99: Chapter 99 Thank you, my whole family!
The angry Little Hamster was instantly moved when it heard Jingang speaking up for it.
Its round, big eyes sparkled, appearing as if there were tears.
"As for me, the Little Mouse, thank you and your whole family~"
The Hamster expressed its gratitude to Jingang.
However, to its surprise, Jingang, who was saying not to bully the newcomer just a second ago, squeezed into the Little Hamster's nest the next second along with the Little Tiger and the Little Leopard.
Seeing this, the Hamster froze on the spot.
It was... no! This mouse was stunned.
What happened to not bullying the newcomer?
"The city's schemes run deep; as for me, the Little Mouse, I want to go back underground."
The Hamster felt very aggrieved, having been bullied.
But at the thought that this nest was built by An Ke, it became even angrier.
"This is the nest built for me by the person this Little Mouse likes!!"
"You can't steal it!"
With that, the Hamster immediately intended to assert its sovereignty, sticking out its butt and wiggling its way into the nest.
As a result, the Hamster didn't expect that as soon as it got in, the Little Leopard would sit right on top of it.
"As for me, the Little Mouse, I can't move~~"
Its limbs kicked desperately, but unfortunately, against such absolute "weight," it was completely useless.
Meanwhile, the Little Leopard looked dazed, feeling that its butt felt a bit strange.
However, because it was squeezed together with the Little Tiger and the others, the Little Leopard didn't think much of it.
This scene made the audience in the live broadcast room find it both hilarious and worrying.
They desperately sent bullet comments, telling An Ke to save the Hamster before the Little Hamster was crushed to death by a butt.
That would be bad!
In the broadcast, although An Ke couldn't see the bullet comments from the outside live broadcast room.
He still walked over immediately, lifted the Little Leopard's butt, and rescued the Hamster from underneath.
At this moment, the Hamster's fur was disheveled all over, and it kept panting, looking listless.
It then murmured, "As for me, the Little Mouse, I almost became a mouse pancake."
Fortunately, mice are naturally quite flexible and can withstand weights several times their own.
So, there was no serious harm.
Seeing that the Hamster was unharmed, the audience in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief while laughing out loud.
"The Little Mouse's 'questioning its life' expression is too funny."
"I bet it won't like butts for the rest of its life."
"It almost became a mouse pancake."
"I'm dying of laughter; such a tiny body yet it tried to squeeze in with them, it was really asking for it."
"..."
The Foreigners in the live broadcast room looked at the atmosphere of An Ke's Camp and were incredibly envious.
It was cozy, fun, and relaxed, completely unlike the National Destiny Bearers of other countries who had to keep their nerves taut at all times, guarding against a Beast Attack or being bitten by poisonous insects and snakes.
"Holy shit! Why does it feel like the Dragon Country Kid's Camp is like a zoo?"
"Was this kid a zoo director before?"
"..."
The Foreigners were as spiteful as could be.
The better An Ke fared, the worse they felt.
The sun set, and the night sky was dyed like ink.
A crescent moon hung in the firmament, accompanied by a vast river of stars.
In the pitch-black jungle, the chirping of insects was constant.
From time to time, there were rustling sounds, as if animals were approaching.
However, as soon as the two beasts, Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom, looked over, the rustling sounds stopped immediately.
Then they vanished completely, as if there had been nothing there at all.
Still, the roars of wild beasts could be heard from afar.
Whenever this happened, Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom would stand up and stare straight in the direction of the sound.
They would judge the location of the roars, and only after confirming they posed no threat would they lie back down.
An Ke didn't play with the little ones tonight.
He sat by the edge of the Camp, looking up at the sky.
Carefully identifying the positions of the stars, he found many familiar ones, such as the famous Big Dipper.
Yet even so, his brow remained furrowed.
"Why did I feel like someone on the moon was watching me before?" he murmured silently, rubbing his chin.
Was this firmament really the one he was familiar with?
The recent string of unknown events made An Ke more and more concerned about the "truth behind it all."
The disappearing corpses, and that mysterious "Access card"...
The night deepened, and gradually, the morning light appeared.
When An Ke opened his eyes from the bed again, he saw the Little Tiger and the Little Leopard playing at the foot of the bed.
This time, they didn't dare disturb An Ke's sleep.
An Ke nodded in satisfaction.
As expected, after a little lesson, they behaved.
Little did he know that Jingang, who was nearby, secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it didn't dare joke with An Ke anymore.
After all, An Ke was the type to take revenge on the same day.
What if he didn't give it "V50"?
How would it eat Crazy Thursday then?
Seeing An Ke wake up, the playful Little Tiger and Little Leopard immediately ran to him and licked his face.
An Ke chuckled from the licking; it was too itchy.
Just as he pushed away the Little Tiger and the Little Wild Leopard, the golden finger's voice rang in his mind:
[Congratulations to the host for upgrading "Natural Affinity." Current Level: 3!]
"Oh? It upgraded without me noticing!!"
To be honest, An Ke was quite emotional.
After all, a few days ago, he was frantically looking forward to an upgrade to help him deal with the threat of Tiger Mom.
He just hadn't expected things to develop so far beyond his expectations.
He had recruited Tiger Mom without relying on the upgrade of "Natural Affinity."
Making her a part of the Camp.
Of course! This didn't mean An Ke wasn't happy about the upgrade of "Natural Affinity."
After all, the higher the level of "Natural Affinity," the safer he would be.
Beasts would no longer attack him.
Clearing his thoughts, An Ke got out of bed and first greeted all the animals.
Leopard Mom responded to An Ke elegantly and greeted him.
"Benefactor, good morning!"
An Ke directly ignored the greeting from Jingang, that trash-talking bird.
What a rascal.
When An Ke approached Tiger Mom, her tiger body couldn't help but shudder.
Tiger Mom looked at An Ke in surprise, sensing a difference.
It seemed as if something about An Ke was attracting her, making her want to be close to him.
If Tiger Mom had previously viewed An Ke as a partner, now she wanted to submit to him.
"Tiger Mom, good morning!"
An Ke's greeting interrupted Tiger Mom's thoughts.
She snapped back to her senses, her attitude turning respectful: "Master, good morning!"
An Ke's eyes flickered imperceptibly.
However, he just smiled and didn't say much.
As expected, Level 3 "Natural Affinity" could influence large beasts like tigers!
An Ke was in a great mood!
After washing up and eating, he planned to set off with the Hamster, Little Scar, and the other monkey.
Today, he would try to see if he could raise the exploration progress to 1% and obtain a mysterious reward.
If he delayed any longer, he feared other National Destiny Bearers would complete it first.
This was something An Ke absolutely could not accept.
The reason he didn't bring Leopard Mom or Tiger Mom was so that the two beasts could help guard the Camp.
After all, in order to increase the exploration progress, An Ke wasn't sure if he could return to the Camp tonight.
And in case of a Beast Attack, having Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom there would be safer.
