I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 262 Do You Love Me?
Ye Jie gestured with her hands, "I'm afraid I'll walk until my legs break and still not be able to find the animals."

Xu Ying chuckled upon hearing this, and waved the card in her hand: "Of course I have one!"

This statement caused the guests, who were about to rush off to find their friends, to stop in their tracks.

Xu Ying glanced at the task card and smiled as she pointed out, "There are two birds, two mice, one rabbit, and one sheep."

At this point, a sly glint flashed in her eyes: "There are five little animal friends in total."

"You can use the habits of these small animals to find their possible locations."

As soon as Xu Ying finished speaking, Su Zhining immediately mocked, "Little Station Chief Xu, your arithmetic skills need improvement. Didn't you say there were six animals? How did you count as five? How did you even get into this position?"

"Impossible! There must be a reason why Station Master Xu said that!" Ye Jie, Xu Ying's number one fan, immediately retorted.

She pondered Xu Ying's words carefully for a moment, then exclaimed, "Ah! I understand!"

"Station Master Xu's suggestion was brilliant!"

Ye Jie felt the excitement of having guessed the exam question correctly: "I did my homework carefully before coming here, and I looked at the animal guide for the high-altitude areas of the Tianshan Mountains. I guessed one of the animals!"

"Everyone, take your time figuring it out. I'm going to find my animal friends now!"

Ye Jie grabbed the photographer and they set off immediately.

[Ye Zi was so well-behaved and hardworking on the show; she completely shattered my previous impression of her.]

[She's so dedicated! She even did her homework before going on the show. Don't call Ye Jie a silly beauty anymore; she's a hard worker!]

[Ye Zi's sisterly bond with Station Master Xu is so sweet!]

Bumping into everything will only harm you.

Su Zhining watched Ye Jie's departing figure and said, "Hmph, what's there to show off?"

She pulled out a pair of binoculars that looked expensive from her backpack: "Luckily, I brought my own binoculars; they were recommended to me by a birdwatcher I know."

"I'm sure I'll be the first one to find animal friends!"

The four guests had long since disappeared into the vast snow line, leaving only a series of footprints of varying depths on the snow.

At this moment, the sound of an engine finally came from afar, and Lu Jinyu's dazzling sapphire blue snowmobile drove into the venue like a tired old dog.

He staggered off his bike, hands on his knees, gasping for breath. His pale face contrasted sharply with his brightly colored cycling jersey, and his bangs were soaked with sweat, sticking messily to his forehead. This disheveled appearance instantly caused a stir in the live stream comments:

[Lu Shen's condition... Are the stamina levels of esports players really this low?]

[Don't generalize! We have physical monsters in the esports scene too, okay?]

[It was clearly Qi Xiao's team that bullied Brother Lu, which is why he ended up like this.]

[We're not buddies, this isn't bullying at all. Lu Jinyu didn't even catch the exhaust fumes from the caravan.]

Upon seeing this, Xu Ying quickly stepped forward, her brows unconsciously furrowing.

Looking at Lu Jinyu's bluish lips, she was terrified he'd fall into a snowdrift at any moment. "Why don't you rest first? Let's skip the animal-finding part."

Lu Jinyu suddenly straightened up, but then everything went black and he almost fell back down.

He forced a wave of his hand, his voice trembling, "What...what are you talking about? I'm fine!"

"Do you look down on me?"

He patted his chest defiantly as he spoke, only to choke and cough.

Helpless, Xu Ying had no choice but to read the hint card again: "Find a friend's hint: two birds, two mice, one rabbit, and one sheep."

"Sheep?" Lu Jinyu's eyes suddenly lit up as he recalled the snow mountain motorcycle race he had watched. "Is it the argali? The argali team?" Xu Ying's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected that this young master, who looked like he might faint at any moment, would actually know something about it.

But she quickly composed herself and said businesslike, "That's all the hint I can give you. The rest is up to you." Turning to leave, she couldn't help but turn back and add, "Are you sure you don't need to call the medical team?"

Lu Jinyu staggered into the snow, his back view as stubborn as a lone penguin.

It's tragic, but it's also hilarious!

Judging from Station Master Xu's reaction, it must be a Himalayan ibex!

Lu Jinyu's fans instantly went wild, and the live chat was flooded with praise: [Look! This is the keen eye of our esports champion!]

[Brother Lu proves with his strength: Wise men don't rely on brute force!]

[Waaaaah, finally Lu's shining moment is here!]

Who says only those with strong limbs can win? Mentalists can shine just as brightly!

Xu Ying stood at the entrance of the rescue station, her fingers unconsciously stroking the timer, her gaze sweeping across the vast snowfield: "I wonder who will be the first to bring back animal friends?"

At this moment, amidst the piles of rocks on the north slope of the snow-capped mountain, Yao Yingzhe was cautiously advancing, following a series of eerie cries, when a strange cry came from behind the rocks.

The squawking sounded like a squeaky, squeaky chicken toy saying, "Do you love me? Do you love me?"

It's like saying "two hundred and fifty" or "two hundred and fifty".

Knowledgeable netizens had already guessed what animal it was before Yao Yingzhe did.

[Wow, that mesmerizing cry, it's definitely a Rock Thunderbird! It grabs anyone and immediately asks, "Do you love me? Do you love me?"]

This bird is only found in Xizhou Province in our Dragon Kingdom.

Yao Yingzhe parted the bushes and saw a large, round, snow-white bird tilting its head to look at him. The bird looked like a glutinous rice ball with chili sauce smeared on its eyebrows, with red eye rings and orange-red eyebrow stripes, and it was continuing to shout at the top of its lungs, "Do you love me~"

Despite its imposing name, the Rock Ptarmigan is actually quite weak, preyed upon by various birds and beasts, making it extremely rare. It is listed as a Class II protected animal in China.

The list of natural enemies could fill an A4 page.

[The bird is definitely a husky!]

Yao Yingzhe's brows furrowed more and more, and finally he couldn't help but start chanting:
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you, child?" He squatted down and said earnestly, "Asking everyone you meet if they love me, you can't be so love-struck!"

Rock Thunderbird tilted its head: "Two hundred and fifty?"

"You need to focus on your career now!"

Yao Yingzhe gestured with great distress, "Look at you, a national second-class protected animal, such an honorable status! And all you want to do all day is date?"

The bird flapped its wings: "Do you love me?"

"You must first learn to love yourself!"

Teacher Yao got more and more into her speech, "Are those red circles under your eyes from staying up all night waiting for your boyfriend? Young people should take care of their health!"

The comments section was bursting with laughter:

[Help! Bird life mentor Teacher Yao is online!]

[Rockpie: Who are you?.jpg]

This bird looks more like it's crying "Help me!"

　The rock ptarmigan's call is really funny. Those interested can search for it online and hear whether it's saying "Do you love me?" or "You idiot!"
