"So… this is the girls' dormitory? I don't see anything special about it!"
Led by Wang Qiqi, Ansheng had toured the lecture hall area and the experimental fields, and unknowingly arrived at the dormitory across from the cafeteria. Ansheng was full of curiosity, examining the layout of the girls' dormitory, occasionally tapping on the furniture with his little paws.
The layout of the girls' dormitory was very simple. There were four custom wardrobes on either side of the entrance. As you walked in, you could see four double-decker beds made of plain lacquered solid wood. The bottom layer of the bunk bed was a desk and a bookshelf, and the sleeping area was on the upper bunk.
Further inside, there was a large balcony, with a big mirror hanging on the balcony wall, and two washbasins fixed on a marble countertop. Opposite the washstand was the toilet.
The four-person dormitory looked to be about thirty in size by eye. Since Ansheng had no experience of staying in a dormitory, he didn't know if thirty up and down was big or small, but he could only say the dormitory conditions were okay, as everything necessary was provided.
However, Ansheng was very unhappy with the bunk beds.
Students sleeping on the upper bunk?
I see you're trying to make things difficult for An!
Don't you know Master Fox has short hands and short legs? You have to force An to bounce up to the bed, playing scare games, huh?
"What is Master Fox doing..." Wang Qiqi outside the door looked at Lin Ying and then at Master Fox walking around pushing a chair inside the dormitory, with a slightly strange expression asking.
"Master Fox is inspecting the living conditions, according to past experiences, he returns home at night to sleep with Ah Qing," Lin Ying said, looking at Master Fox.
"Your way of getting along is indeed harmonious." Wang Qiqi secretly commented in her heart.
"Does Master Fox particularly like Ah Qing? He actually came all the way to Chang'an."
"......" After a brief silence, Lin Ying glanced sideways at Wang Qiqi and said blandly, "Rather than saying he likes her, it'd be better to say they fit together to a certain degree."
Although Lin Ying had not interacted with Ah Qing, since they both lived in the village of Changxi Town, certain things could be known by asking around slightly in the village.
Moreover, Ah Qing had been streaming live recently, and Lin Ying would watch it when she was free.
Ah Qing seemed to have some natural affinity that allowed her to harmoniously interact with animals, even to the point that sometimes animals didn't need to speak for Ah Qing to very well understand their thoughts and meanings.
Ah Qing's presence was like that of a bosom friend, capable of bringing people a sense of knowing or some kind of tacit understanding.
It's not really surprising that Master Fox liked being close to Ah Qing.
...
"What? Got hit by a fox?"
While Master Fox was touring school facilities and commenting on every aspect for being unfeline, at the panda protection base on the hillside behind the Agricultural College, a panda wearing what looked like khaki suspenders sat by the stream, looking at the Golden Leopard in shock and asked:
"Does what you're saying make sense?"
"You're a leopard! Although you often get robbed by bears, tigers, and wolves in the forest, it's not to the extent of getting beaten by a fox, is it?"
The khaki panda looked bewildered and very human-like, picking at its ears as if to confirm the truth.
"That Xia Dong's fox is very similar to you, both being human society-specialized types, and his specialization is evidently higher than yours..." The Golden Leopard waved his hand and skillfully laid back on the panda's bed platform saying:
"On one side he swung a big tree at me, at the same time spitting human words to scold me, do you think that's ridiculous or not."
The khaki panda pondered for a moment, looked at the Golden Leopard, and asked: "Could it be... your meaning is, you want to invite me to go and find a place together?"
When the panda said this, its round eyes contained a hint of vigilance.
In comparison to the pandas from Sichuan and Chongqing who had to clock in to perform daily, Qinling pandas didn't need to clock in at a fixed time or place, but they didn't have humans delivering food and drink either.
The pandas in the Qinling Panda Reserve all had to fend for themselves.
Chasing bamboo all over the mountains and fields year-round or diving into the river out of hunger to eat fish and drink soup.
The khaki panda expressed sympathy and indignation for the Golden Leopard's experience.
But if you were to suggest going to town to fight, that's out of the question.
Fat cat's hard-earned position in the establishment took such effort, and if any trouble was caused in town, wouldn't the examiners come and shred my salary card to bits?
Thinking of the sour faces of the examiners, a look of obvious fear appeared on the khaki giant panda's cheeks.
In the [Pest Control Specialist Group], while the woodcutter in charge of violence was scary.
However, those responsible for assessments and examinations, truly were divine beings, and once they found any irregular operations, if they said they would confiscate the salary card, they truly would do it.
"I'm not that idle."
The Golden Leopard looked at the giant panda, showing a disdainful expression and said: "I came to tell you about the fox. Its partner is a student at the Agricultural College, over the next year, aside from legal holidays, that fox will be wandering your turf."
"I've verified its fighting capacity, nearly getting my leopard head turned into a steamed bun."
"Keep your spirit beasts in check to avoid unnecessary conflicts."
Master Fox was already registered in the records, which indicates having passed safety tests. Even if they don't belong to the same system, there's no need to view them with hostility.
The territory of the Xinxing Agricultural Science College belonged to the khaki panda.
The Golden Leopard came over to say hello.
"Rest assured! Fat cat, I have matured into a very mature cat, and I never hold prejudices when viewing things," the human-specialized panda laughed and immediately said to the Golden Leopard.
Territory schmerit... ah, what fights for it.
Fighting over it merely means the right to use it, holding a high-paying job and a salary card, you could even buy an island!
"You can also tell that fox about Qinling, his background is very complex, maybe he can solve it," the Golden Leopard added.
Although Qinling was only two words, it covered an area of 400,000 square kilometers, extending over 1600 kilometers from east to west, with a width ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers.
Although it wasn't solely managed by Chang'an, the woodcutters and forest rangers here in Chang'an were responsible for a considerable area.
In such a vast forest, it isn't surprising if some strange spirit beast emerges.
Recently.
Or rather, in the past six months, there have been several abnormal animal migrations in the direction of Qinling.
It's possible that a carnivorous spirit beast overlord has emerged from within Qinling, causing such disturbances.
But the forest rangers, by installing cameras and using drone photography, still haven't found that spirit beast.
The Golden Leopard couldn't casually leave the city.
The primary task of the khaki panda was to ensure the safety of the research institute and college students, also meaning it couldn't randomly run around.
At least, before they found the source of the disturbance, these two spirit beasts couldn't leave.
"Hmm... I understand what you mean." The fat cat nodded knowingly and said:
"I'll say what I can, and what I can't say, I'll casually mention it."
"It's just about listing the unruly spirit beasts, informing the fox every now and then so that the rambunctious fox has somewhere to vent its energy, right?"
