Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

At dawn, the sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of white.

"Get up, it's time to go." Shen Yun knocked on everyone's door one by one, waking them all up.

"Doctor, are we leaving so early? It's not even dawn yet. *yawn*" Washio Gaku opened the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked as he walked out of the room while yawning.

"Didn't you want to experience being panda keepers? If we leave later, your experience time will probably be halved," Shen Yun said, glancing at Washio Gaku.

"Half? That won't do!"

Upon hearing this, the group, who had been feeling sleepy, immediately perked up and rushed into the bathroom to wash up.

"Hey, don't push me!"

"Go a little over there."

Watching the hurried figures of everyone leaving, Shen Yun smiled and said, "I'll wait for you outside. Remember to take your luggage."

"Yes~" the group replied vaguely.

Stepping out of the villa, a cool sea breeze greeted me, bringing with it a faint salty smell and a touch of moisture.

The waves surged before my eyes, crashing against the shore and breaking into tiny white sprays.

The city across the bay was shrouded in darkness; the colorful neon lights had long since gone out, leaving only the faint glow of a few streetlights, as if the entire city had fallen asleep, utterly silent.

The gentle sea breeze ruffled the stray hairs on Shen Yun's forehead, making him feel a slight chill.

The April mornings still carried a hint of coolness.

"Hoo~" Tidom put his hands to his mouth and breathed gently. The warm breath formed a wisp of white mist that slowly drifted into the air and finally disappeared completely.

"Seriously, if you're cold, don't wait outside. Don't catch a cold." Shen Yun saw Tidom breathing on his palms, so he unbuttoned his coat and draped it over Tidom's shoulders.

"Eh~ I'm actually fine..." Tidom looked at the coat draped over her shoulders, her pretty face flushed, and she whispered in defense.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing..." Tidom shook his head.

"Your hands are so cold." Shen Yun grasped Tidom's soft hand, feeling the cool, smooth touch in his palm, as if it had no temperature at all.

"Wait for me." With that, Shen Yun turned and walked into the villa.

"Is it cold? Rather, it's Shen Jun's hands that are too hot." Tidom pressed the back of his hand to his face, feeling the lingering warmth, and muttered.

A short while later, Shen Yun returned, carrying two steaming disposable paper cups.

"The water is a bit too hot, you can warm your hands first," Shen Yun said, handing one of the steaming cups of warm water to Tidom.

"Oh." Tidom subconsciously reached out and took the paper cup, holding it in her palm. A warmth passed through the thin paper cup and into her hand. She picked up the cup, took a small sip, and the warmth flowing into her stomach rushed to her heart.

It tastes sweet.

Her fair, jade-like cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, making her look very cute.

Shen Yun looked at Tidom, who was holding a paper cup and wearing a coat. The gentle sea breeze made her shoulder-length blonde hair fly wildly, giving her the feeling of a pure and innocent girl from a Japanese drama.

Tidom felt the sea breeze blowing and couldn't help but tighten the coat he was wearing. Then he picked up the paper cup, took a sip of the warm water, and turned to look at Shen Yun, who was only wearing a thin shirt, holding the paper cup and drinking warm water. He asked with concern, "Shen Yun, aren't you cold? You should put your coat on."

"I'm fine," Shen Yun shrugged, looking at Tidom, and asked with a smile, "Tidom, how are you feeling now? You must be feeling much warmer, right?"

"Yes, it's definitely warmed up a lot." Tidom nodded, feeling a warm feeling not only in his stomach but also in his body.

"Right? This is a well-known health tip in my hometown," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Hey~ Health and wellness tips? That sounds interesting! Are there any others?"

"Yes, for example, when you're sleeping, you should always cover your belly button so you don't catch a cold."

"Eh~ Do we have to do this? What will we do when it's hot?"

"Of course it has to be covered. No matter how hot the weather is, covering the belly button is the last stubbornness of the Chinese people."

"Would Shen Jun do that too?"

"Of course."

As they were chatting and laughing, footsteps suddenly came from inside the villa. Tidom was startled and quickly took off his coat, which he then tossed to Shen Yun.

Lion walked out of the villa with his black backpack on his back and an excited look on his face.

"Oh, why is Tidom's face so red? Ah! I know, Tidom must be really looking forward to meeting the panda too, right?" Lion Walk said excitedly when he saw Tidom's slightly flushed cheeks.

"Isn't this normal? No one in the world can resist a giant panda." Washio Gaku, pulling a suitcase, also came out, put his arm around Shishizou's shoulder, and laughed.

