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

"Let me give you this Gale-Wind Vole," Chen Yuan decided, wanting to offer some support to the future world's number one bounty hunter.

Huo Hong shook his head, "Advisor Chen, thank you for your kindness."

"But—"

He grinned, his tone shifting, "I don't deserve it."

Remember the domain name of the first website t 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Catching this Gale-Wind Vole has nothing to do with him, and even though he's short on money right now, he can't bring himself to accept this kindness.

Besides, Advisor Chen's selfless guidance is already worth far more than the reward offered by the bounty mission.

Chen Yuan glanced at Huo Hong's determined expression and didn't try to persuade him further, "Alright."

The way to deal with this Gale-Wind Vole is very simple: keep it away from this area and prevent it from competing with the Storm Cloud Sparrows for food.

The Gale-Wind Vole has a varied diet and can eat all kinds of food.

The Storm Cloud Sparrows, on the other hand, prefer Wind-Drift Millet, a type of spiritual grain, and it's very troublesome to find new food.

Although most of these Wind-Drift Millet grains have been eaten by the Gale-Wind Vole, this type of spiritual plant grows quickly, and it won't be long before it can once again meet the Storm Cloud Sparrows' feeding needs.

At that time, the Storm Cloud Sparrows won't need to compete with the Fledgling Owl for Silver Pine cones.

A clan conflict, resolved invisibly.

"Spark, find it a new home, far away from here," Chen Yuan said after a moment of thought.

Chen Yuan first touched the unconscious Gale-Wind Vole, and then Spark firmly grabbed it and flew away into the distance.

"Advisor Chen, then I'll be going too," Huo Hong said immediately, watching Spark's figure gradually disappear.

He wants to wait for the Gale-Wind Vole to wake up and then catch it with his own ability.

This is the short-term goal he has set for himself and Azure Hound.

This is their goal, also a training, a cultivation.

To become the world's number one bounty hunter, start by catching the Gale-Wind Vole.

Chen Yuan saw Huo Hong's thoughts and smiled, "Okay."

"Azure Hound, let's go."

"Woof!"

The man and his dog chased after Spark's figure, running forward.

Suddenly, Huo Hong turned around abruptly and waved his phone at Chen Yuan, "Advisor Chen, can I add your contact information?"

"No problem."

After adding contact information, Huo Hong stared at Chen Yuan and Cola for a long time, then suddenly said, "Advisor Chen, I hope that when we meet next time, we can have a pet battle."

"By then, Azure Hound and I will give you a big surprise."

"I'll be waiting and watching," Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Unknowingly, Chen Yuan made another pet battle appointment with a Beastmaster.

Watching Huo Hong leave, Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at the Storm Cloud Sparrows, smiling, "Let's go, it's time to apologize to the Fledgling Owls."

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The Storm Cloud Sparrows were unwilling, their volatile nature making them reluctant to apologize to other pets, and they kept flapping their wings and making loud cries.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

Cola raised its head and howled, stirring up a fierce gust of wind that made the Storm Cloud Sparrows sway.

"Chirp, chirp."

Under Cola's intimidation, the Storm Cloud Sparrows finally agreed to apologize.

At this time, an idea popped into Chen Yuan's mind: "It's the same whether you herd one sheep or two, why not also include the Fledgling Owls in the farm's security system?"

As soon as this thought emerged, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and his mind instantly expanded: "Then introduce a competition mechanism, not only giving spiritual plants to those who perform well, but also letting Cola provide guidance."

The Storm Cloud Sparrows and the Fledgling Owls both belong to the Wind-type pets, and with Cola's strength and skill proficiency, it can completely provide guidance.

After the Storm Cloud Sparrows apologized, the Fledgling Owls gladly agreed to Chen Yuan's request.

After all, with Spark and Cola glaring nearby, they had to agree even if they didn't want to.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you should get along well in the future and stop fighting all the time."

Chen Yuan called the Storm Cloud Sparrow leader and the Fledgling Owl leader to him, and at the same time held down their heads, saying, "Come on, shake wings and make peace."

"Chirp!"

The Storm Cloud Sparrow leader first glared at the Fledgling Owl leader, reluctantly stretched out its wing, then moved its head away, deliberately not looking at the latter.

