Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 140 Little Mimi Falls into a Deep Sleep

Since ancient times, there has been a struggle for the supreme 'throne'!
The outcome is never decided overnight.

For snow leopard cubs who mainly eat dry food, the struggle for their 'food bowl' is even more ruthless, cruel, and...adorable!

The fourth brother, Xue Aotian, was physically strong and repeatedly attacked the defensive line formed by his older brothers and sisters. However, being too simple-minded, he only thought about using brute force to overcome skill. Against the 'combined attack formation' of the three little ones, he could only suffer defeat every time.

Ouch ouch——!
With a frustrated baby voice, Xue Aotian wiggled his little bottom and buried his head in his dad Chen Nian's arms, his wet nose rubbing against his clothes, as if accusing his older siblings of 'tyranny'!
"Oh dear, another day like this, another 'startup failing halfway through,' Comrade Aotian?"

Chen Nian couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

Skillfully scooping up the fluffy little crybaby, I precisely placed the warm bottle to its mouth.

The little guy took it in one gulp and started drinking it.

While it was still eating, Chen Nian didn't forget to give it a little prank.

"But don't be discouraged!"

"Heaven will entrust this leopard with a great responsibility, and it will first test his will! Brute force alone will not work; we need to use some wisdom, to outmaneuver and outflank him, do you understand? As long as you are flexible, I think there is still hope to regain the position of heir apparent."

This blatant off-site coaching instantly ignited a battle in the live stream chat:
"Bold 'Pro- ...

"Where's the referee?! Where's my referee? Come out and do something about it! @SummerJuly"

Upon seeing Chen Nian cheating, someone immediately tagged Xia Qiyue, the beautiful young lady who was the only manager and assistant in the live stream.

Hopefully, she can punish Chen Nian.

However, Xia Qiyue, who was being tagged by everyone, was currently comfortably nestled behind a sheltered rock in the distance, slowly chewing on dried beef jerky.

Upon seeing the comments, she rolled her eyes dramatically and her fingers flew across the screen:
"Get out of the way, don't disturb my TV series!"

This show is naturally a chaotic battle of four adorable pets.

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the "anti-arrogance party" in the live stream instantly sank.

Finished!

Even the referee is on the opposing team's side!
As Xue Aotian, having eaten and drunk his fill and rekindled his fighting spirit, roared and charged toward the 'throne' once again, the battle between "supporters" and "anti-Aotian" in the live stream intensified, resembling a bloodless world war of adorable pets.

Chen Nian watched this scene with a smile.

With the absence of Xiaomi cat food for the past two days, Xue Li's milk supply has returned to normal levels.

The growth rate of the three cubs has also returned to a level that is more in line with common knowledge about snow leopard cubs.

This put Chen Nian's mind at ease a little.

In the past few days, Wang Chen from the Cat Alliance has been nagging him, hoping that Chen Nian would allow him to conduct some non-invasive close-range observation and testing on Lao Si.

"Professor Chen, the research value of such special individuals is extremely high!"

"If you could, could you help me with the test?"

"Or I can come in person!"

These tests are all very basic.

It will not have any impact on Xue Aotian.

However, in order to conceal the abnormal growth rate, Chen Nian still refused, saying that the 'child' was too young.

As for letting Wang Chen try it himself...
That's even more impossible.

This idea was completely abandoned after a member of the Cat Alliance accidentally made a noise behind a rock, almost causing Sherry to suddenly attack and hurt someone.

Wang Chen had no desire to face a ferocious adult snow leopard!

You can't just drug the mother of a snow leopard cub to test her physical data, can you?
So outrageous!
They, the Cat Alliance, still have some sense of shame.

Therefore, Wang Chen could only place his hopes on Chen Nian.

Wang Chen felt that Chen Nian's refusal was somewhat reasonable. After all, Chen Nian was the new father, and he wasn't in a hurry to test her; he could do it in a couple of days.

Finally, on the sixth day of Chen Nian becoming a father.

The growth curves of the four little dumplings have stabilized.

Chen Nian went along with it and cooperated with Wang Chen to start the planned mini-test.

Daily activity monitoring, basic behavioral observation, etc.

The test results are normal.

The eldest, second, and third children are lively and active, slightly above average, but still within the normal fluctuation range.

Xue Aotian is already very outstanding!
Even without the 'special milk,' its performance was still outstanding, almost reaching the ceiling of data for snow leopard cubs of the same age!
"As expected of you, Hajime!"

This result made Wang Chen's eyes light up.

"Old Chen, you must continue testing for me!"

