Mu Ling, living on a rural planet, inherited a zoo left to her by a great-aunt she had never met.
In the interstellar era, alien bea...
Chapter 52
Veterinarian Bray arrived at the Beek Zoo on Friday afternoon.
In fact, Director Mu had given him a deadline of next Monday to start work, but Dr. Bree couldn't wait any longer. After successfully resigning, he rushed to the God King Star without stopping.
The taxi drove all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top, and during the journey, Dr. Bray saw the botanical garden at the foot of the mountain.
The botanical garden was very large, with people coming and going at the entrance and the sound of cars, it looked very lively.
In contrast, the mountain road from the Botanical Garden to the Beek Zoo is sparsely populated and uninhabited.
Dr. Bray was curious, so he asked the taxi driver, "Isn't it said that Beek Zoo is very popular? Why do I see no one on the road?"
The driver, a local, took in a number of tourists and said with a smile, "There are only 2,000 tickets a day. Tourists enter the park before 9:30 in the morning, so there won't be any people here at this time. After 6:30, when the park closes, people will naturally leave."
Dr. Bray knew about the admission restrictions at Beak Zoo and asked, "But didn't any tourists leave during the visit? Few people go to the zoo for a full day, right?"
The driver glanced at Dr. Bray in the rearview mirror and said incredulously, "We worked so hard to get these tickets, who would be so foolish as to leave midway? Those tourists were so reluctant to leave even after the park closed, how could they possibly leave early?"
Dr. Bray choked. It seemed... that was the same reason...
The driver asked again, "Young man, what are you doing here? You're not a tourist at this hour."
Dr. Bray smiled and said, "I'm here to start my job."
The driver's eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you an employee of the Beek Zoo? Can I buy tickets from you? 499 each. I'll cover as many as you have."
Dr. Bray: “…”
The original price of a ticket is 299, but you bought it for 499. Okay, okay, the scalper is right next to me!
Dr. Bray stopped talking immediately. The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Beek Zoo. Dr. Bray paid and got out quickly. The driver was still a little unwilling. He leaned out of the car window and handed him a small card: "If you need a ticket, contact me. 599 is also accepted. Young man, hey young man..."
The young man ran to the ticket office in a hurry to communicate with the ticket seller.
When the ticket seller Xiao Zhao heard that this gentle and handsome man was a new veterinarian, he immediately became very enthusiastic and personally took him inside to meet the director of the zoo.
As soon as Dr. Bray walked in, he saw that the park was very lively. Tourists were gathered in three layers outside the huge glass house not far away, looking at the inside and screaming in amazement.
Dr. Bray looked over there.
Xiao Zhao smiled and introduced, "That's our animal dormitory. The war beasts are currently living in it. It's open to visitors from 3:00 to 6:30 every afternoon."
Dr. Bray smiled gently, "I saw on the Internet that the war beasts are in very good physical condition."
Xiao Zhao said proudly, "This is all thanks to our director. He's at the veterinary station right now. Please come this way."
…
The two of them arrived at the veterinary station. When they reached the door, Xiao Zhao knocked on it and called out, "Director?"
There was no sound at all.
But Xiao Zhao didn't knock again, just stood there waiting.
Dr. Bray felt strange and looked at Xiao Zhao in confusion.
Xiao Zhao lowered his voice and said, "The headmaster is teaching Yue Guang how to play games right now. We need to wait. If someone else comes in rashly, Yue Guang will be scared."
Of course, Dr. Bray had also seen Moonlight's video on Starnet. When he thought of the beautiful and majestic silver snow bear just separated from him by a thin door panel, Dr. Bray suddenly became excited.
He asked, "Has Moonlight's damage value also decreased?"
Xiao Zhao shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. The war beasts' mental evaluation data is only known by the director, Brother Xiang, and Brother Wei. Oh, and..." Xiao Zhao then whispered, "Brother Xiang and Brother Wei are veterans of our zoo and the director's most trusted founding heroes. You'll be able to see them at dinner."
Dr. Bray: “…”
Dr. Bray wanted to laugh: "Founding hero?"
Are there any founding heroes in the zoo?
