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

Several hours later, Chen Yuan boarded a bus from the county to Baokun City.

He didn't like driving to the city, partly because he wasn't familiar with the routes and there were too many cars in the city, and partly because driving for a long time was mentally exhausting.

After instructing the two little guys to stay obediently in the pet space, Chen Yuan was about to close his eyes and rest when he received a call from Chen Wenhao.

"Brother, I was busy earlier, and I only have time to reply now."

"It's okay, important matters come first."

Chen Wenhao slowly said, "The question you asked me is actually a concern for many Beast Tamers."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Current data shows that the higher the quality of the pet, the more skills it can awaken on its own."

"A pet of ordinary quality can only awaken two skills on its own."

"If it's of elite quality, it can awaken three."

"And a leader-level pet, four."

Chen Yuan's expression froze, and then he muttered in a low voice, "No wonder."

The little guys in the farm are currently all of elite quality, and they all know three skills.

Although Spark has broken through to the second level, its quality is still elite, so it has not been able to awaken the fourth skill.

"And when a leader-level pet is promoted to morning star quality, it will awaken a unique racial skill," Chen Wenhao said in a deep voice.

Two unfamiliar terms suddenly popped up, and Chen Yuan didn't have time to think much, so he directly asked, "Morning star quality? Racial skill?"

"Above the leader level is the morning star level. After reaching this level, the pet will evolve again, undergoing earth-shattering changes."

"As for racial skills, they are unique skills exclusive to a certain race, and other races cannot master them."

"For example, when your Flame Cloud Falcon reaches the morning star level, it will evolve into a higher-level life form and master racial skills that only this type of life form can awaken."

"Wait, there's a lot of information here." Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, and he told Chen Wenhao to stop talking for a moment, as he fell into deep thought.

Morning star quality, re-evolution, racial skills...

Every word made Chen Yuan's heart surge with excitement and anticipation, but he quickly calmed down.

Spark isn't even a leader-level pet yet, and it's still far from the morning star level, so why think so much?

"Are the skills that can be awakened on their own too few?" Chen Yuan asked.

Chen Wenhao chuckled and said, "So pets can also master skills through other methods."

"For example, by using special spiritual plants, or being in a special environment, or even being taught by other pets..."

"Can skills be taught?" Chen Yuan was taken aback.

"Of course, if one is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn, there is a chance to master skills of the same attribute."

Speaking of this, Chen Wenhao paused slightly, and then let out a strange laugh: "If a pet has extremely high talent, it might even be able to master skills of other attributes."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Listening to you, I feel like I know very little about pets."

Chen Wenhao said: "The more you research, the more you feel your own ignorance."

"We are all like this."

Chen Wenhao recalled what he had seen and heard in the laboratory and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in Baokun City, but the summer sun was still hanging high in the sky, not yet setting.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan knew before coming that the Beast Tamer Association's closing time was seven o'clock in the afternoon, so with curiosity in his heart, he took a taxi directly to the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association building.

As the first Beast Tamer in Xuanhe Village, he had to see the Beast Tamer Association building.

As soon as he got in the car, the driver uncle immediately turned his head and glanced at Chen Yuan when he heard the destination, and asked, "Are you a Beast Tamer?"

"Yes."

The driver slowly started the car, glancing at Chen Yuan through the rearview mirror while saying, "You are the first Beast Tamer I've picked up today."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Are there not many Beast Tamers in the city?"

"How could that be? You can't find many Beast Tamers in a neighborhood." The driver chuckled, "To be honest, I also tried meditation, but that thing is too difficult. I just fall asleep while thinking about it."

Speaking of this, the driver slightly raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "But my boy has good talent. He became a Beast Tamer in just four days, making his classmates very envious."

"That's very excellent." Chen Yuan smiled and nodded.

He never rejected communicating with strangers, and he was also a qualified straight man comedian.

"Hey, I don't know if this is a good thing or not." The driver sighed again, a very complicated expression appearing on his face, "He's now clamoring to become a Beast Tamer all day long, but how can my family come up with so much money to provide him with a pet contract and buy a bunch of things?"

