Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Daring to Dream Bigger

As soon as Xu Ying entered the room, she noticed the lynx glaring fiercely in Liu Wenxuan’s direction, pacing back and forth.

Liu Wenxuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she stood there frozen, not daring to move.

The lynx growled in a low tone: [You vile creature, how dare you mimic my moves to provoke me! See if I don’t tear you to pieces.]

Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, then noticed the reflection in the stainless steel cabinet behind Liu Wenxuan, where a distorted image of the lynx appeared.

Xu Ying instantly understood the situation. It’s common for people to experience memory lapses, gibberish, or crying after waking from anesthesia, and the same goes for animals.

Large animals like dogs and lynxes might temporarily forget things, while smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters might chew the air, pretending to eat, which is quite adorable.

Seeing Xu Ying chuckling with amusement, Liu Wenxuan felt embarrassed and angry: “Why are you laughing at me? Are you delighting in my misfortune?”

Xu Ying pointed to the stainless steel cabinet behind Liu Wenxuan: “This lynx just woke up from anesthesia and might still be a bit confused, unable to distinguish between reality and illusions.”

“You should step out and let it be by itself for a moment.”

Liu Wenxuan turned around, glanced at the shadow on the cabinet, and suddenly realized, carefully moving out.

As soon as she moved away, the lynx immediately bared its teeth at the cabinet’s reflection, its tail puffed up like a feather duster, looking as if it was facing a formidable enemy.

It even extended its paw, attempting to scratch the “enemy” in the cabinet, only for its paw to slip off the smooth stainless steel surface and fell with a “thud,” face-first into the floor.

But the lynx didn’t stop; instead, it grew more courageously persistent.

Xu Ying thought it resembled a goofy Husky.

Once the lynx was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, it lay there for a while. Then, as if regaining consciousness, it saw Xu Ying standing at the door and rolled on the ground, showing its soft belly to her as a sign of friendliness.

Xu Ying flicked its forehead lightly: “We just stitched your surgical incisions on your belly, and you still have wounds from parasites on your body. Rolling on the ground like this, are you living too long?”

“Go back and lie down!”

The lynx looked pitiful and compliant, laying back in its big nest: [Ow, I was wrong.]

Xu Ying signaled to Liu Wenxuan that she could apply the medicine to the lynx now.

Working swiftly together, they managed to medicate the lynx. Its body was nearly covered with injuries, and the legs were severely ulcerated. It was quite resilient to have survived with such severe bites.

Xu Ying couldn’t help but ask: “Why do you have so many parasites on you?”

The lynx’s ears drooped: [I like scurrying around in the grass, don’t like grooming, or rolling around for a bath, and I dislike getting wet. When it rains, I don’t come out for a rinse; I thought being a bit dirty was no big deal.]

Turns out it’s an animal that doesn’t like baths.

Xu Ying could understand; furry animals generally dislike being wet, as their fur becomes heavy.

The lynx lowered its head, regretful: [I’ll make sure to maintain good hygiene from now on.]

This incident almost cost its leg through a misdiagnosis, leaving a psychological scar.

Xu Ying pulled up images of ticks on her phone to show the lynx: “Next time you see these bugs, make sure to have your companions help pull them out, or else the consequences can be severe. Humans can even die from tick bites, not to mention small animals.”

She imparted some knowledge on dealing with tick bites to the lynx and informed it that it could bring companions to the rescue station for help when feeling unwell.

The lynx, having learned a lesson, listened attentively this time.

Liu Wenxuan, standing by, questioned skeptically: “Does teaching them like this really work?”

“Yes, most animals are very smart.”

Xu Ying patted the lynx’s head: “It’s just that they don’t quite understand human vocabulary; you need to patiently teach them using simple methods, like teaching kindergarten kids.”

“Animals are very spiritual beings; the more love you give them, the more they reciprocate. Of course, a few are exceptionally obstinate and it’s best to respect and maintain distance from them.”

Even though the lynx couldn’t fully grasp idioms, it didn’t stop it from showing loyalty, rubbing up against Xu Ying: [I love the supervisor the most!]

Watching the infamous man-eating lynx turn into a coquettish big cat, Liu Wenxuan fell silent, deep in thought.

The headquarters dormitory was quite nice, with a four-person dorm room, but Xu Ying was the only one living there.

The dorm also had solar showers, unlike Xu Ying’s modest little broken station, which only had a separated shower area for washing and draining, requiring her to heat water herself for a bath.

After changing into the new work uniform provided by headquarters, Xu Ying crawled into bed and finally had some time to browse the internet.

She had opened a dedicated savings account for the 032 Rescue Station fund, and upon seeing a notification of three million being deposited, she sat up in bed instantly.

When the phone displayed a lock screen notification earlier in the day, she hadn’t paid much attention to the string of numbers, assuming it to be a spam loan message — little did she know this windfall would arrive so quickly.

Three million could fund a sizable pet hospital. However, to keep one running, more than three million is required.

Xu Ying resolved to demolish that Black Heart Fur Farm and earn lots more money afterwards~

Qiao Yuxi mentioned that the approval for the pet hospital donation to Xu Ying’s 032 Rescue Station was already underway, with a green channel for large-scale public donations.

Besides the pet hospital, once medical conditions improve, she also wanted to establish a furry nursery in the desert!

Many endangered animals become critically endangered because of the low survival rates of their young. Having a base that can meticulously care for animal cubs might alleviate the crisis of endangered species.

Pet hospitals, animal parks… Xu Ying found herself more daring in her dreams, holding a giant grant fund, she entered her dreams, and even her dreams were sweet.

After a restful night at headquarters’ dormitory, Xu Ying set off for the 032 Rescue Station the next morning.

The Snow Cleaning Weasels stayed at headquarters where temperatures were more favorable, and headquarters provided a specific treatment room with controllable room temperatures.

Once Xu Ying helped reunite Snow Cleaning Weasels with their companions, they would package up these little ones and send them back to Snow Mountain together.

After packing her toolbox, she ran into Liu Kai from Station 014 and Chen Danyan from Station 013, who came to the rescue station to collect medicine.

These two were drawn to the unique four-wheel all-terrain vehicle parked at the station’s entrance.

Liu Kai, with a tone full of envy, exclaimed: “Wow, whose imported four-wheel ATV is that parked at the entrance? It’s so cool! I’m dying with envy.”

Chen Danyan heard that the two students under the associate professor were from fairly wealthy families, especially Qi Xingchen, whose family ran a chain of pet hospitals, so she subconsciously assumed the ATV belonged to Mr. Qi.

Intrigued, she wondered aloud: “Is it Mr. Qi’s? I wonder if I can hitch a ride with him for a mission.”

However, the next moment, they watched as Xu Ying strode out of the main station hall and confidently mounted the ATV.

The expressions on both their faces immediately fell.
