In the zoo, Yang Lin could barely contain his smile as the payment notifications kept coming in.
Thanks to the hard work of his two capable assistants, the zoo's revenue had exceeded 500,000 yuan in just one day.
This meant they had sold 10,000 online tickets in a single day.
And these numbers were still climbing rapidly.
However, this also revealed a major problem - the zoo might be understaffed.
Today alone, over a thousand visitors had entered the park, and this was just on a regular workday.
Who knows how many visitors would flood in during weekends and holidays when tourists from other cities arrive.
If he continued managing everything by himself, he'd eventually work himself to death.
Thinking about this, he quickly opened his phone and found a nearby college student part-time job group chat.
But as soon as he joined the group, he realized something was off.
This kind of part-time work wasn't quite what he had in mind.
Upon this realization, he hastily left the group chat.
"Damn! Times really have changed, are they this open about it now?"
"Looks like I'll need to find another way."
If he had enough time, recruiting people would be simple enough, but time was exactly what he didn't have.
While he was racking his brain, his attention was caught by a message in another group chat.
The message was from a chat group called "One Loving Family."
The group members were all relatives from the Yang family.
The message came from a member with the nickname "Peaceful Years" and a lotus flower avatar.
"Uncles and aunts, could anyone recommend me a job? If I keep being idle at home, Yang Cuilan might kick me out."
Reading this message, Yang Lin immediately pictured a tall, graceful young woman.
This young woman was Chen Kexin, the eldest daughter of his aunt Yang Cuilan.
By family hierarchy and age, Chen Kexin should call him "cousin brother," and if he remembered correctly, she had studied veterinary medicine.
At this thought, Yang Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened a chat window.
"Kexin, your cousin brother has a position available if you'd like to try it."
"Indoor work, weekends off, no overtime, full benefits, 4000 yuan monthly salary."
As soon as he sent his message, Chen Kexin, with her middle-aged avatar, replied immediately.
"Really, cousin? What exactly would I be doing?"
"The job is actually very simple, just handling ticket sales and verification, with some occasional miscellaneous duties."
Yang Lin replied after some thought.
He expected Chen Kexin to hesitate, but she agreed right away.
"Sure, sure! When can I start, cousin?"
"Well... if possible, you could start tomorrow."
"Perfect! Send me the location, I'll definitely be there tomorrow! I'm going to tell Yang Cuilan I found a job right now!"
Seeing Chen Kexin's enthusiastic acceptance, Yang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.
The ticket seller position was sorted out, now he needed to handle security.
With fewer visitors, this position wasn't crucial, but it became essential when crowds grew larger.
If visitors got into fights, or if visitors fought with animals, or if visitors tried to beat him up - all these situations would require security intervention.
Of course, what Yang Lin worried about most was visitors trying to beat him up.
Without adequate fighting capability, it might be hard to stop such incidents.
"Should I go find some elderly men from the street to work as security guards?"
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Yang Lin quickly shook his head.
Having elderly men as security guards could be disastrous - if anything went wrong, it could ruin the zoo, and compensation wouldn't even begin to cover it.
While he was still unable to think of good candidates for security, he suddenly heard dog barking from the wolf enclosure nearby.
Hearing these barks, a bold idea formed in his mind.
"Right, there's no rule saying security guards have to be human - why not dogs?"
With this thought, he quickly walked toward the wolf enclosure.
Called a wolf enclosure, it had actually only housed one injured old wolf when the zoo was first established.
After the old wolf passed away, it became a shelter for stray dogs.
Currently, it housed 8 stray dogs his father had taken in. Usually quiet, they were now suddenly barking.
When Yang Lin reached the enclosure, he quickly discovered the reason for all the commotion.
A black and white Border Collie was lazily playing with a dog bowl while the other seven dogs appeared ready for war.
Seeing their behavior, Yang Lin knew this must be the Border Collie's doing.
He had previously noticed this unusually intelligent Border Collie often stirred up trouble between the other dogs to pass time.
This time was surely no different, so he immediately called out:
"Li Goudan, are you messing with Li Gousheng again? Keep this up and you won't get any dog food tomorrow."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, the Border Collie who had been playing with the bowl immediately came running over.
"Yang, Yang, let me out quick! I'm about to burst - I absolutely must poop under that tree over there today, and nobody can stop me!"
Naturally, Li Goudan was the Border Collie's name.
And Li Gousheng was the name of one of the Huskies.
As for why all the animals in the zoo had the surname Li, it was said to be because Yang Lin's grandfather's love rival had been surnamed Li, so all the zoo's animals were given that surname.
Hearing the Border Collie's words, Yang Lin showed no surprise and simply opened the enclosure gate. Li Goudan happily bounded out.
In the next moment, it rushed to a large tree and relieved itself.
Seeing its satisfied expression, Yang Lin showed a puzzled look.
"Goudan, why do you always have to go under this specific tree? Aren't other trees good enough?"
Hearing Yang Lin's question, the Border Collie gave him a mischievous look.
"You don't understand anything. Gousheng always buries his leftover bones under this tree."
Yang Lin: ......
Though both were dogs, Border Collie Li Goudan was clearly more devious.
Remembering his original purpose, Yang Lin cast a Light of Insight on Li Goudan.
Instantly, its hidden talents were revealed.
[Super Intelligence (Golden Talent) normally requires 5 talent points to activate, but due to this species' special nature, only 1 talent point is needed to activate this talent]
After reading just the first talent, Yang Lin knew he didn't need to see the rest.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
