Chapter 52: Chapter 52: I’m Busy Farming
The moonlight was hazy, and the mountains and forests were silent.
Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, assuming a meditation posture, exhaling a long breath as his eyes slowly closed.
In the corner, Cola and the curled-up Electric Flying Cat eyed each other, their gazes constantly clashing, yet neither dared to make a sound, afraid of disturbing Chen Yuan on the bed and Spark resting with closed eyes.
“Ow…”
Cola glared, with a hint of hostility in its eyes towards the Electric Flying Cat.
How annoying.
This was supposed to be its spot…
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan saw that Electric Flying Cat performed well today and no longer hid in various shady corners, so he let it into the room to sleep.
This made life difficult for Cola, which was a size bigger.
The space was already cramped, and with the slightly plump Electric Flying Cat, it was like squeezing two hulking figures into a dressing room, their breathing audible to each other.
Actually, Chen Yuan had noticed this issue and decided to build some little nests for the little guys to ensure Cola’s sleep quality.
Like Iron Head, which could dig holes and stay in the nest, and Run Run Duck could even sleep directly on the water, but Electric Flying Cat would need a stable little nest.
Chen Yuan’s initial idea was—a treehouse in the yard.
Just so happens there is a tall and straight Camphor Tree in the yard, perfect for building the treehouse on it.
After all, Electric Flying Cat can fly, which makes going up and down convenient.
And being far from the ground, it is both private and safe, truly a dream house.
But tonight, Cola must bear with the temporary discomfort.
As thoughts gradually wandered, the Jade Pendant on his chest emitted a glow, two bright dots appeared in his vision, followed by a lively, sweet voice:
“Good evening, Orange, Watermelon.”
Chen Yuan nodded, smiling: “Good evening, Pomelo, and Watermelon.”
“Good evening, both of you.” Listening to their greetings, Li Junyue was engulfed by a strong sense of shame deep within, unable to naturally say the code names.
What kind of mature code names are Orange, Pomelo, Watermelon—definitely not for adults.
“Orange, the Beast Taming Mall is officially online, remember to buy any Spirit Plants you need quickly, lest they are snapped up.” Jiang Wenning is always the first to initiate the conversation.
Chen Yuan picked up the topic: “I’ve already bought them, thanks for the reminder.”
“That’s good.” Jiang Wenning nodded first, then slightly frowned, with a slightly complaining tone, “It’s so annoying, these resources can only be bought with Contribution Value, but it’s too hard to obtain Contribution Value.”
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking silently: “Hard? I don’t feel that way.”
Li Junyue pursed his lips and softly asked: “Is there a stable way to obtain Contribution Value?”
He also noticed the Beast Taming Store today, after briefly browsing, there were many resources useful for his Pet Beast.
But… they were too expensive.
Currently, his Contribution Value is only in single digits, urgently needing a stable way to obtain Contribution Value.
Jiang Wenning counted on her fingers, speaking slowly: “First, do tasks; second, upload advancement conditions or discover new Pet Beasts; third, work at the Beastmaster Association or special institutions, where Contribution Value is fixed monthly, equivalent to a salary.”
Chen Yuan slightly nodded.
Currently, as an advisor for the Baokun City Beastmaster Association, in addition to a fixed salary, he also receives monthly Contribution Value, though the specific amount is unknown for now.
Li Junyue automatically ignored the first two points, looking thoughtful, muttering: “My profession is rather special, so I probably can’t switch to the Beastmaster Association.”
Jiang Wenning asked: “May I boldly ask, what is your profession?”
Chen Yuan was equally curious.
Li Junyue had communicated with them several times, but he was relatively reserved and cautious with his words, revealing very little information.
Li Junyue was silent for a long time, but when he looked up towards the dark bedroom at the end of the hallway, his eyes flickered like fireflies, he murmured: “Police officer.”
Chen Yuan suddenly understood, no wonder Li Junyue was so careful and cautious after meeting them.
Everything was the most reasonable explanation.
Jiang Wenning wasn’t surprised; she rested her chin on her hand, thinking for a moment, suddenly her eyes lit up: “There really is a special institution quite suitable for you.”
“Investigation Department.”
Li Junyue’s pupils contracted slightly, murmuring: “Investigation Department…”
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully; he had heard of this organization long ago.
“Yes, it’s the Investigation Department.” Jiang Wenning nodded lightly, her voice still sweet, “As far as I know, the Investigation Department is under the police system, its function is to handle incidents related to Extraordinary Creatures.”
“Excellent graduates of the Beast Taming Academy can apply to join the Investigation Department, and outstanding employees within the police system have this qualification too, though it’ll be harder.”
“Joining the Investigation Department keeps you within the police system, so organizational changes won’t be too cumbersome, and the future development space is expanded greatly.”
Chen Yuan said: “Pomelo, how come you know everything?”
Jiang Wenning slightly raised her head, a hint of pride in her dark eyes, but her answer was exceptionally modest: “Not really, I just pay more attention to these things usually.”
“Thank you, I will remember that.” Li Junyue nodded deeply, etching the name Investigation Department firmly in his heart.
“Speaking of which, I have something big to tell you.” Suddenly recalling something major, Jiang Wenning’s delicate face turned slightly serious.
Chen Yuan and Li Junyue immediately held their breath and focused.
“The first Donghuang Beastmaster tournament is starting to be arranged.”
Chen Yuan: “What?”
Li Junyue: “?”
Jiang Wenning smiled slightly, her previously serious face now showing amusement: “It’s a Beastmaster showdown, the Beastmaster Association is planning to gather the most powerful Beastmasters to compete and decide the strongest.”
Chen Yuan nodded in realization, speaking calmly: “So that’s how it is.”
Li Junyue said lightly: “Sounds good.”
Jiang Wenning was taken aback, then showed puzzlement: “Shouldn’t you be itching to participate in the competition to become the strongest upon hearing this?”
Li Junyue replied: “Busy with work, busy with life, can’t find the time.”
Chen Yuan replied: “Busy farming, no time.”
Jiang Wenning and Li Junyue both looked towards the center spot, completely bewildered.
Do young people still farm these days?
Chen Yuan guessed their reaction, explaining with a smile: “Actually, I’m a Forest Ranger, helping my grandfather farm usually.”
Only then did the two nod in realization; Jiang Wenning grew even more interested, asked curiously: “Forest Ranger? Sounds impressive, are you patrolling in the mountains all day?”
Chen Yuan said: “Kind of.”
“Which mountain? Have I heard of it?” Jiang Wenning continued to ask.
“Qinling.”
Both: “???”
Jiang Wenning pouted, saying: “It’s not like I don’t know, Qinling isn’t just a single mountain, but a mountain range with many mountains inside.”
“If you’re a Qinling Forest Ranger, just patrolling the Qinling would take several months.”
Li Junyue nodded in agreement.
Chen Yuan shrugged, but did not explain further.
