Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 42 Lumen Fruit Tree
The morning sun is getting hotter.
RunRun Duck stood in the field with her butt sticking out, watering the fruit cores one by one.

It hummed the "Duck March" which no one could understand while enjoying the fun of watering.

When the watering was finished, it pretended to wipe its forehead, tidy up its hair, and retreated to Chen Yuan's side.

Chen Yuan gave a thumbs up: "Okay, let's have fried dried fish for lunch today."

"quack."

RunRun Duck immediately smiled happily.

Afterwards, Coke was about to take Runrun Duck to familiarize herself with the farm environment, but the latter shook his head and walked to the fish pond and lay down.

It started to bask in the sun again.

"This is really the life of a retired cadre." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly.

After breakfast,

Chen Yuan, who was about to go out for a walk, received a call from Song Guohao.

"Brother Song, is there something wrong?"

"There is something I need your help with." Song Guohao's low voice sounded.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Song, why are you being so polite to me?"

"Then I'll be frank." Song Guohao paused for a moment, worded his sentence, and explained, "Actually, there was a problem at Uncle Zhao's house."

"Oh?" Chen Yuan looked curious.

"Doesn't he have a gray-armored wild boar at home?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded. He had also contacted this gray-armored wild boar to get the source point.

"It's like this. These past two days, Uncle Zhao has heard the gray-armored wild boar making terrible cries every night. When he went to check, he found scratches all over its body."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously guessed, "Fought with other extraordinary creatures?"

Song Guohao didn't comment and continued, "Uncle Zhao asked us to help check the situation. As a result, when we went there, we found a spiritual plant in Uncle Zhao's farm."

"Now you should understand why the gray-armored boar was injured, right?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, his brain working rapidly, and then he came up with a bold guess: "Some extraordinary creatures wanted to fight for the spiritual plant, and then the gray-armored boar tried to stop it, and the two sides started fighting?"

"This is also my guess, it should be almost correct." Song Guohao spoke in a deep voice, and then said in a very helpless tone, "But you know the situation of our rescue station. Now there is no beastmaster who can deal with this situation. I can only ask you to take action."

Chen Yuan readily agreed: "It's a small matter."

"So do you want to come over and check the situation first? Or wait until night?" Song Guohao asked.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's come and take a look first."

"Okay, I'll let Zhang Hao wait for you."

More than ten minutes later,
Chen Yuan met Zhang Hao at the gate of Uncle Zhao's farm, with Uncle Zhao also standing nearby.

After Chen Yuan greeted the two, Uncle Zhao quickly said, "Xiao Chen, everyone says you are the most capable beastmaster in Xuanhe Village. You have to help me with this matter."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao. Let's take a look at the situation first." Chen Yuan calmed Uncle Zhao down and then asked in a gentle voice, "Uncle Zhao, tell me first. When did the incident happen?"

"It started the night before yesterday and it happened last night too. Your Aunt Wang and I have been worried all day long and we can't do our work properly." Uncle Zhao looked worried and sighed.

Chen Yuan said calmly: "It's okay, we will help you solve it."

Walking into the farm,

Chen Yuan soon saw the gray-armored wild boar strolling around. When he got closer, he saw that there were indeed several shallow scratches on its body.

The gray-armored wild boar is now a whole circle larger than the first time Chen Yuan saw it. With the scars on its body, a fierce aura rushes towards him.

With vigilant eyes, he looked at Sparks and Coke beside Chen Yuan, then he kept stamping on the ground with his limbs, huffing and puffing out hot air, looking particularly anxious. Chen Yuan was stunned: "Uncle Zhao, you just let it wander around the farm instead of raising it in the pigpen?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhao sighed and said, "I want to, too, but the pigpen can't stop it. It can jump out easily."

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "There's really nothing we can do about it."

Circumventing the gray-armored wild boar that looked like a barrel of explosives that could explode at any time, Uncle Zhao led the two of them to a big tree about ten meters high.

This big tree is lush and leafy, with more than a dozen bright yellow fruits hanging on it.

Chen Yuan had never seen this kind of tree, nor had he seen this kind of fruit.

"Brother Song looked up the information. This is the Lumen Fruit Tree. The fruit it bears can enhance the comprehension of extraordinary creatures." At this moment, Zhang Hao's voice rang in his ears.

Chen Yuan turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and continued: "Lumen Fruit is a second-level resource. If it is sold to the association, it is worth at least ten contribution points."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Zhao is really lucky."

Uncle Zhao listened to the conversation with a confused look on his face, then he realized belatedly and said, "You mean, can we sell this fruit for money?"

The two nodded.

"Sell to the vegetable market or the supermarket?" Uncle Zhao continued to ask.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Neither, it was sold to the Beast Tamer Association."

Uncle Zhao's expression became even more confused.

Chen Yuan stopped dwelling on this topic and waved his hand: "Let's first find a way to solve the current problem, and we'll discuss this matter later."

After a long time,
Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao walked out of the farm side by side.

"It seems that our guess is correct. There must be some extraordinary creature trying to grab the Lumen Fruit and then fight with the gray-armored wild boar." After investigating the scene, Chen Yuan became more certain of his guess.

"These extraordinary creatures have very sharp noses. They can actually find this place."

Logically speaking, Uncle Zhao’s farm is located in the center of Xuanhe Village, some distance away from the nearest forest, so it should be very safe.

"If only there were surveillance cameras, the truth would be revealed immediately." Zhang Hao shrugged.

"Indeed." Chen Yuan nodded in agreement and decided to install surveillance cameras on his own farm.

In this new era, it is very necessary to install surveillance.

"By the way, have you contracted a pet?" Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Zhang Hao and asked curiously.

"Ahem." Zhang Hao showed a rare look of embarrassment, and then his voice became smaller and smaller, "It's a contract, the kind you just saw."

Chen Yuan was startled at first, then he suddenly realized, "Oh, gray-armored wild boar."

He looked at the embarrassed Zhang Hao and joked, "Sure enough, you finally figured it out and decided to become a Pig Knight."

Subsequently,

He patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "It's okay, Haozi. Every extraordinary creature has unlimited potential and possibilities."

"The grey-armored boar is not bad, in my opinion it is even good."

Zhang Hao suddenly looked up and signaled Chen Yuan to continue with his expectant eyes.

Chen Yuan cleared his throat and continued, "The gray-armored wild boar has thick skin and is very resistant to beatings. Doesn't this complement you as a beastmaster?"

Zhang Hao, who had been listening attentively, looked discolored and started to curse: "Get lost!"

After a while of laughter, the two quietly waited for the night to fall.
