The crowd was stunned, watching with their own eyes as Shen Miao pulled several ginseng roots from the Siberian tiger’s mouth and held them up for a close-up.
“Most of the ginseng here is one or two years old, but there are also five and ten-year-old ones. Occasionally, I even find hundred-year-old wild ginseng. I’ll put up the links for each, and you guys can just click to buy!
See, you believe me now, right? We pandas never lie!”
“Awoo! We tigers never lie either!”
Xiaoguai wagged his tail frantically to suck up to her. Shen Miao rubbed Xiaoguai’s large, furry head with satisfaction.
“Good job. Once the ginseng sells, I’ll buy you some chicken to eat.”
“Awoo, no! Tiger wants roast duck!”
“Stop dreaming! Do you know how expensive roast duck is?”
A single roast duck cost over a hundred yuan, which was enough to make the currently impoverished panda’s heart ache.
She immediately slapped the Siberian tiger’s head with a paw, leaving Xiaoguai’s brain rattling.
“Do you have any idea how much you eat every day? And you still want roast duck? You eat and eat and eat so much—no roast duck for you! Go over there and reflect on your life!”
The tiger, thoroughly PUA-ed by Shen Miao for eating too much, dejectedly walked over to a tree. With his head and tail drooping, he began to question his very existence as a tiger. Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream were also questioning their own reality.
【??? Wait, why does this tiger look a bit like a dog?】
【I suspect it’s a Labrador controlled by AI. Look at that tail wagging; that’s a Lab move if I ever saw one!】
【*Gasp!* Is AI technology already this advanced nowadays? Regardless, looking at it this way, the ginseng must be genuine, wild, and freshly dug!】
【The prices the streamer is offering don’t look too expensive. I’ll buy one to try!】
【Anti-Fraud Fighter: Hey, don’t be fooled by the streamer! What she’s digging now might not be the same thing she ships to you later. Besides, can you guarantee she didn’t bury those herself before digging them up? Don’t be tricked by streamers who act out scripts!】
As soon as this “Anti-Fraud Fighter” spoke, the viewers who had been shouting about buying ginseng suddenly went silent.
After working hard for half the day without a single sale, Shen Miao the panda suddenly got anxious. She let out a loud roar.
If an Iron-Eating Beast doesn’t show its power, you’ll think I’m just a fluffball!
“You, Anti-Fraud Fighter, you’re slandering and libeling us pandas! If you’ve got the guts, go live! Don’t be a coward hiding behind a screen!”
【I’ll go live if I want to; do you think I’m actually afraid of you? Streamer, didn’t you say you can understand animal language and solve animal problems? If you can solve my problem, I’ll apologize immediately and tip you a thousand Mantou!】
This “Anti-Fraud Fighter” was a blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers. Her daily routine involved exposing counterfeit and inferior goods from merchants and livestreamers, so she was somewhat famous. Immediately, many people chimed in to support her.
【Do you dare to do it?】
“I dare! Why wouldn’t I?”
Seeing Shen Miao nod, the Anti-Fraud Fighter immediately requested a video link.
Shen Miao was momentarily stunned when she saw the person on the other end. It turned out the Anti-Fraud Fighter was actually a young lady with large eyes, currently wearing a mask.
The Anti-Fraud Fighter spoke bluntly: “I don’t believe you actually understood that cat earlier. If you’re so capable, tell me why my dog is always food-guarding and biting people?”
At that moment, the young lady turned her camera, and Shen Miao saw a black-and-white Border Collie less than a year old on the screen.
【A Border Collie? It shouldn’t be biting people. There are dogs, and then there are Border Collies. How could such an intelligent animal have such a violent temper?】
Shen Miao stared at the Border Collie for a while but didn’t see anything wrong.
“I just chatted with him. I think your Border Collie has a pretty good temper.”
*I knew this streamer was talking nonsense!*
Jia Yurong immediately took out a portion of dog food, placed it in the dog’s bowl, and began a live demonstration.
“Don’t be fooled by Marshal’s good temper right now. As soon as he starts eating, no one can get near him. The moment you approach, he turns vicious. If you touch him, he’ll bite you directly!”
As she spoke, Jia Yurong picked up a wooden stick to poke at the Border Collie. Very quickly, the dog bared its teeth and barked fiercely.
“Woof woof! Don’t touch! Woof woof, I’m starving to death! Whoever touches my food is my enemy! Woof woof woof! I told you not to poke me! I’m starving!”
Suddenly, with a *crack*, the wooden stick was bitten clean through by the red-eyed Border Collie. The audience gasped in unison.
“Look at my dog. With him like this, who would dare keep him? I’m worried sick! Streamer, can’t you understand dog language? Quick, ask him what he actually wants! Tell him if he dares to bite again, I’ll kick him out to be a stray!”
【Holy crap, this Border Collie is way too vicious!】
【Make him a stray? He’d be a menace out there! A dog like this should just be put down.】
The bullet comments were all condemning the dog for being ungrateful. Shen Miao quickly relayed Jia Yurong’s words.
Upon hearing them, the Border Collie didn’t even bother to snap back at first. He continued to scarf down the dog food with frantic “awoo-awoo” sounds. Only after he finished did he lift his head and whimper out a response.
“If you don’t want to keep me, then don’t! Let me go be a stray! If I go out and dig through trash, at least I can get a full meal, woof! I’m starving to death. I can’t die, but I can’t live well either. Woof, following this kind of person is just rotten luck, woof!”
Finally encountering someone who could understand “woof-woof” language, the black-and-white furry Border Collie suddenly burst into tears as he spoke. The dog collapsed directly onto the ground, looking like he had lost all will to live.
*Other pet dogs, do you understand? I’ve lived this long relying on just a small handful of dog food every day. I don’t even know how I’ve survived!*
After listening, a very solemn expression appeared on Shen Miao’s round, black-and-white face.
“You are abusing your dog!”
“How is that possible?”
Hearing this, Jia Yurong immediately protested. She picked up Marshal and retorted, “I feed him on time and in specific amounts every day. I give him a bath every week and take him for regular check-ups. How am I abusing him? Streamer, stop making things up and spreading rumors, okay?”
This streamer named “The Panda Has a Cat Too” was completely unreliable!
Certain that Shen Miao was just acting out a script, Jia Yurong was about to pull out various dog-related bills and receipts to expose her when she heard Shen Miao continue.
“Then let me ask you: how much dog food do you feed him every day?”
“According to the instructions, one small handful of fifty grams a day.”
“And then? What else do you feed him?”
“Nothing else. What else should I feed him? I don’t even give him leftovers; too much salt is bad for dogs.”
Hearing this, not only was Shen Miao stunned, her panda eyes going wide, but the viewers also exploded.
【Good grief! A single bottle of my yogurt is fifty grams! It really hasn’t been easy for this dog to grow this big!】
【The fact that this dog hasn’t eaten you yet shows he has a good temper, and you’re complaining about food-guarding? If he didn’t guard his food, he’d have starved to death already!】
【So tragic, so tragic. This is the ultimate hunger-endurance king!】
【Is this a vicious dog? No, this is clearly a starving dog!】
【The streamer seems to be right. This is abuse!】
【This is ridiculous. Fifty grams of dog food isn’t even enough to fill the gap in my cat’s teeth, let alone a large dog! Not enough to die, but never enough to be full…】
Seeing the bullet comments, Jia Yurong frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
“I just followed what the dog seller told me. Feed him fifty grams of dog food each time and nothing else. What’s the problem?”
