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

The moonlight was hazy, and the mountains and forests were silent.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, assuming a meditative posture, exhaling a long breath, and slowly closing his eyes.

Coke in the corner and the Electric Flying Cat curled up beside it were staring at each other, their eyes constantly clashing, but neither dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Chen Yuan on the bed and Spark, who was resting with his eyes closed on the other side.

“Aww.”

Coke stared, its eyes showing a hint of displeasure towards the Electric Flying Cat.

How hateful.

This was its spot!

However, Chen Yuan saw that the Electric Flying Cat had performed well today and was no longer hiding in various dark corners, so he allowed it to enter the room to sleep.

As a result, Coke, which was a whole circle bigger, suffered.

This place was already small, and with the slightly bloated Electric Flying Cat, it was like two burly men squeezed into a dressing room, and each other's breathing could be heard clearly.

In fact, Chen Yuan had already noticed this problem and decided to build some small nests for the little guys for Coke's sleep quality.

Iron Head Baby and others could dig holes to stay in their nests, and Runrun Duck could even sleep directly on the water surface, but the Electric Flying Cat needed a stable small nest.

Chen Yuan's initial idea was to build a tree house in the yard.

There was a tall and straight camphor tree in the yard, which could completely support the tree house.

Anyway, the Electric Flying Cat could fly, making it convenient to go up and down.

Moreover, being away from the ground provided both privacy and security, making it simply a dream love nest.

But tonight, Coke would have to suffer for the time being.

His thoughts gradually drifted, and the jade pendant on his chest bloomed with fluorescent light. Two bright spots appeared in his vision, and a light and sweet voice sounded: “Good evening, Orange, Watermelon.”

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled: “Good evening, Pomelo, and Watermelon.”

“Good evening, both of you.” Listening to the two greeting each other, Li Junyue was still overwhelmed by the strong sense of shame in his heart and couldn't naturally say his code name.

Orange, Pomelo, Watermelon, it didn't sound like a mature code name that an adult should take.

“Orange, the Beast Taming Mall has officially launched. Remember to buy any spiritual plants you need quickly, lest they be swept away.” Jiang Wenning was always the first to start a conversation.

Chen Yuan took over the topic: “I already bought them, thank you for reminding me.”

“That's good.” Jiang Wenning nodded first, then frowned slightly, her tone slightly complaining, “It's so annoying, these resources can only be purchased with contribution points, but contribution points are too difficult to obtain.”

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself: “Is it difficult? I don't feel it.”

Li Junyue pursed his lips and whispered: “Is there any stable way to obtain contribution points?”

He also noticed this Beast Taming Shop today. He glanced at it roughly and saw that many resources inside were useful to his pet beasts.

But... they were too expensive.

However, his current contribution points were only in the single digits, and he urgently needed a stable way to obtain contribution points.

Jiang Wenning counted her fingers and slowly said: “First, do tasks; second, upload advancement conditions or discover new pet beasts; third, work in the Beast Taming Association or a special institution, and you can receive fixed contribution points every month, which is equivalent to a salary.”

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

As a consultant to the Baokun City Beast Taming Association, he currently receives contribution points every month in addition to a fixed salary, but the specific amount is temporarily unknown.

Li Junyue automatically ignored the first two points, looked thoughtful, and whispered: “My profession is relatively special, so I probably can't transfer to the Beast Taming Association.”

Jiang Wenning said: “May I ask what your profession is?”

Chen Yuan was also curious.

Li Junyue had communicated with them several times, but he was relatively silent and cautious in his words, revealing very little information.

Li Junyue was silent for a long time, but when he looked up at the dark bedroom at the end of the corridor, his eyes flickered like fireflies, and he said in a deep voice: “Police officer.”

Chen Yuan suddenly understood. No wonder Li Junyue was so careful after meeting them.

Everything had the most reasonable explanation.

Jiang Wenning wasn't surprised at all. She propped her chin with one hand and pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: “There really is a special institution that is very suitable for you.”

“The Arrest Department.”

Li Junyue's pupils shrank slightly, and he murmured: “The Arrest Department.”

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully. He had heard of this organization a long time ago.

“Yes, it's the Arrest Department.” Jiang Wenning nodded lightly, her voice still sweet, “As far as I know, the Arrest Department is under the police system, and its function is to handle and resolve incidents related to extraordinary creatures.”

“Excellent graduates of the Beast Taming Academy can apply to join the Arrest Department, and outstanding employees in the police system are also eligible, but it will be more difficult.”

“Joining the Arrest Department means you still belong to the police system. The change in organizational relationship won't be too troublesome, and the subsequent development space will be much, much larger.”

Chen Yuan said: “Pomelo, how do you know everything?”

Jiang Wenning raised her head slightly, a hint of pride in her dark eyes, but her answer was exceptionally modest: “No, I just pay more attention to these things usually.”

“Thank you, I'll remember it.” Li Junyue nodded deeply, firmly imprinting the name of the Arrest Department in his heart.

“Speaking of which, I have something big to tell you.” Jiang Wenning suddenly remembered something important, and her delicate face became slightly serious.

Chen Yuan and Li Junyue immediately held their breath and focused.

“The first Donghuang Beast Taming Master Competition is being prepared.”

Chen Yuan: “Huh?”

Li Junyue: “?”

Jiang Wenning smiled slightly, her originally serious face showing a smile: “It's just a Beast Taming Master battle. The Beast Taming Association is preparing to gather the most powerful Beast Taming Masters together to compete and determine the strongest.”

Chen Yuan nodded suddenly, and said calmly: “So that's how it is.”

Li Junyue said indifferently: “Sounds good.”

Jiang Wenning's expression froze, and then she looked puzzled and said: “Shouldn't you be clamoring to participate in the competition and become the strongest after hearing about this?”

Li Junyue said: “Busy with work, busy with life, can't find the time.”

Chen Yuan said: “Busy with farming, no time.”

Jiang Wenning and Li Junyue both looked at the spot in the middle, both with blank faces.

Are there still young people farming these days?

Chen Yuan guessed the reaction of the two and explained with a smile: “Actually, I am a forest ranger, and I usually help my grandfather with farming.”

The two nodded in understanding, and Jiang Wenning became even more interested and asked: “Forest ranger? Sounds amazing, are you patrolling in the mountains all day?”

Chen Yuan said: “I guess so.”

“Which mountain? Have I heard of it?” Jiang Wenning continued to ask.

“Qinling.”

The two: “?”

Jiang Wenning curled her lips and said: “It's not like I don't know, Qinling is not a single mountain, but a mountain range, which includes many, many mountains.”

“If you are a forest ranger in Qinling, it would take several months just to patrol Qinling.”

Li Junyue agreed and nodded.

Chen Yuan shrugged, but did not explain further.
