured, it's good that he wasn't injured."

After bidding farewell to the group of elders surrounding him and the visiting beast tamers who had come to join the fun, Chen Yuan set off on the path home and soon arrived at the farm gate.

"Crack."

The dutiful Ironhead first carefully sniffed Chen Yuan's scent, then sheathed his blade and nodded to the farmer.

All safe.

Chen Yuan reached out and patted Tie Touwa on the shoulder: "You've worked hard."

"Crack~"

Ironhead Baby kept his eyes straight ahead, his gaze fixed on the swirling snowflakes and the potential dangers lurking in the shadows.

A sharp blade can cut through wind and snow, but it cannot eliminate all dangers.

Therefore, it must be vigilant about its surroundings at all times.

Stepping out of the farm and across the snow-covered ground, you soon arrive at the yard.

The Wood Spirit Rat family was diligently sweeping away the snow with their large tails when Scarface Rat suddenly twitched its ears. Sensing Chen Yuan's return, it immediately raised its head and stood neatly beside Chen Yuan with its wife and children.

With serious faces and earnest expressions, their upright posture in the snow resembled soldiers awaiting inspection.

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with this group of diligent employees: "They did a great job."

Just then, little guys rushed over from every corner of the farm.

With grease stains on its beak, Runrun Duck swaggered toward Chen Yuan, its pert rear end still attracting attention.

Electric Flying Cat flapped its wings and flew out of the lobby. When it saw Chen Yuan's figure, a fleeting look of embarrassment crossed its face, but it quickly pretended to be nonchalant. Sprite ran wildly from the specially planned training area. It ran around Chen Yuan several times, but when it did not see the figure it was looking forward to, it hung its head listlessly.

A flock of chicks fluttered their wings and surrounded them. Although they were chicks, they had already grown into adults, each one plump and juicy.
Chen Yuan rested his chin on his hand, staring at the increasingly plump chicks for a while, then muttered to himself, "There are a lot of them. Maybe we should make a whole chicken feast sometime."

Chen Yuan's voice sounded like a devil's whisper, which frightened the chicks so much that their wings flapped and feathers fell off, and they trembled and hid behind their mother hen.

The mother hen's size has long been caught up by her chicks, but when she spreads her wings, she still seems to be able to protect all the chicks behind her, shielding them from the wind and rain, just like before.

Chen Yuan laughed heartily: "Just kidding."

After teasing the chicks, Chen Yuan shifted his gaze to the two most restless creatures on the farm—Runrun Duck and Dian Dian Flying Cat.

But he only glanced at Runrun Duck and stared intently at Dian Dian Flying Cat.

Electric Flying Cat did not respond, still acting as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until Chen Yuan started walking towards the main hall that Dian Dian Fei Mao showed a look of panic.

Snacks were scattered all around the sofa. Chen Yuan glanced at them expressionlessly, then walked to the TV under the uneasy gaze of Dian Dian Fei Mao. He reached out his right hand and touched the back of the TV to check its temperature.

fever.

Upon seeing this, Electric Flying Cat's eyes widened in horror.

It’s over!

This detail was overlooked.

Chen Yuan stared intently at the Electric Flying Cat, without saying a word or showing any expression on his face.

But Chen Yuan's expressionless face made Dian Dian Fei Mao even more flustered, and it slowly lowered its head.

"call out."

Silence fell over the lobby, the atmosphere froze, and Scarface Rat, his face serious, slowly stepped forward to clean up the spilled snacks.

Chen Yuan reached out to stop him: "Let it do it itself."

Scarred Rat glanced at Senior Electric Flying Cat, then at the imposing farmer, and obediently stopped where it was.

"Electricity."

Knowing it was in the wrong, Electric Flying Cat quickly started cleaning the lobby to avoid the farmer's wrath.

After a moment, upon seeing the clean and tidy lobby, Chen Yuan finally nodded: "This will not happen again."

Just as Electric Flying Cat breathed a long sigh of relief, the other little guys had already surrounded the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, who had successfully advanced and whose appearance had changed slightly.

"Giggle."

The chicks reacted the most intensely, flapping their wings one by one, trying to get close to the more beautiful and charming goddess.

A sweet smile from the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy can capture their hearts, making them offer up the most nutritious bean and chicken eggs.

"quack."

Looking at the obviously more powerful Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, Runrun Duck's eyes darted around, and its wings flapped gently.

