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

In the ruins of the valley, a night wind blows, stirring up wood chips and dust all over the ground.

After counting the number of people, Lin Wan looked at the large group of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in front of her and was so worried that she kept scratching her head.

Old Wang had just crawled out of that disgusting tree tumor. Although he had recovered quite a bit of his physical functions as a result of the misfortune, he was still a man in his sixties. Coupled with the severe mental shock he had suffered, his legs were now weak, and he only managed to stay upright because Lin Wan was supporting him.

Then look at the line of little animals behind them.

Golden monkeys, clouded leopard cubs, and several newly weaned wild boars all hunched over like quails, their legs trembling, too weak to even walk.

"Director Wang, can you still walk?" Lin Wan asked worriedly.

Old Wang gave a wry smile and waved his hand: "Xiao Lin, strangely enough, my leg doesn't hurt anymore, but I feel weak all over. This Qinling Mountains are so deep and remote, there's not even a place to put my feet. I'm afraid I really won't be able to get out."

Undeterred, Lin Wan pulled out her walkie-talkie, but all she could hear was a crackling electrical noise; she couldn't even get a ghost out.

The magnetic field in these deep mountains is already chaotic, and just now Tuantuan fought with that demonic tree spirit; probably all the signal towers within a ten-mile radius are now destroyed. Calling for help now? Absolutely impossible.

next to.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: These fragile two-legged creatures are such a handful! They can't help when fighting, and I have to clean up their messes afterwards. I should have absorbed less spiritual energy earlier and saved some stamina.

He slumped to the ground and impatiently rubbed his round belly.

Right now, all he can think about is going back to the police station, sitting in the 17-degree air conditioning, eating Old Ma's stewed goose in an iron pot. To breathe in even a breath of cold air in this wretched mountain valley would be a grave desecration of his national treasure status!

Li Tuantuan turned her head and stared intently at the white mastiff "Mantou" standing straight beside her.

This dog is big enough and looks sturdy, making it a perfect mount for carrying an old man.

Li Tuantuan raised her chin at the steamed bun, stretched out her bear paw, and pointed at Lao Wang with ill intent.

"Woof?" Mantou suddenly took two steps back, its white fur standing on end.

It's a magnificent SSS-class Icefield White Mastiff! Born to reign supreme! And now it's being used as a mount by a frail old human?!

Its eyes were filled with humiliation and resistance.

Li Tuantuan rolled her eyes. "Trying to pull this on me?"

He casually pulled out a handful of [Top-Grade Healing God Dog Food] from his system space and waved it right under Mantou's nose.

The rich aroma of meat instantly shattered the mythical beast's bottom line.

Mantou swallowed hard, its noble head instantly lowered, and it not only walked up to Old Wang and lay down properly, but even wagged its tail obsequiously twice.

He's definitely a typical wage earner.

"This...this is unacceptable!" Old Wang waved his hands repeatedly in fright. "This is a divine dog! How could an old man like me be worthy of riding it!"

Lin Wan also felt this was inappropriate and quickly stopped him: "Tuantuan, stop fooling around. Mantou got beaten up a lot while saving people and is still injured. Besides, besides Wang Suo, there's a bunch of wild cubs behind them. One dog can't carry them all."

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: So annoying! Why is it so hard to get off work!

Li Tuantuan scratched her ear in frustration, closed her eyes, and opened the system panel in her mind.

Looking at the more than 20,000 merit points that had just surged in the upper right corner, Li Tuantuan instantly felt more confident.

If you have money, you need to broaden your horizons!

He quickly browsed through the system's shop, his eyes instantly locking onto a skill book that radiated golden light.

【Size-Up (Beginner Version)】: Consumes 1000 merit points, allowing you to freely enlarge or shrink your size to three times its original size within ten minutes. Cooldown time: 24 hours.

It's it!

Li Tuantuan gritted her teeth and decisively clicked to redeem. Although a thousand merit points were a bit painful, this was a rigid need to improve her travel conditions, so she had to invest even if it was painful!

A golden light, visible only to him, rapidly coursed through his body.

Li Tuantuan slowly stood up, walked to an open space, and took a deep breath.

"roar--!"

A deep, resonant roar rolled out from his throat.

Immediately afterward, under the horrified gazes of Lin Wan and Lao Wang, Li Tuantuan's body began to swell wildly at a visible speed, like an inflating balloon!

Its original 300-pound size instantly increased in height. Its black and white fur became as thick and hard as steel needles, and its limbs became as thick as four pillars supporting the sky.

Just three seconds!

A giant panda, over five meters long and nearly three meters tall, resembled a moving black and white mountain of flesh, crashing solidly in front of everyone.

Just by standing there, he blocked out most of the moonlight, looking exactly like a heavy biological armored vehicle!

Lin Wan froze on the spot, her brain completely shut down.

"Tuan...Tuan Tuan?" she stammered, feeling as if her worldview had been repeatedly rubbed into the ground.

The enormous bear head slowly lowered, approaching Lin Wan, and exhaled a warm white breath from its nostrils.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: Never seen such cool genuine leather and pure fur seats before? Don't just stand there, get in the car! I'm in a hurry to get back for a late-night snack!

He bent his front legs, and his huge body lay obediently on the ground, stretching out his furry bear paws, as big as a door panel, and patted his broad, flat back in an extremely human-like manner.

Lin Wan swallowed hard, finally coming to her senses.

"Wang, hurry! Tuan Tuan, let us go up!"

Old Wang was completely stunned. The largest living creature he had ever seen in his life was the Asian elephant in the zoo, but this giant panda in front of him was even more imposing than a tiny elephant!

"Will this... will this work?" Old Wang asked tremblingly, afraid that the giant beast might get angry and chew him up like a snack.

"Hurry up! Tuantuan is impatient, he'll get angry soon!" Without saying a word, Lin Wan dragged Lao Wang onto Li Tuantuan's back.

I must say, Li Tuantuan's back is incredibly spacious. The hair is thick and soft, and sinking into it is a hundred times more comfortable than the highest-end Simmons mattress on the market.

Lin Wan then nimbly climbed up as well, and sat steadily behind Lao Wang to protect him.

Upon seeing this, the treasure-hunting mouse "Golden Bean"'s little eyes lit up, and with a "whoosh," it transformed into a golden streak and darted forward. It skillfully found the most comfortable spot on the back of its neck to lie down, its two little front paws still tightly clutching the large sack full of spoils, adhering to the principle of keeping its wealth hidden.

The crow "Coal Ball" flapped its injured wings and landed directly on Li Tuantuan's forehead, between his two ears, acting as a panoramic sunroof version of "biological radar".

As for the surviving wild animals, they were so frightened by the giant panda that they wanted to disappear into the ground.

But after a few impatient barks from "working dog" Mantou, they immediately lined up obediently and cautiously climbed to the tail end of Li Tuantuan's back.

In no time, Li Tuantuan's back was crowded with all sorts of creatures, making it practically a mobile miniature Qinling ecological park.

"Are you all seated securely?" Lin Wan called out anxiously.

Li Tuantuan ignored her and stood up very steadily with a sudden burst of strength from the four thick pillar legs.

From this 5-meter-high vantage point, one can instantly see all the mountains below.

"Awoo!" Li Tuantuan winked at the steamed bun on the ground.

Mantou understood instantly. It immediately took off on its four long legs, transforming into an "infrastructure maniac," violently clearing the way at the forefront. When it encountered thick fallen trees or boulders blocking its path, this white mastiff simply smashed them with a single paw, forcefully pushing open a wide road through the otherwise impassable dense forest.

Li Tuantuan hummed contentedly, took a step forward, and followed behind as steadily as Mount Tai.

Despite its enormous size, the pads on its feet provided perfect shock absorption. It made absolutely no sound when it stepped on the ground, demonstrating the terrifying muscle control of a top predator.

The night wind whistled past my ears.

Old Wang settled comfortably into the pure wool chair, feeling its smooth, flat surface, and his eyes welled up with tears again.

"Xiao Lin, we're incredibly lucky to have received such good fortune, thanks to this national treasure! My life, Old Wang, has been truly worthwhile!"

Lin Wan stroked the soft, warm fur on Li Tuantuan's back and couldn't help but mentally rant.

This isn't raising pandas; it's clearly finding a powerful patron who can fight, show off, and drive you around like a luxury car!
