What bear? I'm the Thunder Giant Bear!

Chapter 19 is heartbreaking.

"Thank goodness I didn't choose to keep a brown bear, otherwise bathing a bear would be a real hassle."

"Yeah! Just looking at them is tiring, and with such a big size, it would be even worse if they got hurt."

Upon seeing this, the busy zookeepers couldn't help but feel fortunate.

They were initially quite envious of Sister Hong'er for making Xiong Da so obedient, but after seeing her take a bath, they changed their minds.

I don't really envy them that much anymore.

"How do you bathe the animals you keep? Don't you brush them?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Hong'er, who was sweeping the water, couldn't help but look at them.

Hearing them say that, it seemed like they didn't need to bathe their pets, even though she remembered that these guys kept animals that weren't small either.

Can it be cleaned by rinsing alone?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shook their heads vigorously, like rattles.

"Of course not! Just rinse it with water."

"Yeah! I'm raising a tiger, you can't expect me to brush it like this."

"Even if he's willing, I wouldn't dare to do it."

"That's right! My pet leopard is even more of a lunatic; I'm always afraid it'll suddenly attack me."

They admitted that they were already very good at feeding animals, but after seeing the other person today, they felt that they were still lacking.

They are willing to call each other the most powerful.

"Can you really get it clean like this?" Sister Hong asked doubtfully.

These guys are zookeepers, after all, and they've raised these animals from kittens to adulthood, yet they're too cowardly to even give them a bath.

Of course, it's also possible that it's simply because of laziness.

She had been brushing Xiong Da's hair since she was little, and once he got used to it, he wouldn't resist as much.

Hearing this, the crowd became even more guilty, and they even avoided eye contact.

"Uh! Almost. If it's not clean enough, just rinse it twice more."

"Right! Anyway, they didn't go anywhere, so there's no need to spam like this."

"That's right! That's right!"

Actually, animals don't roam around much; their activity range is quite limited.

There is no need to give them a special bath.

"All right--"

Hearing this, Sister Hong'er was speechless.

So everyone's just slacking off at work, trying to save money wherever possible.

She's the only one who takes this seriously.

"Hmm~ (I've already dried my fur, sis.)"

"Hmm~ (If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep now.)"

Cheng Hao, upon returning, had no idea what had happened.

After saying that, he prepared to crawl into his bed and go to sleep.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard the other person's voice.

"Big Bear!"

Sister Hong'er looked at Cheng Hao and spoke.

Cheng Hao, who had just stepped through the door, stopped in his tracks.

He's already done what his sister said, so why is the other person still calling him? He's just a bear.

"Stay outside and let your fur dry before you go in, okay? Look at you lying on the wooden planks all wet. Mushrooms are going to grow on them."

Just as Cheng Hao was pondering this, Sister Hong'er spoke up.

This made Cheng Hao breathe a huge sigh of relief. He thought he was going to have to work again, but it turned out that his sister was worried about this.

He's not stupid; how could he not have thought of that?

"You greedy little thing, if you eat all those mushrooms, you'll get poisoned!"

As Hong'er continued speaking, she used a broom to block Cheng Hao's path and shoo him back.

When Cheng Hao saw this, he was speechless.

He seems like a genius? He dares to eat mushrooms without even knowing what kind they are.

"Alright! You're staying in this area now and you're not allowed to leave."

"Be a good boy and dry yourself off in the sun, I'm going to check on you later."

After driving Cheng Hao to a suitable area, Sister Hong'er put her hands on her hips and said.

"Hmph~ (Okay, okay. Why do you have so many things to do, sis? Aren't you tired?)" Cheng Hao muttered upon hearing this.

He didn't know how the other animals lived, but he was sure that no other zookeeper was as dedicated as his sister.

He has seen quite a few people slacking off since just now.

"Sister Hong'er! You're amazing! If you point east, Xiong Da won't dare go west; if you say south, he won't dare go north."

"Yeah! The key is that he's so obedient. How did you do that? Teach us!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

The zookeepers, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but speak up.

Despite being such a large boy, Xiong Da was being scolded by Sister Hong'er like a child. The key point was that Xiong Da didn't dare disobey her.

This made them a little envious; they were all zookeepers, so why weren't the creatures they kept like this?

"Does this thing even need to be taught?" Sister Hong'er said irritably upon hearing this.

"Animals are made of flesh and blood too. How we treat them is how they will treat us."

"Similarly, if we try to fool them, they will try to fool us."

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of people.

Immediately, many zookeepers scattered.

He dared not look directly into Hong'er's eyes.

Of course, there are also those who dare to look directly at them, but most are just envious; they haven't been slacking off either.

But the animals I raise are never as obedient as the ones my partner raises.

"But I didn't try to fool the animals, so why are they still not very willing to talk to me, and why are they so unpredictable?"

At this moment, Xu Lili asked, puzzled.

She loves animals, so she took her job at the zoo very seriously, and as Sister Hong'er said, she basically did everything she was told.

But the animals she raises can't do what Sister Hong'er does at all.

"You? That's normal. Raccoons are a bit neurotic and not very bright. It doesn't matter who raises them."

"That's right! Porcupines are like they don't have brains, you don't need to worry about them."

Before Sister Hong'er could speak, the other zookeepers spoke up.

Although they enjoy slacking off, they are quite knowledgeable about the personalities and characteristics of many animals.

The animals the other party was responsible for were basically a bunch of ungrateful and unruly creatures.

"Ah! Is it too late for me to apply for a different animal to keep?" Xu Lili's eyes widened upon hearing this.

She had doubted whether it was her skills that were lacking, or whether she hadn't spent enough time with the animals, but she never expected the truth to be like this.

"That probably won't work, unless we bring in new animals to the zoo."

"That's good! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to change the animals we raise."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

Given the current situation at the zoo, it's a miracle they can avoid layoffs; how could they possibly have the money to bring in new animals?

"All right--"

Hearing this, Xu Lili couldn't help but sigh.

It seems she's getting a different batch of animals; keeping them is out of the question.

I hope that one day my pets will become intelligent and like Xiong Da (a popular cartoon character).

"Lily, you don't need to worry too much. You've only been raising them for a short time. Maybe you'll be able to manage it after some time."

"As for things like bad personality or being untamable, there are always exceptions, so don't worry about it too much," Sister Hong'er advised with a smile.
