Chapter Index

    The system was completely dumbfounded, unable to believe what it had just heard.

    In reality, Rong Ziyan also felt it was surreal, even leaning closer to carefully examine the images on his phone.

    Yes, he hadn’t seen wrong, it was exactly as he had said.

    Normally, animals rarely choose humans as mating partners, even during mating season.

    After all, their organs function differently, and it doesn’t meet the animal’s needs. So how did one boar and four humans end up together?

    The wildlife park was extremely anxious, repeatedly asking Rong Ziyan, “Dr. Rong, do you have any good ideas?”

    He was also helpless. His direct supervisor was unreachable, and this wild boar might be a new species. Killing it was out of the question, but if it caused a human casualty, he couldn’t bear the responsibility either.

    Seeing that the boar was about to attack Rong Ziyan’s four roommates, the person in charge was even more panicked.

    “Don’t worry, let me think.” Rong Ziyan couldn’t think of any good solutions for the time being. This boar was already in heat and beyond human control. The incident with the boar from the big breeder’s family in the village was proof enough. Not to mention this boar was wild and untrained. It was a miracle that these four useless fellows weren’t injured yet.

    So what could completely control or scare it?

    Rong Ziyan pondered for a while when a sudden idea struck him. He suggested to the person in charge, “Why don’t you bring the sow that was originally with it!”

    “Don’t bring the prettiest concubine, bring the Empress.”

    “Empress? These wild boars have names? So, which one is the Empress?” [Puzzlement Value 300] The person in charge was completely dumbfounded.

    Rong Ziyan recalled the group of wild boars, “It’s the black and white one, the one that looks particularly dignified.”

    “Okay, okay, we’ll try it. Dr. Rong, please don’t hang up.” The person in charge hurriedly did as he was told.

    It was a desperate attempt, and if there really wasn’t a solution, the person in charge of the wildlife park wouldn’t have put their hopes on such a young vet like Rong Ziyan. But he really had no other way, so he had to give it a try!

    It was quite amazing. As soon as they brought the sow Rong Ziyan mentioned near the trap, she didn’t even start calling out, and the boar in the pit suddenly stopped moving.

    It didn’t immediately attack Rong Ziyan’s four roommates but instead cautiously sniffed the air. Then, the boar shuddered, suddenly moving away from Rong Ziyan’s roommates and turning its head towards the pit’s edge.

    The moment it locked eyes with the black and white sow, the nearby staff members could even sense that it was trembling slightly.

    Then, the sow lowered her head, looked at Rong Ziyan’s four roommates in the pit, and let out a call.

    The boar immediately responded. If Rong Ziyan were there, he would have been able to understand the boar’s thought bubble: “Empress, I’m innocent! These shameless commoners drugged me and confused my mind. They should all be dragged out and executed.”

    As for the sow’s thought bubble: “Ptooey!”

    Regardless, this boar finally calmed down. Seeing that it was working, the wildlife park’s manager quickly lowered the rope and pulled Rong Ziyan’s four roommates out.

    As for the boar, after it was brought up, they put it back together with the sow. They were put into a separate cage for further observation.

    However, as soon as they were settled, the sow went to the boar and gave him a severe beating. The boar didn’t retaliate, just nuzzled the sow and whimpered, completely losing his earlier dominance.

    They must really be a couple!

    The person in charge of the zoo was also dumbfounded by what he was seeing. After getting Rong Ziyan’s four terrified roommates settled, he couldn’t help but ask Rong Ziyan, “Dr. Rong, have you seen them interact like this before?”

    Rong Ziyan said, “No, I was just guessing. Wild boar groups usually have one boar and several sows. Since it’s in heat but not accepting other sows, it must be missing its partner.”

    “Then how did you know that it was this particular Empress?”

    Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but laugh, “Aren’t Sichuan men usually afraid of their wives? Side wives are useless, you have to go for the legal wife.”

    The person in charge: “…”

    What did that have to do with Sichuan men?

    [Bewilderment Value 1000]

    The person in charge was stunned.

    Afterwards, Rong Ziyan gave him some more instructions before hanging up the phone and going back to sleep. This was also why Rong Ziyan didn’t immediately receive the huge amount of collapse value provided by his four roommates.

    Actually, the experience that night was unexpected for these four useless roommates.

    What they didn’t expect even more was that the one who saved them in the end was Rong Ziyan, the one they least wanted to see. This made them feel even more miserable.

    But reality didn’t give them a chance to avoid it. The next morning, the person in charge of the wildlife park sent them directly back to school.

