Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 118 - 107: Cola Wants to Be the Boss



Chapter 118: Chapter 107: Cola Wants to Be the Boss

September 22nd, Sunday.

Sunny.

“Awoo, awoo, awoo~”

Still dreaming, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a heavy weight pressing down on him. He frowned and opened his eyes, and Cola’s face came into view.

Chen Yuan glared at it: “Why are you up so early?”

“Awo?”

Cola instantly widened its eyes in shock.

Isn’t it always the owner who tells me to get up early!

I’ve gotten up early, so why am I being scolded!!!

Chen Yuan coughed lightly: “I asked you to get up early to train, not to disturb my sleep.”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yuan was met with eyes full of hope. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright, what do you want?”

Whenever Cola showed this expression, Chen Yuan knew Cola definitely had something to ask.

If Cola showed a pitiful expression, then it probably did something wrong and was seeking Chen Yuan’s forgiveness in advance.

Sure enough, hearing this, Cola quickly nuzzled Chen Yuan’s palm with its head: “Awoo awoo.”

I want to join the Puppy Team!

Chen Yuan suddenly nodded: “Oh, that thing.”

Yesterday, he had already promised Cola to let it play with the village’s Puppy Team, but ended up being delayed by a rescue incident.

Since it was something he had promised, Chen Yuan had no reason to refuse, so he waved his hand: “Go on, go on, I’m going back to sleep.”

“Awo!”

Upon hearing this, Cola jumped off the bed and rushed out of the bedroom like a bullet.

Chen Yuan was prepared to continue sleeping, but after tossing and turning for a while, he couldn’t fall back asleep, so he simply got up and got dressed.

After breakfast, Chen Yuan sat under the eaves, pondering over the next stage of training plans for the little ones.

“Spark has already broken through to Tier Two; right now the priority is to enhance skill proficiency and break through ranks.”

[Flame Surge] is about to break through, and both [Flame Prison] and [Flame Energy Assault] are nearing Master Level.

It’s just that there’s been no news about the third-level resource Fiery Sun Wood; Chen Yuan even asked his younger brother, and even he hasn’t heard of this name.

But Chen Yuan isn’t in a hurry; Spark’s current strength is already very strong, with no match for the time being.

Following Spark is Cola.

Cola’s current data panel is as follows:

[Race: Gale Hunting Dog (collected)]

Attribute: Wind

Level: 8 (Tier One)

Favorability: 88

Skills: Wind Blade (Proficient 3.4/5) + Wind Stepping (Proficient 3.6/5) + Wind Surge (Basic Mastery 2.8/3) +

Quality: Elite

Promotion to Commander Quality Conditions: Unlockable]

Since Chen Yuan became a mid-tier Beastmaster, Cola’s abilities soared and are already gradually approaching Tier Two, with skill proficiency improved.

“Cola’s current goal is to break through to Tier Two as soon as possible, and enhance Wind Surge skill to Proficient level,” Chen Yuan murmured.

As for the other little ones, they’ve all improved to varying degrees, though not as markedly as Cola.

And after accumulating over this period, Chen Yuan’s Source Point Value reached 15.1, Contribution Value reached 784, both quite sufficient.

“It’s time for a spending spree,” Chen Yuan thought silently.

After thinking it over, Chen Yuan decided to continue using Source Points to accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants, so that the resulting fruits could be directly used to cultivate Pet Beasts or exchanged for resources and cash.

As for Contribution Value…

He opened the Beastmaster website and accessed the advancement conditions for Gale Hunting Dog:

[Gale Hunting Dog Elite — Commander Quality Advancement Conditions]

Chen Yuan clicked purchase directly, and immediately an option popped up:

[800 Contribution Value required for purchase, confirm?]

Chen Yuan: “?”

He remembered that the advancement from Gale Hunting Dog from Normal to Elite Quality only required 80 Contribution Value, but from Elite to Commander, it jumped tenfold.

Though his amount of Contribution Value was considered very sufficient among Beastmasters, he was still a little short for the purchase.

“Alright, alright, just wait a few more days,” Chen Yuan sighed helplessly.

Once any Beastmaster purchases the advancement conditions from normal to elite for Flame Cloud Falcon these days, Chen Yuan would get a share, allowing his Contribution Value to just break 800.

Chen Yuan no longer fretted over this issue and went to the field filled with Spirit Plants, and saw Run Run Duck humming the “Duck Song” while watering.

After watering for so long, Run Run Duck had gained considerable experience; it could now control the intensity of water flow well, allowing each Spirit Plant to enjoy the moisture.

Chen Yuan arrived at the seed of Cyan Fruit planted last night; after a night of growth and Run Run Duck’s watering, the seed surprisingly sprouted.

Yesterday upon returning to the farm, Cola, in its longing for Bear Cub, devoured the Cyan Fruit in one gulp, and Chen Yuan casually planted it in the field.

He gently touched the sprout:

[Cyan Fruit Tree (Growth period)]

[Use Source Point to accelerate its growth?]

Chen Yuan thought it over and directly invested Source Points repeatedly.

Under Chen Yuan and Run Run Duck’s watch, the sprout of the Cyan Fruit Tree started to grow rapidly and wildly, from sprout to stem, leaf, and branches, the tree trunk’s form gradually appeared, eventually growing into a tree over ten meters tall, holding six green fruits.

This process used six Source Points.

“One fruit for each little one; there’s only one left, let’s give it to Cola,” Chen Yuan decided.

Cola’s current battle style is basically set; its agile and flexible body paired with Wind Type skill [Wind Stepping] makes its speed unmatched by ordinary Pet Beasts.

If Spark is about bombing opponents with violent ranged attacks, Cola is about mocking enemies with incredibly fast speed.

Enhancing strengths is the key to maximizing resource utilization.

But as Cola went to the village to have fun, Chen Yuan had to pick five fruits first and distribute them to the other little ones.

“Quack quack.”

Run Run Duck received the Cyan Fruit, first carefully observing it, then sniffing its scent.

Hmm, no strange smell.