Xiao Zhao nodded naturally, "Yes, they are both founding heroes. The director is the emperor. The director has three thousand beauties in his harem, and the whole mountain and plain are filled with her mistresses."
Dr. Bray: “…”
No. Is the mental state of all your zoo staff like this?
Dr. Bray, who prides himself on being serious and reserved, feels that he may not be able to fit in with them in the future.
As the two were chatting, the door of the veterinary station in front was finally opened.
Mu Ling stood inside the door. When she saw the two people outside, she was stunned at first, and then her eyes suddenly widened: "Dr. Bray? Why are you here early?"
During the previous recruitment, Mu Ling had a video chat with this Bray veterinarian. She naturally recognized him, but she didn't expect him to appear suddenly!
Dr. Bray smiled and extended his hand towards Mu Ling, saying cheerfully, "I'm fine anyway, so I was thinking about starting work sooner rather than later. Principal, you wouldn't object to me, would you?"
"Welcome, welcome. You're so welcome." Mu Ling shook his hand and invited him inside. "It's just right. This is the veterinary station. It's a good time for you to visit. This will be your office from now on."
Dr. Bray was very happy to see Director Mu being so polite, so he followed Director Mu in. However, as soon as he entered the veterinary station, he suddenly froze.
Inside the hall of the veterinary station, there was a giant white bear that was at least two and a half meters long and weighed at least one ton. It was sitting on the floor with a toy bear in its arms. When it saw a stranger coming in, it was startled at first, then it immediately got up, picked up the toy bear, turned around and ran inside.
The polar bear stopped only after it ran to a corner and looked outside cautiously.
Dr. Bray: “…”
Dr. Bray: “???”
To be honest, when Dr. Bray just heard the ticket seller say that the director was playing games with Moonlight, he just thought they were in the ward area, doing it across the cage.
After all, the videos Dr. Bray had been cramming told him that Moonlight was still very much repulsed by humans...
But what did he see now?
A retired S-class war bear with neurological trauma, who could go berserk and riot at any moment and has a tendency towards self-abuse, is in the same room with a human being without any barriers. There is no protection between them, and the human is not even wearing protective clothing!
Dr. Bray, who was also not wearing protective clothing, was suddenly panicking!!
He didn't expect to meet face to face in such an unprepared manner!
Seeing Dr. Bree's pupils were shaking, Mu Ling quickly explained: "This is Yueguang, a silver snow bear. I'll send it back to the cage first."
Mu Ling said as she hurried inside, shouting, "Moonlight, go home."
The polar bear stuck out its butt and immediately ran into its cage, then retreated into the corner and looked outside.
Doctor Bray, who was outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He cautiously walked inside. When he reached the door to the ward area, the first thing he saw was not the moonlight, but another animal in a cage near the door...
It was a white fox, a white fox he had never seen in the video. The white fox was sleeping now, curled up on the soft cushion, holding a puppy stuffed animal in its arms.
"This is Lingren." Mu Ling came over and introduced him to Dr. Bree. "He's also a retired S-rank war beast, a Red Heart Fox. Because I need to socialize Moonlight, I gave Lingren some sleeping pills to let him sleep for a while, otherwise he'll keep barking."
Dr. Bray understood this very well. War beasts with damaged nerves would keep howling. Because of the discomfort in their brains, their overall xenophobia and rebelliousness would be very strong. If doctors wanted to prevent such war beasts from going crazy, they would usually prescribe some sleeping pills to allow them to sleep longer, which would make them easier to control.
Dr. Bray withdrew his gaze from the white fox and looked at the giant bear over there: "Director, how did you and Moonlight do the socialization training?"
Mu Ling said, "Actually, I just need to take it out of the cage first, and then play some small games in an unfamiliar environment to relax its guard. I don't dare take it outside yet, and it will only walk as far as the veterinary station lobby."
Dr. Bray nodded and asked, "What game is it? Can we play it again now? I'd like to observe."
Mu Ling thought that this person was a professional after all and was easy to talk to, so she agreed: "Okay."
Mu Ling walked into the cage, and Dr. Bree was afraid that Yue Guang would be stressed, so he retreated to the door and watched them quietly.
