Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 45: Big Sister Boss, Mighty and Unyielding!

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Big Sister Boss, Mighty and Unyielding!

Seeing this little fellow trying to provoke him, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: “Do you have anything to argue about?”

“Dian Dian!”

The Electric Flying Cat glared, its electric pouches on its cheeks sparking currents, making its round face appear fiercely cute as it swung its paws wildly.

“Chirp.”

Spark turned its head to look at the Electric Flying Cat, its gaze calm yet holding an inexplicable intimidation.

In an instant, the Electric Flying Cat seemed to wither like a frost-hit eggplant.

It had a strong premonition that if it continued to provoke this human, it would get quite a beating.

“It seems to be very afraid of your Flame Cloud Falcon?” Zhang Hao noticed the change in the Electric Flying Cat, nudging Chen Yuan’s shoulder.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Clearly, the Electric Flying Cat had been subdued by a beating.

Thinking about it, from Cola to Iron Head, from Iron Head to the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle, all the way to this little fellow, none of them were unafraid of Spark.

Though Cola liked challenging Spark, when it came to actual battles, it ran faster than anyone.

The authority of the leader was unmistakable.

Long live the leader!

“Haozi, did you bring the cage?” Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Hao.

“I did.” Zhang Hao took out an iron cage.

Chen Yuan opened the cage door, speaking to the Electric Flying Cat: “Will you go in yourself, or should I invite you in?”

The Electric Flying Cat instinctively wanted to bare its teeth but inexplicably felt a hot breeze over its body, nodded numbly, and walked into the cage.

“So obedient…” Zhang Hao was dumbfounded.

“Well done.” Chen Yuan gave Spark a thumbs up, and the latter nodded modestly, hiding its achievements.

“Woof woof woof!”

Cola bounced around Chen Yuan vigorously, its two paws on Chen Yuan’s waist, barking continuously.

I too, I too!

I also contributed!

“Yes, yes, there’s our Cola too.” Chen Yuan rubbed the dog’s head with a light smile.

Watching the intimate interactions between the human and the two pets, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but think of his Gray-armored Wild Boar, which only eats and sleeps, and felt a pang of jealousy.

Who is envious of me, without saying…

“Uncle Zhao, the thief has been caught, we’ll be leaving now.” Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao lifted the cage, bidding farewell to Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao rubbed his bald head, wrinkles and smiles piled on his face: “No rush, no rush.”

Then, he didn’t know from where he took out a long bamboo pole, walked towards the Luminous Fruit Tree while speaking: “It’s so late to trouble you, I’m not eloquent and don’t know how to properly thank you.”

“Take some fruits with you.”

Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand: “No, Uncle Zhao, we’re all from the same village, we’ll see each other often, you’re being too formal.”

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement: “Yes, Mr. Zhao, helping you solve problems is our duty, no need for rewards.”

“If you feel really bad, just pick some ordinary fruits from the nearby tree, hehe, I’ve been eyeing them for a while.”

“This is not a reward, it’s my gratitude!” Uncle Zhao’s tone was firm.

Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao exchanged glances and smiles, Chen Yuan cleared his throat and said: “Uncle Zhao, these fruits are very precious and can fetch a high price outside.”

“Considering you work hard, keep them and sell for more money.”

“Or I can buy them from you.”

Truth be told, Chen Yuan was quite taken by the Luminous Fruit as they could enhance the wisdom of Pet Beasts and exchange for Source Points.

Buying them was totally worth it.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Uncle Zhao turned to look at Chen Yuan, blowing his beard and glaring: “Little Chen, what are you talking about!”

His chest slightly heaving, those eyes weathered by time shone faintly in the night: “If not for you helping, these fruits wouldn’t be secure, you did me a big favor.”

“But…” Chen Yuan hesitated.

Uncle Zhao glared and spoke with irrefutable determination: “Enough said, as long as this tree is here, it can continuously yield new fruits.”

“These few fruits are my gesture.”

Speaking, Uncle Zhao had already used the bamboo pole to knock down several Luminous Fruits.

“Here, Little Chen, take these.” Uncle Zhao handed over two gleaming Luminous Fruits.

Chen Yuan was silent at first, then accepted them: “Uncle Zhao, whenever you need help, feel free to ask me.”

“Little Zhang, you only have one Pet Beast now, take one. When you contract a second one, come ask me” Uncle Zhao handed another to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao grinned: “Mr. Zhao, I’ll remember that.”

“Alright.” Uncle Zhao nodded with a laugh.

Chen Yuan looked down at the Luminous Fruit in his hand, and the data panel emerged:

[First collection of Luminous Fruit, Source Points +2]

[Name: Luminous Fruit

Level: Level 2 Resource

Effect: Can enhance Pet Beast’s wisdom]

Chen Yuan’s face broke into a smile, sharing the Luminous Fruit with his two little companions: “Here, everyone gets one.”

“Woof woof woof～”

Cola had already smelled the unique scent emanating from the Luminous Fruit, causing its mouth to instinctively water.

This was a fatal temptation stemming from the deepest part of the soul that no Extraordinary Creature could resist.

“Woof.”

Cola swallowed the Luminous Fruit whole, chewing it a bit, and after it went into its stomach, it licked its lips as if still unsatisfied.

Lounging its head sideways, Cola observed its body.

Eh?

No change at all?

Meanwhile,

Spark savored the Luminous Fruit, closed its eyes, and carefully experienced the changes it brought.

“Chirp?”

Spark suddenly opened its eyes, a thought flashed through its gaze.

It seems… it seems thinking became sharper?

“Dian Dian…”

The Electric Flying Cat looked at Cola and Spark, its face awash with envy.

Claws clinging tightly to the iron bars, its whole face pressed against them, its rounded eyes turning and its mouth opened and closed.

But ultimately, it lowered its head sulkily, slumped sitting in the iron cage.

After the two little guys finished eating, Chen Yuan put the remaining fruit cores in his pocket, ready to plant them at home.

“Huff huff.”

The Gray-armored Wild Boar nearby also gazed enviously at the two little guys, its thin pig tail swaying left and right, seemingly unintentionally brushing against Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao looked at the Gray-armored Wild Boar, big eyes staring at small eyes, caught in an eerie silence.

Then, Uncle Zhao knocked down another Luminous Fruit, placing it in front of the Gray-armored Wild Boar: “Fine, you contributed too, just eat one.”

“Huff huff.”

The Gray-armored Wild Boar rubbed its large head against Uncle Zhao, a rough smile spreading across its big face, as it opened its giant mouth to gulp down the Luminous Fruit.

In an instant, the Gray-armored Wild Boar felt refreshed, continuously snorting with its pig tail swinging even more vigorously.

Zhang Hao pursed his lips, his face appeared darker under the night’s cloak.

He seemed to think of something.

Possibly reflecting on his future from the interaction between the Gray-armored Wild Boar and Uncle Zhao, contemplating on his Beastmaster career.

His idea of contracting a cute-type Pet Beast was indeed shattered.

At this moment, Zhang Hao accepted his fate.
