Chapter 29
Self-Reliance!

In the courtyard, Abao sat on a pile of bamboo, happily munching on the fresh, tender bamboo.

After beating up the monkey group and venting his anger, Abao transformed back from a fierce fighter into the adorable little panda he usually was.

Just watching him munch on bamboo in such a cute manner, who would have imagined that he was a violent panda capable of knocking out several golden monkeys with a single paw?

He had been hit on the head by the monkeys, but he immediately dragged his master to fight back.

Now that he had calmed down, even the taste of the bamboo seemed extra delicious.

He didn't forget to share the bamboo with Lin Fan.

Sharing food, for animals, was the highest form of courtesy.

Lin Fan smiled.

Abao was vengeful, but he was also quite obedient.

This was particularly endearing.

“Abao, I need to tell you something! From now on, you have to go out and find your own food, and you have to be able to go out and explore on your own!”

Yesterday, Lin Fan went to the Bureau to report his work, including a part about Abao's health.

The Bureau clearly stated that they couldn't let a wild giant panda lose its "wildness."

In simple terms, they couldn't let the wild giant panda lose its ability to survive in the wild.

So, Lin Fan decided to let Abao explore independently, he couldn't keep taking care of him.

But when Abao heard this, he stopped eating his bamboo and climbed over to Lin Fan, wrapping his limbs tightly around Lin Fan's legs.

His round body practically hung off Lin Fan's legs.

He looked up with his big head, his face filled with a pitiful expression.

“Yingying......” (No, don't.)

Lin Fan shook his head resolutely.

Wildness was important for animals.

Without wildness, ordinary animals would become prey for predators in the mountains and forests.

And a giant panda without wildness would end up in a zoo, being gawked at by people.

This was something Lin Fan didn't want to see.

“There's no room for negotiation! Before you met me, didn't you also find your own food?”

Abao immediately started rolling on the ground, throwing a tantrum like a child.

Lin Fan pretended not to see it.

After making a fuss for a while, Abao noticed that Lin Fan wasn't paying him any attention.

He crawled over and looked up at Lin Fan with a pitiful expression.

“Yingying......” (Find, can't find, fruit.)

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood.

Abao meant that if he went out to find his own food, he wouldn't be able to find the apples soaked in spirit liquid.

Wow! He can't forget those apples!

Lin Fan was amused.

“Okay! I'll give you two apples every day, how about that?”

“Yingying......” (Five, five.)

Lin Fan was dumbfounded; Abao was even bargaining!

“No, you're not going to the market to buy vegetables! Stop bargaining! Three! I'll give you three apples every day! No more!”

Seeing Abao still waving his chubby paw, looking unwilling, Lin Fan directly said,

“If you keep bargaining, you'll only get one apple a day!”

Abao immediately put down his paw.

The audience in the live stream collectively burst out laughing.

“Pfft! Haha, Abao is so greedy! He reminds me of myself when I was a kid and didn't have enough snacks! I feel like I'm looking in a mirror!”

“He's just too cute! How can Abao be so cute! I can't handle it! Someone give me a hug and wake me up!”

“No way, he has to have a limit on apples? That's too stingy! Abao, run away from home! We can't take this anymore!”

“Baoge, you gotta stand up for yourself! You're being restricted on your apple intake? This master is not worth it!”

“That's right! Baoge, if the Money Leopard knew, wouldn't he die laughing? Run away from home!”

...

Seeing the barrage in the live stream, Lin Fan was speechless.

These silly netizens had no idea that his apples weren't ordinary apples.

They were all soaked in spirit liquid!

Animals who ate them would benefit greatly.

He hadn't even used two apples, and the group of golden monkeys couldn't resist.

They completely disregarded the danger, abandoning their advantage on the trees, to come down and fight over the apples.

Remember, golden monkeys primarily eat fruit.

They could be considered "fruit connoisseurs," right?

Even they couldn't resist the temptation of apples soaked in spirit liquid.

You could imagine how precious they were.

These precious apples were treated as common street food by the netizens in the live stream.

Lin Fan could only smile and say nothing.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Fan finished his exercises and ate breakfast, then he put on his backpack and went out to patrol the forest.

Abao saw him and quickly climbed over, stretching out his chubby paw to ask for apples.

This was their agreement; he could get two apples every day.

From today onwards, Lin Fan wouldn't be finding bamboo for him anymore.

Abao had to become self-reliant.

Seeing Abao's outstretched paw, Lin Fan was speechless.

Was he afraid that he would forget?

He even took the initiative to ask for them!

“Here!”

He took two apples out of his bag and handed them to Abao, Lin Fan said impatiently,

“There you go! Don't ask me for any more today. And! If you want to eat bamboo, you have to go out and find it yourself.”

After saying that, Lin Fan left.

After Lin Fan left, to the surprise of everyone in the live stream, Abao didn't

eat the apples immediately, like he usually did.

Instead, he hid the two apples in a corner of the courtyard!

The audience in the live stream were all stunned.

“Holy crap! Abao knows how to hide food? That's not a giant panda's habit, right?”

“Calm down! This is the intelligent Baoge! He's not an ordinary panda! He's Kung Fu Panda!”

“It's so heartbreaking! The great Baoge has to hide two apples to prevent himself from going hungry! Just in case!”

“Baoge, give me your address, I'll immediately send you a box of apples!”

......

After hiding the apples, Abao went out to find food.

However, this search led to trouble!