According to Dr. Bray's experience, socialization training for animals usually involves petting, hugging, and contact, so that they can gradually adapt to different environments and learn how to relax.
For war beasts with damaged nerves, their biggest problem is that they cannot control themselves. Once someone approaches them, they will go crazy and become stressed. So in this case, the first step should be to make them accept the approach of humans.
Dr. Bray thought so and opened the notebook on his computer. He had the habit of taking notes while observing experiments.
Dr. Bray wrote the word "Moonlight" on the title of the notebook. Just as he was about to continue writing, he heard the voice of the headmaster Mu suddenly come from inside: "Okay, Moonlight, guess which cup contains the freeze-dried fruit."
Dr. Bray: “…”
Dr. Bray: “???”
Dr. Bray looked inside in confusion, and saw Director Mu sitting opposite the huge white bear in the cage. There were three paper cups between them, upside down. Director Mu was like a street liar, asking the giant bear to guess which cup had something in it.
Dr. Bray was a little confused. You call this socialization training? What did you train?
At this time, the white bear lowered its head and sniffed the three cups, then used its nose to nudge the middle one. After knocking the cup over, it successfully ate the freeze-dried food inside.
As the white bear was crunching the freeze-dried food, Mu Ling had already come over, held the white bear's head, pouting her lips, and kissed its nose. Then she said, "Our Moonlight guessed correctly, and the reward is a kiss from sister!"
After the polar bear finished eating the freeze-dried food, it went to smell the other two cups, and then found a freeze-dried food in the second cup, and it ate the second freeze-dried food.
While it was chewing, Mu Ling held up its head again and leaned forward to say, "Our Moonlight is really amazing. She actually guessed correctly twice in a row. I'll reward you with another kiss from your sister!"
This time, Mu Ling kissed the giant bear on the forehead.
Finally, the giant bear pushed over the third paper cup, and as expected, there was also freeze-dried food under the third cup.
"Wow, our wise and mighty Lord Moonlight actually guessed correctly three times in a row. Are you the wisest hero in the legend? No, no, this time the reward must be doubled. Sister must kiss Moonlight many times before you agree!"
As she spoke, Mu Ling kissed the giant bear on the face many times. Finally, she rubbed its forehead and stroked its rough fur. She asked with a smile, "Since I have given Yue Guang so many rewards, what reward will Yue Guang give me?"
The white bear finished eating the three freeze-dried foods. It nudged the cups with its nose again. There was nothing left under the three cups. It knew there was no more food, so it moved closer and nudged Mu Ling's neck with its big forehead.
As it arched its back, its pointed nose found its way into Mu Ling's neck. It sniffed her scent and then used its forehead to butt against Mu Ling's head.
Mu Ling hugged it, rubbed against it, and said softly, "Our Moonlight is awesome! Our Moonlight has learned to actively approach her sister. She's made great progress. Here, this is the extra freeze-dried treat that she gave to Moonlight. She didn't give it to anyone else but Moonlight."
Mu Ling took out a freeze-dried fruit as big as a strawberry from her pocket and stuffed it into the giant bear's mouth. Watching the giant bear eating it with a crunching sound, she touched it again, then turned around and wanted to tell Dr. Bree that this was how she trained Moonlight.
As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she met Dr. Bray's eyes that were wide open into an "O" shape and his mouth that was open into a "mouth" shape.
Mu Ling: “…”
No, why is such an expensive senior veterinarian making faces?
Mu Ling said, "Doctor Bree?"
Dr. Bray: “…”
Dr. Bray: “…”
Dr. Bray was in a trance for a long time before he came back to his senses. He first met Director Mu's eyes, then looked at his notebook, which had not a single word written in it. He suddenly fell into a daze: "I...you...it...kiss..."
For a moment, Dr. Bray seemed to be back in the time when he was dominated by those videos of the Beak Zoo.
Every video is so outrageous, and every human being is so anti-veterinary, which makes him doubt his life and his own profession the whole time!
Now, it's happening again!
Dr. Bray took a deep breath, and after a while, he said quietly, "Director, I don't want a salary anymore. I'll even give you double the salary. Can you teach me this?"
