The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 34)
"I feel that this Dr. Liao might be an important figure in the base."
Song Ning squatted down, seemingly playing with the big cat, but in reality, she was exchanging some of her thoughts with the cat.
"The woman who was selling gold just now clearly looked a little uneasy when she heard the name Dr. Liao. She then glanced at Captain Man several times. I guess it was because she didn't know Dr. Liao's identity and thought she was a fat sheep who offered a high price. But now that she knows Dr. Liao's identity, she felt a little embarrassed and guilty when she saw Sister Man go by."
Song Ning analyzed his views, which were not unfounded but rather conclusions drawn from observation.
"This Dr. Liao is probably an important figure in the base. He is usually well protected. People only know his reputation and have never seen him in person."
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Sister Man led Dr. Liao toward them. Dr. Liao was still holding the gold bracelet he had been playing with earlier.
"Let me introduce you. This is my younger brother. He's a scholar who used to enjoy doing small research projects, and he's still the same now."
"Brother, this is Xiao Song, and the one next to him is you, Leopard. I need to take them to register. Do you want to come with me or go back by yourself?"
Song Ning saw Dr. Liao's eyes light up as he looked at the big cat. Even though it was covered up tightly, its bright eyes still shone with a unique light.
"Hello, Xiao Song, and hello to this Mr. Leopard as well. I'll go with you. I don't know where Mr. Leopard is from, could I register him for you personally?"
personally?
Song Ning looked at Sister Man with suspicion.
Sister Man scratched her head. "Well, when we register at our base, we record the overall data, such as the body length in meters and any distinctive features. This makes it easier to distinguish them."
Another person only knew which danger level to classify these animals after making a record, although she felt that this "Leopard Master" didn't need to look to know it was level A, which is the highest danger level in their registered classification.
Song Ning understood, but politely declined.
"If possible, you can direct me, I'll do it myself. Brother Leopard doesn't really like interacting with strangers."
Actually, even without him saying it, everyone could tell, because the big cat was slightly opening its mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and growling a warning, not directed at anyone else but at Dr. Liao, whose eyes were shining as he stared at the big cat.
Sister Man was a little embarrassed, so she went up and slapped her younger brother on the back of the head.
"Of course, no problem. We respect the wishes of each of you. The registration place isn't far. Let's hurry over there, or we'll waste your time."
The registration area spanned almost the entire trading area. When they arrived, Song Ning found that there were far fewer people on this side than on the other side; there were only three groups of people in total.
One group was clearly from the base, while the other two groups consisted of five people on one side and only two on the other. The five people included men, women, and children, and each was accompanied by a real large cat.
Song Ning couldn't help but take a few more glances before confirming that it was probably the most common domestic shorthair cat, but its size looked anything but ordinary, almost as big as a large dog.
He couldn't help but gasp, "Has this cat mutated?"
He had heard legends about mutated creatures, which were said to be more ferocious, larger, and more intelligent than normal animals, but this was the first time he had ever seen one.
Sister Man glanced over there. "Oh, that cat? It's definitely a mutant, and it's quite famous. I think its name is Mimi, right?"
Song Ning nodded, then glanced at the large dog following the two men on the other side.
It looks like an Alaskan Malamute, but also a bit like a Husky; he wasn't quite sure.
Seeing his interest, Sister Man introduced him.
"That's an Alaskan Malamute and a Husky mix, but it's actually quite smart. Its two owners treat it very well, and it's quite famous around here. I think its name is Little Sweetheart?"
Mimi and Little Sweetheart?
Song Ning listened in silence for a while. How should I put it? It felt like such a careless naming.
He didn't expect karma to come so quickly. When they were registering, the people at the base asked him, "By the way, what's Leopard's name? We need to register it here for easier record-keeping."
This question left Song Ning speechless. He opened his mouth for a long time, and Sister Man looked at him in disbelief, "You didn't even think about giving it a name, did you?"
Song Ning himself found it a bit unbelievable. Yeah, why didn't he think of giving the big cat a name?
The people at the base couldn't help but laugh. "If all else fails, we can just write 'Lord Leopard' on it. I think that name actually sounds pretty badass, and it might even suit us."
Song Ning hesitated for a moment, and instead of agreeing immediately, she turned around, squatted down, and looked up at the big cat.
"What do you think, Brother Leopard? Or should I suggest a name for you?"
The black panther looked down into his human eyes, which were bright and reflected only his image, but this feeling still gave him an unsatisfying illusion.
He was a little irritable but didn't know why he was irritable. He felt that this situation was somewhat similar to the restlessness he had experienced that day, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was.
After a while, he gently nuzzled Song Ning's cheek with his kiss, his expression becoming as calm as ever, as if he didn't care about how she addressed him.
Song Ning hesitated for a moment, then turned to the people at the base and spoke.
"Let's register it like this for now, and I can change it later if I get a name, okay?"
The people at the base readily agreed, saying, "Of course, no problem."
It's just a name. In this apocalypse, having a name is enough. Now they've become much more open-minded about many things. If they couldn't be open-minded, would they not live in this apocalypse?
After the registration was completed, Song Ning discovered that the cat's body length was registered as 2.3 meters. This data made him slightly suspicious, because he always felt that the cat did not look that long before.
He thought for a moment and asked the people at the base, "Is Brother Leopard's size considered a mutant? Or is it considered a normal size?"
The person in charge of registration at the base was called Xiao Fu. He thought for a moment and then shook his head decisively.
"This should be slightly larger than normal size. Mutants are at least twice the size of normal. This one looks only slightly larger than normal, so it shouldn't be a mutant."
Song Ning felt that it didn't quite count, but the people at the base, who had registered so many mutants, should have more experience than him.
Oh well, it doesn't matter to him whether the big cat is a mutant or not.
He smiled and squinted, "Brother Leopard, you've worked hard. Now we can go over and browse those stalls to see what we can trade."
It has to be said that he had been looking forward to this segment for a long time.
