The Internet-Famous Tiger's Public Humiliation

The next day, when Wang Keke excitedly brought Lin Mo to the entrance of the Battle Pet Commercial Street in East District 3, accompanied by Aunt Zhang and another female War General bodyguard who followed like shadows, Lin Mo truly realized what the "pomp" of an S-Rank Core Seed meant, and... what it meant to be an involuntary "center of attention."

The "going out for a stroll" he had originally imagined was a low-key observation, silently searching for potential "ingredients," at most attracting a few surprised and awe-filled gazes.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

His majestic and imposing figure, his extraordinary white fur, the wings on his back that were now taking shape and hard to hide even when tucked away, plus that shiny nameplate around his neck engraved with the characters "Mimi"—as if he were afraid others wouldn't know his name...

This combination was simply a walking magnet for camera flashes!

"Look! It's that tiger! A Winged Tiger!"

"Oh my god! It's 'Mimi'! I've seen it in the internal briefing videos! I didn't expect it to look even cooler in person!"

"Is that the genius Spirit Reader lady from the Wang Family beside it? They really came out!"

Almost the moment they appeared, the bustling commercial street seemed to have been hit with a mute button, only to erupt into an even greater clamor. Countless gazes, like searchlights, focused on them in unison, filled with curiosity, excitement, worship, and even... fanaticism?

Before Lin Mo could adapt to this overly "enthusiastic" scrutiny, the first batch of brave souls rushed over.

"Miss Wang! Can... can I take a picture with Mimi?" A young man wearing martial artist gear, still looking boyish, was flushed with excitement, holding up the latest model of a communication watch.

Wang Keke clearly enjoyed this feeling of being noticed and acknowledged. She smiled and nodded: "Sure, but be careful, don't scare Mimi."

Scare my ass! Am I scared? I'm annoyed to death! Lin Mo complained internally, but on the surface, he had to maintain a "man of the people" posture. After all, he now represented the image of the Wang Family and an "S-Rank Seed."

And so, he was forced to work.

The first, the second, the tenth... the people requesting photos were endless, forming a small line. Lin Mo was like a soulless photo-op background board, following Wang Keke's instructions to either sit, stand, or occasionally cooperate by "looking at the camera" (though he was extremely unwilling).

What made him even more miserable was that, besides photos, there were more "pushy" requests.

"Mimi's fur looks so soft, can I touch it? Just once!" A bold young girl pleaded with starry eyes.

Wang Keke waved her hand: "Go ahead! Mimi is very gentle!"

Gentle my foot! I'm a fierce tiger! Lin Mo roared internally, but he could only watch helplessly as the girl's hand cautiously touched the fur on his front leg, then let out a satisfied exclamation: "Wow! It really is!"

This moment seemed to open Pandora's box.

"I want to touch it too!"

"Let me touch it as well!"

"Just one touch of the tail!"

Countless hands reached out from every direction. There were the rough, large hands of men, the slender, jade-like fingers of women, and even... those ignorant little brats!

Lin Mo went stiff all over, feeling like a monkey being watched in a zoo (the top-tier VIP kind). He suppressed the urge to slap these people away, and could only convey his intense protest and discomfort to Wang Keke through their mental link.

"Alright, alright, everyone don't crowd, take it slow, watch your safety!" Wang Keke was completely immersed in the joy of sharing her "beloved pet," maintaining order while soothing Lin Mo, "Be good, Mimi, everyone likes you!"

Like? Lin Mo felt like crying. He felt his back, belly, and even his cheeks being subjected to varying degrees of "petting attacks." The most outrageous were some parents who actually brought their ignorant little toddlers right up to his side!

"Look, baby, a big kitty! Give it a pet, don't be afraid!"

Then, Lin Mo felt a chubby little hand, smelling of milk and a bit of drool, randomly grabbing and patting him. That would have been fine, but one little boy in split-crotch pants, wobbling as he walked, stumbled under his parents' "encouragement" and his little hand landed squarely on a certain extremely sensitive and fragile area between his hind legs!

!!!!

Lin Mo's tiger body went rigid, and every hair on his body nearly stood on end like a hedgehog!

An indescribable feeling, mixed with shame, anger, and extreme discomfort, surged through his entire body like an electric current!

"ROAR--!! (F*ck! Let go!!)"

He let out a low, suppressed roar of rage and instinctively wanted to lash out with his hind legs.

The little boy was startled and burst into tears. The parents nearby quickly pulled the child away, apologizing repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, the child is still young and doesn't know any better..."

Wang Keke was also startled and quickly hugged Lin Mo's neck to soothe him: "Mimi, don't be afraid, the little kid didn't mean it!"

Lin Mo's mind was a stampede of ten thousand horses: 'Doesn't know any better'?! Does not knowing any better mean you can just touch a tiger's balls?! What kind of damn human cub with no sense of boundaries is this! My lifelong reputation!

He felt that his dignity as a future Starry Sky Behemoth was being rubbed into the ground repeatedly today on this commercial street by these "enthusiastic" humans, especially that little brat!

However, his "miserable" encounter did not stop his fate as the center of attention. The surrounding crowd saw that even though he had been "attacked," he only let out a low roar and didn't actually hurt anyone, which made them think he was even more "human-like," "gentle, and cute."

And so, more communication watches and recording devices were raised.

"Quick, take a picture! Mimi is so cute!"

"Was that a protective reaction just now? Haha, too funny!"

"Look at his 'I've lost the will to live' expression!"

Camera flashes clicked, and videos were uploaded to the internet in real-time.

And so, completely unbeknownst to Lin Mo, he quickly climbed to the top of the local search trends in Northeast Base City, captured from various angles and with various expressions (mostly "lost the will to live" and "suppressed rage").

Under various tags were photos of him being forced to pose, having his fur ruffled, and even the snapshot of that little boy's "groping" moment (naturally blurred)... His "great name"—Mimi—spread across the internet like a virus.

He, Lin Mo, a future hegemon who only wanted to devour and evolve to reach godhood, had become a household name—an internet celebrity—in the early stages of his arrival in this world, in a way he absolutely did not want.

Wang Keke was having a great time; she felt that everyone acknowledging and liking Mimi was a great honor. She even took the initiative to help some particularly shy little girls take photos with him.

Lin Mo lay on the ground, having lost the will to live, letting a little girl carefully braid his hair (using the fur on the side of his neck), his heart filled with gloom.

Damn this charm... He looked at the sea of people at the end of the commercial street that seemed like it would never reach an exit, and closed his eyes in despair.

This hellhole, I'm never coming back here again!

He swore that once he went back, he would redouble his efforts to devour and gain the ability to tear through space and teleport as soon as possible! When that time came, let's see who could force him to work!

However, he did not know at this moment that this seemingly farcical "internet celebrity" incident would bring some unexpected "opportunities" and... trouble, in ways he could never have imagined.
