Four Great Divine Beasts!
It sounds very attractive.
Fang Ye smiled and said, "Don't say it, we really could do something about it! Maybe some visitors would come specifically to check in."
The Azure Dragon is just a green snake, we can get a reptile house and raise a big green snake. The Vermilion Bird now basically appears alongside the Four Divine Beasts, and when singled out, it's more often the phoenix that comes to mind, although the two figures are actually quite similar.
The bird species closest to the legendary image of the phoenix, including macaws, peafowl, golden pheasants, etc., are already in the zoo, meaning we've half completed the Four Great Divine Beasts.
...
Back in the zoo, Fang Ye asked Lin Ying to come over and check the health of the Asian forest tortoise.
At that moment, Tortoise's head was still retracted into its shell, its eyes cautiously sizing up Lin Ying and Fang Ye from outside, but it seemed a bit more relaxed than when it was surrounded by a crowd at the vegetable market.
Though the Asian forest tortoise is big, its nature is rather shy and timid!
Some people have misconceptions about tortoises, thinking that if you put your finger in front of their head, they will bite, associating it with pain. However, it's the soft-shelled turtles or the bad-tempered snapping turtles that bite at the sight of fingers.
In the case of the Asian forest tortoise, if you put your finger in front of its head, it will not bite but will retract its head in fear.
Lin Ying donned disposable blue gloves, squatted down, and admired the tortoise's dark black carapace, exclaiming, "Wow, director, you went out to buy vegetables and managed to pick up such a big tortoise, you're really lucky!"
"It was the tortoise's lucky day to have met me! There was already a boss ready to buy it, talking about raising it in a fish tank with goldfish. Isn't that a joke?"
Lin Ying laughed so hard she doubled over, with tears streaming from laughter, "Tortoise is indeed lucky! Let's weigh it first."
Meng Shi had gone back to take care of the alpacas by this time. The 50-pound tortoise was still quite heavy, so Fang Ye and Lin Ying each grabbed one side and lifted Tortoise onto the scale.
The data showed on the scale was 25.63kg!
Lin Ying then took a tape measure and asked while measuring, "Director, have you thought of a name for Tortoise?"
Fang Ye stroked his chin, "How about Little Black?"
"Wow, isn't it inappropriate to name such a big tortoise Little Black?"
"In DOTA, the Tiny is called Little Little, isn't it endearing? The contrast is cute, right? Or should it be called Blackie, Bootie, Landie, Tortoise? Hmm... Let's stick with Little Black." And so, the name of this Asian forest tortoise was happily decided.
Fang Ye needed to maintain his energy to keep the affable skill going, so he took a few sips of spiritual water in between. Seeing Little Black poking its head out as if it was curious, he also gave some to it.
After removing the surface parasites, they washed the bitten areas clean. Lin Ying then took out the Erythromycin Ointment and applied it evenly, and with that, the treatment was considered complete. Both breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Ye leaned on his forehead, feeling dizzy.
Even with the spiritual water to replenish his energy, maintaining the skill for such a long time was still a heavy burden on him.
Lin Ying wiped the sweat off her brow and laughed, "Phew, done! For the internal parasites, we'll just administer medication slowly over time."
Right!
Fang Ye suddenly remembered that he had received a deworming pill from the [Attack of the Zoo 1] quest rewards, which would come in handy right now.
The system-produced deworming pill was powerful yet mild on the animals, capable of clearing parasites in a short time without harming their health. He had initially thought it useless, but now it seemed rather valuable.
He'd find time to feed it to Little Black.
Speaking of which, after rescuing Little Black, [Attack of the Zoo 3] was also released.
[Mission: Attack of the Zoo 3]
Description: It's not enough to just have visitors; they must feel the animals' charm!
Requirement: Visitors are amazed by the animals 30,000 times. (0/30,000)
Reward: 1,000 green leaf coins, donation box*1]
Thirty thousand times might seem a lot, but a visitor will definitely be amazed more than once during a trip to the zoo. They might even be amazed several times just looking at one exhibit.
With a few hundred visitors each day, it shouldn't take long to complete.
And the donation box is a very important facility in Planet Zoo! In the game, a significant portion of the revenue comes from visitor donations.
A system-created donation box is certainly not just for show.
Donation box: Donate, donate, you must donate. Without donations, the animals go hungry, the animal keepers' wages can't be paid, and what future would the zoo have?
Effect: Makes visitors feel an irresistible urge to donate.
Great stuff!
Speaking of which, tomorrow's the weekend. I wonder how many visitors will come? Fang Ye couldn't help but look forward to it.
