The system takes the poor cub to find his father

"What's there? There's just a big tree with a hole in it..." 8517's tone suddenly paused, and his eyes fell on the big tree in front of him that had been alive for who knows how many years.

Even ten tall adults may not be able to hug its trunk together, its thickness is amazing.

The bark of the tree trunk is smooth and reddish brown. From a distance, it looks like a fat man with a beer belly.

The tree has a huge crown and its branches are densely twisted and entangled. Its shape is somewhat similar to the baobab tree that 8517 has seen on the blue planet before.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the huge tree hole in the trunk, which seems to be a mysterious entrance left by nature inadvertently.

"Baby, you're not going to live in this tree hole, are you?" 8517's tone contained a hint of shock, even a bit of disbelief.

He didn't even dare to think about letting the baby live in a tree hole.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Yu Mumu's voice was calm and matter-of-fact, and he even seemed a little surprised why 8517 would ask such a question.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with tree holes.

He recalled the time when he was thrown out of his home by adults on a rainy day. At that time, there was not even a tree hole to shelter from the rain, and he could only curl up in a cold corner. In comparison, the tree hole in front of him was simply a warm shelter.

Yu Mumu held 8517 in his arms and poked his little head into the tree hole.

Unexpectedly, the area inside the tree hole was even more spacious than a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on Blue Star, more than enough to accommodate a small cub.

What surprised Yu Mumu even more was that the inside of the tree hole was not as dark as they imagined, but instead there was a hint of soft light.

Yu Mumu was very satisfied with this new home that would soon become his and 8517's.

Home - this word has a special meaning in his heart.

Before the world changed, he had envied his friends who were taken away by new parents countless times. They had new homes and new lives, but he was always left behind.

The director once told them that as long as they were good and obedient, any child would be liked by their new parents.

Yu Mumu was always very good and obedient, and some adults even acted very kind to him at first. However, every time those adults came out of the dean's office, they would become hesitant and eventually leave with another child.

Yu Mumu was once curious about why they suddenly changed their minds.

Once, another couple took a fancy to Yu Mumu and wanted to take him away. He secretly stuck to the door of the dean's office and vaguely heard the conversation inside.

"That child...the mother...was mentally...hurt...so she was sent away...She is...pitiful." This was the voice of the director's aunt, with a hint of helplessness and regret in her tone.

"So... is it hereditary?" a strange voice asked worriedly.

"That's indeed pitiful, but we still want a child who is healthy both physically and mentally. Please recommend another one to us, Dean." A magnetic male voice sounded, with an unquestionable determination in his tone.

"But..." The gentle female voice wanted to fight for it again.

Yu Mumu's heart sank suddenly. He didn't fully understand the meaning of those words, but he knew that he seemed to be excluded from the scope of "physical and mental health".

He didn't understand why he was labeled like this and why he was always abandoned.

The office door was suddenly opened. Yu Mumu had no time to dodge and was tripped by a tall man. Her small body rolled on the ground.

"Oh! Are you okay, kid?" A gentle female voice sounded, and then a pair of warm hands helped him up.

Yu Mumu looked up and saw a face full of concern. She exuded a faint fragrance, like the smell in his dream.

The woman looked at him with guilt in her eyes, gently hugged him into her arms, and whispered "I'm sorry" in his ear.

The warm embrace made Yu Mumu feel briefly at ease, but soon the woman let go of him, turned around and followed the man away.

Yu Mumu stood there, and suddenly felt a biting cold all over her body, as if it was even colder than before she had been hugged.

He felt like he was back on that gloomy rainy day. The coldness around him made him shiver, and the sticky feeling lingered.

From then on, whenever new people came to select children, Yu Mumu always stayed away.

He no longer expected to be chosen, nor did he envy his friends who were taken away by their new parents.

He hid alone in the hawthorn tree behind the welfare home, watching the mother bird and father bird in the bird's nest huddled together to incubate eggs. It was particularly dazzling. He waited for them to go out to find food and took away an egg from the nest.

Then, under the scolding of the director, he was put into the solitary confinement room with his head hung.

However, the dark little room gave him a strange sense of security. He often fell asleep in it without realizing it, until one day, when he woke up, he found that the whole world had changed.

Yu Mumu shook her head and put those distant memories behind her.

Now, he has a new home, a tree hole that belongs to him and 8517. Although this home looks a bit simple, it is enough for him. The tree hole is surrounded by vibrant plants and the air is filled with fresh air. Yu Mumu can even feel that this big tree is more full of vitality than the surrounding trees.

Seeing Yu Mumu happily cleaning up the tree hole, 8517 felt even more distressed for the little cub. As his system assistant, it was its responsibility to make his life better.

Since Yu Mumu didn't plan to use his points to buy a house, 8517 decided to make his life more comfortable in his own way.

8517 quickly browsed the system mall and used his points to purchase an Interstellar Constant Temperature System. This system can automatically adjust the temperature in the tree hole to ensure that Yu Mumu can feel comfortable in any weather.

In addition, 8517 also bought some simple household items, such as a soft mattress, a warm blanket, and some basic kitchen utensils. Although these items do not fit the background of this era, their existence can make Yu Mumu's life more convenient.

Even after the little cub leaves here, these things will turn into data streams and dissipate between heaven and earth!

In order to prevent the tree hole from being invaded by wild animals or poisonous snakes, 8517 also specially purchased a simple defense system and arranged it around the tree hole. This system can not only resist the attacks of wild animals, but also prevent snakes and other reptiles from approaching, ensuring Yu Mumu's safety.

Thanks to the efforts of 8517, Yu Mumu's tree hole was soon transformed into a cozy natural tree house with three bedrooms and one living room. Although this home looks a bit simple, it is full of warmth and security. Yu Mumu sat on the soft mattress, looked around, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Qi, thank you." Yu Mumu said softly,

8517 did not respond, but just floated silently beside him.
