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!"

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."
