Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 98: Forest Ranger in the Mountains

"Really won?"

Seeing the silver-armored mantis lying on the ground, Zhou Xu still couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and spoke in a daze.

How come this is different from the plot he imagined?
Moreover, the ease with which Spark defeated the Silver-Armored Mantis was almost the same as the ease with which the Silver-Armored Mantis defeated the rioting second-level pet.

It's all equally easy.

But Su Quan is a captain-level figure in the Investigation Department. You should know that there are less than ten captains in the Investigation Department, and all of them are mid-level beastmasters.

Originally, he just wanted Su Quan to test Chen Yuan's strength. After all, the latter was just a forest ranger. Although he had excellent talent, his combat experience was definitely far inferior to the former.

But within just a few minutes, the battle situation had changed dramatically.

The Silver-Armored Mantis was no match for the Flame Cloud Falcon.

Zhou Xu's eyes kept shifting between the two of them, his thoughts fluctuating, and he whispered, "This is not a difference in command or tactics."

"It's a real gap in hard power."

The combat power displayed by the Flame Cloud Falcon is undoubtedly much better than that of the Silver Armored Mantis.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jianping, ready to express his thoughts, but saw that the latter was staring at Chen Yuan intently, with the corners of his mouth rising slightly involuntarily.

Zhou Xu did not speak, but Wang Jianping murmured: "If he maintains this rate of progress, it won't be long before our association will be honored by him."

"No." Wang Jianping shook his head. "We are already honored by him."

"I lost." Su Quan came back to his senses. He quickly walked to the Silver-Armored Mantis, took the healing ointment from Xiao Tao's hand, and applied it on it himself.

This healing ointment is expensive and can effectively and quickly treat a variety of injuries.

Su Quan's movements were extremely gentle and careful, not missing any charred part.

at the same time,

Chen Yuan also used the ointment Xiao Tao handed to Huo Hua to heal his wounds, and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Huo Hua. You did a great job this time."

As a qualified beast tamer, you must maximize the emotional value of your pet.

"Chirp~"

Sparks felt the coolness of the ointment on her wings while rubbing Chen Yuan's cheek affectionately.

At this time, Su Quan had already applied the ointment and put the silver-armored mantis back into the pet space to rest.

In the pet space, the pet's injuries will recover at a faster rate.

He walked slowly towards Chen Yuan and stretched out his right hand. A smile appeared on his calm face. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Su Quan, the captain of the seventh team of the investigation department."

Chen Yuan shook hands: "Chen Yuan, currently a forest ranger."

The moment he heard the word "forest ranger", Su Quan raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Forest ranger?"

Without waiting for Chen Yuan to respond, he adjusted his confused thoughts and said his real purpose: "Chen Yuan, are you interested in joining the Investigation Department?"

"I can introduce you directly. As long as your identity information is correct, I guarantee that you will become the captain directly."

Chen Yuan was stunned.

Olive branch again?
At this time, Wang Jianping coughed heavily, walked up to the two of them with big strides, and said slowly: "Captain Su, I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations."

Su Quan grinned: "President Wang, you should know better than me that the rules are for mediocre people. An extremely outstanding talent like Chen Yuan can completely ignore all the rules."

Wang Jianping frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan is now the consultant of our Baokun City Beast Tamer Association, and also serves as a forest ranger, so he cannot join the Investigation Department."

He suddenly regretted asking Su Quan to help test Chen Yuan's strength.

Su Quan waved his hand and said, "These are not problems. Our investigation department can help solve them."

After that, he stared at Chen Yuan closely, his eyes burning: "Chen Yuan, with the talent and strength you have shown so far, you can enjoy the highest standard of training in the Investigation Department, which will allow you to grow at a faster pace."

"I'm sorry, Captain Su, I have no idea about joining the investigation department for the time being. I just hope..." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and expressed his wish to stay in the mountains.

"That's a pity." Su Quan secretly sighed, and then handed over a business card under Wang Jianping's gaze, "Here is my contact information. If you change your mind, contact me immediately."

"We, the entire investigation department, welcome a genius like you to join us."

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Wang Jianping nod slightly, he took the business card and said, "Okay."

"President Wang, I'll be leaving first." Su Quan waved at the three people, turned and left the battle room.

Chen Yuan hurriedly said, "Captain Su, please wait."

Hearing this, Wang Jianping's face changed slightly, he clenched his fists, and an inexplicable tension surged in his heart.

Captain Su turned around and smiled: "Have you changed your mind?"

"No, I want to take a closer look at your silver-armored mantis." Chen Yuan shook his head.

Su Quan: “?”

After a while,
After Su Quan left, Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Wang Jianping and reiterated: "President, I will not leave Qinling."

Wang Jianping glanced at Chen Yuan and said in a complicated tone: "In fact, Captain Su is right. The Investigation Department is a good choice. The training strength is greater than that of the Association, but..."

He paused and sighed, "They carry out the most dangerous missions."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

"But it's definitely a good idea to build good relationships with them. You will definitely have opportunities to interact with them in the future."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Wang Jianping saw Chen Yuan's expression change, and changed the subject at the right time, "We will upload this battle video to the headquarters now, and it will probably be approved in no time."

