Superpower manga artist Kobayashi Narumi

Lin Chengshi turned on his phone, and there were thousands of contacts in his address book.

He can only find the number he wants by searching.

"Hey, is this Ichinose?"

"I heard that you are working at Shimotsuno Zoo now?"

"Yes, I want to collect materials."

"I want to get up close and learn about the habits of bears."

"Thanks! Then make an appointment on Tuesday?"

Lin Chengshi hung up the phone contentedly.

Eh, didn't he say that?

Even though he's a house manga artist, he's super popular.

Even if it's not clear whether it's because of his appearance or his family background.

But he has many friends.

He also went to a friend's cruise ship to collect materials, otherwise how could he be so clear about the structure of the ship and the means of escape?

It's good to have many friends. Threesomes must have my teacher.

Ichinose Hirozo is a very important friend of Hayashi Chengshi.

His family's business has a good relationship with Lin's business, and they have cooperated on many projects.That's enough for him to be on Lin Chengshi's list of friends.

He is also a man with his own interests.This changed him from an "ordinary" friend to what Lin Chengshi called an "interesting" friend.

And when he still has the knowledge that Lin Chengshi needs but doesn't have.

Lin Chengshi felt that they were close friends.

Ichinose Hirozo is the youngest of the three Ichinose brothers.

He doesn't have the majesty of his elder brother, nor the shrewdness of his second brother. He is a person with ordinary looks and IQ, and he has no chance to inherit the family business.

But he has his own dream, he wants to be a zoologist, and he does make unremitting efforts towards this goal.

Quite clichédly, his father didn't support his dreams.So he took a degree in college that he didn't want to take, and quit the job his father had arranged for him within a month of graduating.

It was later heard that he became a breeder at Ueno Zoo.

So Ichinose, who was standing in front of Lin Chengshi at this time, had a fashionable blonde hair dyed, but was wearing plain blue overalls, with a hearty smile on his face.

"Chengshi, long time no see. I've been reading your comics, "God's Grace" is really amazing."

Yes, when you meet a manga artist, this must be the first topic you talk about.Especially for the two of them, they both vaguely belong to the hexagram "children of a rebellious family", and there is a kind of tacit understanding.

Lin Chengshi didn't greet him politely: "I'm here to see Xiong, and I'll see if you're short of money by the way."

After hearing this, Ichinose was very happy: "You really haven't changed at all. Is it for collecting materials? Don't worry, if you have any questions about bears, you can ask me. I know everything. As for Money, the trust my mother set up for me has been activated, and my life is not a problem."

"Hey, Ichinose, what are you doing over there, it's time for Hushan to be fed!" someone shouted from far away.

It seems that Ichinose is very busy at work.

Lin Chengshi said reasonably: "It's okay, you are busy with your work, and you don't have to look at bears. I can follow other animals to enrich the material library." He was holding a compact camera in his hand.It's all here, and he's going to take more pictures of animals to go back.

Ichinose said: "I may not be able to take you close to animals, but I can take you into the work area."

He winked mischievously: "It's a bit against the rules, but I'm doing well here."

"My job is mainly to raise those ferocious beasts, including tigers, lions, and of course brown bears. They are not familiar with you and may bring you danger. So you can take a look outside the glass wall, okay?" Ichinose clasped his hands together.

"That's enough." Lin Chengshi looked at Ichinose, he seemed to be worried that Lin Chengshi's request could not be fully satisfied, and he was a little frustrated.

He couldn't help but tiptoed and patted Ichinose's shoulder vigorously: "Hirozo, you are always so honest, it really worries me."

"..."

Few people would add the adjective honesty to Ichinose Hirozo.

Regardless of his appearance or personality, he is generally considered outgoing or even frivolous.

Ichinose walked beside Lin Chengshi and led the way, but his peripheral vision drifted to Xiao Shuran who was beside him from time to time.

Lin Chengshi is shorter than him, and you can see the soft hair on the top of his head. Due to negligence, the bangs almost cover those beautiful eyes.Possibly in consideration of his exposure to animals, he was wearing a loose-fitting tracksuit and sneakers, the kind you'd only see in the gym.He didn't care about the strange eyes cast by passers-by.

In District [-], which has inexplicably strict dressing rules, Lin Chengshi always lives like a person from the outer district.

Ichinose looked away, Naruto's self-evaluation was always inexplicably low.He always said: "I'm just an ordinary cartoonist."

Where is it common.

I consider him a friend, not because of his family background and appearance, nor because of the friendship we grew up with.This guy, does he know how many people crave his attention.Has he discovered that when he needs to collect materials, he only needs to make a phone call, and no one will refuse the invitation to meet.Ichinose thought.

