Chapter 582: Chapter 378 Sweet Girl_1

After speaking, Liang Shaoqi fell silent again.

Friendship between people can be built through happily playing together.

The original plan was to join Feng Yi’s shooting work, to have fun during the live stream, and even if they weren’t familiar before, they would become acquainted through the process of playing.

But now, he didn’t have the courage to start playing.

It was too damn scary!

He considered himself to be fairly brave, but this really wasn’t something that just anyone could handle!

Feng Yi was truly ruthless!

"I won’t go to this one."

The place with a room full of venomous snakes was too challenging; he didn’t dare to get too close, couldn’t even bear to look too much.

"I’ll wait a little longer, and join in at the next location."

Whether he was explaining to others or reassuring himself, Liang Shaoqi moved a bit further away and found a place to sit down and watch the live stream on his phone.

Through the phone screen, the visual and psychological impact wasn’t as intense as being there in person. He buffered the shock he had just felt and prepared himself mentally once again.

During this period, Liang Shaoqi called someone from the live-streaming team over to ask about the location of the next segment.

Most of the animal enclosures in the zoo were prettily arranged for viewing purposes, and the interiors were not as simple and densely packed as the first "snake den".

After checking, the staff member came back and told Liang Shaoqi, "Next, we will be cleaning ’Sweetie’s’ enclosure. The main purpose is to talk to the viewers about how the space should be organized and how to create scenery to make her feel more secure. Also, how to disinfect and prevent bugs, the frequency of routine cleaning, and the control of temperature and humidity inside, etc..."

The staff member said a lot, but Liang Shaoqi had only one point of interest:

"Who is Sweetie?"

"A reticulated python."

"How big is it?"

"Almost twenty."

"No, I’m not asking about its age, I’m asking about its size!"

Five minutes later, Liang Shaoqi stood in front of an enclosure that was constructed with a great deal of wild charm and for viewership, staring with eyes wide open.

The color that had just returned to his face drained away again, inch by inch.

Looking at "Sweetie" inside, Liang Shaoqi didn’t speak for a good while.

Inside was a reticulated python that was definitely over five meters, possibly even beyond six meters in length.

Liang Shaoqi: "..."

Liang Shaoqi’s voice was strained: "This... Sweetie?"

The staff member explained, "Because it has ’donut’ genetics, it was given this name when it was brought to the zoo. It has a very good temperament."

As they were talking outside, the python inside lifted its head and flicked out its tongue.

No matter if the python seemed "sweet" to others, in Liang Shaoqi’s eyes, it looked completely ferocious, with a robust physique that was intimidating!

Liang Shaoqi even wondered if the python could swallow him whole!

Moving his gaze stiffly away, Liang Shaoqi asked the staff member about the next plan, other than this one.

It couldn’t be that, besides the number, it’s just the weight; that was too extreme!

"I remember the live-streaming plan included tree pythons, ball pythons, and the like," Liang Shaoqi said.

"There was such a plan, but there were some last-minute changes."

The final version of today’s live-streaming schedule, confirmed by the preparation team, was somewhat different from the one provided before.

After confirming, the staff member said to Liang Shaoqi:

"The python segment was cancelled because it overlapped with a previous program. The tree boa segment is at the end and won’t take long."

Liang Shaoqi took the final version of the live broadcast plan.

Since it was a live broadcast, not like those edited shows broadcasted later, the consecutive live durations wouldn’t be especially long.

Therefore, segments that required physical exertion were scheduled within the first two hours, and it would be much easier afterwards.

But if Liang Shaoqi wanted to achieve his goal, he couldn’t rely on those easier segments later on.

Anyone could handle the easy parts; instead, the physically demanding segments in the beginning could more easily gain favor during the busy process and seemed more sincere.

Compared with the high "toxicity" content in the latter part of the plan, Liang Shaoqi still chose "Sweetie".

Although it was a bit larger, it was nonvenomous after all. His fear of venomous snakes was greater. Moreover, the staff had said that this reticulated python named "Sweetie" had a relatively gentle nature, and with Feng Yi, the expert, leading the way, all he needed to do was to contribute a bit of muscle work.

He could do it!

"Let’s go with this one," said Liang Shaoqi.

"Alright, I’ll just let the live broadcast team know to have an extra person at the back to lift when we move it later. Originally, the zoo staff were arranged to do it, but since Shaoqi has made his choice, you’ll go in."

Liang Shaoqi replied with calm on his face, "Hmm."

He didn’t want to say much more, nor did he want to look inside the holding box. He was afraid he might change his mind!

As for Feng Yi, he had already checked over the cobras in this room, and there weren’t many with shedding problems. He had helped them all.

Finally, the two left the room under a "salute" from a group of cobras.

Teacher Liu, who was teaming up with Feng Yi, sighed in relief.

Though Teacher Liu had heard of Feng Yi’s expertise before, only today did he truly realize how skilled he really was!

So many venomous cobras seemed like harmless foxtails in front of Feng Yi, posing no threat at all.

The first segment ended, and they took a short break to discuss the next one.

During the break, the live broadcast team informed Feng Yi that when "Sweetie" was being moved out of the enclosure, Liang Shaoqi would be involved in the lifting.

Feng Yi wasn’t surprised; after the staff told him, he glanced over just as Liang Shaoqi looked his way.

Feng Yi waved a greeting with his hand.

Liang Shaoqi returned the greeting but didn’t get up to come over.

It wasn’t posed arrogance or pretentiousness; he was still psyching himself up for it.

Liang Shaoqi: I’m sacrificing too much!

However, no matter how much mental preparation he did, once he actually faced the task of shouldering a python with tough determination, the shock from the depths of his soul far exceeded any preconceived notions of psychological preparation.

Feng Yi managed the python as if he were shuffling a blanket, dragging it out from the inside.

"I’ll carry the front, you’re responsible for the back segment, any problems?" Feng Yi asked.

"No... no problem," Liang Shaoqi managed to say, straining.

The weight, heavier than expected, pressed on his shoulders, the scales’ touch was cool, and his fingers could feel the strength contained in the muscles beneath those scales.

This python, could it easily strangle him?

Even though Feng Yi was carrying most of the weight at the front, and even though there was no need to worry about the python turning to bite him, knowing full well that his life wasn’t in danger, he couldn’t help but feel his legs go weak.

If it wasn’t for Feng Yi bearing most of the weight, given Liang Shaoqi’s current state of mind, he might have been crushed to the ground by "Sweetie".

Liang Shaoqi internally: Ahhhh!

This "girl" had already caused him a tremendous psychological shadow!

He felt that from now on, the word "girl" would bring to mind unpleasant associations!
