Chapter 37
"Eh? Pimi and Moonlight?"
Mu Ling happened to see the barrage at this time. She saw that in the rapidly flowing barrage, the name that was filling the screen was no longer Qilin's name, but the names of Pimi and Yueguang. Mu Ling quickly pressed the pause button to make sure that everyone was really filling the screen with Pimi and Yueguang, then Mu Ling turned the camera back to Pimi.
"Pimi is sleeping."
The skinny black lion stood motionless with its back to Mu Ling. Even when it heard its own name, it did not react at all and always maintained the same posture.
Mu Ling thought about it and simply opened the cage and walked in.
【! ! Can I just walk in like this?!】
[Is my wife not wearing protective clothing again? ]
[In the previous video with Qilin, I wasn't wearing protective gear. Although we all think the war beasts are little angels, I still hope my wife will protect herself. There have been more than one cases of breeders being mauled to death by retired war beasts in the past!]
Yes, I think the director is a bit overconfident. I think it's fine to have a good relationship with the animals, but protective gear is absolutely necessary.
Mu Ling didn't notice the comments. She sat next to Pi Mi, reached out, and rubbed the black neck hair of the lion at close range.
Male lions have a scarf around their necks. The scarf is very soft and Mu Ling always likes to touch it.
The big lion's eyelashes trembled. Perhaps it was annoyed by being touched, so it moved its head to the side, avoiding Mu Ling's hand.
Mu Ling insisted on touching it. She even lay down, put her face next to the lion's face, and kissed it gently.
The sound of kissing was transmitted into the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments exploded again.
【! ! ! ! Ahh ...
[Will a lion really not turn around and bite you? ]
[I kissed Kirin like this last time, but it felt really dangerous!]
"Pimi, please look at your sister." Mu Ling poked the lion's white beard with her fingers, trying to get a response from the big lion.
Finally, the big lion opened its eyes and looked at Mu Ling.
Its dark brown pupils were filled with indifference, and then it opened its huge mouth, revealing its cold fangs!
「Ahhhh! I knew it would get angry! 」
I said we should wear protective clothing!
Oh my god, it's scary even through the camera! It's about to bite!
"Ha--" The big lion yawned, then closed its mouth, licked its nose, lowered its head and rubbed its beard with its paws. The area where its beard was poked felt itchy.
Mu Ling found it funny and leaned over to kiss its eyes: "I'm sorry, I won't bother you anymore. I'll check to see if you've peed."
Mu Ling said this, reaching behind the lion's butt and touching it.
"Hey, it looks like I peed. Let's change."
Mu Ling said to the livestream, "Everyone, wait a moment. I'll change Pi Mi's pants... Ah, you guys want to see? You want to see me changing my pants too? They're really dirty!"
Mu Ling looked at the large number of "want to watch, love to watch" in the barrage area in surprise, and was a little shocked: "Your hobbies... are quite strange..."
Having said that, Mu Ling finally adjusted the position of the camera so that the audience could see it.
Afterwards, Mu Ling went to the corner to get a change of clothes and sat behind Pi Mi.
Pimi is now very conscious about changing its diaper. Basically, as long as Mu Ling pats it, it will lift its hind legs on its own.
While Mu Ling was changing his diaper, she chatted with the commentators: "Pi Mi is a little bit unable to take care of himself now, so he has to wear diapers. As for pooping, he poops at regular times in the morning and evening, and I help him go to the litter box... As for why he became like this, it's because he used to be throwing tantrums and refused to eat, and then his health collapsed. But now he eats better. Here, he and Yue Guang both have trouble eating, just like little kids, and they have to be coaxed into eating."
While Mu Ling was talking, she had already changed the diaper. She tidied up the seams of Pi Mi's pants, packed up the dirty diaper, threw it into the trash can outside, and washed her hands at the same time.
During this process, the camera followed her throughout, watching her movements.
I was shocked. It changed diapers even better than my daughter! My daughter even cried!
So, is this Pimi an S-rank Black-Headed Lion Pimi? It's really different from the photos online, but it also looks very similar.
[Yes, just now when the director zoomed in, I saw a scar on this lion's eyebrow. It's exactly the same scar as the one on the news, in the exact same spot!]
[Fuck, that news was from a month ago, right? It's only been a month, and Pimi has become so thin! What the hell!?]
[Throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat? Could it be a hunger strike?]
[Huh? Something as serious as a hunger strike is being brushed aside so lightly? Retired war beasts going on hunger strike often mean they've reached a breaking point and could die at any moment!]