"Hey! You two, stop blocking the doorway!" Taiga Sae, carrying a black shoulder bag, playfully pushed Shishio and Washio Takeshi, who were blocking the doorway, and said coquettishly.

"That's right," Samezu Kai chimed in.

"Okay, okay." The two quickly made way for each other.

"Now that everyone's here, let's set off." Tidom looked at the assembled group, handed the empty paper cup to Shen Yun, and said with a smile.

"oh!"

"GoGoGo!"

"Giant panda, giant panda."

Shen Yun, carrying his coat in one hand, looked at Tidom with a shy expression and couldn't help but smile. He crumpled the two paper cups he was holding into a ball and threw them into the trash can at the villa entrance, then leisurely followed after him.

Soon, Turtle Rock rose from the ground amidst a tremor and flew towards the mainland on the other side of the sea.

Before long, it was already bright, and Turtle Rock had entered the airspace.

Escorted by two fighter jets, Guiyan also entered the air route provided by Shen Yun.

With repeated escorts, Guiyan flew into Sichuan.

Rongcheng.

Guiyan slowly landed near the Panda Breeding Base in Rongcheng. Shen Yun first led the group of Yafeilian to the streets of Rongcheng to eat some local delicacies and fill their stomachs before arriving at the Panda Breeding Base to meet up with the people there.

Because prior notice had been given, the breeders at the breeding base had already received the notification.

The zookeepers at the base didn't have any objections, as long as they obediently followed their orders.

This also means they have a few more helpers, which makes things a little easier for them.

Upon entering the panda breeding base, Shen Yun distributed six portable translators to everyone, saying, "Here, everyone, put one on."

"Doctor, what is this?" Sae Taiga asked, looking at the small device in her hand that resembled a hook-on earphone.

"A portable translator that can translate Chinese into Japanese and Japanese into Chinese in real time, thus avoiding communication barriers. It's a little gadget, I suppose," Shen Yun said casually.

"Huh? Such a powerful thing is just a gadget?" Washio Gaku said with a grumble as he put the portable translator, which resembled a hook-on earphone, on his ear.

"We've arrived." The lead zookeeper, surnamed Tan, led everyone to the changing room and handed them several sets of protective suits, gloves, and masks, saying, "Please put on your protective suits. Panda cubs are very vulnerable. Bacteria that are harmless to humans can infect them, so please take precautions when handling them. These protective suits not only protect the pandas but also protect us zookeepers."

Whether it's a zookeeper or anyone else, anyone who wants to handle panda cubs needs to wear sterile clothing, masks, and gloves.

This is not only to protect the pandas, but also to protect the zookeepers.

After all, a panda is a bear, not a cat.

"It's all in Japanese now, oh my god!" Ushida Sotaro exclaimed in surprise as he heard the Japanese language reaching his ears.

"Black, stop dawdling and hurry up and put it on. We're going inside to see the pandas," Samezu Kai urged.

"Oh, oh, oh." Ushida Sotaro quickly put on his protective suit, gloves, and mask, and then went into the nursery.

"It's almost time to feed the panda cubs, so I'd appreciate it if you could all help prepare the formula," said the zookeeper surnamed Tan, as he took out a can of formula and several bottles.

"oh!"

Under the guidance of the zookeeper surnamed Tan, everyone quickly prepared the milk powder.

"The milk temperature is just right, not bad, young man," said the zookeeper surnamed Tan, patting the lion on the shoulder with a smile.

"That's too kind of you, because I'm a veterinarian," Lion said with a laugh.

"Oh, so you're a veterinarian. No wonder." The zookeeper, surnamed Tan, nodded and went to check the milk powder that the others had prepared.

"Your drink is a bit too hot; it'll burn your mouth."

"This temperature is too cold; the baby might not want to drink it."

However, these are minor issues that can be easily resolved with a little effort.

Then, the zookeeper surnamed Tan took a jug of milk and some fruit and led everyone into the panda's enclosure.

"Wow, pandas! And panda cubs!" Sae Taiga exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the pandas and cubs in the enclosure.

"Ah~ Is this a panda? It's so cute!" Tidom's eyes lit up when he saw the panda in the enclosure.

Upon hearing the voices of Taiga Sae and Tidom, the panda mother, who had been sleeping in her enclosure, quickly got up, shook her head, and ran back to pick up the panda cub she had left on the ground. Then she sat down against the corner of the wall.

"Huh? Did we scare the panda?" Lion asked, looking at the panda mother who suddenly picked up her cub.

"No, I think it simply wants to use its offspring to trade for food," Shen Yun said.

"Huh? Really?" Ushida Sotaro exclaimed in surprise.

