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

It was late at night, and the special police dormitory building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was quiet.

Li Tuantuan lay comfortably on the reinforced and widened Simmons bed, turning over in contentment. This bed was bought with funds Lin Wan had specially applied for for him; it was said to be able to support 500 pounds, enough for him to dance on.

The moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating his round belly.

After confirming that all the doors and windows were locked and Lin Wan had gone back to the dormitory next door to sleep, Li Tuantuan closed her eyes and called out to the system in her mind.

"System, come out and greet the guests."

[The Supreme Merit Panda System is at your service. Host, please watch your wording; this is a legitimate system.]

A pale blue light screen appeared before Li Tuantuan's eyes.

"Enough talk, open the panel, I need to check the accounts."

[Host: Li Tuantuan (Gungun)]

[Race: Giant Panda (Intelligence Awakened)]

[Position: Unofficial Special Police Officer at Qinling Police Station / Special Operations Specialist at Municipal Public Security Bureau (Deputy Division Chief Level Salary)]

[Physical condition: Healthy (slightly overweight, dietary control recommended)]

Merit Points: 19800

[Skills already possessed: Grandmaster-level combat skills, Iron Skin (Intermediate), Beast Language Mastery, Beast Domination (Beginner), Firearms Mastery (Theoretical only)]

[Mall Permissions: Intermediate]

Looking at that string of numbers, Li Tuantuan felt a surge of joy.

Almost 20,000!

This is all the hard-earned money he's made from catching thieves, fighting human traffickers, and filming anti-fraud videos.

Especially in that last transnational drug trafficking case, although he was only responsible for killing the drug lord in the end, he still received a large amount of merit points.

If I didn't have a craving for snacks and frequently exchange merit points for them in the system, I'd probably have over 30000 merit points by now!

"System, I want to make a purchase!" Li Tuantuan shouted with great enthusiasm.

[What would you like to exchange, host?]

Recommended Products:

1. Titanium Alloy Panda Exoskeleton Armor (Left Arm) - 50000 points

2. Basic Revitalization Guidance - 100000 points

3. Premium Milk Pudding (Unlimited Refills) - 2000 Points

Li Tuantuan rolled her eyes as she looked at the exorbitantly priced goods.

Armor is unaffordable, and cultivating immortality is too far-fetched. While endless refills of milk are tempting, conjuring milk out of thin air in this place with surveillance everywhere would be too easy to expose.

What is his core pain point right now?

It's not that we're not strong enough, nor that we don't have enough to eat.

It's so frustrating!

It's something I can't say!

Just like this afternoon, he clearly wanted to tell Lin Wan "I want to drink iced cola", but after gesturing for a long time, Lin Wan brought him a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

Who understands that kind of despair?

Although he possesses [Mastery of Beast Language], allowing him to understand the languages ​​of all beasts and communicate with them, humans cannot understand him!

In this human-dominated society, being unable to communicate is a fatal flaw if you're just trying to get a government job.

Li Tuantuan rolled around on the bed in frustration and picked up the iPad next to her.

This is his spiritual nourishment.

He skillfully swiped the screen with his paw and clicked into a short video app. Big data seemed to know him well, recommending nothing but videos of beautiful women dancing and food reviews.

While scrolling, a bizarre video popped up.

The title is: "The most foul-mouthed parrot on the internet, it can argue with its owner for half an hour without repeating itself."

In the video, a gray parrot is perched on a perch, yelling at the camera: "You little brat! Haven't you eaten? Get me some water! Get me some water! You think I won't peck you?!"

The standard of his pronunciation, the arrogance of his tone, and the clarity of his logic made him seem like a bird in disguise.

As Li Tuantuan looked at it, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Like a bolt of lightning in the night, it cleaved through his chaotic mind.

鸟！

A talking bird!

If I could recruit a talking bird as my underling, and then use the system to bless it and improve its intelligence, wouldn't I have a portable "simultaneous interpretation machine"?

Moreover, birds are small creatures; you can easily perch on someone's shoulder.

It can still fly!

In the future, when scouting enemy positions, there will be no need for me to huff and puff as I climb the stairs. I can simply send a bird to take a look and then report back.

This is the perfect "wingman"!

Li Tuantuan became more and more excited as she thought about it, and sat up straight in bed.

"System, do you have any potions in the shop that can make animals talk?"

[Answer to host: There is no such potion. However, the host's "Mastery of All Beasts" skill, combined with the "Merit Enlightenment" function, can awaken the intelligence of designated animals. If the animal is a bird that inherently possesses the ability to mimic human language (such as a parrot, myna, or hill myna), after its intelligence is awakened, it can quickly grasp human language logic and become the host's spokesperson.]

"That's enough!" Li Tuantuan slapped her thigh hard—though she slapped a thick layer of fat.

If you find a bird with good potential and give it some guidance, you can create a "bird whisperer".

Li Tuantuan began to conceive a plan in her mind.

A parrot? Too flashy, it doesn't suit his image as a high-ranking police officer.

A myna bird? It's a bit ugly.

Ideally, they should be someone who looks sophisticated, is smart, and can fight.

Never mind, I'm going to the flower and bird market tomorrow!

You must pick the one that looks best to you!

Li Tuantuan glanced at the clock on the wall; it was two in the morning.

Sleep! Recharge your energy!

For the sake of his upcoming life as a "mouth double," for the sake of being able to order food accurately in the future, and for the sake of being able to criticize Lin Wan to his face without being discovered (although this is a bit difficult), he is determined to get this bird!

Early the next morning.

As soon as Lin Wan pushed open the dormitory door, she saw a huge panda squatting at the entrance, holding an iPad with the video of the parrot cursing playing on the screen.

Upon seeing Lin Wan enter, Li Tuantuan immediately pointed to the bird on the screen, then to her own ear, and opened her mouth wide, making several strange noises.

"quack?"

Lin Wan was stunned.

Looking into Li Tuantuan's expectant eyes, she tentatively asked, "You want to eat roast pigeon?"

Li Tuantuan almost couldn't catch her breath.

He shook his head frantically, pointed at the screen, then made a flapping wing flying motion, finally pointed at his own mouth, and then at Lin Wan's mouth.

Lin Wan frowned and thought for a long time: "Do you want to fly? Or... do you want to raise a bird?"

Li Tuantuan was instantly moved to tears and nodded frantically.

I finally understand!

This pet owner's IQ has finally kicked in for once!
