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

September 21st, Saturday.

Sunny.

As the first ray of sunlight pierced through the window and into the room, Iron Head slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing his little companions still fast asleep, Iron Head tiptoed out of bed, cautiously pushed open the door, and stepped into the courtyard.

The torrential rain had subsided, and the sunlight was gentle.

Iron Head looked ahead, the courtyard was full of traces of devastation from the wind and rain, a complete mess.

"Crack."

Iron Head's eyes flickered, deciding to do something.

He stepped forward, clearing the broken branches and fallen leaves on the ground into a corner. After completing this step, Iron Head began to patrol each area of the farm, confirming there were no safety hazards.

At nine in the morning, Chen Yuan woke up.

He couldn't help but stretch, squinting his eyes to look out the window: "The rain stopped."

This torrential rain had lasted a whole night. Fortunately, unlike the previous continuous rain that lasted for seven days, it stopped early in the morning, which wouldn't affect more.

But when Chen Yuan took out his phone to look, he found the internet flooded with reports about this rainstorm:

【Global Rainstorm, Is it a Sign of a Major Event?】

【The Second Spiritual Qi Revival is Coming, Please Everyone Be Prepared!】

"Global again?" Chen Yuan frowned slightly, only then realizing that he had been misled by the news last night.

He thought this rainstorm was only limited to Baokun City, but he didn't expect it to be global again.

Moreover, he was physically and mentally exhausted after returning home last night and didn't pay attention to the online information, falling asleep shortly after finishing dinner.

"Then in that case, this rainstorm is quite strange."

"The last continuous seven days marked the beginning of the spiritual qi revival."

"So what about this time?"

"Could it really be a second spiritual qi revival?"

Various thoughts flashed by, and Chen Yuan shook his head, deciding not to dwell on these issues.

Professional problems should be left to professionals to handle.

His current task was to check the farm situation after the rainstorm.

Getting dressed and getting out of bed, he came to the hall. The three little guys who loved to sleep in were still snoring, but Dou Dou Chicken and the cubs were nowhere to be seen.

Chen Weiyi smiled slightly: "I tried to meditate after getting up just now, but I didn't expect to succeed."

After a slight pause, he felt the obviously different body, and said with emotion: "So this is how it feels to become a Beast Master."

Since he got older, Chen Weiyi had no major illnesses, but small problems would pop up from time to time, and his energy was far worse than when he was young.

He hadn't experienced this kind of refreshing feeling for many years.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Grandpa, you haven't contracted a pet beast yet, so you can't be considered a real Beast Master."

The old man had been trying to meditate for several days, but he didn't expect to succeed after a rainstorm.

"Grandpa, what kind of pet beast do you want to contract?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

Chen Weiyi shook his head and said with a smile: "This matter is not urgent, let's take a look slowly."

Chen Yuan nodded.

The old man was old, and he certainly wouldn't be as enthusiastic about pet beast battles as young Beast Masters. The pet beast he contracted should be gentle in nature and have enough strength to protect him.

If possible, it would be best to have a mount pet beast that could carry the old man around.

Chen Yuan secretly paid attention to this matter and began to check the farm situation after the rainstorm.

He looked around, but saw that the two tall Liuming fruit trees still stood in the courtyard, with more lush branches and leaves, seemingly unaffected by the wind and rain.

And the Yan Yan fruit tree next to it...

Wait.

It seems to be taller?

Chen Yuan rubbed his eyes and looked again - the original Yan Yan fruit tree, which was just over two meters tall, had exceeded three meters, and more branches and leaves had emerged.

At the same time,

Chen Yuan keenly noticed that many seedlings had appeared in the field next to him. After counting carefully, there were eighteen seedlings in total.

Every time he finished eating the Liuming fruit, he would plant the fruit core, but unfortunately, not every fruit core could germinate successfully.

But now, most of the fruit cores seem to have germinated.

Now, in this field, there are two mature Liuming fruit trees, one Yan Yan fruit tree in the growth stage, one Yan Yan fruit tree seedling, and seventeen Liuming fruit tree seedlings.

If they all mature, these tall trees will occupy the entire field. From a distance, it will look like a small forest.

In that case, how many fruits will he harvest? How many contribution points can be exchanged?

