Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Milk Tea and the Winter Three-Piece Set

Dragged down by the two koalas, the Mengji Snow Leopard had no choice but to dejectedly act as their mount. He accompanied them on several laps around the woods before finally being freed.

"MEOW..."

He swore to never steal pinecones again. And even if he did, he would definitely not use koalas as bags! The Mengji Snow Leopard lay on his bed, physically and mentally exhausted. He remained listless and sluggish until dawn. It seemed he was heavily "traumatized" by the successive moments of sheer mortification last night.

"Has Kuang Ye not recovered yet?" Lan Zhuo looked at the Mengji Snow Leopard with some concern.

In the past, Beastmen in their Evolutionary Stage did not allow anyone to approach them. To observe them, one had to rely on surveillance monitors or watch from a distance. Now, thanks to Liang He, he had the chance to observe an Evolutionary Beastman up close. Lan Zhuo cherished this rare opportunity.

"It seems so. He wouldn’t shut himself away, would he?" Liang He asked. She had heard that animals could develop psychological issues too, and she worried that her and Hoder’s laughter last night had left a shadow on the Mengji Snow Leopard’s heart.

"I doubt it," Lan Zhuo reassured her. "No matter what, he is still an SSS-grade Beastman; his mental fortitude couldn’t be that fragile."

"That’s good." Hearing the professional Veterinarian’s answer, Liang He breathed a small sigh of relief.

"Eh? Liang He, what are you doing?" Carefree Hoder’s attention was always drawn to food.

Seeing Liang He arrange two buckets of fresh milk, a jar of white sugar, and several different types of tea leaves on the table, Hoder wondered what delicious treat she was concocting now.

"I’m going to make milk tea for everyone," she explained. Winter had arrived, and Liang He suddenly remembered the Blue Star’s "winter starter pack," which she planned to let everyone experience. "Besides milk tea, I’ve also prepared roasted sweet potatoes, sugar-roasted chestnuts, and candied hawthorn sticks. This is the winter starter pack from the Blue Star."

"Wow! So lavish! Is it for dinner?" Just listening to the list made Hoder drool; he could hardly wait. Of course, he wasn’t the only one getting impatient. The colleagues in the control room were also eager.

"I’m still dreaming about the dumplings Liang He and the others made by hand last time. I didn’t expect more delicious food so soon!"

"Haha, why do I feel like besides being a Breeder for fierce beasts, Liang He has started a part-time job feeding us?"

"No wonder I saw Liang He buy so many sweet potatoes and take the Marshal and the others to pick fruit. It was all to make good food for us? BOOHOO, I’m so touched!"

Equally curious about the winter starter pack and milk tea, Lan Zhuo quietly watched Liang He’s busy movements from the side before quickly expressing his desire to try it as well.

"Of course."

Liang He yielded her spot to Lan Zhuo. Seeing that his movements were slow but completely correct, she confidently left the grand enterprise of milk tea making in his hands.

"Then I’ll go prepare the winter starter pack."

"I’ll help too!" Hoder decided that the delicate task of making milk tea, which required precise ratios, didn’t suit him. Instead, he chose to help Liang He score the chestnuts and skewer the hawthorns.

Warm afternoon sunlight spilled through the glass windows onto the trio in the kitchen. Liang He decided to start a livestream to recommend the winter starter pack and milk tea to everyone.

[Ding. The Fur Raising Officer livestream room you follow has opened.]

Fans who were accustomed to scrolling through the Fur Raising Officer’s videos every day almost didn’t react when they saw the notification. By the time they clicked on it out of habit, they realized that the Fur Raising Officer had actually started another livestream!

[AHHH! What glorious day of universal celebration is this? The streamer is actually doing a livestream for once!]

[Oh my god, I almost couldn’t squeeze in. Didn’t the livestream just start? How are there already over ten million people?]

[Wow, is this the new Veterinarian? So handsome! By the way, what kind of experiment is he doing? Are we even allowed to watch this?]

After getting consent from Lan Zhuo and Hoder, Liang He pointed the camera at Lan Zhuo first, providing a voiceover introduction.

