I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 263 I'm Not Love-Brained
"Idiot!"

Yao Yingzhe was chanting in the ear of the Rock Thunderbird, and the Rock Thunderbird was also a chatterbox. It would reply to Yao Yingzhe's words. Although the man and the bird were talking about their own things, they seemed to be in a strange harmony.

[I'm speechless, this livestream is so noisy!]

[It's amazing how one person and one bird can create the feeling of a bustling downtown area.]

[It felt like they were talking at cross purposes; I wonder what Rock Thunderbird's impression of Uncle Yao is.]

[That goes without saying; between extremes, there's either extreme good or extreme bad.]

Yao Yingzhe and the rock thunderbird chatted as they walked back to the meeting point. Xu Ying, who was at the meeting point, was surprised to see that the first person to return with an animal friend was actually the oldest, Yao Yingzhe.

"Oh, I'm the first one."

When Yao Yingzhe returned and found that he was the first to arrive, he wore a confident smile: "Old ginger is spicier. No matter how high your spirits are, you young people can't win over the animals with my personal charm."

The Rock Thunderbird tilted its head: "Idiot~"

Upon seeing Xu Ying, it eagerly flew to her side, asking, "Do you love me?"

The rock ptarmigan was introduced to the show by a snowsweeper to work, and Xu Ying gave it an "employee training course".

[Station Master Xu, I'm back! Tell this old man to shut up!]
[He actually said I'm love-struck, but I'm not love-struck at all; I'm just as passionate as a beast.]
Xu Ying chuckled: "It's true that deep affection is short-lived."

[Could you customize a nameplate for me? I want to change my name.]
The rock ptarmigan touched the GPS ring around its neck. This was a ring the production team put on the animals to help them find their partner animals. If the animals were in danger, they could also use the GPS ring to call the production team for help.

The name on this rock ptarmigan's satellite positioning ring is "Raybao".

"Why did you suddenly want to change the name?" Xu Ying was completely confused. During the training course, she named this rock thunderbird Lei Bao, and it loved it.

Upon hearing this, the Rock Thunderbird excitedly boasted to Xu Ying: "[I've been feeding the Snowy Owl rabbits for two months straight, and yesterday it finally remembered me and called my name, even if it got it wrong. But that's okay, I can change it right away!]"
Xu Ying:?
What else could this be but being love-struck?
Under the earnest gaze of the Rock Thunderbird, Xu Ying couldn't bear to spoil its mood: "What name do you want?"

I wanted to yell, "Get out of here!"
[Because the snowy owl called me "Get out of here" several times yesterday with an agitated expression, I think it must have remembered my name wrong. No problem, I can change my name to "Get out of here" right away!]
Xu Ying: 6.

Watching Xu Ying communicate so easily with the Rock Thunderbird, Yao Yingzhe couldn't help but ask Xu Ying, "What are you two talking about? Is this Rock Thunderbird saying bad things about me?"

Xu Ying smiled and translated his conversation with the Rock Thunderbird to Yao Yingzhe. Yao Yingzhe's eyes widened after listening: "I just said so much with all my heart, and this guy didn't listen to a word of it!"

"Oh no, this is incurable late-stage love-struck syndrome!"

Netizens couldn't hold back their laughter after hearing Xu Ying's translation.

[Haha, this isn't love-struck, it's being a simp, oh no, a simp.]

[I laughed so hard I started crowing! This bird is so affectionate, doesn't it know you and snowy owls have reproductive barriers?] [Teacher Yao's "talk therapy" for late-stage love-struck individuals is terminal!]

Xu Ying changed the subject of the Rock Thunderbird's request to change its name: "We'll talk about the name change in the next episode. Let me introduce you to our viewers first."

[Okay~]
Upon hearing this, the Rock Thunderbird obediently stood on the wooden stake next to Xu Ying, squatting on it like a plump snowman, dignified and beautiful.

"I'm sure everyone has heard of the nine sons of the dragon."

Xu Ying asked with a smile, "But does everyone know what the next line after 'the dragon has nine sons' is?"

Yao Yingzhe immediately chimed in: "A phoenix has nine chicks, right!"

Xu Ying gave him a thumbs up.

She began to recount this legend: "Legend has it that the Rock Thunder Bird is the eighth son of the Phoenix, and its whole body is covered in lightning. The Phoenix is ​​very devoted, and all nine of its children were born to the Phoenix, and all nine of their children are also devoted lovers."

"In mythology, the Rock Thunderbird fell in love with a great general in the mortal world. It used its own lightning to help him drive away the enemy, but because gods cannot interfere in mortal affairs, it was captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Court."

After hearing the legends about itself, the Rock Thunderbird's expression turned melancholic, like a sad little prince: "[Cluck cluck, why can't lovers be together?]"
Wow, she's quite the drama queen/king.

[A little snow chicken who's really good at self-pity~]

"Rock ptarmigans are very friendly birds that will actively approach humans; their nickname is snow chicken."

Xu Ying explained, "Rock ptarmigans generally live in alpine meadows at altitudes of 2,500 to 5,000 meters. Their feathers change seasonally. Now it's the snow season, so they look like this, all white and fluffy."

"The rock ptarmigan is a herbivorous bird that eats the leaves, flowers, and fruits of plants and can help us find and scatter the seeds of the snow lotus of the Western Mountains."

Yao Yingzhe was already rubbing his hands together impatiently and asked Xu Ying, "Station Chief Xu, I brought back my animal friend. Please ask it what it thinks of me."

Xu Ying turned to the Rock Thunderbird and asked softly, "Rock Thunderbird, if you had to describe your impression of these middle-aged men using the four ratings 'very poor,' 'acceptable,' 'good,' or 'excellent,' which one would you choose?"

The Rock Thunderbird glanced at Yao Yingzhe with its small, black, beady eyes, and slowly uttered two words: [Pass.]
[He opposes my free choice in love!]
It paused again at this point: [However, this uncle responded to everything I said, and his attitude was alright.]
Upon hearing Xu Ying's report, Yao Yingzhe looked disappointed: "These little animal kids are really hard to deal with."

"Actually, you need to treat the symptoms directly. It's a love-struck, romantic type, so teach it some cheesy pickup lines, and it'll be satisfied."

Xu Ying comforted her, "You get two points for passing, but Teacher Yao brought the little animal friends back the fastest, so you get an extra four points. You currently have six points!"

Yao Yingzhe regretted not learning more about the snow mountain animals. Looking at the guidebook provided by the program team, he thought, "What a blunder, what a blunder." But six points was still quite a lot. Satisfied, he sat back in his tent, carrying his thermos, legs crossed, waiting for the others to return.

At this time, Tibetan foxes appeared in the Snow Lotus No. 1 planting area.

The Tibetan fox, with a small animal still in its mouth, shuffled towards Xu Ying and placed the animal in front of her: "[Station Chief Xu, I'm back from hunting! I caught my prey with lightning speed today. Pretty impressive, huh?]"
