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

"Hehe, lucky me. There happened to be a Flame Fruit tree in that forest, and the Flame Cloud Falcon's skill proficiency just happened to reach the Skilled level."

"Everything was just right."

After listening to Chen Yuan's explanation, Chen Wenhao fell into a long silence. After a long while, he said, "Brother, this isn't just luck, it's because you have an extremely outstanding Beast Master talent."

"You should join the Beast Master Academy."

Chen Yuan stretched and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, I still need to stay home and take care of Grandpa."

Hearing Chen Yuan's answer, Chen Wenhao wanted to say something, but in the end, all his words turned into a long sigh.

Chen Yuan stopped pursuing the topic and instead said, "By the way, I bought the advancement conditions for the Gale Hound today. It says it needs Wind Whisper Grass. Do you know where to find that stuff?"

"Wind Whisper Grass?" Chen Wenhao adjusted his glasses, pondered for a moment, and said, "We don't have Wind Whisper Grass here. Even if we did, it would only appear in small areas and be extremely difficult to find."

After a slight pause, he said unhurriedly, "Brother, you don't have to go looking for it yourself. You can just buy it."

"Buy it directly?" Chen Yuan was stunned.

"Yes." Chen Wenhao said slowly, "The Beast Master Association is already preparing to establish a Beast Merchant City. When that happens, you can directly purchase things online with contribution points."

"And Beast Shops will be opened everywhere, where you can buy things directly with cash."

"How long until the online store is up?" Chen Yuan asked.

Chen Wenhao shook his head: "Brother, I'm not an internal member of the Association."

"It's okay, I'll ask someone else." At this time, Chen Yuan thought of Zhou Xu, the clerk of the Beast Master Association in Baokun City.

"By the way, I heard that the Beast Master Academy is divided into several departments. Which department are you in?" Chen Yuan asked.

"The Research Department, which studies extraordinary creatures."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "What are their plans for you guys?"

Chen Wenhao replied, "We can graduate after studying for half a year, and then choose a development path based on our own situation."

"We can stay at the school as teachers or go to research institutes, or we can take positions at Beast Master Associations in various places."

"Then do you have any ideas yet?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Not yet, I'll take it one step at a time."

After hanging up the phone, seeing that it was still early, Chen Yuan dialed Zhou Xu's number.

"Brother Zhou, may I ask you something? Are there any channels to purchase spirit plants right now?" Chen Yuan asked.

A voice mixed with a smile slowly sounded: "Isn't that a coincidence? The Association headquarters is preparing the Beast Merchant City, which will be online in two days. You can buy any spirit plants you want then."

"They'll be delivered directly to your home."

"Do you need any spirit plants now?"

Chen Yuan replied, "Wind Whisper Grass."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you." Zhou Xu said.

"Thanks, Brother Zhou." Chen Yuan felt relieved.

"It's nothing. You're also a member of our Association. Just ask if you have any questions." Zhou Xu smiled slightly.

"That's perfect, there's a problem that's been bothering me for a long time." Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked the question that had been puzzling him for a long time, "Why does the Association have so much extraordinary knowledge so soon after the Spirit Qi Recovery began?"

After a slight pause, he added, "If it involves confidential information, just pretend I didn't ask, haha."

Brother Zhou groaned, then whispered, "It does involve confidential information, but I can tell you one thing."

"Actually, this isn't the first Spirit Qi Recovery."

September 3rd, Tuesday.

The weather is sunny.

"It's actually not the first Spirit Qi Recovery..."

Until early the next morning, Chen Yuan's mind was still echoing Zhou Xu's shocking answer, and he drew many guesses based on this answer.

He could confirm one thing: there was no relevant record of Spirit Qi Recovery in various historical materials, obviously the government had deliberately concealed this matter.

When was the last Spirit Qi Recovery?

Is the relevant information unlocked now left over from that time?

"This jade pendant should be a product of the last Spirit Qi Recovery." Chen Yuan stroked the cold jade pendant and muttered.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yuan shook his head and stopped paying attention to this matter.

These things would not affect him, far away in Xuanhe Village.

Regaining his thoughts, Chen Yuan quickly got up, while waking up the soundly sleeping Cola, and walked out of the bedroom.

Taking Cola out of the yard, Chen Yuan saw two familiar figures fighting fiercely.

Gray Feather Falcon and Spark.

It's just that the process is still miserable. Gray Feather Falcon is being unilaterally beaten, without any resistance, and quickly loses.

It's just that after this defeat, Gray Feather Falcon didn't fly away as usual.

It chose to stay by Spark's side, cheekily asking Spark how to become stronger.

Spark answered the questions lightly, with a very aloof expression, but Gray Feather Falcon didn't feel neglected at all, completely acting like a younger brother.

"It's been awakened by the beating." Chen Yuan chuckled.

The previous Gray Feather Falcon was particularly stubborn and would challenge Spark again and again until it couldn't get up.

Now it's like it's been beaten into submission, and it's even taking the initiative to ask how to become stronger. That ingratiating look even makes Cola frown.

Chen Yuan smiled, led Cola through the yard, and quickly walked to the fish pond.

Runrun Duck was sticking its butt up, sleeping soundly in the fish pond.

"Awoo~"

Seeing its new friend, Cola couldn't help but bark, waking Runrun Duck.

"Ga"

Runrun Duck opened its hazy eyes, glanced at Cola sleepily, twisted its full butt, changed its position, and continued to sleep.

"Awoo" Cola was immediately silent.

"Even more sleepy than you." Chen Yuan looked at Cola quietly, always feeling that the subsequent development of his farm was not very good.

Cola plus Duck Duck, can this farm still get better?

Fortunately, it didn't wait too long, Runrun Duck woke up again, it rubbed its head, tidied up its fluffy hairstyle, and looked at the man and the pet.

Chen Yuan asked, "Are you satisfied with the new environment?"

"Ga ga."

Runrun Duck nodded first, then quickly shook its head.

Chen Yuan was stunned: "What are you not satisfied with?"

Runrun Duck looked back at the fish pond, quickly scanned left and right, and pointed in all directions, shaking its head: "Ga ga ga."

This place is not good-looking, too monotonous.

And there are no stones to bask in the sun.

Because the Duck Duck's expression was intense, and it gestured with its hands, Chen Yuan actually understood its meaning.

He put his hand on his chin and pondered for a while, then agreed: "You're right, it is a bit monotonous and not very good-looking."

Even an ordinary fish pond should be well built.

"We can plant some trees around the fish pond, which can provide shade in the summer; then add some flowers and plants for simple decoration."

"Stones are simple, I'll pull a few back later."

Chen Yuan quickly had an idea, waved to Runrun Duck and said: "I will solve these problems one by one, you come over here first."

Runrun Duck swaggered over.

Chen Yuan reached out and patted its head, with a smile on his face: "Your hairstyle is indeed very fluffy, like a ball of cotton."

Runrun Duck gave him a disgusted look and carefully tidied up its hairstyle again.
