Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 350 - 198: The Mountains Can’t Bear to Let Us Go (Part 2)
Chen Yuan walked up to the TV, touched the back of the set, and murmured to himself, “The TV is still warm, seems like it was just used.”
Looks like you can’t hide from the farm owner!
The Electric Flying Cat’s eyes widened, but it tried to remain calm and quickly closed its eyes again.
Chen Yuan walked back to the Electric Flying Cat, waved his phone, and clicked play on the video—the screen immediately showed the scene of the Electric Flying Cat watching TV earlier.
“Dian Dian…..”
The Electric Flying Cat knew it couldn’t hide anymore, so it simply opened its eyes and looked at Chen Yuan with a determined expression.
Ignoring the Electric Flying Cat at first, Chen Yuan untied Run Run Duck’s apron, then turned to look back—Wood Spirit Rat’s family was already obediently standing next to the Electric Flying Cat.
They hung their heads low, eyes evasive.
Under the watchful eyes of the little creatures, Chen Yuan slowly spoke, “Regarding your behavior of having midnight snacks and watching TV, I…..”
Run Run Duck didn’t mind at all, even letting out a big yawn.
After all, it’s the only one who can water the farm, the farm owner would never drive it away.
At most….. at most, a few words of criticism.
Criticism only, Duck, I don’t care at all.
As long as I can still bask in the sun tomorrow, as long as life can go on as usual, Duck, I’m fine with it.
“Dian Dian…..”
The Electric Flying Cat’s expression, however, turned solemn.
Unlike Run Run Duck, the Electric Flying Cat’s role on the farm is not very special; its prideful ability to generate electricity is quite trivial in today’s society.
Especially in the well-developed Donghuang, even in remote mountain villages, power outages only happen occasionally.
Thinking of this, the Electric Flying Cat felt a strong sense of crisis.
Oh no, am I going to be kicked out of the farm?
Remembering its once difficult wandering life, the Electric Flying Cat couldn’t hold back anymore. It jumped down, its two paws tightly hugging Chen Yuan’s leg.
“Dian Dian Dian!”
It looked up, revealing a woeful face.
Wahh, don’t kick me out!
I, the Electric Flying Cat, haven’t even pursued my happiness!
“Quack quack~”
Seeing the Electric Flying Cat’s reaction, Run Run Duck felt sympathy, quickly running to Chen Yuan and using its wings to hug his other leg.
Please don’t, farm owner!
A bead of sweat formed on Chen Yuan’s forehead, what is all this?
“When did I say I was going to kick you out?” Chen Yuan chuckled helplessly, putting both hands on their heads, “As long as you don’t do anything over the line, I won’t drive you off the farm.”
“Dian Dian?”
The Electric Flying Cat lifted its head, blinking its eyes.
Chen Yuan pointed at Wood Spirit Rat’s family and continued, “I want to ask if you were bullying these little ones?”
The Electric Flying Cat shook its head frantically, and Run Run Duck also shook its head.
“Then why were you enjoying yourselves while they were cleaning?”
“Were you bullying them while I wasn’t around?” Chen Yuan’s gaze was sharp, staring at the two little ones.
“Dian Dian!!!”
Hearing these words, the Electric Flying Cat felt terribly wronged. It pulled Run Run Duck beside it, then pointed at Run Run Duck and looked at Wood Spirit Rat’s family, “Dian Dian Dian Dian.”
A moment later,
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, “So you went fishing, Run Run Duck was in charge of frying, and Wood Spirit Rat’s family did the cleaning.”
“In order to eat fish, all of you contributed.”
The Electric Flying Cat nodded repeatedly.
“Is what the Electric Flying Cat said true?” Chen Yuan looked at Wood Spirit Rat’s family. These four little ones hadn’t been on the farm long and usually stayed up in the trees, having little interaction with Chen Yuan and other Pet Beasts.
Should an incident of veteran employees bullying new ones arise, Chen Yuan would have zero tolerance.
Fortunately, he knew Run Run Duck and the Electric Flying Cat weren’t those kinds of personalities despite being a bit lazy.
“Squeak.”
The four Wood Spirit Rats looked at each other, finally stepping forward the largest Wood Spirit Rat with a shallow scar on its left cheek.
To distinguish it, Chen Yuan called this one Scarface Rat.
“Squeak squeak squeak.”
Scarface Rat indicated that the Electric Flying Cat and Run Run Duck didn’t bully them or force them; it was all done voluntarily.
“Dian Dian!”
The Electric Flying Cat couldn’t help but rise proudly.
Chen Yuan had a peculiar expression: “Really voluntary?”
“Squeak.” Scarface Rat nodded.
Chen Yuan looked at Wood Spirit Rat’s family, hesitating: “Then how about I give you a raise, and you…
Pausing, he said what he truly thought: “You guys help with farm cleaning from now on.”
“Squeak!”
Scarface Rat nodded without hesitation.
This was the best chance for their family to get close to the farm owner and win his favor!
To live better, a little more hard work was nothing.
Even if… even if it means taking on more jobs!
With the misunderstanding cleared up, and also hiring Wood Spirit Rat’s family to help with cleaning, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but murmur to himself, “We have waterers, we have catalysts, we have gatekeepers, and now we even have cleaners.”
“I wonder if there are any Pet Beasts who can be chefs?”
This way, Chen Yuan’s daily job would only be to supervise the little ones’ work then wander around.
Achieving modern farm automation.
“Alright, it’s getting late, everyone go back to rest.” Chen Yuan said as his thoughts raced.
“Dian Dian!”
The Electric Flying Cat, relieved, suddenly darted off, almost turning into a yellow flash, disappearing instantly.
“Quack quack~”
Run Run Duck got up, walked out of the hall with Cola, shoulder to shoulder.
“Howl howl howl~”
Cola shared everything that happened during the mountain trip, prancing in the fractured moonlight, circling around Run Run Duck several times.
