Chapter 36: I’m A Vet
Liu Man said, “No, I haven’t called yet. It’s Sunday today, so I don’t think they’re working.”
“Oh, yeah. I’m dumb.” — Peach is a fairy.
At the start, the live-streaming room had had a good atmosphere. The audience members and Liu Man had all been talking about cat food, their own cats, and things about their experiences with cats.
A new viewer called “Stay at home with a cat” said, “Sis, my cat has been eating fake cat food for quite some time now. He’s a male cat and doesn’t have big problems with his health, but recently, I’ve been noticing that his eyes aren’t as bright as before.”
“Maybe it’s your brain playing tricks on you. Sometimes when the weather is cloudy, there isn’t much light, and that makes a cat’s eyes look dim.” — Big face cat
“Maybe, but even when there’s good lighting, his eyes still look sickly.” — Stay at home with a cat
Most people always judged the situation with their own experiences, and since nobody else’s pets had ever had the same issue, they all thought that she was only making a huge deal out of it.
Liu Man could think of no reply to this question, and she also thought this audience member was thinking too much.
“You can’t blame everything on fake cat food. Those cat foods only mimic brands and factories, their basic ingredients are mostly the same as the factories too. They’d still be able to provide all the nutrients cats need, and most cats who consume those foods shouldn’t have any issues.”
“Yeah, businessmen only want to earn money by using the reputation of the famous brands. They aren’t that immoral.”
“I think that this live-streamer is just improvising and making things bigger than they are. She couldn’t forgive them just because they didn’t refund money for her. She’s the one who’s really on the fiddle.”
TL’s Note: They’re basically saying that Liu Man who’s exaggerating and making things seem bigger than they actually are.
“And also, about all of those pieces of evidence she received from who-knows-where… There’s no proof from any of the officials, so who can tell if they’re real? There’s a way to counterfeit all those signatures and stamps.”
…
A huge number of viewers suddenly rushed in. They were mostly created recently, and they sent a lot of negative information. They instantly overwhelmed all of the previous comments as they spammed.
“Sis, be careful! These are probably bots used by those shop keepers. I just viewed your Weibo account, there are lots of bots on there too.” — Peach is a fairy.
TL’s Note: Peach is a fairy means that the bots are also attacking her on Weibo. (Thanks, Sydney, for the clarification!)
“Where’s the manager? Kick them, quick.”
Liu Man was the only manager in her live-stream. Her fans had increased too quickly; she didn’t even have the time to make others her managers.
“Sis, click on my nickname and make me a manager. I’ll take care of this.” — Otaku Boy.
“And me, and me! I also want to be your manager.” — Peach is a fairy.
“I can do it too.” — Dragon’s Roar.
…
All of Liu Man’s old fans popped out to support her, and she felt very heart-warmed.
A live-streamer could set only four managers at most. Liu Man chose ‘Otaku Boy,’ ‘Peach is a fairy,’ ‘Dragon’s Roar,’ and ‘I’m Tingting.’
Within just a few minutes, the bots had posted hundreds and hundreds of comments. The five of them spent a lot of time trying to delete the comments, but there were too many, and they couldn’t delete them all.
“The cornea in the cats’ eyes contains an abundance of taurine, which has a promotional effect on the photosensory cells of the cornea. However, the cat itself cannot make any taurine, but mice meat contains a lot of taurines. Therefore, wild cats attain taurine by preying on mice. Cats as pets would only be able to get taurine from cat food. In real cat food, there would be an adequate amount of taurine. If the cat doesn’t get taurine from cat food for a long time, then the cornea would not be able to adapt. If it’s really serious, then the cat could go blind. I think there isn’t any taurine from the fake cat food.”
A long comment suddenly appeared amid the spamming of the bots. It contained a lot of words and was really conspicuous. It also perfectly answered the question that “Stay at home with a cat” had just asked.
Liu Man saw that this viewer was named as “I’m a vet.” She clicked to view his profile, but there was no picture of him, nor did he write anything about himself. It was a new account that had just signed in 10 minutes before this comment, and the only live-streamer he followed was “Princess Man.”
“This viewer must be a god.” — Peach is a fairy.
“God, how can I try to save the situation? Is my cat really going to go blind?” — Stay at home with a cat
“Don’t worry too much. Immediately stop feeding your cat the fake cat food, and if you can’t buy any other cat food, then you can try making your own. Ocean fish contains a lot of taurine, and you can buy some sardine or salmon, a chicken’s heart, some cow liver, and boil them each at a separate time. Mix them with a small amount of carrot and lettuce leaves. This will mitigate the effects.” –I’m a vet.
“Can we use the recipe you provided with to make homemade cat food?” — Big Faced Cat.
“Of course. If you’re trying to make homemade cat food, it’d be best if you also put in mashed fresh beef and chicken. If you’re economically stable, then feel free to also add in an adequate amount of bean dregs and starch.” — I’m a vet.
His comments solved the sense of urgency that many people had, since now, nobody knew where to buy good cat food. Instead of taking the risk of buying fake cat food again, they’d rather make their own.
Of course, a lot of people were busy going to work, and it would be unrealistic for them to make their own cat food every day. They put more of their hopes onto Princess Man, wishing that she would be quicker on contacting the dealing company at Hong Kong.
“Mr. Vet, are you a professional?”
“Yes, I have a certificate and can be recognized internationally as a vet.” — I’m a vet.
“Wow, 666.”
TL’s Note: If you’ve forgotten, then here’s a reminder: 666 (or with more 6s) is a way to praise/compliment someone and how they’re so amazing.
“666666.”
“No wonder you talk so professionally.”
“Mr. Vet, if we have any other issues about our pets in the future, can we ask you about it?”
“Of course. I’m also a fan of Princess Man. I will most likely be online every single time she live-streams in the evening. You only have to @ me.” — I’m a vet.
“Haha, thanks to sis and her charisma.”
“Yeah. A lot of veterinarians near my house act very cold. They usually ignore me when I have questions. They’re only so indifferent because they think so few people are veterinarians.”
“No need to fear in the future. If we have any other questions, we’ll just have to watch Princess Man’s live-stream.”
It was probably because of what “I’m a vet” had said, but Liu Man’s followers on the live-streaming application had suddenly gone over 10000.