Chen Yuan was instantly dizzy from the joy of the spiritual plants sprouting. When he came back to his senses, he murmured: "The case is solved, there is definitely something wrong with this rainstorm."

"Could it really be a second spiritual qi revival?"

"Cluck cluck cluck ~"

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking, a familiar cry sounded in his ear. He ran in the direction of the sound, only to find that Dou Dou Chicken was leading the chicks, looking at the collapsed chicken coop, at a loss.

The wind and rain last night did not have a big impact on the farm, but the simple chicken coop covered with tarpaulin still collapsed.

Chen Yuan said: "It's okay, I'll build you a new nest."

The previous chicken coop was indeed too simple. Dou Dou Chicken is already a transcendent creature, so the living environment must be improved.

Chen Yuan thought for a while and prepared to replace it with a rain shelter, at least one that could withstand the wind.

This project obviously takes a little time, Chen Yuan waved to Dou Dou Chicken: "You go for a walk first, I will try to finish it as soon as possible."

"Cluck ~"

Dou Dou Chicken nodded slightly, leading the chicks to turn around and leave.

Chen Yuan then noticed that the chicks behind Dou Dou Chicken had also changed - all of them had round bodies, covered with light yellow fur.

Wait a minute.

There are no ordinary chicks anymore, all of them have become Dou Dou Chicken cubs?

Chen Yuan quickly called Dou Dou Chicken to stop, strode forward, squatted down and carefully checked.

After a while,

Chen Yuan exhaled softly, with a smile on his face: "Okay, you go for a walk."

As he discovered, the original ordinary chicks seemed to have all evolved into Dou Dou Chicken cubs overnight, transforming from ordinary creatures into transcendent creatures with magical powers.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

In this way, all the creatures on the farm have become transcendent creatures.

With a thought, Chen Yuan summoned Spark from the pet beast space.

He looked directly at Spark and asked: "Spark, feel it, what changes have taken place in this world?"

Compared to humans, transcendent creatures should be able to perceive the changes in the world more directly.

"Chirp ~"

A hint of confusion flashed in Spark's eyes, but it chose to obey its Beastmaster's command, gently flapping its wings and flying upwards.

It circled the yard several times, the bright sunlight shining on its body, before Spark slowly landed on Chen Yuan's shoulder.

"Chirp chirp chirp."

"Do you like it better now, after the rain?"

"Chirp."

Spark nodded.

Spark couldn't accurately describe the specific changes in the world, but it could clearly feel that it preferred the current air, sunlight, and clouds.

Flying in the air, its mood and body were more cheerful.

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, silently taking out his phone.

When in doubt, ask my little brother.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Wenhao's voice slowly rang out: "Brother, this is a continuation of the last Spiritual Qi recovery."

Chen Yuan was stunned: "I haven't asked anything yet."

Chen Wenhao smiled slightly: "You're only calling about this right now."

Chen Yuan chuckled: "Indeed, you are the first top student in our Chen family."

Chen Wenhao didn't deny it, patiently explaining: "According to analysis, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the air is much higher than yesterday, but this rain only lasted one night, so it's temporarily considered a continuation of the last Spiritual Qi recovery."

"Like an earthquake and aftershocks?" Chen Yuan asked.

"You could think of it that way."

"Will this kind of situation happen again in the future?"

"Probably... not?" Chen Wenhao's tone was uncertain, he hesitated and said, "According to previous literature analysis, the Spiritual Qi recovery will be accompanied by a small continuation."

"After this continuation, the vast majority of ordinary creatures will evolve, and in the future, I'm afraid we'll only see ordinary creatures in the zoo."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, remembering the chicks that had evolved overnight.

"So this is a good thing?" he asked.

"You could say that," Chen Weiyi nodded and said, "The higher the Spiritual Qi concentration, the better the Beastmaster's meditation efficiency, and more ordinary people can become Beastmasters; the probability of Spiritual Plants appearing will also increase; and the speed at which pets improve their strength will also increase."

"No wonder Grandpa became a Beastmaster this morning," Chen Yuan nodded in realization.

And the sudden sprouting of the fruit pit also had a reasonable explanation.

"Grandpa has become a Beastmaster? That's great!" Chen Wenhao exclaimed in surprise, then sighed, "I don't know how much longer it will be before I can go home."

