Evening.
“Quack, quack.”

Seeing the sun disappear and night fall, Runrun Duck yawned, climbed up from the large stone, and waddled towards the kitchen.
It's getting dark, time for dinner.
Runrun Duck greeted it enthusiastically.
But it was met with a pair of distant and aloof eyes, scaring Runrun Duck into taking a half step back.
Immediately, Runrun Duck rubbed its eyes and looked again. It was still pink hair, a purple long skirt, and still those icy cold eyes.
“Quack, quack, quack!”
Runrun Duck looked panicked and quickly hugged Chen Yuan's leg, shaking it vigorously.
Bad news, Farmer, this child is sick!
Chen Yuan looked down at the anxious Runrun Duck, then turned his head to look at the color-changing Twin Flower Consort, and said helplessly, “I'll explain it to you later.”
Dinner was served.
Chen Yuan, Grandpa, and Runrun Duck sat at the table, while Cola, Spark, Iron Head, Electric Flying Cat, and Bean Chicken stood on the ground.
The little guys were different sizes; only Runrun Duck was suitable to be at the table.
Well, not that kind of suitable.
Chen Yuan said, “This little fellow's situation is quite special. During the day, everything except her hair turns pink, and at night it's the opposite.”
“During the day, her personality is more lively and cheerful, but at night... it's like this now.”
During the day, the Twin Flower Consort smiled at every pet, but at night, she would only smile at Chen Yuan.
The little guys all looked at the Twin Flower Consort sitting on Chen Yuan's shoulder with a cold expression. Iron Head's eyes flashed with contemplation, Electric Flying Cat nodded thoughtfully, Runrun Duck ate heartily, taking the opportunity to grab a slice of fish, and Cola stared blankly.
Chen Weiyi said worriedly, “Is this normal? Should you go ask those experts and professors?”
Chen Yuan smiled dumbly, “Grandpa, her name is Twin Flower Consort, so this should be normal.”
Being a twin, and having two colors, it should be normal for her personality to be different during the day and night.
It's just that…
Chen Yuan wasn't a psychological expert, and he wasn't sure if this situation was a split personality or simply two personality states, but the essence was still one soul.
He never made hasty judgments about things he wasn't sure about, so he secretly decided to ask his younger brother to help ask professionals, while he himself would pay close attention to the Twin Flower Consort's psychological state.
The night deepened.
Chen Yuan went to bed, and the Twin Flower Consort skillfully burrowed into his collar, sleeping against his chest.
Chen Yuan looked at the little face so close to him, the long eyelashes tightly closed. He couldn't bear to refuse, but secretly thought, “I need to buy a few clothes with pockets on the chest.”
That way, the Twin Flower Consort could stay in the chest pocket to sleep.
But then he thought, what if he accidentally pressed on the little guy while sleeping, that would be bad.
“But she can rest in the pocket.”
September 27th, Friday.
“Yinyin～”
As soon as it dawned, the cute and lively Twin Flower Consort poked a small head out of his collar, her pink eyes like sparkling gems, making Chen Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, “What Flame Tail Fox, what Ice凝 Fox, I'm not familiar with them.”
“When it comes to cute pets, it has to be the Twin Flower Consort!”
Seeing the Twin Flower Consort's sweet smile, Chen Yuan immediately felt much better. He got dressed, got out of bed, and opened the door, instantly discovering several chicks guarding the door.
“What are you doing?” Chen Yuan asked in confusion.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.”
One of the chicks squeezed to the front, and Chen Yuan noticed that there was a huge egg behind it.
The chick tried hard to raise its head and looked at the Twin Flower Consort on Chen Yuan's shoulder, like a young man eager to show himself in front of a goddess. It pushed the egg forward, its eyes filled with obvious anticipation.
Just as Chen Yuan was stunned, the other chicks pushed and shoved, desperately squeezing to the front. They were all pushing an egg, seemingly trying to win the goddess's favor with the eggs.
“This is a Bean Chicken egg.” Chen Yuan glanced at it and immediately judged.
