If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

The canteen at Taiping Town Police Station was brightly lit and bustling with activity tonight.

Old Ma, a master chef with over twenty years of experience, was shirtless, frantically tossing woks in the kitchen. Director Chen Jianguo had given a death order—even if they had to break down the doorstep of the town's only butcher shop, they had to buy up all the stock!

Ten stainless steel basins, each larger than a washbasin, were lined up on a long table. Inside were top-quality braised pork belly, glistening red and coated in a rich sauce. The irresistible aroma of the meat wafted through the exhaust fan, making even the stray dogs wandering the town drool.

"If Heaven hadn't given birth to Li Tuantuan, the world would have been plunged into eternal darkness!"

Li Tuantuan sat steadily at the specially made extra-large dining table, a white towel neatly tied around her neck. In her two thick, bear-like paws, she gripped a large stainless steel ladle that could be used as a shovel.

"Dinner's ready!" Chen Jianguo waved his hand.

A spoon? Absolutely not!

Li Tuantuan threw the spoon aside, picked up the stainless steel basin the size of a washbasin, and poured it directly into it, opening her abyssal maw.

"Glug! Glug!"

A whole pot of braised pork belly, transformed into a scalding hot carbohydrate bomb, was devoured in less than ten seconds. He even skipped the chewing step, prioritizing the original broth over the pork.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Awesome! This is the real life a bear should live! The spiritual energy of that damned demon tree deep in the Qinling Mountains was incredibly nourishing, but it tasted bland. Indeed, high-calorie carbohydrates and fats from humans are the perfect remedy to soothe the soul of a working bear!

He casually put down the empty bowl, let out a loud burp, and then picked up the second bowl.

The on-duty police officers watching nearby were utterly astonished.

"My goodness...is there a black hole inside his stomach?"

"This is a whole bunch of heavy food, weighing dozens of kilograms! If someone gets sick from overeating, our entire institute will have to go to the Forestry Bureau to apologize, right?"

Lin Wan skillfully handed him a bottle of soda, waving her hand with a smile: "Don't worry, our Tuantuan's stomach is made of titanium alloy. He's in the recharging phase, the more he eats, the more energetic he becomes."

Next to Li Tuantuan, the white mastiff "Mantou" also got its own extra-large iron basin.

The pot contained braised thigh bones that Old Ma had specially stewed for it, with large chunks of tender, mushy meat clinging to the bone.

The steamed bun sat upright in front of the basin, looking down at the dark, unidentified object that emitted a strong soy sauce aroma, and was caught in a deep dilemma.

You must understand, this is a proud and unyielding SSS-class Icefield Divine Beast! In the past, on the snowfields, it tore apart top-grade raw meat, still glistening with ice and blood. This mundane food, cooked at high temperatures by humans and adorned with a bunch of fancy spices, is simply a desecration of its divine bloodline!

It hesitated and turned its head, just in time to meet Li Tuantuan, who was frantically showing off her food.

In the midst of the chaos, Li Tuantuan pulled her head out of the pile of meat and glared at it fiercely.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: What are you looking at? Hurry up and show off! This is a public-funded work meal that I risked my life to earn! If you dare to waste a single drop of soup, I'll clean house for you right now!

As she spoke, Li Tuantuan made a gesture as if to reach her large bear paw into the bowl of steamed buns.

This is outrageous!

The instinct to protect its food instantly overwhelmed any semblance of divine beast dignity. The steamed bun panicked, plunged headfirst into the basin, opened its gaping maw capable of crushing rocks, and bit down on a large bone.

"Snap!"

The large bone shattered with a crack. The rich broth of the braised pork, mixed with the exquisite aroma of the bone marrow, created a flavor explosion in the steamed bun's mouth.

Mantou's icy blue beast eyes widened instantly.

Holy crap! What kind of heavenly flavor is this?!

Compared to this, the dry, tough snow rabbit meat I used to eat was like chewing newspaper!

The burden of the mythical beast? It was thrown back to Siberia long ago!

