Advance notice: “Raising National Treasures at the Zoo” is looking for readers to add it to their lists~ Here’s the blurb for this story:
The orphan Wei Mao transmigrated to an interstellar world of beastfolk.
At last, he felt the warmth of having a home.
But... his family had gone bankrupt?
The whole family moved to an undeveloped little planet.
His parents’ company went under, and his eldest brother even went out to do manual labor.
His second brother was disabled and stayed shut up at home.
Wei Mao decided to use the spring water from his golden finger to develop the planet.
With the body of a five-year-old,
he would shoulder the burden of supporting his family!
Wei Mao’s parents:
Should we tell our little darling that our family bought this planet?
His eldest brother, who was supposedly attending military academy:
Should I tell my little brother that I get hurt every day because I’m going to class?
His supposedly disabled second brother:
Should I tell Mao Mao that all four of my limbs work perfectly, and I’m actually the greatest hacker in the galaxy?
The many fluffy creatures who came to mooch off them:
Should we tell little Wei Mao that every one of us is rich?
But when they saw Wei Mao’s soft, pale cheeks, his thoughtful care, and his hardworking little three-foot-tall self,
everyone thought: Damn... he’s just too cute. Better not.
A certain prince who’d been mooching off them for a long time: “Hah! I’m going to expose all your secret identities!”
Interstellar netizens: Please don’t let Wei Mao find out his family is rich! Otherwise, he’ll stop growing all that delicious food!
From Wei Mao’s perspective:
Whenever his family ran into a problem, he threw money at it!
The little animals tried to charm their way into getting food.
He... he refused:
No charming me. You can pay instead.
A certain prince: “Does that mean you won’t accept me charming you, either?”
Wei Mao: “Umm... fine, then.” (So you don’t get huffy and upset.)
Advance notice blurb
Lai He was a panda spirit who had cultivated for ten thousand years.
The moment he came down from the mountain, an interstellar spaceship took him away,
and he ended up in the star system where humanity now lived.
Forced by circumstances,
he had no choice but to apply for a job as a zookeeper,
taking care of the endangered national treasure, the giant panda.
He brought the pandas bamboo shoots and bottles of milk, and played with them.
But he had no idea that the younger ones would keep clinging to his legs.
An annoyed Lai He, in a moment of anger:
I’ll turn into a giant panda and scare you naughty little cubs!
Roar, huh?
Why had he turned into such a tiny panda?
Where was his tall, mighty bear body?
Several little pandas swarmed him.
They squeezed together like glutinous rice balls,
and Lai He... Lai He, in his tiny panda body,
couldn’t beat a few little cubs at all!
The big shot in the wheelchair next door
silently watched through the glass.
After a while, he turned into a giant leopard and leaped inside,
burying his face in Lai He’s belly and taking a deep inhale!
Meanwhile, the whole nation was watching the livestream:
Hurry, hurry! I want to get in on cuddling the panda cub, too!
There’s an unclaimed panda here. I saw it, so it’s mine!
Help, the zookeeper is so cute! I want him to take care of me!
Gradually, Lai He realized that things were getting more and more strange!
Not only were crowds of livestream viewers watching the pandas,
even when the little cubs pooped out their green rice cakes, people praised them!
And the other animals in the zoo
were looking at him with increasingly intense gazes!
On top of that, he kept finding more little animals outside who pretended to be hurt so he’d take them in!
He heard there were over ten thousand people lining up to see the panda cubs.
So why were all these people looking at him like that?
Feeling more and more uneasy, Lai He started saving money faster.
As soon as he had enough, he would take a spaceship back to his hometown on Earth!
Three little panda cubs hugged his legs and squealed nonstop.
The genius panda researcher: “You can’t leave. You touched me, so you have to take responsibility.”
The handsome peacock superstar: “Hm? Wherever you go, I’ll follow.”
The lop-eared rabbit author: “If you leave, I’ll write your character to death. Boohoo...”
The usually silent marshal turned into a giant leopard, picked him up in his jaws, and ran off.
Lai He: “Wait, where did all of you come from?”
Everyone: “We’re all the animals you’ve taken care of and kissed.”
Everyone again: “Wait? Who did Lai He kiss?”
A certain marshal: “Sorry, he kissed me.”
Theme: Work hard, and hold on to love and hope
Ah, this, this is a bit disgusting. Although it is just to give Maomao a formal reason to go, this approach is quite disgusting.
Mavis was too arrogant and uncomfortable to look at, as if he was that big fool waiting to be slapped in the face. Can you drive him back and give him something delicious to eat?
I feel that the plot here is a bit rushed. Even if this is a cub story, a big event like kidnapping and almost dying should not be dismissed with a sentence of punishment, saying that it cannot maintain human form, and then what? That's it?
Finished spreading flowers! ! Maomao is so cute! Sweet little article! However, I feel like Gong just liked Maomao from the beginning and there was no emotional development. I hope to work harder next time! Keep up the good work! ! !
The fur has become plush.
Claw, touch Mao Mao's head

Why can't the beginning and the end of the previous chapter keep up?
