Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 28 The Lucky One Chosen by the Jade Pendant
This was the first time Li Junyue encountered such a thing.

In order not to disturb his wife and children when he was meditating at night, he specially cleaned the utility room today, and found an old jade pendant in it.

He remembered this jade pendant.

This was the first time he traveled with his wife, and he fell in love with it at first sight at the antique market.

The jade pendant is not expensive, only fifty yuan, but it has witnessed the journey of him and his wife from their student days to the present.

Li Junyue actually didn't like wearing jade pendants or necklaces, but tonight he put on the jade pendant for some reason and started meditating.

He held his breath and concentrated, he had just entered a state of meditation and was completely unaware that the jade pendant was emitting bursts of fluorescent light, and the light like flowing water covered the entire utility room.

The next moment, his eyes were covered by fluorescent light, and a distant yet close voice came to his ears: "A newcomer?"

In a gray space, Li Junyue regained his sight and looked around in fear and confusion. His years of professional habit made him take deep breaths continuously, and after a while he finally regained his composure.

Seeing the two dazzling spots in his field of vision, he wanted to say something tentatively, but as a man of rich experience, he suppressed his impulse and fell into silence.

"Don't worry, we don't mean any harm."

The strange voice paused, with a hint of laughter in its tone: "We are just the lucky ones chosen by the jade pendant."

Another lively female voice sounded: "Yes, yes, I can testify that I am one of them."

Li Junyue frowned, lowered his head to look at the jade pendant on his chest, and finally asked tentatively: "Jade pendant?"

"Let me explain." Jiang Wenning took the initiative to take on the task of explaining to the newcomer. After saying a lot of things, Li Junyue's expression gradually changed from confusion to thoughtful.

"It's really magical." Li Junyue clutched the cold jade pendant and had already believed most of what Jiang Wenning said.

As a grassroots police officer, he can roughly distinguish between truth and lies.

He took another deep breath to calm his excitement, and took the initiative to ask, "Are you all beast masters?"

His voice was low and full of the fatigue of a corporate slave, without any of the energy and vitality of a young person.

"Of course." Jiang Wenning answered quickly with a sweet voice.

"Can you tell me what the initial pet contract should be like?" Li Junyue hesitated for a long time and finally asked.

"Hmm" Chen Yuan couldn't answer this question.

After all, his conditions were limited at the time, and there was only one extraordinary creature around him who could contract with him, so he had no choice.

"Try to choose one that matches your personality." Jiang Wenning, as expected of the first batch of students at the Beast Taming Academy, answered without hesitation, "The personality of the Beast Tamer will determine the style of breeding, training, and fighting. Choosing an initial pet that matches your personality will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Thank you for your answer." Li Junyue's eyes flickered and he thanked sincerely.

After a brief pause, he politely asked, "What should I call you two?"

"Jiang Wen Ning."

"Chen Yuan."

Li Junyue was stunned, and hesitated to speak: "Are they all real names? Will this work?"

If he were faced with this situation, there was no way he would reveal his real name.

"I understand your concerns. I have actually considered this issue as well." Chen Yuan said at the right time, "It's not so bad now. If new people join in the future, it's inevitable that some of them will have ill intentions."

"It seems a bit risky for us to all use our real names."

Li Junyue nodded secretly.

"How about we all call each other by code names?" When Jiang Wen Ning heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up, and many code names of mysterious organizations unconsciously emerged in her mind.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay."

"We can use the names of liquor, such as Tequila and Pisco." Jiang Wenning looked excited and said several code names in a row.

Chen Yuan waved his hand quickly: "These code names sound ominous." "Then" Jiang Wenning tilted her head and thought for a while, and suddenly her beautiful eyes flashed, "How about using fruit?"

Without waiting for either of them to respond, she made her choice: "I am Yuzu."

Chen Yuan didn't care much about this thing, shrugged and said: "Then I am Orange."

"Watermelon." Li Junyue said concisely.

"Okay!" Jiang Wenning stood up from the bed suddenly. The light blue cat beside her glanced at her with its amber eyes, then quickly looked away. "Then we will be part of the fruit factory in the future."

Chen Yuan laughed helplessly: "Okay, you have the final say."

"What does Uncle Watermelon think?" Jiang Wenning asked.

A black line appeared on Li Junyue's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm only thirty years old, don't call me uncle!"

Immediately, he exhaled lightly: "You should not be 20 yet, right?"

Jiang Wenning chuckled and said, "You guessed wrong. I'm 22 years old this year and I just graduated not long ago."

Li Junyue couldn't help but think of the evaluation of college students - clear and stupid, so he muttered quietly: "No wonder."

"By the way, Jiang Youzi, do you know how to grow spiritual plants?" Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something.

"Plant spiritual plants?" Jiang Wen Ning was stunned.

"Yes, I accidentally got a spiritual plant, and then I plan to plant the remaining fruit cores at home. I wonder if it will work?" Chen Yuan said simply.

"It should be okay, right?" Jiang Wenning's tone was uncertain. He put his right hand on his chin and thought for a moment, then continued, "After the spiritual energy revived, the soil also contained a certain amount of spiritual energy, so the vegetables and fruits grown here taste better and are more nutritious than before."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"If you're in a hurry, I'll look up the relevant information tomorrow," Jiang Wenning added.

"Then please."

"It's okay. I'm just curious, is it aimed at pets or the spiritual plants of beastmasters?" Jiang Wen Ning asked curiously.

Chen Yuan was slightly startled: "Are there any targets for beastmasters?"

"Of course." Jiang Wenning explained, "Some spiritual plants can enhance the spiritual power and physical fitness of the beastmaster."

Chen Yuan nodded subconsciously, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Speaking of which, I caught a golden crucian carp today. After eating it, I felt that my physical and mental strength were strengthened a bit."

Li Junyue, who had been frowning, suddenly widened his eyes.

"This is a kind of spiritual fish. I'm not sure what species it is. It is a great supplement for both the beastmaster and the pet."

After saying this, Jiang Wenning blinked his eyes, with a hint of envy in his tone: "You are so lucky, with both spiritual plants and spiritual fish, you have encountered all the good things."

She sighed: "Unlike me, even though I have money, I can't buy these things now because I don't have the channels."

Chen Yuan: “.”

Li Junyue: “.”

After a long time,

Li Junyue stopped meditating and sat in the utility room in a daze. He stared at the ceiling above his head for a long time, and finally let out a long breath and tiptoed back to the bedroom.

In the pitch black,

He gently kissed his wife's forehead, his voice mixed with restrained excitement: "Wife, life will get better and better in the future."

"I promise you that."
