Giant Panda in the Jungle

The lush, primeval forest was like a rolling sea.

A handsome, sun-kissed man was walking along a forest path.

Above him, a drone whizzed by, and he was speaking to it.

(Streamer, you really quit your job?)

(I don't think the streamer needed to quit his job to become a forest ranger.)

(Yeah, a forest ranger. How much can you earn in a month? It's better to just keep your job.)

(Guys upstairs, maybe the streamer quit his job because he loves small animals and came back to be a forest ranger.)

Lin Xuan smiled slightly as he looked at the comments in the live stream chat.

"I've been streaming for so long, and most of the viewers in the chat are old viewers."

"I'll give you all a unified answer today about why I quit my job."

"Actually, my grandfather used to be a forest ranger, but as he got older, he felt he couldn't handle it anymore."

"Besides, it's more comfortable to be a forest ranger than to be bullied at a company. I get to see a lot of cute little animals every day, which makes me feel very happy both physically and mentally."

"The guy upstairs was right. I really do love small animals. Every time I see poachers hunting and selling small animals, I get very angry, but back then, I couldn't do anything."

"Now that I'm the forest ranger for this area, I won't let that happen!"

"Protecting animals and the beauty of nature is everyone's responsibility!"

(Great, well said, streamer!)

(Nowadays, human development is so fast that we don't get to see many small animals. If we can learn about more small animals through this live stream, that would be a wonderful thing.)

(Haha, I love small animals too, but my living conditions aren't suitable for keeping pets.)

(To the guy upstairs, if you can't keep other animals, you can keep a turtle. If you raise it well, it can send you on your way (wacky face).)

(Haha, that's true. I remember a classmate's family, his grandfather kept a pair of turtles. Then his grandfather passed away, and the turtles were passed on to his parents.)

Lin Xuan smiled as the netizens started discussing again.

What he had said earlier was half true and half false.

He wasn't actually from this world; he was a transmigator.

When he transmigrated to this world, the original owner was also named Lin Xuan, and his grandfather was indeed a forest ranger.

But he became a forest ranger for two reasons: one, he genuinely loved animals, and two, because of the system.

When he transmigrated, he had activated the [Wild Animal Illustration Book] system.

As long as he discovered a precious animal and unlocked it in the illustration book, he would receive a reward.

(Streamer, you've been talking for so long, but you haven't introduced us to what animals are in this jungle. If it's just ordinary small animals, what's the point?)

(Yeah, if we're going to watch, show us something fierce, like leopards, wolves, black bears, wild boars, etc.)

(That would be more exciting for us!)

(Exactly, let's have something exciting.)

(To the guys upstairs, you're just sitting there typing on your keyboards. But if the streamer actually encounters these animals, he could be in great danger himself.)

(Streamer, don't listen to them. I'll watch whatever you stream.)

(Right, we'll watch whatever you stream.)

"Everyone, don't be anxious. I'm already on my way."

"My grandfather told me that this great forest has everything, including black bears, leopards, tigers, and wild boars."

"As for wild boars, they are so abundant in our area that hunting them is permitted."

(No way? The streamer wants to hunt wild boars?)

(Looking at the streamer's physique, if he really encounters a wild boar, he'll just have to run.)

Although the netizens in the live stream chat were just talking big, they genuinely hoped the streamer would protect himself if he encountered fierce animals like wild boars in the wild.

After all, if something happened to the streamer, where would they watch their daily forest ranger updates?

As Lin Xuan walked and chatted with the netizens, a whimpering sound suddenly came from the forest.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xuan quickly stopped and listened intently.

(Why did the streamer stop? Is it network lag?)

(No, the scenery around is moving, it can't be network lag. Did the streamer discover something?)

Lin Xuan ignored the comments in the live stream chat. He directed the drone in the sky towards the direction of the whimpering sound in the forest.

He also switched the camera feed of the live stream so that he could observe what animal was making the whimpering sound through the live stream.

The next second, a cute black and white ball of fur appeared on the live stream.

(Wow, a giant panda! So cute!!)

(Is this a wild giant panda? It's really adorable!)

The viewers in the live stream room had mostly been to the zoo to see Giant Pandas. Even those who hadn't would know that Giant Pandas are national treasures and would watch videos of them.

But now, in the forest, a Giant Panda had been discovered. Its clumsy appearance was incredibly cute.

This made the viewers very fond of it.

[Congratulations to the host for discovering a Giant Panda. You have successfully unlocked the Giant Panda illustration. S-rank Second-Class Protected Animal.]

Hearing the system's rewards, Lin Xuan was secretly delighted.

He hadn't expected to gain two skills just by discovering a protected animal.

However, before he could be happy for too long, he noticed that the Giant Panda's whimpering sounded distinctly off.

Adjusting the drone, Lin Xuan quickly saw that the Giant Panda's belly was larger than any he had seen before, and its expression was one of great urgency.

"No way, is this Giant Panda about to give birth?"

An outlandish thought appeared in Lin Xuan's mind.

Besides, didn't he just get the Medical skill when he discovered the Giant Panda?

If this Giant Panda was really about to give birth, then perhaps he could use this Medical skill to help it!

Lin Xuan made up his mind and moved closer to the direction where the drone had found the Giant Panda.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream room were all very confused by this scene.

(What's wrong with this Giant Panda? Is it sick?)

(It probably doesn't look sick. Giant Pandas in the wild don't usually act like this when they're sick.)
