Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 305 - 185: Incredible Farm Observations (Part 2)
The men on the construction site tread on each other’s long shadows as they pass by the village entrance, joking with a mix of coarse and refined humor, with mud splattered on their pant legs.
As dusk deepens, Chen Yuan and his group arrive at Xuanhe Village.
“Have we arrived?”
“Yes, this is Xuanhe Village.”
Jiang Wenning takes out her phone, accompanied by the sound of clicking, she photographs the surroundings one by one.
Without needing to retouch the images, she sends them directly to the group chat, adding an emoji of a grinning cat.
Li Junyue replies with three thumbs up, leading Jiang Wenning to mutter, “Boring middle-aged man.”
Chang Yuhuan: “Wow, this is so beautiful, the shots are stunning, with so much artistic vibe, you should be the photographer!”
Jiang Wenning’s eyes curve with joy, feeling full of emotional value from Chang Yuhuan’s words.
Unfortunately, many men don’t understand how to provide enough emotional value to women, often leading to conflicts and disagreements in relationships.
Chen Yuan releases Spark and Cola from the Pet Beast space: “You guys go play on your own.”
The two little ones have grown larger, making it inconvenient to move around public places, so they’ve been cooped up in the Pet Beast space these days.
Chen Yuan sometimes wonders if there’s a skill to arbitrarily change their size.
If so, he could go back to the time when Spark stood on his shoulder and Cola snuggled in his arms.
Seeing the mighty Gale Hunting Dog, Lu Ran’s eyes light up, he instinctively says, “Advisor Chen… Mr. Chen, call the fight!”
Chen Yuan glances sideways: “Wait until the event is over.”
In front of the stern face of Chen Yuan, the fearless Lu Ran always feels like he’s facing the headmaster, his fighting spirit dissipating instantly.
“Woof woof~”
Cola swishes its tail, sniffing the scent of the Puppy Team, and goes directly to find them.
“Peek~”
Spark spreads its wings and flies high, soaring freely under the dusk-shaded sky.
It was miserable being stuck in the city, finally free to fly into the sky.
Walking into Xuanhe Village, the clean and tidy streets leave a very good first impression.
It doesn’t seem like a village in a remote mountain area; it feels more like a developed coastal town.
Moreover, the scale of this village is obviously large, houses are closely built, shops line the streets, there are supermarkets, restaurants, like anything but a remote rural area.
Professor Song quietly sighs: “The new era has given this place new life.”
“Advisor Chen!”
From afar, Zhao San spots the most noticeable Chen Yuan among the crowd, waves his hand, then puts several fresh fruits into a bag and strides over.
Chen Yuan quickly waves his hand: “No, no, no.”
“Advisor Chen, you have to accept it!”
After excusing himself for a while, seeing Chen Yuan insist on not accepting the fruits, Zhao San directly places the bag in front of him, then turns and runs away.
Chen Yuan smiles helplessly, and has to distribute the fruits to others.
Lu Ran takes a bite unceremoniously, feeling the rich juice filling his mouth, he gives a thumbs up: “It tastes good.”
Chen Wenhao asks, “Brother, what’s going on?”
Chen Yuan explains: “Saved his life a while ago, and every time I pass by here, he brings a few fruits.”
Pausing, he adds, “Actually, it wasn’t really saving a life, just dealt with something on the side.”
Professor Song smiles: “Don’t mind the process, as long as the result is good.”
As they move forward, villagers continuously wave at Chen Yuan, vendors with distinctly non-local accents shout “Advisor Chen.”
Professor Song remarks, “This village is proud to have someone as talented as you.”
Chen Yuan remains noncommittal.
Actually, it’s because the little ones often come to the streets to shop with their pocket money, directly stimulating economic development while improving the favorability among the vendors.
A few steps further, Song Guohao, along with Zhang Hao and Shao Yang, rushes over to welcome them into the office.
Since tonight is free arrangement, the students plan to roam around the village, while Chen Wenhao invites Professor Song and his junior Zhang Yu to visit his home.
Chen Yuan extends an invitation to Jiang Wenning.
After hearing that the research team would stay in Xuanhe Village overnight, the old man had already issued an order: invite everyone to visit the home.
Not being very familiar with others, Chen Yuan and Chen Wenhao extend a courtesy invitation, unsurprisingly they are politely declined.
Leaving only the three guests: Professor Song, Jiang Wenning, and Zhang Yu.
“Senior, I didn’t expect you to be a farmer.” Knowing Chen Wenhao’s family has a farm makes Zhang Yu, who grew up in the city, quite excited.
Chen Wenhao shakes his head: “Just growing some vegetables and fruits to make a living, hardly a farmer.”
Zhang Yu says, “Brother, I heard some farms are trying to cultivate spirit plants, given your farm’s good location, you could try it.”
Chen Wenhao looks sideways at Chen Yuan, who smiles slightly: “We’re trying.”
Zhang Yu continues, “Brother, I’ll introduce you to a friend who researches spirit plants; he’s very skilled, has already matured a level two spirit plant.”
“Oh, that’s quite impressive.” Chen Wenhao nods.
Being able to mature a level two spirit plant qualifies one for an outstanding student application in the research department.
If more get matured, becoming an outstanding student is a breeze, and afterward, companies will scramble for them.
Research talents are, in some ways, more valuable than powerful Beastmasters.
“Once you’ve raised spirit plants, you will inevitably be disturbed by wild pet beasts, so you’ll need to keep some guard pet beasts around.”
“They don’t need to be strong, as long as they serve as a warning.” Zhang Yu talks so confidently, he seems quite knowledgeable in this area.
Professor Song jokingly scolds, “You boy, when I told you to read up on pet beasts, did you focus on spirit plants?”
