Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The Duck Who Changed Its Mind
“Ga.”
The Run Run Duck strutted into the farm, while the cheerful Cola led the way ahead.
Chen Yuan, who was busy in the field, turned his head and was dumbfounded the moment he saw Run Run Duck.
He noticed that Run Run Duck had a sharp-ended wooden stick casually carried over its shoulder, with several oddly-shaped Spirit Fish skewered on it.
But more than this, Chen Yuan was curious why Run Run Duck appeared on the farm?
Didn’t it refuse his invitation?
Had it changed its mind?
Feeling a rush of thoughts, Chen Yuan stepped forward with a sincere smile: “Run Run Duck, welcome to the farm.”
“Ga ga.”
Run Run Duck stopped, nodded to Chen Yuan, and then handed him the stick.
Ducky wants to eat fried Spirit Fish!
Chen Yuan called for Spark, the Extraordinary Creatures translator officer came online once more.
“Tweet?”
“Ga ga ga~”
“Ow——!”
“Tweet tweet tweet?”
“Ga ga ga!”
After a moment of exchange, Chen Yuan finally understood Run Run Duck’s true thoughts.
It turned out that in the morning, Run Run Duck didn’t actually refuse the invitation but wanted to catch some Spirit Fish to bring to the farm first.
But once it caught the Spirit Fish, and emerged from the lake.
Hello, all of you had disappeared.
Chen Yuan helplessly patted his forehead: “Could this really be a misunderstood meaning?”
Then, he paused and asked: “How did you get here?”
Mingyu Lake to the farm is quite a distance, how did Run Run Duck’s short legs make it?
“Ga ga ga~”
Run Run Duck flicked its fluffy hair, showing a smug expression, and pointed to the small river outside the farm.
I swam across this river duck!
Chen Yuan suddenly understood: “I see, that’s how it is.”
Indeed, there is a small river outside the farm that leads directly to Mingyu Lake.
Knowing the reason, Chen Yuan took the stick, smiling brightly: “Alright, welcome to join us.”
He paused and said: “From now on, you can have fried fish every day.”
“Ga ga ga!”
Finally hearing the awaited words, Run Run Duck nodded with satisfaction, a bright smile blooming on its face.
Ducky says, that’s what I came for!
“The burden is getting heavier…” Chen Yuan muttered inwardly.
At present, the farm has Spark, Cola, Iron Head, Bean Chicken, and Run Run Duck, totaling five Extraordinary Creatures, and certainly more will be added.
Their current appetite is manageable, but as their numbers keep increasing, the costs will skyrocket.
Moreover, this Run Run Duck probably looks down on ordinary fish.
Placing the Spirit Fish into the refrigerator, Chen Yuan went to the yard, looking at the Run Run Duck playing with Cola: “Run Run Duck, time to fulfill your duty.”
“Ga.”
Run Run Duck tilted its head at Chen Yuan, looking puzzled.
Chen Yuan cleared his throat and pointed to the four fruit seeds he had planted, saying: “Your duty is to water them, start by trying it out?”
“Ga~”
Run Run Duck didn’t refuse, waddling over to the fruit seeds, first bowing its head to inspect them for a while, then looking at Chen Yuan with a bemused face: “Ga?”
How much water to pour duck?
Chen Yuan helplessly patted his forehead: “Just start pouring, I’ll tell you when to stop.”
“Ga ga.” Run Run Duck nodded.
In the next moment,
Run Run Duck suddenly became serious, focusing intently on the ground, opening its mouth wide, and spraying a slender stream of water, watering the ground and the seed.
“Ease a bit on the intensity.” Chen Yuan promptly reminded.
Run Run Duck didn’t respond, just adjusted the water stream to be finer, sprinkling it evenly onto the seeds.
After watering all four, Chen Yuan immediately shouted: “Alright, that’s enough.”
“Ga.”
Run Run Duck stopped its actions, then set its hands on hips, looking at Chen Yuan: “Ga ga ga?”
How did Ducky perform?
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, giving a thumbs up: “Very good.”
He paused and spoke softly: “Run Run Duck, on the farm all you need to do is to water them regularly every day.”
“Ga ga ga!”
Run Run Duck patted its chest, nodding repeatedly.
This small task is on Ducky.
Chen Yuan’s voice continued: “Oh, and those two vegetable plots also need your help to water.”
He pointed to the two larger vegetable plots.
Run Run Duck’s eyes widened: “Ga?”
…
To celebrate Run Run Duck’s arrival at the farm, Chen Yuan carefully prepared a whole fish feast, including fried Spirit Fish and spicy fish slices.
Run Run Duck and Cola were the happiest eaters, their mouths never stopped chewing; Spark’s eating was still graceful, chewing slowly.
Having fish every day, Chen Yuan was somewhat tired of it, already contemplating cooking other dishes tomorrow.
“Run Run Duck, besides fish, is there anything else you like to eat?” Chen Yuan suddenly asked.
“Ga.” Run Run Duck shook its head.
Don’t know duck.
Chen Yuan laughed helplessly: “Alright.”
To meet Run Run Duck’s basic needs, Spirit Fish must be provided regularly, while exploring other foods it might like.
Chen Yuan suddenly felt feeding so many Pet Beasts is quite challenging, each little fellow having different personalities, different preferences, different diets, hard to cater to all.
“But it’s quite interesting too.” Chen Yuan smiled slightly at the three little fellows on the table.
Just then, the phone in his pocket vibrated continuously, a ringtone followed.
Chen Yuan took out his phone, looking at the caller—Chen Wenhao.
Answering the call, he chuckled: “You finally called me, kid.”
Since the day after the torrential rain ended that call, Chen Wenhao had only contacted him once, no news afterwards.
Chen Wenhao’s tone couldn’t hide his fatigue: “Bro, I’ve been so busy lately, every day I collapse onto the bed, no time to contact you all.”
Chen Yuan pursed his lips with concern: “You still need to find time to rest well, don’t let your body wear out.”
Chen Wenhao laughed: “No worries bro, I’m in good health, how are you and grandpa now?”
“All good, he’s still in the village walking with some grandma now.” Chen Yuan replied.
“That’s good, great to hear.” Chen Wenhao’s weary face showed a smile, he then asked, “Bro, have you become a Beastmaster now? Contracted any Pet Beasts? Any questions?”
Chen Yuan laughed: “I’ve been a Beastmaster for several days now, my starter Pet Beast is the Flame Cloud Falcon, and our Cola evolved into a Gale Hunting Dog.”
Chen Wenhao’s smile grew: “Flame Cloud Falcon, quite a choice for a beginner Beastmaster.”
He paused and said: “But its rank is just ordinary, has low potential ahead. By the way, someone has uploaded the Flame Cloud Falcon’s conditions for advancing from ordinary to elite rank, I’ll buy it for you.”
Chen Yuan shook his head, laughing heartily: “No need.”
Chen Wenhao was puzzled, then advised: “Bro, rank is crucial for Pet Beasts, the higher, the better, I have enough Contribution Value for this.”
Chen Yuan: “Could there be a possibility that the conditions for Flame Cloud Falcon’s advancement were uploaded by me?”
Chen Wenhao: “Huh?”
