Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 173 - 133: The Proper Way to Be a Forest Ranger

Chapter 173: Chapter 133: The Proper Way to Be a Forest Ranger

Late into the night,

Beastmaster Association Headquarters Building.

“Finally, I can get off work.” Du Chang stretched lazily, his face showing the deep fatigue of a working man.

Ever since the Spiritual Energy Revival, he had been sent to work at the Beastmaster Association, reviewing the advancement criteria of Pet Beasts.

According to the leadership, this job was very important, requiring them to embody a spirit of dedication.

Such dedication meant working late every day before going home.

Luckily, the overtime pay was ample, and Du Chang had planned to endure for a few years before finding a way to transfer to another position.

Although the Association had imposed many restrictions on uploading advancement criteria, there were still quite a few Beastmasters incorrectly uploading them, requiring preliminary screening, and then sending the criteria to other departments for round after round of judgment.

Only after successful judgment could these advancement criteria pass the review and be published on the official website.

“If only everything were a video.” Du Chang yawned, packing up his things, readying to go home.

If every Beastmaster sent advancement videos, they would save a lot of effort.

“Ding-dong~”

“You have new messages.”

The computer’s notification rang out and Du Chang sighed helplessly, then sat back down.

He glanced around and saw several colleagues, like himself, still at their posts, and some of his resentment waned.

“I want to see who uploaded advancement criteria again; hopefully, they won’t waste my time.”

Du Chang clicked into the page, his eyes lighting up: “A video, surprisingly.”

“Flame Cloud Falcon Elite—Commander Quality advancement criteria…”

Muttering this line of fine print, Du Chang’s eyes widened in surprise, he instinctively sat up straight, controlled the mouse, and opened the video.

The screen revealed a Flame Cloud Falcon, situated between two flaming logs, continuously eating Blazing Fruit.

Despite the video being sped up, it still lasted over an hour.

Du Chang watched the entire thing without skipping a second, quietly sitting in his chair, his gaze tightly fixed on the screen.

“Du Chang, not leaving yet?” a colleague came over to ask.

Du Chang didn’t respond.

The colleague leaned closer to see the screen, then paused to watch.

Who knew how long had passed,

“Chirp!”

The Flame Cloud Falcon in the footage spread its wings, bright flames surged across its body, and three shimmering pentagram symbols flickered on its forehead.

Du Chang slapped the desk with a loud “bang,” his eyes shining, exclaiming, “Advancement succeeded!”

“Commander Quality Flame Cloud Falcon!”

Since he started this job, ninety-nine percent of advancement criteria were from ordinary to elite, with elite to Commander being very rare.

“But what are those two logs?” Du Chang muttered.

“Look.” The colleague behind him pointed to another line of fine print below, “Advancement requires two third-level resource Fiery Sun Woods.”

“Fiery Sun Woods.” Du Chang nodded thoughtfully, then clicked into the uploader’s personal information.

“Chen Yuan, mid-level Beastmaster, previously uploaded the ordinary to elite advancement criteria for Flame Cloud Falcon.”

“Oh, turns out he’s specialized in researching Flame Cloud Falcons.” Du Chang nodded in realization.

“Alright, send this video over there for judgment. If there are no issues, it can pass the review.” Du Chang clicked to send the video.

After a while,

Several departments sent messages expressing there was nothing wrong with the video, so Du Chang clicked to pass the review.

[Esteemed Mr. Chen Yuan, the advancement criteria for Flame Cloud Falcon Elite—Commander you uploaded has passed the review, thank you for your contribution to the Beastmaster Association and all Beastmasters]

In the deep night,

Lying in bed, Chen Yuan received this message and couldn’t help but sigh: “Their work efficiency is really nice.”

Of course, behind such nice work efficiency were unfortunate working people staying up late and working overtime.

Now, as long as a Beastmaster contracts a Flame Cloud Falcon, they must continuously contribute Contribution Value to Chen Yuan.

He’s now added another stable path to earning Contribution Value.

“Once I upload the advancement criteria for Steel-headed Ground Rat and Run Run Duck, I can earn Contribution Value by lying around doing nothing in the future.” Chen Yuan thought with delight.

His thoughts flashed by, and Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something, opened a social platform, and entered a chat group named [Flame Mountain Four-Person Journey]:

“Is everyone asleep?”

Chang Yuhuan: “Not yet, editing photos.”

Liu Jingyi: “Slept.”

Liu Jinglan: “Liu Jingyi! It’s late and you’re not asleep, you have school tomorrow!”

Liu Jingyi: “Good night.”

Chen Yuan edited another message and sent it: “Here’s the thing, do you think we should tell the Beastmaster Association about the special situation at the top of Flame Mountain and let more Beastmasters know?”

Chang Yuhuan: “Up to you, you discovered it.”

Liu Jinglan: “You don’t need to consider our opinions, if you weren’t there, we couldn’t have discovered the special part there.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan didn’t hesitate anymore, directly sending a message to Zhou Xu: “Zhou, when I went to Flame Mountain, I found a special environment…”

“The flames atop the mountain are very beneficial for Fire-type Pet Beasts, you can tell this information to the Fire State Beastmaster Association.”

Soon, Zhou Xu called: “Sure, I’ll contact the staff over there.”

After a pause, he laughed and said, “If it’s confirmed, the Association will surely apply for some Contribution Value for you.”

“There’s such a good thing?” Chen Yuan was taken aback.

He simply thought that such a special environment should be known to more Beastmasters, giving them another path to becoming stronger.

Moreover, such a special environment would definitely be gradually discovered by other Beastmasters, so it’s better to tell them early.

“Surely! Any valuable discovery must have a return; that’s the principle of the Beastmaster Association.”
