The night grew deep, inside the Beastmaster Association headquarters.
“Finally, I can get off work.” Du Chang stretched, his face unable to hide the deep fatigue of a working man.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, he had been assigned to the Beastmaster Association to review the advancement conditions of pet beasts.
According to the leaders, this job was very important and required them to promote the spirit of dedication.
And by promoting it, they had to work very late every day before they could go home.
Fortunately, the overtime pay was sufficient, and Du Chang had already planned to endure it for a few years, and then find a way to transfer to another position.
Although the association had placed many restrictions on the uploading of advancement conditions, many Beastmasters still mistakenly uploaded incorrect advancement conditions, which required them to conduct preliminary screening and then send the advancement conditions to other departments for rounds of judgment.
Once the judgment was successful, the advancement condition could pass the review and be published on the official website.
“If only everything were videos.” Du Chang yawned, packing things up to go home.
If every Beastmaster sent in advancement videos, they would save a lot of effort.
“Ding-dong ~”
“You have a new message.”
The computer notification sounded, and Du Chang, who was about to shut down the computer, sighed helplessly, then sat back in his seat.
He looked around and saw that several colleagues were still sticking to their posts like him, and the resentment in his heart lessened a bit.
“I want to see who uploaded the advancement conditions again, and don’t waste my time.”
Du Chang clicked into the page, his eyes lighting up: “It’s actually a video.”
“Flamecloud Falcon Elite — Lord quality advancement conditions.”
Du Chang, who read out the line of small words on the video, suddenly widened his eyes, subconsciously sat up straight, and controlled the mouse to open the video.
The screen showed the figure of a Flamecloud Falcon, located between two flaming pieces of wood, constantly eating Flamefruit.
Although this video had been accelerated, it was still more than an hour long.
Du Chang did not drag the progress bar throughout the entire process, he sat quietly in his seat, staring intently at the screen.
“Du Chang, aren’t you leaving yet?” A colleague walked over and asked.
Du Chang did not respond.
The colleague leaned closer and, after seeing the scene on the screen, stopped to watch.
After an unknown amount of time,
“Chirp!”
The Flamecloud Falcon in the picture spread its wings, and a bright flame surged from its body, with three faint pentagram marks flashing on its forehead.
Du Chang slapped the table with a “slap”, his eyes glowing, and said loudly: “Advancement successful!”
“Lord quality Flamecloud Falcon!”
Since he started this job, ninety-nine percent of the advancement conditions were ordinary to elite, and very few were elite to lord.
“Oh, so he specializes in researching Flamecloud Falcons.” Du Chang nodded in understanding.
“Alright, send this video to that side for verification, and if there are no problems, it will pass the review.” Du Chang clicked to send the video.
After a long time,
Multiple departments sent messages stating that there were no abnormalities in the video, and Du Chang clicked to pass the review.
[Dear Mr. Chen Yuan, the elite to lord advancement conditions for the Flamecloud Falcon that you uploaded have passed the review. Thank you for your contribution to the Beastmaster Association and all Beastmasters]
Late at night,
Chen Yuan, lying in bed, received this text message and couldn’t help but sigh: “This work efficiency is really good.”
Of course, behind the good work efficiency, there were obviously bitter wage slaves supporting it with their overtime.
Now, as long as a Beastmaster contracts a Flamecloud Falcon, they must continuously offer contribution points to Chen Yuan.
He had gained another stable way to obtain contribution points.
“When I upload the advancement conditions for the Steelhead Groundhog and the Moistened Duck, I’ll be able to continuously obtain contribution points without doing anything.” Chen Yuan thought happily.
As his thoughts flashed, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something, opened his social platform, and clicked into a group chat called [Fire Mountain Four]:
“Is everyone asleep?”
Chang Yuhuan: “Not yet, editing photos.”
Liu Jingyi: “Asleep.”
Liu Jinglan: “Liu Jingyi! It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep? You have school tomorrow!”
Liu Jingyi: “Good night.”
Chen Yuan edited and sent another message: “Here’s the thing, do you think we should tell the Beastmaster Association about the special situation on the summit of Fire Mountain, so that more Beastmasters know about it?”
Chang Yuhuan: “Up to you, you discovered it.”
Liu Jinglan: “You don’t need to consider our opinions, if you weren’t there, we wouldn’t have been able to discover the special features there.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan no longer hesitated and directly sent a message to Zhou Xu: “Brother Zhou, when I went to Fire Mountain, I discovered a special environment.”
“The flames above the summit are of great benefit to fire-type pet beasts, you can tell the Huozhou Beastmaster Association about this.”
