Chapter 4 Oh my! It smells so good!
Chapter 4 Oh my! It smells so good!
As the King of the Snow Mountain lay asleep on the ground, his lower body wrapped up like a mummy, the live stream chat was once again completely flooded with "hahahaha" and dazzling gift effects.
[Congratulations to Snow Leopard on winning the supreme title of "Eastern Depot's Most Beautiful Woman"!]
"With a single stroke, I sever all worldly attachments; from now on, my heart is free of the mother leopard, and I will hunt the gods of nature!"
"The streamer's technique is absolutely amazing! I'd call you the fastest knife-wielder in Northwest China!"
["Snow Leopard: You're so high and mighty! You think you're so great! You're trading my balls for internet traffic!"]
Amidst the screen filled with laughter and cheers, Lin Ye heard the system's extremely pleasant settlement voice in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for perfectly completing the emergency mission!]
The "Right Hand of God" skill has been acquired and is ready to be used at any time.
[The number of viewers in the live stream has now exceeded 200,000! The popularity is explosive!]
[A direct reward of 10 free draws!]
[Congratulations, host, you have received: 500 catties of top-grade cold-resistant alfalfa seeds, fast-growing high-quality forage, and 100,000 yuan in cash...]
Hearing about the generous reward, Lin Ye's heart pounded.
Just then, the roar of a car engine came from afar.
The medical rescue team's vehicle, kicking up dust, finally arrived at the scene.
When the medical team's experts jumped out of the vehicle and saw the snow leopard on the ground, which had been perfectly stitched up and bandaged, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
After a very thorough and professional examination, the senior veterinarian leading the team gave Lin Ye a thumbs up:
"Young man, your knife skills and suturing technique are amazing! If you hadn't acted decisively to remove the necrotic tissue, it definitely wouldn't have survived until we arrived. You saved a family of national treasures!"
With the experts' confirmation, everyone worked together to lift the still unconscious snow leopard onto a stretcher, and together with the two snow leopard cubs that were full and dozing off, they were safely escorted back to the observation station.
Half an hour later, in the courtyard of the observation post.
Several wildlife photographers, carrying long lenses and wearing heavy outdoor jackets, were gathered together smoking and sighing.
In order to capture a shot of the legendary snow leopard king, they waited here for more than a month, their noses running from the cold, but they didn't even see a single snow leopard hair.
"Squeak—"
The courtyard gate was pushed open.
The photographers instinctively turned their heads to look.
Lin Ye led his chestnut horse in. Behind him, two medical personnel were carrying a huge snow leopard on a stretcher, and beside the stretcher were two furry, stumbling snow leopard cubs!
At that moment, all the photographers seemed to be frozen in place, completely unaware that the cigarette butt in their hands had fallen onto their shoes.
"Holy crap..."
"Snow...a snow leopard?! Alive?!"
"Quick! Take the picture now!!!"
The photographers, realizing what was happening, went into a frenzy, their shutters clicking like a torrential downpour, and their flashes going off in a blur.
Just then, the snow leopard on the stretcher trembled slightly and slowly opened its eyes.
The effects of the anesthetic are wearing off.
This once aloof king of the snow-capped mountains looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and the group of humans pointing their black "long tubes" at it with a bewildered expression.
It instinctively sensed a danger and tried to struggle to its feet to protect its cubs.
But as soon as it exerted force with its hind legs, an extremely intense pulling pain spread throughout its body, causing it to stumble and roll directly off the stretcher onto the soft lawn.
"Awoo..." It let out a mournful cry that was extremely aggrieved and painful.
It looked around and saw two little cubs rolling around safely at the foot of the forest, while two young female college students were nursing the little ones with starry eyes.
It breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But then, it suddenly felt that something extremely important was missing from its lower body.
It's chilly and feels empty.
It lowered its enormous head with difficulty, looking between its legs.
No more.
That heavy pendant, which once symbolized masculine dignity, has completely disappeared!
Instead, there was a large white gauze wrapped tightly around the body and tied with an extremely comical bow!
Lin Ye was standing not far away at this moment, and the [Listening to All Things] skill in his mind instantly captured the snow leopard's heart collapsing like a raging storm.
"My balls... my balls..."
"NO!!! Where did my balls go?!"
"Awooo—"
It let out an extremely mournful howl, so heartbreaking that it would bring tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it. The sound contained three parts shock, three parts jealousy, three parts confusion, and a trace of helplessness at having completely lost hope in "Leopard Life".