[But now it seems that Pimi's mental state is not too bad? ]
Mu Ling washed her hands and walked into the ward area again. At this time, Xiao Zhao showed Mu Ling the time.
Mu Ling glanced at the time. It was already half past twelve, so she smiled and said, "How about we draw the first gift first, the first brush?"
Mu Ling took out the brush and showed it 360 degrees in front of the camera. Then she said, "To enter the lottery, just send the nine words 'Good luck to the opening of Beak Zoo' in the barrage. Then, after one minute, the algorithm will automatically draw our lucky winner."
As soon as Mu Ling finished speaking, the barrage of comments was instantly flooded with "Good luck to the opening of Piccolo Zoo".
One minute passed quickly, and at one minute and one second, a winning window popped up in the middle of the screen.
Mu Ling immediately said, "Congratulations to the netizen named 'Qilin baby kiss me' for winning one of our Qingjiao peripheral brushes. It seems you prefer Qilin. I hope this little gift from Qingjiao DNA won't disappoint you. Our assistant will contact you later, so remember to check your private message."
Mu Ling looked at Xiao Zhao beside her.
Xiao Zhao nodded and began to contact the winner.
Mu Ling then returned to the ward area and continued to show the war beasts to the audience: "We will draw the second brush in ten minutes. Now let's take a look at the lightning."
Mu Ling pointed the camera at the black cheetah in Ward B4. The black cheetah was standing at the door, looking up at Mu Ling outside, with its tail swinging behind it.
【Ahhhhh, my lightning! 】
[Lightning Baby is so cute, my favorite color is black from now on! ]
Mu Ling opened the door of Lightning's cage. As soon as she squatted down, the black panther made a gurgling sound in its throat and rubbed its forehead against Mu Ling's chin. As it rubbed, it made a weak sound: "Ao."
The thin "ow" sound is like acting coquettishly.
Mu Ling smiled and rubbed its head, saying to the commentator, "Lightning has always been our family's most clingy little sister. When I first saw Lightning in the mountains, it was very fierce, but it turned out to be faking it. It quietly followed us down the mountain that day, so strictly speaking, it can barely be considered a free-range leopard."
【Hahahaha, Zilaibao is pretty good! 】
[What's with the leopard? It's actually a zoo employee!]
[Are you an employee or a working ancestor? Please tell me clearly! ]
[Hahaha, that's true. Any zoo that takes in retired war beasts wouldn't treat them like ancestors. They can't be visited, and they have to worry about their mental and physical conditions. It's really heartbreaking!]
[But in this situation, Lightning would take the initiative to follow the director. How amazing! Ahhh, the more I talk about it, the more I want to go to the zoo myself!]
Mu Ling teased Lightning for ten minutes before Xiao Zhao outside reminded her. Mu Ling checked the time and said, "Then let's draw the second brush. Just like before, just post 'Good luck with the opening of Piccolo Zoo' in the comment section. 3, 2, 1... start!"
With the sound of "start", the barrage of comments began to flood the screen again.
A minute later, the second winning audience member appeared.
"Congratulations to this friend who's like 'My Wife Slaps Me, Slaps Me'. He won one of our tax collection brushes. Just like before, our assistant will contact you. Remember to check your private messages."
Mu Ling said this, stood up, and left the Lightning Cage.
Because Lightning lives opposite Moonlight, when Mu Ling goes out, the camera inevitably turns to Moonlight again.
【!!! The white bear is peeping! 】
[I saw it. Although the bear was hiding in the corner, its black eyes were looking out!]
[Turn back, turn back! I told you to be quieter. Look, it's discovered you!]
[…Okay, okay, blame me, blame me. My words scared Xiongxiong through the internet. It has nothing to do with my wife. He didn't hide because he saw my wife go out! It has nothing to do with my wife! It's all my fault!]
Mu Ling randomly paused a barrage and saw that the barrage was saying that Yue Guang had just peeked at her.
Huh, really?
Mu Ling couldn't help but look at Yue Guang's cage, and saw that Yue Guang still had his back to her. He was very autistic, poking the sterile cloth on the ground with his two paws, and soon, he poked holes in the sterile cloth one by one.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling felt helpless. She shook her head and turned to enter the confiscated cage.
As soon as Mu Ling entered, the little wolf held the little yellow duck's head in its mouth and hit Mu Ling's calf with its head.
