In the Leopard Garden, two clouded leopard cubs, looking like fluffy balls of fur, were sprawled on their backs with their big bellies exposed, taking an afternoon nap.
Nearby, the leopard Li Bao was also lounging lazily on a giant cat climbing frame.
Despite this leisurely scene, there was no decrease in the number of visitors outside the iron cage.
Evidently, this group of one adult and two cubs had successfully replaced the first-generation chimpanzee Shidi Fu as the main attraction.
Just as visitors were enthusiastically taking photos of the animals in the cage, Yang Lin's voice suddenly came from nearby.
"Attention, dear visitors! To show our appreciation for your support of our zoo, we're organizing a special drawing activity."
"Those interested can come to me to get brushes, paint, and paper."
Upon hearing Yang Lin's announcement, the visitors' interest was immediately piqued.
"Isn't this a zoo? Why are they holding a drawing competition?"
"What's the theme for drawing?"
"Are there any prizes, Director?"
Seeing that everyone's attention had been captured, Yang Lin continued:
"As for prizes, how about my autographed photo?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in jeers.
"Pfft, who wants your autographed photo?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't take it even if you paid me."
"Are there any better rewards?"
"It's no fun without proper prizes."
...
"Alright, alright, how about this - the top five winners can spend five minutes petting the two little ones."
"And the top ten can enter the cage to take photos with the cubs."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the crowd became excited.
"Now that's more like it!"
"Can we really pet those two little ones up close?"
"Oh my god, I've been dying for this chance!"
"Sign me up!"
"I want to take photos with the cubs!"
"That first place is mine, don't anyone try to compete with me!"
The crowd's enthusiasm continued to build.
"Well then, let me lead you to the competition venue."
As Yang Lin walked towards the back of the tiger enclosure, the eager participants and spectators quickly followed.
Soon, they were led to the location of the pig pen.
When everyone saw the large black pig in the pen, their faces immediately showed intense confusion.
"Director, is today's drawing theme about drawing this pig?"
"Drawing a pig is easy - just a body, a mouth, four legs, and a curly tail."
"It can't be that simple, maybe this pig is actually the prize for the winner."
"What, we get to win this pig?"
"Wait, Director, are you asking us to slaughter the pig?"
...
Looking at the crowd's wild guesses, Yang Lin decided not to keep them in suspense any longer and announced loudly:
"Of course you're not drawing the pig, and you're definitely not slaughtering it."
"In fact, this pig is also a contestant in today's competition."
As soon as Yang Lin said this, the crowd erupted in chaos.
"What! Director, are you kidding? You want us to compete against this fat pig?"
"Isn't this insulting? Putting us in the same category as a pig?"
"Come on, how could a pig possibly draw?"
"If a pig can draw, I might as well climb trees."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"If I lose to a pig, it would prove my dad right - that I'm worse than a pig."
"Hold on, we already know the Director's border collie is better than us, and if this pig surpasses us too, we wouldn't just be worse than a pig, we'd be worse than both pigs and dogs."
"Although it's somewhat insulting, I still find it interesting."
"I want to see how this pig actually draws."
...
Seeing that nobody believed a pig could draw, Yang Lin didn't waste time arguing. He directly handed brushes and paint to the black pig in the pen.
"Come on! Li Fugui, show our esteemed audience your artistic skills."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the black pig, temporarily named Li Fugui, immediately picked up a brush with its mouth and ran to the wall.
The next second, to the visitors' astonishment, it dipped the brush in the palette of colors.
After getting paint on the brush, it began making deliberate strokes on the wall.
The crowd had expected random scribbles, but as the pig continued painting, their expressions changed.
From their perspective, Li Fugui was actually painting a large, beautiful lotus flower.
Both the colors and form were impeccable - while not masterpiece level, it certainly surpassed many beginners.
Seeing this, the previously skeptical visitors exchanged bewildered looks.
When Li Fugui finished the painting, they all fell silent.
The louder they had protested earlier, the more embarrassed they felt now.
"Well, how's that? Pretty good, right? I assume no one still thinks pigs can't paint?"
Yang Lin's face showed obvious satisfaction at their dumbfounded expressions.
After several seconds of silence, one visitor holding a brush stepped forward with a bitter smile.
"Director, is it too late to withdraw from the competition?"
"Yeah, I think I'll pass. If I actually lose to a pig, where would I hide my face?"
"It's not even a question of 'if' - I honestly can't paint as well as this pig."
Following this person's lead, other registered participants began withdrawing from the competition.
In their words, they couldn't risk the embarrassment.
Yang Lin maintained an indifferent attitude toward their withdrawals.
"Anyone else want to withdraw? If not, we'll start the competition."
"As for the subject matter, let's paint the lake and scenery over there."
Hearing this, the remaining contestants who insisted on competing prepared themselves.
Meanwhile, Yang Lin took the opportunity to open the West Rainbow Zoo's official livestream.
The moment his stream went live, numerous followers flooded into the channel.
"Hello, Director! What made you start streaming today? Is there something new at the zoo?"
"Director, can we get some zoo merchandise? I want plush toys of the two clouded leopard cubs."
"Do you have life-sized Siberian tiger plushies?"
"What about the yellow cart? Are there still any livestreams without yellow carts these days?"
Just as netizens were wondering about Yang Lin's purpose for streaming, the camera suddenly turned to the visitors preparing to paint.
As viewers were about to complain about the boring content, the camera swiftly panned again, revealing a large black pig holding a brush in its mouth.
The online viewers' expressions of surprise matched those of the on-site visitors perfectly.
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
