Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 312 - 187: Win Over Advisor Chen at All Costs!

“That’s the situation.”

“That huge tree is very likely the World Tree known as Cyan.”

Night had fallen deeply,

The four members of the Fruit Factory held an emergency meeting.

The news learned tonight was too astonishing. As soon as they returned to the office, Jiang Wenning impatiently asked the three to enter a state of meditation.

Regular chat discussions could take place in the group, but once it involved important information, they had to enter the highly secure Jade Pendant Space.

After listening to Jiang Wenning’s long speech, a bombardment of massive and heavyweight information overwhelmed Li Junyue and Chang Yuhuan’s minds. They remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Yuhuan’s voice slowly sounded: “If the spots recorded by this jade pendant represent the divine beings, then aren’t we the chosen ones?”

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but retort, “What kind of anime setting is this?”

Li Junyue’s eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice, “I’m curious about one thing, why does this jade pendant need to record the locations of the divine beings?”

Jiang Wenning took the lead in guessing, “Since civilizations have existed, then for maintaining dominance, this civilization would certainly view these divine beings as threats, and recording their locations would be a necessary precautionary measure.”

“It’s also possible that these jade pendants were tokens bestowed by the divine beings, specifically given to the ancestors who worshipped them, to help find their locations.”

“A very reasonable analysis!” Chang Yuhuan praised.

Chang Yuhuan’s compliment made Jiang Wenning’s mouth curve upward, and her voice continued, “It seems that the origin of this jade pendant is quite incredible.”

Chen Yuan said, “In that era of information blockade, being able to transmit sound over a thousand miles was already an incredible feat.”

“So now there’s a question, how should we handle these jade pendants?” Li Junyue asked solemnly.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

It is known that the authorities are urgently searching for the whereabouts of the divine beings, and they happen to possess jade pendants that hold the whereabouts.

Now two choices lay before them:

First, hand them over to the authorities.

Second, keep them for personal use.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Rather than considering how to handle this jade pendant, we should first confirm whether that giant tree is indeed the World Tree.”

“I agree,” Li Junyue endorsed Chen Yuan’s statement.

Li Junyue understands very well that his ability to become a mid-level Beastmaster and join the Investigation Department as he wished was all thanks to this jade pendant.

Without the jade pendant, he would not have met Chen Yuan and Jiang Wenning and received unimaginable assistance.

Once the jade pendant is handed over, it would mean the four of them lose the most vital link.

Even if there is contact information, it is highly likely that over time, the communication will gradually decrease.

As an adult, Li Junyue understands this well; without common interests or goals, relationships fading is just a matter of time.

Jiang Wenning followed up, “Yes, let’s wait until we check the situation.”

Chen Yuan wasn’t just going to check the situation; he had a very important task to do. If this giant tree is indeed the World Tree, how much Source Point would touching a Legendary Level Extraordinary Creature provide?

As long as he can touch it once, getting rich would not be a problem at all.

Since they needed to get up early to go into the mountains, Chen Yuan and Jiang Wenning did not chat much and went to sleep early.

Professor Song, however, did not go to bed early.

“Dean Wu, you must pay attention to this matter. He is an invaluable all-rounder talent. Our academy must find a way to recruit him.”

A laugh came from the other side of the phone, “Old Song, we’ve worked together for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen you so highly promote a young person.”

Professor Song’s face was serious, “Because he is very special, with strong beast-taming skills, an incredible academic intuition, and a dedicated academic spirit.”

“Even in our academy, almost no students surpass him.”

Dean Wu laughed heartily, “Old Song, after just one day of interaction, you’re already bending over backward.”

Professor Song replied earnestly, “I even think he chose the wrong path by becoming a Beastmaster.”

“If he focused on research, with time, he would certainly become a prominent figure.”

Hearing Professor Song’s high evaluation, Dean Wu’s laughter faded, turning his tone increasingly serious, “Old Song, I trust your judgment, but having a young person take on a major role might be difficult to convince the crowd.”

Professor Song glared, “Why care about those mediocre opinions?”

Dean Wu responded calmly, “Old Song, you’re still so stubborn. With your deep experience, of course, you don’t need to care, but a young person becoming a professor would inevitably face gossip, and our academy might even be questioned.”

Professor Song exhaled lightly, adjusted his mood, and said solemnly, “This is a new era, we need more young people to join this tidal wave.”

“We’ve all aged, doing something before retirement is enough.”

“The other old folks are the same, don’t sit on the toilet…”

The voice abruptly stopped, realizing that his words were somewhat coarse, Professor Song changed his phrasing, “Don’t block the path for the young.”

“Our newly established academy needs more fresh blood, not more old people who can’t take two steps without panting.”

“Oh, you…” Dean Wu let out a low laugh, soon saying, “So tell me, how do we recruit this person?”

Professor Song’s face blossomed into a smile, “I don’t know either.”

Dean Wu shouted angrily, “Old Song, you…!”

“He doesn’t seek fame or gain, nor does he want to leave his hometown. I’ve persuaded him several times, but it didn’t work.” Professor Song showed a thoughtful expression, pondering, “We need to approach this from another angle.”

“Like what?”

Professor Song shook his head, “Don’t ask me, I know nothing.”