Mu Ling sat down, held the little wolf in her arms, rubbed its fur, and reached out to take the little yellow duck in its mouth.
But the little wolf refused to let go and ran away with the little yellow duck in its mouth, as if it was afraid that Mu Ling would snatch the duck away from it.
Mu Ling said to the commentator, "Before, Qilin stole Yaya from the wolf and refused to give it back. Since then, no matter where the wolf goes, Yaya has to hold it in his mouth. I think Yaya is about to bite its head off."
As she said this, Mu Ling casually touched Qingjiao, who was lying beside her, and said, "I learned this bad habit from Qingjiao. Qingjiao always bites the little wolf's head, and the little wolf thinks all normal wolves bite their heads."
[Hahaha, hurry up and teach Qingjiao how to raise a baby correctly! ]
[Little Wolf likes ducks so much, does he like eating duck meat?]
【??? Are you a devil!!! Can't it just want a little duck friend?】
[Honey, can you buy a duck for the little wolf as a friend? I want to see the little wolf and the little duck play together!]
Mu Ling happened to see this comment and said with a smile, "But the little wolf is still very cautious. If we buy a duckling, it might be bitten to death by it. For now, let's just give it toys to play with. Once it learns how to get along with plastic ducks, we'll buy it a real duck!"
Mu Ling continued to teach Qing Jiao: "It's mainly because of you. You taught me all that!"
Qingjiao didn't know what Mu Ling was talking about. It thought Mu Ling was playing with it, so it stood up, walked two steps to Mu Ling, and licked Mu Ling's fur.
Mu Ling: “…”
[? ? What are you doing? I can’t see it, I can’t see it!]
[Wife, move the camera up a little.]
Mu Ling sighed and said, "Qingjiao is licking me, it's okay."
Mu Ling wiped her face with her sleeve as she spoke, then stopped Qing Jiao and said, "Don't lick me all the time. It's okay if they lick me, but when you lick me I always feel uneasy, thinking you have some ulterior motive!"
After being stopped, Qingqing did not force himself to lick Mu Ling again. She turned around and saw the little wolf licking the little yellow duck's head, so she walked over and licked her son's head as well.
Mu Ling checked the time and said, "Okay, let's draw the third brush. The rules are the same as the previous two times: 3, 2, 1... Start!"
The third lottery ended quickly. Mu Ling then said, "Now we only have one more draw left. Let's compare and clear it out. Come on."
Mu Ling called out, and Qingqiang, who was licking the wolf cub's fur, looked over. Its scarlet eyes looked particularly sharp and dangerous, but its actions were so natural and calm. After it came over, it stopped in front of Mu Ling.
Mu Ling took the Chuo Chuo Le from Xiao Zhao, and then placed it on Qing Jiao's head.
Thus, the scene of the big Qing Dynasty wearing a felt mini Qing Dynasty appeared.
[Fuck, they're exactly the same!]
[Ahhhh, my wife's cooking skills are so good! I really want this poking music! ]
[No, this prize has to be drawn, right? Can't it be auctioned off? Daddy has plenty of money! Just name your price!]
"It looks very similar, right? When I was stamping it, I took a lot of photos of the confiscated items and compared them one by one. Although it's not 100% similar, I think it's about 60 to 70 percent."
Mu Ling was quite satisfied with her card. She took it down and said, "We'll start drawing in five minutes. But before we do, I have one more thing to tell you. Didn't I mention before that the ticket sales link for our zoo is now open? So, let's add some items to the shopping cart now."
Mu Ling made a gesture to Xiao Zhao, who was already prepared and immediately put a thousand tickets on the shelf.
Mu Ling said to the live broadcast room: "We..."
She just said the beginning, and then she was stunned the next second.
The barrage of comments began to flood the screen again, with only two words on it - [Gone?]
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling turned to look at Xiao Zhao, who was also a little surprised. She said, "The tickets are sold out. They're gone."
Mu Ling: “…”
The barrage was getting anxious at this point.
【0.001 seconds?】
[No, weren't the tickets just released? I barely blinked and they're gone!]
I didn't blink. I watched it go from 1000 to 0, with no transition in between.
[I give up! I almost poked the laptop with my finger. I can’t even get it!]
[How can I possibly get one thousand copies? With such a large zoo, can't you give me a million copies?]
[I'm freaking out! Assistant, get to work! Anyone who grabbed the unpaid items should cancel the order now! There are eight of us in this dorm, and not a single one got one! Who got one?!]
