Tiger Dad and Baby Show is a Hit
This is a lush primeval forest.
The tall trees are lush and green, with the flourishing crowns above almost blocking out the sun, while the sturdy roots below crisscross like dragons, dotted with various mosses and lichens, full of natural atmosphere.
If you listen carefully, you can hear not only the chirping of birds, but also the sound of gurgling water and the sound of unknown small animals stepping on fallen leaves. This is simply a paradise for wildlife lovers.
only……
[Uh, did I enter the wrong live broadcast room? Isn’t the title a baby show? Whose baby show is in the primeval forest? ! ]
[This is ridiculous. Going to the wild to be on a variety show for kids? ? Just change the name to "Wild Survival". Don't forget that you have kids! ]
[No, this program group is too outrageous, right? ]
[When I entered the live broadcast room, I wanted to complain about how the careless stepfather who raised his child in reverse could become so popular, but at the beginning, he did this... What? Do you want your child to climb trees and pick fruits? ? ]
There are very few live broadcast rooms that can make viewers complain like this right from the start.
After all, the purpose of the live broadcast room is to rationalize the plot of the small world, rather than to operate in the opposite direction and move towards a more outrageous development!
This kind of operation is definitely useless. Even if the live broadcast ends, the corresponding small world cannot be formed!
But even though they were criticized like this, no one in the live broadcast room gave any explanation.
It just quietly records such beautiful and tranquil natural scenery, and it was so justified that several viewers clicked on it to take a look, wondering if they had clicked on the theme of farming and cultivating immortals.
After repeated confirmation, the dad of the baby show became a hit, and all the key words were not missed.
When they clicked into the live broadcast room again, they were ready to start criticizing, but unexpectedly saw something strange in the camera.
Swoosh——
A giant beast with colorful fur quickly passed between the tree trunks far away from the camera and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only this stunning glimpse in the audience's retinas.
The familiar pattern made many viewers dazed for a moment.
Then, there was a scream that almost made one's soul leave the body.
"roar--!"
The sound traveled far away, startling the birds and animals. Almost the entire forest was shaking. Some spectators even saw a fawn not far away that fell several times while running away in panic.
Apparently, an extremely powerful predator had just passed by.
If it were just that, it would seem normal. After all, in such a primeval forest, there would certainly be predators at the top of the food chain.
The key is——
[It's so fierce, was that a South China tiger just now? ? ]
[A dark orange fur, and living in this kind of forest... that should be it? ]
[Ahhh, a wild South China tiger?! I can actually see one in my lifetime! Oh my god!]
[But, it looks so big, it can't be a South China tiger...? ]
[Hiss, that's right. It would be easier to identify it if I could see its face clearly. Unfortunately, it ran too fast.]
[Ah, I hope it's true. After all, the South China tiger is already extinct in the wild in reality. I'm really happy to see a wild one here!!]
The appearance of the suspected South China tiger made the audience excited, and they all looked forward to seeing the tiger's facial features clearly to confirm its identity when it returned from hunting. But at this moment, the camera seemed to sing the opposite tune and directly changed the scene.
From the lush primeval forest, we directly switch to the pure white interior.
[…Camera, you understand the effects of the show.]
[Ouch! What are you doing! ! ]
[Whatever, nothing is as exciting as a wild South China tiger now, cut it back! I don’t want to see human cubs anymore!!]
The camera ignored the audience's strong protests and continued filming.
Helplessly, the audience can only observe the new scene.
The room is very large and has various facilities for rest and entertainment. It looks very interesting.
But the most eye-catching thing is the transparent display screen in the center.
Considering the live broadcast footage that is essential for variety shows, the audience speculated that this was probably the behind-the-scenes of the variety show production crew.
This seems to be the case -
Several staff members in white were talking:
"Is everyone ready?"
"Well, they are all in good condition, and the cubs are full of energy."
"Is the forest in good condition? Can we really let them go down?"
"There's plenty of food there, don't worry. Besides, even the little ones should learn to live on their own..."
