Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger
Chapter 370 - 204: The God of the Farm (Part 3)
According to the current discussion, the riding competition is scheduled for December, when the snow piles up in the Qinling Mountains, offering a unique view.
Then, another event will be held in the following summer, allowing visiting Beastmasters to witness the lush scenery of the Qinling Mountains.
In short, the event will be held twice a year, once in summer and once in winter.
"Let’s not worry about the summer competition for now. The priority is to organize the one happening next month," Song Guohao said with an authoritative air.
He was originally just a humble station manager at a wildlife rescue center, and never expected that after the Spiritual Energy Revival, his role would change, making him the head of the office, able to sit at the main seat.
Of course, Chen Yuan’s contribution to him becoming the director is undeniable.
"Does Advisor Chen have any thoughts?" The village chief first expressed agreement with Song Guohao’s statement, then looked towards Chen Yuan.
As the person of the highest status currently in the village and having gained Chairman Wang’s agreement on the idea of a riding competition, Chen Yuan is considered the overall person in charge of this event.
But Chen Yuan turned to look at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was the first to propose the Qinling Riding Competition and provided many ideas, giving Chen Yuan the perfect opportunity to let him shine.
Sitting in the corner, Zhang Hao grinned without losing his composure, "Let me briefly share my thoughts."
"First, I think the riding competition can be divided into two modes: one being a pure racing competition, and the other a fun and entertaining race..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Second, we can manually alter the terrain to create obstacles..."
"Third, we can set customized rewards for the winners, like a crown symbolizing the king of speed for the victor..."
"Fourth, after holding numerous events, we could specifically host a pinnacle showdown for multiple kings of speed..."
"The last point is just a small personal wish of mine."
Zhang Hao smiled around, his tone steady and strong, "I would like to sponsor this competition in the name of Good Fortune Farmhouse."
After a long time,
The meeting participants gradually left, and Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao walked side by side on the street, the latter chuckling, "Yuan, how did I do?"
Chen Yuan gave a thumbs-up, "Great job."
"Hehe," Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows, "But I have to thank you, Yuan. Without you vouching for me, I wouldn’t have had this chance."
"There’s no need to say this between us," Chen Yuan laughed.
Thanks to his suggestion, everyone agreed to let Zhang Hao be responsible for planning this riding competition, to quickly come up with a detailed event process, and then liaise with the professionals from the Association.
Zhang Hao’s mind is naturally suited for these things.
"By the way, are you going to participate, Yuan?" Zhang Hao suddenly asked.
Chen Yuan nodded, "I will. This is way more interesting than Pet Beast battles."
"Oh," Zhang Hao nodded knowingly, "Then should I tell you the detailed rules and precautions in advance?"
Chen Yuan quickly waved his hand, "No, let me keep the surprise."
Zhang Hao suggested at the meeting to manually change the landscape and create obstacles to set up checkpoints, thus testing the participants’ ability to react on the spot.
Knowing in advance would take away all the fun.
Let’s leave the mystery until the competition.
Returning to the farm, Chen Yuan called over the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, "We’re going to start training."
"Roar roar!"
The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast had bright eyes and planted its four feet firmly on the ground.
Quite frankly, the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast is not a mount Pet Beast known for its speed; its advantage lies in its strong endurance and all-terrain adaptability.
If participating in a fun race full of obstacles, Chen Yuan is confident of achieving excellent results.
But if it’s a pure racing competition, the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast might struggle with its speed.
"It would be great to have a Pet Beast that’s known for speed," Chen Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes unintentionally falling on Cola.
In terms of speed alone, Chen Yuan hasn’t encountered a Pet Beast faster than Cola yet.
Of course, this is assuming a ground race.
Unfortunately, Cola’s size doesn’t currently support riding.
Wait!
"Will Cola support riding after evolving?" Chen Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Based on previous evolution experiences, Cola would grow bigger after evolving, then its form would change.
Maybe it could really evolve into a form that supports riding.
"Cola, you have to work hard," Chen Yuan said, staring at Cola.
If Cola can evolve before the riding competition, Chen Yuan could participate in the fun race with the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast and in the racing competition with Cola, directly sweeping the championships of both events.
Isn’t winning the riding competition more significant than winning a showcase competition?
"Awoo?"
Cola didn’t know why its owner was suddenly looking at it with such expectant eyes, but that didn’t stop it from responding enthusiastically.
"Awoo awoo awoo~"
Cola howled and rushed toward Chen Yuan, only to be stopped by the latter’s hands.
"Let’s train for driving tomorrow."
"Awoo?"
Cola looked up puzzledly.
"You’ve passed the theory test, and now it’s the perfect time to practice the second and third tests."
After a pause, Chen Yuan smiled brightly, "Cola, you don’t want to be the first Pet Beast to fail the driving test, do you?"
"Awoo!"
Cola’s eyes widened, shaking its head rapidly like a rattle drum.
It absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!
"Alright, since you don’t want to fail, let’s practice well."
"Aim to pass both the second and third tests together."
Chen Yuan consulted with Manager Zhang, who said that it’s possible to take both the second and third tests at the same time.
This way, a lot of time would be saved.
But taking both tests simultaneously would bring enormous mental pressure, which ordinary candidates can’t bear.
But Cola is an exception.
Chen Yuan looked sideways at Cola, wagging its tail and chasing around in the yard, with a slight smile, "This little one doesn’t know what pressure is."
The most pressure Cola feels is probably when it does something wrong and gets caught by Chen Yuan, who then gazes at it expressionlessly.
"Moreover, other candidates seeing Cola, they’re the ones who would feel pressured," Chen Yuan whispered.
For Test Two it’s fine, as it’s just the candidate alone in the car.
But during Test Three, where several candidates sit together, Chen Yuan looks forward to the reactions of the other candidates when they see Cola in the driver’s seat.
That’ll be quite a spectacle.