"You came just in time," Ichinose said, "After feeding the tiger, I should go feed the brown bear."

Since the brown bear is a ferocious animal, for the safety of the breeder, the brown bear must be removed from the cage in advance and allowed to enter the string house, and the breeder will then go in to replenish food.

Ichinose said to Lin Chengshi with a smile: "It is because you are a stranger that everyone obeys the rules. I have a good relationship with Amy. She has a gentle personality and will not attack me. Sometimes I will give her brush teeth."

Ichinose first carefully checked whether all the previous feed was eaten, and found that there was nothing left, so he nodded.If there is leftover feed, then Amy may have a health problem and he needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Ichinose replenished the food bowl with new feed, then exited the room and locked the door.

Lin Chengshi saw a staff manipulating the opening of another door, and the brown bear named Amy walked in with vigorous steps and began to eat.

To be honest, that posture really doesn't show the "docile" that Ichinose said.

Ichinose watched Amy eating with pity and tenderness in his eyes, and he said:

"Amy is too thin. Even though Northeast brown bears are small in size, she is only 200 kilograms, which is a bit lighter than the standard weight of a normal adult bear. It may be because she doesn't like meat.

What's more, she is still pregnant now.This is her first baby and we are all worried about her.You have to closely monitor her condition and adjust her diet.

During pregnancy, I have to increase her supply of animal feed.But Amy is a picky eater, and prefers to eat vegetables and fruits. She likes liver as animal feed, but she can't eat too much liver, which can easily cause diarrhea. "

Lin Chengshi reckoned that Ichinose didn't treat the bear well with his girlfriend. He actually looked at a bear eating with a doting look, and commented seriously: "What a troublesome vegetarian."

Lin Chengshi didn't know if Ichinose's breeder colleagues were as affectionate to a bear as he was, but this did not prevent him from being very interested in what Ichinose said.

So he asked: "What is the reproductive cycle of a female bear like?"

When it came to the topic of animals, Ichinose went on and on: "The sexual maturity of a brown bear is about 4 years old, and it usually enters the courtship period in May or June. The gestation period lasts up to 5 months, usually covering her hibernation period. , give birth in January and February of the next year. Interestingly, brown bears have a high probability of giving birth to twins and triplets. The cubs need careful care and will not be weaned until 6 months. (Note 7)”

At this time, Lin Chengshi suddenly found out that the setting of his work was not rigorous, and asked quickly: "Is it possible for the brown bear to give birth in November? If she gives birth in November, will she still hibernate?"

Ichinose replied: "Of course it is possible, and the temperature and environment factors must also be considered. In some hot areas, female bears may give birth all year round. And brown bears may not always hibernate. Things in nature cannot be used. Simple research data generalized."

Lin Chengshi asked again: "Does a mother bear have a strong desire to protect her cubs?"

"Of course," Ichinose said, "the female bears with their cubs are very ferocious, and they will drive away anyone who thinks they are a threat to their cubs.

Even, you know what?There are cases of male bears killing cubs.Because the existence of cubs will prevent female bears from entering the mating period for 2-3 years, in nature, many cubs are killed by male bears before they grow up. (Note 2)

Even so, the female bear will fight the stronger male bear in order to protect the cub, even if she dies in battle, she will not stop. "

Ichinose stared at Amy and said, "Our gentle Amy will also become a warrior because of being a mother. It's just that in the zoo, she and the baby will be safe. She may live to 50 years old, when I become an old man , you can also come to Ueno Zoo to see her."

Lin Chengshi suddenly realized something. He said, "How big is the biggest brown bear in the world?"

Ichinose said: "The biggest? Maybe it can reach 3 meters in length?"

Lin Chengshi was silent for a while, and asked, "Are there any bears that are 5 meters tall in the world?"

"Hahahaha, are you talking about short-faced bears? Judging from the specimens, maybe they can reach a maximum of 5 meters! But this kind of bear is extinct. They are really top predators, and they run very fast. They have fangs that can directly crush the bones of animals, and it is said that their main diet is bison!" (Note 3)

……

Lin Chengshi learned a lot from chatting with Ichinose.

Since Ichinose had other jobs, after seeing the bear, Lin Chengshi said goodbye to him and walked around the zoo by himself.

He went to the panda house very casually, and looked at the panda "Xiang Xiang" who was born in the fifth district.

Then ran to stare at the polar bear in a daze.

He recalled the brown bear he had seen in his dream, which was probably more than 5 meters tall.

After all, it is a manga, and the enemies in it always have to be exaggerated. Only a strong opponent can bring out the strength of the protagonist.

...So, the bear in the comics, could it be the extinct short-faced bear?
