"Brother-in-law, is this the zoo your uncle left for you?"
"It looks much better than I imagined, and I heard it's become an internet-famous zoo now."
As soon as they entered the park, Chen Kexin's face lit up with excitement.
"Where are the other employees? I'd like to meet my new colleagues."
Hearing Chen Kexin's eager words, Yang Lin's face showed a trace of embarrassment.
"Didn't you just see the other employees?"
"Huh? Do you mean those few guard dogs?"
"Yes! Our zoo currently has only three positions: a director, a ticket seller, and a head of security. You're now the ticket seller and financial clerk of West Rainbow Zoo."
At this point, Yang Lin's face became a bit more serious.
Chen Kexin's eyes rolled mischievously.
"So I have to double as a financial clerk? That deserves extra pay. And I'm your cousin, so that should mean even more money. I won't ask for much, just an extra 1000 yuan per month."
"1000! Do you know what the average salary for new graduates in Ningnan is? It's at most 3000 yuan. I'm giving you 4000 because you're my cousin."
Yang Lin immediately refused sternly.
"Of course, I'm not that stingy. I'll give you an additional 800 yuan performance bonus. As long as you do your job well, you can get the full amount."
"Deal!"
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Chen Kexin agreed promptly.
"Very well, now that you've agreed, you're officially an employee of West Rainbow Zoo."
"Come on, let me treat you to the staff meal!"
With a wave of his hand, Yang Lin led Chen Kexin to his management office.
Soon, a large bowl of steaming instant noodles was placed on the table.
Looking at the full bowl of instant noodles in front of her, Chen Kexin, who had been full of expectations, was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Brother, what kind of animal eats instant noodles?"
"Who said this was for the animals? This is for us to eat."
As he spoke, Yang Lin served himself a bowl and started eating heartily.
By the time the cousins finished their makeshift breakfast, it was already eight o'clock.
The number of visitors outside the zoo gates was growing, even forming a long queue.
Despite this, those visitors outside the gates didn't seem impatient at all. Instead, they were eagerly watching the morning training of the "Woof Woof Squad" through the fence.
Every time Li Goudan led the pack of dogs to complete a training exercise, the visitors outside would burst into laughter.
Occasionally, there would be applause and cheers.
"It's good we came early. I didn't expect this zoo to have a hidden show."
"Hilarious! Who knows if this is really the zoo's security training or a deliberately arranged animal performance."
"You know, this is the first time I've seen dogs in a zoo."
"What do you mean animals? They're clearly zoo employees."
"I bet they get paid in dozens of pounds of dog food per month."
"Move aside, you're blocking my shot."
"What adorable guard dogs."
"This would definitely go viral if posted online."
"No need to speculate, it's already viral. I just saw a video of the Woof Woof Squad that already has hundreds of thousands of likes."
...
While the visitors were enthusiastically enjoying the Woof Woof Squad's training, Yang Lin brought Chen Kexin to her work station.
Li Goudan, who had been leading the training, immediately saluted when he saw Yang Lin approaching.
"Boss, the Woof Woof Squad has completed all morning training exercises. Awaiting further instructions!"
Hearing Li Goudan's voice, Yang Lin immediately looked at the dogs behind him.
After the training, the once lazy stray dogs seemed completely transformed. They were not only energetic but also had a completely different demeanor from before.
Even Li Gousheng, the Husky who used to look silly, had lost his previous dopey appearance.
"Very good. Next, lead the Woof Woof Squad to patrol the park. If you find any problems, report to me immediately."
"Roger that!"
With a bark from Li Goudan, all members of the Woof Woof Squad quickly ran into the park under his lead.
Seeing this, the visitors outside cheered again, and even Chen Kexin's eyes sparkled with admiration.
"Brother, when did you become so good at training dogs? You're even more professional than professional dog trainers."
"And I feel like they can understand what you're saying."
"Child, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your brother possibly talk to dogs? It's just a bit of persistence and effort, that's all."
"Alright, it's time to let the visitors in. Go check the tickets."
As he spoke, Yang Lin walked to the zoo's main gate and opened the entrance.
Seeing this, the visitors outside rushed forward eagerly.
The scene immediately became lively.
Compared to the first day, the number of visitors on this second day had clearly seen another wave of growth.
Just as the park opened, hundreds of visitors had already entered.
As soon as these visitors entered the park, they headed straight for the chimpanzee enclosure on the outskirts of the park.
"Where's Shit Thrower? Where's Shit Thrower? We want to see Shit Thrower."
"Did you bring an umbrella? You dare to see Shit Thrower without one?"
"Isn't that obvious? Would I dare to get close without an umbrella? I've seen the videos online. One visitor even got a mouthful of 'Oreo'."
"Shit Thrower isn't performing well either. I saw that towards the end, he was just throwing grass."
"You don't understand. That's called 'ape poop exhaustion'. It's not a perpetual motion machine. Where would it get so much 'Oreo' from?"
"What's so great about Shit Thrower? I prefer MJ, the Space Ape."
"That's right. MJ's talents are much more impressive. That chimpanzee who only throws poop is just lame."
"You don't understand. Poop Thrower is working so hard. Do you know how much effort it takes to perfect that skill?"
"Chimp fans are so gross. The Space Ape is more civilized. Ape Brother forever!"
...
Without realizing it, the visitors had spontaneously divided into two factions.
There were supporters of Li Wei the chimpanzee, and there were fans of Li Qiang the gibbon.
Of course, in their minds, these two animals were the only noteworthy ones in this rundown zoo.
As for the other animals, after seeing some rumors online, they had no interest at all.
Just as all the visitors were crowding around the chimpanzee and monkey enclosures, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the park.
As this roar rang out, the previously chattering visitors instantly fell silent.
Although they couldn't immediately identify what kind of animal made this sound, they felt a deep-seated fear in their blood from this roar.
In an instant, everyone's hair stood on end.

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
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.