In this kind of period, whether to become a Beast Tamer or continue on the previous path is indeed a difficult problem.

"I heard that Beast Tamer Academies have been established in various places, similar in nature to universities. The development prospects after graduation should be pretty good. You can pay attention to it and prepare in advance," Chen Yuan said.

After chatting all the way, the taxi slowly stopped in front of the Beast Tamer Association building.

This place does not belong to the city center, but is rather偏僻, but there are many pedestrians coming and going.

Chen Yuan looked up and saw that the Beast Tamer Association building was not tall, probably only a dozen stories high, but it looked particularly grand and imposing.

Although there were many pedestrians on both sides of the road, only a few entered this building, so when Chen Yuan walked towards the gate, some pedestrians cast envious glances.

The electric gate opened automatically, and Chen Yuan stepped in, immediately attracted by a display screen on the wall at the end of his vision. On the display screen, there were two strings of numbers:

16372

78

Seeing Chen Yuan's confused expression, the young and sturdy security guard guarding the gate immediately straightened his chest: "That is the total contribution value and ranking of our Baokun City Beast Tamer Association."

"We are ranked in the top 100 among hundreds of city-level associations in the country."

"But our goal is not the top 100, but the top 10!"

The young security guard's eyes were bright, and his voice was loud: "You should know that our Baokun City Beast Tamer Association was ranked tenth on the first day the contribution value evaluation system was established!"

"The reason why we were ranked tenth is thanks to a particularly powerful Beast Tamer..."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan coughed into his fist, interrupting: "Do you introduce this every time a new Beast Tamer comes in?"

"How do you know?" The security guard looked puzzled.

Chen Yuan shrugged and didn't explain.

The security guard's introduction was particularly loud, almost resounding throughout the hall, but none of the other staff members or Beast Tamers looked curiously, as if they were used to it.

Obviously, he is not just an ordinary security guard, he also undertakes the important task of promoting the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association.

Walking into the hall,

"Excuse me, excuse me, is this your first time visiting the Beastmaster Association?" A staff member wearing a black uniform, tall, with light makeup, and a faint smile on her face, quickly greeted him.

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Hello, I'm receptionist Xiao Yun." Xiao Yun smiled slightly, then extended her right hand, her voice sweet, "Then let me introduce you."

"Thank you." Arriving in an unfamiliar environment, of course, you need a guide.

"The Beastmaster Association is where every Beastmaster's dream begins. We will escort the growth of every Beastmaster and send you the most considerate benefits."

"Please look this way." Xiao Yun stretched out her hand, "This is the front desk. If you need to be certified as a Beastmaster or receive a task, you need to go through the front desk staff for confirmation."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly. There were five staff members at the front desk, all sitting in front of computers.

Perhaps because it was close to get off work, there were no Beastmasters at the front desk, and these staff members were enjoying their leisure.

"This is the mission hall." Xiao Yun led Chen Yuan to several machines, "If you want to receive a mission, you must first determine the area you are in, and then screen according to the mission's receiving requirements."

"Some tasks require multiple people to team up, and some tasks require specific attributes of the pet beasts. The requirements are different and need to be carefully identified."

Chen Yuan asked: "Can I also receive tasks on my mobile phone?"

"Yes." Xiao Yun smiled sweetly, "However, online reception requires qualification review, here you only need to go through the front desk confirmation."

Chen Yuan nodded to show his understanding.

"In addition, the Beastmaster Association also has rest areas, battle areas, fitness areas and other areas to meet the various needs of Beastmasters." Xiao Yun faced Chen Yuan, her voice soft, "Do you want to be certified as a Beastmaster or receive a task now?"

Chen Yuan replied: "I want to find Director Zhou Xu."

He had contacted Zhou Xu before he came, but the call was not connected, apparently he was still busy.

"Director Zhou Xu?" Xiao Yun was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "The president and directors are in a meeting, it may take a while."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait a while."

Xiao Yun reminded: "Sir, there are only twenty minutes left before get off work. I'm not sure if this meeting can end within half an hour."