Bean Chicken's eggs are larger than ordinary chicken eggs.
Chen Yuan suddenly realized something, his pupils shrank, and he said in astonishment, “You stole the eggs laid by the chicken mama?”
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.”
The chicks instantly averted their eyes and pushed each other, trying to hide behind.
Good, good, stealing the eggs laid by their mother, just to show themselves in front of the Twin Flower Consort.
You licking... licking chickens, you're really something.
Bean Chickens, like ordinary hens, have the ability to lay eggs themselves, but without fertilization from a rooster, these eggs cannot hatch into chicks.
As for the rooster that once mated with the Bean Chicken, it had long been made into roast chicken by the hungry Chen Yuan one rainy night.
So the eggs laid by the Bean Chicken now can actually be eaten.
It's just that Chen Yuan never expected that instead of him taking them, these chicks would obediently bring them.
“Yinyin～”
The Twin Flower Consort smiled at each chick, nodded slightly, and politely declined their kindness.
“Cluck, cluck, cluck.”
The chicks were all very dejected, but suddenly saw a pair of big hands unceremoniously picking up the eggs, muttering, “Might as well taste what Bean Chicken eggs taste like.”
After a long while,
Boiled Bean Chicken eggs were placed on the table. Chen Yuan peeled the eggshell, separated the egg white and yolk, and broke them into many small pieces, placing them in front of the Twin Flower Consort.
Cola, lying under the table and eating pet food, felt that it was dull and tasteless when it saw this scene.
It had no choice but to gulp down a bottle of Cola.
Cola felt a heartache as the Cola went down its throat.
Chen Yuan noticed Cola's psychological changes, he reached out and touched Cola's head, and smiled: "The little guys who are just born always have preferential treatment, weren't you the same when you were young?"
Cola squinted its eyes and couldn't help but recall when it was just born, it was also treated so patiently and gently by Chen Yuan.
The owner would use those gentle big hands to break up the food and then feed it into its mouth.
Thinking of this, Cola couldn't help but show a silly smile, and the pet food in its mouth instantly became delicious.
Seeing Cola's reaction, Chen Yuan secretly felt ashamed.
Since there were more and more little guys on the farm, plus a lot of things piled up on the side, he could clearly feel that his energy was not enough.
It was difficult to give the same care and love to every little guy.
“But that's no excuse.”
“I've decided to start reducing my entertainment time by half an hour from today and use that time to care about the little guys.” Chen Yuan made up his mind.
After finishing breakfast,
Chen Yuan decided to rest for ten minutes and took out his phone to browse videos.
Just as he flipped to an interesting video, Zhou Xu's phone call came.
“After confirmation, your task yesterday can give you a total of 300 contribution points.”
“Among them, deterring the servant bee swarm and the Sweet Bee Queen is worth 200 contribution points, and discovering a new pet of the Lord rank and uploading relevant information is worth 100 contribution points.”
“If the value of this pet rises in the subsequent potential assessment, you will also be given a sum of contribution points.” Zhou Xu said straight to the point.
Chen Yuan was overjoyed.
The contribution points obtained from this task could directly purchase a level three resource.
After the Beastmaster level was improved, the ability to earn contribution points was also correspondingly improved a lot.
“In addition, in response to the discovery you and that ranger named Lao Xing made, the association headquarters decided to give each person 150 contribution points.”
After a slight pause, Zhou Xu's voice was mixed with a smile: “Don't think it's too little, this is only temporary. After investigating and confirming the importance of this forest in the future, you will still be able to get contribution points.”
Chen Yuan had to admire the generosity of the Beastmaster Association.
The more emerging an organization is, the more generous it is.
In this way, he could get 450 contribution points in one go, which was not much less than the reward for becoming an Intermediate Beastmaster among the top 100.
“Cola's advancement is promising.” Chen Yuan thought secretly.
“There is one more thing, which the president specifically asked me to ask for your opinion.” Zhou Xu said again.
“What's the matter?” Chen Yuan asked.
