Runrun Duck and Steelhead Gopher's advancement ceremony went surprisingly smoothly.

They devoured the advancement resources and began advancing on the spot.

Several hours later, two powerful auras erupted almost simultaneously.

“Ga ga~”

Runrun Duck's body became more slender, its tail feathers extended like a fan, with a halo of water-blue light around the edges.

It gently flapped its wings, and the surface of the pond beside it rippled, each ripple containing healing power.

Water-type skill, Clear Ripple Wave.

Runrun Duck could create healing water waves with a flap of its wings, and any creature touched by the waves could slowly and continuously recover from injuries.

Chen Yuan mused: "The petals of the Twin Flower Concubine can only be used on a single target, but Runrun Duck's skill is a group skill."

Although the healing effect was slow, it would be very useful in combat.

With a thought, Chen Yuan summoned Runrun Duck's data panel:

【Race: Runrun Duck (Collected)

Attribute: Water

Level: 10 (Second Order)

Affection: 82

Skills: Water Surge (Proficient 1.3/7) + Water Arrow (Skilled 2.9/5) + Water Binding (Skilled 1.3/5) + Clear Ripple Wave (Basic 0.1/3) +

Quality: Leader

Conditions for Promotion to Morning Star Quality: Source Points Insufficient (3.6/20)】

With its strength breaking through to the Second Order and its quality improving to Leader, Runrun Duck's overall combat power had undergone earth-shattering changes.

In the vast farm, it was enough to be among the top three or four.

Iron Head also successfully advanced.

Its size increased by a circle, its iron skull gradually deformed, sharp serrations grew on the edges, and a row of shallow steel thorns rose on its back.

Iron Head's orange eyes became more intense, as if transforming from orange to gold, its pupils reflecting the cold light of metal.

Boom!

Iron Head, exuding a metallic texture, flashed its eyes, and its figure suddenly darted forward, crossing several meters in a short instant, and swung its raised front claws at a large rock not far away.

In an instant, cracks appeared on the stone.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Charge Blade."

He had seen this skill in the battle with the Silver Armor Mantis, and it had caused no small trouble to Spark.

He didn't expect that Iron Head would spontaneously awaken this skill after its quality was improved.

Quality: Leader

Requirements for Promotion to Morning Star Quality: Source Points Insufficient (3.6/20)】

"So, it seems that Runrun Duck is going to take the route of ranged output plus half support, and Iron Head is going to take the speed attack route," Chen Yuan stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

He had been studying various pet beast knowledge during this period and found that determining the pet beast's combat style was very important.

The combat style should be confirmed based on the pet beast's racial characteristics and its own skills.

For example, Spark, it had air superiority, so it didn't need to master too many close-range skills, it only needed to focus on ranged output methods.

Among the four skills currently mastered by Runrun Duck, two were ranged skills, one was a control skill, and one was a healing skill. In addition, Runrun Duck's personality was not suitable as a main attacker, but it was more suitable as a support.

Among the four skills mastered by Iron Head, except for [Iron Arm], the rest were close-range attack skills.

Iron Head was relatively agile, and now it had awakened [Charge Blade], it was obviously suitable for speed attack tactics.

A Charge Blade directly rushed to the opponent's face, followed by a Steel Blade hitting the opponent's head, and the battle would be declared over.

However, Chen Yuan was puzzled by one thing. Why could Runrun Duck and Iron Head awaken skills as soon as they advanced, but Spark and Cola couldn't?

He thought about it and guessed that Spark and Cola had a deeper foundation, and the difficulty of awakening skills was higher.

But no matter what, Runrun Duck and Iron Head successfully advanced, and the little guys happily congratulated them. Cola even suggested that Duck Duck go to Mingyu Lake to hunt spirit fish again tomorrow.

“Hou hou~”

The Meteor Horn Beast sincerely rejoiced for Duck Duck, moving its hooves back and forth.

As for the Meteor Horn Beast's combat style, it was undoubtedly a tank.

There were enough output hands on the farm, and it needed an indestructible tank to give the other pet beasts room to output.

“Dian dian.”

Only the Electric Flying Cat looked lonely, and the joyful atmosphere in the yard seemed out of place with it.

