Chen Yuan didn't want to be woken up while he was sleeping.
But if it was a dog, that would be a different story.
"Cola, what's up?"
Chen Yuan opened his sleepy eyes and subconsciously glanced out the window. It was pitch black, obviously not morning yet.
"Woof woof!"
Cola directly bit Chen Yuan's quilt, dragged it to the ground, and then tugged at Chen Yuan's clothes, pulling him outside.
"What happened?"
Seeing Cola's reaction, Chen Yuan realized that something important had happened on the farm and woke up abruptly.
He got up quickly, pushed open the door, and, led by Cola, came to the yard, turned on the light. The dim yellow light illuminated the scene before him—a shivering Fire-Patterned Snake was surrounded by the little guys.
Of course, this didn't include Runrun Duck.
Duck Duck was already lying on the ground, fast asleep.
The Meteor Horn Beast firmly stepped on the Fire-Patterned Snake's body, the Electric Flying Cat's cheeks flashed with electricity from time to time, and the Iron-Headed Baby waved its sharp front blades.
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cola, who was sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail, and asked, "Did it come for revenge? Or did you run out and catch it back?"
Chen Yuan specifically looked at the system message and, sure enough, saw the prompt for obtaining source points.
It's just that the system is quite intelligent and never disturbs him when he's sleeping.
"Woof woof!"
Cola raised its head high, first looked at the Electric Flying Cat, the Meteor Horn Beast, and Runrun Duck, and then put on a look of waiting for praise.
Of course, it caught it!
"Electric!"
The Electric Flying Cat raised its paw, looking solemn.
The adventure team is avenging the old farm owner!
The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
"Hmm..."
Chen Yuan supported his chin and thought for a moment, pondering: "You're used to drinking Pepsi-flavored cola, how about trying other flavors?"
"Coca-Cola?"
"Tsingtao Cola?"
"Tianfu Cola?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "I'll let you drink them all."
"Woof woof!"
Cola excitedly pounced on Chen Yuan, its increasingly large body knocking him directly to the ground, its tongue constantly licking his cheeks.
Cola didn't care about these colas, as long as its master wasn't disappointed in it!
Well, if it could drink a lot of cola, that would be even better!
"Electric!"
Me too! Me too!
I also want praise!
Chen Yuan got up and nodded to the Electric Flying Cat: "Of course I won't forget you."
"And you guys."
Whether it was the Meteor Horn Beast and Runrun Duck, who participated in this capture operation, or the Iron-Headed Baby, who stayed on the farm, they all deserved credit.
Chen Yuan praised them one by one and promised small gifts.
"Clack."
The Iron-Headed Baby shook its head.
It didn't contribute and didn't need a gift.
Chen Yuan looked at the Iron-Headed Baby seriously: "You stick to your post every day, you deserve a gift."
"Woof woof!"
Cola dragged Chen Yuan to the sleeping Runrun Duck again and pointed at Runrun Duck with its paw.
Duck Duck just became powerful!
Chen Yuan reached out and touched Duck Duck:
【Race: Runrun Duck (Collected)】
【Attribute: Water】
【Level: 10 (Second Order)】
【Affection: 80】
【Skills: Water Surge (Proficient ) + Water Arrow (Proficient ) + Water Binding (Basic ) +】
【Quality: Elite】
【Conditions for Promotion to Lord Quality: Unlockable】
Duck Duck has broken through to the second order!
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, but then he thought that Runrun Duck, Electric Flying Cat, and Iron-Headed Baby had all been approaching the second order during this period, only one last step away from breaking through.
He didn't expect that the usually lazy Runrun Duck would be the first to break through.
However, although the Iron-Headed Baby hasn't broken through yet, its skill proficiency is much higher than Runrun Duck's.
"Could it be that this battle stimulated Duck Duck?"
"Breaking through in battle, Duck Duck can be considered a chosen one in novels."
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, but he didn't disturb the sleeping Runrun Duck.
Let it have a good sleep.
Chen Yuan then looked at the unconscious Fire-Patterned Snake.
"Let that little guy come over for a moment." With a thought, Chen Yuan walked into the hall and woke up the sleeping Frostwind Cow.
The Frostwind Cow opened its eyes, and when it saw Chen Yuan, it curled up and retreated into the corner.
Judging from this reaction, what happened today caused it very serious psychological trauma.
"The Fire-Patterned Snake that attacked you has been caught by us, come out and take a look." After saying that, Chen Yuan turned and left.
A pair of eyes flickered with faint light in the dark hall. The Frostwind Cow shrank in place for a long time, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the yard.
