Hundreds of monkeys of different species swarmed behind the Yunnan golden monkey.
The scene was comparable to a street gang showdown.
Just when everyone thought Yang Lin would be the next target of attack, the leading Yunnan golden monkey suddenly stopped.
The one who had been posturing like a monkey king suddenly bent its waist, and in the next second, ran up to Yang Lin like an eager puppy.
Before anyone could react, it started massaging Yang Lin's legs, its expression as fawning as a human's.
Seeing this scene, it took several seconds for everyone in the office to come back to their senses.
"Holy crap, this monkey's become sentient! Does it know Yang Lin's position as the zoo director?"
"Goodness, what happened to the supposedly untameable monkey king? How did it turn into such a bootlicker?"
"Does it somehow know it's going to West Rainbow Zoo, so it's trying to get on his good side early?"
...
While everyone was still amazed, Li Kong, the fawning Yunnan golden monkey, spoke to Yang Lin:
"Boss, how did I do? These guys are all my underlings now."
"What's our next move?"
Hearing Li Kong's words, Yang Lin thought for a moment before responding seriously:
"Well done. When you come with me to the new zoo, you'll keep your position as monkey king, with three banana meals a day!"
"As for now, lead your brothers and follow me for a bit."
"You got it!"
As they spoke, Yang Lin led Li Kong into the city zoo.
The hundreds of monkeys followed closely behind, looking every bit like a zoo mafia.
Soon, Yang Lin had taken the group of monkeys on a complete tour of the zoo.
It was then that Yang Lin realized just how vast the difference was between his West Rainbow Zoo and the city zoo - it was like comparing a wooden cabin to a mansion.
Not only were the facilities worlds apart, but the layout planning was far superior, not to mention the diversity of animals.
However, the more he saw, the more excited Yang Lin became.
"Those two little raccoon dogs can be taken back and housed with the two lynxes to make a cute animals pavilion."
"The black cranes and kangaroos need to come too."
"Giraffes mainly eat leaves which won't cost much, plus we can sell leaves to visitors - ten yuan per leaf. I'm such a business genius."
"Skip the pandas though, they're too high-maintenance and need a special pavilion, too costly..."
After his calculations, he quickly had his targets in mind.
Including the monkeys, he had selected 150 animals in total, covering reptiles, mammals, flying creatures, large herbivores, and other common animal categories.
These animals would essentially fill all the species gaps at West Rainbow Zoo.
He even specifically chose a three-year-old male Siberian tiger cub as a potential mate for Li Hua, though whether she would accept this young tiger was not his concern.
Seeing that the animal selection was nearly complete, the next step was waiting for the special transport vehicles to deliver these animals to West Rainbow Zoo.
This wait lasted five days, during which Yang Lin wasn't idle. After closing the park, he brought in construction teams to renovate and transform various facilities.
As for the materials used, they were all salvaged from the city zoo.
"Yes, yes, tear down that old gate over there and install this new one."
"Replace all the signage here with new ones too."
In the park, Yang Lin, wearing a safety helmet, was directing workers like a construction foreman.
After five days of initial renovations, while West Rainbow Zoo hadn't undergone a complete transformation, it was significantly improved compared to before.
Roads, buildings, and even the animals' living environments had all seen major improvements.
Just as Yang Lin was satisfactorily observing the construction progress, Chen Kexin, wearing a brand new zoo uniform, came running over.
"Cousin, I've posted all the announcements you asked for. Are you sure we're reopening tomorrow?"
Hearing Chen Kexin's question, Yang Lin replied without hesitation:
"Of course I'm sure. Do you know how much money we're losing being closed for five days?"
"Besides, the new animals are arriving tomorrow, and I'm planning a grand entrance ceremony for them."
"An entrance ceremony? Are you sure about this, cousin?" Chen Kexin asked puzzledly.
"Animals need ceremonial occasions too. They're going to be part of West Rainbow Zoo from now on, so we need to give them a good first impression."
"I've already planned everything out, don't worry about it. Just make sure to post the content I gave you earlier."
"Oh, and here's a promotional video - post this too."
As he spoke, Yang Lin suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled out a USB drive to hand to Chen Kexin.
"We have a promotional video? I didn't know about this."
"Of course we do. We're now the only zoo in all of Ningnan City, so everything needs to be more professional."
"Hurry along now, I'm sure the visitors are missing us."
"Hey, master over there, don't lay the cement so thick, what a waste..."
Looking at the USB drive in her hand, Chen Kexin was filled with curiosity.
With this curiosity, she quickly plugged the USB drive into the office computer.
A video immediately appeared before her eyes.
When she played the video, an extremely simple opening animation appeared on the screen.
It was obvious that Yang Lin must have edited this himself to save money.
At this point, Chen Kexin seriously doubted the quality of the upcoming video.
However, the following footage instantly left her stunned.
After the opening animation, a majestic golden eagle soared across the sky, and the previously straight camera angle suddenly shifted to an aerial view.
The entire West Rainbow Zoo was visible in panorama, then the camera made a sharp descent, moving from the sky to the gorilla enclosure.
At this moment, Li Wei in the gorilla enclosure seemed to sense the camera's arrival, somehow produced a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from nowhere, put them on, and blew a smoke ring at the camera.
Before the smoke ring could dissipate, the camera moved to the tiger enclosure, where Li Hua also sensed the camera's presence and jumped to the highest point of her enclosure, performing a mighty tiger's roar.
After the tiger enclosure came the leopard enclosure, wolf enclosure, crocodile pool, and lion enclosure.
The animals in the footage were sometimes elegant, sometimes comedic, sometimes playful, sometimes majestic.
Each animal showcased their most distinctive characteristics for the camera.
Though brief, it was breathtaking, and the ultra-long single take combined with unique camera angles created an immersive experience.
Even after the video finished playing, Chen Kexin hadn't quite recovered from her amazement.
She could already imagine how netizens would react when this promotional video was uploaded online.
Without further hesitation, she uploaded the video to West Rainbow Zoo's official accounts on various platforms.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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.
