Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 243 Chen Nian's 1v10 Exclusive Tutoring
Within the experimental area that has been temporarily isolated.

Chen Nian let out a soft breath.

"Xiao Jiu is finished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the last bit of force in his fingertips dissipated quietly, like a spring breeze brushing across the water.

The little snow leopard named Xiao Jiu remained limp on the platform.

Her big, blue eyes were slightly narrowed.

It seems like they're still savoring that comfortable, tingling feeling from just now!
Seeing its adorable appearance, Chen Nian smiled and gently tapped its wet nose, saying softly, "Little Jiu, wake up! Your turn is over~"

嘤？
Xiao Jiu then opened her blue eyes, which were shrouded in a thin mist, in a daze.

The little head was raised, looking at Chen Nian with a puzzled expression.

Why did you stop pressing it?

She's sleeping soundly!
Chen Nian was amused by its naturally clueless reaction, and the corners of her lips curled up.

He reached out, but instead of immediately picking it up, he gently stroked the exceptionally soft downy fur on its chin with his fingertips.

That's all for today.

His tone was like that of someone coaxing a child who longs for a hug, full of boundless patience and doting affection.

Even after the zookeeper took Xiao Jiu away, Xiao Jiu still slept as if strolling on a cloud.

"Little Jiu is such a sleepyhead."

Chen Nian smiled and shook her head.

He gently rotated his wrists a few times to relieve the muscle soreness caused by the continuous massage, and then looked at the last one, which was also the youngest snow leopard cub.

"Only Xiao Shi is left."

The dedicated zookeeper picked up the tenth puppy that had been waiting in line.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Xiao Shi immediately scurried towards Chen Nian.

"You've been waiting impatiently, haven't you? Haha!"

Chen Nian smiled and ruffled a tuft of hair on its head, then looked at Teacher Tang standing to the side.

Then they brought out the long-awaited little 10.

"Teacher Tang, are you going to take care of Xiao Shi from now on?"

"No problem, no problem!"

Professor Tang's face immediately broke into a solemn and expectant smile.

Unlike Chen Nian, who was in direct contact, Tang Rong was wearing a pair of thin latex gloves.

This is a necessary step.

Aside from Chen Nian, these sensitive little ones are extremely averse to direct touch from strangers, and it can even trigger a stress response!

Even their keepers are like that.

Chen Nian doesn't need to.

No matter what he did, these little guys were exceptionally 'tolerant' of him.

Currently.

The 'massage program' has been going on for a week.

It was also during this week that a team of professional keepers, appointed by relevant departments, arrived and took over the daily care of these national treasure-level "little devils".

Each of these ten snow leopard cubs is incredibly precious.

It involves the hard work and expectations of countless people.

With the addition of this professional team, Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue were able to finally have a much heavier burden lifted off their shoulders!

After all, it involves taking care of ten energetic 'little devils' with different needs at the same time.

It's an extremely time-consuming task!

Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows this.

Of course, the zookeepers are only responsible for taking care of the little guys' daily lives; they can't help with the research projects.

Therefore, over the past week, Chen Nian has become a dedicated tutor for one-on-ten students.

During this week, he used his seemingly magical hands to repeatedly caress, perceive, and memorize the body structure, muscle tension, and potential nodes of each snow leopard cub, ultimately transforming them into detailed data that was recorded.

Professor Tang remained by the control panel like a most devout student.

He watched Chen Nian's every subtle movement intently. If there was anything he didn't understand, he would immediately and humbly ask Chen Nian for guidance.

He showed absolutely no airs of a renowned professor, only a thirst for knowledge and a respect for life.

A week of observation and theoretical learning.

Today marked the first time we put it into practice!
At this moment, he was facing Xiao Shi, the youngest and most lovable of the snow leopard cubs.

My little ten is just over three months old.

It is smaller than its older brothers and sisters.

But his eyes were exceptionally round and bright, revealing a clever and mischievous spirit.
It was currently lying restlessly on the operating table covered with a soft towel, its little bottom sticking up and down, stubbornly trying to climb over Professor Tang and towards Chen Nian, who was standing a little further away.

Xiao Shi's dedicated caretaker is a kind and honest young man.

He was peering longingly through the glass window of the laboratory.

Seeing Xiao Shi's undisguised dependence on Chen Nian, he couldn't help but mutter sourly, "I feed it and play with it every day, and I don't even get this kind of treatment!"

"call"

Inside the control room, Professor Tang took a deep breath.

I tried hard to recall the details that had been etched into my mind this past week.

Then, he reached out his gloved hand and gently pressed down on Xiao Shi's wriggling body to prevent it from falling off the platform.

Then bring your right index and middle fingers together.

Recalling what Chen Nian had said about "one-third of the way to the side of the first vertebra", I located the spot and pressed down with just the right amount of pressure.

The little guy's warm body temperature and firm muscles were felt on my fingertips.

He carefully applied just the right amount of pressure.

Eek?!

In an instant, Xiao Shi, who had been struggling like a little kitten, suddenly stopped.

Immediately, the four little paws that had been tense and trying to exert force softened as if melted by the warm spring sun, revealing the dark paw pads hidden in the thick downy fur.

Like four miniature black velvet flowers that bloom in an instant!
"It's done!"

Professor Tang almost cheered, but he forced himself to hold back.

I was afraid of disturbing this perfect moment!

A radiant smile spread across his face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out because of this pure joy, making him look several years younger all of a sudden.

Chen Nian watched closely from the side, and a smile of approval appeared in her eyes.

He gently instructed, "That's it! Teacher Tang, maintain this pressure. Now, move down half a finger's width along the spine, yes, right here, feel that small indentation."

He gave instructions in a soft voice while constantly observing Xiao Shi's reaction.

It will remind you if anything is wrong.

However, the teaching process was far more difficult than Chen Nian had initially anticipated.

Whether it's Professor Tang Rong in front of us or Dr. Thompson before us, they are both leaders in their respective fields, and their learning abilities are beyond doubt.

But progress on this seemingly simple massage technique is so slow it's frustrating.

Even if one were to occasionally find the right spot by chance, the soothing effect would be far less than that of Chen Nian.

Xiaomi's explanation for this is:
The massage techniques that Chen Nian mastered were directly instilled by the system, forming perfect 'muscle memory'.

This is equivalent to skipping all the exploration and practice.

He went directly from zero to a perfect level.

Therefore, every move he makes is precise, consistent, and perfectly timed.

However, breaking down this almost instinctive skill into language and actions and systematically teaching it to others is no less difficult than asking a genius athlete to explain all the biomechanical principles behind each of their perfect movements.

This requires immense patience and repeated practice in a step-by-step manner!

In just five minutes of practice, Professor Tang's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

This demonstrates a high level of mental concentration.

"I'll stop here."
