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

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yuan returned to the farm.

He summoned all the pet beasts, big and small, to his side. Of course, Doudou Chicken was still in the chicken coop incubating eggs.

The little guys had different expressions. The Flame Cloud Falcon was silent; Cola was excited, pouncing on Chen Yuan from time to time; Duck Duck was yawning, looking like it hadn't woken up; Iron Head was solemn, exuding the words "reliable" all over its body.

As for Electric Flying Cat, it hid in a corner, curling up slightly, out of place.

Chen Yuan was very troubled by Electric Flying Cat's personality. It was clearly very clever in the process of stealing fruits, even cunning, but it was particularly sensitive and introverted after coming to the farm, and it had been unable to integrate into the farm atmosphere.

"Perhaps it's because of this child's experience," Chen Yuan sighed inwardly.

Electric Flying Cat said that it had traveled all the way here, being bullied by other pet beasts along the way, and had to use some means to survive.

But perhaps sensitivity and introversion were the true colors after discarding all pretense.

But for Chen Yuan, Electric Flying Cat, which could smell the aura of spiritual plants, was very important.

As long as he took Electric Flying Cat into the mountains, he might be able to steadily find spiritual plants.

Therefore, in order to improve Electric Flying Cat's favorability as soon as possible, to prevent Cola from being disturbed while sleeping, and to allow Electric Flying Cat to integrate into the farm atmosphere as soon as possible, Chen Yuan decided to have an ice-breaking activity—building a treehouse together!

"Wa, do you really not need my help?" Chen Weiyi puffed on his dry tobacco pipe, smoke rising in wisps. He looked at the makeshift team Chen Yuan had assembled, worried.

Not to mention Chen Yuan, who had little woodworking experience, just these five little guys were enough to make Chen Weiyi pessimistic.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we can do it," Chen Yuan patted his chest, full of confidence.

He had already studied various materials and videos on building treehouses before this, and was full of confidence.

Chen Yuan first selected an exceptionally thick camphor tree as the foundation for the treehouse—this camphor tree was about twenty meters high, and at the six or seven meter mark on the trunk, four thick branches branched out in the four directions of southeast, northwest. The crown of the tree above was lush, like a huge canopy shielding the sunlight.

The central intersection where these four branches diverged was an excellent place to build a platform.

"We need a lot of wood now," Chen Yuan looked at the four little guys, stretching out his arms, "Let's go, let's chop wood together."

Taking the five little guys with different expressions, Chen Yuan looked for suitable wood in the farm.

The wood for building the treehouse didn't need to be too thick, a moderate length was enough, after all, only Electric Flying Cat would live there.

Therefore, Chen Yuan did not choose large trees that were twenty meters tall, but instead favored small trees that were several meters high.

After the spiritual energy recovery began, various plants grew vigorously, and Chen Yuan quickly found many suitable targets.

"It's your turn," Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Iron Head.

Steel Head Gopher tilted its head, looking puzzled.

Ah? Me?

"Yes, it's you," Chen Yuan stared at the metal-glowing double blades in front of Steel Head Gopher, nodding heavily.

Using this pair of sharp blades to chop trees should be much more efficient than an axe, right?

"Clang."

Under Chen Yuan's expectant gaze, Iron Head Gopher walked towards the tree in front of it. It raised its head, and its semi-circular orange eyes flashed with thought.

After a while,

Iron Head Gopher raised the sharp blade in front of it high, silver-white light attached to it, and the aura of sharpness flowed as it chopped towards the tree trunk!

Once the Steel Blade skill was used, this pair of sharp blades easily cut across the roots of the tree, leaving a smooth cross-section.

Bang!

The next moment, the tree slowly fell backwards, crashing to the ground with a loud noise, causing Electric Flying Cat to tremble, instinctively wanting to escape.

But when it saw that the other pet beasts were all standing still, watching curiously, it gritted its teeth and stopped as well.

"This efficiency is indeed much higher than an axe, and I don't even need to do it myself."

"Sure enough, what's the point of thinking about pet beast battles all day long? Isn't it better to have them work?"

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan looked at Iron Head Gopher and continued, "That's how you do it, the expression is great."

"Then divide this log evenly into three sections."

Seeing Iron Head Gopher's eyes becoming more and more confused, Chen Yuan simply waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll mark the cutting positions, you continue to chop trees."

Since the tools were not complete, Chen Yuan had to use a tape measure to roughly divide the log into three sections, and then asked Iron Head Gopher to help cut it. Then he waved to Cola: "It's your turn."

He pushed a cart from the warehouse, tied the front end of the cart to Cola with a rope, and finally tied the three logs to the cart, then said to Cola: "Now pull the cart back to the tree we were at before, Spark help unload the wood, and then you guys come back."

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Cola seemed particularly excited, immediately striding forward, moving like the wind, pulling the cart, and running towards the camphor tree.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan quickly reminded: "Run slower, don't overturn!"

"Chirp."

Spark was graceful, following unhurriedly behind.

In this way, Iron Head Gopher was huffing and puffing as it chopped trees, Chen Yuan was marking the cutting positions, leaving Electric Flying Cat and Runrun Duck with nothing to do.

"Quack?"

Runrun Duck scratched its butt and swaggered to Chen Yuan's side.

Since there was nothing to do, Duck Duck would go back first.

I want to bask in the sun, quack.

Chen Yuan glanced at Runrun Duck and said, "Don't rush, you have something to do."

"Quack?"

Runrun Duck tilted its head, looking puzzled.

Chen Yuan didn't even raise his head, and said, "It's easy to get heatstroke when working in the summer, you can sprinkle water on them to cool them down."

"Quack!"

Runrun Duck widened its eyes, never expecting that what it needed to do would be so... so easy!

It readily nodded, and then waddled to the side of Iron Head Gopher, who was diligently chopping trees, and spit out a stream of water.

"Clang?"

Iron Head Gopher, soaked in water, stopped and looked over in confusion.

"Quack?"

Don't get heatstroke, quack.

"Electric..."

Seeing everyone busy, Electric Flying Cat felt a strange sense of shame and emptiness in its heart. It widened its eyes slightly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Logically speaking, they were building a treehouse for it, and it should help, but... but it didn't know what it could do.

Just then, a voice sounded in its ear: "You should conserve your energy first, you'll be busy later."

"Electric?"

Electric Flying Cat's eyes flickered with light. At that moment, it felt a little satisfied, but also instinctively resisted.

But when it looked around and saw the Steel Head Gopher chopping trees, the Runrun Duck watering, the Cola pulling the cart, the Spark unloading the wood, and Chen Yuan coordinating everything, the softest part of its heart seemed to be touched.

It suddenly turned around and ran to a dark corner, groping for a long time, and ran towards Chen Yuan with several apples in its arms.

Electric Flying Cat usually walked on all fours, but in order to bring all the apples in one breath, it forcibly stood upright.

Therefore, it staggered when it ran, and its fluffy tail drooped to the ground.

Suddenly, it stumbled. Although Electric Flying Cat tried its best to steady itself, its body and the apples in its arms fell to the ground one after another.

"Electric!"

Electric Flying Cat ignored its own fall and quickly looked at the apples beside it. After seeing that they were not broken, it finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile spread across its face.

Then, it picked up the apples, held them tightly in its arms, and walked carefully towards Chen Yuan.

Its steps were slow and firm.

Then... then please everyone eat my favorite apples!

Will you like them?
