"You guys go first, leave the rest to me." Su Zhou rested for a bit, rubbing her temples. How to arrange the little ones was a matter of concern. "Put them in the storage room first. I remember the storage room is empty right now, right?"
“Yes, there’s nothing inside. There’s air conditioning, so they won’t get too hot.” Song Xinran nodded.
Su Zhou: "Let's keep them there for now, and I'll think about the venue later."
She knew perfectly well that she could buy the venue and bring her own staff, but she didn't have that much money in her account right now. However, she really wanted to complete the task, so she had no choice but to take this measure temporarily.
If you treat the zoo's app as a simulation management game, many details are very realistic. The money in your account isn't constant; for example, the maintenance of various facilities and enclosures requires money. For instance, Ahei might accidentally break a few piano keys, and the repair costs will be deducted from your account's coins. Also, the ingredients for the restaurant and milk tea shop need to be replenished constantly. While these things are convenient, seeing a sum of coins deducted from your account precisely at midnight every day is heartbreaking for Su Zhou.
For Su Zhou, each deduction of a gold coin felt like heading to her execution.
Making money is hard, so cherish every penny you earn.
It would be best to solve the problem with your own money.
After Tang Yu and Song Xinran left, Su Zhou called over the company's truck, which could hold a lot of things.
They slowly made their way to the reptile area, where there were many snakes, which looked quite scary. They say a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and when Su Zhou was little, she wasn't afraid of snakes at all; she even dared to pinch a snake's tail to play with. But as she grew older, Su Zhou became quite afraid of these reptiles.
Despite my fear, I still have to raise them.
Su Zhou set her sights on the shop owner's prized possession: a golden python.
Its entire body was golden, like a piece of gold. Just by looking at the smoothness and fineness of its scales, you could tell that the owner of this reptile petting zoo must genuinely love reptiles. Su Zhou knew a classmate who kept snakes, and he had once said that the smell of his snake's excrement was absolutely terrible. But Su Zhou hadn't smelled anything unpleasant since entering this reptile petting zoo, which was enough to show that the place was very well cleaned.
"And baby crocodiles, I want one too, this one." Su Zhou couldn't name the crocodile, so she pointed to it. The baby crocodile was still a cub, very small. All animal babies are indeed adorable; even baby crocodiles and snakes are quite cute. Of course, fly and mosquito babies are out of the question; Su Zhou really dislikes those two.
The shop owner was a young, burly man with a full-arm tattoo. He smiled, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and said, "This is a Siamese crocodile. It's relatively small, but when it grows to adulthood... it can grow to two or three meters long. I've seen many people who keep pets just on a whim, so before you get one, you must make sure you're financially independent enough to keep an exotic pet, right? What if you release it into the wild and scare your neighbors?"
Su Zhou looked up at him. The shop owner was holding a snake coiled in his hand, the snake flicking its tongue. He looked at the snake with obvious affection.
That's true.
Even pets like cats and dogs, which are considered pets in the mainstream sense, are often abandoned. They are abandoned as soon as they get a slight illness, not to mention exotic pets. When I was an undergraduate, I passed by the men's dormitory and there was a cage of abandoned fancy mice downstairs. The little mice looked to be only a few months old. They were very friendly, and anyone who walked by would grab the cage with their paws. In the end, they were adopted by a kind girl who kept golden hamsters.
The same applies to snakes; there are numerous news reports about people releasing pet snakes into the wild, so it's no wonder the shop owner would specifically remind them.
Su Zhou had a good impression of this kind-hearted person despite their fierce appearance, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Don't worry, I really care about raising them, and... I have never abandoned any small animals. Once I raise one, I will definitely take full responsibility for it."
"The snake in your hand is beautiful, can I touch it?"
To verify that her decision wasn't just a whim, Su Zhou reached out her hand. The little snake was indeed quite cute, with a small head and big eyes. The shopkeeper readily agreed, "Sure, why not?"
When she opened her heart, a soft, cute, and innocent female voice immediately filled Su Zhou's ears.
My sister's hands feel so good, so soothing.
[Hehe, I want to keep holding my sister's fingers, but I still prefer my dad.]
Su Zhou was taken aback. She looked at the little snake with its tail tip wrapped around her finger and chuckled. She used her free hand to touch the top of the snake's head. The shop owner was packing up the Siamese crocodile.
"Okay, here you go."
Su Zhou took the Siamese crocodile, returned the small corn snake to the shop owner, and before leaving, she suddenly said, "Do you believe I can understand what it's saying?"
The shop owner was very patient with the beautiful woman who loved reptiles: "I believe you, why wouldn't you?"
“The little snake is calling you daddy. It says it likes you.” Su Zhou laughed along, his expression clearly showing disbelief, but he still agreed.
However, she wasn't lying; the little snake did indeed like him.
After leaving the reptile shop, Su Zhou made a fruitful trip to the flower and bird market. She bought about ten different kinds of animals and put them all in cages. Su Zhou also heard the system notification sound, just as she had hoped.
[Congratulations, host. Mission 4 is complete. Rewards have been issued.]
Su Zhou closed the passenger door, took a couple of sips of milk tea, her bright red lips glistening with a layer of crystalline color. "System, do you have screen recording or radio functions?"
system:【? 】
What on earth is the host doing?
Su Zhou cleared her throat: "Hearing the sound of the mission being completed is like hearing celestial music, my ears are instantly cleared. I want to record it and listen to it repeatedly."
To her, the sound of the task being completed was no less pleasant than the notification sound of a million yuan arriving in her Alipay account—it was pleasant to hear, she loved hearing it, and she wanted to hear it again.
But the better news is that she has finally met the requirements for the primary zoo.
Open the Zoo app, and a shiny gold icon appears in the "My" section.
Congratulations on achieving the "Beginner Zoo" achievement!
The honorary titles for zoos are also quite simple, and can be roughly divided into: junior zoo, intermediate zoo, senior zoo, and god-level zoo.
The corresponding standards are also different, and certain requirements must be met to achieve them. For example, the conditions for a beginner zoo are: having more than 20 kinds of ornamental animals in the zoo, unlocking 15 buildings, and having a turnover of 1 million.
There will be achievement rewards after completing the task, just like in a game.
After obtaining the achievement icon, Su Zhou discovered that the world she saw had changed.
White text automatically appeared above the sparrows perched on the branches, introducing the species and habits of magpies.
Looking at the reward, "Thousands of Animal Comments" is such a ridiculous name, but it's actually really useful.
