Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

Looking at its size and fur color, you can clearly tell this is a strong adult Eurasian lynx.

Mike has seen many lynxes, but this is the first one he's seen with such expressive eyes.

"When did it arrive?" Mike asked, fascinated by this strikingly wild big cat.

"I don't know, I hadn't seen it before. Just when you were about to take a running start, I looked up and saw it," Chen Ying said, taking a small step back and quickly pulled out his phone to take a picture with Mike as a reference, then snapped seven or eight more in succession.

Prompted by his actions, Mike also whipped out his phone, taking several photos and a video.

Mike even tried to mimic those trendy photo poses, taking a perspective shot that made it look like he was petting the cat.

Chen Ying wasn't keen on taking pictures, but Mike dragged him into it, insisting that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Actually, he wanted to say that not only could he pet the cat whenever he wanted, he could even sleep in the same bed as the big cat! Not wanting to crush Mike, Chen Ying stifled his pride and snapped two casual photos.

But he hadn't even finished taking pictures when he saw Mike's horrified expression, urging him to run.

Instinctively, he dodged, only to find a furry creature standing where he had just been.

"Run!" Mike retreated a few steps, realizing Chen Ying hadn't budged at all.

Not only did he not move, he even crouched down to scratch the lynx's chin.

Mike felt his jaw nearly drop, his throat gurgling as he failed to form a coherent syllable.

"Did you come to find me? What's up?"

The lynx let out a low "lur-lur" sound and then pushed away Chen Ying's hand.

"I've heard about you." This statement, truly unexpected, left the lynx unceasing, "My northern brothers told me that you can help me find a wife, right?"

Chen Ying was rendered speechless, "Don't tell me you actually can't find a wife?"

The lynx appeared strong on the outside, soft on the inside.

"Who told you I can't find a wife?" The lynx let out an angry roar, but in reality, it was just a short "aww," more strong in presence than in power.

"Do you think I'm a weakling who can't find a wife? I just have high standards, that's all."

The lynx's short sounds revealed its embarrassment and anger to Chen Ying.

Honestly, this lynx is in its prime, both physically and age-wise, so being unable to find a wife was really just Chen Ying teasing. But now it seems like he may have struck a nerve?

After some more talking, Chen Ying finally understood why this lynx is still single and needs human help to find a mate.

A beauty-seeker, no, beauty-cat!

He thought Mendun'er was already picky enough, but compared to this lynx brother, Mendun'er was just a little sister!

Unattractive fur is a no, unappealing physique is a no, poor hunting ability is a no, and if it doesn't strike the eye, that's also a no.

Chen Ying chuckled, serves you right for an eternal single life. With such rigorous standards, even if we custom-design a mate for you, it might not match your desires.

The large lynx glanced at the man itching to come up and touch it, lifted its paw and patted Chen Ying's leg.

"Come, stay away from that two-legged beast, he's an eyesore."

Chen Ying glanced at Mike with a peculiar look, then at the lynx, wanting to tease but not sure how to start.

Mike wasn't actually ugly, though he had a bit more hair, but European men seem to have this issue. Yet Mike was quite adept at grooming himself, lest we forget, the words 'stylish man' absolutely fit him.

Chen Ying figured this lynx's aesthetic sense might be beyond ordinary imagination.

Perhaps the lynx's expression was too sleazy, even Mike gleaned something, squinting at it and then at Chen Ying, tilting his head slightly.

Chen Ying shook his head gently at him, then followed the lynx to another side, squatting down to gaze into its eyes.

Mike's current feelings were indescribable.

Over the past few years, Chen Ying legends circulated in their circle, mostly treated as jokes, with some saying Chen Ying crafted that persona himself to try forcibly integrate into their group.

Those who said this were certainly capable enough, but might be influenced by a sour grapes mentality.

Mike disdained those gossiping behind others' backs, as anyone's academic ability is evident through papers and experiments, unless he could bribe others or his supervisor to stage performances for him.

If it were a local, they might have some connections, but for a foreigner, to get the entire research institute to back his show, who do you think he is, a prince from some kingdom?

If he has real skills, it's alright, even if he's creating a persona for himself, never mind that someone at an ocean research institute claimed to be a descendant of Sea Emperor Poseidon? In this society, you need a hint of madness to stand out.

Prior to this, Mike's mental activity was thus.

But now, he thought perhaps this "Druid" persona wasn't self-imposed by Chen Ying. The lynx over there making noises seemed to be conversing with Chen Ying while keeping a special eye on Mike!

"You mean you've your eye on a lynx, but that creature keeps avoiding you?"

Chen Ying was intrigued, this critical lynx actually found one it liked but couldn't win over? Whoever it is, he definitely needs to send ten pounds of meat to console them.

That creature described over and over, the more Chen Ying listened, the more confused he got. Finally, he decided to wait till evening and follow this creature to see its beloved cat and speak further.

Now that they found this Eurasian lynx, Chen Ying and his group didn't plan to continue to the top because this lynx said the top is its territory. Below is the territory of two other lynxes, one of which is its desired mate.