It first hid most of its body behind the door of the hall, cautiously poked out its head, and after confirming that there was no danger, it stepped out.
After arriving in the yard, it indeed saw the Fire-Patterned Snake that attacked it.
In that instant, it recalled everything that happened during the day, remembering the surging firelight that devoured it.
"Moo..."
A trace of fear flashed in the Frostwind Cow's eyes, and it subconsciously retreated, but fell to the ground with a thud.
"Electric."
Looking at the Frostwind Cow's reaction, the Electric Flying Cat shook its head.
This was even worse than its reaction when it first came to the farm.
At most, it hid in various corners and dared not move, but this little guy was almost scared out of its wits.
"It's okay, this Fire-Patterned Snake has already fainted."
To verify that what Chen Yuan said was true, Cola specifically raised its paw and patted the Fire-Patterned Snake's body, but the latter didn't respond.
The Frostwind Cow then stabilized its emotions and opened its eyes to look at the unconscious Fire-Patterned Snake.
But it still didn't dare to get close.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You were attacked by the Fire-Patterned Snake because you weren't strong enough."
The Frostwind Cow immediately lowered its head.
"As long as you have enough strength, not to mention one Fire-Patterned Snake, you can face ten Fire-Patterned Snakes calmly."
"Moo..."
The Frostwind Cow's emotions became even lower.
It understood this principle.
But it was too stupid and couldn't learn skills no matter what.
Chen Yuan grinned: "It's okay, if they can't teach you, I can."
Since the Frostwind Cow can't learn skills, it must be because it doesn't have enough comprehension. Fortunately, there are Lucid Fruits and Clarity Fruits in the yard, which are excellent resources for improving a pet's comprehension.
Even if these two things aren't enough, Chen Yuan can directly increase its proficiency through source points.
Of course, the premise is that the Frostwind Cow must first master the skill.
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "You can stay with my grandpa for now, I'll think of a way."
"In at most a month, this Fire-Patterned Snake will definitely not be your opponent."
"Moo?"
The Frostwind Cow raised its head, its eyes filled with hopeful light as it looked at Chen Yuan.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan looked at the Fire-Patterned Snake again.
After the Snow Cloud Wolf incident, Chen Yuan was already very familiar with handling this kind of thing.
Without a single mistake, a first-rate, top-notch, perfect score!
Faced with this kind of restless wild pet beast that poses a certain danger to the village, the current solution is very simple—send it to enrich the breeding base.
After being locked up in a small dark room for a few days, even the most ferocious pet beasts will become docile.
Even though it was already midnight, Chen Yuan still sent a message to Cai Hong.
A leader like Cai Hong wouldn't possibly leave the message notification sound on when he sleeps at night, right?
However, the next moment, Cai Hong replied to the message: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to come over immediately."
Chen Yuan looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and he suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt.
A poor working person was about to drive to Xuanhe Village late at night because of his message.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Yuan quickly dissuaded him: "It's okay, Brother Cai, it's the same if you leave in the morning."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on this pet beast." Cai Hong typed back, "By the way, what kind of pet beast is it?"
"A Fire-Patterned Snake with second-tier strength is attacking Hardy Cattle around the village, causing panic among the villagers," Chen Yuan replied.
Cai Hong immediately sat up straight from the bed, his eyes flashing with faint light under the illumination of the screen: "Okay, I will arrange it properly."
"Thank you for your trouble, Consultant Chen."
Putting down his phone, Cai Hong stared blankly at the dark ceiling.
"You're really wasting your leadership position, having to work so late at night." His wife's grumbling voice sounded in his ear.
Cai Hong came back to his senses, turned over and put his arm around his wife's waist, and said softly, "If the leaders don't lead by example, how can the people below work properly?"
After a pause, he said with emotion: "Fortunately, we have this Consultant Chen."
"Two second-tier pet beasts can be considered a solution to the base's urgent needs."
His wife asked in confusion: "Are there any Beast Tamers who would go to your place to contract second-tier pet beasts now?"
Cai Hong explained with a smile: "Whether or not there are Beast Tamers who contract them is not important. What's important is that these two second-tier pet beasts can become the face of the base."
"With them, the base won't lack publicity material for a while."
His wife said: "This Consultant Chen is really amazing. He sent a second-tier Snow Cloud Wolf the day before yesterday, and now he's caught another second-tier Fire-Patterned Snake."
Cai Hong smiled and said: "If he weren't amazing, no one would think he's the number one Beast Tamer in Baokun City."
The next day at noon,
A large truck arrived at Xuanhe Village. The driver was a young man with long, flowing hair and trendy clothes. He took off his black sunglasses and stuck his head out of the window. Seeing the road sign that read "Xuanhe Village," he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This road is really damn hard to drive on."
