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

Chapter 92 Mysterious Cat Shadow
Nine in the morning.

Chen Nian's voice rang out in the live broadcast room right on time.

Good morning, my dear cat lovers!

Thanks to the advance announcement of the live stream, fans who had been waiting for a long time flooded into the live stream room the moment it started!
When that familiar and handsome face appeared clearly on the screen, countless viewers were instantly moved to tears.

Good morning, Teacher Chen!

"Waaaaah! The missing person has finally returned! We've finally seen someone alive!"

"Do you know what I've been through these past two days?! Ah?! I've worn out the replays by now! I finally managed to catch one!"

"Wow, for the first time, I broke free from the 'sealed-in-bed' to be able to catch Brother Nian's live stream on time!"

"Front row! Sunflower seeds, drinks, and bottled water are ready!"

Seeing the screen filled with enthusiastic greetings, Chen Nian felt very warm.

He laughed and said, "It's my fault! My schedule was too tight the past few days, and I was too capricious with the live stream time. I'm sorry that many of my cat lovers missed it! But I promise that starting today, I will definitely start the live stream on time as announced, if nothing unexpected happens."

"Oh no, oh no, I knew something bad was going to happen when I heard that last sentence."

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Teacher Chen!"

"Break free from the poison! Protect our Nian-ge!"

The live chat instantly turned into a 'flag-protecting' scene.

Chen Nian even caught a fleeting glimpse of an ID among them—Haina Baichuan.

Is this big boss also slacking off?
Little did they know, it wasn't just Hai Na Bai Chuan; right now, countless cat lovers trapped in cubicles or concrete jungles were following Chen Nian's lens with longing, hoping to catch a glimpse of the unreachable secret realm of western Sichuan through this virtual window!
Countless hearts are filled with excitement for this upcoming exploration!
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Nian adjusted the camera lens in her hand, slightly shaking it.

When the image stabilized again, what came into view was no longer his face, but a breathtaking and magnificent scene!

White wisps of clouds hung low, seemingly within reach, contrasting against the deep, boundless blue sky.

The camera pans down, and the rushing Yalong River roars through the deep, steep canyons like a giant emerald dragon!
The two sides are steep, reddish-brown cliffs, sheer and towering, covered with drought-resistant shrubs and meadows that are green in early summer. Wildflowers, like scattered stars, adorn the green carpet.

The air in the humid valley is filled with the roar of the rushing river, the clear chirping of unknown birds, and the fragrance of soil and grass. Everything comes rushing to you through the screen!

Chen Nian's calm and magnetic voice rang out at the opportune moment:

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Nian."

"At this moment, I am standing deep in the Yalong River Valley near Xinlong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province!"

"This is the official starting point for this documentary."

"Starting today, I will be joining Teacher Wuxianxiaoliang's team to explore upstream along this mighty river that has nurtured countless lives. Throughout the journey, I will do my best to keep the broadcast live, immersing everyone in the magnificence and vitality of this mysterious land! Welcome to join me on this journey!"

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with '111's.

Under high-definition lenses, every frame of the Yalong River Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful.

With a stabilizer in hand, Chen Nian's footage remained rock-solid even while walking on a rugged uphill path.

He manipulated the camera to perform a slow 360-degree rotation, fully showcasing the beautiful scenery in the frame, much to the delight of the audience!

When the camera zoomed in again, a comment caught Chen Nian's attention:
"Teacher Chen! Look at the pile of rubble to the left! That flower! It's so beautiful with its blue-purple gradient! What's its name?"

Chen Nian looked in the direction Chen Nian was told, and her gaze was instantly drawn to it.

Amidst a pile of gray-brown jagged pebbles, a graceful flower proudly blooms!

The petals display a dreamlike gradient of colors.

The outer layer is a deep and tranquil sapphire blue, gradually transitioning inwards to a mysterious and noble lavender purple, making it exceptionally beautiful and eye-catching amidst the desolate pile of stones.

She resembles a celestial being from the highlands, living in seclusion!

"Sorry, I don't recognize this flower either," Chen Nian said frankly. "But I know someone who does. Wait a minute."

He looked up and searched, quickly spotting Lin Sen's figure.

"Old Lin! Come here and help me identify this flower!"

At this point, the team had dispersed and was moving uphill along the gentle slope of the valley, trying not to miss any place that could be used as material.

Upon hearing Chen Nian's call, Gu Ying and Lin Sen immediately put down their work and hurried over.

Before they even got close, their eyes were immediately drawn to that bright blue-purple color.

"Wow!" Lin Sen's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Teacher Chen, you're really lucky! You've just entered the valley and you've already bumped into the 'Highland Flower Goddess'! What a great start!"

Gu Ying's eyes widened in amazement as she exclaimed, "So beautiful! The color is so pure!"

She immediately waved to Xia Qiyue behind Chen Nian: "Qiyue, quick! Bring your macro lens over here, this footage is amazing!"

"okay!"

