Chapter 980: Observation and Recording

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Talking about it, Zhang Zian really admired Vladimir. Before that, it was the one who was hurrying to go out and solve the problem. But now, after they had left the house, it was the one who was saying not to be too hurried.

He picked up his phone to take a look. Ever since the Navigation Elfin announced the temporary maintenance notice, his phone was constantly in his hand. He wanted to see if the game would return to normal as scheduled. In less than five minutes from the announced time, perhaps it was just three to four minutes, the Navigation Elfin had already appeared on screen, and everything was as normal.

Due to the unexpected maintenance, the Navigation Elfin did not say anything else, and did not give any notification as to whether the hole had been fixed. Anyway, Vladimir could still freely travel in and out of the shop.

He did not have any need to capture or release elfins now, so he temporarily exited the game.

Little Celery’s form teacher had already told the security guards at the entrance of the school. Otherwise, Zhang Zian would not be able to enter the school so easily.

The primary school was very quiet, and there was not a single person to be found. He and Little Celery walked around the classroom area and walked to the feeding room at the back of the school. The feeding room door was open, and inside there were a few small figures moving about. He could hear the sharp voices of young girls.

“Everyone, I brought Brother Store Manager here!” Little Celery greeted loudly.

Wang Yaning, who was wearing glasses like a little adult, frowned. “I said already we don’t need to call him over. This is something we can deal with ourselves. Why do we need to call him?”

“But...” Little Celery wanted to explain.

“Eh? Why did he bring a cat here?” Wang Yaning noticed Vladimir behind Zhang Zian’s back, and started to wave his hand outwards like she was chasing chickens and ducks. “Get out! Get out! This is where we keep hamsters. How could you bring a cat here? If it bites the hamsters and kills it, who will take responsibility?”

There was a boy next to her who said, “But these hamsters were originally given to us by him...”

Wang Yaning said, “...Still, we cannot let that happen. If it is given to us, then it’s ours now.”

Zhang Zian just wanted to say that Vladimir would not harm the hamsters when Vladimir pulled on the corner of his pants and said, “No worries, I can take the opportunity to walk around nearby. I’ll see you in a while!”

After saying that, it quickly ran off.

Wang Yaning adjusted his glasses. She looked at him, then looked at Vladimir who ran off. She asked strangely, “You cat has run away, aren’t you going to chase it?”

“Why do I need to chase it? The sky must rain; the mother must marry someone. Just let it go where it wants to go!”

Perhaps it was due to Vladimir’s influence, Zhang Zian casually used a famous saying from a famous person, but sadly that group of primary school children did not understand the meaning behind it.

Little Celery seriously explained, “Brother Store Manager’s cats won’t run away. It’ll definitely come back in a while.”

Wang Yaning had a face of indifference.

After interacting with him a few times, Zhang Zian had long understood Wang Yaning’s personality. She was the kind of student that was often seen with a serious face. She did not have many expressions towards his classmates, but she smiled a lot at teachers, and was a model student that was likely to complain to teachers about other students behind their backs.

As to those kinds of primary school students, Zhang Zian could only express that he could not afford to provoke her. He also did not wish to cause trouble between Little Celery and her because of him. The good thing was that Little Celery and Wang Yaning’s relationship was quite good, but the little boys next to them had the same feelings as Zhang Zian. In the face of Wang Yaning’s ordering them about, they always resigned to adversity.

“There’s a hamster that’s about to give birth!” A boy hurriedly said, breaking the awkward atmosphere at the doorway.

The multiple people at the door rushed in with shouts, and Zhang Zian managed to follow behind them.

That group of pupils always put their feelings into hamsters. At first, they put the male hamster and the female hamster together, claiming they wanted to give the baby a healthy and warm home. Zhang Zian repeatedly stressed that the hamster could not be mixed together to be reared several times before they gave in. Otherwise, they would only see the female hamster and the skin of the male hamster.

Besides for the hamsters during mating, the hamsters definitely could not be reared together. The animals were often cannibals, and if they were not careful, it would cause those who had them as pets to witness a tragedy between hamsters.

They did not have any guilt towards their same species, and because of that, when female hamsters gave birth to baby hamsters, it was even more dangerous. It could not be scared, otherwise, the female hamster could kill the baby hamster that was just born or eat it.

Zhang Zian, as an adult, had wide steps and ran fast as soon as he saw quite a few primary school children rush to the side of the hamster cage to watch the process of the baby hamster being born. He instantly ran two steps to stop them.

“Don’t all go together––two to three is enough. If there are too many people the female hamster will be scared,” he said.

Wang Yaning frowned again. “But we need to submit a rearing report. Observing the complicated birth process is a very important event!”

Zhang Zian was very worried for her future. If it continued like this, perhaps before she was 30 years old, her forehead would be full of wrinkles...

“Don’t be so old fashioned. People must learn to be versatile and adaptive. You can have two or three representatives that will record the whole birth process using their phones and then they can share it with other people to see. Isn’t this better? A recorded film can be watched as many times as you want,” Zhang Zian said.

Nowadays, many primary school children had their own phones. Of the primary school children present, at least half of them had their phones with them.

Wang Yaning did not know what to say to that.

After a short discussion, it was decided that Wang Yaning, Little Celery, and another boy, along with Zhang Zian, would observe from a close distance and film. The rest of the primary school children would wait at the side and prepare to help at any moment.

Zhang Zian lifted his finger to his lips, lowering his voice and saying, “After you come close, even if the sky falls, don’t make loud noises. If you want to speak, you can only speak like that.”

The rest of the people nodded. Only Wang Yaning twitched her lips, an indifferent look on her face.

Those who had phones raised up their phones and opened their cameras. Little Celery did not have a phone and borrowed one from someone else.

When he got close to the hamster cage, Zhang Zian held his breath and observed carefully, only to see a plump, hairy, female hamster sitting in the sawdust like a ball waiting for delivery. She was just sitting, which was a special feature of hamsters. They were used to sitting and giving birth, rather than standing or lying on their side like many animals.

Not long after, a baby hamster that was purplish red appeared from the female hamster’s stomach. The baby hamster’s body was smooth, with not a single hair on it. Its eyes were also closed, and where the eyes should have been were two blurry black spots.

Little Celery mouthed and asked, “This is the baby hamster?”

Zhang Zian nodded soundlessly, not blaming her for her question. A hamster that had just been born was very different from a mature hamster.

Suddenly, Wang Yaning shouted in shock, her expression full of disgust, “Ah! It’s eating the baby hamster!”

Zhang Zian wanted to raise his hand and slap her. He had reminded her not to speak loudly just now. It was just like playing the piano for a cow. Even if the female hamster was not planning on eating the baby hamster, after being scared by her, even if it was originally not going to eat it, it would have to eat it now.
