Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Recently, the center was too busy to conduct tests on the little cat.

Chen Ying thought it over and contacted a professor at the Agricultural University who specialized in research on animal limb movement behavior.

Once the professor learned about the issues with the Golden Cat Cub, he agreed for Chen to bring the cub for some relevant tests.

The report required Chen Ying to take action, and the university lab was responsible for receiving and caring for the Golden Cat Cub.

With someone reliable to take care of the cub, Little Jin felt much lighter.

It told Chen Ying that after the little cat left, it would also go out for a stroll.

They agreed that once the report was approved, Chen Ying would come and pick up the little cub. Little Jin excitedly ran off and caught a Mao Guan Deer Baby, wanting the little cub to gain some more weight before leaving.

Little Jin tore open the skin of the Mao Guan Deer's neck, and the little cub came over to tear up the tender meat together.

"Wow, you two are eating well. I was worried you were hungry, so I brought this specially for you both."

Jinya's voice sounded, with a huge fat wild rabbit under her paws.

Little Jin immediately jumped over and licked Jinya's cheek, tossed down the wild rabbit, and let the little cub tear into the rabbit meat while it began to tear more of the Mao Guan Deer's skin for Jinya to eat first.

While the three were feasting here, a puzzled voice came from overhead.

"May I ask how you two managed to have a cub?"

The Clouded Leopard, which hadn't been seen in a while, emerged from somewhere and lay on a high branch looking at them, its face full of an inner-questioning that even its fur couldn't hide.

The Clouded Leopard seemed to have gotten fatter again, apparently having already put on a layer of fat for the winter.

Jinya didn't even look up while eating.

She had been frolicking too long with her brother, and on her way back she had wandered around the territory, marking it, now starving enough to swallow a sheep.

Why talk when eating was more important?

Little Jin didn't eat, lifting its head to watch the Clouded Leopard, wary of any sudden attacks on the cub and Jinya.

The Clouded Leopard glanced at them, did not get an answer, and didn't pester.

"I've patrolled the territory and found that recently a lot of predators from the southwest are testing the boundaries. You two be careful."

The Clouded Leopard glanced at the messily eating little cub, with a disdainful gaze.

"It's best not to have children if you're not from the same species. Look at your family's cub; isn't its brain a bit slow? Otherwise, just abandon it."

For wild animals like the Golden Cat Cub, such a child was destined not to survive in the jungle; what's the point of raising it with so much effort? Instead of that, they might as well eat well, expand their territory, and wait for next year's breeding season to have a litter of healthy cubs.

Although Jinya looked like a naïve sweet girl, she was very protective. Hearing the Clouded Leopard disdain her cub, she didn't hesitate to climb the tree, wanting to hit it.

No matter how poor her own cub was, even if it wasn't her own, it was still her treasure. If they couldn't take care of it, there was always the Two-legged beast she could ask for help.

Why should Black and White Bear be well cared for by the Two-legged beast, and not their cub?

Chen Ying, unaware of what was happening in the forest, had walked around and returned to his own room at the rescue station, preparing to start writing the application.

The Golden Cat Cub's situation might be a bit complicated, not something that can be determined just by the naked eye.

Although sending it to the professor at Agricultural University might require some complicated tests that could scare the Golden Cat Cub, overall, it was the best choice for the cub.

If there really was a problem and it wasn't suited for jungle life, at least it could still secure a spot in a zoo.

After writing the application, he made a call to Director Bai, communicated some detail adjustments, and then clicked send.

Director Bai said the approval would probably come by tomorrow afternoon.

The center had handled many such cases, and if it could be confirmed that there was a problem with the Golden Cat Cub, the report would not be sent back.

Chen Ying attached two thirty-second videos taken with a smartphone when he sent the report.

It showed the Little Golden Cat cub trying to pounce on prey under Little Jin's guidance.

When stationary, the cub seemed fine; during playtime, it was unnoticeable too, but when pouncing at the prey, one could see its aim was completely off.

The other video featured Chen Ying trying to coax the cub to walk across a beam, but after a few steps, the Little Golden Cat cub lost its balance and fell to the ground.

He also sent the video to a professor at the Agricultural University.

Within ten minutes, the professor called him.

"Little Chen, I've seen the video, and preliminarily, this cub seems to have clear motor impairments. As for the cause of its coordination issues, we need further examination. Based on your earlier description, personally, I think it's likely that the original poacher's violent capture and improper transport may have caused brain damage to the cub."

Of course, this was just an initial assessment; the specifics would need an instrumental examination to ascertain.

However, this assessment aligned essentially with the diagnosis Chen Ying made through Traditional Veterinary Medicine techniques.

He too believed the cub's coordination disorder was related to being abandoned carelessly by the poacher.

Deeply sighing, Chen Ying pushed open the window and leaned on the windowsill to look out at the forest.

He thought he glimpsed something out of the corner of his eye, but before he could take a closer look, Jinya suddenly popped her head up from below the windowsill.

Chen Ying leaned back slightly and saw Little Jin behind Jinya, carrying the cub by the nape of its neck, walking over from the wooded bridge atop the warehouse.

"We brought over the cub first. That young tiger said a fierce beast has come from the southwest; we need to go check it out, and it's inconvenient with the cub."

Jinya sloppily licked the Golden Cat cub's hair and nudged it toward Chen Ying.

The little monkey, who had been sitting quietly on the table playing with toys, got scared at the sight of Jinya, jumped onto Chen Ying's back, clutched his hair with one paw, and trembled.

"Hey, what little thing are you hiding here?"

Curious Jinya sprang into the room, circled to Chen Ying's back, and looked quite interested in pulling the little monkey down to play.

The little monkey squeaked, squatted on top of Chen Ying's head, and warmth invaded his scalp.

Chen Ying was completely stunned.

No, little monkey, how could you urinate anywhere!

Frantically, he picked up the little monkey, wiped its bottom clean with a tissue, then patted Jinya's head to stop her mischief.

Chen Ying, carrying the little monkey, rushed into the bathroom.

Little Sen was making steamed cornbread for Bear Baby Leo and saw Chen Ying rushing down, a bit disheveled, and curiously asked what happened.

"It's nothing. Jinya scared the little monkey into peeing, right on my head!"

Little Sen burst into laughter, bending over with laughter.

Three minutes later, the Rescue station chat group exploded with congratulatory messages for Chen Ying.

[Congratulations, Brother Ying, on your great fortune, more to come!]

Duanmu, the sneaky guy, even screenshotted it and shared it on his social circle with a laughing emoji collapsing on the ground.

By the time Chen Ying came out after washing his hair, his phone's DMs were almost overflowing.

Jinya and Little Jin had brought the cub down, and they were now happily playing on the grass.

The cubs of the Big Spirit Cat Mother had also come out, playing in a four against one scenario, the grass covered with fluffy dumplings accompanied by juvenile cries, causing quite a ruckus.

Bear Baby Leo on the first-floor platform, seeing the fun below, was so anxious he instinctively learned the wall-climbing skill and successfully hung himself on the high railing.

After several futile struggles, Leo initiated the Ultimate Summoning Technique: calling mom!