Chen Yuan keenly noticed this, squatted down, rubbed the Electric Flying Cat's fluffy head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you're next."

“Dian dian?”

The Electric Flying Cat suddenly raised its head, its round eyes gleaming in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"I'm not lying to you." Chen Yuan's smile grew even brighter.

The next goal was to advance the Electric Flying Cat and Doudou Chicken, and he could directly purchase the advancement conditions with contribution points.

The eggs laid by the Leader-quality Doudou Chicken should be more delicious, right?

“Dian dian!”

Hearing Chen Yuan's repeated confirmation, the Electric Flying Cat showed joy, and its slender tail wrapped around his wrist, rarely rubbing its head affectionately against his thigh.

After comforting the Electric Flying Cat, Chen Yuan stood up and looked at Runrun Duck and Iron Head: "Why don't you have a pet beast battle against each other."

“Duck Duck?”

Hearing this, Runrun Duck couldn't help but widen its eyes and pointed to itself with its wings.

Ah?

I'm going to fight Iron Head?

Duck Duck tilted its head slightly and saw Iron Head, whose body was glowing with metallic light and whose golden eyes were flashing with a dangerous aura, quietly staring at itself. It immediately shivered and shook its head frantically like a rattle drum.

But Chen Yuan's bewitching voice rang in its ears: "Don't you want to try how powerful you are now?"

"Aren't you even a little curious?"

"Duck Duck, don't you have any requirements for your own strength?"

Runrun Duck nodded subconsciously. It really had no requirements for its own strength, as long as it could stay safely on the farm and live a carefree life~

But it suddenly remembered what happened last night. It seemed that strength was also very important.

At this moment, two little ducks appeared in Runrun Duck's mind.

One duck was surrounded by black gas, its mouth crooked, making a disturbing sound.

One duck had a halo on its head, its whole body was holy and flawless, symbolizing its desirelessness and willingness to live a carefree life.

Just as the two little ducks were fighting each other, Cola had already bitten Runrun Duck's tail and dragged it towards the outside of the farm.

“Aooo!”

Fight fight!

For a time, all the little guys walked towards the outside, witnessing the great battle between Runrun Duck and Iron Head.

Iron Head became hesitant when it saw that they were going to fight outside the farm.

Chen Yuan knew Iron Head's concerns and said with a smile: "It's okay, we're just near the farm."

If a pet beast were to attack the farm at this time, it would face a group of Leader-quality Second Order pet beasts head-on.

“Ga ga!”

Runrun Duck was already panicked, flapping its wings and trying to go back, but it was held back by the little guys and couldn't escape.

“Ga ga.”

Duck Duck, I just want to live a carefree life!

A moment later, Runrun Duck and Iron Head faced each other from a distance, Chen Yuan and the little guys surrounded them, waiting for the fierce battle to begin.

At the same time,

Wu Peng and Zeng Hui carried fruit and milk towards the farm gate.

"Wu Peng, wouldn't it be bad for us to visit at this time?" Seeing the setting sun, Zeng Hui questioned the timing of their visit.

Who would climb a mountain to visit in the late afternoon?

Wu Peng waved his hand and explained with a smile: "I specifically thought about this matter."

"Consultant Chen came back in the early morning and had to deal with the aftermath of the Snow Cloud Wolf, so he must be busy for a long time."

"So he must have gotten up very late today."

"That is to say, Consultant Chen needs to rest during the day, and only has time to entertain us at night."

"And at this time, the villagers have already eaten dinner, so we won't be disturbing Consultant Chen by going over now."

Hearing this explanation, Zeng Hui seriously pondered for a moment: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two quickly walked to the gate, but the Steelhead Gopher who guarded the gate last night was nowhere to be seen. They shouted a few times but no one in the farm responded.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting gradually rose.

The two looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and they ran towards the direction from which the fighting sound came at the same time.

Before long,

A fierce battle came into view.

Runrun Duck stood by the quietly flowing stream, gently flapping its wings, three pentagram patterns appeared on its forehead, and streams of water quietly wrapped around Iron Head's ankles, then surged upwards, turning into a constantly rotating vortex of water, binding Iron Head in it.

Iron Head's eyes narrowed, three pentagrams also appeared on its forehead, and its sharp front claws suddenly slammed into the ground, and a steel blade broke out of the ground, actually cutting off the water flow in front of it.

