Chapter 208 The Intentions of the Rolling Sheep

Not long after the Rolling Sheep Park opened, it became a new popular attraction in the park, especially among parents with young children and the elderly.

For them, the Fantasy Park is fresh and interesting, and each project is unique. However, whether it is the monster-killing project, the Fantasy Haunted House, the Prank City and the Sky Aquarium, young children and the elderly cannot visit them often.

After all, young children's cognition of the world has not yet been established. Parents are worried that going to those places too frequently will affect their children's understanding of the world. For example, if their children go to the Sky Aquarium too often, they are afraid that they will jump from any tall building in the future. There are also elderly people. Some elderly people have weak internal organs and blood pressure, and they may die if they are overly stimulated.

In this regard, not only do park staff remind visitors, but visitors themselves also frequently take note. However, the Rolling Sheep Park is different. The animals here are truly adorable, fluffy and chubby, with big, round, bright eyes. They appear harmless and are a favorite of both the elderly and children.

When visitors enter the park, sometimes just watching these furry balls playing and eating in the sun makes them feel that the whole world has become peaceful and beautiful.

Ms. Zhao's child is a girl who is not yet two years old. She can walk very well now, but she still speaks haltingly. Since she saw the rolling sheep on the first day the Rolling Sheep Park opened, she has fallen in love with these little guys and looks forward to coming to the park every day.

As soon as I entered the park, I leaned towards the glass wall and stared at a rolling sheep eating an apple.

Not long after, the rolling sheep with lighter hair, perhaps because it was tired and wanted to change its posture, stretched out two paws from under its body and changed its position.

Ms. Zhao was a little surprised. Wasn't this one with the lightest hair Le'an, who was born without legs? How did it suddenly grow legs?

Just when Ms. Zhao suspected that she had confused Le'an with another rolling sheep, a little boy nearby suddenly shouted, "That disabled sheep is dead!"

Ms. Zhao: Hmm?

Her baby understood what she said and cried out excitedly, "Grow long legs, grow long legs..."

The child's voice was so loud and sharp that Ms. Zhao was startled and quickly covered the child's mouth, "Shh, keep it down! You're disturbing others."

The baby was sensible enough to keep silent, but his pair of round, black, and bright eyes were fixed on the rolling sheep inside. At first glance, they looked very similar to the rolling sheep's eyes.

According to the staff, the rolling sheep inside the glass wall cannot hear the noise of tourists outside, but Le'an, who was eating an apple, seemed to notice something. It slowly turned around and met Ms. Zhao's baby's eyes.

Then both of them were stunned.

Le An seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon, the lighter-colored fur ball jumped to the glass wall and approached the baby along the glass wall.

The tourists who came in to visit all exclaimed "Wow" at the same time. After all, this was the first time that a furry sheep had approached the tourists on its own initiative since the Rolling Sheep Park opened, and everyone immediately took photos and videos.

Ms. Zhao was also a little excited and encouraged her daughter to interact with the rolling sheep.

The baby girl sitting in the stroller seemed a little shy at first. She looked at Maotuanzi with her big round eyes like black grapes, then covered her mouth and looked away with a smile. After repeating this two or three times, she was finally not shy anymore. Instead, she moved her rosy and round face over and kissed Gungun Yang Le'an through the glass, leaving a wet saliva mark, then giggled and shyly retreated.

Ms. Zhao couldn't help but smile when she saw this, and the tourists around her also laughed in good faith.

Unexpectedly, the sheep inside actually responded! Through the double-layer vacuum glass, the fur ball inside actually imitated the baby's actions and kissed the same spot, leaving a wet mark.

"Wow~~" The tourists exclaimed in admiration one after another.

"Is it responding to the baby's kiss?"

"That must be it! So smart!"

"Ahhh, so sweet, the baby and the rolling sheep are both little angels!"

"If I kiss the glass now, will the fur ball respond?"

While the tourists were admiring the event, breeder Liu Meilan entered the rolling sheep park through a small door at the back.

In the past few days, there have suddenly been several disabled rolling sheep without legs in the park. Liu Meilan was also suspicious at first, but the rolling sheep looked stupid. Although they could lock the cabinets with keys to hide things, they often forgot where they hid the keys. Such rolling sheep should not pretend to be disabled in order to get free food and drinks!

Anyone else would have ripped the sheep apart to get a closer look, but Liu Meilan, after all, had once been a sheep before, even helping them escape the clutches of a dangerous animal in the experience center. She had a special bond with them. Worried that her misunderstanding might harm them, she never questioned their behavior, instead caring for them with even greater patience and care.

When she reported the incident, her boss said it was a normal occurrence and there was no need to panic. Liu Meilan wondered, since it was a newly discovered species and research hadn't been thorough, perhaps the rolling sheep shed its claws and replaced them with new ones every once in a while?

Like a snake shedding its skin?

It was not until Liu Meilan was dragged by her colleagues to watch the surveillance footage that she discovered that the sheep she had carefully cared for had no claws in front of her and looked pitiful because of their damaged bodies. Once she left, the sheep's claws came back and they were lively and energetic, without any of their previous pitiful look. Liu Meilan immediately felt that she had been deceived.

"How could this be? My colleagues have been telling tourists that it was a disabled rolling sheep, and I was the one who reported this incident in the first place. A mistake like this will only affect the park's image."

Seeing that more and more tourists recognized that the furry ball with its legs stretched out was Le'an, whom the tour guide had previously claimed to be disabled, Liu Meilan finally couldn't stay any longer and entered the park through the employee passage.

Then, in front of the tourists, he picked up the fur ball that was clinging to the glass window.

When the little furry ball Le'an saw Liu Meilan, he seemed to be startled. He stretched out his claws and then retracted them. Liu Meilan touched under his body, but only felt warm and soft fur, and could not find the claws at all.