"Will you be busier and busier in the future?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Of course," Chen Wenhao scratched his thinning hair and sighed, "During this special period, there's almost no time to rest, I have to stay in the lab from morning till night."

"I have to find a chance to go out with my teacher to do research."

"Research?" Chen Yuan looked puzzled.

Chen Wenhao explained: "The strength of extraordinary creatures in the wild is generally not high right now, and the risk factor isn't as big as you'd think, so the teacher will take us deep into the wild to get up close and personal with pets and study them, while also collecting Spiritual Plant samples."

"It's not just us, the Beastmaster Association and many companies are doing similar things, trying to gain an advantage in this brand new era."

Unknowingly, the two chatted for a long time, until Chen Wenhao said: "I won't talk anymore, I have to go to the lab."

"You still have to go on Saturday?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

Chen Wenhao replied faintly: "Do beasts of burden get to choose what day it is?"

Chen Yuan: "."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan's mind was filled with a lot of newly received information, he let out a long breath: "No matter what, I'll build a chicken coop first."

He was just a small forest ranger, and he was already satisfied with being able to take care of the little guys on the farm.

Chen Yuan and the old man carried the colored steel tiles out of the warehouse. This blue roofing material is lightweight, earthquake-resistant, fireproof, rainproof, and has a long service life, and is used in many fields.

Compared to the tarpaulin, which would fall down with a gust of wind, the colored steel tiles could better shelter the DouDou chickens from wind and rain.

Moreover, the area where Xuanhe Village is located rarely experiences strong winds. If it weren't for the two rainstorms brought about by the Spiritual Qi recovery, the tarpaulin would have lasted for a long time.

The two worked together and soon fixed the colored steel tiles in place.

"Ga Ga ~"

Just as the two were sitting in the yard resting, the three lazy guys in the hall finally got up.

Runrun Duck swaggered out of the house. It squinted at the sun in the east, and the bright sunlight fell on its body, and a warm feeling spread throughout its body.

"Ga Ga Ga!"

It's Sunlight Duck!

Runrun Duck, who hadn't seen the sun for many days, was completely excited. It couldn't wait to lie on the big rock next to the fish pond to bask in the sun, but the eager mood was already on display, even though there was still some distance to go.

Runrun Duck, too lazy to move, simply lay on its back in the yard, staring straight at the sun in the sky, its body becoming more and more relaxed.

So comfortable, duck.

"Aow Aow ~"

Cola quickly rushed out of the house as well. Its reaction was not much different from Runrun Duck, but unlike Runrun Duck, which lay down directly, it ran around the farm.

Its figure was like a gust of wind, sometimes chasing fluttering butterflies, sometimes bounding around Chen Yuan.

"Diandian ~"

Diandian Flying Cat slowly walked out with sleepy eyes. The first thing it did when it came to the yard was to flap its wings and fly to its little tree house.

Closing the wooden door, Diandian Flying Cat instinctively curled up and lay on it.

The next moment, its body felt a chill, and Diandian Flying Cat shuddered and immediately widened its eyes.

"Diandian!"

Why is there water in the wooden house!

Not long after,

After listening to Diandian Flying Cat's complaint, Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Maybe the waterproofing wasn't done well."

"I'll redo it for you when I have time."

Without waiting for Diandian Flying Cat to respond, Chen Yuan looked the former up and down, squinted and said: "Have you been sticking to your diet these past two days while I was away from the farm?"

"Diandian ."

Feeling Chen Yuan's gaze, Diandian Flying Cat's eyes flickered. It wanted to hide back in the tree house, but Chen Yuan reached out and grabbed the back of its neck.

Chen Yuan said with a straight face: "The weather is so nice today, go exercise, go do some activities, don't just sleep from morning till night."

"Diandian!"

Hearing this, Diandian Flying Cat immediately stretched out its claws and pointed to Runrun Duck lying motionless on the ground.

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

"Ga Ga ~"

Noticing the two gazes, Runrun Duck didn't even raise its head, just waved its wings.

"That's right, and you, Duck Duck, get up and exercise too!"

"Didn't you want to bask in the sun? Then exercise in the sun."

"Ga Ga ~"

Runrun Duck didn't react strongly to Chen Yuan's words. It waved its wings casually, still lying quietly on the ground.

Mmm hmm hmm, what the farm owner said is right.

But Duck Duck, I just want to bask in the sun, duck.
