Super Zoo

Chapter 303 How to Become Good Friends with Alpacas

"What on earth is this?" the leader from Shanghai Zoo asked, puzzled.

The technician, who was younger and more familiar with online live streaming, explained, "Viewers can spend money to buy props to give to the host, and then, depending on the value of the props, the host and the zoo split the earnings."

"Ah? There are people who have so much money they don't know how to spend it? Isn't that just foolish?" The older leader couldn't understand this business model at all. After a moment of confusion, he asked, "So how much for these mantis shrimps and monkeys?"

The technician quickly opened the 'Live Platform Usage Instructions' next to him.

It clearly stated that the live streaming platform was hosted by Yangchuan Zoo and operated by Taoyuan Entertainment Company.

After the gifts are converted into money, the entertainment company takes 30% as essential operational costs and service fees. The rest, after deducting taxes, goes entirely to the host when given to the host; when given to the animals, it is used to improve their living conditions, which means it goes to the zoo.

Specific prices:

'Mantis Shrimp' one for 0.1 yuan; 'Fortune Cat' one for one yuan, Hip-hop Monkey ten yuan, Grey Wolf fifty, Unlucky Bear a hundred, White-forehead Tiger five hundred, Lion King a thousand.

And the 'Prehistoric Colossal Crocodile' incredibly reached a shocking five thousand yuan each!

'The Most Glamorous Super Monster of Them All' was seriously twisted, costing ten thousand yuan each.

"Are you kidding? Not to mention ten thousand yuan each, even that hundred yuan Unlucky Bear won't have any buyers, right? This is basically throwing money into the water!" the leader said in disbelief.

Their generation had grown up in hard times; even though they had become leaders and their financial situations had vastly improved, their consumption concepts were entirely different from those of young people today.

While watching, they heard Mr. Han say on the screen, "I've found a very interesting guy, let's call him over for everyone to see..."

All they saw was him take out a whistle, put it in his mouth, and blow hard. A small black dot appeared in the sky in the distance, approaching the screen at high speed.

With a swoosh, a majestic Haidong Qing landed steadily on the railing in front of Mr. Han.

"A Haidong Qing that seems to also know how to greet people," Mr. Han said, and indeed, the Haidong Qing, appearing quite humanlike, raised one of its white-feathered claws and shook it at the camera, though its eyes remained defiant, looking as though it didn't take any of these humans seriously at all.

"Woo woo woo..." A fat bear, looking downcast with its arms hanging, walked past the bottom of the screen, followed by a few little bees chasing and biting it,

"Mr. Chen sent one Unlucky Bear to the 'Haidong Qing'..."

"We've got a tycoon over here!"

"Tycoon, give us a Lion King!"

"Tycoon, let's be friends..."

A flurry of messages immediately flooded the chat box.

"Thanks to Mr. Chen for his support. I suggest that if you want to give gifts, give them to these animals to support animal conservation and improve their living conditions," Mr. Han mentioned offhandedly before introducing some common knowledge about the habits of Haidong Qing, then said, "This Haidong Qing also has a killer move; it seems it can also catch fish..."

In the video, the Haidong Qing flapped its wings and shot towards Shuijun Lake like an arrow, barely touching the surface before soaring skyward again with a large carp wriggling in its claws.

"Awooo!" With a tiger's roar, a tycoon indeed sent a White-forehead Tiger.

...

In Xiaomei's live streaming room.

It really was just a room. Xiaomei, who seemed to be a homebody at heart, hadn't stepped out even during the daytime, but instead huddled inside her room at Whisperwind Pavilion's second floor, disheveled, wearing pajamas.

"Ah!" Xiaomei yawned widely, rubbing her eyes and lazily said, "Hello everyone..."

Jiao Shou said seriously, "As you can see, alpacas are naturally timid creatures. So, if you want to befriend them, you must first emit feelings of goodwill, like what I'm about to do next..."

After saying that, he changed his expression in an instant, putting on a very lewd smile, and laughed loudly at the alpacas not too far away, "Come on, come here, I promise I won't beat you to death!"

The alpacas were immediately stunned!

The camera followed Jiao Shou as he moved forward, and he proudly made a scissor gesture to the camera, "Just like I said, after promising I won't beat them to death, they really felt my goodwill. As I kept approaching, the alpacas showed no intention of attacking me!"

Soon, Jiao Shou reached the group of alpacas and said to the camera, "Now, let's move on to the second step of befriending alpacas! Let them know not only am I not a threat but also their friend!"

"How will they know that?" someone asked in the comments.

"It's simple!" Jiao Shou puffed up his chest, "Next, I will imitate another one of the legendary four creatures. This way, they'll think I'm also a mythical creature and one of their own, and hence accept me."

After saying this, he turned towards the alpacas and started making strange calls, pinching his throat, "Yā méi dié! Yā méi dié! Mòtuo Mòtuo Yā méi dié!" While calling out, he also frantically rubbed his hands all over his own body.

Suming, who was watching the live stream, couldn't help but spurt a mouthful of water onto Shen Yan opposite him, soaking his face. Even though he already knew the plot, he couldn't hold back his laughter at Jiao Shou's performance.

It wasn't just Suming, the entire live stream room burst into laughter. The gifts flowed incessantly – Mantis Shrimps, Maneki-nekos, too many to count.

In the zoo, visitors near the Alpaca House were startled by someone's loud calling and wondered what was happening. Under the bright sun and clear sky, they thought the zoo was shooting some adult-only film.

They instinctively turned to look and dozens of gazes landed on a bald head who was ***ing loudly.

The visitors weren't too shocked since they were farther away, but the alpacas nearby were utterly baffled. They stretched their necks, looking at Jiao Shou in bewilderment.

"You see, they now think of me as another one of the four legendary creatures: Yā méi dié! So, now, I can touch them and become good friends with them!"

Finally, Jiao Shou stopped screaming, nodded in satisfaction, and reached out to touch the belly of a female alpaca.

Most quadruped animals like cows and sheep have a row of nursing tools on their bellies... and Jiao Shou's hand was reaching right there.

"As a good friend, I'll just milk a little. I'm sure they won't mind," Jiao Shou justified his shameless action.

At that moment, the female alpaca that was about to be touched finally had enough. Like a human sniffling, it sucked in through its nose with a 'huff huff' sound.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfffpfffpfff!"

A spray of mucus and saliva showered Jiao Shou in an instant.

A subtitle appeared: "Unfortunately, today's teaching seems to have been unsuccessful. The friendship turned over as easily as the flipping of a boat. Jiao Shou is soaked!"

Thus that previous scene occurred: a prehistoric giant crocodile worth five thousand appeared, leaping out of the screen.

Whenever someone gifts such a super gift, it is announced in all live stream rooms. Jiao Shou's room suddenly surged with thousands of people, sending its ranking to number one instantly.

In Mr. Han's room, Haidong Qing was streaming how to eat fish, with only the skeleton of a big carp remaining. Mr. Han had moved a rocking chair from Whisperwind Pavilion, leaning on it and watching with a smile as Haidong Qing ate the fish.

A fan suddenly commented, "Jiao Shou's room has surpassed us in total gifts!"

"Push it up, push it up!"

"Calling all tycoons, it's time to show your power!"
