Chapter 98 Immortal Official

It is normal for rangers to keep pets.

After all, most of the time they have to stay alone in the ranger camp and can only communicate with the outside world through the Internet.

If you are not a person who likes to be alone, you will feel lonely in this environment to a certain extent.

At this time, having a lively pet can greatly alleviate this loneliness.

As far as Yu Ke knows, Tang Bin and other colleagues have basically raised cats, dogs, parrots and the like. Wu Anhe has also specially trained a hunting dog with excellent appearance, which is a good helper for his work.

Yu Ke also thought about raising a dog, and for this reason he specially selected the breed online, aiming at a smart border collie.

As a result, because of the Pandora incident, he was busy solving the crisis and had no time to care about it, so he put this matter behind his mind, but he didn't expect Ansai Li to give him a new choice.

The next day after returning from the transfer station, Yu Ke got up early to clean up.

Cleaned every corner of the tower room, and prepared the nest and food for the two-tailed leopard.

As for the movable climbing frame or teething stick, there is no need to prepare them at all. This is the Mirror Lake Forest, the most familiar environment for the two-tailed leopard.

Just as Yu Ke was chopping wood in the camp, the horn of an off-road vehicle finally came from outside.

Putting down the axe and walking out of the camp, an off-road vehicle with the emblem of the patrol team on the body drove towards him and stopped in front of the camp.

An Saili, who was wearing a uniform, got out of the car and greeted Yu Ke, holding a large orange pet box in his hand.

"Its current condition is not very good. The vigilance and self-esteem of the ferocious beast cub are very strong. It is not adapted to the environment in the Forest Defense Bureau. It may be more comfortable here. The most important thing is to let it open its mouth to eat, otherwise it will soon be unable to bear it."

Putting the pet box on the ground, An Saili looked at Yu Ke with concern.

"I prepared some animal milk powder and chopped fresh meat. I wonder which one it prefers now."

Taking out the prepared things from the bag on his waist, Yu Ke took two steps forward and squatted in front of the pet box, looking inside.

In the dim pet box, Yu Ke first noticed a pair of light golden animal pupils, and then saw a two-tailed leopard cub huddled in the innermost corner, which was about the same size as an ordinary hare.

The level of the carnivorous beast that can survive in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest is needless to say, and the mutant cub in front of him is obviously different from the two-tailed leopard that Yu Ke looked up on the Internet last night.

The hair of the ordinary two-tailed leopard is bright yellow with black spots, which is somewhat like the leopard that Yu Ke has seen before, but it is larger and has an extra tail.

However, what appeared in front of Yu Ke at this time was a cub with brown-red hair, only a few black stripes on the body, narrower facial lines, and more luxuriant hair on the cheeks and neck than other places.

This is obviously the result of mutation.

When Yu Ke was looking at the mutant cub, the latter also noticed its existence and leaned against the inner wall of the pet box to make a threatening growl. Perhaps because of its weak body, there was a hint of fatigue and panic in the growl.

After opening the gate in front of the pet box, Yu Ke tried to pass the bottle and minced meat in, but the cub had no intention of approaching. He looked up at Ansai Li and asked,

"How did you feed it before?"

"It can't be fed. We can only use sedative spray and then inject nutrient solution. It doesn't eat anything handed over by humans."

Ansai Li shook his head and said helplessly,

"The change in the living environment and the helplessness of this cub have a strong resistance to any creature that approaches. This is why I chose to bring it to Jinghu Forest. I hope the forest environment can relax it."

Hearing Ansai Li's explanation, Yu Ke couldn't help but frown. After a brief thought, he took back the minced meat in his hand, opened the bottle, poured the animal milk into his palm, and then reached directly into the pet box.

"Hey! This kind of beast starts growing teeth when it's very young, it will hurt you!"

Noticing Yu Ke's actions, An Sai Li hurriedly warned him, but just as she was about to step forward, Yu Ke raised his hand to stop her.

"Don't move, I have a way."

In fact, at the same time when he put his hand into the pet box, Yu Ke noticed the ferocity of the two-tailed leopard cub.

Long-term repression has accumulated too many negative emotions in the cub's heart, and the palm stretched out in front of it is undoubtedly the closest outlet for it to vent.

