Chapter 25 Successful research and development requires maintaining a rigorous and responsible attitude at all times…
With a mix of curiosity and amusement, Shi Wan clicked on the customer service hotline to see what message it had sent.
"Miao: The system has detected that the agent's work has reached a bottleneck. According to the contract terms, the system can perform agent analysis. Based on the results, the system recommends that the agent try using green-lipped mussel powder to replace some of the carbohydrates."
The theoretical support is as follows: 1. Provides natural glucosamine, reducing inflammation and protecting joint health; 2. Rich in Omega-3, relieving skin inflammation and nourishing hair; 3. Unique flavor, enhancing palatability; 4. Extremely low risk of allergic reactions and low cost.
Shi Wan was stunned, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Green-lipped mussel powder? Oh yeah! How come I didn't think of that! It's a good source of protein and nutrients, and it can also reduce the proportion of carbohydrates!"
As if her meridians had been opened, she immediately began to adjust her own formula according to the instructions.
Add green-lipped mussel powder, and then fine-tune the ratio of rabbit meat and pumpkin powder...
After several simulations of the specific proportions, the simulated compass finally generated a near-perfect, full pentagonal pattern.
The palatability forecast finally settled at a solid 9 points, and the cost figure she had been worried about finally changed from a glaring red to an acceptable green.
What excited her the most was the data kitten's reaction.
The kitten, which had been reserved and calm, suddenly became all eyes-bright and drooling. It plunged into the cat food bowl in front of it, eating without even lifting its head, and even used its front paws to scoop up food and stuff it into its mouth, as if that wasn't enough.
A new message popped up in the chat bubble: Delicious Fragrant Grain! Pudding loves it!
Shi Wan let out a long sigh, a tired but incredibly satisfied smile appearing on her face.
The path to research and development truly is paved with countless failures and a few helpful hints before success is achieved...
She meticulously noted down the final recipe and proportions, preparing to input it into the cat food production machine and then try producing some first.
However, the finished product still needs to be sent for testing and undergo some necessary tests.
For example, stability and universality, ensuring that the safety performance of this new cat food meets her desired effect.
Once the formula is finalized, the next step is to prepare the raw materials.
"Looks like it's time." She took a deep breath, went to the livestock area, and unlocked the rabbit cage breeding card that had been forgotten in the corner of her system inventory for a long time.
The next second, a prompt pops up on the system interface: Unlock the standardized energy-saving rabbit cage group?
Below is a smaller line of text explaining: "Miaomiao King is specially designed for Miaomiao Mimi Farm, including automatic feeding and cleaning systems, as well as rabbit health monitoring functions—making rabbit farming easy and worry-free!"
She decisively clicked "confirm".
After a soft light, a set of exquisitely designed white rabbit cages, divided into several small compartments, appeared out of thin air on an open space next to the chicken coop, blending naturally with the other buildings and layout of the farm.
The rabbit cages and chicken coops were separated by a distance, and Shi Wan planned to leave some open space between the two cages to plant some trees.
Shi Wan also took a walk around the chicken coop next door to inspect it.
After the quail stopped being watched by a large number of outside cats, its mood became much more stable, and the number of eggs it laid also became much more stable.
However, the eggs of the quail were still too small. Shi Wan was considering replacing them with a breed of chicken that lays larger eggs and is more nutritious after this batch of quail were naturally culled.
Currently, the chickens used for meat are still Sanhuang chickens. Shi Wan suddenly had a craving for chicken soup, so she took one to a nearby market and asked someone to help her process it.
She gestured for a long time but still didn't dare to make a move.
After processing it, she took it home, added some cordyceps flowers and mushrooms, and stewed it together. It was so fragrant that she drank several bowls of it.
When she hired someone to kill a chicken, the owner even asked her where she bought it, saying it was of very high quality.
Thinking of the taste of that chicken soup, Shi Wan couldn't help but swallow.
I'm thinking of inviting Wang Zhizhi over sometime to make chicken soup again, since she loves chicken soup the most.
Most importantly, she even dared to kill chickens.
The rabbit cages provided by the system are more refined than those in a typical rabbit farm, and each cage has a larger activity area, making them look very clean and tidy.
Next, she opened the dedicated breeding section page in the system store.
The page popped up instantly, like a beautifully illustrated encyclopedia, listing all sorts of rabbit breeds.
New Zealand rabbit – The rabbit in the picture is pure white, with beautiful pink eyes, large, erect ears, and a sturdy build.
The detailed description below reads: "The king of cost-effective meat production! Fast weight gain, high meat yield, the top choice for cat kings!"
Rex rabbit – The rabbit in the picture has fine, thick fur that looks and feels great to the touch, reminiscent of some rabbit fur products on the market.
The product description reads: "Furry rabbits, with their warm and cozy fur, are the perfect nest for the feline king!"
The Netherland Lop rabbit—the little guy in the picture has golden fur, big droopy ears, and round, bright eyes; it's absolutely adorable.
The description made Shi Wan want to buy one immediately: "Pet-level cuteness! Gentle temperament, suitable for enhancing the overall cuteness of the farm (can't compare to a cat, but Meow King suggests it's best used as a mascot."
...
Shi Wan looked at the New Zealand rabbit's "pragmatic" explanation, then at the innocent big eyes of the Dutch Lop rabbit, and was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
“No, no,” she shook her head, trying to regain her composure. “We’re a legitimate farm, not a pet shop. We have to stay professional!”
Her finger moved to the New Zealand rabbit option.
