Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

If you read this article from start to finish, immersing yourself in it, you’ll inevitably come to one conclusion: a person like this is absolutely incapable of academic fraud.

Chen Yuan scrolled down, and the heated comment section appeared before his eyes:

"Finished the whole article, and I feel in complete admiration."

"The Guardian of Qinling, well-deserved!"

"Champion of the A-level competition, a dark horse in academics, also good at cultivating Spirit Plants. Even novels don’t dare to depict such characters!"

"Press 1 to switch life experiences with Advisor Chen for a day!"

Seeing the comments from netizens, Chen Yuan smiled slightly.

Then, he clicked on other related news reports, the vast majority praising his actions, with only a small number of marketing accounts deliberately stirring controversy, leaving a slew of criticisms in the comments section.

When both the Donghuang Beastmaster Association and the Qin Province Beastmaster Association posted congratulatory messages, public opinion shifted in favor of Chen Yuan, with most netizens marveling at his exceptional talent, having long moved past the "academic fraud" incident.

Not long after, the academic heavyweight Professor Song posted a comment on social media:

"The first time I met Advisor Chen was due to a small misunderstanding, which I won’t elaborate on here."

"At that time, our group was conducting research in Qinling and very luckily had Advisor Chen, who was familiar with the local environment and extremely capable, guiding us."

"After visiting Advisor Chen’s farm, I was astounded by his incredible talent in academic research and immediately contacted Dean Wu of our academy, insisting on recruiting Advisor Chen to our academy to assume the position of professor, but unfortunately, Advisor Chen is captivated by nature and has no interest in this."

"Once in Qinling, we encountered danger more than once."

"If not for Advisor Chen, we might have been swallowed by the snowstorm that day."

"At over fifty years old, my memory is poor, but I still remember those few days’ experiences. So many rare and mysterious Pet Beasts appeared before us, thanks to Advisor Chen, I had the fortune of getting close to them."

"I am aware of the recent online storm, but now I just want to say one thing: Advisor Chen, you are welcome to visit our academy for an exchange whenever you have time."

Following Professor Song’s comment, numerous influential figures in academia spoke up, some enthusiastically celebrating Chen Yuan’s achievements, others inviting him to visit their academies for exchanges, with some even directly offering him a professor position.

This completely dispelled the rumors of "academic fraud."

But the discussion regarding Chen Yuan is just beginning.

If the Da Feng Cup made everyone in Qin Province recognize and learn about him, this incident has directly brought his name into the homes of thousands, skyrocketing his fame in Donghuang to a level on par with Li Tianyun.

Yet compared to Li Tianyun, Chen Yuan has similarly outstanding achievements in other fields, giving him more topics of discussion.

All social media private messages have been bombarded, and if the message vibration mode is turned on, presumably, the phone would freeze due to the constant vibrations in just a moment.

At this moment, Zhou Xu called: "Advisor Chen, you’ve become famous."

Chen Yuan helplessly massaged his forehead: "It seems I’ve become too famous."

According to the elder, after winning the Da Feng Cup, quite a few people went to Xuanhe Village on purpose, some even trying to break into the farm, luckily blocked by the diligent Iron Head.

With this sudden fame, the farm will likely remain unsettled for some time.

Zhou Xu seemed to understand Advisor Chen’s concerns, smiling slightly: "Chairman Jian said this wave of public opinion will last only one or two days, just be patient for a moment."

Chen Yuan nodded slowly.

Achieving such great success is undoubtedly beneficial for the Qin Province Beastmaster Association, and Chairman Jian and his colleagues certainly hope the heat continues for a while.

But too much exposure is not a good thing for himself; every word and action will be magnified by the internet, and everything he does will be under the spotlight, something he doesn’t desire.

Fortunately, Chairman Jian understood his concerns and specifically asked Zhou Xu to convey a message not to worry.

Zhou Xu’s voice continued: "By the way, Advisor Chen, eleven Beast Taming Academies’ research departments have already sent you invitations, eight offering the associate professor position, three offering the full professor position..."

"Additionally, there have been invitations from a total of forty-two research institutes hoping for you to serve as a research advisor, with satisfactory remuneration..."

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: "They’re all being quite generous."

With official endorsements, and having someone like Professor Song, a giant in academia speaking on his behalf, coupled with some achievements, he became a hot commodity in an instant.

Yet he had no interest in any of them.

"Help me politely decline them all."

After saying this, Chen Yuan’s gaze subtly changed, carefully choosing his words: "I’m going to the mountains today; if anyone asks for me, just tell them to wait a few days."

It was just the right time to take the opportunity to visit Qing Bo and evade the outside world’s hustle and bustle, spending a couple of quiet days.

Wait for the heat to dissipate, and then return to the farm.

"Alright."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan noticed the snowstorm outside lessening and got up to prepare to head into the mountains.

But when he turned his head, he noticed the Twin Flower Concubine still asleep, furrowing his brows instantly.

This was very unusual.

Though the little creature’s diligence couldn’t compare to the industrious Iron Head, compared to other little companions, it was considered hardworking, usually starting training voluntarily early every morning, needing no supervision from Chen Yuan.

Yet it hadn’t woken up today; could the little creature be ill?

Chen Yuan’s heart tightened, stretching out his right hand, ready to touch the little creature’s forehead, but it seemed to sense something and suddenly opened its beautiful pink eyes.

Chen Yuan withdrew his right hand, just ready to ask, suddenly frowned, and looked down at his arm.

Using his strength suddenly, his muscles stood out, and he could suddenly feel the abundant energy within.

His physical condition had improved once more, getting a step closer to being superhuman.