"Chirp woo."

The Fledgling Owl leader also stretched out its wing at the same time, its attitude much gentler, nodding slightly.

With the wing-shaking completed, the clan conflict caused by the Gale-Wind Vole was completely over.

It's just that before the Wind-Drift Millet matures again, these Storm Cloud Sparrows have no stable food source. How will they get through this period?

They can't possibly share the Silver Pine cones with the Fledgling Owls, right?

And Chen Yuan is also unable to bear the daily food of these Storm Cloud Sparrows.

He must think of a way to give these Storm Cloud Sparrows enough food.

He pondered for a long time, and a figure gradually appeared in his mind.

Then, Chen Yuan made a phone call:

"Haozi, are you busy?"

"No, Brother Yuan, what's the matter?"

"I'm going to introduce a new business to you," Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Zhang Hao immediately sat up straight, his eyes lighting up, "What business?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Our Qinling APP hasn't been launched yet, and many Beastmasters wander around like headless flies after entering the mountains, unable to find wild pets or spiritual plants, wasting their time in vain."

"If there is a Storm Cloud Sparrow that knows the surrounding environment well, it can solve this problem."

"Moreover, with a Storm Cloud Sparrow, you can avoid dangers in advance."

Zhang Hao thought for a long time and raised a key question: "Brother Yuan, I need to confirm one thing."

"These Storm Cloud Sparrows won't attack Beastmasters at will, right?"

He remembered the miserable scene of being chased by these Storm Cloud Sparrows.

Chen Yuan coughed softly and said, "As long as you give them enough food, this situation won't happen."

"I think it's feasible," Zhang Hao pondered, "Set the rental fee lower and let them bear the Storm Cloud Sparrow's food expenses themselves."

With low prices and the Storm Cloud Sparrow's small appetite, Zhang Hao believes that many Beastmasters will be willing to rent this cost-effective local guide.

"Then what do you think?" Chen Yuan looked at the Storm Cloud Sparrows and asked, "As long as you act as guides for humans, you will have plenty of food every day."

"But you have to restrain your temper a little and never attack Beastmasters."

"If I find out that you attack Beastmasters—"

Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at Spark: "Spark, you can help me teach them a lesson."

"Chirp!"

Spark's eyes were sharp, and it spread its wings, scanning each Storm Cloud Sparrow one by one, its terrifying aura making them all nod repeatedly like chicks pecking rice.

"Very good."

Seeing the Storm Cloud Sparrows' reaction, Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

This is the simplest way to provide relief through work.

Since the opening of Zhang Hao's farmhouse, he has been actively promoting it online, and with the farmhouse's superior environment and service, the business is very popular and recognized by many Beastmasters.

Zhang Hao took advantage of the situation to launch the Gray Armor Mountain Pig riding service, pulling out all the Gray Armor Mountain Pigs in his family, and earning a considerable income every day.

With the addition of the Storm Cloud Sparrow guide, Chen Yuan believes his business will be even better.

"Brother Yuan, you get 70% of this income and I get 30%," Zhang Hao said.

"Let's split it 50-50," Chen Yuan said.

Zhang Hao suddenly stood up and shook his head, "Only you can suppress these Storm Cloud Sparrows, I'm just providing a channel."

"That's settled then, okay, I have to go and get busy."

Without waiting for Chen Yuan to refuse, Zhang Hao hung up the phone.

"This guy—" Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly.

In any case, the Storm Cloud Sparrows' food problem has been temporarily resolved.

It's just that Chen Yuan is worried that these grumpy guys will cause trouble, and by then he will have to let Zhang Hao keep an eye on them as much as possible.

Well, Storm Cloud Sparrow's first rule of work—no beating customers.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan remembered something and took out his phone to send a message to Zhang Hao: "By the way, you can customize a batch of small vests for these Storm Cloud Sparrows with the name of your farmhouse on them."

Zhang Hao: "Received."

After a while, Zhang Hao sent another message: "Brother Yuan, why don't I make one for you too, so you can wear it when you participate in the competition and give me some GG (smiley face)."

Chen Yuan: "Get lost."

Zhang Hao: "Okay."

