93: Chapter 93 Me, the Rat! Today is definitely going to be a rat!

Actually, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room were right; Jin Gang was indeed jealous.

An Ke's shoulder was its spot, and it didn't allow any other animal to occupy it.

So Jin Gang took flight and shouted at the Hamster, "Let me show you what you call the Claw Technique from the Heavens!"

However, just as Jin Gang was about to descend, An Ke grabbed it.

"Alright, Jin Gang, stop messing around."

Seeing that Jin Gang still wanted to give the Hamster a one-way ticket to its stomach, An Ke shook his head helplessly.

"Be good, and I'll give you some large yellow croaker tonight."

Hearing this, Jin Gang immediately quieted down.

It even looked at the Hamster with a kind and gentle expression, then asked gleefully:

"Master, if I'm good every day, can every day be Crazy Thursday?"

"No!" An Ke refused decisively.

His face was covered in black lines. Eating large yellow croaker every day?

Does it think large yellow croaker is as common as Chinese cabbage?

He only happened to encounter a large school of them last time by luck; otherwise, where would he get so many large yellow croakers?

Ignoring Jin Gang's somewhat lonely-looking back, An Ke looked at the Hamster curiously.

This little furry fellow had been quite frightened by Jin Gang's "craziness" just now.

It thought it was going to meet its end here today, but luckily An Ke stopped it.

"Little Mouse, I... thank your whole family~"

An Ke was stunned for a moment. Why did it feel like this little fellow was cursing him?

However, seeing the Hamster's sincere expression, An Ke was certain that the little guy was indeed thanking him.

Besides, with [Natural Affinity], small animals like the Hamster would definitely feel close to An Ke.

It seemed another eccentric little animal had arrived.

Just like Jin Gang, who was full of witty banter.

Both amused and exasperated, An Ke asked curiously, "Why did you come back again?"

The Hamster pointed at the burrow and said, "Little Mouse, I... like you very much, so I brought a lot of food for you."

With that, the little fellow wiggled its tiny bottom and crawled back into the burrow.

A moment later, it tried to squeeze out of the burrow with its cheeks puffed out.

However, because it was stuffed full, the hole was too small for it to crawl out.

Even though it tried its hardest, to the point of its face becoming distorted, it still couldn't do it.

This made the Hamster so anxious it was almost in tears.

An Ke was highly amused. "Don't you know how to dig the hole a bit wider?"

As he spoke, he reached out to help the Hamster widen the entrance.

With the entrance expanded, the Hamster was finally able to crawl out.

The first thing it did upon emerging was to spit out everything stuffed in its mouth.

Then it said to An Ke, "Little Mouse, I... thank your whole family again."

An Ke: "..."

To be honest, An Ke felt a bit of a headache; he always felt like the Hamster was being sarcastic towards him.

The Hamster naturally didn't know what An Ke was thinking. After thanking him for his help, it said:

"Take this food first; I'll go get more."

Having said that, the Hamster continued to crawl back into the hole.

An Ke looked at the food on the ground.

The food on the ground consisted of nuts, and there were quite a lot of them.

By the time the Hamster finished transporting everything, the pile of nuts was several times the size of its body.

An Ke raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Where did you get all these nuts?"

The Hamster seemed very proud when asked this question.

It stood up on its hind legs, paws on its hips, looking very smug.

Then it pointed into the distance and said, "Little Mouse, I... found a pine forest over there."

"Just now, Little Mouse, I... was planning to get some pine cones, but for some reason, I ended up digging my way here. It felt like something here was particularly attracting me..."

"Of course, it could also be because Little Mouse, I... made a mistake in judgment."

An Ke couldn't help but chuckle. He felt that it likely wasn't the Hamster's fault.

But rather because of his [Natural Affinity].

The Hamster had been unconsciously influenced by [Natural Affinity], which led it to dig its way here.

"Where exactly is the location?" An Ke asked curiously.

Nuts made for quite good snacks.

For instance, when he was idle just now, An Ke felt like something was missing.

Now that he thought about it, he finally knew what was missing.

That was snacks.

The Hamster told An Ke the location of the pine trees without reservation.

The latter was somewhat surprised. "So you're saying it's very close to here?"

"For Little Mouse, it's very far~" the Hamster pouted.

An Ke laughed; that was true.

After all, the Hamster was just a tiny thing.

Only then did An Ke realize that he hadn't been paying attention to the small things nearby before.

For example, the low fruit trees or the pine cones the Hamster mentioned.

But that was mainly because building a home and survival had been the priorities before.

Fruits and meat were the best choices; things like pine cones were hard to harvest and not very filling, so they were selectively ignored.

Now that things were stable, having occasional snacks to satisfy cravings felt quite nice.

An Ke smiled and sincerely thanked the Hamster.

"You're welcome. This is what Little Mouse should do, since Little Mouse likes you so much."

The Hamster had an "as it should be" expression, while also looking a bit proud.

After all, performing a merit in front of someone it liked gave it a great sense of accomplishment.

Just then, the silhouette of a Leopard appeared in the curtain of rain, moving from far to near, from blurry to clear.

It was carrying the carcass of a prey in its mouth.

When the Leopard returned to the Camp, it saw a Hamster dancing and gesturing in front of An Ke.

It was stunned at first, surprised to see a new animal in the Camp, but then it felt a surge of playfulness.

Any feline is very fond of playing.

Leopard Mom gently put down the prey and then moved silently behind the mouse.

At this moment, the terrifying hunting ability of a feline was demonstrated to the fullest.

Leopard Mom had already reached the Hamster's back, yet it remained completely oblivious.

Perhaps it was because the sound of rain masked the subtle noises, but the power of a feline's hunting skills was undeniable.

Otherwise, Leopard Mom and Tiger Mom wouldn't be able to bring back prey every time.

Then, Leopard Mom intentionally made some noise to attract the Hamster's attention.

Only then did the Hamster belatedly realize it was covered by a massive shadow.

Years of experience made it immediately realize something was wrong.

It looked back apprehensively and saw Leopard Mom looking down at it.

Felines are natural enemies to all mice.

Seeing such a huge Leopard, the Hamster's face changed instantly, turning pale with fright.

At the same time, it snapped upright and clutched its heart.

Due to excessive shock, before the Hamster could even turn to run, its whole body went limp, and it collapsed on the ground.

Not only that, it also let out a terrified shriek.

"Don't eat Little Mouse, I have no meat on me at all."

"And I'm not even clean; I'm dirty all over."

"Little Mouse, I... am not tasty at all."

However, Leopard Mom ignored the Hamster and pressed its massive paw directly onto it.

The Hamster looked despairing: "Little Mouse, I'm definitely going to die today~"

However, a moment later, the Hamster found that the expected pain did not come.

Hamster: ???
