“Of course there’s a problem! The dog food you give to a half-month-old puppy and the food you give to a one-year-old dog can’t be the same! The dog is still growing!
We—no, they—fluffy creatures grow really fast!”
Being black-and-white herself, Shen Miao had more than a little fondness for Border Collies.
She quickly put herself in the dog’s shoes and thought that even a panda would go crazy from this. So she immediately looked sympathetically at the watery-eyed dog across the screen and said:
“You should feed him another scoop!”
“Another scoop!”
This went on for eight or nine rounds, and after a whole bag of dog food was fed, this Border Collie named Marshal finally experienced the first full meal of his doggy life!
“Woof woof woof, so this is what being full feels like?
Woof woof, today Wang met his adoptive mother, woof!”
The dog was so grateful after eating his fill that tears welled up in his eyes. He stopped guarding his food, stopped being aggressive, and stopped biting people. The dog was perfectly well-behaved now. Seeing this, Shen Miao sighed:
“Don’t worry, I’ve already told your owner—she’ll make sure you get enough to eat from now on.”
Really, woof?!
Hearing this, Marshal was so moved that he knelt down with his front legs and thumped his doggy head against the ground three times toward the phone, shouting loudly:
“Benefactor! Adoptive mother, woof!”
Seeing the dog like this, Jia Yurong finally realized that she had been ridiculously strict before. She promised that she would definitely make sure the dog got enough to eat from now on:
“I was wrong about the streamer before.”
She hadn’t expected this streamer to actually know her stuff. Jia Yurong was completely convinced and hung up the call, tipping Shen Miao a thousand steamed buns.
Now she could finally take Xiaoguai out for a proper meal!
Meanwhile, the livestream chat was in hysterics, all of them sympathizing with poor Marshal.
Just as Shen Miao was about to continue selling ginseng, she suddenly heard two loud booming sounds in the distance. Instantly, birds in the forest flapped their wings and scattered in all directions.
Soon after, rustling sounds came from the woods, and an adult black bear ran past Shen Miao at top speed with a terrified expression. Behind it, a herd of sika deer were also kicking up their hooves, fleeing at full speed.
Shen Miao frowned, listening carefully to the panicked Beast Tongue. The livestream viewers were all dumbfounded.
What was this? A Northeast version of the African savanna migration?
And that bear—why was it running so fast, not even glancing at the streamer?
[This is ridiculous, absolutely off the charts!
This has to be special effects, right? Or AI? I thought at least the streamer’s background was real, but the whole thing is animated?]
[But the problem is, this animation is also ridiculous—why are deer chasing a bear? And why isn’t the bear chasing the streamer?]
[Those two booming sounds scared me to death. What was that noise? Is there going to be an earthquake and the animals are fleeing?]
“No, it’s poachers! Those two sounds were gunshots.”
Shen Miao also remembered what Qin Che had told her that afternoon. As an ancient divine beast panda, when it came to these poaching Two-legged Beasts, of course it was a case of “humans can endure it, but bears cannot”!
So Shen Miao let out a cold snort:
“Damn poaching Two-legged Beasts! I’m turning off the stream to go catch the criminals. Everyone remember to place your orders!”
[Streamer, wait before turning it off—just keep it on and let us watch! We’ll tip!]
[Exactly! You’ve acted this far, why not keep going? Don’t tell me the special effects aren’t ready yet?]
[Ooh ooh ooh, going to catch poachers. Look at how awesome you think you are. What? Show us in the livestream!]
Since they insisted, Shen Miao seriously nodded her round panda head:
“Fine then, I’ll hang the phone around my neck so you can watch. Remember to tip.”
Fighting would leave no time to manage the camera angle, and it might make people dizzy, but since these people insisted on watching, she’d keep it on.
Just then, another bang of a gunshot rang out. Shen Miao didn’t have time to think about anything else—she immediately leaped onto the Siberian tiger Xiaoguai and slapped his rump:
“Quick quick quick! Run!”