The little furry ball in her hand was still staring at her with its big round eyes, looking very innocent.

If she hadn't calmed down for a long time in front of the surveillance camera, Liu Meilan would have softened her heart. She groped hard in the fur under the fur ball, and finally felt the fur ball's claws deeply retracted into the fur. She pulled downwards, and a claw that was thick at the top and thin at the bottom was pulled out. Liu Meilan snorted, "Little thing, you lied to me."

Under Liu Meilan's gaze, Le An blinked and retracted his claws as if nothing had happened.

Liu Meilan pulled it out again, and it retracted again. Liu Meilan pulled it out again, and it retracted again. Finally, Liu Meilan lost her temper. She sighed, rubbed Le An's head, put it back by the glass wall, and then went to take out the disabled cats she had taken care of for the past few days to check them out. Sure enough, they were all pretending!

She felt a bit amused and relieved, then rubbed them one by one. "It's okay to want delicious food, but you can't get it by lying! Don't do that again in the future."

Several fur balls of different colors huddled together, staring at her with their big eyes for a long time.

"Mee-mee~~"

She didn't get angry even though she knew it!

"Mee-mee-mee~~"

What a good human being!

Liu Meilan didn't notice all this. She went out and talked to the tour guide, who explained the situation to the tourists. She then returned to the office to explain the matter to Manager Meng. Meng Xiaodai nodded and immediately asked Accountant Song to contact the tourists who had donated to "Cancelled Me" before and ask them to return the donations.

At first, the tourists were a little surprised to see a keeper come in and take away the rolling sheep that was interacting with the tourists. When they found out that the sheep were not disabled at all, but were just a few furry balls created to get free food and drinks, the tourists suddenly burst into laughter.

On this day, the rolling sheep became a hot topic for the second time since the park opened. At first, it was because someone uploaded a video of the interaction between the furry ball and the human baby to the Internet. The sun was setting everywhere, the flowers and plants in the park were swaying in the wind, there were blurry smiling tourists in the background, and the human baby and the furry ball were drooling through the glass. The beautiful picture left a deep impression on netizens.

Many people commented that watching the video made them feel good and brought back fond memories, and some commented on how clever and adorable the furry creature was! But then the park released a new announcement: it turns out the angelic Rolling Sheep, known for its response to human babies, is actually the clever one who feigned disability to scam people for food, drinks, and donations!

——Hahahaha, I'm laughing like crazy! In the video, Le'an's claws were pulled out by the breeder, but he pretended to be innocent and pulled them back, hahaha!

——If you little cutie wants to donate, just say so. It must be so hard to pretend to be disabled, my little ones!

——I wonder who will dare to say that the Mee Mee are stupid in the future. They are so smart!

——The keeper looks extremely helpless. It must be both joyful and troublesome to deal with so many clever little ghosts!

——Wow, I really want to be a breeder. I also want to move the fur ball...

Let’s go back a few days. It was not long since the Rolling Sheep and the Red-Eyed Elf established friendship.

One evening, the Rolling Sheep accepted King Little Thorn's invitation to visit the City of Mischief. The King prepared a rich feast for them. As they ate their fill and lay on the roof of the palace gazing at the stars, the leader of the Rolling Sheep suddenly bleated. "Little King," he said, "the human who cared for us is very attentive. We want to help her daughter recover from her illness."

The hierarchy of the rolling sheep is different from that of other races. It is not fixed. Whoever has the lightest hair can be the leader.

Therefore, Le An was the leader during this period. King Little Thorn had not previously understood the Rolling Sheep, but after offering to protect them, he felt a sense of responsibility as a king, fulfilling his promise. So he crammed in on the history of the Rolling Sheep. Upon hearing that the Rolling Sheep were going to use their innate abilities to help humans, he shook his head decisively, "No, no, you can't reveal your abilities to those humans. They're just ordinary people and will surely become greedy and shameless! Not everyone is like Atalan and the headmaster."

The rolling sheep were slightly disheartened when they saw they hadn't received support from their good friends. They were, of course, well aware of their own history of abuse and hurt, but that happened many years ago. They had also learned new ways to discern whether they were being well cared for and whether their lives were comfortable. That human had been truly kind to them, and they were now living happily every day. They hoped that human would also be truly happy.

The nights in paradise were a little cold, and the rolling sheep gathered together like a huge plush blanket spread on the roof.

The little king couldn't stand his friends' pitiful looks. He rolled his eyes and suddenly broke into an evil grin. "That's easy. I'll teach you a way to test humans."

"Some very hypocritical humans will pretend to be nice to you. I think you should know this, but there's a saying among the humans here: 'It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature.' They can't keep up the pretense forever. You should deceive her, fool her, and see if she'll get angry and mad at you. If she gets furious, or even loses her temper and abuses you, it means everything she did before was just an act. Such hypocritical humans don't deserve our friendship!"

The rolling sheep looked at each other, and then they all curled their eyes at the same time, "Baa, baa, baa, little king, you are so powerful, you are so cunning!"

"Little King, I'm so lucky to have a cunning friend like you~~"

The little king stood on the roof, his cloak rustling. He waved his scepter and said proudly, "Yes, you are lucky to have my friendship."

On March 7, Liu Meilan, who was working attentively in the park, suddenly received a call from Manager Meng.

Meng Xiaodai: "Sister Liu, can you come over now?"

Liu Meilan said, "What's the matter? I'm cleaning the house for Gun Gun Sheep."

Meng Xiaodai: "Don't do it yet. The headmaster heard about your daughter's situation and recommended an expert in this field. You should take today off and take your daughter to see him! He said he is very confident about your daughter's condition and has cured her before."

Boom, boom, boom~ Liu Meilan heard the sound of her own heart beating wildly.
