Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Is this the legendary Druid class change location?

In the Child Care Area, the animal nanny Meimei was a round-faced young girl who, right after graduating from university, passed the entrance exam to the center, making her work tenure two years longer than Chen Ying's.

She deftly reached out to stroke the head of Little Musk Deer and, without any reservation, took Chen Ying's clothes to pad underneath the small creature.

"You were the first to come into contact with it. Your clothes carry the scent it's been smelling since birth, which is good for soothing its emotions. I won't return your clothes; I'll buy you a few more to make up for it later."

Generally, he wouldn't accept this arrangement, but establishing a good relationship with Sister Meimei, who could rightfully be called the center's 'Big Nanny,' was like an enormous fortune falling from the sky.

Everyone in their rescue station, including those next door at the Panda Base and the conservation center, knew that they had an incredible nanny here. With her, every little cub, no matter the species, was obedient—feeding when told to feed, urinating when told to urinate!

Little Musk Deer was no exception. After Meimei applied her senior-level back-rubbing technique, the little one was no longer resistant to Nanny Meimei's touch.

Although Meimei never hid her secrets, no one could win the affections of all the cubs like she did.

Talent is something that can't be compensated for with effort.

As Nanny Meimei took the cub downhill, Chen Ying exhaled a huge sigh of relief.

His place was really not suitable for raising abandoned little cubs.

With Leopard Sister's family of three around, they would probably scare any little cub into a heart condition.

Haven't you seen how downcast Meng Yan has become?

Speaking of which, Director Bai and the others had suggested during their last inspection that the slope next to the Panda House could also be put to use.

Small mammals like Meng Yan, when mostly recovered, could be moved to a semi-wild environment to gradually revert to their earlier way of life.

Around noon, Brother Liu came up with three young people, one of whom was a young lady.

"Chen Ying, these three are new hands added to the rescue station by the center. Little Sen and Duanmu Lin are both veterinarians, your juniors. This is Miss Zhao Manman, a WCS volunteer, who will be staying here for about three months."

I thought so, rescue stations like this in the mountains generally wouldn't consider having women come up.

It's not discrimination; mainly because the station is up in the mountains where transportation is inconvenient. During some seasons when food is scarce, large predators may come knocking at night. Considering this, the center leaders usually have women work at the base of the mountain, only asking them to help out for short periods when there is a lack of staff.

The center's current Five Golden Flowers are well-known in the field of animal conservation, and no one dares question their professional abilities.

When Chen Ying was an intern, he was mentored by a female teacher.

Had it not been for an accident that injured her leg making her unsuitable for trekking and wading, Chen Ying might not have had the chance to take charge of this rescue station.

After assigning the rooms, there was no need for meticulous instructions from Chen Ying; the three new helpers quickly immersed themselves in work.

Little Sen and Duanmu Lin's main focus was on the Panda House.

Little Sen, in particular, was designated as a caretaker for the pandas, colloquially known as a 'Panda Daddy.'

Duanmu Lin specialized in veterinary imaging and the medical area reconstructed from the storehouse was mainly his domain.

These two young men had met Chen Ying before, having spent time at the rescue station during their internships, and were well-acquainted with the place.

After exchanging greetings and setting down their luggage, they headed straight for their work areas.

Zhao Manman wasn't a veterinary student; she studied photography in college and is currently a conservation photographer for WCS.

Wearing a tight tank top over sun-protective clothing, with matching quick-dry pants and her hair tied up in a single braid, she looked very youthful.

"Mr. Chen, I'll be in your care for the next three months. I've been dispatched by the organization to work on a conservation publicity project for our protected area. I can handle the daily photography on my own, but I'll need Mr. Chen's help in pointing out the activity ranges of the national first-class protected animals."

Without personal guidance, it might take as long as three months to capture suitable footage.

Chen Ying shook hands with Zhao Manman for three seconds before letting go.

"In our area, first-class species are not commonly seen. If you want to photograph rare animals and plants, you'll need to go deeper into the mountains. Let me start by introducing you to some of the rare species we have here."

The first to be introduced was certainly Leopard Sister, who was still recovering.

That was the closest first-class species to them, and a family of three at that.

Leopard Sister clearly didn't take a liking to Zhao Manman. When faced with Zhao Manman's camera, Leopard Sister bared her teeth and her eyes showed a hint of ferocity.

The two little cubs stopped playing as well, hiding under their mother's belly, poking out their heads, and opening their mouths too.

Before Chen Ying could begin the introduction, shouts of surprise came from outside the courtyard.

Peering through the window, Chen Ying was startled and quickly ran out to hold the bewildered Jinya.

"Good Jinya, let's not go inside, okay? You go back first, and I'll come to see you in a few days."

The lynx girl dropped her favorite wild rabbit, perched on Chen Ying's shoulder, and huffed at Little Sen, as if to say, "Mama's going to take him down."

Chen Ying closed the iron gate, carrying Jinya to the bamboo forest across the street. He sat down to calm her.

"There, there, it was my fault for not giving you a heads-up. They're all here to work, not bad people. Take a good sniff—they smell just like Older Brother Yin Li—they're all good doctors here to help everyone get better."

After speaking sweetly for a while and lifting the plump wild rabbit to Jinya's mouth, he finally managed to placate the little princess.

Little Sen and Duanmu Lin squatted shoulder to shoulder in the passageway between two buildings, fiercely snapping photos of Chen Ying and Jinya with their phones.

"Now I see why the center calls Brother Chen a modern Druid. Look at this, just look—who else dares to hold a wild lynx like this? Not to brag, but Brother Chen's skill is truly one of a kind!"

Duanmu Lin videoed a segment and, after a quick edit, uploaded it to his social media account.

These days, few youngsters don't have social media accounts, but neither of them expected the one-minute video to explode online so quickly.

Right now, they were unaware of upcoming developments, only watching Chen Ying interact with Jinya with envy and jealousy.

Zhao Manman quietly set up her camera, capturing the moments of interaction between Chen Ying and Jinya.

Through her lens, the rapport between Chen Ying and Jinya was just like the mutual devotion between pet owners and their pets.

"Holy crap, guys, look!"

Little Sen suddenly stood up, pointing toward the end of the mountain road.

A disheveled man carrying a big bag walked towards the rescue station, followed closely by a majestic beast.

"Hurry, go save him..."

"Stop embarrassing yourself. That's Brother Li."

Duanmu Lin yanked hard on Little Sen's arm.

"Look closely before you speak. That big cat is following Brother Li. Hiss, could it be that working here eventually awakens one's Druid talent?"

Duanmu Lin stroked his chin, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

"No, they're both lynxes, aren't they? Won't they start fighting?"

Little Sen clearly didn't catch Duanmu Lin's wild idea, consumed with "Oh my god, a national treasure is going to fight another national treasure, who should I help?"
