Chapter 8
On Sunday morning, as a sophomore student at the Beast Military Academy who was preparing for a make-up exam, Zhou Qin got up at five in the morning to study.
After memorizing half of a modern history book, Zhou Qin touched his stomach and looked at the clock.
It was already noon, no wonder he was hungry.
After ordering lunch from the cafeteria and waiting for the robot to deliver the food, Zhou Qin fell back on the bed and decided to take a break and browse the Star Network for a while.
Because he was studying Beast, Zhou Qin's account often saw some animal videos, and today was no exception. Zhou Qin scrolled twice and saw a tiger video with less than a hundred hits.
Because it was a tiger on the cover, Zhou Qin thought it was a science article about tigers, but when he saw the title - "The Princess of Piccolo Zoo".
Zoo?
Tigers in the zoo? Taming tigers?
Zhou Qin frowned immediately. He studied animal training, so he knew very well how wild animals were usually tamed in zoos outside.
Simply put, it was either beating or scolding, or starving the beasts until they collapsed, and then giving them food. Through torture, the beasts were made to obey humans.
Zhou Qin was very disgusted with this behavior. Not only him, but most of the teachers and students in their school were disgusted with this kind of folk animal training. It
was okay to train animals, but you had to train them scientifically. The purpose of training animals was not to make the animals afraid of you, but to make them believe in you, just like in their Beast Training Academy. Every freshman's first beast training class when they arrived at the school was to go to the War Beast Academy and personally choose a war beast of their own.
They need to feed, accompany and take care of the war beasts themselves when they are still cubs. When the war beasts are half a year old, they can come to the Beast Academy and participate in training with the students. This training is about the cooperation, habits and tacit understanding between the owner and the war beasts. In this way, when they go to the battlefield in the future, they can fight side by side and trust each other with their backs.
This is the purpose of animal training, to make animals become partners of humans, not like those zoos do, making animals become slaves of humans!
Although Zhou Qin knew that not every zoo would unscrupulously train animals, there were too many such zoos, which caused him to easily get stressed when he saw the word "zoo" associated with beasts!
Looking at the tiger cover in front of him, Zhou Qin almost held a judgmental mood and seriously clicked the play button!
At the beginning of the video, there was a deliberately soft female voice.
"Hello friends, I will immersively show you the little tiger in our zoo..."
Little tiger?
Where is the little tiger?
Zhou Qin was confused at first, until he found that the little tiger the female voice was talking about was actually the adult tiger in front of him with a length of nearly three meters, a nail length of up to 20 centimeters, and a tooth bite force of at least one ton. He was completely speechless...
???
What the hell, you call this a little tiger?
"This little tiger is called Qilin, it is an eight-year-old baby..."
Yes, it is eight years old! Who told you that an eight-year-old tiger is still a baby?
It’s not a regular zoo. The keepers don’t even know the age of the animals. The normal life span of a tiger is 15-20 years old. An eight-year-old tiger is already equivalent to a human in his twenties!
The female voice continued, “It was injured yesterday. Look at how many bandages it has on its body. Fortunately, it is out of danger now…”
Zhou Qin: “!!!”
Evidence of animal abuse has appeared! You are indeed that kind of unscrupulous zoo! You still
have the nerve to say it was injured? How can it be injured in a zoo? How can it be injured in a cage? If it is injured, isn’t it because you beat it?
Out of danger? You beat it into danger!!!
Zhou Qin was so angry that his hands were shaking. He wanted to call the Wildlife Conservation Association right now and report this crazy Piccolo Zoo under his real name!
But Zhou Qin still forced himself to calm down. He had to finish watching the video first and get all the evidence!
"Qilin, say hello to everyone?"
The camera suddenly moved in front of the nose of the eight-year-old adult tiger. The tiger's cold eyes stared at the camera coldly. Its eyes were very indifferent, and there was a surging danger in its eyes.
Zhou Qin felt nervous for no reason. Even through the screen, he seemed to feel the tiger's sharp murderous intent.
No, this doesn't look like an ordinary tiger. Looking at the pattern, eh, it looks a bit like a tearing tiger?
There are more than 300 species of tigers in the universe today, but the ripping tiger is extremely rare and is classified as an endangered animal. I must have seen it wrong. It is covered with so many bandages and I am not sure. It cannot be a ripping tiger.
If it is really a ripping tiger, the zoo director will be sent to jail for abusing a federally protected animal!
The lying tiger only looked at the camera and closed his eyes to sleep.
Is it because he was injured and exhausted that he even forgot the alert instinct of a beast and slept so lazily in front of humans?
"Our little Qilin is a bit aloof, but it has a very gentle personality. By the way, it's a little sister..." The keeper said. Zhou Qin was about to mock her. She was injured and wanted to take a rest. Why did she become aloof in front of you? It shows how you treat animals normally!
But the next second, the camera moved closer again. With a "smack", it turned out that the keeper kissed the tiger.
Zhou Qin: "..."
Zhou Qin: "????"
What the hell, what is she doing?
Can a beast be kissed?
And an adult beast? ? ?
Its war beast "Sisi" is a little gray wolf, just turned one year old. He just graduated from the War Beast Academy Kindergarten last semester and came to the War Beast Academy to study. Now he is living in the War Beast dormitory with other freshmen, and is taken care of by professional teachers. Zhou Qin can only see Sisi in three War Beast classes a week. Last time he wanted to kiss Sisi, Sisi almost bit him to death!
