I have a wildlife zoo

Seeing Chocolate flying off into the night, vanishing in an instant, Fang Ye felt both relieved and a little sad.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, he really liked Chocolate!

The smile that crept onto his lips as he remembered Chocolate devouring meat ravenously reflected in the moonlight, as he softly said, "Chocolate, you must survive well out there!"

Just then, a "ding" sounded!

The long-silent system spoke up again: "The zoo has rescued and released a wild animal for the first time. While it was just one, it's a meaningful step forward on the path of animal conservation!

Congratulations, Host. You've obtained a rare animal clue *1!"

"Eh!"

Fang Ye was stunned for a moment, then hastened to check it out.

[Animal: ???]

[Location: ???]

[Protection time: 1 year (during this time, the animal won't be in any life-threatening danger)]

[Note: Do not search only when lost, do not wish for hope only when endangered, and do not lament in vain only when extinct.

Reward: ???]

This animal clue was clearly different from the previous ones!

Not only was it referred to as a "rare animal clue," but the note also carried an urgency.

Was a certain species facing the crisis of extinction?

Fang Ye couldn't help but frown slightly, worrying inside.

Seeing him standing there distracted for a long time, especially since Chocolate had been released and was gone, Lan Li came over.

Sensing his mood was down, she softly said, "Director, are you thinking about Chocolate?"

Fang Ye snapped back to reality and said with a smile, "Something like that."

Lan Li, wanting to cheer him up, took his hand and said a bit shyly, "It's okay. Even if Chocolate isn't here, I am! I can always be with you!"

"Ha ha!"

Fang Ye laughed at her words.

From the sidelines, Lin Ying was feeling jealous: "Wow, Director, you're really flaunting your affection!"

"Why don't you get a boyfriend too? With so many excellent single guys in our zoo, why not consider it? Tell me who you like, and I can create some opportunities for you to meet."

Fang Ye joked, then took Lan Li's hand. "Let's go, we should head back!"

Lan Li nodded obediently: "Mm!"

...

The next day, Fang Ye discussed the condition of the animals with the animal keepers during the morning meeting.

Lü Jiamu, as the leader of the Primate Zone, reported that apart from the macaques, the ring-tailed lemurs seemed to have become restless recently, and the smell in the back shed had grown considerably stronger.

November to December is the mating season for ring-tailed lemurs! It seemed like the stink wars were about to start soon.

Compared to macaques, ring-tailed lemurs were somewhat more reassuring— their fights weren't as intense.

In the morning, another piece of news arrived: Linhai Zoo had been approved by the Youth League Committee to recruit volunteers.

The announcement, which had been prepared in anticipation, was released that very day!

...

Linhai Zoo enthusiasts group.

"Fox" joined the group.

Daigo: "Welcome, welcome!"

Then he sent a photo of a red panda sticking out its tongue adorably.

The popular emojis in the group were all made from photos of animals they took at the zoo.

However, the newcomer seemed to prefer lurking in silence, and after joining, sank without even bubbling once.

Lili sent a photo of Jiaojiao, followed by a picture of a girl with braided pigtails and blond hair, wearing a white shirt with the character "Jiao" on the chest.

"/Funny, drawn following Jiaojiao's image, how is it? The shirt is white because the Amur tiger's belly is white."

Dirty Hollywood Night commented: "The chest is a bit big. What should I do, I'm lost."

Lili: "What's wrong with Jiaojiao having a big chest?"

Daigo: "What's up? @Dirty Hollywood Night"

Dirty Hollywood Night: "Got confused in the taxi, only after I paid and got out did I realize I was at the wrong destination, he took me 20 kilometers extra, and this place is so remote there's not even a car."

Chunyu Jiangshanglai: "/Eating melon, complain, complain!"

Dirty Hollywood Night: "Ugh, I'm so annoyed. Now I'm calling a friend to pick me up, don't know how long it will be before I can get back."

Daigo: "As long as you're okay, bros, check this out!"

He then forwarded an article in the group: "Linhai Zoo is recruiting volunteers!"

"Feeding by visitors is a common phenomenon in zoos across the country. During holidays, some exhibit areas become hotspots for feeding. Some visitors play hide and seek with the animal keepers, acting obediently when caught but continuing to feed in a different spot!

Despite the zoo's efforts, it is still challenging to completely eliminate this phenomenon.

To comprehensively enhance the quality of visitors' civilized behavior in the zoo and raise awareness about respecting and loving animals, Linhai Zoo is now recruiting volunteers to carry out wildlife protection and educational activities during holidays, aiming to reduce the feeding of animals by visitors.

If you love animals, care about environmental protection, can't help but feel the urge to stop uncivilized behavior when at the zoo, and want to pass on the correct ideas about animal protection to more visitors, then come and be a volunteer at Linhai Zoo!

Volunteer service content: Providing direction to visitors, maintaining order, giving educational talks, and stopping uncivilized feeding behaviors by visitors.

Recruitment requirements: Love for animals, a spirit of teamwork, good communication skills, flexible availability, good physical fitness, and patience…

Volunteer benefits: Work meals and transportation subsidies are provided, priority participation in various events in the park, outstanding volunteers at the end of the year will be awarded certificates and souvenirs!

How to apply…"

Daigo: "Ha-ha, I'm definitely going to be a volunteer!"

Lili: "I'm a bit lazy, going there to play is fine, but being a real volunteer, I probably won't last~"

Mr. Lin: "Although Daigo is a severe second-branch ape and a fat otaku, he still has positive energy!"

Daigo: "???? Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"

Dirty Hollywood Night: "I'm afraid Daigo's physical fitness might not be up to it."

Daigo: "...Wuwuwu, you guys are bullying me."

Chunyu Jiangshanglai: "@Linhai's Wu Yanzu, Director, what's the specific time for the volunteer work? I'm free next weekend, can I volunteer then?"

On the matter of the zoo's volunteer recruitment, Fang Ye rarely bubbled up: "After you submit the application, we will have an interview, and volunteers will undergo group training before starting. Once accepted, we'll notify you."

"Oh~"

Fang Ye continued: "The most important thing for volunteers is enthusiasm and a heart for participation in environmental protection. There will be shift changes, with a morning and an afternoon shift, three hours each. If you want to come, you can as long as you can stick it out."

Daigo suddenly got cocky again: "Ha-ha, three hours is no problem! Since the Director said so, I'm signing up!"
