Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Magic Slippers (700 Subscription Bonus)
With short videos trending, many tourists were simultaneously strolling through the park and filming.
Many captured the astonishing sight of the wolf pack chorus.
One video, that had the best perspective from an observation tower titled "Have You Ever Heard a Real Wolf Pack Chorus?" went viral quickly! Both the play count and likes skyrocketed.
"#LinhaiZoo#wolf exhibit. Visited the zoo today and was fortunate to hear the wolf pack chorus, truly beautiful."
Netizens clicked into it, seeing several wolves running down a hillside under the sun, their fur glistening, with priceless confidence and ease, scarcely believable! Were these the wolves they remembered?
Having listened to the wolf chorus, they were deeply moved, and lively discussions erupted in the comments below the video.
Moonlight Heating Heart: "Such a beautiful wolf exhibit! Such exquisite wolves!"
Monk of Science: "The allure of the wild! Listening to this makes my blood boil, I want to join in and howl too!"
Explosion Gang x Flawless Flower: "Damn, this is the first time I've seen such jubilant wolves in a zoo! These wolves are too lucky."
Seedless Watermelon: "Hehe, I was lucky to visit today, saw a wolf swimming in water, and two wolves playing by a waterfall! The wolves' living environment is really great. I recommend everyone to go and check it out, especially near the waterfall, where you can observe the wolf pack up close."
"I previously saw zoos abroad that were so advanced, mimicking natural environments with grass and trees, and I was so envious. I wondered when we could have such zoos in our country, no longer with concrete cages. Never thought I'd see such beautiful zoo designs here too! So happy, I absolutely adore this wolf exhibit, thumbs up for the zoo!"
"Linhai Zoo is indeed great, I've taken my child there three times already. My son is five this year and especially likes the red pandas and tigers there; each visit, he can watch them for ages and says he wants to be a zoologist when he grows up."
"Haha, every kid has a dream of becoming a scientist. That's a beautiful wish; I hope your child's dream comes true!"
"/Crying/Crying/Crying, I was there when the wolf pack sang too! But, I was in the hallway and missed the chorus outside! So frustrated, I missed the best part. I can only wait for next time to go, to see if I get the chance again."
"Great, planning to go there with my girlfriend during the holiday!"
"When I was a child living in the countryside, occasionally, we could hear the distant howl of wolves. My grandma would scare me, saying if children ran around outside after dark, they'd be carried away by wolves, instilling a fear of wolves in me ever since childhood.
Later, as I lived and worked in the city, I'd occasionally go back to the countryside but never heard a wolf's howl again. Grandma said those wolves might have gone somewhere else, and I felt a faint sense of loss. Grandma has since passed away.
Today, hearing the chorus of wolves again, I don't know why, but as I listened, I started crying; their singing truly feels like it can cleanse the soul."
"I totally get it! I was very moved after listening too."
...
Fang Ye naturally needed to pay extra attention to the new wolves that had just started to assimilate with the pack.
In the afternoon, he strolled through the wolf exhibit again, checking on the pack, things were going fairly well.
The feedback from the visitors was very positive. While chatting with visitors, he casually inquired about their impressions, and everyone expressed their love for the wolf exhibit. If it were possible to rate the exhibit like a game, it would surely have "overwhelmingly positive" reviews.
Just as he sat back down in the office, he heard a notification.
"Ding! Mission [Zoo Advance 4] completed!"
Fang Ye was momentarily puzzled, what was this mission about, it's been so long since he had almost forgotten it.
But he quickly remembered, this mission seemed to be about the visitors collectively covering a certain distance within the exhibit area, with the reward being two cartoon animal tour carts.
But how would this tour cart reward be distributed? Plushies could be directly taken out of the system space, would the tour cart just magically appear in the office when collecting the reward?
After inquiring with the system, it turns out it's the same as with the engineering vehicles; they would openly drive in through the main gate.
Alright, he had overthought it.
With a thought: "Claim reward!"
```
Then a new task appeared, but it wasn't the expected "Attack on Zoos 5" — instead, it was something Fang Ye had never imagined.
"Ding, a new task has been published!"
[
Task: Sketching Trip
Description: As the zoo director, you can't just keep your head down and study, working in isolation — inspiration will run out one day. Once the inspiration is gone, you won't be able to design heartwarming exhibits anymore. Go out and see the beauty of the world!
Requirement: Go play anywhere you want, cat cafés, other zoos, the countryside, Africa, the Arctic...
Reward: Based on the experience of the outing
]
Fang Ye scratched his head, feeling that the system's task made a lot of sense!
Since coming to the zoo, it seemed he had not really gone out to play much. The few times he did go out were just to the farmers market to buy vegetables.
But life in the zoo was so interesting: designing the zoo, watching the adorable animals, playing with the red pandas, flirting with the foxes, running and swimming with the tigers, seeing the look of amazement's and delight on visitors' faces, and educating the visitors.
Just doing these things made each day fulfilling and happy.
He rubbed his chin and curiously asked, "Can I go play in an Internet café?"
The system: "... It is recommended that the host visit places related to natural animal environments."
Fang Ye probed, "But what if I really want to play in an Internet café?"
"You can, but the reward might be less."
"Alright then."
Fang Ye raised his eyebrows. He didn't actually want to play in an Internet café; he was simply teasing the system, but the system's response was still so indifferent. Not fun at all.
He glanced at the system panel. It had been a while since he last drew a prize, and his popularity value was now at 50w.
Just right for a thrilling draw today!
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained an Asian Forest Tortoise plushie!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a Macaw plushie!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a medium-sized Red Fox plushie!"
This plushie was clearly modeled after Xiaoqiao — not only was its fur color distinctive, but its pose was also vivid and easy to recognize. It held its head high with an expression that said it was annoyed and didn't want to bother with you.
Fang Ye liked it very much and took the plushie out of his space and placed it on an empty shelf.
He thought to himself, "Once I move my office, I feel like I could set up a few display cabinets specifically for these cute animal plushies, just like collecting figures. I could also give a few to each staff member. Whether they place them in the office, decorate their dorms, or give them to family as gifts, it would be nice."
A bunch of plushies and badges were drawn.
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the 'Magic Slippers'!"
"Eh?" Fang Ye felt a pleasant surprise, it was equipment!
It had been a long time since he last drew equipment, and he thought the Zookeeper Suit was all he could get.