"We've also prepared some lean meat to put in. If it doesn't work, it can last for a few days. Anyway, let's give it a try."
The amount of information was so overwhelming that the audience was shocked.
Although I vaguely sensed a sense of incongruity, it was overshadowed by the fact that "the kid show is actually going to the primeval forest."
[What?! Is this true? ? ]
[No way, no way, whose kid is going to the primeval forest? ? ]
[This is totally wilderness survival!! I thought the camera was joking just now, but it turns out that the program team only plans to provide raw meat. Is this really like going back to primitive society and eating raw meat and drinking blood?! ]
[I don’t know how big the cub is in this kid show, but no matter how big it is, it can’t be thrown in here, right? As far as I know, there will be various tasks in the kid show. How can I survive in this environment...]
[Haha, I guess a few kids will randomly starve to death.]
It really doesn't make sense, and viewers have been questioning it, thinking that this live broadcast room is purely for attracting attention, and maybe it's intended to satisfy some people's hobbies of killing.
Until, they thought that the program director turned on the large transparent display screen in the center.
However, the person on the screen was not the human with cubs as they thought, but...
Tigers.
The barrage of comments suddenly became silent.
At this time, the narrator, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, finally spoke:
"The most popular variety show about raising children is on again."
"The guests participating in this event come from all walks of life, including not only popular female stars, but also extreme sports enthusiasts and even ordinary people."
"In the variety show, guests will complete tasks with their children and receive rewards."
Audience: …
[Awesome, this is the first time I've seen this kind of variety show for kids, I've learned a lot. ]
[Release back into the wild? No wonder... everything before suddenly makes sense! ]
[Wow, so the baby was released into the wild? Hiss, bringing the cubs to survive plus the ubiquitous recording camera, damn reasonable! ]
[Wow, they are all South China tigers! The big cats are so beautiful, and the little tiger cubs are also cute! Round heads and round brains! I will kiss them all to death! ]
[Hiss, it doesn't look that big. The third one is a male tiger with cubs, right? Why doesn't it look that big? ]
[It is said that the South China tiger was quite large in its heyday, but the current data is based on individuals with genetic degeneration after inbreeding, so they appear very small. It seems that this small world should restore this actual situation. ]
[So, the creature we just saw in the forest wasn't a South China tiger, right? Sigh...]
[It has long been declared extinct in the wild, and it is probably the same here.]
Although there was some emo in the discussion about the survival status of the South China tiger, the cries of the tiger cubs coming from the screen still perked up the audience.
"roar!!"
“Ouch!”
“Woo…”
On the screen, the tiger cubs have round heads and innocent eyes, and they look just like slightly older cats.
During the boring journey, they either interact and play with their parents' tails, or entertain themselves with toy balls in the room. No matter what they are doing, they look super cute.
【Cute! Big cat, big cat! 】
[I totally fell in love with her. How can she be so cute? 】
[If it's this kind of baby, I can understand why baby variety shows are so popular, so cute! ]
[Although they don’t look wild… I hope that in this world, the South China tiger can be successfully reintroduced into the wild and return to nature. Come on, little tigers.]
Knowing the special settings of the live broadcast room, the audience can now fully understand the conversation of the so-called "program team".
By the way, the audience also successfully matched several tigers with the characters mentioned by the narrator.
The beautiful tigress in room number one is the female star Hope.
Since childhood, Hope has attracted much attention because of its gentle temper and beautiful looks, and has gained many fans. Especially after it took in two motherless tiger cubs, people loved it even more.
In addition to the two foreign cubs, Xiwang has two of his own. The four cubs are named after the sun, moon, and stars, representing the keepers' blessings for them.
The lazy tiger in room two is the extreme athlete Yue Tian.
Because he had shown a liveliness and activity that was different from other tigers since he was young, and was keen on various training toys, Yuetian was once regarded as the tiger with the greatest potential for successful rewilding.
