After bidding farewell to the netizens, Fang Ye went offline. He then turned to Luna and the two other breeders who were with him, asking, "So, have you all learned it?"
Luna clenched her small fist and nodded with a serious expression, saying, "Yes, I've learned it!"
Fang Ye had noticed that while he was feeding Xiaobaihu and taking care of his needs, Luna had been observing closely.
"Great! Now it's your turn to try," Fang Ye encouraged.
Since the little white tiger was asleep, Fang Ye brought out a tiger puppet for practice.
Luna took the lead.
She boiled water, prepared the milk powder, measured the water temperature, fed the milk, and handled the urine, following each step carefully.
The only difference was that she used a water thermometer when preparing the milk powder and boiling water, instead of relying on a rough estimate of the water temperature using her finger.
"Director, how did I do? Can I still improve?" Luna asked eagerly.
Fang Ye praised her, saying, "You did great!"
The other two breeders took their turns as well. Working together in pairs, they were able to monitor each other for any mistakes or omissions.
Fang Ye observed and provided guidance on some details, advising, "Before feeding, you can put a drop of milk on your hand to feel the temperature..."
After giving guidance and words of encouragement, Fang Ye finally felt reassured. He covered his mouth and yawned before heading back to his room for a nap.
He hadn't dared to sleep too deeply the night before, always ready to wake up at the slightest movement.
After the morning live broadcast, he was feeling quite tired. It was already noon when he woke up.
Lao Zhang, who had cooked pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli, had prepared a simple and budget-friendly meal that turned out to be delicious.
Thinly sliced pork belly, tangy pickled cabbage to balance the richness, and soft, smooth, elastic vermicelli combined in a large bowl made for a delightful meal. Fang Ye particularly enjoyed the refreshing flavors.
He showered Lao Zhang with compliments for his culinary skills and playfully teased him, wishing he could have another serving.
After satisfying his appetite, Fang Ye let out a contented burp and returned to his room.
However, as he opened the door, he was taken aback by an unexpected visitor—a tabby cat on his balcony!
The cat had yellow fur on its back, white on its face and abdomen, with a few black patches. Its fur was slightly unkempt, and it appeared to be either a stray or a feral cat.
Upon hearing the door open, the tabby cat tensed up, lowering its body and remaining motionless, its eyes alert and focused on Fang Ye.
It was evident that the cat was extremely wary.
Fang Ye was initially surprised to find a cat in his room, but then he realized it must have accessed the balcony by climbing up a tree, jumping onto the air conditioning unit, and from there, onto the balcony.
The tabby cat must have been quite hungry to take such a risk.
Fang Ye squatted down, wore a gentle smile, and softly called, "Kitty."
In an instant, the tabby cat reacted with a start, jumping and leaping over the balcony's railing, disappearing from sight.
Fang Ye hurriedly went to the balcony to look, but the cat was already gone.
He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by the unexpected visitor.
His room was on the second floor of the staff dormitory, and it was approximately three meters high. Cats typically couldn't jump into it. However, the presence of an air conditioner on the outer wall and a nearby tree provided an explanation.
Fang Ye surmised, "The cat likely climbed up the tree trunk, moved along a thicker tree branch to reach the air conditioner, and then leaped onto the balcony."
He figured the cat must have been very hungry to risk entering the room.
With that in mind, Fang Ye retrieved a cardboard box from under his table, which contained snacks, chocolate muffins, instant noodles, and ham—the kinds of items the previous occupant used to prepare for late-night cravings.
He discarded the remaining instant noodle packets, leaving everything else inside the box.
Fang Ye took a piece of ham, peeled it, placed a sheet of paper on the balcony, found a small plate, poured some water into it, and set them both outside, alongside the ham.
Having taken care of the unexpected guest, Fang Ye leaned back in his chair and accessed the system panel.
He noticed his popularity value had significantly increased, and he wondered how it had gone up so much after the recent live broadcast of Little White Tiger.
With a smirk, he contemplated the exciting rewards he could get with his newfound popularity.
His curiosity piqued, he decided to use the lottery feature.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Wolf Puppet]!"
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the [Alpaca Puppet]!"
"Better luck next time, host!"
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the [Tiger Puppet]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Lingquan]!"
Lingquan came in a bottle, roughly 300ml, and resembled a regular water bottle, except without a label.
Lingquan: Drinking it restores energy and relieves fatigue.
Fang Ye was delighted with the prize. He couldn't wait to try it since using his skills, especially [Affinity], had been draining his energy. He had been feeling like a mage who had run out of mana.
Sipping the Lingquan, he found it refreshing and rejuvenating. He could feel a surge of energy flowing through his body, revitalizing every cell and erasing any lingering fatigue.
Ecstatic with the result, Fang Ye exclaimed, "Amazing!"
He couldn't help but think that his energy capacity had increased somewhat.
"One bottle isn't enough; let's draw some more."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare item [Big Salted Fish]!"
Big Salted Fish: Made of rubber, it's soft and firm, ideal for carnivorous animals to chew and play with. Its amusing shape makes it more enticing than regular toys.
The Big Salted Fish was an unattractive gray color and about half a meter long.
Fang Ye, not particularly thrilled with the new addition, muttered, "Well, it's better than nothing."
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the knowledge of [Animal Behavior Management]!"
Fang Ye was overjoyed with this knowledge as it was something he had been missing.
Animal behavior management encompassed various aspects, such as designing animal-friendly exhibition areas and enriching their environments. It also included training animals, which was different from circus performances.
He explained that animals often resisted injections, much like children fearing needles. Desensitization training helped animals overcome their fear of injections, making medical procedures less stressful for them and the handlers.
The training extended to other aspects, like moving animals without the need for anesthesia, and caring for their physical health, such as hoof maintenance for ungulates like elephants and rhinos.
Fang Ye was thrilled to have gained this knowledge, as it was a valuable addition to his skillset.