Zhou Xu weighed his words and said slowly: “On the first of next month, our Baokun City will hold the first Beastmaster Competition, the Taibai Cup.”
“At that time, all Beastmasters registered with the Beastmaster Association in the city can sign up to participate. The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, elimination rounds, and finals.”
“As long as you can enter the finals, you can get different rewards according to the order of the rankings.”
“Are you interested?”
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, “How long will the competition last?”
“A week.” Zhou Xu.
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: “Just now it was a seven-day holiday.”
But for the rangers, they don't have a holiday, so Chen Yuan shook his head: “Forget it.”
Participating in the competition is time-consuming and laborious, and you have to stay in Baokun City for a week. Isn't it more profitable to stay in the mountains?
Finding new pets and discovering new spiritual plants, isn't the income greater than playing in the competition?
Hearing Chen Yuan's unhesitating refusal, Zhou Xu said with a chuckle: “The president had already guessed that you would refuse, so we actually want you to participate in the exhibition match.”
“Exhibition match?” Chen Yuan looked puzzled.
Zhou Xu nodded and explained patiently: “An opening ceremony will be held on the morning of the first. At that time, many leaders, Beastmasters, and people from all walks of life will come to participate, and we will also broadcast it live so that all citizens of the city can witness this grand event with their own eyes.”
“There is an extremely important process in the opening ceremony, which is the exhibition match.”
“Two powerful Beastmasters are needed to conduct a pet battle, using a wonderful battle to kick off the Taibai Cup, allowing all Beastmasters and ordinary people to feel the charm and passion of Beastmaster from this battle, and stimulate their enthusiasm.”
“Therefore, we need the most powerful Beastmaster.”
“In the entire Baokun City, no one is more suitable than you.”
Zhou Xu's words made Chen Yuan itch. He sat up straight and asked, “Then who is the other one?”
“Of course, it's our other consultant, Shi Gang. He is also an Intermediate Beastmaster now and is qualified to be your opponent.”
After a pause, he smiled: “Moreover, since Consultant Shi learned that you took the lead in becoming an Intermediate Beastmaster, he has been talking about wanting to fight you.”
"I see."
Hearing the hesitation in Chen Yuan's tone, Zhou Xu smiled and suddenly said, "As long as you participate in the exhibition match, you can also get a sum of contribution points."
"This is what we applied for from the association headquarters."
Chen Yuan's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Promoting knowledge of Beast Mastery and inspiring enthusiasm for Beast Mastery is of course my duty."
"What preparations do I need to make?"
"No need, all your food, clothing, housing, and transportation will be taken care of by me, you just need to come to the city in advance, get enough energy, and prepare for the battle."
Hearing Chen Yuan's agreement, Zhou Xu revealed a bright smile.
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he asked abruptly, "Since it's an exhibition match, do we need to go all out?"
Zhou Xu said, "The president's idea is that this matter requires the two of you to discuss it yourselves. No matter how you fight, as long as the fight is exciting and makes all the audience's blood boil, that's fine."
"Does Consultant Shi have any ideas?" Chen Yuan asked.
Zhou Xu replied, "Consultant Shi's original words were, I hope you can show the strength you had when fighting Team Su, he can handle it."
Chen Yuan was silent at first, then laughed loudly, "No problem."
"By the way, considering that you are both intermediate Beast Masters, the format of this battle will be 2V2. The battle will only end when both of one side's two pet beasts lose their ability to fight."
Zhou Xu reminded, "Your Flame Cloud Falcon is very powerful, but Consultant Shi recently contracted a very powerful Rock-type pet beast, which has an attribute advantage, so you must be careful."
"Also, do they enter the arena one by one, or both at the same time?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"The rules of the Taibai Cup are that they take turns entering the arena," Zhou Xu replied.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan let out a long breath, with a bright smile, "Looks like I have something to do again."
Most of the time, Chen Yuan hoped to stay quietly in the mountains, without being disturbed by others, living a leisurely life with the little guys.
But sometimes life is too plain and it becomes boring, so in the past, he would occasionally go to the city for entertainment.