Not long ago, its mate in the park died of dystocia. To everyone's surprise, Yuetian took the initiative to take on the responsibility of raising the cubs. Although he was careless most of the time, he could be considered a father who would play with toys with the children.
Number Three…
Number Four...
As they watched, the audience became a little confused.
[Where is that amateur? Based on my keen intuition, it must be the protagonist! ]
[These guys don’t look like ordinary people… They all have stories. Amateurs should be the kind that no one would know if they didn’t appear on the show, right? ]
[Uh, is it possible that someone will drop in later? ]
While discussing, the people in the camera switched the screen, and the original picture was replaced by a large forest from a bird's-eye view.
【Wow, what a huge forest! 】
[This area...hiss, something feels wrong. Isn't there a town around? ]
[Where did you find that place? The South China tiger was originally hunted on a large scale because it could not escape from human habitats. If there were such a place, they would definitely not have ended up in that place.]
But the information that was learned next completely shocked the audience.
The background of this world is much more complicated than they imagined.
First of all, this is already the interstellar age.
After their journey through space, humans found a new home and, of course, brought with them a huge gene pool from their fellow humans on Earth.
After a brief period of confusion and chaos, people began to miss their homeland.
Therefore, they took great pains to select a planet that could restore the mother planet. After adjusting the environment step by step, they began to slowly release various animal companions that had been revived by technological means.
In other words, they created a mirror planet where humans do not exist but everything is exactly the same as the Blue Planet.
At this stage of development, they no longer need to compete with other animals and plants for resources. They only hope that they can develop freely on the planet without being disturbed.
The results were also very good.
Most of the plants and animals are doing well, except for some animals that are already endangered and have monotonous genes.
The South China tiger is one of them.
The genes have already degenerated due to inbreeding, and the gene pool is extremely monotonous. Even in the interstellar age, it is still difficult to deal with it, and we can only try the most primitive methods.
...What's more, there was an accident before.
They did not have the extravagant hope of releasing the tigers back into the wild this time. They just used this place as a temporary nursery. Their main purpose was to hope that these tigers, big and small, could awaken some of the wildness in their genes.
We can't always stay in the breeding base on the main planet.
[Wow, is this even possible? ]
[But, it feels okay! Many animals have lost their habitats due to human expansion, but this won’t happen here! ]
[Wow, but what do Starman want?]
[Does it have to be a motive? It would be uncomfortable if humans were the only ones in a strange galaxy! ]
[Think about it, if it were me, I would definitely be happy to watch a documentary about this planet. It’s very interesting to think about it! ]
The audience was discussing heatedly, and on the screen, it was time to release this batch of South China tigers.
"Are the positioning devices and micro-photography ready? We can't make any mistakes this time."
The woman with a serious face, who was obviously the leader of the group, asked this.
A response came from below:
"Of course, I checked it several times!"
"The mistake made at the beginning will not happen again... It's a pity that the tube is gone."
"Confirmed. The protective shield was activated early to ensure that the place where the tigers landed was a paradise."
"In addition to the animals that originally lived naturally in the mountains, we also added some poultry meat to solve the problem that the tigers were afraid to forage for food in the early stage."
The woman nodded, turned to look at the assistant beside her, and indicated that they could prepare for the launch.
The training and release in the interstellar people's cognition, which is also the variety show for kids described in the live broadcast room, has officially begun.
The originally peaceful primeval forest now has some mysterious outsiders.
The camera moves to family number one - tigress Hope and her four cubs.
“Ouch!”
When they woke up and found themselves in a strange environment, the four little tigers were obviously frightened. They timidly stretched their heads to explore the surroundings, and looked at their mother from time to time to gain courage.
I hope you are more familiar with this set.
The tigress lay lazily on the ground, letting the cub run around, but she had no intention of exploring the environment.
Smacking its lips, it felt a little hungry, so it turned over to expose its belly and barked a few times.
After a while, Hope raised his head with a little confusion.
Um? ?
Why hasn't the meat arrived yet?
After waiting patiently for a while, the familiar little robot still didn't fly over with the meat, and Hope suddenly became unhappy.
