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

Chapter 50 An Invitation from an Idol!
Xia Qiyue pulled Chen Nian to the computer.

The screen above shows Chen Nian's backstage message history. Most of the acquisition news has disappeared by this time, leaving only some fan comments.

One of them was pinned to the top by Xia Qiyue.

"Hello, esteemed host, I am Wuxian Xiaoliang. In one month, I will lead my team on a wilderness adventure to film a documentary."

After watching all your live stream replays, I am deeply impressed by your profound understanding of felines, your accurate judgment, and your warm and engaging way of popularizing science.

I cordially invite you to join our journey and become an indispensable member of our team.

If you are interested, please add my green bubble ID:

Infinitesimals?!
Chen Nian's gaze froze on the familiar ID, and her breath seemed to quicken for a moment.

We are both members of the science popularization community.

His name, Infinitesimal, is widely known!
The other party has tens of millions of followers across the internet and possesses extensive knowledge of animals and plants. In particular, the "Identifying Popular Online Creatures" video series that the other party posted was a work that Chen Nian watched repeatedly during her university years!

Even Chen Nian's journey into popularizing cat knowledge has had a negligible impact.

Calling him an idol wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Chen Nian never expected that the infinitesimal would actually extend an invitation to him.

Seeing Chen Nian's excited expression, Xia Qiyue sincerely praised her.

"Chen Nian, you're really famous now!"

The fact that a top-tier science blogger would take the initiative to invite Chen Nian is enough to show that her professional knowledge about felines has been recognized by the blogger.

This is a tremendous encouragement for Chen Nian herself!

He feels fine now.

very good!
"Are you going?" Xia Qiyue asked.

“If you go, it will be of great benefit to your live stream.”

"Of course I want to go!"

Chen Nian snapped out of her daze and made a resolute decision.

He originally planned to start outdoor live streaming after gaining over 100,000 followers, and he had already been working hard to train for it.

Now that such a great opportunity is right in front of him, how could he possibly miss it!

"Hehe, I knew you would participate."

"Here you go." Xia Qiyue smiled, a hint of pride in her eyes, and handed over her phone: "I've already added it for you."

"Let's go chat~"

"You're such a good wife!" Chen Nian couldn't help but joke when she saw how sensible Xia Qiyue was.

Then he excitedly picked up his phone and greeted Infinite Light.

Xia Qiyue's ears turned red.

"Who's going to be your good wife!" After muttering a few words, she happily returned to her computer desk to work on the video.

Infinitesimals are highly efficient.

As soon as Chen Nian sent her greeting message, the other party immediately sent a voice message.

Hello, Chen Nian.

His voice was deep and resonant, neither too loud nor too soft, and very approachable.

It also has a slight BJ accent.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian immediately laughed: "Yes! That's exactly the same feeling as when I watched your video."

"Oh ho, so you're one of my fans?"

Even infinitesimals are enjoyable.

The two felt an instant connection, as if they had known each other for a long time.

We talked about the original intention of popularizing science, the current state of the industry, and the fun of exploring the wild.

More than an hour passed quietly in relaxed and pleasant conversation.

Sunlight moved slowly across the studio floor, and Little Blue on the windowsill lazily rolled over, emitting a contented snoring sound.

Although Xia Qiyue had her back to them, a quiet smile remained on her lips. Occasionally, her fingers would pause slightly as she typed on the keyboard, as if trying to capture those passionate fragments of conversation.

Their relationship evolved from a fan meeting to friendship.

When Chen Nian reiterated her desire to participate in the documentary, Infinite Small's tone became serious.
"Okay! Let me test you first, otherwise when you come, the rest of the team will think I spoil my fans so much that I've brought them here on vacation."

"Haha, I'm a fan of yours."

After the joke, Chen Nian's expression turned serious.

"You set the questions, and I'll do my best."

Xia Qiyue had somehow gotten close to the sofa and was openly eavesdropping with Xiao Lan.

"Okay, listen carefully."

