Chapter 266: Throwing Money
The golden eagle's sharp eyes instantly locked onto the uninvited guest.
Su Zhining held her breath, and just when she thought she had won—
A golden lightning bolt struck down from the sky!
“Crack!”
The mechanical lemming disintegrated instantly under the eagle's claws, and the delicate gears and circuit boards splattered everywhere.
The golden eagle picked up the still twitching mechanical wreckage, tilted its head to look at it for a moment, suddenly shook its head in disgust, and threw this piece of "high-tech garbage" off the cliff.
The comments were all confused by this sudden turn of events.
[Hilarious! Thousands of dollars lost in a second]
[Golden Eagle: That's it? Worse than a real mouse.]
[Miss Su, why is your toy disposable? It's truly a luxury item.]
Imported toys are still not as good as domestic ones.
"How, how is it possible?!"
Su Zhining stood up suddenly, and her expensive sunglasses slid to the tip of her nose. "Why are they so fragile?"
Her words stopped abruptly.
The golden eagle was looking down at her from above, its sharp eyes full of mockery.
What's even more outrageous is that it actually combed its feathers slowly and leisurely, as if it had just swatted a annoying mosquito to death.
The cold wind blew the parts of the mechanical lemming down from the cliff, making a tinkling sound, as if mocking Su Zhining's naivety.
The photographer's camera was shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, and he just happened to capture the golden eagle's final look full of royal contempt - with such little ability, is he worthy of seducing this eagle?
Su Zhining squatted in the snow in frustration, frantically rummaging through her luxury backpack.
"No canned meat, no mechanical mouse—what on earth does this rotten bird want?!"
She angrily pulled out a bunch of cosmetics and energy bars, and finally took out a stack of brand new US dollars from the compartment - she had put them in there when she went rock climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park last time and forgot to take them out.
"Hey, why is there some pocket money in the bag?"
Su Zhining casually waved the banknotes in front of the camera, "It's only a few thousand dollars left from my last trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in Country U."
Barrage: ???
[This is called pocket money? Is this the Versailles of the rich?]
[What is the operation of rock climbing cash? 】
[The young lady is indeed a young lady. She can easily find thousands of dollars in her bag.]
Su Zhining was showing off her pocket money in an attempt to save face, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a gust of wind whistled past -
“Crash!”
A few of the banknotes in Su Zhining's hand were not held tightly and were instantly blown into the sky, dancing like gold foil in the sunlight.
“Hey, my money!!”
Su Zhining subconsciously reached out to grab it, then immediately retracted it, shaking her hair in a pretentious manner, "Forget it, it's just a few bills."
But the next second——
“Whoosh!”
A black afterimage shot up into the sky!
The golden eagle drew a lightning-like trajectory in the air at an astonishing speed, and its sharp claws accurately clamped every flying US dollar.
$20, $50, $100... It can even adjust its posture in the air and use its beak to catch the bills that are about to fly away.
Netizens were stunned when they saw the golden eagle picking up money crazily.
[Golden Eagle: My money really came from the wind! ]
[Case solved! The "gold" in the golden eagle actually refers to the "gold" in the US dollar.]
[This golden eagle didn't drink Meng Po soup, and still has some lingering consciousness from its previous life as a human, actually snatching US dollars!]
Su Zhining stared at the scene in amazement. She had never seen such a greedy animal!
Suddenly, an inspiration struck her.
Su Zhining gritted her teeth, pulled out another wad of bills from her bag, and threw them like flowers as she walked towards the gathering place: "Come on! Follow me and you'll get some money!"
Sure enough, the golden eagle chased after them happily. Every time Su Zhining threw a piece of paper into the air, it would catch it accurately and fly to the gathering place with Su Zhining little by little.
But whenever Su Zhining deliberately threw money in front of it——
“Pah.”
The banknotes fell on the snow, but the golden eagle turned its head away proudly, flapped its wings and flew back into the air.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy.
[You have to catch coins in the air to look noble, right? 】
[This golden eagle has even more idol baggage than Lu Jinyu and Jia Yao.]
[A new career path for modern raptors: aerial cashiers.]
[Golden Eagle: I have to earn this money standing up today!]
When the man and the eagle finally arrived at the meeting point, Xu Ying was squatting on the ground feeding carrots to the Ili pika.
She looked up and saw a golden eagle slowly descending with a wad of US dollars in its claws. She was so startled that she dropped her carrot. "Brother Eagle, where have you made your fortune recently? Can you take me with you?"
When she was a child, she didn’t believe it when her elders told her that chicken feet could bring wealth, but now she really believes it.
Su Zhining walked over with a dark face: "It's fleecing me!"
The golden eagle proudly shook its feathers, stacked the banknotes neatly at Xu Ying's feet, and then looked at the camera with its head held high.
[This eagle only makes clean money and refuses charity]
Xu Ying watched the replay of Su Zhining's live broadcast on the program team's tablet and laughed until her stomach hurt.
The golden eagle is indeed a hidden talent. He made a fortune quietly and earned his pension.
On the snow, a golden eagle was proudly counting the "income from labor" and using its mouth to neatly stack the dollar bills on the ground.
At this moment, a yellowish-brown shadow quietly moved along the snow surface.
The Tibetan fox squinted its triangular eyes, tucked its claws into its chest, and laid its belly almost on the ground, looking just like a safe-stealing thief in a movie.
The tip of its tail trembles slightly, and it freezes for three seconds every time it moves half a meter. Its acting skills are better than those of some popular stars.
[Director Fox has transformed into an agent? ]
[I'm too familiar with this obscene pace.]
[Golden Eagle: Do you think I'm blind?]
Finally, the Tibetan fox's claws touched the green banknote at the edge——
“Bang!”
The golden wings whistled through the air and hit the fox's claws accurately.
The Tibetan fox jumped three feet high with a "wow", and the banknotes flew around like frightened butterflies.
The golden eagle slowly rearranged the banknotes and pecked at the place where the Tibetan fox had just touched with its beak, as if disinfecting it.
The program's photographer also gave Director Fox a close-up shot.
The Tibetan fox squatted three meters away, its fur standing like dandelions, its front paws hanging in the air, not daring to touch the ground, its face full of expression:
[It’s just a touch! You stingy guy!]
Xu Ying was so stifled in laughter that he felt internal injuries. "Director Hu, are you trying to appropriate the fruits of someone else's labor?"
The Tibetan fox blew his beard: [Unsuccessful.]
Xu Ying held back her laughter. She first took out a special eye mask and covered the golden eagle's eyes, and then introduced the golden eagle to netizens.
"The golden eagle is a large bird of prey. It gets its name from the circle of golden feathers on the back of its neck that looks like a cloak."
"It's incredibly fast, capable of diving at 300 kilometers per hour, which is faster than a high-speed train."
"Their wingspan is two metres wide, yet they weigh only five kilograms, which is lighter than some small cats."
While tying the eye patch on the golden eagle, Xu Ying asked netizens in front of the camera: "Do you know why I put the eye patch on the golden eagle?"
