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

Chapter 197 Chen Nian Raised a Husky?! (Seeking Recommendations)

Get good cat food.

Save the cat from disaster.

As a trustworthy desert cat, Little Grey naturally had to put in his best effort since he had accepted his good friend's "generous reward".

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Nian and a group of cat lovers.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Nian and tens of thousands of "cloud supervisors" in the live broadcast room, Little Grey took an almost "heroic" step towards the purple fur ball in the center of the yard that was yawning and sleepy-eyed!

Xia Qiyue was also attracted by the commotion outside.

Holding a glass of water, I leaned against the doorframe and joined the crowd of onlookers with great interest.

嘤？
Is it Brother Grey today?

Xue Aotian blinked his big, bright blue eyes. After recognizing Little Grey, he immediately jumped up and down excitedly, like a spring ball, and pounced on Little Grey, trying to give it a warm good morning hug.

Meow!

Upon seeing this, Little Grey's fur bristled slightly.

Then, it raised its paw and precisely and steadily pressed down on Xue Aotian's head, forcibly stopping its 'meow-rushing attack'.

Stop the cat car!
stop!
Calm down, meow!

With his head held down, Xue Aotian immediately became much more obedient, his azure eyes peering at Little Grey through the gaps in his claws, full of anticipation.

What are we going to learn, Teacher Grey?

Chen Nian was equally curious.

Dot Dot is a leopard cat.

It roams in dense and complex forest environments and is undoubtedly a master climber.

Its slender body and long tail provide it with excellent balance, allowing it to easily climb to the treetops to catch baby birds in their nests, and to walk freely on sloping tree trunks to hunt squirrels.

Therefore, it covers Xue Aotian's teaching content.

The focus is primarily on agility, pouncing, and balance.

The desert cat, Little Grey, lives more in the open grasslands of the plateau.

It is completely different from the environment in which Dian Dian is located.

Its expertise and areas of expertise are naturally far removed from DianDian's.

With a flick of its tail, Little Grey steadily led Xue Aotian toward the soft, unpaved patch of ground in the yard.

Xue Aotian followed curiously.

Soon, the two cats stepped onto the soft soil.

The familiar touch made Little Grey instinctively scratch with its paws to feel the soil.

Good, it suits you well!
Meow~
It turned its head to Xue Aotian, who was following closely behind with a curious expression, and let out a low, serious call:

Take a good look!
This dig will be really cool!
The next instant, Little Grey's entire aura changed drastically!
Its blue-green eyes suddenly narrowed!
Like the most sophisticated detection radar, it swiftly swept across the land in front of it.

Then, in just a few seconds, it instantly locked onto a spot with the loosest soil, the most suitable place to strike!
Swish-!
Without any warning, its entire body suddenly sprang open like a compressed spring, and it pounced forward!

Two strong, powerful, and muscular forepaws instantly transformed into highly efficient 'excavator buckets,' frantically digging with a whooshing sound, at a speed so fast that they almost created afterimages!
The mud splashed backward like a fountain!
Meanwhile, its hind legs were not idle either.

Shoot left and right!
With perfect coordination, it quickly pushes the loose soil dug out by its front paws backward, and its entire body is delicately balanced by only one hind paw, which greatly improves digging efficiency!

Dust filled the courtyard in an instant.

It looks like a miniature tunnel boring machine is working at full capacity!
Puff puff puff——

Less than ten seconds.

Under the stunned gazes of Chen Nian and the viewers in the live stream, a standard foxhole large enough to completely enclose Little Grey's entire body suddenly appeared before their eyes!
Chen Nian leaned closer to take a look.

"Wow! It's not small!"

Little Grey squatted at the bottom of the pit, only its dusty little head and a pair of alert eyes showing.

Its grayish-brown fur blended perfectly with the color of the surrounding soil.

If it hadn't made that move, it would have been almost impossible to detect that a top-notch 'highland hunter' was lurking here!
Meow~
After demonstrating it once, Little Grey leaped lightly out of the pit.

Then, he skillfully shook his body, flicking off the mud and debris that covered him, before squatting down to the side and looking at Xue Aotian beside him.

Your turn, show us!

Seeing this, Chen Nian knew exactly what Little Grey was going to teach her.

Dig!

The desert cat lives on grasslands and its main prey is the plateau mole.

