I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 391: Capybara Has Bloomed!

Today Panda Exhibit opens, and Fang Ye could be said to be running around like a headless chicken!

Despite looking suave in front of the television cameras, not only was he answering various questions from visitors and dealing with press interviews, he even had to detox with the reporters and take them on a tour of the pandas’ private quarters.

Due to the overwhelming number of visitors, the venue was bustling, and there were more than a few incidents of children getting separated from their parents.

When surveillance spotted any issues, they notified the volunteers and animal keepers, and the lost children were brought to the reception room in the office building, where broadcasts were made to find their parents.

The staff was extremely busy, volunteers had to prevent feeding, guide visitors, and were stretched too thin!

Zoo Director Fang had no choice but to join the fray himself, along with Lan Li soothing children, too preoccupied to check system notifications.

Some children, being older, realized there wasn’t much to worry about, remaining calm and bombarding Fang Ye with questions out of curiosity, while younger children, not seeing their parents, were panicking and crying incessantly.

"Mommy, mommy, where are you?"

"Wuuu wuuu... wuuu wuuu..."

At peak times, there were seven or eight kids in the reception room!

Fang Ye wished he could give each child a pacifier, but sadly his skills didn’t work on humans, otherwise, he might as well have opened a kindergarten.

He soothed the older ones by telling them stories about his interactions with animals, while Lan Li comforted the younger ones by bringing out cute animal plushies for them to play with.

When the parents heard the broadcast and found their children, they were very emotional, with some bursting into tears: "You child, don’t run off again, mommy was so worried!"

After hugging their children and calming down a bit, they repeatedly thanked Fang Ye, while he offered comforting words and tried to guide the angry parents scolding their children.

When the zoo finally closed for the day, he at last had a chance to take a break, and even with spiritual water to replenish his energy, he felt extremely tired.

Not physically tired, but mentally exhausted.

After finishing dinner, he lay down and browsed on his phone for a while.

He saw a message from the reporter Mi Jin: "Zoo Director Fang, congratulations! Your zoo’s news has made it to the provincial station."

"Haha, that’s great!"

There were also congratulatory messages from family and friends!

In the Zoo Practical Knowledge Group, some people @him, Fang Ye chatted and joked with the big shots for a bit, relaxing his mind before finally checking the system notifications.

"Ding! As the host meticulously constructs and develops, introducing an increasing variety of animals, Linhai Zoo becomes more and more prosperous and beautiful, its fame ever-growing, attracting countless visitors.

Today, the number of visitors has surpassed 10,000, a milestone worth celebrating! Congratulations, host, you have received a Mystery Gift Pack*1!"

"Wow, nice!"

Today came with an unexpected reward, and Fang Ye smiled broadly in delight.

The last Mystery Gift Pack was when he had recently taken over the zoo.

Back then, Tang Xiaoxin, the little girl, had seen his videos online and made a special trip to Linhai Zoo, connecting with it in an inseparable bond, and from that gift pack, he received Chestnut and Red Bean, two red pandas.

It felt like a very long time had already passed!

That old zoo which initially had just a few cats and dogs had undergone a complete transformation, and now even had pandas.

Reminiscing about the bygone days, Fang Ye smiled and opened the gift pack.

The notification sounded.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

"Congratulations, host, you have received 200 thousand green leaf coins!"

"Congratulations, host, you have received 4 capybaras!"

Fang Ye’s eyes widened in surprise, overjoyed, "Holy shit, that’s some good rewards!"

First off, green leaf coins, you could never have too many of those!

Initially with over 800 thousand green leaf coins left, the upcoming building plans would see him spending 300 thousand on the elephant exhibition area, 50,000 on the cherry blossom forest, and 100 thousand on the golden hair monkey and Japanese macaque exhibition areas combined, mainly because the golden hair monkey exhibit was a bit pricier.

The subsequent expansion of the exhibition areas, coupled with the construction of basic infrastructure such as supporting roads, fences, and restrooms at the zoo, cost another 200 thousand, and Fang Ye didn’t dare to spend any more for the time being!

Otherwise, after a few months, if the elephant exhibit couldn’t be completed due to a lack of green leaf coins, it would come to a standstill, considering that the transfer of elephants had already been arranged in advance.

With these 200 thousand green leaf coins, a few more exhibits could be built.

The capybara rewards were also quite good!

The capybara is the largest rodent in the world, essentially a giant rat, with adults reaching a size of one meter, almost the size of a small pig.

However, its appearance is quite different from that of a rat; it has an honest-looking face, large nostrils, a calm and composed expression, and an attitude of unwavering peace with the world.

In fact, capybaras are indeed mild-mannered and peaceful by nature, herbivorous, live near water, and hide in the water when danger approaches.

Because of their gentle nature, dumb and honest demeanor, and lack of temper, they are known as the best-natured and most sociable animals in the animal kingdom, dubbed the social kings of the animal world, able to befriend anyone.

There are many scenarios of capybaras peacefully coexisting with various animals circulating on the internet, where small dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, monkeys, turtles, birds, and other animals can all play riding on the backs of capybaras, truly showing an amazing level of good temperament!

This is also why capybaras have become internet sensations in the animal world.

"Delightful!"

Fang Ye chuckled to himself, the capybara’s arrival at the zoo should prove very popular with visitors.

The urgency of building an exhibit for the capybara wasn’t really a pressing matter because capybaras got along with most animals and could be placed in any exhibit that didn’t house predators.

Well... perhaps the tropical bird pavilion, then.

Wonder how much the popularity value is now, with the panda’s arrival?

Fang Ye opened the prize draw panel and was shocked to find that the popularity value had unexpectedly soared to 12 million!

"How did it increase so much?"

He had initially estimated it would only be five or six million.

Then he remembered, today’s news about the panda exhibit made it onto the provincial channel!

It must have increased a lot because of the news. In the following period, with so many visitors every day, the popularity value will surely skyrocket.

System notification: "Ding! Unused popularity value has exceeded 10 million, new functions ’100-Draw’ and ’Prize Statistics’ have been added!"

No need to mention the 100-Draw, while Prize Statistics classifies the prizes won from a single draw and specially displays the items.

Fang Ye felt this feature was quite user-friendly, as drawing each prize one by one with so many popularity values would be exhausting.

Curiously he asked, "System? Is there a guaranteed prize for the 100-Draw?"

System: "No!"

"Damn, I knew it."

Fang Ye muttered a complaint and mentally readied himself, 100-Draw!

Immediately a series of system notifications popped up, and a flood of items "whirred" into view.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Giant Panda plushie (Medium)!"

All kinds of animal plushies, badges, "Better luck next time!", and various special items!

With the 100-Draw, the drawing speed was incredibly fast.

Fang Ye noticed the addition of the giant panda among the plushies and took it out to admire for a while.

One style of the Giant Panda plushie was in a lying position, looking like a baby, and another was in a sitting position.

The proportions were cartoonishly cute, and the plushie felt soft and comfy to the touch!

Fluffy and soft, with an upturned mouth, it was smiling slightly.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