Since the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy has become more powerful, doesn't that mean it can better catalyze the growth of spiritual plants?

Does that mean I, Duck, won't have to work?
Thinking of this, Runrun Duck's eyes lit up, as if she could already see herself retiring early and living a carefree life.

Just then, Chen Yuan's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his younger brother calling.

"Brother, I've checked the information and asked the teacher, but I haven't found any information that matches this pet egg yet."

After a pause, Chen Wenhao's tone revealed the composure and rigor unique to researchers: "But the situation you described is very special and has extremely high research value. It may take some time to study it and crack its secrets."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Forget about the research, I don't want to add to your research burden."

Since Chen Wenhao made a name for himself in the pet academic community, he has taken on more and more research projects and his scientific research tasks have become increasingly heavy, keeping him busy every day.

Chen Yuan consulted him about the special circumstances of this pet egg yesterday, but to his surprise, there was no relevant record.

“Alright, but based on your description, this pet should be safe.” Chen Wenhao’s voice sounded slightly tired. “If it hatches successfully, it should be of Morning Star quality or higher, and it might become your powerful pet.”

Chen Yuan said, "Okay, I'll try to hatch it first."

Chen Wenhao brought up another topic: "By the way, bro, now that your Twin Flower Concubines have advanced, have you uploaded the advancement requirements?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Uploaded."

After the Bibo Island incident, Chen Yuan returned to Binhai City with the others. After a short rest for a day, he uploaded the advancement requirements for the Twin Flower Concubines last night.

He used to upload his files at night and they were always approved on time, so the staff member in charge of the review must also be a night owl.

Since that's the case, I'll continue uploading in the evening.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan logged onto the Beastmaster official website and saw that the advancement requirements had been successfully uploaded, but no Beastmaster had yet spent contribution points to purchase them.

It is foreseeable that the advancement conditions for the Twin Flower Concubines will bring Chen Yuan the least amount of contribution points.

Come to think of it, compared to the more common Gale Hound and the rare Flame Cloud Falcon, the Twin Flower Concubine, which has demanding birth conditions, is extremely rare, and there are very few beast tamers who can possess it.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan didn't expect the little guy's advancement conditions to bring him a lot of contribution points.

The other advanced conditions he uploaded each month brought him a considerable amount of contribution points, and with the contribution point rewards from the association advisors, he received a substantial amount of contribution points every month.

Moreover, given his significant role in the crisis on Bibo Island, the Eastern Beast Tamer Association awarded him another contribution point, which made his previously spent contribution points plentiful again.

Once the conditions for upgrading Runrun Duck and Iron-Headed Baby are unlocked, you can directly purchase upgrade resources using contribution points.

In addition, Chen Yuan also received a message from the Eastern Beast Tamer Association:
[Dear Beast Tamer Chen Yuan, in recognition of your significant role in the Azure Wave Island incident, the Eastern Beast Tamer Association awards you the City Hero Medal and calls upon all Beast Tamers to learn from you.]

Chen Yuan smiled.

As long as the material rewards are adequate, this kind of spiritual reward can easily satisfy him.

The reason why the Bibo Island incident caused such a huge sensation on the internet was mainly due to Lü Hao, who was live-streaming at the time.

This live stream immediately brought the Bibo Island incident to its peak, attracting viewers from all over the internet and prompting numerous media outlets to rush to report on it.

Even two days later, the internet is still flooded with discussions about this incident:
"Advisor Chen, a perpetual crisis resolver, always on the front lines of disaster relief."

"Strange, why haven't I encountered similar events? Is it because I'm too outstanding, so disasters avoid me?"

"Tell me something you don't know."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, Consultant Chen's timing for each appearance is too perfect, so perfect that it seems as if he directed and acted it all himself."

"That makes sense. The gigantic pets were actually all actors arranged by Consultant Chen."

"Can any experts tell me where Consultant Chen's overall strength ranks in Donghuang?"

"I am a student at the headquarters of the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy. I have dealt with the most talented beast tamers. Let me tell you this: Advisor Chen's strength is at least in the top ten in Donghuang. He is a strong contender for the finals of this Donghuang Tournament."

Chen Yuan smiled and put his phone away, then looked out the window—the swirling snow had turned the continuous mountain range white, and from a distance, it looked like a coiled white dragon.

With everything settled, it's time to focus on training and wait for the Donghuang Tournament to begin.
