Chapter 12
When trimming the nails on its hind legs, Qilin had already given up resistance. Mu Ling trimmed the nails very quickly. After a few trims, she did not trim Qilin's nails. Generally, only pets need to have their nails trimmed. Wild animals do not need to have their claws as sharp as possible.
After trimming the nails, the food outside was delivered.
Mu Ling did not turn the camera to take a picture of Wei Li outside the cage. She let the camera continue to take a picture of Qilin, and went over to take the food bowl, smiling and shouting: "Qilin, eat."
The tiger lying on the ground shook its body, swung its tail and stood up.
Mu Ling put the food bowl on the ground, Qilin went over to sniff it, and then ate it politely.
Qilin eats very politely, chewing slowly and elegantly, unlike other beasts who eat voraciously.
Mu Ling adjusted the camera and filmed Qilin eating.
"Qilin now eats three meals, and one meal is about this amount. This is frozen food, the white one is nutrient powder, the red one is calcium powder, and the chicken is mixed with yogurt. Qilin likes strawberry yogurt very much, and it also adds hair-beautifying oil. It is said that it will take effect in seven days. After seven days, it is possible that our Qilin will become a sleek little beauty, right, Qilin?"
Mu Ling said, and touched the big tiger's rough and dull fur.
The tiger was also used to Mu Ling's hands and feet, and it ate the food with a crunch, and no matter how Mu Ling touched it, it didn't even turn its head.
This video was not ended until Qilin finished the whole bowl of rice and ate two more cans of snacks.
When the screen turned black again, silence spread infinitely in the small dormitory...
Zhou Qin: "..."
Zhou Qin's roommate: "..."
The two silly male college students looked at each other in confusion. Finally, it was Zhou Qin's roommate who spoke first: "Fuck..."
Zhou Qin: "Fuck..." They
looked at each other again...
"Fuck!!!"
The two screamed in surprise and were completely dumbfounded!
What the hell! Hallucination! What did they just see? A video of a retired S-class war beast willing to be kept in a cage, willing to be kissed, willing to change the dressing, willing to have its nails cut, and willing to be touched while eating? No
, it's impossible, this is not real, it's a special effect! It's definitely a special effect!
Zhou Qin's roommate held on to the last glimmer of hope to expose the fake, and with trembling fingers, he opened the comment section of the video.
There must be a big shot in the comment section who has cracked the secret of the special effects, there must be!
When they saw this video, it had just been released for 15 minutes. Now, after watching a 9-minute video, the video release time has become "24 minutes ago".
And in the comment section...
the top post is a screenshot of the Kirin adoption document posted by the blogger himself. On it, Colonel Val's signature is written in a swift and shocking way.
Below it are comments from other netizens.

[Come and tell me, is this the power of technology! 】
【FOC test software ran nine times in a row, and the video was completely broken, but it still didn’t test out any AI, special effects, or editing in it. She didn’t even turn on the beauty filter... She really, I’m crying! 】
【Family members, don’t be fooled by this blogger. I’ve been reading novels for years, and I can understand this situation at a glance. There must be a human soul living in the body of this tiger, otherwise there is no way to explain this situation! Novels won’t lie to me! 】
【I think it should be cloned! Is it a cloned tiger? Did they clone a tearing tiger that looks exactly like a unicorn? You are breaking the law! 】
【So before reporting the blogger to jail, everyone has confirmed that this tiger is really a tearing tiger? Is it really a unicorn? 】
【I don't want to admit it, but damn... Colonel Val reposted this video five minutes ago and gave it a thumbs up! 】
【Okay, okay, you have Colonel Val's endorsement, you are great, I believe your tiger is a genuine Qilin, but you must explain to me clearly, how did you do it! Why would Qilin be willing to let you cut its nails! 】
【Although I don't know how the keepers of this zoo did it, but a friendly reminder, students of the Beast Academy please don't try it easily. 】
【Thank you for the invitation, the person is already in the infirmary. After watching the video, I took a can of food to coax my Warbeast to kiss me, and now my arm has twelve stitches. 】
After reading the comments, Zhou Qin and his roommates were even more confused. Just when they were still unwilling to accept reality, this video had already climbed to the 50th place on the Star Network's hot search list like a starship.
The title of the entry is #Retired Tiger Cutting Nails on the Scene#
-After
Mu Ling posted the video, she nestled beside Qilin to brush the comments. Seeing more and more comments and higher and higher playback volume, her face was about to break with laughter.
Wei Li, who was passing by the door, glanced at her and couldn't help asking: "Director, how about feedback?"
"Yes! Especially good!" Mu Ling was very happy: "The hot search has reached 49! Hehehe, I deliberately chose to post it at the peak traffic time in the evening, I'm simply a genius!"
Wei Li: "..."
Wei Li didn't know what to say, so he could only say euphemistically: "Then if you are free now, Director, let's decide on the animal food for next week."
Mu Ling: "..."
The smile on her face disappeared instantly, and Mu Ling looked at Wei Li stiffly.
Wei Li explained: "If we order now, it will be delivered the day after tomorrow at the earliest. The remaining rations we have now are only enough for feeding tomorrow."
Mu Ling: "…………"
Finally, Mu Ling walked out of the iron cage like a zombie and followed Wei Li to the office. Then, on the computer in the office, she watched Wei Li add a series of purchase orders, clicked on the payment button, and showed her the payment code.