Because the plateau mole lives underground its entire life, the desert cat has evolved an extremely strong digging ability, which allows it to use its strong forepaws to quickly dig through the soil and directly attack the prey's nest!

Which company is best at field excavation?
Searching for wild cats on the Chinese plateau!
The ability to dig is one of the most core and unique survival skills of the desert cat.

This is unmatched by other felines. Snow leopards roam grasslands and also dig burrows.

But ultimately, it can't compare to professionals.

Therefore, if Xue Aotian can learn this skill, its hunting range will have more possibilities, which is a good thing!
Chen Nian did not stop her.

Instead, he looked at Xue Aotian with anticipation.

"Go, Xue Aotian! Use Dig!"

Hum!
Under the watchful eyes of his dad and teacher, Xue Aotian tilted his little head, seemingly trying hard to recall every detail he had just seen.

Then it followed suit and began 'construction' on the land in front of it.

He would dig for a while, then stop, tilt his head, and think for a moment before continuing to dig.

Those tiny, delicate paws were anything but hesitant!
The area and scale of the dust it stirred up were in no way inferior to that of Little Grey.

Hum!
Only when Xue Aotian was satisfied did it finally stop, let out a cry, and then squatted down next to its 'victory' with its little chest puffed out and its little head held high with pride.

A micro-expression that says, "Come praise me!"

When the dust settled and Chen Nian came over to take a look, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Since it was its first time trying this, the little snow leopard didn't know the trick and had no concept of 'vertical downwards' at all. It just scratched the ground indiscriminately, digging here and scratching there.

One operation is as fierce as a tiger!

Upon closer inspection, it's standing still!

"Okay... this should barely qualify as a low point, not bad, not bad~ huge room for improvement!"

Chen Nian offered a consolation prize.

Next to it was a large pit dug by Little Grey, which contrasted sharply with the low-lying area where Xue Aotian had scraped a layer of ground.

The live stream chat was immediately filled with "hahaha".

"On Mining Techniques: From Beginner to Abandonment"

"Young Master: Look! I scratched the earth!"

"Master Grey: Silence is Cambridge tonight."

Little Grey didn't gloat like these "bad guys"; it was a patient and good teacher.

While Xue Aotian was still immersed in the joy of the shallow pit it had created and had not yet had time to carry out the cruel comparative damage, it took the initiative to walk to a new piece of land next to it.

Meow.

Puff puff puff——

Another cloud of dust rose!
When the engrossed Little Grey looked up, he didn't see his student Xue Aotian.

Meow?
Am I even a student?!
Hum!
The cat-shaped 'mound' beside it gave a muffled response.

It turned out that Little Grey had kicked the soil too hard, and a handful of dirt had accurately "accidentally" injured Xue Aotian, who was standing too close and watching too intently. Before the little guy could react, he was buried upside down, with only the tip of his little tail sticking out.

Meow!

Little Grey quickly jumped out of the pit.

He sniffed the small mound of earth to make sure Xue Aotian was alright before letting out a sigh of relief and then giving up his spot to Xue Aotian.

Chen Nian and the others standing nearby were laughing hysterically!
Xue Aotian didn't care that his teacher was trying to "trap" him.

After shaking off the dirt, it excitedly went to the side of pit number 2.

This time it learned its lesson!
After digging for a while, they would stop to take a look at Little Grey's work, learn from the teacher's scratches, and combine them with the techniques they had just learned.

In the end, it actually dug a small hole five centimeters deep!

It was still rudimentary.
But compared to the previous 'scratching of the ground', this is a leap forward!

So when Xue Aotian, his beard covered in mud, jumped out of the small pit with a smug look on his face and looked at his teacher expectantly.

Little Grey nodded almost imperceptibly.

Children can be taught!
Meow! (Continue!)
Oops! (Yes, teacher!)
Soon, the two children, one big and one small, resumed their digging practice.

Chen Nian was initially enjoying this incredibly cute lesson, but as the dust in the courtyard thickened and the space to step dwindled, pits of varying depths and shapes, some standard and some abstract, spread across the yard like the surface of the moon.
The smile on his face vanished.

No, the smile won't disappear.

Instead, it shifted to the faces of the cat lovers in the live stream.

"Hahaha! I'd believe you if you told me this was the scene of a meteorite impact!"

"Just arrived, does Teacher Chen have a husky now?"

(Let's all find the cat!)
