The zoo!
No one expected a two-year-old child to fall into the Tiger Enclosure.
It was an accident—an incredibly dangerous accident.
Everyone froze for a second. When they looked down, the child had already landed inside the Tiger Enclosure.
Panic erupted. Everyone shouted for help.
But the walls were too high, and with tigers below, no one dared to jump in.
Going down now would just make you tiger food.
Some people called the police, some contacted the zoo staff, others shouted to lower a rope so the child could grab it.
But could a two-year-old even manage that?
People offered all kinds of ideas, but nothing worked in the moment.
The elderly man who had accidentally let go of the child was already stunned and helpless.
The only bit of good news: the child didn't seem seriously hurt from the fall. He could still stand and move around, though he was crying in fright.
A nearby tiger was slowly approaching.
A cold gleam flashed in its eyes.
Tigers don't eat their own cubs—that only applies to their own. When it comes to other small lives, tigers show no mercy.
Zhou Chenchen, like everyone else, was anxious, but she had no solution either.
She was the one who called zoo management.
She quickly got a response—rescue staff were being dispatched and would arrive in five minutes.
But time waits for no one. At this rate, by the time they got here, the child might be gone.
"What do we do?"
"What do we do?"
"Lord, if only you were a little bigger… then maybe you could save him."
Zhou Chenchen looked down at the Fang Ping in her arms. She knew how smart he was—but in the end, he was just a cat.
In this situation, a cat could do nothing.
That small body, jumping down would just add to the tiger's snack tray.
She was just venting. She never expected Fang Ping to actually help.
All they could do now was wait for the zoo staff—and hope they got there fast, faster.
But the zoo was massive, and even emergency staff would need time to reach the Tiger Enclosure.
In the Live Streaming Room, the viewers were just as anxious.
...
"What was that adult doing? Too careless, too negligent."
"Knowing this was the Tiger Enclosure, why let a child get so close to the edge? Completely irresponsible. Didn't he know how dangerous it was?"
"What kind of parenting is that? Doesn't he feel guilty?"
"My god, there's a tiger down there—how do we save the kid?"
"That child is done for. If the fall didn't kill him, the tiger will."
"He looks about two years old, and now he's about to meet his end in a tiger's mouth. Next life, pick better parents."
"Sadly, Lord can't help this time."
"No matter how capable Lord is, he's still just a cat—no match for a tiger."
...
Fang Ping stuck his head out to look at the child in the enclosure—what danger!
Even though zoo tigers were different from wild ones, their ferocity could still erupt at any moment.
But what could he do?
Jumping down wouldn't stop the tiger.
He was just a cat.
Anyone who says cats aren't afraid of tigers—try it yourself.
Just compare their sizes, and your knees will start shaking.
It's not that Fang Ping didn't want to save the child—he simply couldn't.
Ding!
Host has triggered a Lord Card–level mission: Rescue the child who fell into the Tiger Enclosure.
Upon success, Host will obtain the Lord Card skill.
At that moment, the system notification sounded in his mind.
This time, it prompted him on its own—but this mission… was it too much?
Fang Ping's cat eyes turned toward the Tiger Enclosure.
One bite from a tiger and his bones would be dust.
The Lord Card grants Host the strength and aura of the King of Beasts, commanding all animals to yield. Effective for 24 hours. Activate now?
Another system message came through.
Fang Ping hesitated.
He hadn't expected the Lord Card to have such a powerful effect.
Was there even a question?
"Activate!"
Fang Ping said silently in his mind.
In an instant, he felt something stir from deep within—as if a supreme beast had awakened inside him.
That overwhelming power and aura of an unstoppable King of Beasts made his very body tremble with excitement.
So this... was what it felt like to be King of Beasts!
Fang Ping's blood was boiling!
Zhou Chenchen felt the tremble in the cat she was holding.
She thought Fang Ping was scared by what she had just said.
"Lord, what's wrong? Don't be afraid. I wasn't really asking you to jump down!"
She lowered her head to comfort Fang Ping.
But in the next moment, Fang Ping suddenly leapt out of her arms.
He jumped from the tall wall of the Tiger Enclosure—without hesitation.
"Lord!"
Zhou Chenchen cried out, reaching to grab him.
But Fang Ping moved like a flash of golden lightning.
Her hands came up empty.
The staff member surnamed Li captured Fang Ping's motion immediately.
In the Live Streaming Room, viewers saw everything live.
...
"Lord jumped down! He's going to save the kid—I knew Lord would do this!"
"Lord, truly worthy of the name!"
"Lord is walking straight into the jaws of the tiger—what a hero!"
"Lord, come back!"
"I'm in tears. From now on, I'm a die-hard Lord fan. I'll follow him anywhere!"
"I'll follow him anywhere!"
"I'll follow him anywhere!"
"I'll follow him anywhere!"
...
The viewers went wild—hearts pounding with adrenaline.
But they also felt—
Lord probably wouldn't make it.
The Tiger Enclosure!
Fang Ping landed nimbly next to the child.
The two-year-old looked mostly unharmed, but he was clearly terrified—crying nonstop.
Fang Ping walked over, raised a front paw, and gently touched the child's head.
He activated the system skill: Affinity Boost.
Affinity Boost made young creatures feel warmth and safety—it worked on human children too.
The child seemed to feel comforted.
He looked at Fang Ping—and slowly stopped crying.
Viewers in the Live Streaming Room finally felt a brief wave of relief.
But then—
Tension spiked again.
Behind Fang Ping, a massive shadow loomed.
The tiger's jaws opened wide!
ROAR!
A tiger's roar shook the air!