"Good afternoon, everyone! Let me introduce you to our service area’s Veterinarian, Doctor Lan Zhuo," Liang He announced to the camera.

Noticing the lens, Lan Zhuo lifted his gaze from the glass measuring cup in his hand and offered a gentle smile. "Hello, I am Lan Zhuo."

With his refined appearance and extraordinary temperament, Lan Zhuo captured the hearts of many starry-eyed fans the moment he appeared.

[Doctor Lan is so handsome! Suddenly, I really envy the fluffy animals. I want to be treated by Doctor Lan too~ Sob.]

[To the commenter above, you’re making me throw up yesterday’s dinner. Do us a favor and act normal, please!]

[Excuse me, am I the only one curious about what Doctor Lan Zhuo is doing? It looks quite tempting!]

As a Veterinarian, Lan Zhuo was extremely strict with the measurements for the milk tea recipe. He prepared everything exactly according to the proportions Liang He provided. Only when all the prep work was done did he begin roasting the tea leaves.

"Next, I’ll explain the process of making milk tea," Liang He told the viewers. "For those of you who want to try it out, feel free to take some notes."

Lan Zhuo’s impeccable procedure, paired with Liang He’s commentary, made the influx of viewers drool. The quick-handed ones were already placing orders on Blue Star shopping websites.

[Thank God for the Blue Star’s delivery culture! I can actually buy milk tea at home and enjoy its deliciousness in sync with the Fur Raising Officer!]

[I’ve noticed that ever since the streamer blew up, quite a few Blue Star shops have popped up around me. Every time I visit, it’s a pleasant surprise! So awesome!]

[Haha, the streamer is single-handedly boosting the Blue Star’s economy, helping their business owners gain a firm foothold in the interstellar realm. That’s a huge accomplishment!]

The moment Lan Zhuo finished roasting the black tea and sugar and poured in the milk, a rich aroma of dairy mixed with black tea instantly filled the entire kitchen.

"It smells so good! Hurry, let me try some!"

Hoder was an impatient foodie. Without waiting for Lan Zhuo to distribute it, he found a spoon himself and began scooping the milk tea into a cup.

"Hoder, how long is it going to take you to scoop a full cup at that rate?" Liang He shook her head in sheer speechlessness. She went to the kitchen, grabbed a ladle, and handed it to Hoder.

Needless to say, the new tool was much handier. In no time at all, he had the cup filled to the brim. Looking at the milk tea that was about to overflow, Hoder was afraid of spilling it and didn’t dare lift it directly. He could only compromise by bending over and loudly slurping from the rim of the cup.

"Wow! This milk tea is so delicious!"

With the first sip successfully solving the overflow problem, Hoder completely threw caution to the wind. He chugged the milk tea, going GLUG GLUG GLUG, somehow managing to drink the sweet and tasty beverage with the ferocity of someone in a drinking contest. Hoder was truly one of a kind.

"It is indeed very good." Seeing Hoder rate it so highly, Lan Zhuo ladled a cup for himself and Liang He. At the first mellow sip, Lan Zhuo nodded in satisfaction.

[Dammit! I want to drink milk tea too, but there are absolutely no milk tea shops selling it near me!]

[I’m guessing that by the time today’s livestream ends, many more milk tea shops will pop up across all the interstellar planets.]

[Oh my, sorry, but there’s a milk tea shop right near my house! I’ll take the first sip to show my respect!]

[To the person above, you’re purposely drawing aggro! I don’t care, I want to drink it too, or else I’m going to fight you!]

A single cup of milk tea had the netizens salivating out of their minds, making them completely forget that the winter starter pack was still waiting for them. It wasn’t until Liang He and Hoder placed the candied hawthorn sticks, sugar-roasted chestnuts, and roasted sweet potatoes on the table that the crowd was stunned to realize the milk tea was merely an appetizer. The main event was yet to come!

[Can someone tell me what color sack the Fur Raising Officer likes? I’m preparing to kidnap someone. Thanks.]

Everyone initially thought it was just a netizen making an abstract joke, and they enthusiastically offered their ideas. They never expected that someone would actually plot against the Fur Raising Officer.
