Speaking of which, someone once uploaded a video about Ahei to YouTube, which garnered a million views within two days. Ahei is quite famous on foreign platforms, but Su Zhou hasn't considered opening an international channel yet.

Currently, the majority of visitors to the zoo are Chinese.

Ahei needs no introduction; his status at Wanning Zoo is beyond question. If all the animals were considered children, Ahei would undoubtedly be the eldest.

It directly led the zoo to take off.

A group of tourists surrounded Ahei in circles, their eyes filled with curiosity.

When these foreign tourists came in, Ahei was sitting on the ground building Lego toys. Its hands looked furry, covered with a layer of black fuzz, and its fingers were very rough. Authentic Lego sets are extremely expensive even when secondhand online, and many Lego players felt uneasy when they saw them.

As skyscrapers rise higher and higher, many people worry that they might suddenly collapse.

Has a chimpanzee who has lived in a zoo since childhood ever been inside a high-rise building?

The answer is of course no.

Ahei had never seen skyscrapers before, but it loved watching TV and movies, and even had its own aesthetic sense. Just yesterday, Ahei watched a movie called King Kong, and seeing the skyscrapers and transparent lights in it, it immediately started building them today.

"Go Ahei! Go Ahei! We are all your die-hard fans. Remember, when Lego collapses, there will be no one behind you."

It has to be said that Ahei's fans are basically all abstract thinkers, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Ahei-related memes. But putting that aside, the nervousness on their faces is definitely not fake.

Foreign tourists, taking advantage of their height, can easily see what Ahei is doing, even if they are standing on the outside.

A massive chimpanzee, its light brown eyes gleaming with intelligence, is building a skyscraper out of Lego that's already over ten stories high.

To be fair, this Lego building really does look quite impressive. Aside from its initial roughness, Ahei is now playing with building blocks quite well.

This action directly shocked these foreign tourists from different countries, and their pride and arrogance completely collapsed when they saw this scene.

A chimpanzee enclosure is built to be better than their living quarters. If it weren't for the fact that this is a zoo, people would mistake it for a large villa. After all, the chimpanzee enclosure does look like a villa from the outside. It's simply outrageous.

Even a small zoo has such good facilities; it seems that the media reports about China online are pure rumors.

James felt the same way. Watching Ahri build with Lego bricks, he couldn't help but grab his camera, capture the scene, and post it on X with the caption: "Can you believe it? A chimpanzee from China has actually built skyscrapers with Lego! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I might have thought it was an AI-generated video." (gif) (gif) (video) (video) (image)

He has a large following on foreign websites, and because his videos are very objective and he doesn't maliciously smear or praise a country based on subjective intentions, his fans are very loyal. This post attracted a lot of likes very quickly after it was published.

Many people directly asked in the comments: "James, where did you go?" Everything here surprised me.

James is a severe internet addict; his phone is practically glued to his hand. He also checks the messages in the background from time to time, selectively replying to some comments. Upon seeing this comment, he immediately replied: "This is China's zoo, the zoo of all living beings."

He replied to a few more comments before putting down his phone.

He had a vague premonition that choosing the Wanling Zoo as an appetizer for this trip to China was absolutely the right decision. The Wanling Zoo would definitely boost his popularity to another level. Thinking of this, he rubbed his fingers together, his pale skin flushed with excitement.

James asked a tourist nearby in broken Chinese, "I heard that this chimpanzee is very smart and can learn anything you teach it."

The tourist stared into his blue eyes and nodded, saying enthusiastically, "Ahei is really smart. He can learn anything you teach him. Do you have such intelligent chimpanzees in your country?"

After saying that, he puffed out his chest, looking quite proud. Many of these foreign tourists come to China with a bit of arrogance, but he himself is well aware that much of it stems from stereotypes created by unscrupulous media reports.

James: “…”

"No, this chimpanzee is incredibly intelligent."

This wasn't a joke. There probably aren't any chimpanzees this intelligent anywhere in the world. Seeing so many tourists interacting with Ahri, James felt a little envious.

He is a very curious person, and his family is well-off, a local small-time wealthy family, which gives him enough time and energy to travel the world and photograph the scenery and people he sees along the way.

He could play the piano, so he walked over and, with a joking tone, addressed the chimpanzee in front of him in broken Chinese: "Hello Ahei, may I teach you to play a piano piece?"

Being so close to wild animals made James a little nervous. He muttered to himself, "Why are the animals at All Souls Zoo so big? Even the chimpanzees are much bigger than I've seen in other zoos. They're like burly men."

Meeting those light brown eyes, James felt for a moment as if he were being seen through.
