Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Seeing Yuanzai's eyes suddenly light up, Lin Chen was speechless.

Is this a perverted bear?

Lin Chen rubbed his forehead.

So, after being beaten, teased, and chased all day, what finally made this guy submit was roast chicken and a mother bear?

He took a deep breath and suddenly felt a bit absurd.

But Yuanzai had already slowly walked to his feet, rubbed its big, fluffy head against Lin Chen's leg, and made a coaxing whimper in its throat.

The obsequious manner and practiced movements clearly showed that he had done this to the zookeepers quite a bit during his time at the zoo.

Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated.

But I was also genuinely delighted—no matter what, once it was subdued, it was subdued.

He patted Yuanzai's head: "Alright, be a little lecherous, at least be obedient."

The sky was already dark.

The man and the bear walked back like that.

Lin Chen was too lazy to run himself, so he jumped onto Yuanzai's back and let it carry him while he pointed the way.

Although Yuanzai was unhappy about being used as a mount, he endured it for the sake of the roast chicken and the mother bear!

Run all the way.

When Yuanzai carried Lin Chen into the outer city of Shanshui Garden, it attracted countless exclamations and surprised glances.

"Holy crap, that's... a giant panda?!"

"Has Lord Lin tamed a mutated beast to use as a mount?"

"It's a national treasure! It's a national treasure!"

"Given Lord Lin's current strength, I wouldn't be surprised if he did anything."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all eyes following the man and the bear.

Someone muttered under their breath, "I heard the inner city's forces killed several thousand Tier 3 mutated beasts today?"

The person next to him immediately chimed in, "Not just that! There's a girl in my group whose sister's classmate is from the inner city, and she said it herself! More than three thousand!"

"Lord Lin has tamed another giant panda mutant beast as his battle pet... This sanctuary is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone is getting safer and safer!"

"Yeah," someone sighed, a hint of melancholy in their voice, "the zombies are getting stronger and stronger. It's getting harder and harder for us ordinary people to survive."

"I can only do cleaning and bunker building work, barely making ends meet."

"Be content," an older survivor whispered. "I've heard from many people who fled from the north of the city that the ordinary people in those small shelters are almost all dead. Only the women with some looks are still surviving..."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone around him knew what he was going to say.

Everyone fell silent. In this apocalypse, human life is as worthless as grass!

Lin Chen led Yuanzai all the way to the canteen of the underground shelter.

When the man and the bear appeared at the cafeteria entrance, the entire restaurant fell silent for a moment.

Then it exploded.

Countless girls who were eating put down their bowls and chopsticks and screamed as they surrounded the restaurant.

"Oh my god! It's a giant panda!"

"Brother Lin really brought it back!"

"So cute!"

Jiang Yingyue was the first to rush forward.

She kept circling around Yuanzai, her eyes shining like two little suns: "Wow! Brother Lin! You really did it! You really brought the giant panda back!"

Surrounded by so many people, Yuanzi instinctively felt a little uncomfortable. When he saw Jiang Yingyue getting too close, he subconsciously bared his teeth.

"Ah—!" Jiang Yingyue was so startled that she jumped back and almost fell over.

Lin Chen slapped Yuanzai on the head.

"Don't show your teeth." His tone wasn't harsh, but Yuanzai could sense the unquestionable tone. "This is one of your mistresses, remember that? If you do this again, the roast chicken will be halved."

Yuanzai immediately let out two pitiful whimpers and shrank back.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingyue became bolder again, cautiously approached, and reached out to touch Yuanzai's fur.

"So soft!" she exclaimed. "It's so soft!"

Li Ya also came over.

Then came Jiang Yingxue. Usually quiet, she couldn't help but approach and gently stroke Yuanzai's back.

Su Yun also arrived, standing not far away with a smile on her lips.

"Brother Lin," Jiang Yingyue looked up, "what's its name? Why does it look so much like that Yuanzi we went to see before?"

"...I think so?"

"It definitely is!" Jiang Yingyue's eyes lit up even more. "It's our Guangzhou's celebrity panda!"

She immediately pulled out her phone and started taking pictures with Jiang Yingxue. Since there was no internet connection, taking photos wasn't affected.

"Sister, stand here! Yes! I'll stand next to Yuanzai! Quick, take a picture!"

"One more picture! I want to touch its ears!"

"This one! This one! I'm holding its paw!"

Before long, Lin Chen was completely squeezed out of the crowd.

He looked at Li Ya, Su Yun, Jiang Yingyue, Jiang Yingxue, and the other girls.

They circled around Yuanzai, striking various poses, their phones flashing incessantly.

Yuanzi looked utterly dejected and extremely aggrieved.

She occasionally glanced back at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with "Save me."

Lin Chen shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.

He walked to the table next to him, sat down, and began to eat.

More than an hour later.

"Alright, alright." Lin Chen finally put down his chopsticks and stood up. "There will be plenty of time to take photos in the future. Yuanzi hasn't eaten yet."

Jiang Yingyue immediately exclaimed, "Oh no! Yuanzi hasn't eaten yet?"

She turned to Lin Chen, her face filled with anxiety: "Brother Lin, quickly bring some bamboo! Yuanzi must be starving!"

Lin Chen: "..."

He was silent for two seconds.

I don't have any bamboo.

Jiang Yingyue was stunned: "Huh? What will Yuanzai eat then? Won't it go hungry?"

Lin Chen said helplessly, "It's a mutated beast now. I subdued it with roast chicken."

Then she slowly realized what was happening.

"Brother Lin, you mean... Yuanzi wants to eat meat?"

"Of course," Lin Chen nodded.

Lin Chen added, "I tamed it by feeding it fifteen roast chickens every day and promising to find it a mate."

Jiang Yingyue looked incredulous: "Then why did it used to gnaw on bamboo every day?"

Lin Chen said, "That's a result of evolution, but it can eat meat too. Remember, it's a bear, a ferocious beast, not Hello Kitty. Don't be fooled by its cute appearance."

Jiang Yingyue nodded thoughtfully.

Then she turned to Lin Chen and held out her hand: "Brother Lin, give me some meat, I'll feed it to Yuanzai."

Lin Chen took out a piece of cooked beef from his spatial storage and handed it to her.

Yuanzi's eyes lit up the moment he saw the piece of beef.

Although it had already eaten its fill, it was indeed a little hungry after traveling all the way.

It approached carefully, took the beef, and then lay down on the ground to begin its hearty meal.

Jiang Yingyue squatted down beside it, watching it eat, her face full of happiness.

Lin Chen turned to Su Yun: "Sister Yun, arrange a place for it to live, make it a comfortable nest."

Su Yun nodded: "Okay."

Lin Chen then looked at Li Ya.

"How was your day?"

Li Ya retrieved her notebook and began her report:

"A total of 3125 Tier 3 mutated beasts and zombie beasts were hunted today."

She paused, then continued, "Of those, 245 were killed by the military. The other 2880 were killed by our people."