It opened its mouth and shouted angrily:
“Ah!!”
Narration Probe:
"On the first day of the variety show recording, the spoiled female star threw a tantrum because the address she was assigned was not what she wanted and blamed the production team."
"It thought the program hadn't started recording yet, but it didn't know that everything had been recorded."
Audience: …
[Ah? ? The female star is throwing a tantrum? ? ]
[What the hell is this? Hahaha, it feels so weird. ]
[But, it has lost its wildness. I just saw a deer running behind it! Go catch it!]
The camera moves to family number two - the male tiger Yuetian and his cubs.
For some reason, Yuetian looked a little tense.
No, I'm even a little scared.
“Hoo—Hoo—”
The male tiger was panting, and there seemed to be fear in its eyes. After only staying here for more than ten minutes, it could no longer bear it and ran away.
The cub looked confused. When it saw its father running away, it quickly chased after him. Its four short legs were almost leaving afterimages.
Narrator:
"And extreme athletes didn't expect that cameras would be everywhere, and they were caught panicking and losing their composure on the first day."
"Netizens were amazed. They didn't expect that the tough-looking athlete was actually so timid and was so scared when he arrived in an unfamiliar place."
Audience: …
[Uh, let's think calmly. It's normal to panic when you come to an unfamiliar environment, right? ]
[I'm not afraid of the female tiger next door, what's wrong with this one? 】
[Is it because the training is not enough? ]
Afterwards, the camera also showed the reactions of family number three and family number four. The two big tigers were relatively calm. They didn't give up directly like Xiwang, nor were they as scared as Yuetian.
It's good enough if it's just ordinary.
Observing the impact of micro-surveillance, people are still quite relieved.
At least it didn't disappear after I put it down, that's not bad...
However, problems arose the next day.
Coincidentally, the big tigers ignored the wild boars and sika deer that were everywhere, and only caught the small amount of poultry that were released artificially.
The little tigers just looked at the live chickens and rabbits stupidly, with no intention of attacking at all. One little tiger was even frightened by a chicken flapping its wings.
There was food everywhere in the mountains, but on the first day they arrived, many tigers were hungry.
Other families are fine, but families with four children are under the greatest pressure.
People had originally considered this situation, so they specifically placed their hopes on places with the highest food density.
Logically speaking, as long as he was willing to hunt, he should be able to feed four cubs easily.
People are also very optimistic that as long as they want to start hunting, they can directly teach the four cubs to be independent. This is so efficient!
result--
The desire to only eat small animals inexplicably creates survival pressure, and the only thing to do is to fill their own stomachs, and they can only choose to feed the cubs.
Two cubs were barely able to fill their stomachs, while the other two were dizzy with hunger.
hiss……
This is not a good situation.
People who had been observing from the sidelines for a few days felt something was not right and planned to withdraw the Hope group first.
But to everyone's surprise, things took a turn for the better one day.
Today, it is another biased feeding.
Hope once again selectively fed only the two healthier cubs; the other two cubs weakly pried at it, but it dodged them.
It is her nature to consider survival even if it is a mother.
“Woo…”
The little tiger Chenchen circled around his mother's feet pleadingly. His steps were weak and his young body could not bear the hunger.
But this time, it was still rejected by its mother.
There was no other way, Chenchen could only suppress his fear and stay where he was, guarding the place where the tender meat had appeared, hoping to get a meal.
Hope seemed to look back at it, but didn't say anything. It just led the remaining three cubs away.
Flutter.
At this moment, a hare suddenly appeared, hopping and jumping, and eating the grass with its three-lobed mouth.
The little tiger looked at it from behind, with desire in his eyes.
But it was not craving for the rabbit's flesh and blood, but for the rabbit's ability to eat grass - because the next second, Chenchen tentatively bit the grass next to him and successfully made himself look aggrieved.
The audience was speechless for a moment.
[Good boy! There is really no wildness at all! ]
[It's sad to see this, but... there's food everywhere! Go ahead and eat it!]