Chen Nian secretly glanced at the report and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't too outrageous.

As for Wang Chen's request to continue testing, he readily agreed.

The new test will take it a step further.

It needs to be extracted from samples of the pup's feces.

So, under the curious yet slightly suspicious gaze of Shirley's mother, Chen Nian began to act blatantly.
Stealing manure!

"Wait! Sherry, don't bury it yet, let me pick up a couple of bites!"

Chen Nian stopped Xue Li from burying the sample, quickly picked it up, and swiftly placed it into a sterile sealed bag, all in one smooth motion.

"Alright, you can continue."

Sherry: ?
Its large head tilted in confusion. Generally, wild animals carefully bury their excrement every day after building nests in the wild.

This is to prevent the smell from attracting unwanted guests.

Although it was Shirley's first time being a mother, she buried herself in great care every day.

But today it couldn't quite understand the dad's behavior.

Woo.
Sherry hesitated for a moment, then tentatively nuzzled her large, furry head into Chen Nian's arms, her warm breath brushing against his arm. Her thick front paws gently tugged at his hand holding the bag, and she made a low, admonishing purr in her throat.

Stay-at-home dad!

This thing...you can't eat it!

Chen Nian certainly couldn't give the sample to it, so she held the bag high: "This is really useful! Okay, go bury yours!"

You went through so much trouble to collect it yourself, what kind of behavior is it to take it back!

So, the man and the leopard began an extreme tug-of-war around a bag of fecal samples.

"."

This scene sent a chill down Wang Chen's spine as he watched from behind the rock.

Stop talking nonsense!
Be careful the bag doesn't tear and you'll get soaked!
Unexpectedly, Chen Nian eventually managed to bring the sample back successfully.

The price is a half-hour full-body spa treatment!

Chen Nian's hands were sore from pressing so many times.

Looking at the hard-won sample, Wang Chen solemnly patted Chen Nian on the shoulder:

"You've worked hard, comrade! The organization will remember you!"

Chen Nian glanced at his hand.

"Did your hand just touch the sample?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Wang Chen switched hands and clapped again, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade!"

Chen Nian: "."

My heart is even more tired!
One sample is naturally not enough.

Scientific research data requires a large sample size for analysis.

So, in the time that followed, Chen Nian transformed into the most dedicated 'personal cat caretaker,' continuing to collect samples without batting an eye.

The scene made Sherry frown!
Look how hungry this stay-at-home dad is!

It even offered its own jerky to Chen Nian in an attempt to stop her from doing so.

We have food, is it okay if we don't eat this?

Chen Nian: No way!
Sherry's attempts to persuade her were unsuccessful, and she was punished with several full-body spa treatments, eventually becoming so exhausted that she gave up.

Forget it, there's no hope.

Testing is ongoing.

Meanwhile, in the live stream room.

The popular TV series "Snow Leopard Dynasty: The Heir's Struggle for the Throne" continues to soar in popularity and has become a daily staple program.

More and more people are joining the debate between the two factions.

Various memes featuring Xue Aotian as the main character have flooded the internet, and these silly memes have quickly gone viral, sweeping across social media platforms.

Almost all of these are Xue Aotian's dark history!
Chen Nian couldn't resist saving a whole bunch of emojis, and secretly laughed while looking at them in bed at night.

"This generation of netizens is full of talent!"

"This isn't some dark history, it's clearly the path Aotian took!"

Taking advantage of the golden window of opportunity when the snow leopard family gradually became familiar with the camp environment and their vigilance decreased, the other members of the camp were finally fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the snow mountain spirit's elegant and adorable charm from a safe distance.

For several professors who have dedicated their lives to studying wild animals...

Being able to observe a snow leopard with cubs so closely in the wild fulfilled a lifelong dream!

Professor Lu also managed to capture the graceful black-necked cranes in the morning light by the lake.

Everything seemed to be moving in the best possible direction.

The only thing Chen Nian couldn't let go of was Xiaomi.

Xiaomi's excessive sleepiness is getting worse!
Before, it would at least respond twice when I called it, but these past two days, the only response to Chen Nian has been the Xiaomi AI voice.

I asked and found out that Xiaomi had actually gone into hibernation!
Awakening time: Unknown.

This made Chen Nian somewhat worried.

Fortunately, before falling asleep, Xiaomi told Chen Nian that she was just sleeping.

You'll feel better after you wake up.

Helpless, Chen Nian could only suppress her worries and silently wait for the day the little one would wake up.

And another little guy that had been missing for a long time.

On the seventh day, he finally appeared before Chen Nian again, bathed in the morning light.
