Watching the mentally disabled jackal cub constantly gnawing at his pant leg, Yang Lin, who was about to leave, picked it up again.
Normal jackal cubs would have a hard time surviving in the current environment of the Qinling Mountains, let alone such a mentally challenged jackal cub.
"What a pitiful little guy, but you're lucky you met me."
As he spoke, a white beam of light sprayed from Yang Lin's fingertips.
When the light shone on the mentally disabled jackal cub, a miraculous change instantly occurred in the cub's brain.
The brain, which had stopped developing due to congenital genetic reasons, instantly became extraordinary.
This change was also reflected in its appearance.
The most obvious change was that the jackal cub's head had grown by a whole size.
Seeing this change in the jackal cub, Yang Lin's expression instantly became confused.
"What the heck, doesn't the Light of Evolution fix its genetic defects?"
"Now it seems like it's just amplified its mental retardation, like it drank Sanlu milk powder."
As he was thinking this, the little guy in his arms suddenly yipped at him.
Hearing the little guy's yip, Yang Lin finally noticed that a hint of intelligence, not usually found in animals, had appeared in the cub's eyes.
Noticing this, he found the relevant information for the little guy again.
[Jackal Cub (Super Brain State)]
Seeing the words in the box, Yang Lin finally confirmed that the Light of Evolution had not evolved the jackal cub from a little mentally challenged to a greatly mentally challenged.
Instead, it had bestowed upon it higher intelligence.
However, it was clear that everything had its pros and cons.
Looking at the jackal cub's slightly uncoordinated limbs due to its oversized brain, Yang Lin immediately said to the jackal leader he had rescued earlier:
"From today on, its safety will be your responsibility."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the jackal leader seemed to sense the jackal cub's extraordinary nature and nodded solemnly.
The next second, under Yang Lin's gaze, it carried the slightly frail jackal cub on its back.
It seemed to be declaring to Yang Lin that it would protect this little one with its life.
Seeing this, Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at the time on his phone and turned to leave.
As he turned to leave, the jackals stared intently at his retreating figure, as if imprinting his image in their minds.
...
"Why hasn't Director Yang returned yet? Don't tell me he was eaten by the jackal pack."
"What are you kidding? Director Yang, who can punch a full moon tiger and kick a toothless lion, a man like an eagle, would be eaten by a pack of red dogs?"
"Shouldn't we go look for him?"
"Are you even speaking human language? Director Yang treats the Qinling Mountains like his backyard, and we can wander around as we please. What if we encounter wild beasts?"
.....
After the television crew had waited for about ten minutes, a figure finally emerged from the dense forest.
It was none other than Yang Lin, who had disappeared for half the day.
The moment they saw Yang Lin appear, everyone present felt as if they had seen a close relative.
"Director Yang, you're finally back. If you hadn't returned, we wouldn't have been able to go back today."
"Yeah, this forest is too scary."
Hearing their words, Yang Lin just smiled.
"Don't worry, the animals in the mountains are actually very friendly."
After speaking, he asked the Paw Patrol and Jin Mao:
"What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Paw Patrol dogs barked excitedly.
Clearly, they had a great time on the mountain this trip. The animals on the mountain were all talented, and they loved them.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless.
"Alright, our task for the morning is complete. Let's go back to compile the data and then make further arrangements."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the television crew breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the audience, they left Niutou Mountain.
When everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain again, it was already afternoon.
A simple camp had been set up on the wheat field that had been plowed by wild boars earlier.
To Yang Lin's surprise, the camp was not only attended by people from the Forestry Bureau and relevant departments, but also by various media outlets.
As soon as he appeared, reporters swarmed him with microphones and cameras.
"Director Yang, I'm a reporter from Bashu Observation. I'd like to ask, what is the current extent of the wild boar problem in Weinan? As an expert in the field, what suggestions do you have?"
"Director Yang, I'm a reporter from Toutiao..."
"Director Yang, I'm from Penguin..."
...
Facing the encirclement of reporters and news media, Yang Lin was not flustered at all.
"I cannot give a definite conclusion on the wild boar problem yet. Everything will be announced after the final data is released."
"Also, I'm not an expert, so I can't easily offer suggestions."
While Yang Lin was dealing with the reporters, other hunting teams also returned to the camp.
The data they had collected was quickly submitted to Yang Lin.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people on site, Yang Lin took out a large whiteboard and a monitor.
Seeing this, the media and viewers in the live broadcast room were confused for a moment.
Until Yang Lin wrote down the data item by item on the whiteboard.
"According to statistics from myself and 18 hunting teams, there are nearly 200 wild boar groups of various sizes living in the forests within a fifty-kilometer radius."
"Therefore, I estimate that there are more than 2,000 wild boars in the area where we are located."
"If this number is expanded to the entire Weinan City, it will increase to 20,000, and if it is expanded to the entire Qinling Mountain area, it will reach a terrifying 200,000."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
Although they had heard that the wild boar population in the Weinan area was large, they had never expected it to be so numerous.
Just when everyone thought that was all, Yang Lin quickly presented another set of data.
"According to data provided by the Forestry Bureau and local departments in recent years, and my personal investigation, the number of tigers living in the Weinan area is 0, the number of leopards is only 2, the number of wolves is 15, the number of jackals is 18, the number of clouded leopards is 7, and the number of black bears is less than 10..."
At first, everyone didn't understand why Yang Lin would list the long string of data that followed.
Until Yang Lin drew a large circle around these animals on the whiteboard.
Looking at this large circle composed of different animals, everyone suddenly understood.
