But after unlocking, Su Zhou discovered that the system had secretly upgraded again without her knowledge. Each upgrade brought many new features, which were convenient, but looking at the gold coins deducted from her account... Su Zhou was speechless. Sure enough, as soon as they had funds, they thought of secretly upgrading themselves.

Well, upgrading is a good thing, after all, it's for the long-term development of the zoo.

Thinking this, Su Zhou sat down at the desk. The office, decorated in a forest theme, perfectly embodied the word "comfort." In the stillness of the deep winter, the rustling of the fireplace was like natural white noise. The golden eagle had probably flown off somewhere again. Su Zhou lowered her eyes and, out of the corner of her eye, she vaguely noticed a huge black shadow that had suddenly disappeared from her sight.

She was comfortably nestled on the sofa. She was probably the only person in the entire office building at the moment. All the employees were busy with the work after the New Year's Day holiday. After the New Year's Day holiday, the crowds dispersed, but people who missed the holiday would still come to the zoo because of the live broadcasts or videos taken by other tourists that were circulating online.

To be honest, zoos are currently quite popular online.

Wanling Zoo is not just a simple zoo; even among plant enthusiasts, it is an absolute holy site.

The current popularity of zoos is something that even established zoos can't quite match. Aside from panda breeding bases and some internet-famous cats and dogs, other zoos are far behind. There are countless memes about Ahei alone.

Su Zhou also felt increasingly emotional, realizing that in times of economic downturn, entertainment is indeed more prosperous, at least the zoo has a considerable number of visitors every day.

"Let me see what new features the zoo has added," Su Zhou muttered to herself, adjusting to a more comfortable position by placing a mint green cushion behind her and propping the tablet up on the table.

The updated version of Zoo of Souls 3.0 is as follows:

1. Some patches have been fixed, and the app may occasionally lag.

2. Added honorary titles and a new event interface.

3. Updated store content.

4. Added holographic projection function.

The zoo's functions seem even more innovative than before. Su Zhou took a deep breath and clicked on the hotel's interface. The hotel has many different exterior designs. In addition, any building can be customized. For example, in the chimpanzee enclosure, you can choose to replace the windows with other types, such as floor-to-ceiling windows, blinds, etc. Any internal device can also be customized.

However, a higher degree of freedom is not necessarily a good thing for someone like Su Zhou who is clumsy with his hands.

Previously, Su Zhou was a player of many games with a high degree of freedom. Just the character creation function in the game interface was enough to give Su Zhou a headache. She was indeed a bit clumsy with her hands. Although her face was similar to Nuwa's graduation project on creating humans, when it came to her own Nuwa creating her own game character's face, she was not good at it. In the end, she basically bought other people's face codes online to be lazy.

Similarly, Su Zhou has no intention of changing any of the buildings in the zoo; it's enough to follow the system's original settings.

The system has good aesthetic sense; Su Zhou doesn't need to add anything unnecessary.

It was a perfect opportunity to try out the new feature. Among all the various hotels, Su Zhou chose one that best suited her aesthetic and clicked on the holographic projection.

This time, the projection function was different from before; it projected directly into reality. Su Zhou stared at it for three seconds, then suddenly realized something, rushed to the window, and looked outside. What had been a primeval forest had transformed into a towering hotel. The hotel looked magnificent and grand, far surpassing any five-star hotel Su Zhou had ever stayed in around the world. In addition, the hotel's exterior was aesthetically futuristic, full of technological feel while retaining a dreamlike quality that complemented the other buildings in the zoo.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the transparency was preserved, people might mistake the building in front of them for a real one.

Su Zhou's forehead veins twitched slightly, and a faint smile slowly curved her pink lips: "System, this function of yours is simply amazing."

The system proudly puffed out its chest: "See? See? I told you binding with me would be incredibly beneficial, because I'm such a pure and unpretentious system! This system can be updated many times in the future, with new content each time. Rest assured, host, this system is dedicated to helping you become rich and reach the pinnacle of life."

As the system's claims became increasingly outrageous, Su Zhou didn't really care about getting rich; what mattered was that she had genuinely fallen in love with the thrill of playing games in the real world.

In her own zoo, Su Zhou is the only and absolute deity.

After looking at all the hotel buildings one by one, Su Zhou chose the hotel that best matched the overall style of the zoo and clicked to unlock it.

Earning gold coins is a long-term endeavor. With the increasing number of buildings and animals in the zoo, the operating costs alone are a considerable expense. Fortunately, by inheriting the zoo, Su Zhou can start her business with zero cost, and the profits are actually quite substantial. Whenever Su Zhou wants, she can withdraw the enormous amount of gold coins to her account at any time, but she herself is not short of money at all.

There's no way around it, Su Yunhai is just too good at making money.

My dad's restaurant business has expanded all over the world, even reaching the foot of a snow-capped mountain. It's quite a dream come true.

After finishing the cleanup, Su Zhou realized that too much construction had been going on at the zoo these past few days. She just needed to patiently wait for the Wanling construction team to arrive and then inspect the finished product at the zoo.

A week later, Su Zhou received a call from the headquarters of "Beijing Time".

"Ms. Su, do you have time to give us an interview now?"

Hearing the soft and melodious female voice on the other end of the phone, it was indeed a familiar sound. Just hearing that voice made Su Zhou feel that it would be time to eat in the next second.

"Beijing Time" has been a program on Beijing Television for over twenty years, with several hosts changing, yet the show remains a staple. It airs every evening at 7 PM, a time when many people eat dinner. Older generations traditionally eat their meals during "Beijing Time," enjoying everything from everyday life to the latest news. Su Zhou herself doesn't particularly enjoy this traditional program, but her elders do, and Su Zhou simply knows that hearing the female host's voice means it's time to eat.

She paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, yes, I have time now... Um, our zoo doesn't have any shuttle buses yet, so you might have to come up by yourself."

The host on the other end of the phone readily replied, "No problem, it's our honor to interview your zoo. Okay, since you have time, we'll drive over now."

After hanging up the phone, Su Zhou didn't feel anything was wrong.

My dad does indeed send a car when entertaining important clients. The zoo doesn't have a sightseeing cable car, nor does it have a car specifically for picking up other clients, let alone a car for its staff.