At the same time, Iron Head borrowed the force to bounce up, turning into a silver-gray meteor and crashing straight into Runrun Duck's chest!

“Ga ga!”

Runrun Duck looked flustered, but instinctively leaned back, and the turbulent water column spewed out of its mouth tried to stop Iron Head.

Iron Head waved the sharp blade in front of it, and at the moment when the steel blade cut through the water column, Runrun Duck had already retreated several steps, and the tip of its beak threw out three [Water Arrows], clanging and hitting Iron Head's crossed arms.

A series of attacks was so wonderful that the two of them were excited.

After a while, Zeng Hui suddenly woke up: "Are there pet beasts attacking the farm again?"

Wu Peng noticed the details: "Is that a Leader-quality Runrun Duck?"

Suddenly, they saw Chen Yuan standing not far away, surrounded by a group of pet beasts. The two of them immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Consultant Chen, I'll help you!"

Chen Yuan turned around in confusion.

Wu Peng rolled up his sleeves, his eyes burning: "Consultant Chen, is this Runrun Duck going to attack the farm? Although my strength is not good, I can contribute."

Zeng Hui nodded repeatedly: "Me too."

Chen Yuan said in astonishment: "Ah?"

"Runrun Duck is going to attack the farm?"

Did Runrun Duck know about this?

The thought flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan explained: "You should have misunderstood. Runrun Duck and Steelhead Gopher are both pet beasts on the farm. They are sparring."

“?”

Wu Peng secretly swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling: "Consultant Chen, is this Leader-quality Runrun Duck also your pet beast?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "This child can help water the farm, so I let it stay."

Hearing this, Wu Peng felt dizzy for a while.

A Leader-quality Second Order Runrun Duck is used to water the farm?

Is this the background of the number one pet beast master in Baokun City?

No no no.

Wu Peng shook his head slightly, and many messages flashed through his mind.

"Watering is just a cover. Consultant Chen should be cultivating Runrun Duck and Steelhead Gopher at the same time."

"Using a Gu-raising method, whoever progresses faster and has stronger strength will become Consultant Chen's third pet."

"Wow, as expected of Consultant Chen, even the way he chooses pets is so extravagant."

Countless Beast Tamers yearn for a Commander-quality pet but cannot obtain one, yet here with Consultant Chen, it's readily available.

The number one Beast Tamer of Baokun City, without a doubt!

Wu Peng, who believed he understood Chen Yuan's thoughts, smiled and nodded at the latter, casting a meaningful glance: "Consultant Chen, I understand, I understand."

Chen Yuan: "?"

No, what do you understand again?

Subsequently, Wu Peng looked at Zeng Hui, who looked puzzled, and winked.

I'll tell you when we get back.

Zeng Hui nodded silently.

The intense battle on the field continued.

Ironhead Kid contracted its body, curling into an iron ball, with three inches of steel spikes suddenly growing on its surface, using the [Steel Spike Roller] to crush the ground, causing stone chips to fly everywhere.

This was the skill Ironhead Kid awakened after advancing to Elite quality—Steel Spike Roller.

Runrun Duck leaped into a small river nearby, its tail feathers rippling in circles, and the wave of healing quickly spread.

Chen Yuan muttered softly: "Duckie is really planning ahead."

Even though it hadn't been injured yet, Runrun Duck took the lead in using its healing skill.

No mistakes, one head start, one inside, one appearance, one is one!

Yes, very steady.

Runrun Duck had lived with Ironhead Kid on the farm for so long and was very clear about the latter's terrifying attack power.

Seeing Runrun Duck jump into the river, Ironhead Kid helplessly got up, and had to step forward, brandishing the sharp blade in front of it, the cold light straight at Runrun Duck!

Runrun Duck fluttered its wings, spinning to avoid the steel blade, the tip of its wings hitting the water surface with water arrows, grazing Ironhead Kid's head.

Bang bang bang!

The exploding water column drenched Ironhead Kid's entire body, its golden eyes flickering, [Charge Blade] wrapped in a sharp white glow, instantly approaching Runrun Duck, waving its blade!

"Quack quack!"

