CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 323: GIANT PANDA

Tuanzi glanced at the big sister who looked like a little wild cat and waved her chubby paw.

"Hi, I’m Miaomiao."

Wen Jing’s knife-like gaze swept over, she hugged her arms and nodded casually without speaking.

This knife-like gaze made her look a bit fierce, yet because she was so small, this fierceness wouldn’t make people too wary.

Tuanzi’s eyes sparkled instantly.

[Miaomiao: This sister is so cool!]

She mimicked the other, hugged her little arms, and tried hard to make a defiant and cool expression, glaring fiercely.

In the eyes of the clueless crowd, she looked like she was puffing her bun-like face, a bit unhappy, entirely missing the real fierce look.

[Ancient Martial System: You should give up, you’re the fiercest when expressionless; otherwise...]

It’s all cute.

Tuanzi quickly loosened her arms and scanned the room expressionlessly, discreetly using some Inner Strength to make everyone feel a bit stifled.

Haha, now everyone should be scared, right?

Yang Jin looked around and walked towards the window.

"I was wondering why it felt weird, turns out the window wasn’t open."

As the window opened, a refreshing evening breeze swept away the indoor stuffiness.

[Ancient Martial System: Pfft]

Tuanzi pouted.

After the previous training, the original four groups of guests actually mastered quite a lot of knowledge. This time arriving at a new place, it’s more about understanding the Mountain they will patrol.

Different Mountains are home to different wild animals and plants; sometimes the mountains and waters vary, as do their habits.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Mountain they will patrol near has a panda reserve, along with a nearby panda research center.

This time, not only were Tuanzi’s eyes shining, other children and parents were also quite excited.

"Do we have a chance to see pandas?"

This time, the lecture was given by Forester Zhao.

Forester Zhao laughed heartily.

"That depends on luck, and even if we encounter them, we must quickly move away. Don’t be fooled by the panda’s cute appearance; a slap from them is quite powerful."

Despite his words, the children seeing the round roll of black and white bears on the screen were already squealing excitedly.

Tuanzi hugged Zhou Xiangshang, "We have good luck; maybe we’ll see pandas from a distance."

She started fantasizing, "Some pandas are so big, if Miaomiao could roll around in their arms, that’d be great."

Zhou Xiangshang joined in the fantasy, "I’d rather hug the smaller pandas. Have you seen panda cubs? They’re like sticky rice balls with sesame filling oozing out."

Wen Jing, who had been eavesdropping, nodded approvingly with a stern face; she agreed with this description but didn’t speak as she wasn’t familiar with these kids.

Talking about sesame-filled sticky rice balls made Tuanzi pat her belly, "This time I really feel hungry."

Successfully using pandas to capture the guests’ attention, Forester Zhao began discussing other rare flora and fauna in the reserve.

"Moreover, I need to remind everyone," Forester Zhao said solemnly, "some areas in the reserve are open to tourists, while our patrol covers both undeveloped forests and reserve areas."

Wu Ti’s smile faded a bit, his tone somewhat chilly, "Would anyone possibly come over from the scenic spots?"

The forester nodded.

"There have been such cases before—people sneaking from the scenic areas into undeveloped places, poaching, committing crimes. Others do it just out of curiosity."

Some people have lost their lives due to curiosity, and others have been lucky enough to be rescued; however, some rescuers may get injured or even lose their lives.

"So, if you encounter people who sneak away from designated routes, make sure to dissuade them."

Walking paths actually have strict regulations: not only cannot go to non-visiting areas, but they must not get close to, chase, or hunt wild animals, pick plants, make fires, camp, litter, or move equipment.

"Yet there are always people who don’t listen."

Forester Zhao sighed, "The consequence of not listening won’t be harming the ecosystem, but getting injured or losing their lives."

"However," another forester with the surname Sun quickly interjected, "many staff are keeping watch and dissuading them—our main task is to patrol this Mountain. But if encountering such people, dissuade promptly, or contact staff, and in emergencies, contact forest police."

Since many incidents occurred on the previous Mountain, everyone was learning more diligently this time.

Even many spectators were seriously learning. Even though some untimely complained ’so boring’ ’I’m here for fun, not learning’, the overall atmosphere was nice.

Until the next morning, the guests quickly finished breakfast, putting on emergency packs and equipment, preparing to ascend the Mountain.

It was Friday; most people were still working or studying.

Yet, many learned the trick of slacking at work, simultaneously entering the live stream while working.

Cameramen had begun filming the Mountain’s landscape.

The lush and verdant forest always brings good moods; with high-quality equipment, everyone felt as if they were personally visiting the Mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery, breathing fresh air.

However, a batch of untimely bullet comments appeared.

[Give an explanation for "Mountain Patrol Journey"]

["Mountain Patrol Journey" slandering our Wenwen]

[Boycott "Mountain Patrol Journey"]

[Boycott Gu Che, boycott Wu Ti...]

These comments were organized and disciplined; ordinary viewers couldn’t argue against them.

[Chen Wen’s fans are all crazy, aren’t they?]

[Heard her resources are quite miserable lately]

[Being miserable isn’t a reason to go crazy here]

[I rather think it’s not her fans, but someone trying to trap her]

Director Chen soon noticed the anomaly.

After analysis, he came to a similar conclusion. Chen Wen was overwhelmed, suffered losses, and wouldn’t dare stir up "Mountain Patrol Journey" for hype?

It should be someone trying to harm Chen Wen, deliberately posing as fans to ruin public goodwill.

As for whom Chen Wen had offended, uh, that scope is too broad; he didn’t know either.

Director Chen sighed helplessly, "If they want conflict, let them do it privately; why always come to bother us? We just want to shoot a good show!"

He glanced at the live stream, seeing all five groups of guests seriously patrolling the Mountain. The veteran guests already had experience, seriously teaching the new ones, and even unknown animals occasionally flashed across the camera.

What a great atmosphere, what a great start, why do those people always come to bother them?

The assistant responsible for monitoring online trends hit the nail on the head, "They’re deliberately provoking the show’s fans, and even the guests’ fans—a multi-pronged approach."

Not only were they trying to trap Chen Wen, but also stir up fan wars among Gu Che and others, tarnishing these artists’ public goodwill. After all, when fans go crazy, people inevitably relate that to the artists.

Director Chen gasped, "Who is so fearless to offend so many people at once?"

Just then, Gu Che’s assistant Sun squeezed over.

"Director Chen, Gu mentioned before..."

Sun said a few simple words.

Director Chen’s eyes brightened, "We can’t thank you enough; it’s great that you notified the major fans in advance."
