Looking into the chimpanzee's light brown eyes, eyes that held a mixture of wisdom and naivety, Su Zhou watched the popularity in the live stream steadily climb. She took a deep breath. Newcomers get traffic support for their first live stream; if she missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to regain this level of popularity in the future.
Her voice was gentle: "This book is awkward, isn't it? Can I get you a more interesting one?"
Although Su Zhou didn't appear on camera, her voice was naturally soft and pleasant, and the chat in the live stream started making a fuss.
—I bet a spicy snack that the streamer is a beautiful woman; I love her voice.
—Hey streamer, can chimpanzees really understand what you're saying?
Su Zhou glanced at the comments and thought to herself, "Not only can it understand what I'm saying, but it's definitely the smartest chimpanzee in the world."
This is so awkward. I'd like to read some serious literature, or watch some movies.
Listening to Ahei's thoughts, serious literature... there really was still some serious literature piling up in the warehouse, but now that we're live streaming, wouldn't it be better to watch a movie instead? Thinking of this, Su Zhou held up her phone: "Ahei wants to watch a movie, I'll go get my tablet now."
She tried to keep her phone steady and took her tablet out of the warehouse. Some viewers praised her tablet case and asked for a link, while others commented that her office building was a bit messy.
Is there?
Su Zhou glanced around the room; well, it was indeed a bit messy.
Since inheriting the zoo, she's had to reorganize many things from scratch, but she doesn't have the energy to deal with it yet. She's indeed been putting up with the incredibly outdated office for a long time, and if she can't unlock the system's office decoration for the time being, Su Zhou plans to pay for it herself.
"Let's show the tablet to Ahei now. Ahei wants to watch some serious movies. Does anyone have any recommendations?" Su Zhou ran quickly and handed the tablet to Ahei. The tablet is a new version every two years, so it's a consumable item. She didn't mind showing it to Ahei, since she was planning to get a new one anyway. She just smiled and said, "Ahei, this is the tablet. You can choose whatever you want to watch."
She has memberships on most major video streaming platforms, so she can directly bring up the interface for Ahei to choose from.
The chimpanzee's hands are large and rough; the 13-inch tablet looks like a small toy in its palm. Holding the tablet, Ahei leaned against the wire cage and learned how to use it without any instruction.
Since Ahei has gained some intelligence, Su Zhou can no longer treat Ahei entirely as an animal. She pointed the camera at the tablet and Ahei's profile: "I'm live streaming, and many people like you. Can I take a picture of you?"
Ahei nodded humanely and, without looking up, chose to watch a fantasy anime.
Su Zhou glanced at the screen and was speechless: "Ahei, you look down on the school beauties and hunks, but don't you also read stories about overpowered protagonists who level up?"
Members can skip the intro, and the opening scene is about the annulment of the engagement. Ahei held the screen and watched it intently, looking at it from the side.
—Nobody thinks Ahei looks more serious watching anime than I do.
—A chimpanzee watching a level-up protagonist story is so overpowered, if it weren't a live stream, I would almost think it was AI-generated footage. More importantly, it seems like the chimpanzee can actually understand what the protagonist is saying; it seems our main character has a Druid-like constitution.
—Tell me quickly, where is this zoo? I just happened to have some time off recently and I was wondering where to go. Leave a reservation and I'll head over right away.
"Oh, this zoo is located in Beijing, in Fushan. It used to be called Fushan Zoo, but it's now called Wanling. You might not be able to get here using map apps, so I suggest you ask a local where Fushan is when you come. Our zoo is on the mountain. Uh... the zoo's conditions might be a bit basic right now, so please be prepared. But we're working hard to improve it!" Su Zhou didn't watch many live streams and wasn't very familiar with the talking techniques. She just wanted to attract some traffic to the zoo through the internet, so she spoke very casually.
Many people watching Ahei's live stream started discussing the anime content. This anime is a big IP with a large fanbase, and many anime fans were amazed that Ahei, a chimpanzee, had such good taste. They spontaneously shared the live stream with other friends, causing a surge in traffic to the stream.
Su Zhouhai received some small tips, which were said to be for Ahei's feed.
After streaming for over an hour, Su Zhou told the viewers in the chat, "I'm going to end the stream now. The streaming time isn't very fixed. If the zoo hires a dedicated streamer in the future, the streaming time might be a little more stable. If you like what you see, please follow us. We'll be updating the zoo's daily life from time to time."
After saying that, Su Zhou turned off the live stream.
The live stream data appeared in the backend. The retention rate was very good after one live stream. Originally, there were only two inactive followers, but after one live stream, the number of followers increased by more than 20,000.
This data is not bad. This live stream is just something Su Zhou came up with randomly. There are no lights, no camera presence, only Ahei's excellent performance.
Ahei was still looking at the tablet. Su Zhou patted Ahei's shoulder and reminded him, "Ahei, you've been looking at the tablet for so long, you should take a break. Don't make your eyes nearsighted. I'll cut you some fruit now, you wait here for me."
After Ahei finished watching the episode, Su Zhou took the tablet away and then cut some fresh fruit for Ahei to eat.
She fed all the animals one by one, then lay down in her spot. The zoo was quite remote, and if people were actually drawn to it, the convenience store wouldn't be able to function without water. There had to be a convenience store, and it had to be inside the zoo. Actually, she could unlock it with gold coins through the system. She had to admit, the system's ink-wash painting style was really high-end, and there were many decorations. If she could collect them all, Su Zhou couldn't even imagine how beautiful it would be.
Haste makes waste; there are some things she has to do herself.
After sleeping for an hour, Su Zhou woke up and immediately started working overtime, editing the live stream footage, adding a popular background music track, and posting it online.
She never expected that a live stream she started on a whim would become an unprecedented sensation.
Initially, netizens were frantically sharing the zoo's live stream. The zoo was very popular and quickly became a trending topic on social media. The same was true for the video edited by Su Zhou herself. No matter when you clicked on it, it always had 99+ likes. In other words, the live stream was overwhelmed regardless of whether anyone was watching.
