"The golden monkeys are over there!" Qin Lan's cool voice carried a hint of surprise as she pointed to a bamboo forest not far away.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw several golden monkeys leaping nimbly among the treetops. They were covered in long, soft golden fur that shimmered in the sunlight, and their blue faces had upturned noses that made them look both noble and somewhat comical.

“It’s a golden snub-nosed monkey,” Lin Feng said. This was the first time he hadn’t added any explanation after a word, because it was simply what he knew.

The concubines watched intently; these creatures from their homeland, compared to those strange beasts, touched the softest part of their hearts that belonged to humanity.

Wang Dehai smiled and continued to lead the way: "Your Majesty, Your Majesties, please come this way. The pair of treasures are just ahead."

After walking a short distance and passing a dense bamboo grove, a large ecological park enclosed by natural rocks and reinforced glass came into view.

Inside the ecological park, there are lawns, artificial hills, ponds, and a huge perch built of logs.

What is most eye-catching are the vast expanses of fresh, tender bamboo.

"Look!" Ruan Mengtian exclaimed first, pointing excitedly at the lawn.

On the lawn, two round, black and white creatures were rolling around in an extremely lazy manner.

One of them, seemingly tired from playing, simply lay on its back with its belly rising and falling, and fell fast asleep.

The other one slowly crawled to a pile of bamboo, clumsily picked up a bamboo stalk with its chubby paws, then sat down and began to chew on it as if no one else was around.

Its endearing appearance and carefree, unassuming nature instantly captured everyone's hearts.

"Oh my god! Is this a panda? It's so...so cute!"

"Its movements are so clumsy, hahaha, look at how it eats!"

"With its striking black and white fur and round, plump body, it's like it stepped right out of a painting!"

The concubines were completely captivated, crowding around the reinforced glass, chattering and laughing incessantly.

Even the most aloof Qin Lan couldn't help but smile gently.

Lin Feng didn't speak; he just watched quietly.

His gaze pierced through the panda munching on bamboo, as if he were seeing a documentary about pandas that he had watched on a black-and-white television when he was a child long, long ago.

At that time, he never imagined that one day he would be able to possess this "treasure" so closely and exclusively in such a way.

He remembered his landlady, Liu Cuihua, and how she had cursed him, saying he would "never amount to anything in his life."

He remembered how that rich second-generation guy named Zhang Hao had mocked him as a "country bumpkin".

If they could see this scene, seeing themselves with six beautiful concubines admiring a former "national treasure" in a private garden, what would they think?

Perhaps they don't even have the right to imagine all of this.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a complex mix of nostalgia and joy rising in his heart.

He is no longer the delivery guy who was bullied by everyone; he is the emperor under this starry sky.

"What are their names?" Lin Feng asked calmly.

Wang Dehai immediately stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, we have named them 'Tuantuan' and 'Yuanyuan,' hoping they can live peacefully and reunite here."

“Tuantuan, Yuanyuan…” Lin Feng repeated, then nodded, “Good names.”

He watched for a while longer, then turned his gaze to Wang Dehai and the zookeepers behind him who seemed somewhat nervous about His Majesty's arrival.

His gaze finally settled on a middle-aged man. The man had dark skin and calloused hands, but bright eyes. He was looking at the pandas in the ecological park with a loving expression, as if he were looking at his own children.

"Are you their caretaker?" Lin Feng asked.

The middle-aged man was taken aback, then at Wang Dehai's prompting, he hurriedly knelt down: "This...this humble one, Zhang Tieniu, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"Was it you who traveled through time with this zoo?"

"Yes...yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Tieniu's voice trembled slightly. "I...I used to be a zookeeper in the protected area when I was on Blue Star, and I am familiar with their habits. This time, I inexplicably ended up here."

"You did a great job." Lin Feng's tone carried a hint of approval: "They look even healthier than they did on Earth."

"Thank you... thank you for the praise, Your Majesty! This is all I should do!" Zhang Tieniu said, his face flushed with excitement.

Lin Feng turned to Su Wanqing and said, "Reward."

Su Wanqing understood immediately and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what will be the reward?"

Lin Feng's gaze fell once again on Zhang Tieniu's simple face and his calloused hands.

“Give him ten thousand gold coins. Also grant him a mansion in the inner city of ‘Chengtian Capital’ so that he can bring his family to live there.”

These words shocked everyone present.

Wang Dehai and the other zookeepers all gasped in astonishment, looking at Lin Feng with eyes that seemed to regard him as a god.

Ten thousand gold dollars!

In today's kingdom, ten thousand gold coins is a fortune that can make anyone rise to the top in one step!

Not to mention, there's also a mansion in the inner city!

The inner city of "Chengtian Capital" was incredibly valuable, with every inch of land worth its weight in gold. Its inhabitants were the wealthy and powerful, making it the core area of ​​power. The value of a single residence there was immeasurable!

Zhang Tieniu was completely stunned. He knelt on the ground, his mind blank, unable to believe his ears.

He was just doing what a zookeeper should do, and he never expected such a... incredible, life-changing reward.

"What, you don't want it?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow when he saw that he didn't react.

"No, no, no! I want it! I want it!"

Zhang Tieniu suddenly snapped out of his daze and began to frantically kowtow to Lin Feng, shouting incoherently, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your divine grace! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your divine grace! This humble one... this humble one is willing to raise pandas for Your Majesty for the rest of my life! No! To raise cattle and horses for you! I would gladly give my life!"

His forehead quickly bled, but his face was filled with unparalleled joy and excitement.

Lin Feng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to kowtow anymore.

For him now, ten thousand gold coins and a mansion are nothing but a drop in the ocean, something he can decide with a word.

But this one sentence is enough to change the fate of an ordinary person, or even an entire family.

This power to do whatever he wanted and turn lead into gold made him feel extremely comfortable.

The concubines, witnessing this scene, looked at Lin Feng with eyes filled with admiration and affection.

Their men not only possess supreme power, but also have a clear sense of right and wrong in rewarding and punishing. A single word can decide life and death, and a single word can create wealth and status.

After dealing with this matter, Lin Feng's initial novelty towards the panda gradually faded. He had already obtained the nostalgia and satisfaction he craved.

“Let’s go.” He turned and walked back the way he came. “We had a good time today, so let’s hold the banquet at the ‘Moon-Viewing Terrace’. Have the imperial kitchen prepare some… dishes with a Blue Star flavor.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Wanqing immediately made the arrangements.

The crowd surrounded Lin Feng as he ascended the floating jade platform and slowly departed.

Zhang Tieniu, still ecstatic, was left behind, along with a group of colleagues who cast envious and jealous glances at him.

Wang Dehai stepped forward, patted Zhang Tieniu on the shoulder, and said with deep emotion, "Tieniu, you... this is an immense blessing! His Majesty's reward is more than a million times more than what you would earn raising pandas for a lifetime! Get up, from now on, you will be a wealthy man in our 'Chengtian Capital'!"

Zhang Tieniu stood up shakily, glanced back at the two pandas still leisurely munching on bamboo, and hot tears streamed down his face.
