Upon hearing the task prompt in his mind, Yang Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"Talk about getting exactly what you wish for - a direct reward of 5 talent points and a golden talent chest."
Looking at the generous rewards offered by the system, Yang Lin quickly calmed down after his initial excitement.
"Such generous rewards mean this poaching gang must be no ordinary group - they might even be an armed organization."
"I probably can't handle this alone, though the system didn't specifically say I had to destroy them personally."
With this thought, Yang Lin's gaze turned to the golden eagle beside him.
Without question, if he wanted to find the poachers' hideout, this golden eagle was his only lead and would become his greatest asset.
Without hesitation, he immediately invested one of his newly acquired talent points into its super vision ability.
As the talent point was absorbed, a visible golden light instantly illuminated the eagle's eyes.
Simultaneously, the eagle's injuries healed instantly, and its body size increased slightly.
Yang Lin wasn't surprised by these changes - he had already discovered that when animals activated talents, they experienced improvements in both intelligence and strength, along with increased intimacy with him.
When the changes were complete, the eagle finally resembled its former status as king of the skies.
Yang Lin quickly asked, "How do you feel now?"
"I've never felt better. If I were to face those poachers now, they wouldn't stand a chance of catching me."
The golden eagle then spread its impressive wings, spanning two meters wide.
A fierce wind immediately whirled through the workshop.
Seeing this, Yang Lin's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Good, very good. From today on, you'll be called Li Shuangying. I'm Yang Lin, and you can call me Boss."
"Boss!"
"Stay here and get used to your new abilities. I'm going to find some help, and later we'll go after that poaching gang together."
After giving Li Shuangying these instructions, Yang Lin hurriedly walked out of the workshop.
When he next appeared, he was at the park's security office.
Li Goudan, dressed in a security guard uniform, was lounging casually on the floor of the security office, watching an old color TV that was playing a popular historical romance drama.
Seeing Yang Lin open the security office door, Li Goudan hastily turned off the TV, looking embarrassed.
"Boss, let me explain - I don't actually like these dramas, I just accidentally stepped on the remote control."
"Alright, alright, no need to explain. I'm not here to scold you - I have a job for you."
"A job?" At the mention of work, Li Goudan immediately perked up.
"Yes, there's a poaching gang that's come to Ningnan. They've captured many wild animals, and I'm planning to scout out their hideout. I need your help."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Li Goudan's face lit up with excitement.
"Such an exciting job? Great! I finally have a chance to show what I can do!"
"Where are they? I'll go round them up right now!"
Yang Lin hadn't expected Li Goudan to have such a strong sense of justice.
"Round them up? What are you thinking? We're just going to scout out their location."
"Taking them down isn't our job, understand?"
Worried that Li Goudan might impulsively charge into the poachers' den, Yang Lin emphasized this point several times.
Only when Li Goudan promised to follow orders did Yang Lin finally relax.
With Li Goudan's cooperation and Li Shuangying's aerial view, they should be able to find the poaching gang's hideout before long.
Even so, Yang Lin still felt somewhat uneasy.
After some thought, he opened the talent shop he hadn't accessed in a long time.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but rather that the talents available were extremely expensive.
This time, to ensure his safety, he had to invest some resources despite his reluctance.
Soon, a green talent worth 100,000 yuan appeared before him.
[Atavism (Green Talent): Activating this talent allows animals to revert to their ancestral form]
Among the various talents in the shop, this one wasn't particularly flashy, but to Yang Lin, it was worth every penny.
It's well known that modern animals have evolved over countless years to become what they are today.
Some animals, like domestic pigs evolved from wild boars, lost their fierce nature and became docile through evolution.
Others, like sharks and tigers, became increasingly powerful.
Therefore, the same atavism talent might strengthen some animals while weakening others.
So the value of this talent depended entirely on which animal it was used on.
With this in mind, Yang Lin immediately took Li Goudan to the wolf enclosure.
As soon as they entered the wolf enclosure, all the dogs inside ran obediently to the edge of their cages.
Among them, the Husky Li Gousheng appeared particularly lively, almost to the point of seeming silly.
It couldn't be helped - the reputation of Huskies as one of the three foolish sled dogs wasn't unearned.
If it had been a bit smarter initially, it wouldn't have ended up as a stray dog.
"Gousheng, come here!"
At Yang Lin's call, the silly-looking Li Gousheng immediately bounded over.
After patting its head, Yang Lin immediately infused it with the atavism talent he had just purchased from the shop.
Although Li Gousheng didn't look particularly reliable, it was the most suitable candidate for this talent in the entire zoo.
After all, when it came to bloodlines, few of the animals present could match its heritage.
As the atavism talent took effect, dramatic changes began to occur in Li Gousheng's body.
The most notable change was its size.
Originally about one meter in length as an adult Husky, Li Gousheng suddenly grew to about one and a half meters during the reversion process, with a shoulder height exceeding one meter.
Its weight conservatively estimated at around a hundred jin.
Beyond its size, its previously foolish expression instantly transformed into one filled with killing intent, with sharp, exposed fangs giving it the presence of a top predator in nature.
Combined with its thick gray and white fur, this was no longer just a dog - it had become a Siberian Plains Wolf straight from the snowy highlands.
