Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger
Chapter 284 - 178: When Cola Takes the Written Driving Test (Part 3)
"Candidates 4001 to 4010, please enter the waiting area," a staff member shouted loudly.
"Cola, it’s up to you now."
Chen Yuan squatted down and put a pair of decorative round glasses on Cola, adding a touch of scholarly air.
"Hold on to your documents, don’t lose them."
"Remember, you have two chances for the first test. If you fail the first time, you can retake it immediately."
"Don’t be nervous; if you don’t do well, you can try again next time. Anyway, the registration fee is free, so there’s no pressure."
Manager Zhang’s mouth twitched slightly.
"Woof woof~"
Cola nodded, looked through the lens at Chen Yuan, and wagged its tail lightly.
Then, Cola ran towards the waiting area straight ahead.
After a few steps, Cola instinctively turned its head and saw its owner waving his fist, immediately calming its previously anxious heart: "Woof woof!"
To drive, for my owner, I must pass the first test!
As Cola resolutely entered the waiting area, Lv Hao waved his phone: "I’ll livestream after the exam, brothers wait for my good news."
Putting away his phone, Lv Hao quickly walked towards the waiting area to verify his identity.
Cola happened to be in front of him in line.
Looking at the Gale Hunting Dog ahead, Lv Hao took a step forward, trying to get ahead of it, muttering in a low voice, "What’s wrong with the staff? Can’t they manage the queue?"
"Woof woof!"
Cola looked up at Lv Hao, eyes wide, and let out a warning bark.
No cutting in line!
Startled by the sudden bark, Lv Hao quickly raised his hands: "Hey, dog brother, I need to take the test. Help me out; I’ll bring you a sausage next time."
"Woof!"
Cola’s gaze was fierce, showing no sign of backing down.
Lv Hao was helpless and called a staff member: "Can you get this Gale Hunting Dog out of here? It’s disrupting the test order."
"Woof woof~"
Cola quickly approached, signaling the staff member to check the document tied around its neck.
The staff took a look and their expression turned peculiar: "Sir, it’s also a candidate."
"What?"
Lv Hao was stunned.
The staff didn’t answer, silently placed Cola’s document on the verification machine, and performed a face recognition for the dog. The cold machine voice sounded: "Name: Cola, Exam Subject: First Test..."
Lv Hao was greatly shocked: "Dogs can take driving tests?"
The staff explained: "This is a new regulation; Pet Beasts can also register for driving tests."
Lv Hao fell silent, but as a professional streamer, his mind quickly spun with hundreds of ways to cash in on the Gale Hunting Dog, returning to normalcy: "Dog brother, I... uh, my human eyes underestimated you. Don’t mind."
Cola glanced at Lv Hao, ignored him, and swaggered into the exam hall.
Under the guidance of the staff and the strange looks from many candidates, Cola sat in front of a computer and officially started answering questions.
Multiple Choice:
1: During your trip, you encounter the vehicle in front suddenly changing lanes and cutting in. How should the driver respond?
A: Accelerate immediately to prevent the other from merging
B: Immediately use skills to attack the opposing driver, forcing them to stop
C: Slow down to maintain a safe distance
D: Drive into the other vehicle
Cola’s eyes shifted, realizing it was a freebie question, and chose C without hesitation.
2: On a hot summer day, if you’re a Fire-type Pet Beast driving and sleeping on the steering wheel causing the car temperature to spike, the correct action is?
A: Have an Ice-type Pet Beast use skills to cool the steering wheel
B: You can’t sleep while driving
C: Consume unidentified cooling drugs
D: Drive the car into the water
This was a very typical trap question, but simple. Cola chose B without thinking.
3: Which of the following actions qualifies as "Pet Beast friendly illegal parking"?
A: Wind-type Pet Beast uses airflow to suspend the vehicle
B: Purchase sausages under a no parking sign
C: Use invisibility skill to squat and avoid parking tickets
D: None of the above
...
When Cola was focused on answering questions, Lv Hao entered the exam hall and sat on Cola’s left.
Unlike Cola’s Pet Beast specialized test, Lv Hao was taking the old version.
Lv Hao sat down, subconsciously glanced at Cola seriously answering questions, the glasses reflecting a glow of wisdom, and muttered quietly: "Times have changed, even dogs can take driving tests."
"I can’t lose to a dog."
Rolling up his sleeves, Lv Hao took a deep breath, his gaze became firm. As he saw the test questions on the computer screen, his brows furrowed: "Oh no, I didn’t review these last night."
As time ticked by, Lv Hao furrowed his brow, racking his brain over the test questions. Through the corner of his eye, he saw Cola leaving its seat and jumping to the floor, suddenly shocked: "Done already?"
"Did you pass?"
For a moment, looking at Cola’s departing back, Lv Hao’s mind was in chaos.
If this Gale Hunting Dog passed, and he didn’t, wouldn’t that mean he’s even worse than a dog?
No way!
This absolutely cannot happen!
Lv Hao took another deep breath, steadied himself, and focused on the exam like never before.
Moments later,
With a blank expression, Lv Hao left the exam hall holding an unqualified report card.
He not only failed, but the distance to passing was significant.
Most importantly, he didn’t pass even on the retake.
Just then, fierce discussions reached his ears:
"Did you hear? A dog passed the first driving test."
"It’s not just any dog, it’s a Gale Hunting Dog!"
"Regardless of what dog it is, it’s still a dog. If a human fails, it’s really human less than a dog, hahaha."
"You know, there really are fools who can’t pass the first test." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Even less than a dog?"
Face ashen, Lv Hao silently clenched the report card in his hand.
"No way, I’m going to cram!"
"I refuse to believe, if a dog can pass, I can’t!"