"Pretending again!" The zookeeper, surnamed Tan, sighed helplessly as he watched the panda mother pretending to hold her cub. He poured milk into an iron basin and pushed it into the enclosure.

Seeing the delicious food, the panda mother abandoned her cub and quickly ran to the iron basin, where she began to eat heartily.

Seeing this, the zookeeper surnamed Tan also took the opportunity to pick up the panda cub that had fallen to the ground.

The panda mother glanced up, then continued eating without a care.

"Eh~" Lion also showed surprise.

"How interesting!" Taiga Sae laughed.

"Well, captive-bred pandas are quite clever."

Then, everyone saw the zookeeper use an apple or a bowl of milk to pull the panda cub, which was less than six months old, out of its enclosure.

Incidentally, everyone also got to experience what it's like to feed a panda.

"Smack, smack." The panda took a bite of the bamboo shoot skin, biting into the crisp and tender part, and smack-smack as it ate the bamboo shoot.

"In this world, perhaps only pandas can smack their lips while eating without being annoying," Washio Takeru said with a silly grin as he watched the panda smacking its lips as it ate the crisp bamboo shoots.

"Yes, it tastes delicious." Lion said, nodding and smiling as he rested his hands on his knees.

Watching the panda devour its food, Niu Da Cao Taro swallowed hard, rubbed his stomach, and said, "I'm getting hungry just watching. How about we go eat bamboo shoots for lunch?"

"Black, didn't we just have breakfast?" Samezu Kai asked in surprise.

"Because the panda is eating so deliciously," Niu Da Cao Taro said with a silly grin, scratching his head.

"It's bamboo shoot season now, let's go eat bamboo shoots for lunch."

"OK!"

The group whispered among themselves, but the panda's smacking sound suddenly disappeared.

Everyone stopped their discussion and looked over in confusion.

The panda put down the bamboo shoot it was eating halfway through, shook its head, and went to the corner of its enclosure. It then lifted its hind legs and pulled out clumps of green bamboo shoots.

"oh!"

"Take a picture quickly! Take a picture quickly!"

Taking photos was permitted, as long as the flash is not used, as it would scare the pandas.

After bringing all the panda cubs from their enclosures back to the nursery, the zookeeper surnamed Tan taught everyone how to use wet wipes to simulate a panda mother licking her cubs and encourage them to defecate.

After defecating, the restless panda cub was put back into its den to be weighed.

After recording the weight, they measured other data such as body length.

After the tests, it was time to feed the panda cubs.

"Can we really hold her and breastfeed her?" Washio Takeshi asked with delight, looking at the black and white dumpling that looked like a puppy in the nursery.

"Yes, these are all cubs that are over six months old. Just be careful."

Panda cubs are weaned from their mothers after six months and are then hand-fed.

Unless they are twins, pandas under six months old are usually fed by their mothers.

Upon hearing this, everyone carefully held the panda cubs in their arms and fed them with milk bottles.

"Yoshi yoshi, good boy, good boy." Tidom held a panda cub in one arm and fed it with a bottle in the other, radiating maternal glow.

Clearly, Tidom was also captivated by the panda's adorable appearance.

"Hurry up and drink your milk so you can grow up quickly," Niu Da Cao Taro said affectionately, teasing the panda cub.

"I have no regrets in my life." Lion looked down at the panda cub in his arms, who was suckling and whimpering, and said with a satisfied expression.

"The panda cubs are so cute! I wish I could be a panda keeper for the rest of my life!" Taiga Sae stroked the panda cub's fur, looking completely content.

"Yes," Samezu Kai agreed.

Shen Yun rested his hands on the windowsill of the nursery, watching the people taking care of the panda cubs, and a smile appeared on his face.

Soon, the day was spent experiencing the zookeeper's activities.

As they were leaving, everyone was reluctant to go, turning back to look at the panda breeding base again and again.

"I finally became friends with the panda, and now we have to part ways..." the lion said dejectedly.

In the afternoon, Lion used his superpowers to calm the panda, who had become somewhat irritable due to entering estrus, and successfully enabled the staff to artificially inseminate her.

In addition, this guy cheated with his superpowers, making all the little balls pounce on him. The lion, surrounded by pandas, was grinning from ear to ear.

"The day really went by so fast."

"yes."

"Well, once Orgu is completely wiped out, there'll be plenty of time to come back. I've booked a hotel; I'll go back and rest for the night, and tomorrow we'll head into the mountains to find the Fang Panda," Shen Yun said.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Since we can't stay, let's try our best to find the Fang Panda.

After all, a Fang Panda is still a panda! (End of Chapter)