[(Sunglasses evil smile.jpg) Was it hard to grab? I grabbed it easily.]
【Take off your sunglasses and talk.】
[(QAQ.jpg) I’m a liar. I can’t grab anything…]
Mu Ling knew that with the charm of Qilin, the tickets should be sold quickly, but she did not expect it to be so fast. She quickly asked Xiao Zhao to cancel the order, and then she heard Xiao Zhao say: "Director, all the money has been paid."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling was a little embarrassed. Seeing that everyone in the barrage had started cursing because they couldn't grab a spot, she quickly said, "First, let's draw the Pok Pok Le. It's the same rules as before. Post 'Good luck to the opening of Piccolo Zoo!' Start now!"
As Mu Ling said this, the barrage was finally cleared.
But there are still many voices mixed in, all asking when tickets for the 18th can be purchased.
Mu Ling hurriedly said, "Tickets for the 18th will be linked tomorrow, at 12 noon, through this same ticket sales channel. You can purchase them yourself then. Our original ticket price is 299 per ticket, and after the discount, it's 239 per ticket. You should have received coupons before. If you haven't, you can follow our official account of Beak Zoo, and you will automatically receive coupons in the backend. When you buy tickets through Star Network, the ticket price will be directly deducted. We currently have 1,000 tickets available every day, 800 of which are ordinary single tickets, and 200 are group purchase tickets. The group purchase tickets are the same as we agreed before, 10 people buying tickets for 11 people traveling together."
After Mu Ling finished explaining the rules, she felt helpless when she saw the barrage of comments started to get noisy again.
"I would also like to open the park to more visitors every day, but if there are too many people, our staff will be overwhelmed. In addition, animals do not like noisy environments, and too many people will not be convenient for them. Then everyone will have a bad experience. So after careful consideration, we have decided to limit the number of visitors to 1,000..."
"Of course, it's not necessarily 1,000 people. A little more is fine. For example, our tickets are valid for seven days. If you book a ticket but can't come on the day, you can come within seven days. If you want to refund the ticket, there is a 'I want to refund' button in the lower right corner of the ticket purchase channel, and you can also refund the ticket with one click."
Mu Ling explained in detail why only a thousand people were allowed to visit, and how to buy tickets, refund tickets, and use coupons. At this time, the winning name of the Chuchule lottery was also announced.
Mu Ling quickly changed the subject with the Pok Pok Le again: "Congratulations to this friend who said 'A believer is willing to be a vegetarian for three years in exchange for a Pok Pok Le'. He won one of our Pok Pok Les. But your name... uh..."
[Hahahaha, you've been a vegetarian for three years, right?! The contract is done, I'll keep my word!]
[I was really jealous at first, but when I saw your ID, I suddenly stopped being jealous. It turns out everything has a price to pay!]
@Believers are willing to be vegetarian for three years in exchange for a Pok Pok Le. Are you selling it? Price is negotiable!
Suddenly, everyone started flooding the screen with comments asking the netizen who had won the lottery if he wanted to give up. After a while, the netizen angrily typed: [No! I exchanged my meat for it!]
With so many comments, there was actually a big shot who saw this, and the comments were filled with laughter again.
Seeing that the atmosphere had finally returned, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Then our live broadcast today will end here. See you on September 17th..."
Before Mu Ling could utter the last word "San", she was stopped by the barrage of comments.
Mu Ling pressed pause and saw that the comments were all asking about the identities of Pimi and Yueguang.
Mu Ling had no choice but to focus the camera on Pimi across from her and said, "Pimi's species is an S-class black-headed lion, a retired war beast. You can tell by its jet-black fur. It just came to our zoo a few days ago. Because it wasn't feeling well, I didn't film it much. I'll take more videos of Pimi when it gets better."
Having said this, Mu Ling turned the camera to the moonlight on the other side.
As a result, when she looked over, she saw Yue Guang turning his head to look at her, but when he saw her looking over, Yue Guang quickly turned his head away, facing the wall, continuing to hug his legs and poking the sterile cloth on the ground.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling was a bit amused and confused. "Moonlight is an S-rank Silver Snow Bear, a retired war beast. He's been at our zoo for a long time, but a few days ago we discovered a severe relapse of his skin disease, so we took him in for treatment. Currently, Moonlight is still very hostile to our staff, but fortunately, he's willing to eat and take his medicine, so it's only a matter of time before he recovers. Don't worry too much."
