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.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
