95: Chapter 95 Mysterious Card!
An Ke was stuck between laughter and tears. "Tiger Mom, it's not your fault."
"I just forgot to explain things clearly to this little guy."
Only then did Tiger Mom nod in relief, then said, "I'm going to put the prey away."
There was a dedicated storage room for food in the kitchen.
An Ke nodded and thanked Tiger Mom for her hard work with a smile.
Massaging its ciliary muscles, he tried to wake the Little Hamster.
Soon, the fainted Hamster slowly came to.
As soon as it woke up, it shuddered all over and jolted upright.
Then, it scanned the surroundings in a panic, looking like it was ready to flee at any moment.
Seeing that the Hamster was about to bolt, An Ke quickly reached out and grabbed the little guy's tail.
He then explained, "Don't be afraid. Tiger Mom is also a member of the Camp; she won't hurt you."
The Hamster's movements stopped, and it turned its head with a look of disbelief.
It looked at An Ke, then at Tiger Mom who was storing the prey, its heart shaking with shock.
"That terrifying tiger is also part of the Camp!?"
"How is that possible?"
Tigers were incredibly ferocious; how could they live under the same roof?
How did the human in front of it manage this?
Looking at the Hamster's expression of questioning its own existence, An Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"The facts are right before your eyes, aren't they?"
"If Tiger Mom wanted to treat me as food, I would have been a corpse long ago."
At this time, Tiger Mom walked over after finishing with the prey and said casually upon hearing him:
"I'm not even sure I could eat you."
"If we were truly enemies, I would choose to mind my own business and stay out of your way."
The scene of her confrontation with An Ke, Leopard Mom, and Little Scar was still vivid in her mind.
If she wanted to attack An Ke, she would inevitably pay a considerable price.
There was even the possibility of death.
Therefore, Tiger Mom never dared to underestimate An Ke, and if it weren't for her cubs back then, she probably would have had to abandon the nearby territory.
The Hamster was shocked once again.
It never expected that such a behemoth would actually say it couldn't defeat the human, An Ke?
Just how terrifying was An Ke??
The Hamster couldn't understand how An Ke had recruited these two terrifying big cats and made them willingly serve him.
An Ke didn't explain much, instead letting King Kong put the nuts into the food storage room.
Since the Hamster was kind enough to bring nuts, he naturally wasn't going to be overly polite.
When he had a craving, he could use the nuts to satisfy it.
King Kong was very willing to transport the nuts, after all, he could occasionally sneak a few.
For a Parrot, nuts were also a type of food.
If the sea fish weren't so delicious, he would basically eat nuts.
And just as King Kong was transporting them, the Monkey troop that had left returned once more.
Originally, they had planned to come back to the Camp tomorrow when the rain stopped.
But when they felt the rain letting up, Little Scar and the other monkeys couldn't hold back and finally chose to return to the Camp.
They now felt that only by coming to the Camp could they make every day feel fulfilling.
In the rain, Little Scar and the others braved the downpour to return; the moment they stepped into the Camp, they immediately felt at ease.
An Ke was also surprised by the arrival of Little Scar and the others.
He quickly had the monkeys shake off the rainwater to avoid catching a cold.
On the side, the Hamster, who was already trembling with fear, was stunned once again upon seeing Little Scar and so many monkeys.
As omnivores, monkeys were also natural enemies of Hamsters.
As long as they saw a Hamster, they would eat it without hesitation.
Seeing the Hamster hide, An Ke explained to it once more:
"Don't be afraid, little guy. This group of monkeys are also my people; they won't hurt you."
The Hamster was completely overwhelmed; it couldn't understand why one human could subdue so many fierce animals.
In the natural world, monkeys were likewise not simple creatures.
With their clever minds and agile movements, they could toy with any animal at will.
Including tigers and Wild Leopards.
Yet they were respectful in front of An Ke, calling him 'Great King' with every breath.
The Hamster felt it needed time to digest the current situation.
It felt like the world had suddenly become strange, becoming something it no longer recognized.
It simply stuck its butt out, dove into its burrow, and left the Camp.
An Ke didn't stop it.
For small animals, he generally let them come and go as they pleased.
As long as it didn't endanger its life.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was watching with amusement.
"Did you guys see that Little Hamster's expression just now?"
"It's probably doubting its 'Hamster-hood' now."
"Laughing my head off. It probably hasn't seen so many natural enemies gathered together in its entire life."
"Hahaha! If it had seen them, would we still be able to see it now?"
"Speaking of which, will this Little Hamster be too scared to come back?"
"Please don't stop coming back! It's just too cute. Seeing it once a day makes my mood better."
"Yeah! I really like this Little Hamster."
"With it around, it'll definitely contribute many funny memes."
“...”
The people watching the live broadcast weren't idle.
Whenever there was an interesting scene, they would turn it into a meme.
Even An Ke wasn't spared, contributing quite a few memes.
Among them, the one who contributed the most was King Kong.
His trash talk, combined with his occasional abstract antics, made him a meme superstar.
If the Hamster joined in, it could probably rival King Kong.
In the broadcast, An Ke naturally didn't know what the people outside were thinking.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't mind everyone using his expressions for memes.
Although An Ke was the type to seek revenge for even the smallest grievance, his tolerance for certain things was quite high.
As long as one didn't offend him or cross his red lines, he wasn't someone who couldn't take a joke.
In the Camp, An Ke began to think about the progress of exploring the island.
To be honest, if he explored outward from the Camp as a center like this...
It would be very, very difficult to reach 100% exploration progress.
Without shelter and supplies, efficiency was extremely low.
After all, once An Ke went out ten or so kilometers, he would have to stay away from the Camp for several days.
He couldn't just build a Camp every place he went, could he?
Without personnel to guard them, building too many Camps would simply be providing supplies for other foreign contestants.
Benefiting others for nothing.
An Ke didn't want to be such a sucker.
As for letting animals help guard them?
When the bond between them hadn't reached a high enough level...
As long as An Ke was gone for too long, the influence of [Natural Affinity] on the animals would decrease until it finally disappeared.
They would then no longer obey An Ke's orders.
"I must find an effective way..."
If it really came down to it, he would have to consider living like a nomad.
Moving around for the sake of exploration.
But this also came with risks, and with 'children' in the Camp, such a decision might very well cause Tiger Mom to leave the team.
That wasn't something An Ke wanted to see.
Just then, the Hamster's chubby figure appeared again.
In the live broadcast room, many viewers of the Hamster were overjoyed.
They could see the cute little guy again.
But soon, sharp-eyed people noticed that the Hamster was still holding something in its paws.
That thing looked like a small rectangular card...