[It seems that these big cats are not used to food with fur. Were they fed with processed meat when they were raised before? ]
That's right.
The people on the spaceship regretted this very much.
At first, they only wanted to raise more of these precious South China tigers and take care of them meticulously, even plucking the hair from the meat before feeding them. However, they didn't expect that at this time, all the mines they had buried before would explode.
Oh, it’s too difficult.
"Let's take Chenchen back first."
Someone sighed: "After all, it is a precious South China tiger. We can't just watch it starve to death there. Bring it back. If it really doesn't work, don't force it. At least it can live in peace in the zoo."
As for the subsequent release, let’s first see how the other tigers perform.
However, as it stands now, the situation is not optimistic.
"……ah!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from beside him.
"Quick! Look!"
"What's wrong? What did you see?"
The man turned around in confusion and his breathing suddenly stopped.
That is——
The audience was still joking.
[I, the bunny, actually made the tiger sigh at my back today! ]
[I, Xiaocao, have successfully disgusted the tiger today! ]
[Hahaha, you guys are too much. I was already upset because I couldn't find anything to eat! ]
[It's okay. Since there are people watching behind the scenes, the little tiger shouldn't starve to death, right? ]
[Alas, how pitiful...]
The first thing that made the audience feel something was wrong was the strange reaction of the little tiger Chenchen.
Originally, it was drowsy under the tree, so hungry that its eyes turned black.
But at a certain moment, the ominous smell in the air made it tremble with fear, its hair stood on end, and its ears became puffy.
Opening his hazy eyes, the little tiger saw a huge creature in the forest -
A sturdy physique several times larger than it, deep-colored colorful fur, shoulder blade muscles that sway slightly when walking, emotionless animal eyes, and sharp lips stained with blood...
The little tiger's heart was pounding and he almost fainted from fright.
Even though life in captivity has made it lose its hunting ability, the fear of its powerful peers in its genes is sending out an alarm that is almost enough to make its brain dizzy.
Danger!
Very dangerous!!
The little tiger wanted to run, but its limbs were so weak that it failed to run. Instead, it tripped over a tree root and fell headfirst.
At the same time, the giant beast in the distance glanced here, suddenly turned around, and walked towards where the little tiger was.
“Ah…”
The little tiger was panicked. He finally stood firm and wanted to run, but he felt the ground was shaking. He looked back and saw that the big tiger, which was originally walking slowly, actually sped up and ran towards him when he saw that he wanted to run.
The little tiger had never seen such a huge species before.
When the tiger ran, it even felt the ground shaking.
In just a few breaths, the big tiger suddenly came to the side of the little tiger.
With a burning breath, the big tiger directly stopped the little tiger under him and slowly lowered his head. The blood around his mouth had not yet dried, and it seemed that it would be covered with fresh hot blood again.
“Oh my god…”
Everyone, including the audience in the live broadcast room, couldn't help but look away.
"Ah! Ah!"
The little tiger was still calling out in vain. Perhaps in the next second, its voice would stop forever.
“Ah——”
The sound did stop.
But it was not because the little tiger's throat had been bitten off by the strange big tiger, but because the big tiger bit the back of its neck and lifted it up.
People behind the surveillance: ? ?
The audience in the live broadcast room: ? ?
ah?
Narrator (smiling): The stepfather setting, look at you guys making such a fuss
The background is special. If there are any inaccuracies, just treat them as idealized treatments...
It can be seen as a sequel to Star Puppy World.
Some information found: Before the South China tiger declined, the average weight of an adult male tiger might be over 160k or even close to 170kg.
In its heyday, the Chinese tiger (there are two subspecies of the South China tiger and the North China tiger, but the mainstream believes that it belongs to the South China tiger) was not small. Some scholars believe that it was second only to the Western tiger and the Bengal tiger. The current data on South China tigers are all data on genetically degraded individuals.
This is the hypothesis used here. The protagonist is a South China tiger whose genes have not declined, so it is super strong.