"It's getting late, let's have dinner together today."

"It's in the restaurant on the fifth floor." Chen Yuan nodded: "Sorry to bother you, President."

"How can this be considered a disturbance?" Wang Jianping patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "I also have to thank you for bringing two big surprises to the association."

Chen Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Xu suddenly said, "President, Captain Su sent me a message asking me to send him the battle video."

Wang Jianping said, “Send it to him. I guess he’ll take it back for review.”

"Forget about him. Xiaoxu, upload the video. I'll take Consultant Chen to the restaurant first."

Sitting in the back seat of the SUV, Su Quan operated the laptop and forwarded the battle video sent by Zhou Xu to the contact marked as "Boss".

At the same time, he sent a message: "Boss, are you busy? Help me analyze the strength of this Flame Cloud Falcon."

Boss: “1.”

Seeing the reply, Su Quan closed his eyes and quietly recalled the previous battle scene.

After a while, his forehead was covered with sweat.

There was no mistake in his command from beginning to end. At most, after the Silver Mantis hit the Flame Cloud Falcon with the "Charge Blade", he hesitated for a moment whether to pursue the victory.

After all, this was just a battle to test one's skills, and the head of the other association was watching from the side.

But apart from this detail, he made no other mistakes.

Su Quan did not think that this detail led to his failure. Even if he pursued the victory and achieved results, he could not directly make the enemy lose its combat capability.

On the contrary, the combat power of the Flame Cloud Falcon is obviously much higher than that of the Silver Armored Mantis, so every attack is extremely deadly.

Just as he was reviewing the situation, his phone rang with a message and he immediately opened his eyes.

Boss: "There are only two reasons why you lose a battle."

"First, the proficiency of the skills used by the Flame Cloud Falcon is extremely high, and the Flame Surge is close to the mastery level. Moreover, it seems that it has consumed a lot of cultivation resources, and the power of its fire-type moves is far beyond ordinary."

"Secondly, steel-attributed pets are at a natural disadvantage against fire-attributed pets."

Su Quan nodded silently. These were the two important reasons he thought of.

The boss said: "Who is this person? Can he be recruited into our department? We can promise him a position as a team leader and give him the highest level of training."

Su Quan sent a message with a wry smile: "Boss, don't even think about it. I'm just a forest ranger and I just want to stay in the mountains."

Boss: “?”

Friday, January 9th.

The weather is cloudy.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes dazedly, subconsciously reached out for the phone under the pillow, pressed the unlock button, and the dazzling light made him squint.

After a while, a text message popped up:
[Dear Mr. Chen Yuan, congratulations on passing the intermediate beastmaster certification. From now on, you are the 88th intermediate beastmaster of the Donghuang Beastmaster Association headquarters. I wish you a bright future as a beastmaster.

In recognition of your outstanding contribution, you will receive 500 contribution points.

——Headquarters of Donghuang Beast Tamer Association】

Five hundred contribution points!
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he opened the Beast Tamer official website:
【Name】：Chen Yuan
【Age】：25
[Level]: Intermediate Beast Tamer

【Association】: Baokun City Beast Tamer Association
【Contribution value】：766
Adding the remaining contribution points from before and the contribution points that continue to be obtained as required for the advancement of Yanyun Falcon, Chen Yuan’s current total contribution points have exceeded 700, which is enough to purchase two level 3 resources.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu called:

"I have received a notification that you have become a mid-level beastmaster."

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled: "I saw the news too."

"Congratulations, you are the first mid-level beastmaster in Baokun City." Zhou Xu's tone was full of smiles.

After a brief pause, he continued, "But the second intermediate beastmaster should appear soon."

"The second one?" Chen Yuan asked.

Zhou Xu nodded and replied: "Our association currently has two consultants, one is you, and the other consultant is expected to become a mid-level beastmaster soon."

"He's much older than you, but he's very talented as a beastmaster. He's the first beastmaster in Baokun City to successfully meditate."

"He's a very proud person, and he has a strong desire to win. If he knew that you became a mid-level beastmaster before him, his reaction would probably be very intense."

"What is the name of this consultant?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Shi Gang."

Chen Yuan said: "It sounds like a very tough name."

Zhou Xu said faintly: "He's a fitness expert, his arms are thicker than our thighs."

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and changed the subject, "I heard that there is another talented beastmaster in Baokun City, his name is Zhuang Jianbai."

Zhou Xu waved his hand: "This is just a genius beastmaster in the open. The real geniuses are like you. Although they are not well known to outsiders, their talents are far superior to the former."

Chen Yuan was a little flattered by Zhou Xu's flattery. He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Zhou, you flatter me too much."

Zhou Xu shook his head: "Currently, the most outstanding beastmasters are gathered in three places. One is the Investigation Department, the second is the Beastmaster Academy headquarters, and the third is the Beastmaster Associations in various places."

"You are the most exceptional one."

"A ranger in the mountains."
