People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

A white polar bear walked carefully and steadily towards the shore, its feet crunching on the snow that had just fallen and covered the ground.

Having been hungry all night, it was preparing to go to the shore to catch some fish for breakfast, and also to eat lunch, dinner, and midnight snack. It would go back whenever it was full, hoping to lie comfortably for the whole day after finishing its meal.

As the top predator in the Arctic biosphere with no natural enemies, polar bears live such a comfortable life... just kidding.

This was all forced upon us.

Although polar bears have virtually no natural predators in the Arctic and almost no creatures that could threaten their lives, the melting of Arctic icebergs due to the greenhouse effect has shrunk their habitat, resulting in a gradual decrease in the food they can obtain.

Although polar bears are invincible in their territory, even the most invincible bear needs to eat to survive. In fact, their invincibility comes at a price: they need even more food to survive.

Because there isn't enough food, they can only conserve it by reducing their activity levels in order to survive.

However, even with their efforts to conserve energy, the number of polar bears is still declining rapidly.

Over the past four decades, the global polar bear population has decreased by nearly 50%, with some regions experiencing a decline of over 90%.

Although most bears are "lazy and unwilling to work", polar bears don't like to move not because they are lazy, but because they really don't have the extra energy to "work".

As the polar bear walked, it kept a watchful eye on its surroundings. It wasn't that it was worried that Lao Liu was hiding in the snow or behind the iceberg, ready to launch a sneak attack.

It has been said that polar bears are invincible in the Arctic. They are not afraid of any creature. The only things that can defeat them are nature, another polar bear, and some kind of foreign "terrifying upright ape" that is not native to the Arctic!

However, given the polar bear's enormous size, it simply cannot hide and cannot be the sixth oldest.

Moreover, polar bears mostly fight over either mates or food.

Clearly, this polar bear currently has no mate and no food to fight over.

Therefore, it is not guarding against its own kind, but against nature.

For example, ice holes and crevices hidden under the snow.

And to guard against the terrifying upright apes...

Therefore, it moves very carefully and slowly, and of course, its slow movements are also for energy conservation.

Soon, the slow-moving polar bear finally reached the edge of Iceland and prepared to dive into the icy seawater to begin its hunt for the day.

At this moment, several dozen meters away from the polar bear, under a patch of snow.

A figure wearing a snow camouflage coat is lying on the snow covered with an aluminum insulation pad, covered with a layer of fluffy snow, blending into nature.

This person is Bai Lan, who is looking for a polar bear to fight.

And this polar bear, which was about to begin its hunt, was Bai Lan's target.

Yes, "this time"!

This polar bear was not the first target Bai Lan had approached.

Before this, Bai Lan had already fought with several polar bears.

On June 4, the day after leaving school, Bai Lan had already arrived in the Arctic, in the area where polar bears are most frequently seen.

After arriving in the Arctic, Bai Lan began searching for various traces of polar bears.

Bai Lan was lucky; he found a polar bear den in less than a day, which became his first target.

Afterwards, Bai Lan immediately went to the door and called out the polar bear that was sleeping. Disturbed from its sleep, the polar bear fiercely crawled out of the blood hole and fought with Bai Lan.

As a result, Bai Lan won.

Although Bai Lan wanted to challenge the polar bears, she didn't want to actually hurt them.

Therefore, after activating [Super Armor], Bai Lan easily dodged the polar bear's attacks with her superhuman speed. Then, she used grappling and jujitsu techniques to throw the polar bear to the ground time and time again, and tried to subdue it with joint locks after it fell.

Because it was in the snow, and the polar bear's fur was very thick, this fighting method would only quickly deplete its stamina and would not cause any real damage that would affect its future hunting ability.

The polar bear fell to the ground time and time again, and was repeatedly suppressed by Bai Lan, only to break free of the suppression.

Finally, after falling again and being pinned to the ground by Bai Lan's reverse joint lock, this time it couldn't break free and never got up again...

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't killed by Bai Lan's fall or beating. It was just tired, too tired to get up.

To be precise, I was hungry.

Because he was so hungry, he lost his strength and collapsed so easily that he could no longer get up.

They won the battle easily.

However, Bai Lan was not satisfied with this.

Bai Lan felt that this was not the polar bear he wanted to fight.

Even if you win a fight against a polar bear like that, it won't satisfy your goal.

He wants to challenge a real polar bear, a polar bear that is well-fed and in peak condition.

To achieve this goal, Bai Lan continued to search for traces of polar bears in the days that followed.