    There was no way around it. After such a big mistake, even if they were rich second generations, they couldn’t make it disappear quietly. They would have to bear the school’s punishment themselves.

    But losing the internship and paying some money was a small matter. The most terrifying thing was that it could potentially affect their ability to get their graduation certificates.

    They had studied for four years at the university, and not getting their degree at the very last step would be the biggest disaster.

    In the taxi, the four of them started to blame each other.

    “I said before not to get involved in these things. One’s rich and the other’s talented, when they fight we’re just cannon fodder.”

    “Hindsight is always 20/20, if you objected why didn’t you speak up earlier?”

    “I did speak up, but did you guys listen? We became a group with Rong Ziyan in the first year. If I wasn’t on the same side as you, would I have made it this far?”

    “Let’s not pretend anyone is innocent! You were all pretty enthusiastic when the young master offered benefits, weren’t you?”

    They started fighting each other in the car without agreeing on anything.

    Early the next morning, Rong Ziyan heard the system notification that the four useless idiots in the dorm were continuously providing him with emotional value. They had gained two to three thousand in just one night. They were still providing tens and hundreds from time to time, clearly showing that these four were emotionally unstable.

    Rong Ziyan frowned.

    The system was very puzzled, “Host, you don’t seem very happy?”

    Rong Ziyan said, “Well, because I’m also from the Agricultural University.”

    Judging from the emotional value provided by these four, this incident was probably a big deal, and it was likely to affect innocent bystanders.

    The previous plagiarism scandal from the Veterinary Medicine Department of the Agricultural University was already a big issue. Now this was happening, making it seem like the students of this year’s class were unreliable. It might even affect the other students’ job prospects.

    Sure enough, the class group chat was soon filled with gloom.

    As the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

    The fact that they were chased by a boar was news in and of itself. Nobody thought that a problem that was resolved so quickly would become a viral search topic on Weibo because it was too bizarre.

    It turned out that a zookeeper thought the scene was too funny, so he posted a video on Weibo.

    The part where Rong Ziyan gave his suggestion was also included.

    Because of the keywords “from Sichuan” and “afraid of their wives,” it quickly sparked a huge wave of discussion among netizens.

    Sichuan men: Our reputation is damaged.

    “Hahahaha, so do Sichuan pigs also fear their wives?”

    The internet was filled with laughter, and the video quickly went viral. Though it was only trending for a short while, it was enough to spread like wildfire.

    Rong Ziyan’s four roommates were trying to keep it a secret, but now it was exposed. The Agricultural University’s campus forum quickly began discussing it as well.

    “I saw it! I saw the Head of the Veterinary Department picking them up this morning. And apologizing profusely.”

    “It wasn’t just the Head of the Veterinary Department, even the president of the school went too!”

    “This really made us famous at the university. My classmate from high school just sent me a text asking if it was true.”

    “These idiots!”

    In Rong Ziyan’s class group chat, everyone felt like they had lost all face. They were just short of tagging the idiot to curse him out.

    “My mom asked me this morning if those four idiots were really from our class.”

    “Don’t even mention it. When I said I was from the Agricultural University at the interview, they just laughed!”

    “I’m speechless. What was the wildlife park thinking, asking these four useless fellows to separate the boars? Didn’t they study animal behavior?”

    “Isn’t it because they have connections? Maybe their young master made it sound like they were some kind of geniuses!”

    The class group was filled with curses, and the four didn’t dare to look at it anymore. So they simply muted the group chat.

    But muting the chat couldn’t restore their lost reputation. The Veterinary Department of the Agricultural University still had to bear the burden of what the four did.

    Fortunately, an animal behaviorist shared the video and analyzed Rong Ziyan’s comments. In short, the sow was attractive to the boar, so it diverted the boar’s attention, causing it to give up on the four humans. The expert also praised Rong Ziyan for having a very solid foundation.

    “We study at the same school, but there are differences in skills. I heard the one who saved them was also from the Agricultural University. It seems the quality of the students this year is not bad!”

    When an industry expert spoke up, the public opinion immediately changed. Especially with the cooperation of informed sources, who revealed that Rong Ziyan was a true scholar, and his outstanding grades were indeed impressive, the school finally saved some face.

    After all, although it was the Agricultural University that lost face, it was also one of their own who had saved them. You couldn’t offset one with the other, but at least it showed that not everyone was the same.

    In the class group chat, the students who had been following this matter finally breathed a sigh of relief. They all tagged Rong Ziyan and sighed, “Thank goodness we have a scholar! Otherwise, we would have been done for.”