But this time, he can both increase his knowledge and gain contribution points, and have a fierce pet beast battle in front of everyone's eyes, he has no reason to refuse.
He turned his head to look at Cola, and said, "Cola, in the next few days, you have to strive to break through to the second level, can you do it?"
"Awoo!"
Cola straightened its back and responded excitedly.
At this time, it was only one step away from the second level.
"Gugu ~"
The Twin Flower Concubine raised its head to look at Chen Yuan, a trace of inquiry flashed in its eyes.
Is there anything you need me to do?
Chen Yuan stretched out his finger, tapped the Twin Flower Concubine's little head, and smiled slightly, "Your task is to help catalyze the spiritual plants after Duck Duck finishes watering."
"As for other things, we'll talk about them when you grow up."
The Twin Flower Concubine can't even be considered child labor, it's clearly a young worker.
Compared to work, Chen Yuan hoped that it would spend a wonderful childhood in the company of the little guys.
When it can adapt to the intensity of daily training, Chen Yuan will formulate a detailed training and cultivation plan to make its days full.
But at this moment, let's enjoy the leisure and beauty of the present first.
This time returning from the mountains, Chen Yuan's Origin Points and Contribution Points returned to a relatively sufficient level.
Origin Points:
Contribution Points: 1252
Chen Yuan didn't hesitate and directly logged into the Beast Master official website, spending 800 Contribution Points to purchase the Wind Hunting Hound Elite - Leader's advancement conditions.
[Wind Hunting Hound Elite - Leader Advancement Conditions: Level 3 Resource Wind Clear Fruit x2, Level 2 Resource Wind Whisper Grass x5, Any Skill Proficiency Level]
"Wind Clear Fruit."
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, he had seen this kind of spiritual plant in the Beast Master section.
Wind Clear Fruit, a level 3 Wind-type resource, worth 300 Contribution Points.
The original excitement suddenly faded, Chen Yuan frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "Two Wind Clear Fruits cost 600 Contribution Points, and five Wind Whisper Grasses, wouldn't that cost more than 700 Contribution Points for Cola to advance smoothly?"
And the Contribution Points he has left are completely insufficient to bear this expense.
"Even if I use Origin Points to accelerate the growth of the Lumina Fruit Tree and exchange Lumina Fruits for these advancement resources, it will still be a bit difficult."
"What's more, Spark hasn't advanced yet either."
After careful calculation, Chen Yuan helplessly discovered that the Origin Points and Contribution Points he currently possessed were not enough, and he had to patiently accumulate another wave.
But on second thought, since the spiritual energy has revived until now, most of the little guys in the farm have already successfully advanced once, and Spark and Cola even have the prospect of advancing to the Leader level, far ahead of most Beast Masters.
The next path to advancement can be taken naturally.
Having figured this out, Chen Yuan, who had nothing to do today, prepared to explore the terrain around Xuanhe Village, draw a map, and at the same time, search for spiritual plants and pet beasts to gain Origin Points.
"Who wants to go out?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Awoo awoo!"
Cola is always the one that responds the fastest.
"Gugu ~"
While Chen Yuan was pondering earlier, the Twin Flower Concubine had already climbed up his clothes buttons, but the process was a bit difficult, and it didn't climb onto his shoulder for a long time.
"Awoo ~"
Seeing this, Cola's eyes rolled, and a slight breeze rolled around its body, rolling towards the Twin Flower Concubine.
"Gugu ~"
The skirt swayed, the Twin Flower Concubine looked up slightly, taking advantage of the breeze to fly upwards, it showed an excited smile, and its petal-shaped hands kept waving.
Cola controlled the breeze, and the Twin Flower Concubine flew around the bedroom along the breeze, its little face full of excitement and agitation.
Finally,
The breeze gradually dissipated, and the Twin Flower Concubine gently landed on Cola's back, its light brown fur covering its lower body.
"Gugu."
The Twin Flower Concubine carefully grabbed two strands of Cola's fur, just like a little princess grabbing the reins of a steed, Cola barked, then carried the Twin Flower Concubine out of the bedroom and ran towards the courtyard.
