What bear? I'm the Thunder Giant Bear!

Chapter 1 Reborn as a Bear Called Big Bear

"Mom! Why is there only Big Bear and no Little Bear at the zoo?"

In front of the bear enclosure at Hongrushan Zoo, a little boy wearing a rubber duck hat looked at the large brown bear lying in the outer enclosure and asked the woman next to him a question.

The woman who was taking a selfie nearby turned around after hearing this:

"It's probably because Xiong Er is still on his way."

"How about we go see the sika deer first? Maybe Xiong Er will be here soon."

"Okay... okay, Mom." The little boy thought for a moment and then agreed.

Then, he was led away from the bear enclosure by the woman.

After they left, the large brown bear in the enclosure turned over and yawned as it watched the two figures leave.

He's not just Bear Big and Bear Two, he's also Salted Egg Superman.

It's one thing for them not to bring frozen chicken when they come to his place, but they can't even spare a few steamed buns.

That means he's the only bear in the bear enclosure; otherwise, if another bear came, they'd probably all starve to death here.

"Big Bear, stop sleeping in! Get up and get to work!"

"You're the only place in the entire zoo with hardly any visitors. If this continues, the zoo director will have to send you to another zoo."

Just then, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the bear enclosure.

He immediately got up impatiently and pretended to walk a few steps.

The figure outside the bear enclosure left satisfied after seeing this.

Cheng Hao, who had been pacing back and forth, listened to the receding footsteps and then lay back down to continue his life of lying flat.

He's already become a bear; there's no way he can try anymore.

The zoo has plenty of food and drink, and you don't have to worry about making a living. You couldn't be happier.

Yes, he was reborn.

In his previous life, he was a human, but in this life he was reborn as a large brown bear.

Fortunately, I don't have to go to school or work.

Eat your fill, then sleep; sleep your fill, then eat again.

The only downside is that the living environment isn't very good.

However, he didn't mind. He was already grateful that the living environment provided shelter from the wind and rain and that he could sleep on solid wooden planks.

After all, a person's life is much more difficult than this.

He's already doing well with this kind of life; a bear should learn to be content with what he has.

Thinking about this, he felt a little sleepy, and before he knew it, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

I don't know how much time had passed. Then I heard a voice again.

"Big Bear's out! Wake up! Don't you want to eat?"

"You lazy bear, all you do is eat and sleep all day. Why don't you get up and exercise a bit?"

Inside the bear enclosure, Sister Hong'er was angrily tapping Cheng Hao's butt with a mop.

This lazy bear eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats. Now its waist is thicker than a tire and its brain is bigger than a water tank.

If it's to build up fat for winter, then I wouldn't say anything, but it's only been spring for a short while now.

He started gaining weight, and if this continues, he might not even be able to walk.

"Hmph~ (Sis, what are you doing? Isn't staying in the zoo just about eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating?)"

"Hmph~ (Besides, you won't be happy if I run around everywhere.)" Cheng Hao, who had been woken up, couldn't help but complain.

"What are you looking at, you big lazy bear? Hurry up and sit down." Cheng Hao grunted.

Sister Hong put down the mop, picked up the toilet brush and the connected hose, and called out to Cheng Hao.

He kept complaining while swiping:

"You lazy bear, you lie here all day long, you're all smelly now."

"Can't you just go and take a bath in the pit yourself? I always have to clean you up."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but tap Cheng Hao on the head.

But it was quickly bounced back.

Sister Hong'er looked on helplessly; this big fat guy was so fat that he would bounce back if you hit him with something.

"Hmph~ (It's not that I can't stand it, it's that you guys can't stand it, so naturally you guys have to keep doing the grinding.)"

Cheng Hao, who was being tapped on the head, replied, opened his mouth, took the water from the hose, and spat it at Sister Hong'er.

This prompted Sister Hong'er to tap it again with the brush, but it still bounced back.

So she put down the brush, dropped the hose, rolled up her sleeves, pinched Cheng Hao's furry ear, and pulled it up:

"You big lazy bear, you better behave, okay? Don't cause me any trouble. After I give you a bath, I still have to attend a meeting in the park."

"Waaah~ (Easy, easy! I know I was wrong, I was just keeping you company because I was worried you'd be bored!)"

Cheng Hao, whose ear was being pinched, immediately backed down and lowered his head.

What happened to the gentlemanly rule of using words, not fists? Why is the other party getting so agitated?

It was clearly the other party who started the trouble first.

"You know you were wrong, right? If you know you were wrong, then cooperate obediently."

Seeing Cheng Hao lower his head, Sister Hong'er nodded in satisfaction.

The hand that was pulling the ear was changed to kneading:

"You fatso, behave yourself and stop sleeping in so late, okay? The business isn't doing well right now. If you want to keep getting honey water and fruit and steamed buns every day, get up more often and show it to people."

"We may not be as cute as pandas, but look at your big face, it's much better than other bears, isn't it?"

When the zoo's profits decline, the first thing to be cut is the food standard for the animals.

While we won't let them go hungry, the quality of their food will definitely be much worse.

If the food quality deteriorates, the animals' fur will lose its luster and they won't look as good.

But there was nothing we could do but work together as a whole zoo to come up with a solution.

All she could think of was to tell Cheng Hao to stop sleeping all the time and to act cute when tourists came.

After all, with his chubby face, if he's styled properly, he could still attract some tourists.

"Hmph~ (Ah! Our garden is really not doing so well. I thought you were joking with me, sis.)" Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao stopped joking around.

The zoo is his retirement home. If the zoo doesn't make money and goes bankrupt...

He still doesn't know where to send it.

So starting tomorrow, he'll have to work harder to attract more repeat customers.

As for now? Of course, I have to go back to bed and sleep.

"Alright! I've finally gotten you clean, you big lazy bear."

"Remember not to run around, or I don't want to wash you again tomorrow morning."

At this time, Sister Hong'er had almost finished washing and turned off the water.

Actually, Cheng Hao doesn't move around much every day, so he's not that dirty. It's just that he's been lying down for too long, and his hair has become a bit flat and doesn't look good.

Only then will I give him a bath and scrub him with a brush.

Once the hair dries, it will be fluffy the next morning.

This makes the bear look fluffy and even cuter.

"Hmph~ (Look at what you're saying, sis, it's like I'm very willing to move.)"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao, who was shaking the water droplets off his fur, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But Sister Hong'er had already packed her things and left the bear enclosure to attend a meeting.

When Cheng Hao saw it, he felt like he had wasted his breath.

It could only shake its fur and run to the two iron buckets next to it to enjoy its dinner.

Dinner was no different from usual; one metal bucket contained food, and the other contained water.

The food container was still filled with steamed buns and cornbread on top, chicken breast and fish in the middle, and cabbage, carrots and apples at the bottom.
