Chapter 112: Chapter 112: How Many Steps Does It Take to Rescue the Little Elephant?

[Pop quiz: How many steps does it take to put a Little Elephant into an aircraft?]

Liang He’s sudden riddle left the netizens, who were still wondering how she would save the Little Elephant, momentarily speechless. But what followed was a heated discussion.

[Wait... I thought I was following a serious streamer, but—this is so fun! I want to play too!]

[What the hell? I came to watch a Little Elephant rescue, not to guess some braindead riddle, okay?]

[I know this one! First, you need an aircraft big enough to fit the Little Elephant!]

The anti-fans and paid trolls did what they always did, seizing any opportunity to smear Liang He. Unfortunately for them, neither the streamer, her fans, nor even the casual passersby bothered to pay them any attention.

As for the riddle, the moment they heard it, the Blue Star people’s DNA was instantly activated. They eagerly participated and actively left comments.

[Yes, yes, yes! Then you open the aircraft, let the Little Elephant in, and close the aircraft!]

[Why are you all having so much fun answering such a boring and simple question?]

[Hahaha! Breeder, why don’t we exchange secret signals and give the people of other planets a little "shock"!]

Liang He perfectly understood what the netizens meant by "secret signals." In fact, the original premise of this riddle was a very famous Blue Star brain teaser: *How many steps does it take to put an elephant into a fridge?*

"Ahem, I have a question." Seeing the lively chat in the stream’s comment section, Hoder also started pondering. "Liang He, we don’t seem to have brought an aircraft."

On a planet dedicated to wildlife conservation like Greenfield Star, there were specialized aircraft developed specifically for large, ferocious beasts. Given the tonnage of an adult elephant, it might pose a challenge, but for a Little Elephant weighing barely half a ton, an aircraft could easily handle it. The core of the problem, however, was that when they left the hotel, one was riding an elephant and the other was riding the Platinum Giant Lion. Neither of them had brought an aircraft!

"After the Bear Bees returned, I contacted the hotel and had them send an aircraft to follow us," Liang He explained. She had even specifically instructed them that the transport must be capable of holding a Little Elephant, just in case.

"Impressive!" Hoder couldn’t help but give her a massive thumbs-up for her foresight, and the netizens were equally generous with their praise.

[So, while we were still doubting whether the Bear Bees had actually found the Little Elephant, the Breeder was already figuring out how to save it?]

[Awesome, truly awesome! Thinking ten steps ahead—this time, the streamer is playing 4D chess in the stratosphere!]

[Aren’t you guys overreacting? Using an aircraft to rescue a Little Elephant isn’t exactly a hard concept to grasp. Is all this flattery really necessary?]

Whether faced with praise or mockery, Liang He remained as calm as ever. What she needed to figure out now was how to get the aircraft down into the trap. First, she had to clear the area—starting with the Fierce Beast tangled in combat with the Platinum Giant Lion.

"Cyril, finish this quickly!"

"ROAR!"

Receiving the command, the Platinum Giant Lion stopped playing with his prey. He went straight for the kill, sinking his teeth into the Fierce Beast’s vitals and refusing to let go. Once his opponent was completely exhausted, he delivered a few heavy swipes with his paws, smashing it mercilessly into the ground. He didn’t stop until the Fierce Beast drew its last breath.

"Hoder, help throw a rope down," Liang He called out. The aircraft was already in position and had brought plenty of rescue equipment. She planned to have Hoder pull the dead Fierce Beast up first.

"Understood!"

Finally realizing why Liang He hadn’t let him come down with her, Hoder felt he was of some use at last. Brimming with motivation, he followed her instructions without a moment’s hesitation. Following Liang He’s directions, he tied one end of the rope around the base of a large tree and tossed the other end into the trap. Liang He tied the Fierce Beast tightly, ensuring it wouldn’t slip, before issuing her next command.

"Pull it up!"

"Got it!"

Hoder, along with the staff who had arrived in the aircraft, hauled on the rope and pulled the corpse to the surface. After repeating this process several times for the other carcasses, only the Platinum Giant Lion, the Little Elephant, and Liang He were left in the trap.

"Cyril, can you get up there on your own?" Tying him up with a rope felt a bit too rough, and Liang He was afraid of hurting the Platinum Giant Lion. If he couldn’t climb out, she would just send the Little Elephant up first and then have the aircraft come down to pick them up.

"ROAR!"

Lions were felines, after all. Climbing was no difficult task for the Platinum Giant Lion. With an effortless leap, Cyril scaled a third of the trap’s height. Then, with a few swift, agile bounds, he instantly appeared right beside Hoder.

[Whoa~ The Platinum Giant Lion is so handsome! He looks incredibly cool!]

[Such a tiny trap is no match for him!]

[I’m suddenly curious: between a lion, a tiger, and a leopard, which one climbs the fastest?]

Seeing that the Platinum Giant Lion had safely reached the surface, Liang He began figuring out how to widen the trap’s opening so the aircraft could descend.

"BARROO—"

Having not seen the Little Elephant for a long time, the Elephant Group seemed to be growing restless and anxious. Liang He quickly told the Little Elephant to call back.

"Barroo..." Laying flat on the ground, the Little Elephant rubbed its trunk affectionately against Liang He’s palm, letting out a weak response to its family’s calls.

Hearing the Little Elephant’s voice, the Elephant Group was filled with joy. Gradually pacified, they continued waiting obediently around the perimeter.

"The soil here doesn’t look loose, so there shouldn’t be any concern about a collapse." Liang He observed the walls of the trap and suddenly had a bold idea. "Little one, could you ask your family to use their trunks to clear away the camouflage covering the opening?"

Since she was down in the trap, Liang He wasn’t sure if she could still communicate seamlessly with the Elephant Group, so she had to rely on the Little Elephant to relay her message. Knowing that the human in front of it was trying to save it, the Little Elephant obediently cooperated with Liang He and conveyed her intentions to the herd.

"Barroo..."

Although the Little Elephant’s voice was faint, the Elephant Group, constantly attentive to its well-being, quickly caught the sound. Understanding Liang He’s plan, they sprang into action.

[Huh? Why are these elephants starting to walk toward the trap?]

[Don’t! Didn’t the Breeder just say that the elephants’ weight might cause a cave-in?!]

[Don’t panic just yet. I saw the streamer talking to the Little Elephant earlier. Did she ask it to communicate with the Elephant Group?]

[Hilarious. You guys are blindly trusting this streamer way too much. How can you believe something so ridiculous?]

There were still people who remained skeptical about Liang He’s ability to command the Elephant Group and the Bear Bees. Seizing the opportunity, the anti-fans and paid trolls began muddying the waters with their cynical sneers. Unfortunately for them, Liang He didn’t care about external opinions at all; her mind was entirely focused on saving the Little Elephant.

"BARROO—"

Having walked to the closest safe position around the edge, the Elephant Group used their trunks to pull away the top layer of camouflage, widening the hole. Only at this moment did everyone finally understand why Liang He had called the Elephant Group over.

"Brilliant! How did Liang He even think of this method?"

"You really have to hand it to the youth; their minds work so fast!"

"What was originally a troublesome and even dangerous task was effortlessly resolved by her. Truly impressive!"

Inside the surveillance room, praises for Liang He flowed endlessly. Only one person stood in a corner with a dark gaze, secretly sending a message to someone.
