Forest Guardian: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Beast Tamer

"Very good, another Source Point acquired."

Looking at the data panel that appeared out of thin air, Chen Yuan's face lit up with joy.

This Steel-head Groundhog's quality is the same as Spark's, but its level and skill proficiency are inferior, no wonder it couldn't withstand Spark's attacks.

Indeed, with the system's blessing, coupled with a little effort, Spark's combat power is currently far ahead.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan looked at the surrounding wasteland and said to the Steel-head Groundhog, "Your task from now on is to cultivate this wasteland."

"Kacha."

The Steel-head Groundhog nodded.

"If you don't understand anything, ask my grandpa," Chen Yuan added.

"Kacha."

The Steel-head Groundhog glanced at Chen Weiyi with a guilty conscience, and when it noticed the latter's scrutinizing gaze, it immediately shrank its neck.

Chen Yuan chuckled: "Don't be afraid, as long as you work hard, you can live here as long as you want, no one will bother you."

"Kacha ~"

The Steel-head Groundhog's dark eyes darted around, perhaps sensing Chen Yuan's goodwill, and slowly nodded.

"However..." Chen Yuan looked at the dark hole again, his tone changing, "Don't dig tunnels under this wasteland, you have to find another place."

Cultivating the wasteland does require the Steel-head Groundhog's help in turning the soil, but after all that is done, if the Steel-head Groundhog continues to live underground, it will affect the stability of the soil layer.

After all, the Steel-head Groundhog is too large.

"Kacha"

The Steel-head Groundhog heard this, widened its bewildered eyes, and stared blankly at Chen Yuan.

"Hmm..." Chen Yuan looked around, and finally chose the ground on the left side of the wasteland as the Steel-head Groundhog's nest.

"Kacha kacha kacha."

The Steel-head Groundhog readily agreed.

For the Steel-head Groundhog, who spent its days hiding, where it lived was not important, as long as it had a stable and safe nest.

While the Steel-head Groundhog was digging a new hole, Chen Yuan moved a pile of vegetables that he didn't usually like to eat from the kitchen and placed them aside.

"Kacha!"

The Steel-head Groundhog poked its head out of the newly dug hole, sniffed with its nose, and suddenly widened its eyes, its eyes shining with unprecedented brilliance.

It darted out, ran to the vegetables in two or three steps, its inconspicuous Adam's apple bobbing as it stared blankly ahead.

After a while,

it cautiously stretched out its paw, first pointing to the pile of vegetables in front of it, and then pointing to itself.

Chen Yuan understood what it meant and nodded with a smile: "These are all yours."

"As long as you work hard, you can eat as much as you want."

Chen Weiyi, who was beside him, heard this, and the right hand holding the smoking pipe trembled slightly.

"Kid, I'm not saying that your approach is wrong, but..."

Chen Yuan understood the old man's concerns and smiled softly: "Grandpa, times have changed."

"These vegetables are not worth mentioning compared to a transcendent creature."

"But if there's a pile of vegetables every day..." Chen Weiyi hesitated.

Chen Yuan's smile remained unchanged: "Grandpa, it can not only help you with work, but also help guard the house."

"Think about it, our Xuanhe Village is in the Qinling Mountains, and in the future, there may be conflicts with the transcendent creatures in the mountains."

"With it here, our farm will be much safer."

"There's also some truth to that," Chen Weiyi's eyes flickered, his weathered eyes revealing contemplation.

The old man didn't not understand these principles, but his mindset was difficult to change for a while, and he couldn't make the right choice.

Dusk was vast.

Chen Yuan lay on the rocking chair, enjoying the caress of the breeze while browsing the online information.

As in the morning, the internet was flooded with reports about the world's changes, and Chen Yuan even found many discussions about "Beast Tamers" and "Transcendent Creatures."

Obviously, the authorities did not prevent the spread of this information.

Spark perched on Chen Yuan's shoulder, its blue eyes quietly gazing at the setting sun sinking towards the distant forest, the flames of its feathers reflecting the sunset glow.

Cola chased butterflies fluttering in the grass, the breeze flowing around it, making it faster and faster, as if its entire body was integrated into the breeze.

During the meal, Chen Weiyi marveled at Cola's evolution, even feeling unfamiliar.

But when he saw Cola gobbling down food, so full that it lay on the ground hiccupping, and saw Cola following behind him wagging its tail, he felt that Cola was still the same Cola.

Evolution reshaped its body, but it did not change its soul.

As for the Steel-head Groundhog, after it finished digging its hole, it couldn't wait to take the vegetables and burrow inside, and it hasn't come out yet.

No one is wrong, one song, one first, one inside, one content, one is in one look!

That's right, groundhogs are nocturnal creatures, and the Steel-head Groundhog is obviously the same.

Chen Yuan stayed in the yard until the moonlight洒落, before returning to the bedroom to prepare to meditate.

Almost at the same time, the jade pendant on his chest glowed faintly, and a light and lively voice rang in his ear:

"Chen Yuan, good evening!"

"Good evening to you too," Chen Yuan poured his mental power into the jade pendant, and a glowing speck appeared before his eyes.

"How was your day?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile.

"Cough cough," Jiang Wenning cleared her throat, a bright smile appearing on her face, "Today I officially became a member of the first class of the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy."

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Chen Yuan said, "From now on, I am a netizen of the first class of the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy."

"Hahahaha!"

Jiang Wenning laughed carelessly, and then said, "Don't worry, although there are only two hundred students in the first class, I heard that the school has already begun preparing for the admission of the second and third classes, and it will be your turn soon."

Chen Yuan remained noncommittal and just smiled.

"By the way, although school hasn't officially started today, I learned a lot of information from the teacher."

"I'm all ears."

"Well, transcendent creatures are divided into wood, water, fire, earth, steel, poison, wind, and other attributes, and the attributes follow the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint."

Chen Yuan's mind moved: "For example, water restrains fire?"

"That's right," Jiang Wenning nodded lightly, her voice bright, "My glutinous rice is an ice attribute, which is restrained by the fire attribute."

"But the teacher also said that attribute restraint is not the only factor that determines the outcome of pet battles, the quality of the pet, skill proficiency, physical fitness, and the beast tamer's command will all affect pet battles."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "This should be the difference between reality and the game."

"In the game, attribute restraint and values can largely determine the outcome of the battle."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Wenning nodded with a smile, "That's how it is!"

The two chatted for a while through the jade pendant until Jiang Wenning yawned and said, "I'm too tired today, I need to rest first."

"Okay."

"Chen Yuan, the authorities will soon make the Beast Taming Academy public and recruit talented beast tamers from the whole society."

"With your talent, joining the Beast Taming Academy is very simple."

"I'll wait for you to come to the Beast Taming Academy, your sister will protect you!"

Chen Yuan laughed dumbly: "I'll try my best."
