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

Chapter 51 Gazing at a Million Stars

The afternoon sun lazily filled the room.

After finishing her meal, Chen Nian sank into the soft sofa, playing on her phone and greeting countless team members.

The atmosphere in the group was warm and friendly.

Everyone was very happy to welcome Chen Nian.

One member in particular, named 'Lin Sen', was exceptionally enthusiastic!
He sent a string of emojis, excitedly expressing that he was a loyal viewer of Chen Nian's live stream, especially enjoying her easy-to-understand explanations of cat facts.

To prove he was a true fan, he even posted a photo of his pet.

Chen Nian's eyes lit up when the photo loaded.

Hey!
It turned out to be a Linqing Lion Cat, which he had just explained in his live stream yesterday. It was pure white with fluffy, cloud-like fur.

Their heterochromatic eyes were like different colored gems set in white snow!
Its pure quality and unique charm are truly pleasing to the eye!
While admiring the sight, Chen Nian's professional instincts made him subconsciously take a few more glances, and it was these two glances that made his brows furrow slightly.

This fluffiness seems a bit too much.

Long-haired cats certainly have thick fur.

But aside from the shooting angle, the most common reason for such an exaggerated 'marshmallow' effect is simply that it is overweight.

With a slight thought, Best's Eye silently opened.

【Breed: Linqing Lion Cat (Purebred)】
Weight: XNUM X kg
Physical condition: Obesity, increased pressure on joints, and elevated potential metabolic risks.

Difficulty of raising: Low.

Feeding advice: It is necessary to start a weight loss program for the cat as soon as possible to reduce its weight and prevent more serious obesity complications.

12 kg!

Chen Nian's heart sank slightly.

For the Linqing Lion Cat breed, exceeding 10 kilograms is enough to sound a health alarm, and this one has clearly crossed the warning line.

Its fluffy long fur perfectly concealed its 'plumpness'.

The others in the group were still discussing how cute the cats were, and clearly no one noticed the potential crisis.

Out of concern for the cat's health, Chen Nian thoughtfully sent a reminder in the group, asking Lin Sen to keep an eye on the lion cat's weight and, if convenient, to take it for exercise every day.

After the message was sent, there was a few seconds of silence in the group.

Immediately, Lin Sen sent a shocked emoji: "!!! Teacher Chen is amazing! How could you tell that?!"

“My little snowball was just weighed, exactly 12kg!”

"The vet also said it needs to lose weight!"

"I'm still worried about how to get it to exercise; it's so lazy!"

Others in the group were also amazed by Chen Nian's ability to "diagnose pulses remotely".

After all, the hair is too long to make a judgment.

The ability to accurately determine a cat's weight based solely on a single photo, even through a screen, demonstrates a keen eye and a deep understanding of feline physical characteristics, making everyone even more convinced of the invitation from Wuxianxiaoliang to identify a hidden gem.

Lin Sen immediately added Chen Nian's account privately.

He earnestly asked for specific weight loss plans.

Chen Nian naturally had no reason to refuse, and after thinking about it, she earnestly offered several suggestions.

Just then, an infinitesimal private message arrived from Chen Nian:
"Lin Sen is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He knows the vegetation of the southwestern mountains like the back of his hand. If you are interested in the plants or niche relationships there, you can talk to him more. He will definitely be happy to."

"That's great!"

Chen Nian readily agreed.

Besides Lin Sen, the identities of the other people in the group are also quite extraordinary.

It's a place teeming with hidden talents!

The topics of discussion ranged from the conservation of rare orchids to the symbiotic relationships of insects in tropical rainforests, which broadened Chen Nian's horizons and allowed her to absorb this interdisciplinary knowledge with great eagerness.

Life-long learning!

Moreover, Chen Nian was also very interested in these things.

For a moment, Chen Nianshui was exceptionally enthusiastic about posting in the group!
The other end of the room.

Xia Qiyue rested her chin on her hand, her gaze focused on the video data released yesterday.

Xiao Lan lazily occupied the area in front of her keyboard.

Its furry body rose and fell slightly with its breathing, its half-closed blue eyes were fixed on the moving mouse cursor on the screen, and occasionally it would stretch out its pink claws and slap the 'cunning' light spot with lightning speed, which made Xia Qiyue smile.

This little guy is getting rounder and rounder!
"Ok?"

Xia Qiyue let out a soft exclamation, her gaze drawn to a set of data.

The educational video about the Linqing lion cat that I edited and released yesterday has far exceeded the usual data, with almost twice the number of views as other videos!
"Chen Nian, come and see quickly!" she called out, turning her head.

"The video of that 'Oriental Fairy' went viral yesterday! It seems that everyone is more interested in the cats they can see around them that have their own unique characteristics!"

Chen Nian didn't even look up and just grunted in response.

"As expected."

Local cats carry people's daily memories and emotions, naturally giving them a sense of familiarity and belonging.

Popularizing science about them is about popularizing the stories around us.

Naturally, they're more popular. Chen Nian noticed this during her live stream yesterday; viewers really enjoyed the educational content about local cats.

The discussion in the live chat was also more lively than usual.

An idea suddenly popped into Chen Nian's mind.

"you say."

He put down his phone and looked up at Xia Qiyue.

"How about we create a 'Chinese Domestic Cat Illustrated Guide' series? It would be a systematic popular science book about our native cat breeds and culture."

"Tonight's live stream can also continue to delve deeper into domestic cats."

Inspired by the professional and passionate atmosphere of the Infinitesimal team, Chen Nian felt that this was a good opportunity to deepen her popular science content and establish a unique style.

"I think it works!"

Xia Qiyue nodded vigorously and tapped the unusually bright data on the screen with her finger.

"Data doesn't lie!"

"The lion cat is the best proof; this series definitely has potential!"

At that very moment, as if sensing Chen Nian's eagerness, the system notification, which had been silent for several days, rang out crisply in Chen Nian's mind:
'Ding-ding meow~ A new challenge awaits, meow!'

Chen Nian perked up and immediately meowed in her mind.

The task panel popped up immediately.

500 million views.

Given Chen Nian's rapidly growing fan base and the reach of her videos, this number of views, while challenging, is by no means unattainable.

Moreover, this mission perfectly aligns with his newly conceived series of plans!
Therefore, there is no reason not to accept the call.

'Accepted!'

Chen Nian responded decisively in her heart, her motivation instantly reaching full capacity.

After mentioning in the group chat that he was preparing new content, he excitedly got up, went to his desk, and began to plan the details.

As her secretary, Xia Qiyue naturally wouldn't miss it.

She excitedly leaned over and made the suggestion.

"How about starting with the 'Oriental Fairy' Lion Cat? It's ethereal and sure to catch everyone's eye!"

It's clear that she, like Chen Nian, has also fallen for 'Oriental Fairy'.

Chen Nian smiled mysteriously.

"Since we're going to do it, the opening must be eye-catching. I happen to know a type of cat that's more suitable as the opening guest than a lion cub, and it also suits the tastes of our people better."

"Really? What kind of cat?"

Xia Qiyue's curiosity was piqued, and she unconsciously moved closer.

"Wait a minute." Chen Nian took the cat tablet and tapped and swiped on it for a while, and the image of a cat instantly filled the tablet screen.

"This is."

Xia Qiyue's eyes widened as she looked at the cat.

She never expected Chen Nian to choose this cat!

"Is this appropriate?"

"Of course." Chen Nian looked confidently at the cat quietly crouching on the screen, exuding an aura of mystery!

"Tonight's science lesson will also focus on this!"
