Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Great Vision, but Lacking Self-Awareness Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Great Vision, but Lacking Self-Awareness A group of people hurried nonstop to the black panther cage, where from afar they heard the zookeeper comforting the black panther with a crying tone.

Leopards are quite quiet big cats; they rarely make noise, even when they are self-harming, emitting only a low “mm-mm” sound.
The black panther’s keeper held it, preventing it from tossing and turning.
As soon as Chen Ying arrived, he heard the black panther muttering to itself, “Leave here, leave here…”
He decisively squeezed through the crowd, did not directly intervene, just observed the black panther’s condition, and had someone help change its location.
Indeed, after changing locations, the black panther’s breathing calmed down a bit, and it didn’t make any trouble anymore. The keeper held it, closed its eyes, stuck out a bit of its tongue, and tried to relax itself.
“May I ask if the cage it was in before is the one it has always been using?”
“No, it used to live in Leopard Garden, a large semi-open zoo built to simulate the wild environment of Flower Leopard. It’s just that they planned to have the black panther meet the leopard for mating, so they put them in the cages, planning to return them after the meeting.”
Chen Ying stroked the black panther’s head and stood up.
“May I go see the cage it was in just now?”
The zoo staff glanced at their leader and then led Chen Ying to it.
The cages were built to standard, not those that mistreat animals. Moreover, the neighboring leopard’s cage was even slightly smaller than the black panther’s, and there was no sign of the leopard reacting violently.
When Chen Ying arrived, the neighboring leopard was lazily yawning on a tree trunk.
Seeing Chen Ying looking at it from the next cage, the leopard curiously made eye contact and then opened its mouth to ask, “How’s that black dummy next door? Still obsessing over that jaguar?”
Chen Ying’s pupils constricted, and he instinctively moved closer to the wire mesh.
“What did you just say, there is a jaguar here?”
The leopard was startled, propped up its upper body, and looked at Chen Ying and the staff cleaning the black panther’s cage in amazement.
The staff’s scent was very familiar to it; that person and a few other two-legged beasts often came to clean up after it and feed it.
But this was the first time it smelled Chen Ying’s scent, and it was intoxicating!
The leopard jumped down from the tree, came to the wire mesh, grabbed it, and leaned close to take a deep breath of Chen Ying’s scent.
“Your scent smells really nice.” The leopard licked its lips, “You just asked me if there is a jaguar? Of course, there is, just arrived, not yet in the mating season though. But honestly, one of them is very beautiful, and I really like it.”
Struggling in vain to lick Chen Ying, the leopard discouragingly walked back and rolled under the tree stump.
“When will they let me go back? That black dummy doesn’t want to mate with me at all. Keeping me like this, when will it end?”
Chen Ying’s eyelids twitched, and he wisely did not speak again.
“Let’s go, I have a rough idea, but I still need to talk to its zookeeper. Also, may I go see their activity area in Leopard Garden?”
“Sure, wait for me a moment, I’ll drive the patrol vehicle over here.”
Leopard Garden is a semi-open area where they feed live chickens, rabbits, small pigs, and sheep using modified patrol vehicles.
There are also tourist sightseeing vehicles in the park, tailor-made with feeding windows, allowing visitors to experience the wild beauty of the animals up close.
Sitting in the patrol vehicle, the staff took Chen Ying into Leopard Garden.
The area is quite large, specifically simulating the outdoor environment of the Malay Peninsula.
Aside from the black panther, four leopards live here.
These are two Flower Leopards and two newly introduced jaguars.
All four leopards were females, which was done to reduce conflicts between them as much as possible.
After all, males could tolerate females living in their territory, and a low overlap in territories among females was not a problem, but if two powerful males lived in the same space, they would inevitably fight each other to death one day.
The environment here was quite good, the territory large enough for five leopards to live in Leopard Garden, each leopard having its own territory.
Furthermore, the territories of the Jaguar and the Flower Leopard were artificially separated.
Although the territory was not as large as in the wild, it was still much better than keeping tigers and leopards confined in cages for life.
The Flower Leopards were two sisters, and so were the Jaguars.
The territory of the Flower Leopards was to the east, and the Jaguars’ territory was to the west. The biggest tree in the middle was the throne of the Black Panther.
The Black Panther, perched on his throne, looked like a drowsy ruler possessing beauties from both the eastern and western palaces!
After a tour and observing the two new African Leopard beauties, Chen Ying thought he might know the reason behind the Black Panther’s illness.
Returning to the Black Panther’s new cage, the crowd that had been watching earlier had left, leaving only Chen Ying, his three companions, and the keeper responsible for the Black Panther.
Seeing Chen Ying return, team leader Dai Bo used his gaze to inquire if Chen had gathered any information.
Seeing Chen Ying nod, he finally relaxed.
During the time that Chen Ying had been away, they hadn’t wasted any time, conducting various checks on the Black Panther, ruling out any physical illnesses, leaving psychological issues as the remaining factor.
But there had to be a reason for the psychological issues causing self-harm, it couldn’t just be a sudden breakdown, right?
Chen Ying didn’t have time to say much to Dai Bo, he squatted down and stroked the Black Panther’s head, which was resting in the keeper’s arms, then asked the keeper.
“Black Panther didn’t have this issue before, right? It participated in cohabitative breeding last year. Although it was unsuccessful, I didn’t hear about any self-harm.”
“Yes, it didn’t happen last year, I don’t know what happened this year that caused this.”
The keeper’s eyes were full of bloodshot, his face haggard and his hair disheveled, clearly indicating that he had been extremely worried about Black Panther and hadn’t been able to rest properly.
Chen Ying rubbed the Black Panther’s ears, but the animal, annoyed, swatted Chen’s hand away and made a biting gesture.
“I just went to see your territory a moment ago, those two Jaguar sisters are quite beautiful.”
The Black Panther’s mouth, which had been open, slowly closed, eyes faintly opened a crack.
Seeing the Black Panther respond, Chen Ying sat down and started scratching its chin.
“Beautiful they are, but you should know that although you and they are both from the feline leopard family and theoretically can mate, in reality, your offspring would be sterile, meaning if they were born, they would be doomed to have no descendants.”
The keeper looked dumbfounded at Chen Ying, then at the three support personnel standing or sitting beside, with a row of question marks hanging over his head.
Dai Bo pushed his glasses up, revealing a standard smile, (* ̄︶ ̄), have you witnessed the prowess of our school’s Great Druid?
Chen Ying knew the Black Panther had understood his words, but Bao Bao only knew that Leopard girls were strong and pretty, without considering whether descendants could have descendants.
Moreover, it liked the Jaguar sisters, but that didn’t mean they would like it back!
Its physique doomed it to be an unrequited love!
(Jaguars, also known as Jaguars, are significantly larger than Asian Leopards)
“If you like strong and pretty girls, let me introduce you, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied and have excellent descendants inheriting your strong genes, better than having a solitary male descendant, right?”
The companion sitting behind couldn’t help but snort with laughter upon hearing Chen Ying’s words.
The school rumors were true; senior Chen Ying was skilled at matchmaking for animals. No wonder he had found a place to showcase his abilities so soon.