Chen Yuan understood her implication.

Xiao Yun continued: "If your matter must be handled by Director Zhou Xu, it is recommended to come again tomorrow."

"If not, the staff at the front desk should be able to solve it."

Chen Yuan looked at the time on his phone, then nodded: "Okay, but my matter may take a while, and it is estimated that it will not be finished before get off work."

A smile appeared on Xiao Yun's face: "Even if it's time to get off work, we will finish your business before leaving."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan silently sympathized with these poor workers.

But he said: "Then I'll trouble you."

"No trouble." Xiao Yun smiled slightly, then led Chen Yuan to the front desk and said to the staff, "Sister Li, this Beastmaster needs..."

"What do you need to do?" She turned to look at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan replied: "I want to be certified as an intermediate Beastmaster."

The staff member called Sister Li didn't even lift her head, her fingers crackling on the keyboard: "Okay, to be certified as a primary Beastmaster, please show your personal certificate and summon your pet beast."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something was wrong, her voice stopped abruptly, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Chen Yuan: "Intermediate...Intermediate Beastmaster?"

Inside the conference room,

Wang Jianping scanned the audience, his voice unhurried: "Everyone must attach great importance to the first Baokun City Beastmaster Competition to be held next month."

"From top to bottom, we must cheer up and strive to do our best."

"As for the name you mentioned, I thought about it. Our city's outward-facing brand is Taibai Mountain, so let's just call it Taibai Cup."

As soon as this was said, everyone present nodded in agreement.

"Now that we've finished talking about the name, let's talk about the publicity and registration requirements." Wang Jianping's eyes were like torches, his voice steady, "The publicity must cover all age groups. Whether it is children, students, adults, or the elderly, they must know about the Taibai Cup, and know that the Taibai Cup is a Beastmaster competition."

"As for the registration requirements, as long as it is a primary Beastmaster certified by the association, they can register to participate."

Someone immediately said: "President, in this way, will there be too many Beastmasters participating in the competition, and our workload will be very large?"

Wang Jianping waved his hand, his voice loud: "That's not the case. Most Beastmasters are just beginners. A pet beast battle can be resolved in at most three minutes."

Zhou Xu, who was sitting on the side, nodded: "Yes, low-level pet beast battles do not take time."

The discussion about the Taibai Cup came to an end, and Wang Jianping slowly said: "The next thing is about the abnormality in the depths of the Qinling Mountains."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhou Xu: "After the headquarters learned about the situation here, they attached great importance to it and have made a preliminary plan."

Zhou Xu sat upright.

Wang Jianping said: "After a while, a professor from the Beastmaster Academy headquarters will come here to investigate in depth, and some first-term students will follow him. The headquarters asked us to prepare for the reception in advance, and at the same time pay close attention to all the changes in that forest."

Zhou Xu's face was solemn: "Understood."

"Then let's talk about the last thing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and Wang Jianping's secretary walked in quickly. Wang Jianping frowned, immediately stopped speaking, and everyone present fell silent.

If there was nothing particularly important or urgent, Wang Jianping hated being interrupted during meetings.

But when the secretary leaned to his ear and whispered something, everyone present clearly noticed a very obvious change in Wang Jianping's expression.

First shock, then shock, and finally a kind of...surprise?

Everyone was very curious about the news the secretary told him, but they all pretended to look at their noses, and their noses at their hearts, forcibly suppressing the curiosity in their hearts.

After the secretary left, a faint smile appeared on Wang Jianping's face, undisguised, and said: "Let's discuss the remaining matters tomorrow. Everyone should rest early."

Everyone present nodded, and then watched Wang Jianping get up, and said to Zhou Xu next to him: "You come with me."

The two quickly left the conference room, and the silent room suddenly boiled, with discussions rising and falling.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter?"

In Zhou Xu's impression, Wang Jianping always had an expressionless face and rarely showed this kind of reaction.

"A great thing." Wang Jianping smiled without saying a word, but led Zhou Xu to the battle room on the second floor.