The infinitesimal sound was described clearly and steadily:
"Our infrared cameras in the southwestern mountains captured images of a medium to large feline, which is close to the size of a leopard. Its fur is brownish-yellow with dark spots, and its tail is thick, long, and ringed."

"The local villagers insist it's a 'local leopard.'" "So, if you were to analyze it, what kind of feline is it most likely?"

What are the key pieces of evidence?

Which similar species need to be excluded?

"And what special circumstances would you expect if it appeared at an altitude and in a vegetation zone that you hadn't anticipated at all?"

After the question was posed, there was a brief silence on the other end of the voice call.

His team doesn't need a 'walking feline encyclopedia'.

Rather, it is a partner who can quickly synthesize information, make accurate judgments, have clear thinking, possess on-site adaptability, and have a certain level of logical reasoning ability.

This question is a touchstone tailor-made for this purpose.

"You can take your time to think about it, there's no rush, but it must be accurate."

The infinitesimal quantity served as a reminder.

He still thought highly of Chen Nian and was willing to give her some time to think.

But Chen Nian's reaction was much faster than he had imagined!
Almost as soon as his question was asked, Chen Nian already had the answer in mind. After carefully considering her words, Chen Nian spoke directly.

"It's a clouded leopard."

He spoke slowly, but with an undeniable confidence, and began to explain clearly and logically:
"First of all, common medium to large cats in the mountainous areas of southwestern my country include the leopard, clouded leopard, Asian golden cat, clouded leopard, and lynx."

"The leopard has no ring on its tail, the Asian golden cat also has a short tail without a ring, the lynx's coat color and ecological niche are incompatible, and the clouded cat is too small."

"Only clouded leopards have the thick, long, ringed tail you described."

"At the same time, the clouded leopard's fur is also brownish-yellow with dark spots."

"As for its appearance at an altitude where it shouldn't be, I think there are three possibilities: First, its habitat has been destroyed, forcing it to migrate north; second, this clouded leopard escaped or was released by humans; third, there's something wrong with your camera!"

His analysis was like peeling back layers of an onion, logically rigorous, and at the same time, it carried the clear expression that a popular science communicator should have.

Xia Qiyue, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

She was still trying to recall what felines lived in the southwestern mountains, and Chen Nian had already figured out the answer?!

That's an incredibly fast reaction!

The response from the other end of the voice call was even more direct.

"Huh—!"

An undisguised exclamation burst from the receiver, filled with surprise and admiration.

"Excellent! Chen Nian, that was a brilliant answer!"

It's worth noting that the feline expert whom Infinite Quantity knew back then also took a full five minutes to consider the same question before confirming the answer.

And what about Chen Nian?

It shouldn't have been more than a minute!

Chen Nian not only identified the correct answer within half a minute, but also expressed it very clearly.

And they immediately throw out the answer.

This perfectly matches his style of infinitesimals.

Fast, accurate and ruthless!

This is the evaluation of Chen Nian's answer by the infinitesimal.

He laughed loudly, "Alright! Enough said! Chen Nian, on behalf of the seven members of the team, I formally welcome you to the team!"

"With you here, we're sure to gain even more from this trip to Southwest China!"

"One last test: can you guess where we're going this time?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian's lips curled into a knowing smile. He gazed out the window, as if he could already see that mysterious and vibrant land, and softly but firmly uttered the name:

"It's Sichuan Xinlong, right?"

Upon hearing this answer, Infinitely Small's laughter became even more hearty!

He immediately added Chen Nian to a group chat.

I really look forward to meeting you in person!

The audio connection was lost.

After holding back for a while, Xia Qiyue pounced over like a curious kitten, grabbing Chen Nian's arm and asking with bright eyes, "Wait, wait, wait!"

"Why Sichuan Xinlong? How did you guess?"

She could barely answer the previous questions after thinking about them, but she couldn't understand how Chen Nian knew that the other party was going to Xinlong, Sichuan.

“Because of that place.” Chen Nian’s eyes shone with longing.

"It's a cat's paradise!"
