I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 10: 10 The Tiger Turns into a Spirit!



In the tiger enclosure!

Fang Ye didn't rush to clean up but instead set the bucket on the ground and gently patted Jiaojiao's head like a homeroom teacher would a student, and even gave her fluffy cheeks a rub.

His tone was encouraging and praising, "Good girl! You're the best, aren't you?"

Fang Ye gestured to Lan Li to come closer. Lan Li guessed what he meant and nervously approached, bringing the phone's camera up against the railing to capture a clearer shot.

Jokes even started in the barrage of comments.

"Boss, you left your photographer behind!"

"The photographer should go in too!"

"I'm not going in there!" Lan Li protested weakly.

"Hm? The photographer is a girl?"

"Show us your face, girl!"

Hearing this, Fang Ye laughed, "Everyone, stop teasing my assistant! Actually, Jiaojiao is a gentle and cute tiger; don't be afraid of her!"

As he spoke, he bent down, opened his arms to embrace Jiaojiao around her wide neck, and affectionately rubbed the soft white fur on her cheeks.

"Jealous! I want to pet the big cat like that too!"

"Although I'm jealous, I'd rather just watch it through the screen. I'd be scared to actually touch it!"

"Still, you should be careful for your safety, Director!"

Fang Ye then scratched Jiaojiao's chin and lovingly pecked her forehead, "Jiaojiao, am I right? Tell the viewers, are you not a sweet and gentle good girl? Mua!"

Jiaojiao, receiving a highly skilled massage, was so comfortable that her eyes were half-closed. When he scratched her chin, she even lifted her neck voluntarily and involuntarily leaned towards his body.

If it weren't for Fang Ye's leg supporting her, she would have definitely fallen over.

She was like Wahaha's younger brother—totally relaxed and pleased!

She showed a great deal of trust and affection.

"Roar!"

To the viewers' amazement, right after Fang Ye finished speaking, Jiaojiao let out a roar as if to echo him.

"Hahaha, do you like me?"

"Hurm~"

The comments exploded instantly!

"Holy shit, this tiger is so smart; it can understand the Director's words!"

"Buddies, this is not the same tiger I've seen in other zoos!"

"Director is awesome! Too awesome!"

"My roommate asked me why I'm kneeling to watch the stream, I pointed at the screen, and now he's also kneeling beside me watching!"

"Druid" rewarded with a shrimp ball!

As soon as one person sent a gift, there was a second, then a third.

The reason they hadn't sent gifts before was because they were too engrossed and forgot.

They sincerely believed such exciting content deserved a round of rewards!

"Study Hard Today" rewarded with a rice ball!

"Yunlan's Tail" rewarded with a rocket!

Whoosh!

In the airspace of the live stream, the flame from the tail of the rocket shone brightly as it slowly moved across.

"Yunlan's Tail" sent a rocket in the "Linhai Zoo" live stream. Come and check it out, everyone!

Lan Li's eyes widened in surprise; though she didn't stream often, she knew that a rocket cost 500 yuan, which was equivalent to the zoo selling 50 tickets!

Of course, they didn't earn that much in reality.

She thanked softly, "Thank you for the rocket, boss!"

Yunlan's Tail: "This is the first time I've seen a tiger and a person get along so harmoniously. This is what I imagine a zoo should be like! I hope the Director will show us more of the zoo, and I will visit in person when I have the chance!"

Because of the rocket's promotional effect, many new viewers poured into the live stream, making it much livelier all of a sudden.

"Is this an outdoor live stream of a zoo? Why are the man and the tiger together?"

"Am I seeing this right? The host is scratching the tiger's itch, and the tiger seems to be enjoying it?"

"Shocked, honey come look at Druid!"

Although Jiaojiao seemed to be enjoying it, Fang Ye enjoyed petting her just as much.

But there was still work to do.

He took out a dustpan and broom from the bucket, "Come on, Jiaojiao, move aside, let me clean up this place for you!"

Jiaojiao seemed to know what was coming and stepped aside two meters away on her own.

"Oh my God, isn't she so well-behaved! Jiaojiao is so sensible, even knows to move to the side by herself."

"Yeah, feels just like a considerate little daughter."

"The black patterns are so beautiful, I've fallen for Jiaojiao! Really want to visit the zoo director's animal zoo in person."

"Hey, look she's turned her head around, she's looking at the camera! That expression is so goofy and adorable."

"Smile for us, Jiaojiao!"

It was an interesting situation, just a tiger staring at the camera while a person was cleaning behind her, with no interaction going on, yet the netizens were still watching with great interest.

Soon, as soon as Fang Ye swept up the tiger droppings and a few leftover bones, the task of cleaning the enclosure was finished.

He sat down, rubbed Jiaojiao's head, and smiled at the camera, "How's that, friends? Did it satisfy your curiosity, is cleaning a tiger's enclosure really that simple?"

The comments couldn't help but tease.

"I don't believe you for a second!"

"Let someone else try it! See if the tiger is as obedient and well-behaved."

"Who are you? I'm here to see the tiger."

"Wow, the director can actually talk to tigers! Newcomers, show some respect."

"Is it really that mystical?"

Lan Li pointed to the phone, "Director, someone just sent a rocket..."

Fang Ye's eyes lit up, and he made a solemn salute, "Thank you, friend, for the rocket! Your generous tip will help make the zoo even more beautiful and I thank you on behalf of the animals!"

His main reason for live streaming was to increase popularity, and he hadn't actually planned to make money from it.

Thinking of this, Fang Ye opened the system panel for a look, and was immediately shocked!

The popularity value had exceeded 2000!

He could do two draws now.

But now wasn't a good time for a draw, so Fang Ye temporarily set aside his burning excitement and answered the enthusiastic questions from the netizens.

"Director, does your zoo have only one tiger?"

"Same question, I was wondering about this just now."

"It looks so lonely, it really tugs at the heartstrings."

"Hmm, we currently have only one tiger. Linhai Zoo is a very old zoo, and it used to be okay, but in recent years, the business hasn't been good. We can't afford the expenses for animals and staff, so we transferred some animals to other zoos," he briefly explained.

The past was past, and under his management, Linhai Zoo was bound to become lively and vibrant once more.

"That's too pitiful, come on brothers, let's tip and help the director crowdsource funds to buy a few tigers!"

"Haha! Just wondering, how much does a tiger cost?"

"I heard somewhere that a tiger costs from a hundred thousand to several hundred thousand."

"That seems rather affordable?"

Fang Ye glanced at the discussion in the comments and explained gently, "Actually, it's not that expensive. An Amur tiger now costs about forty to fifty thousand, but that's the transfer price between zoos.

Tigers, including other protected animals, are very precious. Their value includes but isn't limited to being enjoyed for viewing, inspiring people's artistic creativity, researching their status and role in the ecosystem, and so on. They are priceless treasures and can't simply be measured in terms of monetary price."

"Wow, the director knows so much!"

"Don't understand but feels impressive!"

"Come on, if you feel the positive vibes, show your positivity on the public screen!"

"Currently there's only one tiger?" Some sharp-eyed netizens caught his phrasing, "Does that mean the director already has plans to bring in new tigers?"

"I like Big Eye! Bring in a few more, so Jiaojiao won't be lonely."

Thinking of his zoo soon welcoming a lovely little White Tiger, Fang Ye couldn't help but smile, as if he were a happy farmer seeing a bountiful harvest, "Hehe, that's right! Hit the follow button, and I'll inform you guys as soon as the new member arrives!"