The mountain road leading to Xuanhe Village was relatively flat, but the road was too narrow, and he was driving a large truck, so sometimes it would take a long time when encountering oncoming traffic.
After several hours, he finally arrived at Xuanhe Village.
Cai Mingming stopped the truck in place, cleared his throat, and dialed the phone number Cai Hong had given him: "Hello, are you Consultant Chen?"
"Who is this?"
"I'm here to pick up the Fire-Patterned Snake. May I ask where your address is? I've already arrived at Xuanhe Village."
"So fast?" Chen Yuan was surprised.
Cai Mingming smiled and said, "Compared to my previous racing, this is slow."
Chen Yuan: "?"
Cai Mingming coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "I happened to be in Taibai County on business, so I came over as soon as I received the notification."
"Okay, go all the way forward on the road to the right of the village, and I'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Okay."
Following Chen Yuan's instructions, Cai Mingming drove the truck all the way forward on the road to the right, and finally saw Chen Yuan standing at the entrance.
Remembering the many instructions his father had given him, Cai Mingming quickly got out of the car, rushed to Chen Yuan, bent down, and extended his right hand: "Consultant Chen, my name is Cai Mingming, you can just call me Little Cai."
He didn't know much about this rumored Consultant Chen, but he was very familiar with his father's abilities. Since his father asked him to treat Consultant Chen with the best attitude, then he would do as he was told.
It was just like when his father told him to develop in the breeding base in the future. Cai Mingming didn't ask any questions and nodded in agreement.
Since his father had paved the way for him, he would just do it obediently without asking too many questions.
Cai Mingming...
Looking at the long-haired man in front of him, Chen Yuan felt for the first time a strong sense of incongruity between his name and appearance.
He nodded slightly: "Did you come alone?"
"Yes."
"Then it might be difficult for you to take this Fire-Patterned Snake away." Chen Yuan led Cai Mingming into the courtyard.
The Fire-Patterned Snake was being held in an iron cage, with Fire Flower guarding it.
Cai Mingming's eyes fell on the Flame Cloud Falcon, which had shone brightly in the Taibai Cup, and he secretly pondered how long his pet beast could last if it fought against it?
Moreover, its size seemed to be much larger than it was during the Taibai Cup.
At this moment, the sound in his ear forcibly pulled him back to his thoughts: "Although this Fire-Patterned Snake is injured, if you want to transport it to the breeding base, it's a long way, I'm afraid..."
Chen Yuan stopped talking, but Cai Mingming understood what Chen Yuan meant, so he grinned: "Don't worry, Consultant Chen, I have ways to deal with it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white summoning array appeared in front of Cai Mingming, and a petite figure jumped onto his shoulder.
"Meow ~"
This cat-like pet beast was covered in luxurious white fur, its ruby-like eyes flowed with shimmering light, its body was slender, and the end of its tail was triangular.
Chen Yuan remembered the information about this pet beast: Gemstone Meow, a psychic pet beast, naturally born as an elite.
Psychic pet beasts were very rare. This was the first time Chen Yuan had seen one in person since becoming a Beast Tamer.
"Gemstone Meow, I'm counting on you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gemstone Meow jumped lightly to the ground, its posture elegant, and slowly walked to the Fire-Patterned Snake, staring at the latter through the cage.
"Meow ~"
The next moment, Gemstone Meow's tail rose high, and a layer of hazy white light bloomed in its ruby-like eyes, and psychic thought waves, invisible to the naked eye, spread layer by layer towards the Fire-Patterned Snake.
Before long, the Fire-Patterned Snake closed its eyes and fell to the ground.
Chen Yuan nodded in understanding.
Psychic skill, Hypnotic Thought Wave.
It is said that many people now protest against psychic pet beasts using [Hypnotic Thought Wave] on humans, believing it to be an egregious act of desecrating the human spirit.
According to investigations, most of these protesters are hypnotists.
Cai Mingming squatted down, hugged Gemstone Meow in his arms, stroked it gently, and smiled: "I'm counting on you from now on."
"Meow ~"
Gemstone Meow's slender tail wrapped around Cai Mingming's arm and nodded slightly.
Since he had Gemstone Meow, Chen Yuan no longer worried that Cai Mingming would not be able to successfully deliver the Fire-Patterned Snake to the breeding base.
The two worked together, with the help of the little ones, to move the iron cage onto the truck.
Cai Mingming waved to Chen Yuan: "Goodbye next time, Consultant Chen."
With that, he stepped on the accelerator, and the truck slowly drove away from the farm.
