As the first animal cub to be naturally born at the Xihong Zoo, Yang Lin placed great importance on the little white bear.
Of course, the tourists in the park at this moment felt the same way.
For many visitors, they had watched this little creature emerge from its mother's belly.
The emotion of a new life being born still remained in their hearts.
Therefore, when they heard that Yang Lin was going to hold a naming event for the little white bear, these tourists immediately became enthusiastic.
Considering the circumstances, Yang Lin specifically brought the little cub to a lawn in the center of the park.
As soon as he placed the cub on the ground, this little creature, full of curiosity about the world, began to toddle around.
Occasionally, it would fall to the ground due to a lack of strength.
However, to everyone's surprise, after falling only a few times, this newborn cub was already able to walk normally.
Whether it was an illusion or not, everyone even felt that the cub was a little bigger than when it was just born.
Yang Lin had naturally noticed this, but he paid no attention. For a mutated animal that had awakened its talent before even being born, it would be strange if it behaved like an ordinary animal cub.
Seeing that enough tourists had gathered, Yang Lin nodded to a zoo employee nearby.
The next second, the employee turned on the live broadcast equipment placed beside them.
Before long, the online live stream of Xihong Zoo was launched.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of viewers flooded into the live stream, and this number continued to grow at an astonishing rate.
When the number of viewers stabilized at 500,000, Yang Lin picked up the microphone.
"To all the visitors and online fans, hello everyone. Not long ago, Xihong Zoo welcomed a new member."
"It is the little bear cub behind me."
As he spoke, Yang Lin turned his head back.
However, to his surprise, the little bear cub, which had been playing with dirt behind him, had vanished.
After scanning around, a small, furry figure preparing to climb a large tree nearby immediately caught his eye.
Seeing this, Yang Lin, who was about to speak, immediately dropped the microphone in his hand and leaped to the base of the tree.
The next second, a little ball of fur landed on his back.
However, after a moment of astonishment, the crowd watching this thrilling scene burst into laughter.
In contrast, the little cub, which had just fallen from the tree, seemed to have learned no lesson. After rolling on Yang Lin's back, it attempted to climb the nearby tree again.
It was at this moment that a large hand firmly grasped the scruff of its neck.
The little bear, successfully captured, immediately flailed its four short legs, occasionally letting out whimpering sounds.
"My dear ancestor, please stop climbing. You're a black bear, not a panda next door. Why are you trying to climb trees like them?"
With a helpless look, Yang Lin placed the cub on his shoulder and picked up the microphone from the ground again.
Before he could speak again, the cub used its hind legs to step on his nose and mouth.
With a push from its short legs, its ball-like body climbed directly onto Yang Lin's head.
Suddenly, Yang Lin's head seemed to have acquired a furry white hat.
Seeing this, both the on-site tourists and the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious. I finally understand where the saying 'to take an inch and go for a mile' comes from."
"It's literally stepping on his nose and mouth."
"I think the director is a bit ungrateful. We don't even have the chance to have the little one step on our faces."
"I'm truly charmed by this little one. If it were to cling to me right now, I'm afraid I'd be overwhelmed by its cuteness and die on the spot."
...
As the tourists were being charmed by the cub's behavior, Yang Lin no longer paid attention to the little one clinging to his hair and spoke with some difficulty:
"The rules for today's naming event are very simple. You can type in your suggested names for the little one in the live stream."
"If you find a suitable name, please give it a like. I will adopt the name with the highest number of likes to name the cub."
As he spoke, Yang Lin occasionally had to fend off the cub's enthusiastic invitations to taste bear paws.
"Of course, even if your name is not chosen, the zoo will randomly give a stuffed animal to the top fifty participants with the most likes, and they will have the priority to name subsequent animal cubs at the zoo."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the tourists and fans in the live stream became instantly excited.
Especially those fans who had not come to the scene, they had long been coveting the stuffed animals produced by Xihong Zoo.
Among them, the Shidifu (屎递夫) plush toy, considered a bestseller, with its cheeky gaze, unique bald appearance, and the poop it could launch from its hand, was truly a force of nature among plush toys.
Yet, such a 'force of nature' plush toy sold out within an hour of the park's opening.
It was said that on second-hand platforms, one Shidifu plush toy had already been priced at over a thousand yuan.
"Dear dads, please give me likes later. If you like me, you are my dad."
"Selling Shidifu plush toy, 95% new. The poop has been lost. Minor flaws."
"Not aiming for first place, just for tenth."
"Please, those who already have plush toys, don't compete. Pity the children. My roommate has late-stage cancer. Her dying wish is to have a Qiuqiu Yuanyuan (球球圆圆) plush toy."
"Let me suggest a name first. The little one is so white, I think it should be called Li Hei (李黑)."
"Not good, not good. I think it should be called Li Zhi (李智), because I have no reason (理智 - also means rationality)."
"Let's call it Li Bo Ai (李波捱)."
"How about Chu Mo (初墨)? Xiong Chu Mo (熊初墨) sounds nice. Everyone, please like me. I beg you, dads."
"I think it's the eldest child in the family, so let's call it Xiong Da (熊大). If it has a second child later, we'll call it Xiong Er (熊二)."
...
As netizens continued to unleash their imaginations, a series of bizarre names appeared in the live stream.
Their enthusiasm gradually increased.
At first, they might have been seriously thinking of names, but as time went on, the style of naming began to change.
Fortunately, they were serious about voting.
Soon, the names with the highest votes emerged.
They were Li Hei, Li Mo (李墨), Li Zhi, Li Ba Tian (李霸天), Li Ta Ma (李踏马), Li Chu Mo.
Seeing that the name Li Ta Ma was about to surge to first place, Yang Lin's heart was pounding.
If that name were chosen, he truly wouldn't be able to say it out loud in the future.
Fortunately, at this moment, the name Li Hei narrowly surpassed Li Ta Ma.
Yang Lin immediately finalized this name.
While the naming event was in full swing at the zoo, a young girl rushed to the entrance of Xihong Zoo, carrying a cage.