So without any surprise, Yu Ke was bitten.

As expected of a ferocious beast cub, it was a mutant. After biting the soft flesh on the edge of Yu Ke's palm, it instinctively shook its head and began to tear it.

The tingling sensation entered Yu Ke's mind, but instead of stopping it, he took the initiative to give up defense.

In fact, as long as Yu Ke clenched his fist, with his current physical fitness, the cub would not be able to hurt him at all, but would hurt the already fragile cub, so he just tilted his palm to allow the milk in the palm to slide into the cub's open mouth.

"Does this really work?"

An Saili, who walked behind Yu Ke, saw the former's actions to protect the cub, and couldn't help asking in surprise.

"Not even close."

Yu Ke calmly watched the cub bite his palm until blood oozed from the edge of his palm.

He did this not only to feed the cub animal milk to restore his strength, but more importantly, the chain reaction after the palm was injured.

You have to know that this is the Mirror Lake Forest, which meets the conditions for the activation of the Heart of the Wilderness, and his right hand also has the gift of the forest spirit.

Judging from the fact that the Shadow Moon Leopard is willing to become the assistant of the forest spirit, natural energy has a natural affinity for these creatures living in the Mirror Lake Forest, and what Yu Ke is waiting for now is for this cub to vent its negative emotions and feel the nourishment of natural energy.

Facts have proved that Yu Ke's choice is correct.

When the natural energy began to repair the injury on the edge of his palm, the closest two-tailed leopard cub instinctively sensed this extremely gentle energy, and the biting action gradually stopped, retracted its teeth, and turned to lick the wound.

Drink the animal milk mixed with Yu Ke's blood into the body.

Woo~Hulu~

The fierce roar turned into a gentle whimper. Yu Ke knew the opportunity had come, and hurriedly poured more milk into his palm and fed it all to the cub who had already started eating.

The relaxed cub no longer resisted, first drank up the milk, and then swallowed all the fresh meat that Yu Ke had cut into small strips in advance.

Yu Ke took it out of the pet box with one hand and held it in his arms. The cub sniffed the smell of the former, curled up into a ball and fell asleep. The long-tense mind finally relaxed at this moment.

"It actually succeeded"

An Saili, who watched Yu Ke tame the cub throughout the whole process, saw this scene and whispered to himself.

It's not that there are no professional trainers in the Forest Protection Bureau. Other two-tailed leopard cubs have compromised in hunger and received proper care, but this mutant cub is the only one who refuses to let down his guard no matter what.

For this reason, Ansai Li chose to bring it back to Jinghu Forest. She didn't expect that Yu Ke would be recognized in such a short time after taking over, which undoubtedly exceeded her expectations.

The infusion device prepared in advance in the trunk seemed to be useless.

Could it be because of the environment, or because Yu Ke stayed in Jinghu Forest all day, so he was more easily accepted?

In fact, it was not Yu Ke who was recognized by the cub, but the forest spirit. The mark left by the latter comforted the cub and made it realize that Yu Ke was not an enemy, which enabled it to be tamed so smoothly.

This is also one of the hidden abilities of the gift of the forest spirit to some extent.

After sending the two-tailed leopard into the tower and putting it in the nest prepared in advance, Yu Ke returned to the camp and reunited with Ansai Li.

"Congratulations on harvesting a mutant cub. It seems that my choice is correct. You are indeed the most suitable owner for it."

Regardless of other things, seeing Yu Ke's attitude towards the cub, Ansai Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and also had a good impression of him in his heart.

"Haha~ This is a mutant cub, which others can't even ask for."

Yu Ke waved his hand, motioning An Saili to go to the side, and moved two chairs to sit on the open space beside the field, and brought out a plate of cut fruit and vegetable snacks,

"This is the spiritual fruit I picked some time ago, which can enhance people's digestion ability and tastes good."

"Spiritual fruit. Are the conditions here so good?"

Seeing that Yu Ke actually used spiritual fruit to entertain guests, even An Saili was shocked by his wealth.

Looking around, the buildings in various parts of the camp are not so exquisite and elegant, but they are neat and orderly. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, the golden sun, and occasionally the wind blows through the forest, and there is a "rustling~" sound, which makes people feel different.