Putting away his phone, Chen Yuan looked at the Storm Cloud Sparrows in front of him and pondered, "When you are working, don't fly around, stay by the customer's side at all times."

"Listen to the customer's arrangements."

"Don't be angry if the food is bad, just be satisfied if you can eat your fill."

"Don't fight if there is a conflict with the customer."

"If the customer wants to contract with you, agree if you can, maybe you can live a prosperous life without worrying about food and drink."

"."

At the same time,

Zhang Hao's "Good Luck Farmhouse" welcomed two familiar guests.

After many days, Yang Yue and Li Qing returned to this place that had left a deep impression on them.

"You came a little late," Zhang Hao poured tea for the two of them, squinting at the setting sun in the sky, and smiling, "If you want to enter the mountains, you'll probably have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"It's not easy to come here," Yang Yue stretched lazily, the long car ride making her back ache, "Tomorrow morning is fine, anyway, there's no rush."

After saying this, she looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Is Advisor Chen in the village?"

"He's in the mountains, he just called me and said that the Storm Cloud Sparrows need to work," Zhang Hao said.

"The Storm Cloud Sparrows need to work?" Yang Yue looked puzzled.

She recognized all the words, but when they were put together, they made her confused.

Zhang Hao simply explained: "It's letting the Storm Cloud Sparrows become guides for Beastmasters from other places, helping them find pets and spiritual plants—"

Yang Yue's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about the Storm Cloud Sparrows that attacked us back then?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hao and Li Qing beside her both turned pale.

Bad memories surged in their minds.

"Yes, it's those guys," Zhang Hao nodded.

"I want to try it," Yang Yue flicked her hair in front of her forehead and said excitedly, "What do you think, Qingqing?"

"Up to you," Li Qing said succinctly.

"Okay," Yang Yue waved her hand and said boldly, "Then we'll rent two Storm Cloud Sparrows."

“Hmph, hmph, those Storm Cloud Finches really gave us a hard time back then. I need to find a way to get revenge.”

A black line appeared on Zhang Hao's forehead, and he quickly劝说persuaded, “Don't, don't, don't. They're employees now, and besides, they've already turned over a new leaf.”

“Harmony, we must have harmony.”

No mistakes, one song, one hair, one inside, one content, one in, one look!

“I was just joking.” Yang Yue laughed, “It just so happens that we need a guide who knows the environment well for this trip into the mountains.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief: “Are you still going into the mountains to train?”

“I want to contract a second pet beast.” Yang Yue replied truthfully.

She became a mid-level Beast Master a few days ago, and with the Cloud Tracer Fox breaking through to the second level, it's time to look for a new pet beast.

“Ying ~”

The petite Cloud Tracer Fox nodded, its fluffy long tail swaying gently.

It also wants a new partner.

“Awesome, esteemed mid-level Beast Master.” Zhang Hao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, then subconsciously looked at Li Qing, who was sitting quietly.

“Don't look at her, she became a mid-level Beast Master before me, and she already contracted a new pet beast.” Yang Yue said with a smile, “Also a snake-type pet beast.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: “Two snakes, that's practically Brother Yuan's ultimate nemesis.”

Zhang Hao has been complaining about Chen Yuan's fear of snakes since he was a child.

“You guys sit for a while, I'll contact Brother Yuan.”

Half an hour later,

Chen Yuan strode into the courtyard. Yang Yue and Li Qing immediately stood up and nodded in greeting: “Consultant Chen.”

The last time they saw Chen Yuan was at the Taibai Cup site. Chen Yuan's wonderful performance left a deep impression on them, and they developed respect for this mysterious farm owner.

This respect extended to a change in status and mentality, making it impossible for them to treat Chen Consultant Chen, who is now known as the number one Beast Master in Baokun City, in the same way as they did in the beginning.

Facing Chen Yuan, who had a higher status than them, stronger strength than them, and a group of fans online, they simply couldn't be calm and composed.

Chen Yuan keenly noticed the different thoughts of the two, so he joked: “It's only been a while since we last met, why are you calling me Consultant Chen? Just call me by my name.”

Seeing Chen Yuan's reaction, Yang Yue was no longer restrained and said carelessly: “Consultant Chen is easier to say, and we'll get used to it as we call it.”