Xia Qiyue deftly took out her equipment and, working in perfect harmony with Gu Ying, began searching for the best angle to photograph this precious 'model'.

As filming began, Chen Nian and Lin Sen tacitly stepped back a few paces, leaving space for the professionals.

Then Chen Nian pointed the camera at Lin Sen.

He asked, "What kind of flower is this?"

Lin Sen didn't keep anyone in suspense. After greeting the camera, he smiled and introduced, "The scientific name of this flower is: Meconopsis floridae."

"It is an annual herb belonging to the poppy family and the Meconopsis genus."

"Don't let its delicate beauty fool you; it's incredibly resilient and a typical alpine flower." "It enjoys a prestigious international reputation, hailed by European horticulturists and plant enthusiasts as a 'world-famous flower' and the 'Oriental Sapphire.' Even our neighbor Bhutan has designated its close relative, the 'Meconopsis blue-flowered', as its national flower!"

"Because it can bloom proudly near the snow line, it also has a poetic name—"

"The blue lotus closest to heaven!"

"Of course, many people prefer to call it 'Highland Flower Goddess'!"

Upon hearing this, the live chat exploded with activity:
"Poppy?! Σ(っ°Д°;)っcalled the police!"

"Wait! Poppy?! Is it the poppy I'm thinking of?! Is this flower poisonous?!"

"Teacher Chen, quickly take a couple of puffs for us to see the effect! (Just kidding!)"

Seeing this comment, Chen Nian's lips twitched: "I think you're really serious about torture!"

Lin Sen was also amused by this comment and burst into laughter.

He quickly waved his hand and explained, "Although it belongs to the poppy family, it is completely different from its 'sister' poppy. It is non-toxic and harmless! Don't get the wrong idea!"

At this moment, Gu Ying and Xia Qiyue had efficiently completed the filming of footage of the beautiful Meconopsis.

Gu Ying's walkie-talkie immediately rang again.

The other team members seemed to have found a new filming target.

She nodded to Chen Nian, indicating that everything was okay here, and then hurriedly went to the next place, while Xia Qiyue stood there, somewhat reluctant to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Nian gestured for her to go with them.

"Go ahead, learn more from Teacher Gu." Chen Nian smiled at Xia Qiyue, "My live stream is running smoothly, don't worry!"

"it is good!"

So Xia Qiyue followed Gu Ying.

She wanted to learn more from her teacher so that she could help Chen Nian with filming in the future.

After the two left, Chen Nian and Lin Sen squatted back down next to the 'Highland Flower Goddess' to admire its beauty up close.

"It's truly stunning!"

Seeing Chen Nian's appreciation, Lin Sen raised an eyebrow smugly:
"This is just the appetizer, Teacher Chen!"

"If we're incredibly lucky and manage to encounter red hibiscus, Jiuzhi, and hairy-petaled green meconopsis later in the trip, that would be a true visual feast!"

"Really?" Chen Nian's eyes lit up instantly: "Then I can't wait!"

"Fellow cat lovers, quickly type 'Looking forward' in the chat!!"

The two traveled together for the rest of the trip, with Lin Sen becoming Chen Nian's 'personal plant guide'.

Pointing out the landscape along the way, identifying various unique alpine plants.

There are almost no plants that Lin Sen doesn't recognize.

Occasionally, he would be called upon by Infinite Small to identify some rare species, and Chen Nian was happy to join in and learn more about them.

For example, it has huge, thick bracts arranged in a rosette shape, resembling the flowers of alien plants.

It's actually called bract-leaved rhubarb.

It is a signature species of alpine meadows.

Chen Nian's camera faithfully recorded this knowledge, much to the delight of the viewers in the live stream.

For Chen Nian, every inch of this plateau valley was full of novelty. Everywhere she looked, there were flowers and plants she couldn't name, strange rocks, and insects she had never seen before.

Often at this point, the team will have an expert come out to provide scientific explanations.

The process of going from unfamiliar to gradually familiar was like unlocking a series of natural codes, which fascinated Chen Nian and made her enjoy it immensely!

The team spent the entire day operating in the area surrounding the valley.

We did not venture deep into the core area where felines might frequently appear, and naturally we did not encounter any wild felines.

As evening fell, the team returned to their temporary camp.

Chen Nian rubbed her shoulders, which were a little sore from holding the equipment for a long time, and gave the camera a warm smile: "Okay everyone!"

"That's all for today's live stream. Thank you so much for your company and support throughout the day! Don't be discouraged if you didn't see any wild cats. We'll officially enter the wild cat habitat tomorrow, so trust me, there are surprises waiting for us! Bye-bye!"

The live broadcast ends.

Although no feline traces were spotted today, Chen Nian was not disappointed at all.

After all, wild cats live in areas rarely visited by humans.

This is only the outer area.

It's perfectly normal not to encounter it.

However, just as Chen Nian was thinking this, the infrared camera set up in the wild gave him a big surprise early the next morning!

"Teacher Chen, come quickly!"

"The infrared camera seems to have captured a cat!"

(Let's find the cat together~)