Soon, Zhou Xu called: “Okay, I will contact the staff there.”
After a slight pause, he smiled: “As long as it is confirmed to be correct, the association there will definitely apply for a sum of contribution points for you.”
“There’s such a good thing?” Chen Yuan was stunned.
He simply considered that this special environment should be known to more Beastmasters, so that they could have one more way to become stronger.
In addition, this special environment would definitely be discovered by other Beastmasters one after another, so it would be better to tell them earlier.
“Of course, all valuable discoveries must be rewarded, this is the purpose of the Beastmaster Association.”
“And there have been similar precedents before. A Beastmaster discovered a special environment with roaring thunder on a certain mountain peak. As long as lightning-type pet beasts endure the bombardment of the falling thunder, they will make obvious progress in strength.”
Chen Yuan couldn’t help but look through the window at the small tree house on the camphor tree.
“In short, this special environment is rare and precious, and every discovery should be valued.”
“This is the common wealth of all Beastmasters.”
October 7th, Monday.
Sunny.
This was the last day of the holiday, but as a Qinling forest ranger, Chen Yuan took the little ones into the mountains early.
This time he brought Spark, Cola, the Electric Flying Cat, and the Twinflower Concubine.
The first three were already standard equipment for entering the mountains, but the Twinflower Concubine was more special.
Chen Yuan's time away from it cannot exceed five minutes, once it exceeds, this little guy will cry.
Therefore, when Chen Yuan takes a bath at night, the little guy will always guard outside the door.
“Yinyin ~”
The Twinflower Concubine sat on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, curiously scanning her surroundings, waving her petal-shaped palm from time to time, a burst of green fluorescence flashing, catalyzing the flowers and plants beside the road.
After this period of training, its [Lush] skill proficiency has been increased to the skilled level, and the catalytic effect is more obvious.
Moreover, its level has been raised to level 3, and it has mastered the new skill [Heart of Plants and Trees]
This skill is quite special. The Twin Flower Concubine can tear off a petal from its petal-shaped hand to restore injuries.
Chen Yuan specifically tested it; not only could his pets use it, but he could also eat the petal to recover from injuries.
Moreover, the speed and effect of recovery are far superior to healing ointments.
Furthermore, Chen Yuan observed that after a petal is torn off, it only takes an hour for a new one to grow back, without affecting the Twin Flower Concubine.
With [Lush] and [Heart of Flora], the Twin Flower Concubine is developing towards a functional pet.
However, in this way, the Twin Flower Concubine lacks self-defense methods.
It's impossible to expect it to defeat opponents with these two skills, right?
But... when the Twin Flower Concubine appears, wild pets that would normally run away will come to its side, and even their attitude towards Chen Yuan improves a lot.
This innate attraction and goodwill should be the best self-defense method for the Twin Flower Concubine.
The first thing to do when entering the mountain is, of course, to visit the Flame-tailed Fox.
Before long, he arrived at the iconic Flame Fruit tree. After searching around, Chen Yuan found the Flame-tailed Fox and the Glacial Ice Fox huddled together, their two fluffy tails drooping on the ground, chewing on tree fruits they had picked from somewhere.
"Oh, no more fighting?"
A voice suddenly rang out from behind, startling the two little guys. Their bodies trembled at first, instinctively hiding the tree fruits under them, then they turned around, baring their teeth.
No mistake, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one look!
After seeing who it was, the ferocious expression on the Flame-tailed Fox's face changed to excitement and joy at the speed of a Sichuan opera mask change, and it pounced straight at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan opened his arms and hugged the Flame-tailed Fox, while looking down at the Glacial Ice Fox standing on the spot, at a loss, and smiled: "Do you want to join too?"
"Ying?"
The Glacial Ice Fox subconsciously took half a step back, but was grabbed tightly by its nape by a pair of ruthless hands, and then its entire body was pulled up.
"Ying ying ying!"
The Glacial Ice Fox tried to struggle, but when it saw a pair of dark blue eyes staring at it quietly, it trembled inexplicably and stopped moving.
Holding both the Flame-tailed Fox and the Glacial Ice Fox in his arms, Chen Yuan stroked their soft fur with his left and right hands, a satisfied smile on his face: "This is the correct way to be a forest ranger."
"Yinyin ~"
Seeing Chen Yuan holding the two little guys in his arms, a trace of contemplation flashed in the Twin Flower Concubine's eyes.
"Alright, you guys get down."
After petting them for a while, Chen Yuan released the two little guys. The Glacial Ice Fox jumped down in a hurry, while the Flame-tailed Fox slowly jumped to the ground, its posture light and elegant.
