Naming the White-lipped Bamboo Viper

After finishing a whole bottle of milk, the Panda Cub was still sucking on the nipple.

"What a little glutton. You've eaten so much, and you still want more."

Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry as he watched it continue sucking on the nipple.

But no matter how much it wanted to drink, he would not let the Panda Cub have any more.

After all, it had already been constipated once. It would not be good if it happened again, so he had to keep its intake under strict control.

"Chirp Chirp~~"

Unable to feel any milk entering its mouth, the Panda Cub whined and fussed in Lin Xuan's palm.

"Alright, little one. You can't eat too much, or it'll be bad for your health."

(This Panda Cub really is a little glutton.)

"It's already like this with the streamer. If it were still beside Panda Mother, it would probably be even worse."

"Yeah. It eats so much that if it stayed with Panda Mother, the other two cubs wouldn't have enough to eat."

The Panda Cub refused to give up, wriggling and fussing in Lin Xuan's palm.

"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. You've had enough for now. I'll make you some Milk Powder later and feed you then."

It took Lin Xuan quite a while to coax the Panda Cub into settling down. Perhaps it had exhausted itself from all the fussing, because it slowly fell asleep again in his palm.

Seeing the little thing asleep once more, Lin Xuan smiled helplessly and carefully placed the Panda Cub into the incubator.

The White-lipped Bamboo Viper crawled onto the incubator, looked at the Panda Cub inside, then looked at Lin Xuan.

"What's wrong, little one?"

Seeing the White-lipped Bamboo Viper looking at him, Lin Xuan asked in confusion.

The White-lipped Bamboo Viper opened its mouth and made a swallowing motion.

??

"You're hungry?"

"Hiss hiss~"

Lin Xuan checked the time and found that it was still early. Why not use this time to catch a wild rabbit?

Over the past few days, while caring for the panda family, he had been living on dried meat and other rations. He had not eaten any game at all.

Now that the White-lipped Bamboo Viper was here and hungry too, Lin Xuan planned to catch a wild rabbit in these mountains.

"Little one, you'll have to wait a bit. There are wild rabbits around here. I'll catch one later and let you taste it."

(Is the streamer going to get wild rabbit meat for the White-lipped Bamboo Viper?)

"True enough. I've seen the streamer eating dry rations these past few days. It's about time he improved his meals."

'And the streamer still has honey. Roasted rabbit with honey on the side—that kind of life is really enviable.'

Lin Xuan smiled slightly at the comments in the Livestream room. "There are quite a few wild rabbits around here. It'd be great if I could catch one. Wild rabbit is actually very delicious."

(Speaking of wild rabbits, my cousin and I caught one on the hill behind my Maternal Grandmother's house before. Roasted, it was really delicious—the meat was so tender.)

Lin Xuan curiously looked around, then found a wooden stick about twenty centimeters long.

Using his knife, he trimmed away the branches around the stick.

(Is the streamer planning to catch a rabbit with just a wooden stick?)

(A twenty-centimeter stick to catch a rabbit? Is the streamer joking?)

(If you want to catch wild rabbits, the most convenient way is naturally to set traps.)

(But if you set traps, you'd have to wait until tomorrow to catch anything. After all, wild rabbits mostly come out at night.)

Lin Xuan smiled slightly at the viewers' comments. "I did consider traps. This viewer is right—most animals come out at night. But some do come out during the day to look for food. And the stick in my hand really is for catching wild rabbits."

"Perhaps everyone is wondering how a wooden stick could possibly catch a wild rabbit. Don't worry. Once I demonstrate it, you'll understand."

Lin Xuan smiled. In his previous life, he had watched wilderness survival videos, where Bear Grylls had struck a wild rabbit with nothing but a wooden stick.

He planned to use the same method.

Lin Xuan found a tree stump about five meters away. Holding the stick level in his hand, he used the strength of his arm to throw it toward the stump.

The first throw missed the stump.

The second time.

The third time.

After more than ten attempts, the stick finally flew from his hand and successfully struck the tree stump five meters away.

(Holy crap, the streamer actually did it!)

(I thought the streamer wouldn't be able to hit that stump, but he hit it so quickly. The streamer is amazing!)

(Yeah, yeah, the streamer is seriously incredible!)

Lin Xuan had failed to hit the stump even once during all those earlier attempts, leaving the viewers somewhat disappointed. But now that the stick had successfully struck the stump, the viewers became excited.

They had been watching through the first-person view the whole time. Now that the streamer had succeeded, it felt as though they had done it themselves!

"Thankfully, I didn't let you down. I finally succeeded."

Lin Xuan picked up the wooden stick, smiling.

"Next, we'll go look for wild rabbits. Hopefully, after practicing for so long, when we run into one, I'll be able to hit it in a single strike!"

(Haha, then you'd better work hard, Streamer.)

(If you can't catch a wild rabbit, you'll have to eat jerky again tonight. Xiao Qing will have to eat it with you too.)

(Xiao Qing? The person above, did you ask for everyone's opinion before naming the White-lipped Bamboo Viper?)

(If there's Xiao Qing, does that mean there'll be a Xiao Bai later?)

(Once they both turn into humans, they'll really be after the streamer's body.)

(I think Xiao Qing is a pretty nice name. After all, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper is green too.)

"How about we all call the White-lipped Bamboo Viper Xiao Qing?"

"Streamer, what do you think?"

Although the viewers had given the White-lipped Bamboo Viper a name, it followed the streamer, so naturally they had to ask for his opinion.

Lin Xuan smiled with pursed lips and asked the other viewers in the livestream room, "What does everyone think of this name?"

"I think it's great. Xiao Qing is a really good name."

"And I'm sure quite a few of us have watched Legend of the White Snake."

"That show was part of all our childhood memories!"

"Yeah, Streamer. Let's call this White-lipped Bamboo Viper Xiao Qing."

"Since everyone likes calling the White-lipped Bamboo Viper Xiao Qing, then Xiao Qing it is."

Lin Xuan also thought it was a good name.

Xiao Qing suited its coloring better than any other name.

"Now that the White-lipped Bamboo Viper's name has been decided, I'll take Xiao Qing to catch some wild rabbits."

"Alright, good luck, Streamer."

While Lin Xuan and the White-lipped Bamboo Viper searched for wild rabbits, the other viewers in the livestream room kept sending gifts.

For example, gifts congratulating the White-lipped Bamboo Viper on being named Xiao Qing.

And gifts congratulating the White-lipped Bamboo Viper on gaining another name.
