Chapter 49: The Protagonist Appears?!
[Mission activated: Eliminate the mutated rats!]
[Mission Description: Post-apocalyptic rats live underground and are extremely resilient. After their bodies mutate, they carry a large number of bacteria and are extremely difficult to kill. Please eliminate 10 mutated rats.]
[Mission Reward: Exoskeleton Device, which greatly increases running speed when worn on the legs.]
[Note: Battle pets can assist in completing tasks.]
New tasks pop up from time to time.
Xu Ran was busy registering a video account on her phone when a series of messages appeared on the panel.
He glanced through it briefly.
"Another freebie mission. I don't even need to lift a finger; the owl can handle it."
"Since there's no deadline, we can take our time."
"The reward is an exoskeleton device, which is installed on the legs and greatly increases running speed."
"He looks like Red Wolf from the Delta Force game."
"It's not very practical, but it's post-apocalyptic technology after all, so it's not bad to play around with it."
"It would be great if there were a full set of post-apocalyptic mechs in the future."
Xu Ran was making plans in her mind.
He is now researching another thing, which is what Wang Hai suggested before: shooting some short videos, becoming a video blogger, and focusing on farms and pets.
This place is practically a natural filming location.
With so many adorable pets, filming some cute and funny stories about them could potentially go viral.
It's a good thing to accumulate some fans and earn some pocket money.
If it becomes a huge hit, earning millions a year would be a breeze.
Once the account is registered, it will be called "Xu Ran and His Farm," a very simple name.
The simpler it is, the easier it is to remember.
Running a farm is not easy these days; you have to find all sorts of ways to make money from this land.
"The first video is more important; we need to find a main character."
"It would be best to film something interesting."
Xu Ran looked at Little Grey.
Getting Little Grey to perform a few commands isn't difficult, but there are just too many smart pets online.
Some dogs even defy the natural order and can use commands to train their owners.
The smart pet market is already packed.
It's easier said than done.
Ideas are usually wonderful, but when you actually start doing them, you realize that every step is difficult.
The little ones are still happy.
Lately, they've been spending a lot of time near the sunflower field.
Chasing butterflies and teasing bees, Little Grey originally wanted to eat bees, but Xu Ran saw it once and made it vomit and told it that it couldn't eat them, so Little Grey never ate them again.
Some dogs are curious about everything.
Eating bees is one thing, after all, bees are innocent and harmless and not very aggressive.
They even eat wasps; their mouths are so swollen from the stings that they look like two big steamed buns.
Xu Ran had to teach Xiao Hui to overcome this bad habit.
Just as I was thinking about what to film, I suddenly heard Li Wu shout:
"Ran-ge, Ran-ge, the giant pandas are here!"
"Hey, come here right now!"
Upon hearing the shout, Xu Ran immediately looked towards the gate.
All they could see was a round, chubby panda, taking carefree little steps as it ran towards Xu Ran.
The farm workers didn't dare approach; they all hid by the wall and watched.
Wang Hai and Zhao Shan were seeing giant pandas for the first time, and they were so amazed that they kept exclaiming, "Holy crap, holy crap!"
Xu Ran immediately smiled.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"
"That chubby boy, he really knows how to pick his timing!"
Just as I was thinking about what to film for my first video, the giant panda arrived.
It's as if they knew there was a filming today and rushed over to be the main character.
This guy is a real lucky charm!
Xu Ran immediately took out her phone and aimed it at the giant panda to take a picture:
"Little Fatty, you're here again."
He felt that filming like this wasn't appropriate, so he simply called Li Wu over:
"Li Wu, help me film a few videos."
Xu Ran handed over the phone.
Seeing the giant panda nearby, Li Wu didn't dare go over and quickly said, "Brother Ran, I have a phone, I can just take pictures from the side."
"Alright."
Xu Ran nodded.
The giant panda came up to Xu Ran, nudged him with its head, and greeted him.
Xu Ran quickly put down her phone and patted its head.
"Want to eat an apple?"
"Don't worry, the farm has everything."
"I have plenty of food here."
Xu Ran understood its emotions and said with a smile.
There is very little food in the mountains. Although there are bamboo forests, you get tired of eating bamboo every day.
Giant pandas are omnivorous animals, similar to black bears, and can eat almost anything.
It hadn't eaten apples in a long time and missed them, so it came down the mountain.
National treasures can go wherever they want.
Xu Ran remembered that there was still some pet milk powder left, so he let the giant panda rest there for a while while he went to prepare food for it.
The giant panda was very cooperative, sitting quietly on the ground and waiting.
When Little Gray saw the giant panda arrive, it immediately ran over to greet it.
The giant pandas behaved very kindly and have integrated well into the farm environment.
Not long after, Xu Ran returned to the giant panda's side with two apples and a basin of milk.
He put down the bowl of milk and handed over the apple.
The giant panda happily shook its head, took the apple, and opened its mouth wide to eat it.
It made a "crunching" sound, looking exceptionally cheerful.
Xu Ran thought the scene was beautiful.
He took out his phone and filmed the scene.
The background is a field of blooming sunflowers.
The giant panda sat on the ground, tilting its head back and happily eating an apple.
The scene was indescribably adorable.
Not far away, Wang Hai mustered his courage and moved a little closer.
"Ran-ge really keeps pandas!"
Wang Hai asked in a low voice.
"Didn't I already tell you? You've seen the video too."
Li Wu replied.
"Who would believe this? Raising giant pandas is a life sentence. If Ran-ge gets arrested, will he ever come back?"
Wang Hai asked again, somewhat nervously.
"Don't worry about it. It's not like the police haven't come before."
Li Wu focused on taking photos and recording the event.
At this moment, Xu Ran turned around and called out to Zhang Wen:
"Zhang Wen, call Wu Jun at the police station and tell him the giant pandas are here again!"
"This needs to be reported!"
"Okay, I'll call now!" Zhang Wen picked up the phone and called the police.
in the country, giant pandas receive a great deal of attention, and it's impossible not to report them.
Let's hope they don't actually get arrested.
A recent example is that a farmer's herd of cattle got an extra calf. The woman thought it was just another mouth to feed, so she raised it with her herd for more than ten years.
The cow grew bigger and bigger, more and more powerful, and even grew white hair.
Later, when the older sister was herding cattle, she was noticed by patrol officers, who recognized her as a white-legged bison, a first-class protected animal.
So the older sister had no choice but to ask the patrol officers to release the animal.
After being released, the white-legged bison ran back to its older sister's house on its own that same day.
His face was completely speechless.
They have food, drink, and a community here, yet they're thrown into the wilderness by the patrol officers. Who could stand that?
After the patrol officers released the bison several times, the bison learned their lesson and became much smarter.
When he saw the police coming, he ran away, but after the police left, he sneaked back.
Experts say they will continue to try to release white-legged bison back into the wild.
White-legged bison: You guys are really something! I'm living a good life, with food and drink, and you insist on making me become a bison. Why don't you become wild men?
This is quite a hot topic.
The arrival of giant pandas on the farm, while deviating from this ideal scenario, is still reasonable.
Soon, police officer Wu Jun received a report.
"Are the giant pandas here again?"
"Okay, we'll be right there!"
"Old Zhang, is your farm some kind of auspicious place? Why do all sorts of wild animals flock to your farm?"
Wu Jun chatted casually with Zhang Wen on the phone.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen could only explain:
"It's probably because we've planted a lot of crops recently, so the animals have come over."
This explanation is reasonable.
The farm is doing quite well now and has gained some local fame.