Runrun Duck cried out and retreated, trying to dive into the water to dodge, but the water was too shallow, most of its body entered, but its upturned butt was exposed outside.

The next moment, a burning pain came from its upturned butt, Runrun Duck quickly turned around, fluttering its wings, and vigorously slapped the water surface.

Strands of slender water flowed up from the water surface, turning into chains at an alarming speed, binding Ironhead Kid!

"So powerful."

Seeing the fierce battle, Wu Peng murmured.

Even without a Beast Tamer's command, the battle between the two pets was exceptionally fierce, the attacks coming wave after wave, with no chance to breathe.

If he faced any one of the pets, he would probably lose quickly.

"Is this Consultant Chen's alternate pet?" He exclaimed in his heart.

At this moment,

Runrun Duck took advantage of Ironhead Kid being restrained, and the water arrow it had been charging up howled out!

"Clang!"

Ironhead Kid crossed its steel arms, which gleamed with metallic light, and forcibly withstood the attack of the water arrow, while simultaneously swinging its steel blade, shattering the water flow.

Chen Yuan spoke in a timely manner: "Alright, let's stop here."

The two little guys, who were in a stalemate with each other, immediately stopped attacking, and the rippling water surface reflected the surging figures of the two.

Runrun Duck and Ironhead Kid were both panting heavily, looking at each other.

"Quack quack..."

Runrun Duck rubbed its butt while glaring fiercely at Ironhead Kid.

It didn't even avoid the vital parts!

"Clang..."

Ironhead Kid scratched its head in embarrassment, it didn't expect that the only time it hit Runrun Duck was on its butt.

Fortunately, the Clear Ripple Wave rippled, slowly healing Runrun Duck's injuries.

Sure enough, planning ahead is right.

Chen Yuan summoned the two little guys in front of him, carefully considering his words, and said: "Duckie's battle strategy is right, keep your distance, use ranged attacks, just don't get close to Ironhead Kid."

"Quack quack!"

Runrun Duck couldn't help but raise its head, trying to appear calm and breezy, but the pain in its butt made it grimace, ruining the effect in a second.

"As for Ironhead Kid..." Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Ironhead Kid, his eyes bright, "You shouldn't have held back."

"Clang..."

Ironhead Kid's eyes darted around, lowering its head.

Although Runrun Duck broke through to the second level first, Ironhead Kid's overall skill proficiency was much higher than the former.

This was also normal, Runrun Duck just wanted to slack off, spending most of its time sunbathing; Ironhead Kid diligently practiced its skills at all times in order to guard the farm.

In addition, there was no attribute restraint between the two, so without a Beast Tamer's command, Ironhead Kid had a greater advantage.

But it was enough, Runrun Duck was, after all, a lazy character, it was good enough that it could master a certain amount of strength.

Can't force it.

Moreover, Runrun Duck's advantage should lie in group battles, not one-on-one fights.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan turned back to look at Wu Peng and Zeng Hui: "Let's go sit in the farm."

Night fell,

The two walked out of the farm side by side.

After a brief silence, Wu Peng suddenly said: "Did you notice, there are many fruit trees on the farm."

"Flame Fruit Trees, Lumen Fruit Trees, and Lucid Fruit Trees, could it be that Consultant Chen also knows how to cultivate spirit plants?" Recalling what he had seen and heard on the farm, Zeng Hui felt a surge of excitement.

Whose farm has so many spirit plants?

Wu Peng nodded: "Not only can he cultivate pets, but he can also cultivate spirit plants, Consultant Chen is too versatile."

"And..."

He paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with excitement: "That Runrun Duck and Steelhead Groundhog are the third pets Consultant Chen is preparing."

"No, maybe not just them, there's also that Commander-quality Meteor Horned Beast."

"The Beast Tamer Association recently included this pet, it should be Chen Yuan who discovered it first, after all, the habitat of this type of pet is marked as the summit of the Qinling Mountains."

As a Beast Tamer, Wu Peng often pays attention to newly included pets.

The tall and mighty, Commander-quality Meteor Horned Beast attracted the attention of many Beast Tamers as soon as it was included.

Wu Peng was one of them.

"Consultant Chen cultivated a group of pets on the farm, cultivating them together, letting them compete with each other, progress with each other, and then contract the most powerful one."