"Slow down, don't let it fall."
Chen Yuan's voice sounded from behind, and Cola couldn't help but slow down.
Looking at Cola carrying the Twin Flower Concubine running around in the courtyard, Chen Yuan rubbed his chin and said in a low voice, "This is not bad, Cola's wind can improve the Twin Flower Concubine's flexibility, the two of them should be able to produce a wonderful chemical reaction in pet beast battles."
Opening the door and walking out of the farm.
"Awoo awoo ~"
Cola shouted loudly on the country road, and the Twin Flower Concubine sitting on its back tightly grasped the fur, its clear pink eyes curiously looking around.
Entering the village, Chen Yuan quickly discovered many unfamiliar figures, they were men and women, all carrying backpacks, looking around, each with a pet beast beside them.
They were obviously dressed as Beast Masters.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ear: "Guys, are you looking for accommodation?"
"Good Luck Farmhouse welcomes you. At Good Luck Farmhouse, you can not only eat pure natural vegetables and fruits, but also enjoy the most attentive and meticulous service."
"If you have needs for entering the mountains, you can also rent riding pet beasts and carrying pet beasts from us, solving all your worries."
A series of words came out of Zhang Hao's mouth, he looked at the stunned Beast Masters in front of him with a smile.
"Then let's go take a look." The leading Beast Master nodded.
Under Zhang Hao's lead, the group walked towards Good Luck Farmhouse.
Chen Yuan sincerely admired Haozi's super execution ability, the moment these plans and ideas popped out of his head, they were destined to be completed in a short period of time.
He went over to take a look and found that Zhang's father and mother had come out of the yard to greet the guests. Zhang Hao saw Chen Yuan following and came out to say, "Brother Yuan, how do you think it is?"
Chen Yuan looked up and saw that Zhang Hao had repainted the previous yard and houses, and now the uniform pure white color was particularly simple.
"I simply repainted it, and then I redecorated those guest rooms according to the style of the homestays in the city, and put some small objects suitable for checking in and taking pictures in the yard," Zhang Hao said.
Chen Yuan said, "It cost a lot of money, right?"
Zhang Hao smiled first, then sighed: "All the money I saved over the years has been used."
Chen Yuan patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "With this courage, who will succeed if you don't?"
Zhang Hao looked at Chen Yuan and smiled helplessly: "Brother Yuan, we know our own affairs. Although I am a Beast Master, my talent is only average, far inferior to you."
"It's better to think of more ways to improve the family environment and earn more money to buy cultivation resources."
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yuan did not interfere with Zhang Hao, who continued to be busy, and turned to leave.
After strolling around the village, Chen Yuan was surprised to find that this remote little village had unknowingly come to life.
Middle-aged men were driving motorcycles or tricycles, transporting Beast Masters from Nanhe Town one after another; middle-aged women put local products from the mountains at the door, constantly shouting; the small supermarket, which was usually only frequented by children, was crowded for a time, and the old grandma selling goods was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, but the wrinkles on her face stretched out with a smile.
Some villagers also imitated Zhang Hao, redecorating their own residences, a group of burly men were busy non-stop.
The village chief led several cadres running around, they reminded every villager to resolutely eliminate the phenomenon of ripping off customers, while pondering how to improve the street environment of Xuanhe Village, leaving a good first impression on every Beast Master.
Chen Yuan walked through the bustling village, like an idle bystander.
The sign of the Wildlife Rescue Station was also taken down, and replaced with—Xuanhe Village Beast Master Office.
Chen Yuan heard Zhang Hao mention that the Wildlife Rescue Station has become the Beast Master Office, and their responsibilities have also changed—they no longer need to patrol the forest every day, they only need to patrol at fixed times, and usually handle related affairs in the office.
Several Beast Masters were already queuing here, waiting to complete the procedures for entering the mountain.
Xuanhe Village has also undergone earth-shaking changes with the changes in the world.
Happy New Year's Day!
