The Yunnan Golden Monkey: A Coup from the Monkey Troop

"What? The monkeys in the city zoo are revolting?"

When Yang Lin first heard this news, he didn't know what expression to make.

He wanted to laugh but felt it wouldn't be appropriate.

"It's like this - because the city zoo is closing down, many employees have already quit."

"The zookeeper in charge of Monkey Mountain didn't show up this morning, so the monkeys, led by their king, started running wild throughout the park."

"The whole city zoo is in complete chaos now."

In the West Rainbow Zoo administrator's office, a junior official from the city zoo complained to Yang Lin with a troubled expression.

"We had no choice but to come to you, Director Yang."

"I understand. I'll handle this. I was planning to visit the city zoo anyway."

After learning the situation, Yang Lin didn't waste any time. He took Li Goudan, who was now a police dog, and drove alone to the city zoo.

By the time he arrived at the city zoo, it was already past two in the afternoon. Even before getting close, he could hear various animal calls from inside - anyone passing by might have thought the entire zoo was in rebellion.

As for the remaining zoo staff, they were all huddled in the office, too afraid to come out.

Looking at this scene, Yang Lin was about to walk in to ask about the situation when he noticed a young woman behind the glass window frantically gesturing at him.

Yang Lin was confused, thinking she was using sign language, until he felt a dangerous wind approaching from behind.

"Holy crap!"

Without time to think, Yang Lin dodged to the side.

Thud!

A dull sound rang out as a shallow dent appeared in the trash can in front of him.

In front of the dent lay a palm-sized chunk of concrete.

If he hadn't dodged, that concrete block would have hit him right in the head.

Looking in the direction the concrete came from, he saw a monkey with dull-colored fur crouching on a lamppost not far from him.

Clearly, it was the culprit who had thrown the concrete block.

While Yang Lin was still examining this monkey, the mischievous creature bared its teeth at him and made triumphant calling sounds.

Yang Lin couldn't tolerate this and immediately commanded Li Goudan beside him:

"Goudan, go catch that monkey for me!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Goudan, wearing his police dog uniform, sprang into action.

Although the monkey was exceptionally agile, it was no match for Li Goudan's intelligence.

Soon it was cornered and firmly pinned to the ground.

Seeing this, Yang Lin quickly gave a thumbs up.

"Report, boss! The suspect monkey has been apprehended. What are your orders?"

"Keep it restrained. I want to interrogate it."

"Yes, sir!"

While Li Goudan kept the troublemaker under control, Yang Lin, still shaken from the earlier incident, finally approached this unidentified species of monkey.

"Why did you throw a rock at me? I don't even know you."

The previously terrified monkey suddenly looked at Yang Lin with disbelief upon hearing these words.

"Why can I understand what you're saying?"

"Are you a monkey too?"

"Of course not. Never mind how I can talk to you - first tell me why you attacked me."

Whether it was due to Li Goudan's intimidating presence or some other reason, the monkey hesitated only briefly before answering:

"Because you humans stopped feeding us."

"That's it?"

Upon hearing the reason for the monkey uprising, Yang Lin was stunned.

He had thought the monkeys suddenly wanted freedom and that's why they revolted.

Turns out they were just hungry.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense - the zookeeper had left, there were no visitors to feed them, and there was no wild fruit on Monkey Mountain. How could they not be hungry?

Understanding the cause, Yang Lin knew how to handle the situation.

Looking at the dull-furred monkey before him, he casually cast a Light of Insight.

The next second, information about this monkey appeared before him.

[Yunnan Golden Monkey]

[Wisdom (Green Talent) Requires 1 talent point to activate]

[Agility (Green Talent) Requires 1 talent point to activate]

[Noble Temperament (Gold Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate]

[Monkey Leader (Gold Talent) Requires 5 talent points to activate, due to inherent leadership potential, only needs 1 talent point to activate]

.......

After reading this information, Yang Lin's face showed a trace of surprise.

This scruffy-looking little monkey was actually a Yunnan Golden Monkey, an aristocrat among monkeys.

Usually when people talk about golden monkeys, they're referring to Sichuan Golden Monkeys, which have golden-yellow fur and are more attractive.

That's why Yang Lin hadn't immediately realized this little fellow was also a golden monkey.

"Hehe, what perfect timing. I was wondering which animals to choose, and you'll be my first pick."

As he spoke, Yang Lin spent one talent point to activate the Monkey Leader talent for the little fellow.

The next second, miraculous changes began occurring in the small creature.

Although its size remained the same, its fur gained a lustrous quality, changing from gray to dark gold.

Compared to pure gold, it had less flashiness but more nobility.

The white cowlick on its head gradually transformed into a crown-like circular pattern.

When all the changes were complete, an aura unlike ordinary monkeys naturally emanated from it.

Without doubt, having successfully activated the talent, it now had the qualifications to compete for the Monkey King's throne.

"From today on, you'll follow me. Your name will be Li Kong."

"Your first task is to find the current Monkey King, defeat him, and then bring your tribe to me."

"Go now!"

At Yang Lin's command, this extraordinary Yunnan Golden Monkey immediately jumped onto a nearby tree and disappeared into the zoo grounds.

Soon after, series of monkey screams could be heard from within the park.

Meanwhile, the staff in the city zoo administrator's office watched an incredibly spectacular scene through the surveillance cameras.

In the footage, a dark golden-furred Yunnan Golden Monkey was leading several sturdy macaques in battle against other macaques.

After defeating these macaques, they immediately joined his ranks.

Before long, the troops led by this Yunnan Golden Monkey began growing larger and larger.

From the initial few to several dozens.

Seeing this, a ridiculous thought occurred to them.

It seemed these revolting monkeys were experiencing another political upheaval, with a new Monkey King leading his guard unit to launch an attack against the old Monkey King.

Absurd, absolutely absurd.