Li Qing nodded lightly in agreement.

“Ying ~”

At this time, the Cloud Tracer Fox saw the Twin Flower Consort sitting on Chen Yuan's shoulder, and its eyes flickered with light.

“Hello, little fellow.”

Chen Yuan greeted the Cloud Tracer Fox, but the latter's attention was all on the Twin Flower Consort and ignored him.

The charm of the Twin Flower Consort is not limited to pet beasts, even humans will be captivated by its super high appearance.

Yang Yue has already taken out her mobile phone, turned on the selfie mode, and tried to take a photo with the Twin Flower Consort.

Li Qing appeared more reserved, but her eyes were always on the Twin Flower Consort.

“Hiss ~”

Suddenly, a small green head poked out from Li Qing's backpack, looking at the Twin Flower Consort with curious eyes.

Chen Yuan silently took half a step back.

It appeared!

His ultimate nemesis, a terrifying existence that he couldn't face directly — snake-type pet beasts.

Zhang Hao said with a cheap smile: “Li Qing, didn't you contract a second pet beast? Hurry up and let it out for us to see.”

Li Qing didn't know why, but nodded, then opened the backpack zipper, and two slender figures crawled out of it, wrapping around her arms on the left and right.

Chen Yuan retreated again.

One of the figures was the Scaly Green Snake that Chen Yuan was familiar with. Compared to before, the Scaly Green Snake's body was longer, and its green scales were more lush.

The other figure was covered in translucent blue scales, and there was a wavy water pattern on its forehead.

Ripple Shadow Snake, a water-type pet beast.

This kind of pet beast is relatively special, and its scales change color with emotions: dark blue like the deep sea when alert, and light green like a stream when calm.

Seeing Chen Yuan's reaction, Li Qing blinked her eyes and subconsciously said: “So you're afraid of snakes.”

“Cough cough.” Yang Yue coughed a few times and changed to a more tactful way of saying: “It seems that sending out snake-type pet beasts is very advantageous when facing Consultant Chen.”

Chen Yuan said quietly: “I'm afraid of snakes, but they're not afraid.”

“Chirp!”

“Awoo!”

Firefly spread its wings, and Cola raised its head and barked, scaring the two little snakes to tremble.

Yang Yue was silent for a moment.

Zhang Hao laughed secretly, but changed the subject in time: “Brother Yuan, where are those Storm Cloud Finches? They want to rent two of them.”

Chen Yuan clapped his hands: “You can come in now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Storm Cloud Finches flew into the courtyard in a line. With the leader's order, they landed neatly in front of everyone.

“Count off.” Chen Yuan said.

“Chirp!” The first Storm Cloud Finch immediately spoke.

“Chirp chirp!” The second Storm Cloud Finch followed up.

“Chirp chirp chirp chirp.”

After the count was over, all the Storm Cloud Finches stared at Chen Yuan intently. The neat formation and disciplined response made people wonder if they were really the violent Storm Cloud Finches.

The three of them stared blankly at this scene. After a long while, Zhang Hao asked in a tone full of emotion: “Brother Yuan, did you give them military training?”

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: “Just a little drill.”

Letting the Storm Cloud Finches work as a form of relief was just a whim. The original intention was to let them get through the awkward period of food shortage, but Chen Yuan felt that this was an opportunity.

Nowadays, more and more people are starting to discuss the topic of how humans and pet beasts can live in harmony.

Some fire departments have hired water-type pet beasts and trained them to be little firefighters; some police stations have hired canine pet beasts, and their search and capture abilities have been widely recognized.

Unknowingly, pet beasts have appeared in all walks of life and are closely connected to the lives of ordinary people.

Although the Storm Cloud Finches are wild pet beasts and have a violent temperament, they can also take this opportunity to let more ordinary people deeply understand this pet beast.

This is precisely the best embodiment of the harmonious coexistence of humans and pet beasts.

With this idea in mind, Chen Yuan drilled this group of Storm Cloud Finches in the shortest possible time, trying to serve customers as well as possible.

“You guys pick two.” Chen Yuan said.

“I'll go first.” Yang Yue stepped forward, looking at the group of Storm Cloud Finches with great interest, and finally pointed to the Storm Cloud Finch leader, “It's him!”

