Chapter 29 (2/2)

His hair that always was tidy and fixed with hair gel, was now in a complete mess and it could be described as a bird’s nest, literally.

It was probably from when he let the little cub sit on his head… No hair gel would be a match for the cub’s small claws as he moved around on top of his head.

In the past, Tanner’s first reaction would have been to lose face. [2]

But now, after having experienced the feeling of being close to his cub, Tanner did not feel any negative emotions when he discovered this.

The cub had been so happy when he sat on his head, and this had made him happy as well…

When it came down to it, which was more important, maintaining face or his own cub?

Having already put down his barriers once, Tanner suddenly felt that it was not very difficult to let them down a second or third time.

After leaving the Waren estate, Xie Tao took the four cubs and boarded the returning starship.

This time, he managed to book a place on the latest commercial starship model, and so, about a half day later, Xie Tao arrived at Gaia Star together with the Knox cub and the three proud cubs wearing medals.

It was at this time that the “flying contest” tread on Xingyou reached its climax.

When some people were discussing how an unknown club had managed to make a Kuhti cub who had never been able to learn how to fly, master it and also win first place in the competition. A message suddenly emerged in the thread from a staff member of the Ary branch which attracted the attention of many people.

The Ary branch was ranked tenth among all nursing clubs in the interstellar and it was undoubtedly on many parents list when they decided on a club for their cub.

The message had not been officially issued by the Ary branch per se, but it had been sent by one of the staff members’ private account.

“That Kuhti cub stayed at our branch for more than half a year. The caretakers at our club gave spiritual guidance to the cub every day. Although it’s a pity that he did not fully grasp it before he left, I’m happy to see that the cub can now fly.”

Even though nothing was directly stated, just like as if it was only the person’s own emotions, they still specifically mentioned that the caretakers at their club had given spiritual guidance every day, and this, of course, made many people wonder.

After all, even though Ary branch, compared with the top three, still had a long way to go when it came to capital, background and so on. There was one thing that made them able to compete with the highest ranking clubs—- They had a S- level caretaker.

The Kuhti cub had been at the branch for over half a year and every day a S-level caretaker had used their spiritual power to guide the cub… when the cub later mastered flying, maybe it was actually because of Ary branch’s hard work?

This speculation was not groundless. Just thinking about a S- level caretaker’s excellent spiritual strength, it was quite reasonable to believe that the fact that the Kuhti cub had later acquired his flying ability was because of the repeated guidance given by Ary branch’s caretaker.

In addition to Ary branch, this Kuhti cub has been treated at several other clubs in the past as well. But even though some staff at these club had similar ideas, they could now only silently store these thoughts away in their heart.

Even though there was only a small hint in the other’s message, in the eyes of the other clubs, it was equal to claiming credit.

“It was obviously thanks to Ah Tao’s hard work and encouragements that the cub was willing to take the initiative to learn how to fly.” Seeing the comments on Xingyou which favored Ary branch, the staff at Yunbao branch immediately became dissatisfied.

Since it was not only the youth’s efforts but also because of the cub’s own hard work that he was able to learn how to fly, they did not feel it right to comment and let their club take all credit for this. But this didn’t mean that they were okay with watching others talk nonsense.

“The cub worked hard. Ah Tao often trained with him and the other two cubs also helped and flew with him every day. It is clearly because of this that the cub was slowly able to learn.” Xia Qi and the other staff members could not help curl their lips in disgust as they read the countless comments on Xingyou. They felt that they all were complete rubbish—

The Vice President and investor of their club had said that the reason the cub was not able to fly was psychological. Later, this had also turned out to be true. So what could spiritual guidance possibly have to do with it??

Through the live broadcast on the Star Network, the staff members knew that all three of their club’s fluffy cubs had gotten good placements and received medals in the competition. Xia Qi had not rushed things and had thought that when they came back, they could take a photo of Xie Tao standing with the three cubs by the gate. They could then upload it into the official account of their club.

She hadn’t expected that it would become such a hot topic on Xingyou…

Not being able to stand it, she had logged onto her own private Xingyou account and tried to clear thing up.

But it had been helpless, the comments refreshed too quickly, and her rebuttal drowned in the massive stream of comments.

She was outnumbered. With so many people believing the same thing, it was hard to make a difference, and the new people who joined in was off course quickly persuaded by the masses.

However, as the public opinion got more and more unified, a thank you letter from the Kuhti cub’s parents suddenly surfaced.

The first paragraph in the letter read—

To Yunbao Branch.

A stone stirs thousands of waves. The hot topic which had gradually calmed down due to the convergence of the public opinion once again started to boil.

Translator’s note:

We finally got to know the Kuwei and Cotto cubs’ names! ٩( ‘ω’ )و

For the fun of it, since there are different ways to translate them, I will let you guys decide. (See footnote) You can comment which name you prefer and I will announce the results next week.

By the way, sorry for the late update, my internet was down so I couldn’t publish. But to make up for it, here is a super cute picture that I recently found of the trio:
