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

Chapter 304 A Different Ling Bufu

With such delicious food in front of you, brotherhood can wait!
On the other side of the grid.

Chen Nian and Xue Aotian watched this scene and couldn't help but show a deep sense of satisfaction.

The plan goes through!
Using Xiaomi cat food to make friends is always a winning strategy!

Even the little kitten on Chen Nian's head couldn't help but curl the corners of its mouth into a smile.

To be honest, it never imagined that kitten food could be used in this way. It's true that where there's a will, there's a way.

The people in the monitoring room couldn't help but laugh.

Because Chen Nian and Xue Aotian look exactly alike at this moment!
"No wonder she's my biological child."

"They say the longer you raise a child, the more it will resemble the animal, and that's really true!"

"They're practically identical."

Soon, the two brothers cleaned up all the kitten food on the ground, leaving not a single grain.

Xue Aotian approached the grid again in a friendly manner.

This time the situation is completely different.

Even Ling Xiaozhe, who was previously the most aloof, awkwardly and reluctantly came over and took the initiative to complete the formal "kissing ceremony" with Xue Aotian, which can be regarded as officially accepting this new neighbor friend.

They were just little leopards of similar age, and their minds were simple.

Although I was initially taken aback by Xue Aotian's size, after a meal of cat food, coupled with Xue Aotian's friendliness and generosity, my unpleasantness had long since vanished!

Their relationship progressed rapidly under the influence of food.

The atmosphere was much friendlier and more peaceful than when I first met the old lady.

Before long, it started licking its fur through the net.

Interestingly, even though Xiao Zhe and Xiao Mang are both older than Xue Aotian, the two leopards didn't hesitate to come over and let Xue Aotian lick their fur.

In the social language of felines.

It is often the one of higher status, or the one that is showing friendliness and acceptance, that takes the initiative to groom the one of slightly lower status or wants to show goodwill, in order to groom the fur and express closeness.

It can also be seen as a subtle display of status.

Of course, the simple-minded Xue Aotian had no awareness of this.

In its view, 'Zhemo Mang' is about the same age as itself, so there is naturally no question of who is superior or inferior.

We are all equal friends~
After tidying up his two new friends, Xue Aotian finally lay down lazily on his side, his back to them, and began to snore comfortably.

Xiao Zhe and Xiao Mang are also very sensible.

They immediately leaned forward and earnestly licked Xue Aotian's thick, beautiful fur with their little tongues, beginning their reward service.

Thus concludes Aotian's Dating Battle 2.0.
A huge success!

All we need to do is wait for tomorrow's official contact, and two more names of the same kind will be added to Xue Aotian's friend list. Chen Nian's mission will also take a big step forward!

Chen Nian nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the three white furry balls happily frolicking inside and outside the grid, I felt a fatherly sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, like seeing his son grow up.

Then he stepped forward.

After comforting and praising each of the three snow leopard cubs, giving them a little treat, and patting their fluffy little heads, I left the enclosure with a great sense of accomplishment.

night.

Chen Nian sat in front of her laptop.

The screen displayed the 'personal profiles' of all the snow leopards at Nishino, which the zoo director had sent him, including those that were more low-key and rarely appeared in front of tourists.

Chen Nian's goal is to select more suitable companions for Xue Aotian from among them.

His goal is not just five.

The more friends you have, the better!
Chen Nian was not greedy.

Getting to know them fairly well is enough. Before that, he needs to personally 'interview' these snow leopards, familiarize himself with their personalities and temperaments, and see if they are suitable to get along harmoniously with Xue Aotian.

At the same time, Chen Nian also had her own little schemes.

Xue Aotian, after all, did not grow up in the wild, and his experience in wilderness survival was almost zero.

In this respect, he, a two-legged dad, has no way of teaching.

The best teachers are, of course, those experienced senior colleagues.

As for a suitable leopard, Chen Nian already has one.

Ling is not convinced!
If we're talking about the entire snow leopard community in Xiye, who has the strongest wildness, the most imposing presence, the most temper, and the most distinctive personality?

Then, none of them would be more convinced than Ling!
Although he now enjoys a comfortable 'retired old cadre' life in the zoo, this cannot erase Ling Bufu's imposing and domineering nature, sharp eyes, and the "don't touch me" attitude that seems to be written all the time.

Its occasional fierce, domineering expression reveals itself.

It silently tells the story of its glorious past and legendary history.

If we could get a 'big shot' like Ling Bufu to be Xue Aotian's wilderness survival mentor...
Chen Nian felt that the teaching effect was absolutely top-notch!
Extremely efficient!

Thinking of this, Chen Nian decisively moved the mouse and opened the folder named 'Ling Bufu-Archives' in the file list.

After carefully reviewing it twice, I made the decision immediately!

"It's up to you!"

"Okay! Let's go see Teacher Ling Bufu tomorrow!"

Chen Nian was full of confidence.

With his deep understanding of snow leopard behavior, even if the initial intimacy level isn't high, it's entirely possible to start with initial contact and communication to gradually build a bond.

So Chen Nian told the headmaster about her plan.

"Teacher Chen, are you going to contact Ling Bufu?"

The principal, who had always readily agreed to requests before, surprisingly hesitated this time.

"Yes, Director."

"I think that with Ling Bufu's rich experience in surviving in the wild, it should be able to impart a lot of valuable knowledge and skills to Xue Aotian, and it would be an excellent teacher. So I want to try to get in touch with it first and lay the groundwork for our relationship."

"Ah this."

The kindergarten principal on the other end sent a cute, wry smile emoji: "This might be difficult to prepare for."

"Huh?" Chen Nian was taken aback, a hint of curiosity rising in her heart.

Then he saw a new message from the principal.

"Ling Bufu's situation is a bit special. Anyway, you'll know when you go see Ling Bufu tomorrow, Teacher Chen. It's completely different from other snow leopards."

"it is good."

Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully, but wasn't too worried.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly again.
Chen Nian then took Xia Qiyue and headed to Ling Bufu's activity area with great interest, intending to make their first attempt at contact.

As Chen Nian squatted expectantly in front of the employee observation room window, flashing his friendliest smile, preparing to lure Ling Bufu over with a gentle call—

What he saw was not a curiously peering head.

It wasn't a lazy figure either.

What he saw was a pair!
Cold and domineering!
The eyes seem to hold the chill of Siberia and the power of millennia-old glaciers!

Those eyes, peering through the thick, transparent glass window, were like two invisible arrows, sharp and even carrying a hint of disdain.

It pierced straight at Chen Nian.

It was Ling who refused to accept it!
It hadn't even fully emerged; it remained hidden in the shadows of the rock ledge, its sharp eyes casting a menacing gaze upon the unexpected human.

Chen Nian's smile froze slightly for a moment.

Uh... this Teacher Ling
It does seem a little different, huh?
(Look me straight in the eye!)