She clearly remembered that this Storm Cloud Finch was the loudest and chased the hardest back then.

She never thought that one day, she and this Storm Cloud Finch would meet in such a strange way.

Li Qing chose an unremarkable Storm Cloud Finch.

“From now on, you will be responsible for their three meals a day.” Chen Yuan said.

“Yes, yes, I will definitely give it the best food.” Yang Yue stared at the Storm Cloud Finch leader, a playful smile appearing on her face.

For some reason, the Storm Cloud Finch leader suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Night gradually fell,

The gentle evening breeze lightly brushed past, blowing Chen Yuan's fine black hair.

At Zhang Hao's warm invitation, he stayed for dinner.

Since the business of Good Luck Farmhouse has been getting better and better, Zhang Hao's parents are specially responsible for cooking, and a relative helps with cleaning.

Dinner was very rich, and the little ones also ate happily.

“Are you really going to be responsible for the food of these Storm Cloud Finches?” At the dinner table, Chen Yuan suddenly spoke.

Earlier, Zhang Hao took the initiative to say that he would be responsible for the food of the Storm Cloud Finches that were not rented.

Zhang Hao patted his chest: “Their food intake is nothing, even if you add them all together, it's not as much as a Gray Armor Mountain Pig.”

After a pause, he smiled: “And they will bring me an income, this little expense is just a drop in the bucket.”

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly he had a good idea: “Instead of this, why not tell Brother Song about this and let this group of Storm Cloud Finches become outsourced employees of the Beast Master Office.”

“When there's work, let them be guides.”

“When there's no work, let them patrol the surrounding environment of Xuanhe Village, forming a double insurance with the Barking Squad.”

“Presumably Brother Song and the village chief will not refuse.”

“Good idea!” Zhang Hao slapped his thigh, then gave Chen Yuan a thumbs up, “When it comes to exploiting employees, it's still you, Brother Yuan.”

Chen Yuan retorted: “How can this be considered exploitation? They have food and drink, and a comfortable life. This is definitely a stable job that is hard to come by.”

In this way, the Storm Cloud Finches would be half-institutional employees, with a bright future.

Chen Yuan solved the food problem of the Storm Cloud Finches, and incidentally let them patrol the surrounding environment of Xuanhe Village, indirectly enhancing the farm's security.

Zhang Hao obtained a stable income, and at the same time was no longer responsible for the food of the Storm Cloud Finches, reducing an extra expense.

Killing three birds with one stone, a perfect solution.

“By the way, which way are you planning to go into the mountains this time?” Chen Yuan brought the topic back to the two girls.

The two girls looked at each other, and Yang Yue replied: “North, I heard that a Great Earth Bear lives there, which once caused Zhuang Jianbai a lot of trouble.”

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: “You also know about this?”

Yang Yue smiled cheekily: “The whole academy knows about it.”

Chen Yuan silently sympathized with Zhuang Jianbai. He didn't know how long this dark history would be talked about.

But with Zhuang Jianbai's current mentality, he would probably just laugh it off even if he knew.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately laughed and pointed to the courtyard: “I can testify, I was there at the time. Zhuang Jianbai took the initiative to say that his Winter Hound was defeated by the Great Earth Bear several times.”

Chen Yuan smiled: “When you go into the mountains now, you probably won't encounter that Great Earth Bear. It has already moved.”

“Moved?” Yang Yue was stunned.

“Yes.” Chen Yuan nodded, his gaze passing through the dim night, falling on the distant rolling mountains, “Moved to a very far place.”

“It's okay, we're not going for it anyway.” Yang Yue said, “I just want to find a suitable pet beast, um, preferably a male fox-type pet beast, just to match my Cloud Tracer Fox.”

“Ying?”

Hearing this, the Cloud Tracer Fox raised its head blankly, just in time to see the teasing smile on the Beast Master's face.

“And then have a super cute fox baby, and the family of three will be complete.”

“Ying…”

This time, the Cloud Tracer Fox understood what its Beast Master meant, and quickly lowered its head and pretended not to hear, but its tail swaying from side to side revealed its complicated thoughts at the moment.

For a time, the hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.
