Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

[An unknown adorable pet appears at the exam site; CUHK students reveal the true appearance of the cute tiger cub]

[An adorable tiger pet not listed in the encyclopedia; possibly a mistaken modification?]

[All three examiners gave it full marks, representing an evolutionary answer from a new era of training instructors!]

May the fire be lit.

literal meaning.

That afternoon, Chixia City Radio Station uploaded relevant information to its various platforms, including the Chixia Mobile App, the Chixia Life Channel, and the Animal Transportation section.

Although they are all secondary columns, like corner pieces of tofu.

There is no homepage pop-up or large cover image.

Traffic is average.

But with young people leading the way in gossiping, who doesn't love to gossip?

Especially these young people, from Chung-Du University, a top-ranked university ranked tenth.

The photo of the adorable tiger cub peeking out from the man's arms went viral.

"Huh? Over 50,000 followers? That's easy!"

Zhu Ran bought two crisp watermelons and five catties of fighting chicken to reward Xiao Die Die and Xiao Nao Fu.

I sat down to eat, took out my phone and saw that the account "Zhu Tongxue who doesn't understand evolution" was covered with tiny red dots.

Likes, follows, private messages... all of them are [99+].

The Xuexi video, which was released earlier, only had a few hundred thousand views yesterday, but now it has jumped to millions.

I randomly clicked on the comments section—

"Where's Little Tiger? Dear streamer, why aren't there any videos of Little Tiger?"

"I didn't believe it when I watched the variety show before, but it turns out Dada really is from Zhongdu University. It's even on the news. He's really famous now!"

"First came the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly, then came the Little Cute Tiger. After three years of silence, Senior Zhu has finally unleashed his power, and we academic underachievers are trembling in fear!"

……

Zhu Ran flipped through a few pages, her head throbbing.

A chorus of praise.

Some doubts and questions, barely emerging, vanished without a trace, leaving no trace.

Do you know that the higher you're praised, the harder you fall?

Liang Baizhou, sitting beside him, was also at his wits' end and groaned:

"Master Zhu, netizens all want to see the adorable little tiger, please grant their request, I beg you."

"My high school classmates have been asking about you non-stop all day. If I reply, it'll be incredibly annoying; if I don't, it'll be impolite..."

Zhu Ran tapped his brow.

He is currently in dire need of money.

Xuexi's three-stage reversal materials would cost at least one million.

The first life contract, after turning from gray to normal, costs 500,000.

Xuexi and Jingxiang can't be raised in poverty, can they? Their daily food expenses, spread out over a hundred yuan a day, would easily amount to more than one hundred yuan.

The funding gap is so large that it's a major headache.

How could we possibly ignore such a massive influx of traffic at this time?

But when it comes to strategies for monetizing traffic...

Once you have 1,000 followers, you can activate the short video incentive program and earn around 500 yuan for every million views.

Once you reach 10,000 followers, you can activate the product showcase and live streaming features to sell goods...

Zhu Ran pondered the matter.

Suddenly, he saw the beautiful-faced rooster pacing around with its head held high. He snapped out of his reverie, waved, and called out:

"Dou Ding, come and get some work done."

"Hehe?"

The rooster turned the camera around, always walking with its head held high.

It had just drunk a bowl of liquid battery and was full of energy.

Zhu Ran wiped the countertop.

Activate the network function of the beauty camera app.

The commander announced, "Set the chicken to its designated position and film Shizuka!"

"Giggle."

The order has been issued.

With its zoom lens for beauty mode, aperture adjustment for light intake, and continuous operation of the image sensor, your entire head instantly enters shooting mode.

"Ding-dong!"

Liang Baizhou received a notification on his phone.

Clicking on Douying reveals a projection screen showing my own kitchen.

In the picture, a small tiger with light pink stripes is squatting on a table, intently eating.

The tiny paws clung to the rim of the bowl, the head buried inside, the pink little tongue licking and curling, the chubby cheeks puffing out and contracting with each chew.

Noticing the camera pointed at it, it looked up in confusion, its pink hearts glistening with mist. After confirming there was no threat, it let out a burp and buried its head back down.

"!!!"

"It's it, it's it! The little tiger that's going viral on WeChat Moments!"

"Her pupils are really pink hearts! So cute, I want to take her home!"

"Host, give the little guy some more meat! This isn't enough for him to show off. Don't mistreat this cutie!"

The number of viewers in the live stream surged.

In just one minute, the number of participants exceeded 100.

[I'm Not a Crazy Girl] sent 1 Bunny Balloon

Wait, this ID... Shang Yunying? Another rich woman is showing her support?

Zhu Ran blinked.

【SSon】Send a Heart Helmet*1

【Unending Dream】Gives a cat toy*1

……

The live stream window is constantly displaying special gift effects.

Although a single item might only cost a few dollars, or a dozen dollars.

However, even when combined, the cash withdrawal earnings are still considerable.

"Huh?" (•͈˽•͈)

After Shizuka finished the last piece of chicken, her little belly bulged slightly.

Because its pink paw pads were covered in bits of meat, it raised its paw and licked them back and forth.

After licking its left paw, it switches to its right, occasionally swaying its tail gently, elegant and languid.

What's next?

Zhu Ran was lost in thought.

It's best not to involve him too much, so that he can free his hands and even his eyes.

Zhu Ran had a sudden inspiration and moved an old-fashioned projector from the room to the corner of the kitchen.

Set the input source to your mobile phone.

Search for videos online.

Click to cast.

"Hey little furry guy, perk up your ears, the amazing literacy class is about to begin!"

On the projection screen, a chubby pig wearing an apron appeared, holding a magic wand and pointing it at a grid.

The unusual combination instantly caught the little tiger's attention.

The Broken-winged Frost Butterfly, having finished sucking on the crisp watermelon, was also attracted by the sound and couldn't help but watch.

The scene presented through the lens of the beauty-enhancing chicken is a butterfly and a tiger, one on the left and one on the right, watching the cartoon attentively.

"???"

The comment section was flooded with question marks.

We came here to see the adorable little tiger cubs, so why are we suddenly watching early education cartoons?

"Please help me keep an eye on Little Tiger in the live stream to see if he's slacking off during class."

"Oh, virtual tiger raising? That sounds pretty good!"

A group of netizens who were bored out of their minds left comments saying "good".

Liang Baizhou had been watching the whole thing, and at this moment he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, expressing his sincere admiration.

It satisfies the audience's curiosity without wasting the pets' time by arranging for them to learn to read.

As the host, Master Zhu doesn't need to keep an eye on the live stream and can do his own thing.

Killing three birds with one stone.

"I'm busy now."

Zhu Ran opened the document and began typing using the virtual keyboard.

Professor Tang Jiamu offered to act as his recommender and assist him in submitting his first C-level academic paper to one of the top journals, "Extraordinary Life".

During the days since leaving Grandma Tree Ecological Farm ahead of schedule, Zhu Ran has almost finished her thesis.

All that needs to be done now is layout and retouching.

"Won't the formula be leaked?" Master Liang mouthed the question.

Zhu Ran thought for a moment and gently shook her head.

According to regulations, he must write down at least 70% of the recipe details.

However, by simply removing a few key data points, the unique formula's authority can be guaranteed, while laying a solid foundation for future advancement as an evolutionary scientist.
