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

"Did I really win?" Seeing the Silver-Armored Mantis lying on the ground, Zhou Xu was still a little incredulous. He rubbed his eyes and spoke in a daze.

How is this different from the plot he imagined?

Moreover, the ease with which Firestone defeated the Silver-Armored Mantis was similar to how the Silver-Armored Mantis defeated that berserk second-tier pet.

Both were equally effortless.

But Su Quan is a captain-level figure in the Task Force Department. You have to know that there are less than ten captains in the Task Force Department now, and each of them is a mid-level Beastmaster.

Originally, he just wanted Su Quan to test Chen Yuan's strength. After all, the latter was just a forest ranger. Although his talent was excellent, his combat experience was definitely far inferior to the former.

But in just a few minutes, the battle situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Silver-Armored Mantis was no match for the Flame Cloud Falcon at all.

Zhou Xu's gaze constantly shifted between the two, his thoughts surging, and he whispered to himself: "This is not a difference in command or tactics."

"But a real difference in hard power."

The combat power displayed by the Flame Cloud Falcon undoubtedly surpassed the Silver-Armored Mantis by a lot.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jianping, preparing to express his thoughts, but saw the latter staring at Chen Yuan intently, the corners of his mouth rising slightly involuntarily.

Zhou Xu didn't speak, but Wang Jianping murmured: "If he maintains this rate of progress, it won't be long before our association will be glorified because of him."

"No." Wang Jianping shook his head. "We are already glorified because of him."

"I lost." Su Quan came back to his senses. He strode to the Silver-Armored Mantis, took the healing ointment from Xiao Tao's hand, and personally applied it to the mantis.

This kind of healing ointment is quite expensive, but it can effectively and quickly treat various injuries.

Su Quan's movements were exceptionally gentle and meticulous, without missing any charred areas.

At the same time,

Chen Yuan also used the ointment handed over by Xiao Tao to heal Firestone, while saying softly: "Thank you, Firestone. You performed very well this time."

As a qualified Beastmaster, the emotional value given to pets must be maximized.

"Chirp ~"

While feeling the coolness of the ointment applied to its wings, Firestone affectionately rubbed Chen Yuan's cheek.

At this time, Su Quan had already applied the ointment and put the Silver-Armored Mantis back into the pet space to rest.

In the pet space, the pet's injuries will recover at a faster rate.

He slowly walked towards Chen Yuan and extended his right hand, a hint of a smile appearing on his originally calm face: "Let me introduce myself. I am Su Quan, the captain of the seventh squad of the Task Force Department."

Chen Yuan shook his hand: "Chen Yuan, currently a forest ranger."

Upon hearing the words 'forest ranger', Su Quan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Forest ranger?"

Without waiting for Chen Yuan to respond, he adjusted his dazed thoughts and stated his true purpose: "Chen Yuan, are you interested in joining the Task Force Department?"

"I can directly recommend you. As long as your identity information passes, I guarantee you can directly become a captain."

Chen Yuan's expression froze.

Another olive branch?

At this moment, he heard Wang Jianping cough heavily and walk to the two of them in big strides, saying unhurriedly: "Captain Su, I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the regulations."

Su Quan grinned: "Chairman Wang, you should know better than me that regulations are for mediocre talents. Extremely outstanding talents like Chen Yuan can completely ignore all regulations."

Wang Jianping frowned upon hearing these words, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan is now a consultant of our Baokun City Beastmaster Association, and also holds the position of forest ranger. He cannot join the Task Force Department."

He suddenly regretted letting Su Quan help test Chen Yuan's strength.

Su Quan waved his hand: "These are not problems. Our Task Force Department can help solve them."

After saying that, he stared at Chen Yuan, his gaze fiery: "Chen Yuan, with the talent and strength you have shown so far, you can enjoy the highest standard of training when you come to the Task Force Department, allowing you to grow at a faster rate."

"I'm sorry, Captain Su, I don't have any intention of joining the Task Force Department for the time being. I only hope..." Chen Yuan smiled helplessly, expressing his wish to stay in the mountains.

"That's a pity." Su Quan sighed secretly, then handed over a business card under Wang Jianping's gaze, "This has my contact information on it. Contact me immediately as soon as you change your mind."

"Our Task Force Department, from top to bottom, welcomes the joining of a genius like you."

Chen Yuan hesitated slightly. After seeing Wang Jianping nod lightly, he still took the business card: "Okay."

"Chairman Wang, then I'll leave first." Su Quan waved to the three and turned to leave the battle room.

Chen Yuan hurriedly said: "Captain Su, please wait."

Su Quan: "?"

After a while,

After Su Quan left, Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Wang Jianping and reiterated: "Chairman, I will not leave the Qinling Mountains."

Wang Jianping glanced at Chen Yuan and said with a complicated tone: "Actually, Captain Su is right. The Task Force Department is a good choice. The training intensity is greater than that of the association, but..."

He paused and sighed: "They are all performing the most dangerous tasks."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment.

"But it's definitely right to have a good relationship with them. You will definitely have opportunities to contact them in the future."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Seeing the change in Chen Yuan's expression, Wang Jianping timely shifted the topic, "We will upload this battle video to headquarters now. I estimate it won't be long before it passes the review."