[It really is that Pimi and that Moonlight! ]
So, Pimi moved from Happy Canyon Zoo to Piccolo Zoo? Why did he suddenly move to another zoo? And why did he become so thin after that?
[Didn’t you say before that you don’t want to eat? You must be on a hunger strike in Happy Canyon. There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s a caged zoo. The conditions there are definitely not as open as in a safari park. War beasts can easily become depressed…]
What nonsense are you talking about? Is Pimi in the wild right now? Isn't it in a cage? Isn't this cage even smaller than the enclosure? It's fine here, so why can't it survive in Happy Canyon? Are we really protecting our retired war beasts?
[I'm also a bit of a conspiracy theory. Many zoos actually don't want to accept retired war beasts. They think war beasts are troublesome and a big responsibility, so they try every possible way to send them away. I don't know if Happy Canyon is the same. No, I'll go to the Happy Canyon account and ask them later!]
[Has Moonlight's skin disease relapsed? The last time I saw it in the news, it was reported that it had a skin disease and was being caged for treatment. It ended up hurting people and then itself, and we ended up parting ways on bad terms.]
[Can it really be cured this time? No, but why doesn't Moonlight resist this time? ]
[Yes, my wife also said that it was very repulsive to the staff, but it didn't hurt anyone. It just squatted quietly in the corner.]
[I was about to say how pitiful it was to be crouched in the corner, but when I thought about how Moonlight had slapped that staff member into the hospital with one claw, and he had to lie there for three months, I couldn't bring myself to express my sympathy...]
[I'm curious about how my wife managed to calm it down.]
"Okay, today's live broadcast really ends here. See you all on September 17th. Bye."
When the live broadcast finally ended, Mu Ling's shoulders suddenly slumped. She said to Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, keep an eye on the ticket issue. If there's any progress, let me know in time."
Xiao Zhao nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, yes, okay, Director. But Director, can we really only accommodate a thousand visitors? A ticket is 239, so a thousand tickets is only 239,000 yuan. After deducting taxes, it's just over 200,000 yuan. 200,000 yuan a day sounds like a lot, but it's not enough to cover our labor, maintenance, animal feed, medicine, and the cost of purchasing new animals. These are not small amounts, especially for purchasing new animals. We have too few animals in the park now, so we will definitely have to purchase more in the future..."
Mu Ling sighed, "I know it's hard to manage a large business, but we've only just opened and have no experience. If too many tourists come at once and we can't handle them well, wouldn't that damage our reputation? So, in the early stages, we must prioritize word of mouth. Later, when we gain more experience and have more staff, we'll increase the number of visitors depending on the situation."
Seeing that the head teacher had a plan, Xiao Zhao nodded to show that he understood.
After Xiao Zhao left, Mu Ling stood in the ward area and looked back. She saw that the animals in the cages were all looking at her, and even the moonlight was secretly peeping at her.
Mu Ling looked at the war beasts and couldn't help but think of Xiang Bie who had been out of contact for a night.
I don’t know how Brother Xiang is doing now, and whether he has caught Tayun.
-
At the same time, deep in the dense forest on the north side of the mountain.
In a corner of a towering mountain wall, a giant eagle with a white head, golden wings and a dark gray body was staring coldly at the human holding a gun under the grass with a pair of sharp and ferocious golden eyes.
"Puff!" A silent bullet cut through the air and rushed towards us.
The giant eagle flapped its wings and dodged the tranquilizer bullet at an incredible speed!
The golden-winged eagle standing firmly on the cliff on the other side was enraged. It suddenly dived straight down, and its sharp and cold beak was aimed directly at the face of the gun-wielding human below.
The human's eyes appeared from behind the sight. Xiang Bie watched the eagle rush forward quietly. Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the depths of his black eyes, and then his black pupils quickly turned blue.
The giant eagle suddenly sensed the danger. It was smart and courageous. It turned its wings, immediately gave up revenge, and flew straight into the sky!
"Puff! Puff!" Xiang Bie fired two shots in a row. The first shot missed, and the second shot grazed the giant eagle's golden feathers.
Xiang Bie frowned and put down his gun. He saw the giant eagle galloping in the blue sky. In a blink of an eye, it was several thousand meters away from him and then disappeared without a trace.
The blue pupils slowly turned back to black. Xiang Bie lowered his eyes and looked at his palms. The blue veins in his palms were slowly fading away.
He shook his hands roughly, and when the discomfort in his hands eased, he gripped the spear, turned around, stepped through the messy grass, and quickly rushed to the next habitat of the falcon.
