I have a wildlife zoo

Father Tang's memory surfaced, "Of course you don't remember! You were just a tiny baby back then."

"It must have been when you were about three months old. Mainly, your mother was bored at home and wanted to go out and have some fun, so she took you to the zoo."

"I remember there were lions, tigers, peafowl, and you could even feed them for a little money. To tell the truth, it actually wasn't that fun. The animals were kept in big iron cages, looking listless and unhappy. After that, we never took you again."

"Eh, Linhai is just lacking in historical depth, there isn't much worth visiting," Mother Tang said curiously, "By the way, why did you suddenly ask about this, Tangtang? Do you want to go to the zoo? How about we go again sometime?"

Father Tang frowned in thought, "A few years ago I heard a colleague say that he took his child on the weekend, and they hardly saw any animals. It seemed like the zoo was about to go out of business. After all these years, I wonder if it's still open?"

"I see... then how about we drive to Lanhe Zoo next door during the National Day Holiday? I've heard it's quite nice there."

"No, I was just asking casually!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxin panicked, waved her hands frantically, stuck out her tongue, and ran off.

Last National Day, her parents took her out, and they ended up stuck in traffic on the highway for almost a day. It was an unforgettable memory.

What's the point in traveling? Isn't it nicer to stay at home?

...

"Friends, don't forget to follow! Goodbye!"

Fang Ye smiled and waved his hand, then slightly furrowed his brows without anyone noticing.

As soon as the camera was off, he made a couple of remarks to Lan Li and went straight back to the dormitory.

And slept like a log!

Because using the "affable skill" consumed mental energy.

Today, in order to groom and bathe Xiaoqiao, to keep Xiaoqiao obedient and not resist, he used the skill three times in a row, maintaining the "affable" state for half an hour.

When the livestream ended, Fang Ye appeared normal on the outside, but he was actually very exhausted.

After a nap, he regained some energy.

When he opened his eyes again, he checked his phone and saw it was already past dinner time.

"I'll have Old Zhang make a special dish later, maybe just cook some noodles," he thought.

Fang Ye got up from the bed, touched his rumbling stomach and pondered quietly.

"This affable skill consumes quite a bit! And today when I used it, the effect didn't seem as distinct as the first time? It seemed that after being held for so long, Xiaoqiao started to resist towards the end."

He quickly figured out the reason.

Actually, it's quite normal, just like a child who has never had fried chicken, burgers, or fries. The first time they eat at KFC, the excitement, thrill, and fulfillment they feel make them want to eat it every day, thinking that the home-cooked food their parents make usually tastes too bland.

But after a few times, they realize the taste is just so-so, and there are plenty of other tasty things out there. They won't be as crazy about it as they were in the beginning.

As they get older, they may even start to dislike these high-calorie fried foods.

The atmosphere created by the affable skill is somewhat similar for animals.

The first time they experience it, the stimulus is strongest. If I were to put it into numbers, it would be like +50 affinity: extremely friendly, like family!

Use it another time, and it becomes +30 affinity: Really nice, this litter-scooper isn't bad.

At last, +10 represents the normal effect.

"Let's see what I've gained today!"

Fang Ye quickly cheered up and opened the system panel.

Popularity value 15,000!

That means I can draw more than ten times again.

Anticipating a bit, he thought, "I wonder if I could get an item or equipment to increase mental energy?"

He had come to appreciate the importance of mental energy.

Start the draw!

Alpaca plushie, tiger plushie, better luck next time...

"Damn! Are they trying to make me open a souvenir shop?"

Fang Ye couldn't help but complain.

With this lottery probability, the zoo's future souvenir shop might not even need to stock up on plushies…

Finally, after the last draw, a different notification appeared, "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Protective Potion]!"

In a glass vial, a golden, sunshine-colored mysterious liquid flowed, emitting a warm and soothing aura.

[Protective Potion]: Once consumed by an animal, it permanently enhances their recovery and immunity to diseases. (The larger the body size, the weaker the effect)

Fang Ye subconsciously asked the system, "Can this Protective Potion be used by humans?"

"Yes, but the effect is very small."

"Alright then."

Fang Ye shrugged his shoulders and put the potion back into the space.

After all, his family was quite healthy and didn't really need it.

The practicality of the Protective Potion was still very high. Like before the transmigration, the original owner was helpless and anxious because a macaque was sick and couldn't be cured, and it was only resolved by urgently contacting veterinarians from other zoos.

If there had been a Protective Potion available at the time, it would have made things much easier.

It reduced the possibility of animals tragically dying from diseases.

…

The next day.

Fang Ye went to check on the progress of the new tiger area construction. The workers had already taken down more than half of the iron cages, and the concrete ground he loathed was been broken into ravines by the bulldozer, revealing the original yellow soil beneath in a bustling scene.

The efficiency was undeniable!

Next, he patrolled around the zoo and took the opportunity to live stream for his viewers.

The day passed peacefully.

"Director! You've got a package, should I send it over to you?"

Gatekeeper Lei called.

"My package?"

"Yes, a wooden crate."

Fang Ye was slightly startled, then quickly realized it must be the white Bengal tiger cub reward from the mission that had arrived!

Instantly excited, he said, "Please handle it with care and send it to my office. Actually, never mind, I'll come to get it myself!"

Moments later, he arrived at the gatekeeper's booth, panting. After thanking Lei, he carefully carried the crate back to his office.

After placing it on the table, he could finally settle down and inspect it.

The wooden crate was about the size of the most common beverage carton, seeming sturdy, with a "Planet Zoo" game icon sprayed in green environmentally friendly paint, and a latch securely closed on the lid.

Fang Ye pondered for a long time how to open the wooden crate, and finally, underneath the latch, he found a depression shaped like a fingerprint.

"Don't tell me it's a fingerprint lock?"

He tried pressing his finger onto it, and with a "click," the latch automatically sprung open!

Wisps of faint white smoke emerged from the gaps in the lid and quickly dissipated.

"Shocked! It really is high-tech. And what's this white smoke?"

"A special gas that puts living beings into a hibernation-like sleep, making transport easier," explained Lei.

Fang Ye scratched his head, "This is basically a sci-fi movie cryo-pod."

He lifted the lid.

Inside, the bottom of the crate was padded with a cushion and topped with a layer of soft, yellow towel.

A pure white tiger cub lay curled on the towel, eyes closed, soundly asleep.
