Chapter 313 - 187: Win Over Advisor Chen at All Costs! (Part 2)

"This matter should be handled by you as the director, gather his information, develop a comprehensive plan, and spare no expense in recruiting him!"

After a brief pause, Professor Song added an important piece of information: "He seems to be very interested in things that showcase self-value."

November 2nd, Sunday.

The sky was just beginning to lighten with a crab shell blue hue, and the Qinling peaks were still wrapped in mist; Chen Wenhao, conditioned by his school routine, woke up early.

He got up swiftly, pushed open the door to the courtyard, and breathed in the fresh air deep in the mountains, feeling physically and mentally content because he didn’t have to worry about the research mission.

Run Run Duck was lying on a big rock beside the fish pond, body stretched out, laying itself like a feather blanket, with eyes slightly squinted, waiting for the first ray of sunlight to gild its belly.

Beside it, the Luminous Fruit Tree dropped a few leaves, one of which it caught with a twist of its neck, chewed twice, but disdainfully spat it into the wind.

Cola was chasing a colorful butterfly, knocking over the fence beside the field and frightening the strolling Little Chicks.

Feathers stuck to its nose tip, a sneeze unleashed a small whirlwind, blowing all the clothes hanging in the corner of the yard to the ground.

"Awooo!"

Cola immediately sensed trouble, quickly gazed around, and after not seeing the owner, let out a long sigh of relief.

Chen Wenhao smiled slightly and stepped forward to pick up the clothes from the ground.

"Woo~"

This understanding human made Cola’s eyes light up with joy, its fluffy big tail wagged and it extended its paw to pat the squatting Chen Wenhao.

From now on, I’ve got your back!

As the sweet aroma of breakfast wafted from the kitchen, the morning mist just dissipated. Sunlight split the clouds, glazing the farm with amber hues.

After being well-fed and watered, Chen Yuan decided on the mountain expedition lineup:

Spark and Cola, the two main forces, were indispensable.

The Twin Flower Concubine couldn’t be left out of his side.

The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, as a riding Pet Beast, could save Chen Yuan a lot of physical strength. Plus, it had broken through to Tier Two in the past two days, resulting in a qualitative leap in power, acting like a wall in most battles.

Chen Yuan looked at the other little ones: Iron Head’s gaze was firm, but it had to guard the gate; Electric Flying Cat was still curled up in the cabin snoozing loudly; Run Run Duck lay motionless on the big rock, with its tail facing the sun.

As for Bean Chicken and Wood Spirit Rat...

"Forget it, just these four." Chen Yuan said.

After confirming the mountain expedition lineup, Chen Yuan placed the prepared supplies in the saddlebags on both sides of the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, clapped his hands: "Everything’s ready."

Breaking through to Tier Two, the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast’s size had grown twofold compared to before.

The two-meter shoulder height cast a shadow enough to cover two Chen Yuan, with hair the color of brown, thick and stout like armor, and from its jaw hung translucent white whiskers fluttering freely, resembling a frozen moonlit waterfall.

Soon, Jiang Wenning arrived at the farm, asking the two to gather at the village entrance.

"Dian Dian!"

In a dream, the Electric Flying Cat smelled a soul-pulling scent, its eyes snapped open, and it whizzed out of the cabin.

There it is!

The Electric Flying Cat immediately saw the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat lying on Jiang Wenning’s shoulder, grinning widely, its yellow thin wings joyfully flapped, eager to run up to her.

Suddenly, it remembered Chen Yuan’s words from last night.

No way!

It must show its brilliance!

The Electric Flying Cat’s flight speed immediately slowed down, holding its head high, it approached the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat with an extremely arrogant posture.

"Dian!"

The Electric Flying Cat’s eyes revealed three parts disdain, three parts indifference, three parts dominance, and one part nonchalance.

"Meow?"

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat tilted its head to observe the Electric Flying Cat, which was so different from yesterday.

The Electric Flying Cat was joyfully ecstatic inside, but tightened its face to maintain composure.

It’s interested in me!

Yet the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat quickly retracted its gaze, gently landing on the ground, gracefully walking towards the pond, coming beside the sunbathing Run Run Duck.

"Quack quack~"

Run Run Duck noticed the sunlight was blocked, parted two lotus leaves, and angrily glared at the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat.

Don’t block Duck Me from sunbathing!

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat’s eyes showed much curiosity, mimicking Run Run Duck’s posture by lying on the big rock, letting the soft sunlight fall on its body.

Run Run Duck and Ice Crystal Illusion Cat lay side by side, quietly.

The Electric Flying Cat was instantly annoyed, its cheeks bursting forth with dazzling electric currents, creating a spectacle of light.

Look!

This is my brilliance!

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat just gave a faint glance at the Electric Flying Cat and immediately withdrew its gaze.

"Dian Dian!"

The Electric Flying Cat flew to the two little ones, glaring angrily at Run Run Duck.

Duck Duck, I challenge you one-on-one!

Run Run Duck ignored it, while Ice Crystal Illusion Cat gave it a disdainful look.

It hated violent maniacs the most.

Crack!

The sound of a heart breaking.

"Grandpa, we’re off now."

Chen Yuan and Chen Wenhao waved goodbye to the elder leaning against the gate, with the petite Cold-Biting Ox lying by his leg.

According to Professor Song’s plan, this mountain expedition would take at least five days, with a hustle-bustle process, possibly delayed by special circumstances.

The farm would rely entirely on the little ones to guard it.

However, the farm’s security forces were unprecedentedly strong, along with the Puppy Team and Violent Cloud Sparrow flock patrolling all day, the safety factor greatly enhanced.

Plus, with the Snow Cloud Wolf threat eliminated, the farm was safer than ever.

A moment later,

everyone gathered at the village entrance, officially setting off.

Although Professor Song was elderly and not a Beastmaster, his spirit and physical condition were no less than young people; walking and climbing mountains were no issue.

But considering the importance of conserving energy, one of the Investigation Department members specially sent out a riding Pet Beast for Professor Song to ride.
