In the afternoon, the construction team recruited by Wang Xingyue officially started work. These were not construction teams produced by the system, but these men, all of whom were older, were all experienced workers. They were very steady and quick. Su Zhou supervised the work for about twenty minutes, then drove to the nearest supermarket to buy some drinks, alcohol, and fruit to distribute to them after the day's work was completed.

Before that, Su Zhou fed Ahei some fruit.

Ahei's live stream has ended. Now, when Ahei eats, he's not as straightforward as before. Instead, he carefully uses a fork to pick up the fruit before putting it in his mouth.

The chewing sound was quite soothing. Su Zhou picked up her tablet and saw that Ahei's live stream was really effective, with high donation prices. In one live stream, he received more than 10,000 yuan in donations.

"System, does the live streaming of animals in the zoo count towards the zoo's operating figures?" Su Zhou asked earnestly, looking at the figures.

The system responded with a synthesized voice: "No, this revenue is not included in the zoo's income."

Su Zhou looked disgusted: "System, you seem to be a bit too rigid. Let me ask you, isn't Ahei an animal in the zoo? Does the income generated by the animals in the zoo count as income for the zoo? According to your definition, operating income is income generated within the zoo. So let me ask you, is Ahei in the zoo? Does Ahei generate income? System, answer me."

She was already very kind and had her own set of logic.

The system completely ignored this explanation, simply stating: "[It's not included in the calculation, but... the livestream revenue can be transferred to the host's own bank account and count as the host's own income!]"

Oh, oh, oh, what a load of crap about being cute.

Su Zhou really couldn't stand the system's sluggishness, but if she could earn this much money by livestreaming for two or three hours, it didn't seem so bad.

Ahei works so hard, so let's save this money and improve the animals' quality of life.

We can't always rely on the system's feed. What if the system malfunctions one day and stops distributing feed, rewarding us with something else? It's better to be self-sufficient.

Three days passed quickly, and the number of visitors to the zoo remained at a stable level.

Number of tourists in the past seven days: 4109

Average number of tourists over seven days: 587

Number of regular customers: 15

Weekly turnover:

Tourist sentiment: Happy (99%), Neutral (1%)

After glancing at the zoo's weekly report, Su Zhou sighed. The internet age changes very quickly, and new trends can quickly overwhelm people's interest. The number of visitors has clearly been decreasing in the past two days.

Fortunately, the zoo was successfully built, and because Ahei appears in live streams every day, it has maintained a certain level of popularity.

It's worth noting that now, if you click on the Ahei tag, you'll find a ton of related fan creations, and there are even people making Ahei MMD videos. The number of views for this related tag has reached tens of billions.

Su Zhou started a live stream using the zoo's official account.

The reason I call it an official account is that Su Zhou casually checked it out, and to her surprise, it actually got verified successfully.

"Good morning, everyone! Zhu Bo is here to show you what the chimpanzee enclosure looks like after the upgrade." Su Zhou still didn't show her face, but waved in the live stream. The camera was pointed at the zoo, and she ran all the way to the front of the zoo, picking up some trash on the ground.

There are no shops on the mountain, so tourists usually bring their own drinks. Everyone is generally well-mannered and doesn't litter. However, with so many people, it's inevitable that some people will be rude.

The little incident didn't affect Su Zhou's mood. Like other netizens, Su Zhou herself hadn't seen what the chimpanzee enclosure would look like after it was completed.

She walked to the outside of the chimpanzee enclosure. From the outside, the enclosure looked like a giant chimpanzee, sitting in a squatting position. It looked kind and gentle. Looking up at the two brown eyes of the chimpanzee enclosure, she guessed they were window-like things, probably some kind of brown glass.

"This is the exterior of our chimpanzee enclosure. What do you think? It looks pretty good, right? Our Ahei will be living here from now on."

"It's really lifelike, a very beautiful little building. Let's see what it looks like inside now?"

It's certain that buildings equipped with this system can maintain a constant temperature. When you step inside at a temperature in the thirties, you immediately feel a subtle, gentle coolness that doesn't feel abrupt at all. Some people are used to setting the temperature very low, around eighteen degrees Celsius, and the large temperature difference between the outside and inside can easily cause a cold. However, the air conditioning system is practically invisible; you can only feel the comfort once you step inside.

Su Zhou swayed the camera, looking around the chimpanzee enclosure. Considering Ahei's personality and preferences, the chimpanzee enclosure was not only large, but also fully equipped.

It has a music room, an art studio, a study, a recreation room, and so on.

While she was live streaming, a hairy hand suddenly landed on Su Zhou's shoulder.

Many comments flooded the screen in an instant.

—Holy crap, is Ahei so free? He's not locked up at all, but just freely coming and going inside the venue.

—Of course! Didn't the director say it himself? For us, loving animals is just a visit, but for Ahei, it's Ahei's home, understand?

—Is it this luxurious? As expected of the most popular character from the Wanling Zoo, her popularity is soaring. The moment Ahei appeared, the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed to 100,000.

—Mistresses, my son and I have been tricked by capital. When will we be able to live in such a luxurious villa?

“Ahei, you walk so quietly. Remember to make some noise next time.” Su Zhou patted her chest and turned to look at Ahei. “Ahei, say hello to the viewers in the live stream.”

Ahei waved his hand obediently and naturally.

This caused a constant stream of exclamations of "Holy crap!"

"Do you like your new home, Ahei?" Su Zhou held a selfie stick so Ahei could be in the picture.

[I love it... I love it so much! I can play the piano, read books, and from now on I'll be the wise one of the gorillas.]

Well, Ahei is a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), but it's nothing serious.

He's a good gorilla.

The chimpanzee enclosure has three floors. After showing it to the viewers in the live stream, even Su Zhou herself was a little envious of Ahei. The system really loves animals, but there are no fences or any protective measures. It's like people and animals are getting along naturally.

Since the zoo was upgraded today, Su Zhou made a point of being the first person to visit before the zoo even opened.

"There's more good news! Friends who like Ahei can interact with Ahei directly. Ahei is very gentle and won't hurt anyone." Su Zhou wasn't worried about Ahei hurting anyone, but she was worried that with so many people gathering together, Ahei might not have its own space and might get annoyed.

She glanced at Ahei, who was sitting on the floor watching TV.

This gorilla seems particularly picky; I've changed the channel several times, but it still hasn't calmed down.
