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

Before long, Chen Wenhao called.

"Aren't you busy today?" Chen Yuan asked.

Chen Wenhao replied, "It's my break time now. I just picked up my phone and saw you sent a video."

After a slight pause, he continued, "I took a look. The mushroom in this video is a Spirit Nether Mushroom. It's a newly discovered spirit plant, a Tier 3 resource, growing in damp and dark environments, and can effectively enhance a Beastmaster's mental strength."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but be taken aback. "Tier 3 resource?"

He had been painstakingly searching for the Blazing Sun Wood, which was also a Tier 3 resource, but ended up discovering a Spirit Nether Mushroom while fishing?

Was this the Air Force's reward?

"Yes, a Tier 3 resource." Chen Wenhao nodded slightly and smiled. "Brother, you're really lucky. The current market value of Spirit Nether Mushrooms is very high, worth at least 400,000, and the contribution points you can exchange for it won't be less than 400."

"How much? How much did you say?!" Chen Yuan stood up abruptly, his eyes slightly widened.

"Brother, you heard right, 400,000." Chen Wenhao's tone was unhurried as he continued, "But it has a very significant boosting effect on you personally, so I don't recommend selling it."

"Investing that 400,000 in yourself will be more helpful for future development."

Chen Yuan quickly calmed down. "That's what I was thinking."

In the current online discussions, many Beastmasters believe that spirit plants that benefit Beastmasters are far more valuable than those that benefit pet beasts.

The stronger a Beastmaster's mental strength and the higher their level, the more they can drive the growth of their contracted pet beasts.

"But this Spirit Nether Mushroom isn't very big and will need at least another week to mature," Chen Wenhao's voice continued.

"It's fine, then I'll patiently wait a week." A mere week, Chen Yuan was completely patient enough to wait.

"As for the source of the sound in the video, my guess is the same as yours. It should be some kind of frog-like pet beast, but I don't know exactly what it is," Chen Wenhao said.

He turned his head to look at the Silky Duck playing with Cola and murmured, "Duck Duck's current state isn't suitable for going into that cave."

"Let's hold off for now. I can use this time waiting for the Spirit Nether Mushroom to mature to improve Duck Duck's strength."

"It's just a pity that I only have Duck Duck as a water-type pet beast right now," Chen Yuan sighed slightly.

Although Cola can swim, swimming and diving are two different things, let alone diving for a long time.

As for Spark, the less said about it the better.

And the other Iron Head, Electric Flying Cat, and Bean Chicken don't seem like they can dive.

If he wants to get the Spirit Nether Mushroom, he can only rely on Duck Duck.

In the following time, Chen Yuan continued to fish, but unfortunately, he gained nothing except for one or two ordinary small fish.

On the other hand, Cola lay by the lake, putting its long tail in the water, shaking it gently from time to time, creating ripples.

It seemed to be playing in the water, and it seemed to be learning Chen Yuan's way of fishing.

Suddenly,

Its tail felt a sharp pain, and Cola bared its teeth, suddenly pulling its tail out of the water.

Whoa!

Along with the tail, there was also a small Wave-patterned Salmon, which was dragged to the shore by Cola's tail, constantly jumping.

"Awoo?"

Cola was stunned at first, then ran excitedly towards Chen Yuan, biting his trouser leg, signaling him to turn his head and take a look.

Chen Yuan turned his head to look, and when he saw the Wave-patterned Salmon jumping on the ground and Cola wagging its tail vigorously, he fell into a long silence.

There are many ways to insult someone, but you chose the most deadly one.

It was already close to evening when he returned to the farm.

Chen Yuan carried the bucket and poured all two Wave-patterned Salmon harvested today into the fish pond, while saying to the unhappy Silky Duck, "As a mature Silky Duck, you should understand the principle of draining the pond to catch all the fish."

Silky Duck shook its head.

Chen Yuan patiently explained, "It looks like there are only three spirit fish now, but if they hit it off, won't they be able to give birth to many little fish?"

"Quack quack."

Silky Duck thought about it carefully and nodded.

"Awoo awoo ~"

Cola tilted its head, asking a fatal question—what if these three Wave-patterned Salmon don't hit it off? What if they are all the same gender?

Chen Yuan glared at Cola fiercely, who immediately stretched out its claws to cover its mouth, silently shrinking back into the corner.

He continued, "So, for the sake of long-term benefits, for the sake of being able to eat spirit fish every day in the future, we must endure it now."

"Quack."

Hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, Silky Duck thought carefully for a long time and nodded again.

After dinner, Chen Yuan received a call from Zhou Xu:

"I've already sent the express delivery, it should arrive tomorrow, you should go and pick it up early."

"Okay, Brother Zhou, thank you for your trouble."

"It's a small matter." Zhou Xu smiled slightly, "I have another thing to tell you."

He paused, then continued, "We have already reported the situation you discovered to the Beastmaster Association headquarters. After an in-depth investigation, they will reward you with contribution points based on the importance of this information."

Chen Yuan shook his head. "It wasn't me who discovered it, it was the forest ranger on the mountain who discovered it first."

Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, neither of you will be shortchanged for your contributions."

Chen Yuan then nodded.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, if I want to sell spirit plants, what should I do?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked.

"If you want to sell spirit plants now, you can either sell them directly to the Beastmaster Mall, where you can get corresponding contribution points; or sell them to Beastmaster shops in various places, where you can exchange them for cash; or find buyers privately, where you can exchange them for cash or barter, but there is a certain risk."

"What do you want to sell?" After explaining, Zhou Xu asked.

"Luminous Fruit."

Zhou Xu said in surprise, "This is a good thing, are you sure you want to sell it?"

Chen Yuan nodded. "Yes, and I remember that Brother Zhou is also a Beastmaster, so I saved one for you."

"How can this be?" Zhou Xu shook his head decisively.

"Last time, Brother Zhou helped me pay attention to the news of Wind Whisper Grass, and I didn't even have a chance to thank you properly."

"One thing is one thing, moreover, the value of Luminous Fruit is much higher." Zhou Xu thought carefully and smiled, "How about this, do you need cash or contribution points, or resources now?"

Chen Yuan said without hesitation, "Resources."

"Then how about this, you can directly tell me what resources you need, and I will help you exchange them for these resources with the Luminous Fruit. Luminous Fruit is a hard currency, almost every Beastmaster needs it."

"Don't worry, you definitely won't suffer a loss."

"There are too few resources in the Beastmaster Mall now, and the supply is less than the demand, so it's difficult to get them."

Just as Zhou Xu said, although selling to the Beastmaster Mall is the safest, it requires a series of tedious procedures, and you may not be able to exchange for the resources you want.

As time goes on, more and more ordinary people have become Beastmasters, and the Beastmaster Association has taken the opportunity to issue a bunch of tasks, such as driving away wild pet beasts wandering around the city, or capturing pet beasts that have escaped from the zoo...

With so many tasks, more Beastmasters have gained contribution points, so that many resources in the Beastmaster Mall have been swept away.

The three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Chen Yuan chose the one he needed most at the moment.

Chen Yuan agreed readily, "No problem."
