There was no time to find the fire department and borrow a low-noise cutter.
So before he could begin, Shen Xin had to get the mother elephant accustomed to the sound of the angle grinder.
Shen Xin approached.
The mother elephant's attention was clearly fixed on Shen Xin, its eyes never leaving him.
"Easy now. I'm here to save you with this tool," Shen Xin murmured to the elephant.
Once Pan Wenhai plugged in the power strip, he flicked the switch on the angle grinder.
The noise was immense.
The mother elephant trumpeted and shuffled back uneasily.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay," Shen Xin said, looking directly at the elephant and making soothing gestures with his hands.
Strangely, Shen Xin could feel a great deal of goodwill from the mother elephant, but no affinity icon appeared above its head.
But thinking back to Yuexiao's situation, he figured this was normal.
"See? It's okay," Shen Xin said, continuing to soothe it with his voice.
