"What are these monkeys doing? Why are they fighting among themselves?"
"Interesting, a new monkey king suddenly appeared."
"So monkeys can stage political coups too."
"Isn't that new monkey king the little gray Yunnan golden monkey that was always being bullied before? When did it become so brave?"
"They're fighting! They're fighting!"
In the administrator's office, several zoo staff members watched the scene with excitement.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
When they opened the office door, they found a young man standing outside with a dog.
"Oh? You're Director Yang from West Rainbow Zoo."
The people present recognized Yang Lin's identity with just one glance.
"Director Yang, please come in and have a seat. We were just talking about you."
"Yes, you're our idol now."
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Yang Lin felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, he had played a key role in the city zoo's rapid closure.
"You don't blame me, do you?"
Yang Lin asked awkwardly.
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment before showing indifferent expressions.
"Director Yang, you're overthinking it. Even without West Rainbow Zoo's appearance, the city zoo wouldn't have been doing well anyway."
"It's better now that it's closed. We'll get substantial compensation, which is absolutely fantastic."
"Yeah, before we could barely get our salaries, but now we've received several years' worth of wages at once."
"The only regret is that we can't stay with the animals anymore."
"Indeed, after spending so much time together, they're like our children."
As they spoke, the city zoo staff members' faces showed expressions of regret.
Seeing this, Yang Lin began to contemplate.
Given the current situation, West Rainbow Zoo's operations would only continue to expand.
With the increase in animal numbers, the staff numbers would naturally need to keep up.
He had originally planned to recruit people with zoo work experience from society.
Now it seemed he wouldn't need to go through that trouble at all.
Thinking this, Yang Lin immediately asked tentatively.
"Have you considered continuing this line of work at other zoos?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him simultaneously.
A hint of anticipation was clearly visible in their eyes.
"Director Yang, are you inviting us to join?"
"Is that possible?"
Seeing everyone's expectant looks, Yang Lin's face immediately broke into a smile.
"Why wouldn't it be possible? If you're willing to come, West Rainbow Zoo welcomes you anytime."
"Regarding salary and benefits, I can maintain your previous standards completely."
"Really? That would be wonderful!"
"I've been in this industry for so many years, I didn't know what else I could do if I couldn't do this anymore. Now it's all solved."
"Director Yang, I was in charge of predator care before, I can handle lions and tigers."
"I was responsible for the bird sanctuary, I know all about birds' living habits."
"I was in charge of breeding..."
"I was in charge of procurement..."
As everyone present described their previous responsibilities, Yang Lin's smile grew even broader.
He had only come to select some animals, but unexpectedly, he had also solved the staffing issue.
With these experienced employees, his West Rainbow Zoo would finally feel like a proper zoo.
He immediately reached a verbal agreement with these people.
After the city zoo completed its withdrawal process in a few days, they would report directly to West Rainbow Zoo.
Just as he was feeling delighted, he received an even bigger surprise.
"Director Nie, are you saying I can take all those facilities from the city zoo to use at West Rainbow Zoo?"
"Can they be moved? Can they be moved?"
"Can the cages be moved too? Can we take building materials directly from the venues?"
"We can't? That's too bad."
"Can the aquarium equipment be moved? I was just planning to transfer those dolphins to West Rainbow Zoo."
"I just want to give these animals a more comfortable home."
......
Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Yang Lin felt as if he had been hit by an enormous stroke of luck.
In a zoo, the most expensive things besides the animals are the equipment.
These facilities might cost more than building an entire zoo.
He had thought he would need to gradually purchase everything with his own money, but now it seemed that wouldn't be necessary at all.
The city zoo's collapse had directly provided him with everything he needed.
Animals, staff, equipment.
Thanks to nature's bounty.
Just as Yang Lin was marveling at his incredible luck, everyone in the office turned their attention to the surveillance footage.
In the footage, the previous Yunnan golden monkey had successfully defeated the old monkey king.
As the old monkey king fell, the monkey troop immediately submitted to this golden monkey.
However, before they could react to this turn of events, they witnessed a scene that terrified them.
Under the leadership of this new golden monkey king, hundreds of monkeys surged toward their location in a massive wave, all looking aggressive.
"Oh no, what do these monkeys want to do? They're not planning to finish us off, are they?"
"Great, now we're in trouble ourselves."
"Should we call the police?"
"What police? We have an animal police right here."
Everyone simultaneously turned their gaze to Li Goudan, who was crouching beside Yang Lin.
Being stared at like this, Li Goudan quickly pulled back his tongue and puffed out his chest, as if saying 'I'm here if there's any problem.'
However, to their surprise, when learning about the monkey troop's renewed riot, Yang Lin showed no panic at all.
The next second, under the watchful eyes of all the employees, he opened the office door and walked straight outside.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Hundreds of monkeys in a riot state were no joke.
"It's dangerous, Director Yang!"
"Come back inside! Let's call the police and wait for them to handle this!"
"Don't be rash!"
In the entire zoo, if you're talking about threats, even lions and tigers might not compare to a group of rioting monkeys.
Just as everyone was strongly advising against it, one monkey after another, led by the golden monkey king, appeared in everyone's view.
With their current momentum, even lions and tigers would have to back off.
Everyone could already imagine the scene of Yang Lin being beaten up by the monkey troop.
However, what they never expected was that when the golden monkey king was about ten meters away from Yang Lin, it suddenly stopped.
The next second, it did something that made everyone's jaws drop.
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?! ...

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
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.