Just as she was about to press the button, she caught a glimpse of Tangyuan squatting to the side, curiously watching the rabbit cage.
Tangyuan rummaged through the rabbit cage, and the adorable image of the lop-eared rabbit seemed to be reflected in the eyes of the mandarin ducks.
Shi Wan: You're making it very difficult for me to decide...
“…Never mind.” Shi Wan sighed, but a smile appeared on her face. “Beauty is justice.”
“Only children make choices. As a temporary farmer, of course I want both.”
She ultimately chose the New Zealand rabbit.
After all, I have a responsibility to Pudding.
However, she purchased two additional Dutch Lop rabbits and confirmed the order.
The light flashed again, and new residents moved into the rabbit cage. They curiously looked around their new environment, their noses twitching rapidly, their three-lobed mouths chewing incessantly, as if they were already eating the freshest grass.
Shi Wan squatted outside the cage, watching the fluffy new employees. The mascots also obediently huddled inside the cage, still radiating cuteness.
Shi Wan thought it would be better to buy a separate rabbit cage online and then move the two lucky rabbits to the wooden house separately.
Rabbit feed is prepared in much the same way as chicken feed, consisting of a combination of roughage and concentrate, with the addition of green fodder to improve the diet.
To make it easier for rabbits to gain weight.
The little rabbit I just bought has snow-white fur that feels very soft to the touch, like a puddle of water in my hand.
Shi Wan gently touched its long, thick ears, which stood upright. The color inside the earlobes was the same as its eyes—pink—making it look very cute.
This adorable rabbit is a meat rabbit; it must taste delicious...
Shi Wan's mother is from Sichuan Province. When she was a child, she went back to her hometown with her mother and ate rabbit hot pot several times before she realized that she was eating rabbit meat.
Perhaps because she had already eaten it several times, Shi Wan accepted it well and did not experience the scene her mother had worried about, where the little girl would burst into tears after hearing that she had eaten the rabbit.
Unfortunately, she hasn't been back to Sichuan Province for a long time since her mother passed away.
Shi Wan carefully put the rabbit back into the cage. She had bought more than half of the rabbits, and the rest were baby rabbits and juvenile rabbits.
Not far away, a group of cat employees, led by Tangyuan, had quietly come over and discovered these moving new things.
They stood at a distance that wasn't too far, their heads held high, maintaining an expression somewhere between "surveillance" and "curiosity," their eyes fixed on the little rabbit in the cage, its tail tip swaying slightly with a hint of doubt.
Shi Wan mischievously waved her hand in front of the cats, trying to block their gaze from the rabbit.
The cats were also focused on their own things, ignoring Shi Wan. They followed her movements, swaying their heads left and right, and even took a couple of steps away to get away from her, their eyes fixed on these unfamiliar "colleagues".
Shi Wan could only be thankful that these rabbits weren't like quails; they wouldn't just snap and die in front of her if she stared at them for too long...
However, she cannot relax yet, as there are still some raw materials that she does not have on her farm and are not suitable for purchase from the system for her own breeding and production.
For example, mussels.
It's absurd that something like this would grow on her little farm.
She contacted many raw material manufacturers, wrote down more than a dozen phone numbers, called them one by one to ask about prices, and ordered some from each one, planning to compare the quality after receiving them.
It was almost dark when I finished the phone call.
Shi Wan, clutching her empty stomach, opened the refrigerator, unsure of what to cook for herself.
Finally, they found a dark brown block of ice in the freezer compartment.
She thought back and realized it was the broth from her last braised beef, which she had portioned out and frozen in the refrigerator.
Let's just cook noodles then.
She threw the ice cubes into the pot to cook, and in the meantime, she went to the side to feed the hungry cats.
The cats looked even hungrier than she was, burying their heads in the food bowls without even looking up.
Shi Wan cooked a small bundle of raw ramen noodles, picked a handful of sweet potato vines from the ground and cooked them in, and didn't forget to add an egg for herself.
I do regret that I only remembered to portion out the soup and didn't include any frozen beef pieces.
If there were a piece of beef, it would smell so good...
While eating, Shi Wan remembered something. She opened the system's customer service page. After receiving the suggestion from customer service, she happily sent a thank you and went to try it out.
Now that I have some free time, I'm in a good mood and I'm chatting with customer service.
"Agent: Did you go to learn about evolution? Or upgrade the system? Why are you offering me suggestions so proactively today? You didn't say this when I asked for your help before."
Moreover, she remembered that in previous conversations, she always had the nickname "Agent," while customer service representatives never had names or nicknames, so she always felt that the person on the other end of the customer service line was an AI.
Although the customer service representative used a black cat head avatar, Shi Wan felt that they were truly like an AI.
She felt she must have seen correctly; for the first time ever, an English name had appeared in the message from customer service that morning.
It seems to be...Miao?
Meow?

Author's note: After careful elimination and thorough analysis, we finally identified the suspect as Meow Meow Mimi Farm's cow cat, Bean Sprout.
After the office staff patiently persuaded and educated him, the suspect confessed to the crime, claiming that he chewed on the data cable to pass the time.
The egregious nature of this behavior and its extremely serious consequences are very serious.
The office decided to impose the following penalties on the suspect, Miao:
1. Confiscated the cans from two days ago.
2. Taken to take a bath and have her nails trimmed
3. The little □□ of someone who had their nipples ripped off
We hope that all cats will learn from this incident and prevent such a serious accident from happening again.
