Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 36: It Relies on Sheer Strength Alone (Added - )
"So, to rebuild that cabin, either the village has to raise funds or you have to apply for a project?" Yin Li frowned. "If you were to apply for a project, do you have confidence? Getting approval could be beneficial for your future development. At the very least, you'd be able to have more say in treating wild animals."
The two brothers hadn't had many thoughts about this before, but recently, due to the arrival of the Panda Medical Team, they acutely felt that things couldn't continue this way; at least within the rescue station, they must gain more say.
Group Leader Li was quite decent, but if it had been that female doctor from before, who knows what kind of chaos would have ensued.
Three days later, the results of Mendun'er's examination showed that no lesions could be seen in its abdominal cavity anymore, and its physical recovery was far exceeding expectations.
The medical team was preparing to leave, and they also wanted to apply to take Sesame, the rescued bear cub, with them.

After Chen Ying found out, she directly called her teacher to explain the situation.
Although Professor Bai was just a veterinary professor, he had extensive connections; his fellow senior alumni were in high positions, perfectly positioned to oversee the research base and conservation center.
After learning that the panda they operated on and the rescued cub were siblings, and considering that Chen Ying said she knew approximately where the mother bear that lost the cub was, the leadership promptly refuted the base's request.
"It makes sense; isn't our goal to protect giant pandas about conserving their wild populations for the future? They really want to take a wild cub back for captive breeding; what's wrong with them?"
Little Deng was young and outspoken, extremely dissatisfied with the researcher who proposed taking the cub.
That person also said that their place was too basic to take proper care of the cub and that taking it to the base was the only choice for a healthy upbringing.
What a joke, as if this vast nature reserve couldn't compare to the small grounds of the base?
The cub had Daddy to care for it and an elder sister to teach it, wasn't that better than being locked up at the base?
"That person seems to have a good relationship with the previous female doctor, and you said there are many who are applying for projects recently, maybe that's their game plan."
Yin Li patted Chen Ying's shoulder, "No worries, in the end, they didn't take it, right? Let's rest today, and early tomorrow morning, I'll join you in the mountains to search for the mother bear."
Naturally, searching for the mother bear couldn't be done without Leopard Sister's help. They didn't know if they would return the same day, so the two little leopards had to come as well.
Including the overnight gear needed for the field and necessary supplies, it was decided that Chen Ying and Yin Li would each carry a little leopard, with Little Deng and Master Zhao helping carry materials, and the indispensable Leopard Sister, to aim to complete the search mission within three days, four people and a leopard in total.
Little Sen, Duanmu, and another ranger would stay at the rescue station and maintain contact with them around the clock.
They also had another task: to collect biological samples from Brother Xiong in Wild Boar Forest, check on his physical condition, and if there were no issues, he would be an important member on the list for next year's wild reintroduction.
The stronger the wild male pandas, the better the genetics of their offspring.
In the evening after feeding Leopard Sister, Chen Ying took the kids out for a walk and chatted with Mendun'er for a while.
"Mmm, that guy, huh!" Mendun'er rolled its eyes at the mention.
"That old fellow has no interest in finding a mate, only eating and fighting all day long. I've approached it before, wanting to have its babies, but that stupid guy actually said I wasn't strong enough and hit me. If I hadn't run away fast, it could have killed me."
What a tough guy, firmly single based on strength.
Chen Ying felt a mix of sympathy and amusement at the thought, seeing Mendun'er looking so annoyed, she quickly stuffed half an apple through the bars to appease it.
"But when you think about it, if the little dummy went off with its mother, it really might be near Wild Boar Forest."
Mendun'er sat up straight and thought for a moment.
"I remember there's a very small and deep gorge over there, and for a while, there was no water at all; you could follow that gorge to get to the other side. I've been there once, got halfway through and didn't want to go on, so I came back."
Mendun'er lifted his left leg and scratched his chin.
"Dumb kid is so stupid, he might have been washed away by the river while following his mom. You can't preserve scent in water, so his mom couldn't find him, nor could he find his way back."
From this, it seemed likely that this gorge was indeed the place where Sesame got separated from his mom.
"Yingying, why does the dumb kid get such a nice name, and I don't?"
Chen Ying choked and shifted the blame to Leopard Sister.
"Well, wasn't it Leopard Sister who said your name was Mendun'er? I thought that was your name."
Leopard Sister heard his quip and bared her teeth at him in a threatening manner.
Mendun'er was also unhappy and lay on his back, starting to roll around the room.
Sesame was originally sleeping, but was woken up by the commotion, and seeing his sister rolling around, he started to imitate her.
"Alright, alright, how about this? I'll take a picture of you and Sesame and put it online, letting netizens give you a name? I'm really not good at this, otherwise, I would have given you a pretty name a long time ago."
Mendun'er, with his head against the floor, peeked at Chen Ying from his armpit for a good while before he hummed and flattened himself out.
Little Zhi Ma saw that her sister had stopped rolling, so it began to try climbing her sister's belly.
No sooner said than done, Chen Ying took a picture of Sesame climbing the 'tummy mountain' and also uploaded an earlier beautiful picture of Mendun'er, creating a simple collage on his science and education social account.
"Fans, I need help, Mendun'er is very dissatisfied with his name and wants one as nice as Sesame's, but unfortunately, your uploader is terrible at naming. This arduous task is now entrusted to everyone."
"Fans who come up with a name approved by Mendun'er will receive a felt keychain made from original Leopard Sister hair. MaoMao.jpg"
As to why coming up with a name for Mendun'er would result in a felt keychain produced by Leopard Sister, let's not delve too deeply into that.
If you ask, it's because Mendun'er doesn't shed hair!
He stroked Mendun'er's head with his left hand and Leopard Sister's back with his right.
All the while cuddling them both, Chen Ying suddenly heard a piercing cry from the opposite side that startled him, almost causing him to pull out a big clump of hair while he was petting Leopard Sister.
Leopard Sister growled at him in pain and got up to lie down elsewhere, silently licking the sore spot on her back.
He wasn't the only one who heard the cry.
Yin Li and Little Deng rushed out of the Forest Station office building, carrying flashlights as they ran over.
"What's happened?"
Before Chen Ying could respond, the system that had been silent for a long time issued a task.
"Please rescue the fallen Long-tailed Wood Owl chick within thirty minutes. Successful completion of the task rewards a big gift package."
At that moment, the sharp cry sounded once again, and Chen Ying and Yin Li spoke simultaneously.
"It's the call of the Long-tailed Wood Owl."
"The Long-tailed Wood Owl might be in trouble."
After saying that, the two of them, in tacit understanding, quickly climbed over the protective fence and ran towards the source of the sounds.