Mu Ling: “?”
-
A veterinarian came to the zoo and everyone saw him at dinner.
Dr. Bray is handsome, tall, and well-mannered, and everyone likes him.
Dr. Bray was also very considerate and said that he had brought gifts for everyone, but the luggage was still being checked in and would not be delivered until tomorrow, so he could only give them to everyone tomorrow.
My colleagues were all very happy at once, and they kept talking about whether it was a gift or not. They were mainly attracted by Dr. Bray as a person!
Regardless of whether it was just a polite remark or not, everyone had a happy dinner together.
Mu Ling finished her meal and left the table in the middle. She went to feed the war beasts first.
Seeing this, Xiang Bie followed him.
So, when the meal was over, Dr. Bray was looking for the director and saw the director and the founding hero busy in the animal dormitory.
The animal dormitory is in full transparency mode at this time.
That is, you can see outside from inside and inside from outside.
Dr. Bray saw that in the glass house, a group of war beasts of different species were living in harmony and happily together.
The golden tiger had finished his meal and was sitting on the cushion licking his paws.
The black leopard was licking the fur of the gray giant wolf.
The naughty little wolf circled around the feet of the towering giant elephant, while the giant elephant used its trunk to roll up the grass on the ground and stuffed it into its mouthful one by one.
On the giant elephant's body, the shrewd falcon was standing on its head, and the director who was changing its dressing was sitting on its back.
As Dr. Bray looked at him, his gaze grew deeper and deeper.
He had never seen such a retired war beast.
They are free, relaxed, leisurely and peaceful.
No disease, no pain, no discomfort, no loneliness.
This small glass house is like a paradise for them, and the people who built it protect them, heal them, and accompany them... In the entire Federation, only these few retired war beasts live a life that other retired war beasts can't even imagine...
"Why are you here?" Dr. Bray was still greedily looking at the moving scene in front of him, when suddenly, an unfriendly female voice came from behind him.
Dr. Bray turned around and saw the person coming. He greeted him, "Keeper Lin."
Lin Xuan put her hands in the pockets of her work clothes. She walked over slowly and stopped beside Dr. Bray. She also looked at the glass room and said, "I know you."
Dr. Bray looked at her.
Lin Xuan said in a cold tone: "You are a military doctor."
Dr. Bray was stunned and immediately frowned.
Lin Xuan turned her gaze and glanced at the young man who was a head taller than her with an extremely cold look: "You are a good war animal doctor, but you ran to the zoo to be an ordinary veterinarian. You can't have no purpose."
Dr. Bray: “…”
No, he was exposed just half a day after arriving?
Lin Xuan said calmly, "Actually, I can roughly guess. Veterinary Association, right? You're here for Qilin and the others."
Dr. Bray quickly explained, "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. Although I am indeed affiliated with the Veterinary Association, I am not a core member. I have no purpose in coming here..."
"I wouldn't believe that," Lin Xuan interrupted him. Then, she narrowed her eyes, glanced at Dr. Bray, and said coldly, "You'd better not try to do anything. I'll keep a close eye on you."
After saying that, Lin Xuan walked towards the dormitory building without even looking at Dr. Bray.
Dr. Bray: “…”
It’s over, and I can’t explain it clearly!
-
On the other side, in the animal dormitory, Mu Ling finally applied ointment to the wound on Magic's butt, and was about to take Tayun to the veterinary station for a mental examination when her light brain suddenly rang.
Mu Ling saw the caller ID and saw it was Director Wang, so she picked up the phone and said with a smile, "Boss, good evening."
Director Wang over there also exchanged a few pleasantries with Mu Ling, and then got down to business: "It's like this. In a few days, the East Star Region will hold an exchange and study meeting among the major zoos. The meeting will be held on the Four Bay Star. Our Shenwang Star's 'Silin Zoo' and 'Fuai Zoo' will participate. I was wondering if your Beak Zoo would like to join?"
Mu Ling became interested when she heard this: "What is the exchange meeting for?"