Zhou Qin was jealous. Sure enough, only war beasts are difficult to get close to. Animals in ordinary zoos can actually accept kisses from keepers!
He also wants to kiss Sisi!
After the keeper kissed the tiger, the tiger still didn't blink. If it weren't for its tongue still licking its nose, Zhou Qin would have thought it had been injected with an anesthetic and passed out.
"Qilin is asleep, so let's sleep too. Do you like the little tigers in our park? Please tell me in the comment section."
As the female voice finished the last sentence, the video ended, and the interface automatically entered the next video.
Wait, wait!
Zhou Qin quickly scrolled back to the video and played it again.
Finally, after watching the video three times in a row, Zhou Qin finally opened the comment section.
This video currently has only 4 likes and 1 comment.
The only comment seemed to be made by a robot. The ID was a number, the avatar was a gray original avatar, and it replied with two words - "like".
Zhou Qin: "..."
Zhou Qin is actually a little unsure now. Is this tiger really abused? But it will let the keeper kiss it...
Zhou Qin scratched his head, and finally decided to download the video first to keep the evidence, then clicked forward and forwarded the video to his class group, asking classmates to help take a look -
Zhou Qin: [Everyone, look at this tiger. Is this state normal? Does anyone know how to identify animal injuries? ]
It's a weekend, and there are so many idle students. The group has 99+ in a short while.
[I don't know how to identify, but I can't see the wound here, it's all bandaged, but it looks like a tearing tiger, is it a tearing tiger? ]
[How could it be a tearing tiger? Did you turn on the beauty filter? Did you turn it into a tearing tiger? I remember that after Colonel Val's Qilin, the Federation currently has no adult Rip Tigers, and the few artificially bred tiger cubs are still drinking milk in the breeding center. 】
【I used the software to scan it, and the beauty filter was not turned on. 】
【Huh? Not turned on? I guess the pattern is a bit similar to the Rip Tiger...Haha, this tiger is also called Qilin, it's true, this zoo is deliberately taking advantage of the traffic of our top tiger world, the tiger king Qilin! 】
【Is this okay? Qilin is an S-level retired war beast with first-class merit. It's a bit disrespectful to be imitated like this. 】
【I left a message and asked them to change the name. 】 【
What's the point of leaving a message? I'll tell you later that this is a "tribute" to the heroic war beast. I hate this kind of marketing the most. This zoo will be black for life! 】
【I searched for this zoo, it's on the God King Planet, but it's closed. When was this video from? 】
The group chatted for a long time, and the focus shifted directly from "the tiger was suspected of being abused" to "the S-class war beast Qilin was imitated". Zhou Qin finished lunch and clicked in again to see that the video had been transferred to the campus group and campus forum. In less than half an hour, the video had thousands of comments. Although most of them were scolding and questioning, they were also real data. As the number of views and comments increased, the intelligent algorithm of the Star Network would push more videos!
Zhou Qin: "..."
I'm not trying to divert traffic to this video...
-
Mu Ling doesn't know about the things on the Internet yet.
After changing Qilin's medicine at eight o'clock in the morning, Mu Ling smelled the bad smell on her body and took a combat shower before the people from the protection network company came.
At nine o'clock, the employees of the protection network company arrived on time. Mu Ling received them personally, and then paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan with tears in her eyes.
Yes, if she was not the one responsible for paying, she would not want to come out at all. She did not sleep well last night and wanted to catch up on sleep now.
However, Wei Li saw her stingy look and asked Xiang Bie quietly: "Brother Xiang, why does the director have such an expression for just 20,000 yuan? Isn't she very rich?"
Xiang Bie had heard Lawyer Xu mention once that the zoo was going to change owners, but it was not a resale, but an inheritance...
He guessed: "She probably doesn't have money."
Wei Li: "..."
Wei Li didn't believe it: "How is that possible? How can you buy a zoo without money? Would you spend 100,000 to repair the protective net without money?"
Yes, although she has no money, she is still willing to spend money to ensure the safety of the zoo.
"I guess the director is a little stingy. Isn't it said that the richer a person is, the stingier he is." Wei Li muttered, then chuckled: "However, I still like our new director very much. He is much better than the previous one. Moreover, the new director can control Qilin. The first person in the world who can control Qilin. I still feel excited! Our director is really awesome!"
Wei Li praised him a lot, but Mu Ling didn't hear a word he said. She was still arguing with the people from the protection network company. She was asking them whether they would provide free maintenance and three-year warranty in the future. They said they only provided one-year warranty. She was trying to use the zoo travel package to negotiate with them whether they could add one more year.
The business manager of the protective net company had never seen her bargain so well, and in the end, he used connections and established friendships to set the warranty period to one and a half years.
Mu Ling was satisfied. After watching Wei Li and Xiang Bie drive the protective net company's car into the jungle, she stretched her legs, returned to the dormitory and fell asleep.
Before going to bed, she set an alarm for herself for four hours, and she had to get up at one o'clock in the afternoon to change the medicine for Qilin again.
While Mu Ling was sleeping soundly, the communicator of the Forestry Bureau of Shenwang Star was almost blown up.
All of them were complaints, saying that a zoo on their planet was abusing animals and using the names of retired war beasts for malicious marketing, which had caused extremely negative social impacts. Moreover, the zoo was confirmed on the corporate website to be a closed zoo. Now netizens seriously suspect that the zoo is operating illegally and is involved in illegal confinement of wild animals. They demand that the government of the God King Star must conduct a thorough investigation!
The director general of the Forestry Bureau: "..."
What the hell, are we in big trouble?