"I brought you two little guys some goodies."
Chen Yuan opened his backpack and took out the prepared snacks.
Since the Flame-tailed Fox's affection reached 80, it had been continuously providing Chen Yuan with Source Points during this period.
From the side, he learned that it had experienced no few battles during this time.
Well, living in the forest, how could one avoid fighting?
When the two little guys saw the snacks on the ground, their eyes lit up, and they directly pushed aside the pile of tree fruits, burying their heads in dealing with the pile of snacks.
Chen Yuan squatted down and reached out to stroke the Glacial Ice Fox's fur. This time, it didn't refuse at all.
However, the less it refused and the less it struggled, the more boring Chen Yuan found it.
"Has anything fun happened in the forest recently?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Ying ying ~"
The Flame-tailed Fox raised its head and stared at Chen Yuan for a while, then suddenly remembered something and nudged the Glacial Ice Fox next to it.
"Ying?"
The Glacial Ice Fox looked up blankly.
"Ying ying ying ~"
The Flame-tailed Fox gestured with its paws for a while, and the Glacial Ice Fox seemed to understand something. It suddenly stood up and looked at the Flame-tailed Fox from a distance.
"Ying ying ying!"
The Flame-tailed Fox pulled at its ears, making the pair of ears wide, and suppressed its voice, making it emit a muffled cry.
On the other side, the Glacial Ice Fox made a ferocious look, shouting at the Flame-tailed Fox, while waving its paws.
The next moment, the two little guys glared at each other and charged at each other, pretending to start a fight.
"Yinyin ~"
The Twin Flower Concubine clapped her hands in great support.
"Stop, stop, stop, I get it." Seeing that the two little guys were fighting more and more fiercely, and there seemed to be signs of them really fighting, Chen Yuan quickly stopped them.
When the two little guys looked at Chen Yuan, his eyes flickered slightly. He first looked at the Flame-tailed Fox: "Are you playing the role of the Star Moon Deer?"
"Ying ~"
The Flame-tailed Fox nodded.
Chen Yuan looked at the Glacial Ice Fox again: "Are you playing the role of the Snow Cloud Wolf?"
"Ying ~"
The Glacial Ice Fox nodded.
Chen Yuan continued: "So, they've been fighting again during this time."
"Ying ying ying!"
The Flame-tailed Fox nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking rice.
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's not a new thing for the Star Moon Deer and the Snow Cloud Wolf to fight."
As long as these two groups meet, there will definitely be a fierce battle.
"Okay, I know, you guys eat slowly, I'll continue up the mountain." Chen Yuan waved to the two little guys and turned to leave.
"Ying ying ying ~"
The Flame-tailed Fox watched Chen Yuan's back for a long time, and the Glacial Ice Fox took the opportunity to bury its head in hard work.
When the Flame-tailed Fox looked down, it found that half of the snacks were missing. It suddenly turned its head and saw that the Glacial Ice Fox's cheeks were stuffed with snacks.
The Flame-tailed Fox was furious and quickly stretched out its paws to snatch the remaining snacks.
"Ying ying ying!"
Afternoon,
Bao Kun City Gymnasium.
Amidst the deafening cheers, Zhuang Jianbai stood with one hand in his pocket, his eyes sharp: "Dire Winter Hound, end this battle."
"Frost Breath."
"Awoo!"
The Dire Winter Hound raised its head and roared, its eyes fixed, and suddenly a cold aura swept up, condensing frost on the ground at an astonishing speed, scraping towards the opponent's pet!
At the same time, the Dire Winter Hound stepped out and ran wildly on the frozen ground, crashing into the opponent after a while!
The opponent still tried to resist, but the pair of light blue icy eyes had already locked onto it, and accompanied by a roar like muffled thunder, a figure quickly occupied the entire vision.
Thump!
As the sound of falling to the ground rang out, the referee shouted loudly: "The Armored Horn Beast has lost its ability to fight!"
He paused, and then said in a louder voice: "Therefore, the winner of this match is contestant Zhuang Jianbai!"
The commentator's voice sounded in a timely manner: "He won!"
"Contestant Zhuang Jianbai has defeated the final opponent and won the ultimate victory in the first Taibai Cup!"
"At this moment, he is the champion!!!"
In an instant, shouts and cheers like a tsunami rang out inside the stadium. Zhuang Jianbai waved his hand high, paying tribute to the audience in all directions.
Afterwards, he slowly walked to the Dire Winter Hound, stroked its head, and said softly: "Our competition has only truly begun from this moment."
There is a more important battle waiting for him and the Dire Winter Hound.