The "law of deliciousness" is forever true! The steamed bun went completely berserk, munching away on meat and bones with gusto, making a loud crunching sound. Its usually proud and upright white tail was now wagging like a helicopter propeller about to take off.

Old Ma, wiping his hands beside him, grinned from ear to ear: "Slow down, there's still some left in the pot! This dog is really energetic, way better than those purebred German Shepherds at our city police dog base!"

The treasure-hunting rat "Golden Bean" and the crow "Coal Ball" were also busy nearby.

Jin Dou hugged a piece of braised pork that was bigger than its own head, gnawing on it with its mouth full of oil and squeaking loudly.

Although Coal Ball is a bird, it has a strange obsession with braised pork. It barely maintains its balance with its intact wing, its sharp beak striking with precision like a chick pecking at rice, eating with surprising elegance. However, this creature's beak is never idle.

[Coal Ball's telepathic message]: Tsk, Boss's eating manners are truly vulgar, an insult to refinement. Also, the braised pork was slightly overcooked, and the caramelized sugar had a slightly bitter taste; it's missing something...

Li Tuantuan keenly caught the mental rant in her mind.

"Snapped!"

A 300-pound bear paw slammed heavily on the table, making the empty bowls on the table vibrate and hum.

Li Tuantuan narrowed her eyes, her cold gaze fixed on the coal ball, and slowly grinned, revealing two rows of fangs that gleamed with a chilling light.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: You freeloader and you dare to be a keyboard warrior and nitpick? If you say another word, I'll have the kitchen add a dish tomorrow, and the name of the dish will be Chicken Stew with Crow!

The black fur all over Coal Ball bristled instantly. Startled, it shrank its neck and buried its head in the pile of meat, frantically digging for food, not daring to utter a single fart.

This meal took more than an hour to prepare.

Ten whole pots of braised pork, not a single scrap of meat was left; it all went into the stomachs of Li Tuantuan and his gang.

Li Tuantuan sprawled out in the king-size chair, comfortably rubbing her round belly and letting out a satisfied bubble. Comfortable—this was the life she wanted to live with a broader perspective.

At this moment, Chen Jianguo walked over with a smile, holding an official document in his hand, and handed it to Lin Wan, who was wiping Li Tuantuan's mouth.

"Xiao Lin, you guys really turned the tide this time in the mountains. The Municipal Bureau Party Committee held a meeting overnight and decided to award you a first-class merit!" Chen Jianguo said, his gaze falling on Li Tuantuan, who was lying flat, with a very complicated expression. "As for our Gun Gun... its situation is really too far beyond what is expected. The higher-ups are studying how to implement benefits for it."

Chen Jianguo lowered his voice and patted his chest to assure him, "But you can rest assured about one thing: the bottom line for the benefits of a deputy director-level official will absolutely not be broken! This is a precious asset for our entire province!"

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Wan's eyes, and she nodded vigorously. Actually, she didn't ask for anything right now, as long as she could continue being the cat's owner and see that Tuan Tuan was safe and sound.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, her blood sugar spiked rapidly, and Li Tuantuan's yawns brought tears to her eyes.

He swayed as he stood up, walked over to Lin Wan, and tugged at her trouser leg with his furry paws.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Hurry up, human, go back to the dorm and go to sleep! All I want to do right now is stay in that extra-long Simmons bed until dawn!

Lin Wan immediately understood, greeted Chen Jianguo, and led Li Tuantuan towards their private dormitory in the backyard.

Mantou followed behind with extreme self-awareness, scanning his surroundings warily, looking every bit like a royal bodyguard with a sword.

As night deepened, the Taiping Town Police Station finally enjoyed a long-awaited tranquility.

however.

Amidst Li Tuantuan's sweet snoring, he was unaware that the horrifying livestream clip of the "five-meter-tall black and white mountain of flesh" had completely ignited the servers across the entire internet.

A super storm targeting this "divine giant panda" has only just begun.