Lin Ye suppressed a laugh, stepped forward, and with the help of his superior animalistic affinity, gently stroked the snow leopard's massive head.
"Alright, brother, don't feel aggrieved. Staying alive is the most important thing. Look on the bright side, from now on you won't be carrying any weight, the drag will be less, the aerodynamics will be maximized, and you'll definitely be more accurate and ruthless when catching sheep! Besides, you already have two kids, the family line continues, and you won't have to worry about that kind of thing anymore. As they say, 'no eggs, no worries'!"
The snow leopard couldn't understand the complex, sarcastic remarks of humans, but it could sense the comfort in Lin Ye's tone.
It glared at Lin Ye with extreme resentment, then slammed its huge head between its two front paws with a "bang," letting out a series of mournful whimpers from its throat.
Lin Ye could almost see a snowflake falling from above, and the mournful background music of "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling, and the world is a vast expanse of desolation" automatically started playing in his ears.
At this moment, the photographers who were watching also realized that something was wrong.
Through their telephoto lenses, they could clearly see the conspicuous bow-shaped bandage on the snow leopard's rump. Combined with the words "necrosis removal" that the medical team doctor had casually mentioned earlier, these experienced photographers immediately understood what had happened.
In an instant, the gazes of all the photographers changed. From initial fervor and shock, they transformed into an extremely intense and profound sense of empathy and compassion.
One male photographer even instinctively brought his legs together and gasped.
"What a tragedy... The mighty King of the Snow Mountains has become a eunuch. How will he ever hold his head high in front of the other female leopards when he returns to the mountain!"
Faced with the sympathetic gazes of these humans and the cameras shamelessly filming his lower body, the snow leopard was completely speechless.
Back then, it reached adulthood at the age of three, and with its powerful physique, it defeated the old leopard king and occupied that most fertile snow mountain territory. How spirited and invincible it was! But now, everything is ruined!
Without that thing, can it still be considered a real man?!
Leopard's life was shrouded in gloom.
It even had an extremely tragic idea—to go on a hunger strike!
As a king, I would rather die than be humiliated! I wish I had died on the grassland!
As night fell, the canteen at the observation station was filled with an incredibly tempting aroma of food.
The food at the station was excellent, and supplies were plentiful.
Lin Ye chopped the remaining mutton from the uneaten experimental sheep No. 014 into large chunks, put them into a stainless steel basin, added broth, and most importantly, he secretly added two drops of [Life Spring Water].
The savory aroma of the broth was amplified more than tenfold, transforming into an extremely domineering and soul-stirring fragrance.
"Squeak—"
The door to the side room where the snow leopard was kept was pushed open.
Lin Ye carried in a pot of steaming, fragrant mutton soup and placed it in front of the snow leopard lying on the soft old cotton quilt.
The snow leopard, still secretly shedding tears and reminiscing about its lost youth, suddenly twitched its nose twice.
"Gurgle..."
Her already severely injured and exhausted stomach immediately emitted a deafening protest.
A flicker of struggle flashed in the snow leopard's eyes.
No! I am the King of the Snow Mountains!
These two-legged beasts stole my dignity while I was unconscious; this is an utter disgrace!
How could I possibly accept their handouts?! I have to stand up for myself!
I'm going on a hunger strike in protest!
Thinking this, it arrogantly turned its head to one side and closed its eyes tightly.
But under the dual allure of the spiritual spring water and the top-quality mutton soup, the domineering aroma relentlessly assaulted its nostrils.
The snow leopard's pupils dilated uncontrollably, and it swallowed its saliva frantically.
Even though it tried its best to control itself, a large, glistening drop of drool still involuntarily dripped from the corner of its mouth and onto the quilt.
In his mind, the dignity of a king and the instinct of a rice cooker engaged in an extremely fierce life-or-death struggle.
The exchange lasted approximately 0.5 seconds.
"To hell with dignity! I'm dead, my balls are broken, what's the point of saving face?!"
A violent compromise echoed in my mind.
The next second, the snow leopard, which had been on the verge of death just a moment ago, suddenly scrambled to its feet and plunged headfirst into the stainless steel basin.
The enormous tongue rolls up large chunks of tender lamb and rich broth.
"Smack smack smack..."
"It smells so good! This mutton is a million times better than the argali I've had before! *smack smack*... You two-legged creature, give me another bowl!"
