At this moment, nearly three days have passed since the start of the city mascot public vote in Ningnan City.
The final results are about to be announced.
On the day of the results announcement, Ningnan City also simultaneously announced the sports events for this special sports meeting.
As soon as the events were announced, they immediately caught the attention of a large number of onlookers.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen a sports event where humans and animals compete together."
"Is the Ningnan City official serious or just messing around?"
"The co-organizer is West Rainbow Zoo, so they must be serious, right?"
"This is interesting, humans and animals competing together, I want to sign up too."
"You can sign up if you want, the official said they opened an online registration channel, anyone who wants to can register."
"Wow, you really can register, I just signed up for the 3000 meters."
"What I'm concerned about isn't what events we can register for, but what events the animals will participate in."
"Exactly, what if they send a cheetah for the sprint, or an elephant for weightlifting, then what's the point?"
"Not necessarily, although animals have innate advantages in certain areas, they can't receive formal training like humans, so humans aren't necessarily guaranteed to lose."
"That's right, and for some events like archery, table tennis, or basketball, how could animals possibly be a match for humans?"
"Never mind, I'll sign up first, I think it's quite interesting."
"Me too, this time I'm going to wrestle with a tiger."
"I won't bully the animals, I'll just play a friendly game of basketball with them."
.......
With the opening of the registration channel, countless curious and excited netizens immediately participated in online registration.
Initially, it was only local netizens from Ningnan and Guangxi, but as the special sports event gained popularity, netizens from all over the country gradually joined in.
In less than an hour, all event slots were fully booked.
For such a result, Yang Lin was not at all surprised.
He could already foresee the explosive scene when the sports event officially opened in a few days.
"Kexin, have all the peripheral dolls arrived? These will not only be sold as merchandise but also serve as prizes for the athletes."
"Everything's taken care of, the last batch of dolls has just been delivered to the warehouse, it's all packed."
As she spoke, Chen Kexin proudly raised her little face.
"Good, and have the custom-made outfits for the animals been completed?"
"Almost all done, except for the clothes for those big guys, which are a bit more complicated, but the rest are ready."
"Perfect, this time we must let the audience from all over the country see the charm of our West Rainbow Zoo animals."
While the cousins discussed the details of the upcoming sports event, a zoo employee suddenly rushed into the office in a hurry.
"It's out, it's out."
"What's out, did another animal give birth?" Hearing the employee's shout, Yang Lin's first thought was that West Rainbow Zoo had welcomed a new member.
"No, the mascot voting results are out."
"Oh?"
Almost simultaneously, Yang Lin and Chen Kexin leaned over to look at the phone screen.
The next second, the official announcement from Ningnan City appeared before their eyes.
Seeing the final results, the two felt a mix of expectations and surprises.
The expected part was that the final mascot was indeed one of the two candidates, Shidifu and Li Hei.
The surprising part was that the two had only a one-vote difference.
Shidifu: 13,057,846 votes.
Li Hei: 13,057,847 votes.
Yes, the albino bear Li Hei narrowly won by one vote and was successfully elected as the city mascot of Ningnan City.
However, Yang Lin felt that this result was somewhat suspicious.
Not just him, but Shidifu's fans felt the same way.
As soon as the results were announced, netizens immediately exploded.
"No way, absolutely impossible, our whole class voted for Shidifu, how could Shidifu lose!"
"Scandal, it's definitely a scandal, I even used my 98-year-old grandfather's ID to vote for Shidifu, how could he not be elected."
"That's right, I was about to cheat and vote for Shidifu, there's no way he could lose."
"It must be the fans of that little bear who cheated and voted overnight."
"Damn, we got ambushed at the last moment."
"Shidifu didn't get elected, everyone here is responsible."
"I can testify, everyone I know voted for Shidifu, there's no way he lost."
"You're just biased against Shidifu, against my gorilla brother!"
"Is there a possibility that the people of Ningnan City stepped up."
"No way, Ningnan only has a population of eight million, how could they cast so many votes, unless they got help from Liuzhou."
"I think it must be the Ningnan City official behind the scenes, this time they owe us a reasonable explanation, we Shidifu fans won't accept it."
"??? The name of Shidifu's fan club is this? Who the hell let you name it, not allowed next time."
"Exactly, we must give us an explanation, or we won't agree."
"The Ningnan City official is really going too far, we in Taiwan really wanted a gorilla as a mascot, okay."
......
While netizens were in an uproar online, Ningnan City official soon issued a notice.
"We sincerely thank everyone for their attention to this city mascot event, and we can see your love for the animals."
"At the same time, we feel sorry for the animals who did not get elected. Considering Shidifu's final vote count, we have decided to make Shidifu the mascot of the first special sports event."
"All participants and spectators will receive a Shidifu doll, and the West Rainbow Zoo online sales channel has been opened. Anyone who participated in this vote can get a 9.8% discount on animal merchandise."
As soon as the notice was issued, the previously outraged netizens immediately calmed down.
"Oh well, it's okay, we Shidifu fans are still very magnanimous."
"That's right, and being the mascot of the sports event is also very good, I accept it."
"It seems that the Ningnan City official is very sincere this time, I'm very satisfied with the voting results (5 cents per line, delete the content in parentheses)."
"Damn, I'm both a participant and a spectator, can I get two on the day?"
"Booking tickets, booking tickets."
"I declare, Shidifu, though defeated, is still a winner! So fragrant!"
"Excuse me, is this super discount of 9.8% set by the director? I want to send him something."
.....
Thus, the mascot of Ningnan City was officially decided, and the image of a cute little bear quickly appeared on the streets and alleys of Ningnan City.
The name "Bear Market" also gradually spread, and the only ones who might not be very happy are the stock investors of Ningnan City.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