Xiaoguai heard this and immediately whimpered in fear, his ears flattening into airplane ears:
“I’m not going, not going! Those are guns! They hold truth in their hands! You want this tiger to go die? Not going! Tiger won’t do it!”
Shen Miao immediately grabbed the tiger’s ear and threatened:
“I knew you were a cowardly tiger, scared out of your wits, aren’t you?
Either I smack you to death with one paw, or you take me to the scene—your choice!”
Remembering the pain of being beaten by Shen Miao before, Xiaoguai finally submitted.
The tiger let out a aggrieved roar, then immediately kicked up his paws and sprinted through the forest, quickly crossing several mountain ridges, running toward the direction the sound had come from.
The forest stretched across rolling mountains, covering a vast area. The tiger ran at lightning speed, the camera bouncing and spinning wildly, making the livestream viewers dizzy.
[Blergh, folks, I’m gonna throw up. What exactly is going on? Streamer, say something!]
[This first-person view is kind of terrifying! It’s like we’re really on a jungle expedition?]
The barrage comments flooded in even more, but Shen Miao couldn’t care less. By now, she and the tiger Xiaoguai had circled around to a spot about ten meters behind this group of people, hiding behind a small thicket.
This group had six people in total, each holding a hunting rifle. Several deer had already fallen beside them. At this moment, they were attacking a large black bear that was frantically fleeing for its life.
Despite the black bear weighing five or six hundred jin and looking quite formidable, against the truth of hunting rifles, it could only howl in panic as it was chased. Finally, with a single leap, it scrambled up a large tree, hugging the trunk tightly and trembling.
[Damn, black bears can climb trees?]
[The big black bear looks like such a poor thing right now! But I only just learned that humans can’t just climb a tree when facing a bear! Who told me bears can’t climb trees? This is deadly!]
[No kidding, wouldn’t you climb a tree if you were facing a hunting rifle? That’s a rifle, not a pistol! The recoil from one shot is insane, almost rivaling a Barrett! Any carbon-based creature would be done for! The black bear seems to be injured already, so pitiful. Streamer, go save it! But why is the live feed shaking nonstop? Is the streamer scared?]
At this moment, Shen Miao wasn’t scared, but Xiaoguai was.
A full-grown Siberian tiger was trembling like a kitten in the face of six hunting rifles.
“You useless thing!” Shen Miao whispered quietly, “What are you cowering for! There are only six of them, but right now there are two of us!”
“Awu no! You’re wrong, it’s actually just you… a tiger doesn’t count!” Xiaoguai cowered with its head tucked in, airplane ears fully deployed. If Shen Miao hadn’t been gripping the scruff of its neck, it would have already bolted a hundred thousand li away.
Shen Miao: …Forget it, what can you expect from a cat-like pet?
Better to handle it herself!
However, Shen Miao didn’t charge straight in. Her expression was serious as she furrowed her brows, thinking hard.
How exactly could she take down these six people smoothly without scaring the audience?
It felt like it might actually be a bit difficult?
While Shen Miao was thinking, the men across from her had already aimed at the black bear in the tree. Facing this bloody scene, they were casually joking among themselves:
“Good haul today. This black bear pelt should sell for a decent price. Remember to skin it whole, don’t damage it.”
“Don’t kill it completely yet. Extract the bear gallbladder first. This one’s wild and never been harvested, so there’s plenty! A customer also wants the bear’s eyes for making prayer beads. Try to get those out intact too.”
Facing this black bear that had already been shot and had nowhere to run, these poachers had already started discussing how to divide up every part of the bear’s body.
[Streamer, aren’t you supposed to be tough? Go now! This is too much! Save these animals!]
[The person above must be crazy. They have guns! Guns, okay? Are you telling the streamer to go die? Streamer, where are you? Tell us first, we’ll call the police for you!]
[Why are you all so anxious? It’s obviously scripted. The special effects are just too realistic. Just enjoy the show. I won’t believe it’s real unless the streamer can actually take on six people and prove it to me!]
