In a dark corner, a massive creature lay silently, crouching. Through the fading sunset glow, Yang Lin could barely make out that it was a bird - a large one.
As for its specific species, he couldn't quite tell.
Now he finally understood why Li Ziming had been so frightened. How could he not be scared when such a clearly predatory bird suddenly landed in his territory?
Just as Yang Lin was unsure what to do, the system's notification suddenly chimed.
"Ding! Injured Golden Eagle detected. Host, please begin treatment immediately."
"After successful treatment, host will receive one talent point."
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Yang Lin immediately understood.
"So it's a Golden Eagle, no wonder it's so large."
"But this is the city center, how did a Golden Eagle suddenly appear here?"
Despite his confusion, thinking of the system's reward, Yang Lin decided not to dwell on it for now.
"Li Ziming, stay here. I'll take it to treat its wounds."
As he spoke, Yang Lin placed Li Ziming on a nearby branch, then bent down and carefully picked up the severely injured Golden Eagle.
Thankfully it was badly wounded; if it had been healthy, Yang Lin might not have been able to handle it.
Carrying the eagle, he jogged quickly to the administrator's office.
As soon as he pushed open the door, a scream came from inside.
"Ah! You pervert, get out, get out!"
Hearing this voice, Yang Lin knew what was happening without looking and quickly pulled the door shut.
After a full five minutes, Chen Kexin emerged with a bright red face.
Before she could scold him, she noticed the Golden Eagle in Yang Lin's arms.
"Oh! What a huge bird!"
"Never mind that - aren't you studying veterinary medicine? Quick, check its condition and see if it can be saved."
Speaking urgently, Yang Lin pulled Chen Kexin into the nearby workroom.
After Chen Kexin thoroughly examined the Golden Eagle, her brows immediately furrowed.
"How strange, it seems to have been shot and injected with anesthetic."
"Shot?" Looking at the eagle's bleeding wing and its barely open eyes, Yang Lin immediately had a theory.
"I was wondering how a Golden Eagle suddenly appeared here - it must have been brought into the city by poachers."
"It probably used its last bit of strength to escape to our place."
"Are there still poachers in 2022?" Chen Kexin asked quickly after hearing Yang Lin's words.
"Of course there are. As long as there's profit to be made, people will do it in any era. Where do you think all the animals in my zoo came from?"
After saying this, Yang Lin glanced at the eagle's wounds again and turned to Chen Kexin:
"I have all the basic medicines here. Treat it quickly, and I'll give you a big red envelope when you're done."
At the mention of a big red envelope, Chen Kexin, who had been eager to get off work, immediately brightened up.
"You promised! I'll treat it right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Kexin had already started trimming the feathers around the eagle's wound.
Disinfection, debridement, hemostasis, medication, bandaging, and feeding medicine - the whole procedure took over half an hour.
The previously half-dead Golden Eagle gradually recovered after the treatment.
When it fully regained consciousness, the system's completion notification sounded in Yang Lin's mind.
Hearing this system prompt, Yang Lin let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thanks so much, Kexin. I'll definitely give you a big red envelope later. You can go home now, I'll cover your taxi fare."
"Hehe, it's what I should do. This is exactly why we study veterinary medicine."
"Since cousin is being so generous, I won't be polite. Bye, cousin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Kexin ran out.
Soon only Yang Lin and the Golden Eagle remained in the workroom.
Seeing no one else was around, Yang Lin addressed the eagle:
"How are you feeling? Any better?"
Though surprised it could understand Yang Lin's speech, the eagle still nodded.
"That's good. Let me ask you, were you injured by poachers?"
"How did you know? I barely managed to escape from those people."
At the mention of poachers, the eagle's eyes filled with hatred.
"Do you want revenge?" Yang Lin suddenly proposed.
"Of course!"
"Since you want revenge, how about we make a deal?" As Yang Lin said this, there was a hint of persuasion in his voice.
He had been intrigued from the moment he first saw this Golden Eagle.
After all, West Rainbow Zoo now had most types of animals, but raptors like the Golden Eagle were still notably absent.
The vast Bird Paradise had only Li Ziming, that foolish bird, making him too embarrassed to open it to visitors.
Now seeing this Golden Eagle, he naturally wanted to keep it.
"A deal? What kind of deal?"
"It's simple. I help you catch those poachers, and you stay in my zoo working for three years. After three years, I'll set you free. What do you think?"
"You can really help me catch those poachers?" The eagle seemed somewhat skeptical of Yang Lin's words.
However, facing the eagle's doubt, Yang Lin didn't directly answer this time, but instead cast a Light of Insight on it.
Immediately, the eagle's talent information appeared before him.
[Super Vision (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate, due to its inherent properties, only needs 1 talent point to activate]
[Super Endurance (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
[Super Speed (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
[Sky Sovereign (Golden Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]
[Eagle Soul (Legendary Talent) Requires 10 talent points to activate]
......
Looking at these magnificent talent attributes, Yang Lin was stunned.
Having all golden talents was impressive enough, but it even had a legendary talent that surpassed golden talents.
He had never seen talents of this caliber before; only this Golden Eagle possessed them.
This clearly showed how much stronger this wild Golden Eagle was compared to the weak and sickly animals in his zoo.
Of course, he knew that talents of this level were currently just something to admire.
Ten talent points - who knew how long it would take to accumulate that many.
However, just as he thought this, the system notification sounded again.
"Emergency mission issued: Bust the poaching organization and rescue trapped animals."
"Mission completion rewards: One random Golden Talent box, 5 Talent points."