"This is the key to Consultant Chen being so powerful."

"After all, each of his pets is carefully selected."

"I'm a little curious which pet will eventually become Consultant Chen's third pet."

"Runrun Duck or Steelhead Groundhog?"

Zeng Hui suddenly interjected: "I think it's the Meteor Horned Beast."

He preferred tall and mighty pets.

"It should be the Steelhead Groundhog!" Wu Peng retorted.

"Meteor Horned Beast!"

"Steelhead Groundhog!"

Inside the farm,

After the two left, Chen Yuan uploaded the recorded advancement video to the official website.

Although it was late at night, he had uploaded it at about the same time last time, indicating that there were staff working the night shift.

With the successful upload of the video, Chen Yuan stretched lazily and returned to his bedroom to rest.

Headquarters Building of the Beast Tamer Association,

"It's time to get off work."

Du Chang yawned, the exhaustion etched on his face.

The work intensity during this period was average, and he could basically get off work on time.

Thinking of passing by the battle arena full of JK girls conducting pet battles after work, a foolish smile appeared on Du Chang's face.

The skirts swaying in the wind, the youthful and energetic smiles, deeply captivated this no-longer-young worker.

"Ding dong~"

"You have a new message."

The computer prompt sounded, Du Chang, who was about to turn off the computer, took a deep breath, sat down expressionlessly, and muttered in his mouth: "Hopefully it's a video, hopefully it's a video..."

If the review takes too long, those JK girls might leave.

Clicking into the page, two videos appeared prominently, Du Chang immediately sat up straight, his eyes shining: "Two videos!"

"Runrun Duck Elite—Commander Quality Advancement Conditions..."

"Steelhead Groundhog Elite—Commander Quality Advancement Conditions..."

Du Chang, reading out two lines of small print, instantly widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Both are advancements to Commander quality?"

Although now and then, Elite-to-Commander quality advancement conditions would pop up, this was the first time he had seen two advancement videos uploaded at the same time.

Suddenly, Du Chang felt that the uploader's avatar looked a little familiar, and subconsciously clicked to take a look.

"Chen Yuan, Intermediate Beast Tamer, previously uploaded Flame Cloud Falcon Common—Elite, Flame Cloud Falcon Elite—Commander advancement conditions."

"Is it this person?" Du Chang's face showed surprise.

He had some impression of this person, after all, he had personally reviewed the Flame Cloud Falcon's Elite-to-Commander advancement conditions.

Yes, it was also on a night when he was about to get off work.

"Could it be a research student from the Beast Tamer Academy?"

"Or a researcher from a research institute?" Du Chang couldn't help but mutter.

Nowadays, researchers and research students are the main force in uploading advancement conditions.

However, most people specialize in one type of pet, and it is extremely rare for someone like Chen Yuan to upload the advancement conditions for three types of pets at the same time.

Du Chang shook his head, these things were not his concern, so he directly clicked into the video.

Time gradually passed, seeing that he had already missed the JK girls' battle time, Du Chang sighed deeply.

After a long time,

Du Chang stretched lazily and sent the two videos to other departments.

At this moment, it was already late at night, and only Du Chang was left in the huge office.

He stared blankly at the glowing screen, the bright smiles of the JK girls flashed in his mind, but turned to nothing with the appearance of the two videos.

Hating this moment, Du Chang couldn't help but contact this suspected researcher, sending a message:

"Can't you upload it earlier!!!"

But in the end, he just sighed helplessly, a tired emotion surging in his heart, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After a long time,

Multiple departments finally sent messages saying that there were no abnormalities in the video, Du Chang quickly clicked to pass the review at the fastest speed, and then rushed out of the office like a whirlwind.

[Dear Mr. Chen Yuan, the advancement of Runrun Duck Elite—Commander that you uploaded has passed the review, thank you for your contribution to the Beast Tamer Association and all Beast Tamers]

[Dear]

Late at night, Chen Yuan, who received two short messages in succession, smiled: "As expected, it's trustworthy work efficiency."

"Well, give the staff a thumbs up."

"Speaking of which, there should be fewer Beast Tamers uploading at night, so the review speed will be very fast."

"Okay, I'll upload the advancement conditions at night in the future."