    Rong Ziyan sent a “head pat” emoji.

    At this moment, someone curiously asked, “Scholar, how did you catch the boars? They looked so fierce in the video.”

    Rong Ziyan thought for a while and replied, “I had eight loud-mouthed guys sing ‘Ride on My Beloved Motorcycle’ to them.”

    Class Group Chat: “…”

    Rong Ziyan said, “Later, they thought the motorcycle was not enough, so they started singing ‘One Man’s Drunkenness.’ It didn’t even take three minutes, and the boars were caught.”

    Class Group Chat: “…”

    So, what kind of magical codes were “Motorcycle” and “Drunkenness”?

    It felt like some strange knowledge had just been unlocked again.

    The system expressed deep sympathy for them, “It’s lucky they don’t know that you sent a turtle to the wildlife park later.”

    Rong Ziyan said righteously, “Don’t talk nonsense, the Turtle is thousands of years old, remember to add ‘Old’ next time to show respect.”

    [Resistance Value from the Eight Trigrams Golden Turtle 2000]

    Turtle: Please, just don’t think of me in this lifetime!

    The surface public opinion finally calmed down, but the aftermath still needed to be handled one by one.

    These four fellows haven’t been having a good time lately. They were being severely criticized online, and they haven’t received the school’s disciplinary action. They had been hiding in their dorm for days and hadn’t dared to go out. Even when they ate, they hurried to buy food and ate in their dorm.

    They were already losing their appetite, but for some reason lately, the veterinary department had inexplicably started a trend of eating late night snacks.

    Around the time the lights were about to be turned off, the smell of hot pots and instant noodles filled the hallway.

    “Wasn’t it this bad before!”

    “What exactly happened recently?”

    The four were too curious and couldn’t help but open the class group chat to investigate. They discovered the reason seemed to be salted duck eggs.

    Everyone bought Rong Ziyan’s salted duck eggs, which were especially good with rice. So, everyone was compelled to have late night snacks for the sake of the salted egg yolk.

    So could they never escape Rong Ziyan? Everywhere they went, they could hear his name.

    The four felt very miserable.

    What was even worse, was when they went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast.

    They didn’t know who had made something, but as soon as they entered the cafeteria, they were hit by a fishy smell that almost drove them out.

    After asking, they discovered that the fishy smell came from the salted fish sold by Rong Ziyan.

    Damn it, isn’t he a scholar? Why does he also sell salted duck eggs and salted fish? Is he out of his mind!

    The four left the cafeteria in a huff. They felt like the whole world was about Rong Ziyan.

    But even when they returned to the dorm, they still couldn’t escape their fate. As soon as they entered the hallway, the familiar fishy smell reappeared.

    Their class monitor from the next dorm poked his head out, “Brothers! The scholar’s dream salted fish is on sale, want to join us? I heard it’s great with late-night snacks!”

    “Yes! Yes!” People from several dorms nearby poked their heads out to respond. The scene became very lively.

    The four of them froze in the hallway, feeling very awkward.

    The monitor made eye contact with them for a while and thought that the class activities should encourage everyone to participate, so he held up the opened salted fish in his hand and asked them, “Do you guys want some?”

    A pair of dead fish eyes were staring at them, as if saying, “Ptooey, you useless students.”

    “…No,” The four of them silently went back to their dorm and slammed the door shut.

    [Anger Value 4000]

    At the animal husbandry station, Rong Ziyan, who was putting down the book he was reading, was a little surprised. These four roommates were surprisingly excellent sheep at providing emotional value. In just one week, they had given him enough for a ten-draw lottery.

    Just when Rong Ziyan was hesitating whether to draw or not, the class group chat suddenly flashed a string of furious tags. They said they had just returned from the office, and that there was a major event at school! It was said that a certain variety show station, in response to the country’s call, had decided to launch a positive energy program that truly showcased the demeanor of a scholar.

    Because Rong Ziyan’s analysis of the boar’s behavior went viral, the production team noticed him and specifically wanted to invite Rong Ziyan to participate in the program.

    This was a good opportunity to become famous! It was also the best chance to restore his reputation. The school immediately agreed and said that as long as Rong Ziyan was willing, that would be enough.

    Rong Ziyan soon received a notification from the department. The call was from the department head, who also said that if there were any difficulties, he could bring them up with the school, and the school would help resolve them.

    Rong Ziyan thought for a moment and said, “My geese are about to lay eggs, could the school help take care of them?”

    Department head: ???

    Rong Ziyan said, “Not many, just a dozen or so!”
