Reborn five years ago, Chen Fan participates in a wilderness survival reality show that never existed before. He activates the system and teams up with the popular female star Liu Feifei right from...
The next morning, it was another day full of energy.
Perhaps it was the deerskin that made Chen Fan feel that the shelter was even a little warm the night before.
"Ah!! So comfortable, it feels so good to sleep until I naturally wake up."
After getting up, Chen Fan stretched and yawned.
Then they prepared to leave the shelter and stretch their bodies a bit.
As soon as they stepped out of the shelter, they discovered that the old wolf from yesterday had not left at all, but had remained near their shelter.
He squinted at his shelter...
"Wow, you're really persistent. You actually lay on the snow all night in this cold weather."
Chen Fan was quite surprised to see the old wolf shivering from the cold.
Although Arctic wolves have thick fur and are highly resistant to cold, this wolf was clearly old, with much of its fur missing. Imagine how cold it must have been to lie on the snow for a night.
"Looks like they've really stuck with me..." Chen Fan shook his head helplessly.
It seems that the old wolf has reached a dead end, which is why it has chosen to rely on me.
Having lost its pack, it has long lost its ability to hunt. If it cannot catch prey, it is very likely to starve to death in a short period of time.
That's why it cleverly chose to cling to itself.
Perhaps this is the only way to make ends meet.
Although it was 8 a.m., there were already more than 20 million viewers in the live stream.
After all, Chen Fan's popularity and online traffic are just too high.
"Wow, this wolf is really smart. Is it going to stick with Chen Fan directly?"
"Why don't we just take this wolf in? We can just give it a little food each day. Judging from its appearance, it probably can't hunt anymore. If we leave it alone, it might starve to death."
"That's right. Surviving alone is a very lonely thing. If you have a pet to keep you company, that loneliness and isolation will be alleviated."
"While what everyone upstairs said makes a lot of sense, have you ever considered that the creature across the street isn't a husky, but a real wild wolf, full of wildness and ferocity? What if it gets too full and turns on you and bites you instead?"
“You’re right! You only see that the old wolf as pitiful, but what if it gets full and reverts to its wolfish nature?”
...
The more than 20 million viewers in the live stream also had differing opinions.
Many people think that a lone wolf abandoned by the team is pitiful, and Chen Fan should take care of it if he has the means.
However, some people believe that wolves are inherently wild animals, and if they were to bite Chen Fan after they had eaten their fill, it would be troublesome.
Although the story of the farmer and the snake is just a fable, such things happen quite often in real life.
Even between people, the story of the farmer and the snake plays out every day.
Moreover, it was a wolf with little intelligence.
...
Chen Fan was also quite helpless.
He currently has plenty of food, more than enough to support a pet.
Moreover, his hunting skills are extremely strong. Even after he finishes eating this reindeer meat, he will continue to hunt prey.
Therefore, raising a wolf did not bring him any difficulties.
As for the threat this wolf posed to him, it might be very threatening to an ordinary person, and if he were bitten in return, he might even lose his life.
However, in Chen Fan's eyes, an old wolf that was about to die posed no threat to him.
Even a young adult wolf is less threatening than a kitten in his eyes.
So he wasn't worried about the danger at all...
"Woo-woo~~"
After seeing Chen Fan walk out of the shelter, the old wolf quickly and unsteadily stood up, then barked at Chen Fan.
The voice sounded very weak, as if it were expressing goodwill.
It's also like begging for shelter.
"Fine, fine, what can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted. You can stay here from now on!"
Looking at the pitiful old wolf, Chen Fan ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it and had no choice but to keep it for the time being.
As for how long it can live, that depends on its abilities and fate.
Then he waved to the old wolf.
Upon seeing Chen Fan's actions, Old Wolf was clearly stunned, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his cloudy eyes.
"Come here quickly~~"
Chen Fan waved to Old Wolf again.
At this moment, the old wolf seemed to realize what was happening and quickly ran towards Chen Fan with small, quick steps.
With its tongue lolling out and tail wagging, it was clearly indicating that it posed no threat.
She quickly ran up to Chen Fan.
"Alright! From now on, you'll come with me. I don't know if I can get you away in two months."
Chen Fan bent down and tried to gently stroke the old wolf's head.
However, being a wild animal, it still maintains a certain level of vigilance and caution towards humans.
Old Wolf subconsciously took a few steps back, but then looked up at Chen Fan and finally chose to return to his original spot.
He let Chen Fan rest his head on top of his own, perhaps this was the only way to build a stronger relationship.
"Not bad, I have to say you're really smart! Even a dog that's been with you for a long time might not be as intelligent as you."
Chen Fan gently rubbed the old wolf's head, a smile appearing on his face.
He never expected that the old wolf in front of him would be so intelligent.
It seems that it knew it had no ill intentions towards it, which is why it chose to compromise.
It's important to know that in real life, there are countless cases of canines that have been kept for months or even years biting their owners.
In comparison, this wild old wolf is much smarter.
"You've gotten old, so from now on I'll call you Old Bai!"
Chen Fan said with a grin.
It's just a name anyway, and it doesn't matter to him what he's called.
I doubt the old wolf would care about any of that.
Being able to fill one's stomach is already a huge blessing; nothing else seems worth caring about.
"Awoo..."
Old Bai simply called out to Chen Fan, it was unclear whether his voice indicated agreement or resistance.
The name was decided just like that.
Su Bei immediately took out two spare ribs and tossed them to Lao Bai.
"Eat up!!"
"Eat more, quickly get stronger so you can help with the hunt."
"Even though you're my pet now, you still need to work. After all, I don't need a useless pet."
After tossing the ribs in front of Lao Bai, Chen Fan spoke seriously.
Old Bai didn't seem to understand Chen Fan's words, but instead began to wolf down the ribs.
Seeing how much Lao Bai was enjoying his meal, Chen Fan also started preparing his own breakfast.