Director Wang said, "It's a centralized communication and mutual learning event between the various zoos. Actually, this exchange meeting was scheduled last month, but at that time, there was no sign of your Beek Zoo, so I didn't think of you. It's only now that the exchange meeting is about to start, and Silin and Fuai are about to leave, that I remembered you. So, I'm asking if your Beek Zoo wants to go. If you do, I'll add your names."
Mu Ling smiled and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, let's go. Please add us in. Our Beak Zoo is a newly opened zoo, and we need to learn advanced management techniques from other zoos. You are just a timely rain, a great gift to us."
Director Wang felt embarrassed to be praised by Mu Ling. This little girl usually had a lot of clever ideas, but she also said nice words for free. With so many zoos on the God King Planet, he was really a bit partial to their Beek Zoo.
Director Wang then asked, "If you want to go, who will go? Your zoo just opened, will you be able to leave?"
Mu Ling thought about it and realized that they were indeed a bit short on manpower. She asked, "How many days will the exchange meeting last?"
Director Wang said, "One day to go, one day to come back, three days in between, so at least five days must be free."
If we leave for five days at once, people in the park really won’t be able to leave.
The first person Mu Ling thought of was Brother Xiang or Brother Wei.
But she quickly ruled them out for a simple reason. Brother Wei and Brother Xiang were basically the training teachers for all the keepers and patrolmen. If any one of them left, there would be chaos down there.
There was no way. Mu Ling could coordinate and make decisions on other matters, but she might not understand what was happening on the mountain. Brother Xiang and Brother Wei still had to be in charge personally.
Then who else?
The other employees in the park were new, so sending them out for discussion wouldn't teach them much. The person doing the discussion had to be at least a member of management, someone with management experience, so they knew what the focus of the study should be.
After thinking about it, no one else is suitable, only she is the most suitable.
Mu Ling scratched her head and said to Director Wang on the other end of the communication line, "Five days is a bit long, but it should be OK. Director Wang, can you add us in? I'll go when the time comes. If I want to bring a family member, is that okay?"
Director Wang doesn’t know that Mu Ling already has a family. Isn’t this girl only twenty years old? How can she get married so early?
Director Wang said, "That doesn't matter. Each zoo has three places. Within the three places, food and accommodation are provided by the organizer. Anyone can go."
Mu Ling scratched her face and was about to say, what if her family members were animals?
Then Director Wang added, "By the way, you can bring animals with you. I remember there are very few animals in your park. If you have any animals that need mating, you can bring them with you and see if you can find a suitable one. I heard that Fu Ai will be bringing two lionesses with her."
When Mu Ling heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she laughed instantly. It turns out that you can bring animals!
She hurriedly said, "That's good, that's fine."
Seeing that she was determined, Director Wang said, "If you're sure you want to go, we have to leave at 5:00 PM tomorrow. We'll leave as a group and meet at the Starship Center. Is everything okay with you?"
Mu Ling said hurriedly: "No problem, no problem, see you tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock."
After hanging up the call, Xiang Bie, who was carrying fodder for Magic, suddenly looked over and asked calmly, "Family members?"
Mu Ling smiled and said to Brother Xiang, "Yes, Director Wang just called me and said there's an exchange meeting between major zoos and asked if we would like to go. I definitely want to go. What a great opportunity! Food and accommodation are provided. They said you can bring your family members. There are three spots available. I plan to bring Fas too. He used to work on Siwan Star and is familiar with the area."
Xiang Bie frowned and asked again: "Family members?"
Mu Ling nodded. "Yes, you can bring your family. Lingren still needs me, so I plan to bring Lingren with me. They said animals are also allowed. Although Lingren is a retired war beast, there are cases where owners adopt retired war beasts themselves. Therefore, the travel of retired war beasts is protected and allowed by federal law. Just put an anesthetic collar on the war beast to ensure that it can be anesthetized at any time. I will watch Lingren the whole time. As for Yueguang, it's perfect. Yueguang's training has shown initial results in the past two days. It doesn't reject you too much now. You can take care of it even when I'm not around."
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie glanced at Mu Ling again, and then said calmly: "Don't breathe too heavily when you speak next time."
He thought...
Never mind, it’s okay…
