"Haha, that's hilarious, I've never heard of anyone reporting an animal for running a pyramid scheme before."
"Come on, come on, let's interview the victim Brother Leopard! Let him share his feelings."
"Brother Leopard: Woo-woo, the host has been so good to me, even gathering our whole family together."
"It seems Brother Leopard really fell for it, Old Jiang is quite the smooth talker!"
At that moment, the viewers in the livestream room burst out laughing.
And now, Jiang Feng was indeed acting like a pyramid scheme mastermind.
He kept hyping up the money-hungry bun, urging it to go find its relatives in the mountains.
"Go on, bun, keep it up, think about your future, think about the scene of you lying on the feed!"
Jiang Feng made a cheering gesture towards bun.
Woo-oo~
bun shook its head and wagged its tail frantically.
Then it leaped up excitedly and let out a loud roar.
"Go, bun! I'll be waiting for you at home!"
Jiang Feng said again.
bun called out excitedly, then turned and dashed into the woods, disappearing from sight.
"With bun's speed, it would be a shoo-in for a gold medal at the Olympics, wouldn't you say?"
"Damn, the host's smooth-talking skills are top-notch, he must have been in pyramid schemes before."
"I sincerely invite the host to give a lecture at our Southern Pyramid Scheme, the price is negotiable."
"Are pyramid scheme bosses this brazen nowadays?"
"Host, you might as well report this to law enforcement, or else..."
"Don't worry, I trust the host!"
The viewers in the livestream room were all impressed by Jiang Feng's smooth-talking abilities.
Jiang Feng laughed out loud: "Don't overthink it, I'm just kidding around with Brother Leopard."
After saying that, Jiang Feng started packing up the things he had brought up the mountain.
The system had already notified him that the mission was complete, so he could head back home now.
However, where had Little Black Tiger's mother gone?
She couldn't seriously want him to take care of this Little Black Tiger, could she?
Jiang Feng turned to look at the Little Black Tiger beside him in exasperation.
At that moment, he saw bun and Yuan Xiao sitting in front of Little Black Tiger.
And Little Black Tiger was standing before the two little ones.
Staring at bun and Yuan Xiao with confusion.
bun stretched out its little paw, pointing at itself, then at Jiang Feng.
Whee-whee-whee!
I'm the boss!
Then bun stretched out its paw again, pointing at Yuan Xiao.
Whee-whee-whee!
This is the second-in-command.
Whee!
Second-in-command, second-in-command!
bun didn't seem to care whether Little Black Tiger could understand it or not, and just kept making whee-whee-whee sounds with its little mouth.
Yuan Xiao nodded along beside it.
And Little Black Tiger looked utterly bewildered, its big eyes full of confusion.
Woo-roar~
What are you guys saying?
"What are you three up to?"
Jiang Feng said to the three little ones.
startling bun, who was in the middle of whee-ing.
And when Little Black Tiger saw Jiang Feng, it immediately tried to waddle over to him.
But Yuan Xiao grabbed it before it could.
Whee!
Boss first!
After being held back, bun wobbled its way over to Jiang Feng.
It hugged his leg and looked up at him with sparkling little eyes.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh and pick bun up.
This little guy must have been up to no good just now.
Whee-whee-whee!
bun cuddled in Jiang Feng's arms let out a couple of whees towards Yuan Xiao, who immediately came over as well.
Only Little Black Tiger followed behind, looking dejected.
Its little head full of confusion.
I... don't think I can beat those two big guys, oh well...
"I'm shocked, animals practice hierarchy too?"
"bun: Let me tell you, this turf will be under my watch from now on!"
"Our bun has become the boss, I'm so proud of it!"
"Little Black Tiger: You guys just wait until I grow up."
The viewers in the livestream room burst into laughter once again.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh as he watched the three little ones.
To treat them equally, Jiang Feng held bun and Yuan Xiao in his arms.
With Little Black Tiger slung over his shoulder.
"There, that should do it."
Jiang Feng said to them.
If a few more little animals like this showed up,
He'd probably be completely covered by them.
"Little Black Tiger, do you know where your mom went?"
Jiang Feng asked.
He was about to head back down the mountain, what if Big Black Tiger came back while he was gone?
Woo-roar~
Little Black Tiger lay tiredly on Jiang Feng's shoulder and let out a yawn.
Clearly not understanding what Jiang Feng was saying.
"Right, I bet even when you're grown up, you won't have the brains to turn yourself over. Just obediently be bun's underling."
Jiang Feng mocked, and the viewers in the livestream room roared with laughter.
And at that moment, there was another rustling from the woods ahead.
Jiang Feng frowned and looked over to see Big Black Tiger had returned.
And Big Black Tiger had a bloody animal in its mouth.
It seemed that in the time he had been gone, Big Black Tiger had gone out hunting.
Big Black Tiger came up to Jiang Feng with its prey in its mouth.
Then dropped the prey on the ground.
It was only then that Jiang Feng got a clear look at what the prey was.
"Oh damn, you'll even eat that."
Jiang Feng looked at the prey on the ground and said to Big Black Tiger in disbelief.
"What? What kind of animal is that? Why can't we eat it?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a Chinese goral, a nationally protected species."
"Damn, Old Jiang, are the animals around you specialized in eating protected species? First Brother Leopard, now this Black Tiger."
"Big Black Tiger: You got a problem with that?"
Someone in the livestream chat identified the prey as a Chinese goral, a nationally protected species.
"We have food here, let's not eat that."
Jiang Feng quickly waved his hand at Big Black Tiger.
He couldn't bring himself to eat that.
However, Big Black Tiger lowered its head and started tearing into the already dead Chinese goral.
That scene...
(A passage of 10,000 words omitted here)
It didn't take long before Big Black Tiger had torn the Chinese goral to shreds.
Just when Jiang Feng thought it was going to do something else, Big Black Tiger called Little Black Tiger over.
Then it used its paws to push the raw meat towards Little Black Tiger.
Woo-roar~
When Little Black Tiger saw the raw meat, it immediately took a few disgusted steps back.
And opened its mouth wide, shaking its head and sneezing.
But then Big Black Tiger pushed the meat towards Little Black Tiger again, only for Little Black Tiger to run away this time.
It even looked at the Chinese goral's meat with some fear.
After that, Big Black Tiger stopped pushing the raw meat and looked at Jiang Feng helplessly instead.
Its big tiger eyes filled with worry.
And Jiang Feng realized the problem then too.
This Little Black Tiger didn't seem to eat raw meat!
Then... was it really a tiger?