Mu Ling trembled her fingers and swiped her card on the bill worth "29,000" interstellar coins.
With a crisp "payment successful" prompt sound, Mu Ling felt that her soul was about to leave her body.
A week's food allowance is 30,000 yuan, and there are still two weeks before reopening, which means 60,000 yuan. She has a total of 200,000 yuan, and paid 100,000 for the protective net and 60,000 for food, which leaves 40,000 yuan. This 40,000 yuan must be used to cover all other expenses of the zoo. How can this be enough... Putting aside
other things, if the zoo reopens, the service area on the first floor must be reopened, and the small supermarket and the cooked food area inside must be opened. Otherwise, customers will not be able to buy anything when they come, and they will not be able to have lunch. There is also a ticket office, which must be manned by someone. Once it opens, Brother Xiang and Brother Wei will definitely have to drive the shuttle to take tourists into the jungle. Mu Ling has to be responsible for the overall coordination herself. They can't even take care of the ticket office, and there are other miscellaneous jobs that have to be done.
When Bic Zoo was at its most prosperous, it had hundreds of employees at the same time. Mu Ling certainly wouldn't dare to hire so many people now, and she doesn't have the money to hire so many people, but she has to hire at least ten people, otherwise the zoo won't be able to open.
Thinking about her little remaining savings, Mu Ling forced herself to cheer up and think of a solution immediately!
First of all, employees don't have to be paid immediately after they are hired. Salaries are paid at the end of the month. If they start working in mid-September, they should be able to earn employee salaries by the end of September.
Secondly, things in supermarkets and delicatessens don't have to be purchased directly. You can place an order first and settle the bill at the end of the month.
Manufacturers don't forgive debts?
No, no, no, that depends on how you negotiate. As long as her zoo has credibility, customer base, and guarantees, she can forgive.
Although Mu Ling has the property rights of the zoo, she does not have the right to sell the zoo before it has been in operation for three years, so she cannot use the zoo to get a bank loan, but she can use the zoo to negotiate with the manufacturer. It all depends on the words she uses.
Quickly calculating how to get something for nothing, Mu Ling's expression finally turned from cloudy to sunny, and a profiteer's smile slowly appeared on her face.
Wei Li looked at the director's terrifying grin, his hair stood on end, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
"Squeak, squeak..." At this moment, the intercom that Wei Li placed on the table suddenly rang.
Wei Li took it and pressed it. There was immediately a burst of noise from the other side, followed by an unfamiliar male voice: "Hello, hello, hello! Is anyone there? Does anyone hear you?"
Wei Li was stunned. This seemed to be the voice of Master Zhou who was repairing the protective net.
Wei Li immediately went back: "Master Zhou? Is there anyone there? What happened?"
Master Zhou spoke quickly: "We encountered two wolves! The little Xiang in your zoo led the mother wolf away. He asked me to send you a message and ask you to bring your director in. There is also a first aid kit. There is a dying wolf in here."
Wei Li and Mu Ling: "!!!"
Mu Ling immediately rushed over and asked: "Is Brother Xiang okay?"
The other side said: "I don't know, he hasn't come back yet. We are in the southwest of the inner circle, at the third pillar of the B-9 protective net. Hurry up, the little wolf is still stuck on the branch..."
Stuck on the branch!
How serious is this!
Wei Li and Mu Ling did not dare to delay immediately. One went to get the first aid kit and the other went to get the tranquilizer gun. Two minutes later, the two gathered downstairs and quickly got on the mountain bike.
Yesterday, when riding a mountain bike, Mu Ling felt like her brains were about to be shaken out, but today, she was able to overcome it with her willpower!
Sure enough, the potential of the human body is unlimited!
Wei Li is very familiar with the mountain road. Halfway through, he saw that Mu Ling was still full of yang, so he simply chose not to take the flat road, but to take the shortcut.
The efficiency of the small road is fast, and the noise of cars and searchlights along the way is too loud, so the animals in the mountains actively avoided it. In less than two hours, they arrived at the place that Master Zhou said without any obstacles.
Several masters from the protective net company were afraid that the wolves would come, so they were squatting on the branches to save their lives. When they saw the car coming, the most agile master, Master Zhou, jumped down and pointed to the hillside not far away. He said to Wei Li and Mu Ling: "The little wolf was barking before, but it was silent fifteen minutes ago. It is estimated that it is dead..."
Mu Ling frowned immediately. She picked up the first aid kit and walked over quickly.
Wei Li was beside her and gave her a light.
It was not until they walked to the bottom of the rocky hillside that Mu Ling saw a dark gray, cat-sized wolf cub, bloody and stuck in a fallen, sharp tree trunk.
It should have fallen from the hillside, but unexpectedly there was a collapsed tree below the hillside. As soon as it fell, a sharp tree trunk pierced into the shoulder and elbow of its right front paw. This puncture wound would not have been fatal, but because it could not get rid of the tree trunk, it kept struggling, and the wound became bigger and bigger.
Mu Ling's heart was directly raised to her throat. Frankly speaking, the little wolf cub looked like he was dead.
She approached carefully, and put her fingertips close to the wolf cub's pulse...
one second, two seconds, three seconds...
After waiting for a full five seconds...
"It's moving!" Mu Ling exclaimed in an instant: "It still has a heartbeat!"