Of course, Bai Lan didn't abandon the polar bear that had collapsed from exhaustion after fighting with him.

After all, that polar bear had served as Bai Lan's sparring partner, which had taken a toll on her.

In the wilderness, physical strength is extremely precious; physical strength is life!

Bai Lan used the snow hare and sea fish she had caught on the way here, which she had prepared in advance, to precisely feed the polar bear with her superb throwing skills.

Even while searching for other polar bears, Bai Lan would occasionally come over to feed this polar bear, hoping it could recover its health and regain as much fighting strength as possible before Bai Lan returned.

I'll come over and fight it every now and then.

If they ultimately can't find an ideal polar bear, then they'll have to rely on it to satisfy Bai Lan's fighting spirit.

If you have no rivals, create your own!

In the days that followed, Bai Lan searched for stronger polar bears that were more suitable for the challenge, while also hunting to feed the weak and powerless polar bears.

Well, that's right.

Polar bears...

On his journey to find a more suitable polar bear, Bai Lan defeated several more polar bears that did not meet the criteria and were considered too weak by him.

Then, these defeated polar bears all became Bai Lan's feeding targets.

As for the Arctic Treaty's prohibition against feeding wild animals in the Arctic, etc.

In Bai Lan's opinion, this was hardly "feeding" at all.

This is clearly a "transaction," okay?

These polar bears served as sparring partners for Bai Lan, and they worked very hard.

They're all exhausted, okay?

We must respect the fruits of their labor!

Polar bears also have the right to be paid for their labor!

Okay, that was all a joke.

The truth is, the Arctic Treaty prohibits feeding polar bears because:

One reason is to prevent hunting and killing.

Once animals become accustomed to being fed by humans, poachers can easily poison them with their food, killing them and then harvesting their valuable fur and skeletons.

Secondly, it is for the protection of humankind.

Wild animals are dangerous; just appearing in front of them is extremely dangerous, let alone getting close enough to feed them.

Third, avoid changing your lifestyle.

Once animals get used to being fed and to this easy lifestyle, they can easily become degenerate and quickly lose their ability to survive normally in the wild.

However, none of the above three situations will occur with Bai Lan.

Let's start with the point about "protecting humanity".

Clearly, between Bai Lan and the polar bears she defeated, it is not Bai Lan who needs protection.

Then there are the two points: "eliminating hunting and killing" and "changing lifestyles".

To put it bluntly, both of these situations arise because polar bears find food too easily obtained.

Because food comes too easily, driven by their lazy and animalistic nature, they readily accept food from humans, leading to poisoning or loss of their ability to survive.

But what if Bai Lan's feeding makes them feel that it is "hard-won" and even more difficult than hunting for themselves?

To achieve this goal, Bai Lan would feed it and also ask it to be her sparring partner.

Although Bai Lan is not harming it, the process is still somewhat painful.

How painful was it?

To put it simply, when Bai Lan offered to feed the polar bears, their instinctive reaction upon seeing the food wasn't to rush over excitedly, but rather to turn and walk away...

In this situation, Bai Lan would catch up with him and give him a good beating until he was exhausted. Only after confirming that he was too tired to get up again would Bai Lan leave him a generous "reward" after she had her fun.

Well, you get beaten up first, then you get your reward.

In fact, Bai Lan doesn't always have to catch up with it.

Bai Lan will give up quickly if the polar bear shows enough effort in its escape.

Besides that, I also thought of other ways to play.

Bai Lan doesn't always feed polar bears in front of them. Sometimes, she sets up food like a trap, placing it near the polar bear's den or on a path it frequently travels within its range, letting the polar bear come and "collect" it, while Bai Lan hides to the side and waits.

Once the polar bear is lured out, Bai Lan will appear instantly and "chase" the polar bear that couldn't resist the temptation and was attracted by the bait.

Therefore, under Bai Lan's guidance, these polar bears should not have developed a habit of liking to be fed by humans.

Conversely, if they see humans offering them food again in the future, or if they see suspicious food on the roadside, they will probably choose to turn around and run away.

In this way, both the polar bears being fed and the humans who want to feed them are safe.

We all have a bright future!

The polar bear that Bai Lan is currently staking out is one of the "students" that Bai Lan is responsible for training!

Today is June 9th, which is also the 7th day since Bai Lan left school.

Therefore, this will be the last training session that Bai Lan has arranged for the polar bears.

After completing this training, Bai Lan will prepare to leave and embark on her journey back to school.
