"80% of the Hovercrafts are parked, do we have the show ready?" Jiang Song, the Zoo Staff asked through the System channel as he already started to present some simple advertisements at the top of the stadium as the rest of the hovercrafts were arriving.
"Alex the Gorilla seems to be doing fine and the System had mentally prepped him for his first fight. Are you sure this will go well? We have yet to do any rehearsals for this." Tong Wu, the Zoo Medic replied but the rest could only exactly answer her question.
"Last I checked, the Silverback Gorilla had been raring for a fight for some time. We can only direct it in a way that fate allows things to go smoothly." Kristin commented while she was taking in the vitals through her monitor screens.
"I cannot believe you would believe such a thing as fate." Tong Wu remarked casually but Kristin reminded her that if it was not fate, would they have come together to work on something so magical?
"That is quite true. While I cannot really tell my parents or colleagues about the experience nor my job here, this is just way too amazing. I did not regret leaving my old job for this.." Tong Wu replied.
"Same here. When Claire told us there's a new job offer even though it might not pay well, I honestly did not expect this." Jiang Song said and Tong Wu chipped in.
"Lol. She told me the same thing and the only thing she assured me was that promotion was guaranteed within a year which would allow me to earn more than usual."
"Really? For me and Kristin, she offered us what we wanted. And when I found out Jiang Song was in this as well, I thought it was a good time to have some reunion." Jiang Bo interrupted.
"Oh yeah. I heard the two of you were children of a zookeeper?" Tong Wu asked as she had already prepped what was needed for the show.
"Hmm. You could put it that way. Our father was very passionate in embarking us on the same journey as he had gone through…but I am not exactly the smartest fellow in the family." Jiang Song sighed a little, feeling that inferiority complex when compared to his brother.
"It's fine. In the end, we are here doing jobs that needed to be done. Besides, a Zoo Guard is not a simple feat. You need to learn about the animal's habits, keeping them in control as well as the visitors. I simply could not do that." Jiang Bo said and Jiang Song felt it was a jab that he was suited for more menial work.
"Ah Ah ah. No time for family drama right now. I will be sending Bear Cub One into the stream." Jin suddenly interrupted their System Channel's communications and they quickly returned to their supposed posts.
While most of the Hovercrafts were around the selected area, Jiang Song had already begun raising the System barriers around the habitat of Alex's home. It also gave Alex the Silverback Gorilla some time to condition himself that an opponent was coming to invade his area.
With the help of System, Kristin managed to send basic messages to some of the animals in Jin's zoo. Although they were initially shocked by the communication method, most of them had roughly understood that the place they lived in was not exactly their home. It might have looked like it but many of them knew that they were in a brand new environment where they were no longer masters of their place.
However, the constant subtle interaction from the Zoo Staff, especially Kristin had somehow managed to coerce them that this is their new home and they have to make do with it. After all, most of them were of decent grades when they were caught and the animals themselves possessed some form of intelligence.
So, when they felt their home suddenly shrunk from the raising of the System's barriers, they knew that they had to fight for their homes. And this applies especially to Alex where he started to beat his chest and snort loudly.
In the meantime, his opponent had been given messages that they had to attack the moment they teleported into the habitat. It was a do or die situation even though the Zoo Staff ensured that everything had been strictly regulated. But the animals do not have that kind of sensing at the moment. Perhaps, further into the growth of Jin's Cultivation Zoo, the animals would learn about the format of Animal Kaize and would not be so afraid.
For now, Lizzy, the East Siberian Brown Bear was scratching her claws at the bark of a tree to not just sharpen them but also prepare herself for the fight against an unknown opponent. Both animals had fought against animals higher grades than them based on the System's scan analysis and thus was used for the opening fight for the Animal Kaizer. Not to mention, both of these animals had also fought against wild monsters which made them formidable opponents for the opening match which Jin might consider throwing in a minion or two to battle against them if an opportunity arises.
But for now, all the Hovercrafts had arrived and parked at their allocated positions. Xia Mao and Jing Yu were surprised and amazed that the basement floor of the hovercraft they were onboard suddenly turned transparent. This allowed the people to have a full view of their habitat right beneath them and made the Pandawans understand why the basement was considered the premium seating area.
At their request, tables and chairs could be removed in an instant and their viewing equipment could be used to watch the entire fight from their allocated viewing area. In the meantime, some of the people who had money to spare, forked out more cash to rent the magic eyes installed in the starting match.
Screens emerged at their allocated slots and a slightly visible veil surrounded them to ensure that the rest would not be able to disturb them during their viewing. (As well as to prevent 'leeches' from watching the live broadcast.) However, the standard equipment provided along with the Premium Seating arrangement was more than enough as Xia Mao and Jing Yu happily enjoyed the view of the opening match.
