"Fat Cat, come out! It's time to measure the room!"
Arriving at the Qinling Panda Ecological Protection Base, Lord Lucky Fox called out into the place with a groan.
"Measur... measure the room? Oh, oh, I'm coming." Fat Cat, who was lying in the office enjoying the air conditioning and taking a nap, was initially startled by Lord Lucky Fox's call, but quickly got up and barked out a series of "woof woof" as he headed to the door.
"So fast?"
Fat Cat, bypassing the napping people, walked out, looked at Lord Lucky Fox with a face full of wonder, and said.
"It's just a preliminary measurement. We're just taking a measurement now. Things like construction drawings still need the architect to consider the mechanics..."
"The most important thing today is to first pick a location."
Ansheng said matter-of-factly, "Then, we need to go procure materials. The most important thing when burrowing underground is waterproof materials. Luckily, next door at the School of Animal Science, they're planning to refurbish the landscape lake, and the waterproof materials there are free..."
As for the key points of building the hideout for the College of Agriculture, Ansheng had already thought of money-saving strategies.
Seizing the opportunity when night falls, borrow waterproof paint from the School of Animal Science, and bring back some waterproof coating to plaster the walls.
And as for red bricks, sand, cement, and steel, they can be bought from the College of Agriculture, with Principal Yang picking up the tab for all expenses.
After all....
He couldn't exactly ask the Spirit Beast for money, right?
Even Spirit Beasts need money to pay.
"We don't have much cash, but we can't compromise on construction quality just to save money. Besides room measuring, I'll show you the route later. In the evening, go borrow some materials quietly and stealthily."
"Is that okay? What if Principal Yang complains to Sister Leopard at the Security Bureau? Won't she tear my mouth apart?"
"Don't worry. Leopard Head and Wang Qiqi are going out for work tonight, and Lord Lucky Fox has a talented team, currently holding the position of temporary chief engineer..."
"This... is something that never crossed my mind!"
A fox and a panda were sitting in front of the air-conditioned room, feeling the breeze from the door crack on their butts, in sync with the "woof woof," agreeing to first raid the College of Agriculture today.
Lin Bingyun, standing on the side, didn't understand their conversation.
But seeing Lord Lucky Fox full of joy, with constant murmuring, she felt that her young master probably came up with some mischievous idea again.
"Huh? This car feels pretty comfy to sit in! I feel it's even better than that zero-down-payment Benz from the monkey..." Sitting in the back seat of the Cullinan, Fat Cat was suddenly stunned, rubbing its seat with its backside, full of enjoyment.
"Hiss... oh wow, that whooshing cool breeze goes right up my butt, along my tailbone, hovers around my crown, spreading a kind of pleasant coolness throughout my body. This thing is amazing!"
Fat Cat had been on airplanes and helicopters, but never sat in a car with ventilated seats.
The cool sensation from the bottom was a delightful surprise and a fresh experience.
Back when they went to crash parties, they always rode in the second-hand cars driven by the Forest Rangers from the Security Bureau. There were no seat ventilation or heating options; it was considered generous if the car could even drive.
The luxury car Monkey bought through a loan was, due to tight budgets, the cheapest model available.
Forget seat ventilation and heating, the back seat doesn't even have a spacious sofa.
"Lord Lucky Fox, how much does this thing cost? I'm curious and thinking of getting one myself," Fat Cat asked intriguingly.
"The domestic price for this thing is almost 800,000 to put it on the road, I think."
"How much? 800,000?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I wasn't finished," Lord Lucky Fox waved a hand, "If you really want one, Lord Lucky Fox suggests you buy a Weymar Wild version. Coincidentally, I have some enemies across the ocean; you should be able to get one for around 500-600,000. A top configuration costs no more than 100,000."
"Enemies? You mean acquaintances, right?" Fat Cat asked with some bewilderment.
"If they were acquaintances, you couldn't drive it away without spending 4-5 million. It's cheaper for enemies!"
"An old black guy with a crowbar, achieving an entrepreneurial miracle with a ten thousand times return in one night."
Lord Lucky Fox rolled his eyes.
Again, where else can you find something as smooth?
Ordering a car from a dealership takes months.
With a Weymar Wild dealer, placing an order, they videotape it at night for buyers to choose from, and if they don't deliver within half a month, it means they've had an unfortunate run-in with the authorities.
"Then... the Weymar Wild version is really cost-effective! I must get one when I have money!" Fat Cat declared with firm conviction:
"However, rest assured, Lord Lucky Fox. Fat Cat is definitely not a greedy bad cat!"
"Even if I can't afford it, when I get back, I'll definitely help promote your business, wish you great prosperity!"
"It shouldn't be a problem. I have quite a few enemies across the ocean." Lord Lucky Fox said lightly, "Bring orders anytime. Midnight... oh no, it should account for a time difference; we choose options during the daytime."
......
Lin Bingyun drove into the campus. It was silent inside, students obediently went to bed, completely unaware that a fox and a panda were sitting in the backseat of the car, pointing around the academy like they were casing the joint.
Finally,
The hideout was selected. For convenience in meals and napping, and saving materials for pulling cables, the hideout was chosen in the woods behind the cafeteria, digging three to five meters deep from the ground, encircling an area of over 900 square meters.
Lin Bingyun broke some branches, placing markers at the four corners of the encircled land, then walked aside to inform the surveyor to sneak into the school for measurements.
"Xiaolan, are you and the bear playing here?" Ah Qing and her three friends preparing for class came to the cafeteria supermarket to buy some water, just seeing the little fox perched on the panda's head, swinging its little legs affectionately.
"Wee!"
Upon seeing Ah Qing, Ansheng turned her head, displaying a joyful expression with a groan.
Yes indeed! It's too hot outside, the cafeteria is cool, so Lan and Fat Cat are playing in the sand here!
We're planning to dig a hole, build a hideout, to conveniently hide some guilty snacks in the future.
"Hmm... when digging a fox hole, remember to dig towards the woods, not towards the cafeteria. Otherwise, if we damage the cafeteria foundation, we can't afford to compensate." Ah Qing thought and reminded the little fox.
"Wee!" The little fox nodded as if it were obvious.
"You play here! I'm going to class. I'll be back in about three hours, then we'll go for a meal." Ah Qing patted the obedient little fox and left with a laugh.
"Oops! I got caught up digging and forgot to bring those two old cows to help Ah Qing plow the field!"
Watching Ah Qing's departing figure, Ansheng seemed to remember something, patting her own head.
"Fat Cat, when you return tonight, inform the pronghorn and the white-lipped deer to come over, and help with plowing early tomorrow morning."
"Got it!"
Fat Cat responded, sitting obediently on the side, watching Lin Bingyun arrange work.
Marking the land, measuring, drilling samples, by the time all work was completed, it was nearly evening. Ansheng said goodbye to Fat Cat and Lin Bingyun, returning to the dormitory to wait for Ah Qing to come back and go to the Fox Grand Hotel for an essential oil massage.