"It's getting late. Let's have a meal together today."

"At the restaurant on the fifth floor."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Then I'll be troubling Chairman Wang."

"How could that be troubling?" Wang Jianping patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder, his tone gentle, "I should be thanking you for bringing two big surprises to the association."

Chen Yuan smiled without speaking.

Zhou Xu suddenly said: "Chairman, Team Leader Su sent a message asking me to send him the battle video."

Wang Jianping said: "Send it to him. He probably wants to take it back for review."

"Never mind him. Xiao Xu, you upload the video. I'll take Consultant Chen to the restaurant first."

Sitting in the back seat of the SUV, Su Quan manipulated his laptop, forwarding the battle video sent by Zhou Xu to a contact labeled "Boss."

At the same time, he sent a message: "Boss, are you busy? Help me analyze the strength of this Flame Cloud Falcon."

Boss: "1."

Seeing the reply, Su Quan closed his eyes and quietly recalled the previous battle scene.

After a moment, his forehead was covered in fine sweat.

No mistake from beginning to end!

His command had not made any mistakes from beginning to end. At most, he hesitated slightly after the Silver-Armored Mantis hit the Flame Cloud Falcon with 'Charge Blade,' wondering whether to press the attack.

This was, after all, just a battle to test his level, and the association's leader was watching from the sidelines.

But apart from this detail not being done perfectly, he made no other mistakes.

Su Quan did not think that this detail led to his failure. Even if he had pressed the attack and achieved some effect, it would not have directly caused it to lose its combat ability.

On the contrary, the Flame Cloud Falcon's combat power was significantly higher than the Silver-Armored Mantis, so every attack was particularly deadly.

Just as he was reviewing the battle, his phone rang with a message notification. He immediately opened his eyes.

Boss: "There are only two reasons why you lost the battle."

"First, the Flame Cloud Falcon's skill proficiency is extremely high. Flame Surge is even close to the mastery level. Moreover, it seems to have consumed a lot of nurturing resources, and the power of its fire-type moves far exceeds the ordinary."

"Second, steel-type pets have a natural disadvantage against fire-type pets."

Su Quan silently nodded, as these were also the two important reasons he believed.

Boss: "What's this person's identity? Can we recruit him to our department? We can promise him a squad leader position and give him the highest level of nurturing resources."

Su Quan smiled wryly and sent a message: "Boss, don't even think about it. He's just a forest ranger who only wants to stay in the mountains."

Boss: "?"

September 19th, Friday.

The weather is cloudy.

Waking up, it was already almost noon.

Chen Yuan groggily opened his eyes and subconsciously reached for his phone under the pillow. He pressed the unlock button, and the dazzling light made him squint.

After a while, a text message popped up:

[Dear Mr. Chen Yuan, congratulations on passing the Intermediate Beast Master Certification. From this moment on, you are the eighty-eighth Intermediate Beast Master of the Dong Huang Beast Master Association Headquarters. May your future Beast Master path be smooth sailing.

In view of your outstanding contributions, you will receive 500 contribution points.

— Dong Huang Beast Master Association Headquarters]

Five hundred contribution points!

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he opened the Beast Master official website:

[Name]: Chen Yuan

[Age]: 25

[Level]: Intermediate Beast Master

[Affiliated Association]: Baokun City Beast Master Association

[Contribution Points]: 766

Adding the remaining contribution points from before, and the contribution points continuously obtained from the Flame Cloud Falcon's advancement requirements, Chen Yuan's current total contribution points exceeded seven hundred, enough to purchase two level-three resources.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu called:

"I received a notification that you have become an Intermediate Beast Master."

Chen Yuan nodded and smiled: "I saw the message too."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Baokun City's first Intermediate Beast Master." Zhou Xu's tone was filled with smiles.

After a slight pause, he continued: "However, the second Intermediate Beast Master should appear soon."

"The second one?" Chen Yuan asked.

Zhou Xu nodded and replied: "Our association currently has two consultants, one is you, and the other consultant is estimated to become an Intermediate Beast Master soon."

"He's quite a bit older than you, but his Beast Master talent is very high. He's the first Beast Master in Baokun City to successfully meditate."

"He cares a lot about face and has a strong desire to win. If he knows that you became an Intermediate Beast Master before him, his reaction will probably be intense."

"What's this consultant's name?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Shi Gang."

Chen Yuan said: "It sounds like a very tough name."

Zhou Xu said quietly: "A fitness enthusiast. His arms are thicker than our thighs."

Chen Yuan gasped, changed the subject, and said: "I heard that there's a genius Beast Master in Baokun City named Zhuang Jianbai."

Zhou Xu waved his hand: "That's just a genius Beast Master on the surface. The real geniuses are like you, unknown to outsiders, but their talent far surpasses the former."

Chen Yuan was a little flattered by Zhou Xu's praise. He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind."

Zhou Xu shook his head: "The most outstanding Beast Masters are gathered in three places: the Investigation Department, the Beast Master Academy Headquarters, and the Beast Master Associations in various regions."

"You are the most exceptional existence."

"A forest ranger in the mountains."