Although the patrol team is usually near Jinghu Forest, they are either on a mission or on the way to a mission. Where can they enjoy the beauty of the forest and this slow-paced life?

"It's just an unexpected gain. Besides, what you brought me is a mutant cub. If you are reluctant to give me such a small thing, I am too stingy."

Compared to the cubs upstairs, the flesh-eating vine cores that can be dug at any time in the vine jungle are nothing to Yu Ke.

"There are only two of us here. Tell me the bottom line, how strong are you now."

After eating for a while, An Saili thought about it and couldn't help asking,

"You are now a special consultant of the Forestry Bureau. There will definitely be tasks assigned to you in the future. At least we should have a rough estimate, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's hard to describe. There is no standard for judgment."

Yu Ke meant that because of the existence of the professional label system, his strength often increases suddenly, so it is difficult to have a clear definition.

"Some time ago, the National Disaster Prevention Bureau established a set of universal assessment mechanisms for domestic supernatural beings. Perhaps you can use it to judge yourself?"

As the number of supernatural beings awakening in the private sector continues to increase, it is particularly important to assess the status and strength of supernatural beings, so that the country can formulate appropriate response methods for supernatural beings at various stages and manage them.

"Okay, what are the specifics?"

Yu Ke was also quite curious about what level his strength could reach.

"At present, the country has set five levels based on the state of the awakened supernatural beings, namely, supernatural, power, burning skills, guarding, and immortal officials. The basis for the evaluation of the first three levels is the degree of development of the supernatural beings' awakening abilities, which has nothing to do with the specific destructive power. The latter two represent how large the impact they can cause by relying on their own supernatural abilities."

As the captain of the third patrol group, Ansai Li has obviously been exposed to this evaluation system and quickly made a corresponding explanation.

Supernatural: Just awakened supernatural abilities, not clear about the specific nature of the abilities, not knowing how to use their own supernatural abilities, often out of control of abilities.

Power: Understand the supernatural abilities you have, no longer out of control under normal circumstances, can skillfully adjust the intensity of the ability release, and use the ability to deal with things happening in the outside world.

Scorching skills: Have a deeper understanding of your own abilities, can skillfully use them and try to develop them on this basis, create more skills and means, and let the supernatural abilities reach a new height.

Compared to judging the level of extraordinary people by the superficial destructive power, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to use the development and application of extraordinary abilities as the judging standard.

After all, some people's extraordinary abilities are not destructive, and we can't judge them as weak just because they can't cause destruction.

"I should be considered slightly above the power level, but not yet at the level of burning skills."

Yu Ke pondered for a while and came to a conclusion.

The professional label system is far from the limit, and he has not yet fully mastered the use of several newly acquired extraordinary traits, and he is indeed not at the level of burning skills.

Of course, the actual combat effectiveness of the same power-level extraordinary people may be very different due to different focuses.

"So your current strength level is far from the limit of the extraordinary abilities you have, and there is still a lot of room for development?"

Hearing Yu Ke's self-evaluation, An Sai Li asked with a strange expression.

Will there be a way out for other extraordinary people?

"That's about it. You haven't mentioned the last two ranks yet. What do the garrison and immortal officials mean?"

Yu Ke didn't plan to discuss his extraordinary abilities too much, so he decisively changed the subject.

"These two ranks are different from the first three. As I said just now, they represent that the target person's influence has far exceeded that of ordinary extraordinary people, and it also means that they are qualified to become the decision-makers of the official government."

When mentioning the last two ranks, An Sai Li's expression became serious, and he looked at Yu Ke and said,

"The garrison rank means that the extraordinary person's strength is strong enough to garrison a place. Then he will be recognized at the national level and become a core member of the local government. He will directly participate in the formulation and implementation of policies, and his status is similar to that of the director of the Danhang City Disaster Prevention Bureau."

"What about the immortal official?"

Yu Ke asked, if the garrison has reached the level of being able to govern a place, what kind of existence should the immortal official be?

"I don't know. The official has not released any information about this level. Their information is absolutely confidential and only the highest decision-makers are qualified to know. To some extent, you can regard them as the guardians of the country. Their strength is similar to that of the immortals on land."

An Saili shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

In fact, the title of immortal official itself explains a lot of things. Their existence can even be said to be the trump card of the country.

Later there is
