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

Chapter 151 This video must be photoshopped!
Far from the hustle and bustle of Xinlong County, a small courtyard gently embraced by blue sky and white clouds stands quietly.

A simple two-story building.

It carries a sense of tranquility that comes with the passage of time.

This is the temporary 'nanny base' that the Cat Alliance prepared for Chen Nian and Xue Aotian—a former rescue station.

The first floor is clearly divided into functional areas.

The former rescue area was empty but clean.

The backyard is very spacious and serves as an isolation zone.

This place was abandoned a year ago.

The people at the rescue station moved to another rescue station in Xinlong County, which is where Lin Qidong and his group are now.

The reason I stayed is because I didn't know what to do with this place.

Because it's far from the city center, it's impossible to rent it out, so it's just been sitting empty.

Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.

A year later, this place welcomed its first wild 'resident'.

Xue Aotian.

The second floor is the living area.

There are five rooms in total.

The two data assistants sent by Cat Alliance do not live here. They have a place to stay in the county town and only bring their equipment over during working hours.

As for Lin Sen...

He was called back by his supervisor to complete an urgent project, the kind that couldn't be done without him, and he wouldn't be released until it was finished.

Left with no other choice, Lin Sen had to hurry back.

Let's try to get this done as soon as possible before coming back.

Therefore, for the time being, only Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue are here.

All daily necessities are provided; once the remaining equipment arrives, this highland courtyard will be officially opened.

——The Snow Leopard Young Master's Growth Observation Station.

Thanks to Cat Alliance's extremely high efficiency.

The fatigue from two days of travel dissipated in the crisp, clear air of the plateau and the soft comfort of the bed.

Nine in the morning.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, waking Chen Nian.

He stretched out a big yawn, his bones making a comfortable, soft cracking sound.

"Hmm! It's rare for me to stay in bed late!"

As soon as I opened the door, I bumped into Xia Qiyue, who was yawning.

She rubbed her eyes, looking a bit sleepy as she walked out, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

"Morning!"

"Morning~"

The two of them went downstairs at the same time.

Pushing open the door, a cool breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and earth rushes in, instantly refreshing the mind and body.

Before me stretched an unobstructed, clear blue sky, as if washed clean, with large, fluffy, white clouds hanging low, seemingly within reach.

Looking into the distance, one sees the outlines of rolling hills, their green hues varying in different shades under the sunlight.

There are no skyscrapers cutting through the landscape, no bustling traffic, only boundless openness and tranquility between heaven and earth!

It's a beautiful sight you'll never see in the city.

It is also the life that countless working people dream of.

Chen Nian took a deep breath, filling her chest with the cool air, and then slowly exhaled, a blissful smile appearing on her face: "I never thought that the life I've always dreamed of would actually come true thanks to Ao Tian."

"That's because you deserve this 'blessing'."

Xia Qiyue turned her head, a mischievous smile in her eyes, and called out each word clearly.

"Right? Cat, King, Great, Man~"

"Get out!"

Chen Nian gets a headache just hearing the name Elvis Presley.

"It's one thing for Lin Sen to make a fool of himself, but why are the officials also joining in the chaos?"

The contents of the new certificate issued to him by the official authorities have been leaked, which has solidified Chen Nian's title of "New Era Elvis".

Even in Chen Nian's live stream comments.

They all have an exclusive title slot added by the official DY team.

He now has not just one title, but two!

—The number one cat expert on the entire internet, the new era's cat king.

"It's probably because you were too immature in the live stream back then, so the platform thought you liked that."

Xia Qiyue's laughter was like the tinkling of a clear spring.

"And, cat lovers have given you so many nicknames! Like 'Godfather of Felines,' 'Walking Encyclopedia of Felines,' 'Chief Cat Dad.' Oh, right!"

She suddenly stood up straight, clasped her hands together, and performed a very standard ancient greeting.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile, but her voice was deliberately strained: "Greetings—Cult Leader of the Cat Cult! The sacred flame shines brightly, the holy light gleams!"

"Fine, fine! Call me whatever you want! Leader it is, Elvis it is, no need for formalities!"

Chen Nian waved her hand, both amused and exasperated.

The story about 'Cat Cult' was actually told by him.

He only mentioned it casually during a live stream, never expecting it to grow into such a large-scale phenomenon.

As soon as he starts broadcasting, his cat lovers start flooding the screen with comments:
"Welcome, Leader of the Cat Cult!"

This left new fans completely confused.

Then, in less than two minutes, he naturally joined the Cat Cult, becoming a new follower, and together they began to welcome the cult leader.

Chen Nian had no way to deal with this.

They can only let their cat lovers make fun of them.

Now, with the addition of an officially recognized title, the comments section became incredibly chaotic.

"Forget it, I'm tired, let's leave it at that."

Chen Nian immediately gave up three times in a row.

He glanced down at the time, then looked up at the distant horizon.

"By now, Liang and the others should have already boarded the plane, right?"

"Yeah, it's just the two of us now."

All members of this documentary trip, except for Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue who stayed behind because of Xue Aotian, including Wuji Xiaoliang, left Xinlong on the same flight.

Everyone was eager to go back and properly organize their findings.

Then wait for the documentary to be released!
Before leaving, Infinite Quantity patted Chen Nian's shoulder hard, thanked him sincerely, and told Chen Nian some news.

"Chen Nian, do you know Professor Tang Rong?"

"I know."

Chen Nian naturally knew about this top snow leopard research professor in China.

It can be said that Professor Tang has been the one promoting the domestic plan to protect the snow leopard's ecological environment.

Chen Nian has great respect for this senior.

Then he heard Infinite Quantity continue, "Actually, Professor Tang played a significant role in your success in obtaining the right to raise Xue Aotian."

"He vouched for you in his own name."

"I assure the Cat Alliance officials that you can take good care of Xue Aotian."

"what?!"

Chen Nian never expected that Professor Tang, whom she had never met, would trust her so much.

He was deeply moved by the friendship he received from like-minded friends.

Finally, Infinite Quantity smiled and said, "So, don't let him down. Take good care of Aotian and prove Professor Tang's judgment right."

"Definitely!" Chen Nian solemnly agreed.

In the courtyard, Chen Nian came to her senses.

A faint whimpering sound could be heard in my ears.

He and Xia Qiyue exchanged a smile, then walked together toward the nursery they had specially prepared for Xue Aotian.

This marked the beginning of their first day living on the plateau.

As videos of Chen Nian and Xue Aotian's interactions spread online, they quickly crossed national borders and were uploaded to foreign websites.

Inside a research institute abroad that specializes in studying snow leopards.

A blond, blue-eyed expert is watching Chen Nian's video.

When the expert saw Chen Nian approach a female snow leopard in difficult labor without taking any precautions and successfully help the snow leopard give birth to its cubs, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!!"

"This video must be photoshopped; no one could have done that."

The assistant next to me timidly reminded me, "Videos can't be edited."

"Ok?"

The expert glared at him fiercely.

Another assistant quickly interrupted, "Teacher, you can ask Tang. He should know if it's true."

Tang Ziran refers to Professor Tang Rong.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The expert quickly dialed Tang Rong's number.

After the exchange, the expert stared blankly at the tablet, the image on which was paused on Chen Nian's gentle smiling face.

"It's actually true!"

After regaining his composure, the expert immediately waved his hand dismissively:
"Thomas! Arrange a flight for me there. I want to meet this...this amazing cat-identifying streamer in person!"

"Yes!"

(I knew something was wrong with this world! I've succeeded as a Taoist priest!!)
