He reached out and touched nothing, only to be glared at by the alpaca.
Tang Xiaoxin wasn't upset, instead, she found it quite amusing, "This alpaca really has some personality!"
She took out her phone and started snapping pictures of it.
Fang Ye explained, "This alpaca is called Brother Aotian! Not only does it look bizarre, but it also has a foul temper. And another thing, it hates having its picture taken the most, it spits at people whenever they do."
Tang Xiaoxin's happy expression instantly froze!
Holding her phone, she looked at Fang Ye with a look of dismay, "Ah, I've already taken some..."
Fang Ye was also somewhat taken aback, you've been quite diligent with your picture-taking!
Turning to look at Brother Aotian, it was now fuming with rage, its eyes turning triangular and its upper lip angrily jutting out, revealing a row of white teeth below.

It snorted loudly and shook its head.
Just now, it had walked away a couple of steps, and now it came back, teeth gritted, with increasingly fast strides!
As it walked, it let out a high-pitched "baa-aa-aa-aa! baa-aa-aa-aa-aa!"
The upper and lower jaws clacked fiercely against each other twice, the throat heaved, and its cheeks suddenly puffed out.
"Ah!" Tang Xiaoxin finally realized what was happening and quickly closed her eyes and covered her face.
Fang Ye, of course, wouldn't just watch the little girl get sprayed in the face with saliva; in a moment of quick thinking, he remembered the skill he got from the gift pack!
[Deterrence]!
An invisible pressure suddenly appeared, causing Brother Aotian to shiver unexpectedly.
A misconception arose in its heart as if it felt like it would face total annihilation the next moment if it dared to spray.
But the attack was already charged and couldn't be held back.
"Tui!"
Brother Aotian abruptly turned its head to one side, and with the force of the blast, its lips flared outward, spitting out saliva like a widespread fountain!
The saliva of an alpaca is not like human spit; its main component is material regurgitated from the stomach...
Stomach acid mixed with undigested grass bits, a pale yellow and slightly sticky, almost like the runs from a diarrhea.
The smell was indescribable, like sour phlegm that had been fermenting underground for a thousand years.
Fang Ye's face twisted in disgust, as he covered his nose with one hand and breathed a sigh of relief with the other, "Good thing it didn't get on us!"
Tang Xiaoxin also opened her eyes, distressed to the point of tears, "Wuu wuu wuu, it's so stinky, this clothing is ruined, Mama is going to kill me... Eh? Eh?"
How should these green leaf coins be used? Should he build one large exhibit, or several smaller ones?
Fang Ye was a bit torn; he really wanted to build a 2,000-square-meter super-large wolf exhibit!
Wolves are typical social animals, and to see them fully express their natural behavior, the group needs to be large enough, at least around ten or so.
Charcoal and Mizzle were a perfect pair; wouldn't it be marvelous to have them breed a litter of wolf pups?
But in captivity, breeding animals isn't so easy!
For instance, say both wolves were in a good mood today and ready to get intimate.
Then, suddenly, a showy elderly man stops in front of the wolf enclosure, his eyes shining as if he'd discovered a new world: "Wow, what are you two doing there?"
Wolves: ...
This meant providing them with a sheltered environment so they wouldn't be interrupted by any slight disturbance.
Moreover, when wolves are about to have offspring, they need to dig burrows. A burrow ensures safety and also strengthens their desire to mate.
After giving animals an environment as close to natural as possible, breeding becomes smooth and natural.
"Eh, if I spend all the green leaf coins on the wolf exhibit, the enclosures for other animals will have to wait a long time, but if I build a smaller one, only four to five hundred square meters, once Charcoal and Mizzle start having babies and the wolf pups grow up, this little space doesn't seem like it'll be enough for them to play, and rebuilding is such a hassle..."
Fang Ye found himself in a dilemma.
But he soon decided to set aside the idea of the large wolf exhibit for now and consider the other exhibits first.
The red panda exhibit was the top priority! After all, they have a high cuteness factor.
Given the small size of red pandas, their exhibit shouldn't be too big, somewhere between sixty to a couple of hundred square meters would be just right.
Not all exhibits benefit from being larger; if the red panda exhibit were sprawling thousands of square meters packed with dense trees, then the red pandas could easily hide anywhere, leaving visitors dizzy and unable to find them, definitely cursing the idiot who designed it.
He opened up the sand table, and the projection of the zoo appeared before him.
Fang Ye took out the planning map he made last time and started thinking.
According to the design, visitors should be able to follow a path that leads them through the entire zoo, so there needs to be a sense of hierarchy in the arrangement of the exhibits.
It's like going to a restaurant; first, tea is served with some nuts and seeds to pass the time.
Then come the appetizers—refreshing and appetizing to stimulate the mood, making everyone ready to chat and laugh.
Next are the stir-fried veggies—light and easy on the stomach.
Then the main courses and substantial dishes follow, tasty and filling, satisfying to eat.
In between, some side dishes are interspersed, followed by fruits and desserts at the end.
Exhibits like the tiger one belong to the substantial dishes and should be placed a little later on; otherwise, if placed at the entrance, visitors see the most exciting part first and lack enthusiasm for the rest.
