At the Xihong Zoo, with the fame of the chimpanzee Li Weishi Di Fu resounding across the internet, the number of local tourists coming to check in has also steadily increased.
By the time Yang Lin arrived, dragging the second box of umbrellas, the area outside the ape enclosure was already packed three layers deep.
Seeing this scene, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt.
“Has modern people's curiosity become this severe?”
“They don't like watching normal animals, they prefer being thrown feces.”
Just as he was speechless, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the crowd.
Following the cheers, he saw that Li Wei the chimpanzee was already tearing up the grass turf on the ground.
After tearing it up, it tightly held the piece of turf in its hand, occasionally making a motion as if to throw it.
Every time it made a feint, the tourists present would erupt in cheers.
Seizing this opportunity, Li Wei suddenly exerted force and threw the turf towards a tourist standing closest to it.
*Bang!*
Without the slightest surprise, the tourist was hit directly by the turf.
Yet, even so, the tourist was not angry at all. Instead, they burst into hearty laughter, as if they had won a grand prize.
“Tsk tsk tsk, if I had known these tourists liked this sort of thing, I would have fed Li Wei more yesterday, and thrown in some purgatives, so you could all share the blessings.”
Seeing the tourists' spirits soaring, Yang Lin quickly took out the loudspeaker he had prepared.
“Attention all tourists, besides the ape enclosure, the animals in the other areas are also very interesting. You are welcome to move to those locations.”
Upon hearing Yang Lin’s words, the tourists also noticed his familiar face.
“Are the other animals as interesting as Shi Di Fu?”
“Yeah, do they have any special skills?”
“But I must say, Shi Di Fu alone already feels worth the ticket price.”
“I think one abnormal animal like Shi Di Fu is enough for a zoo.”
“That’s not necessarily true, where there is a Crouching Dragon, there must be a Fledgling Phoenix.”
…
Seeing that their interest had been piqued, Yang Lin quickly added,
“In the monkey enclosure right next to the ape enclosure, I have prepared a show for you all.”
“If you’re interested, follow me.”
After saying this, Yang Lin turned and walked towards the monkey enclosure nearby.
A portion of the tourists present, driven by curiosity, quickly followed.
After walking for a short while, a monkey enclosure similar to the ape enclosure appeared before them.
As soon as they approached the monkey enclosure, a burst of explosive music started playing.
With the loud music, a figure then swung from behind the monkey enclosure.
As soon as the figure landed, it performed a perfect 720-degree backflip for everyone.
Upon seeing this, the tourists present immediately began to applaud.
And as they applauded, the slender figure’s posture suddenly became strange.
Its limbs seemed as if they had just grown, filled with stiffness.
After watching for a moment, the onlookers' expressions suddenly changed.
“This… this is f***ing popping and locking.”
“This monkey is doing popping and locking, oh my god.”
As one tourist exclaimed in surprise, the others also began to react.
Its stiff movements, combined with the highly rhythmic music, were indeed a powerfully expressive popping and locking performance.
“Holy crap, isn’t this…”
What happened next was indeed as the tourists had guessed.
Almost as soon as these videos were uploaded, their popularity began to skyrocket.
Soon, the video’s popularity for the gibbon Li Qiang began to rival that of the chimpanzee Li Wei.
The comments under the videos were a bizarre mix.
“As expected, where there is a Crouching Dragon, there is always a Fledgling Phoenix. I thought a chimpanzee that throws feces was already invincible, but I didn’t expect there to be a dancing gibbon living next door.”
“Judging by the gibbon’s proficiency in dancing, I think it has been practicing for at least two and a half years.”
“Makes sense, look at the two stripes on its body, don’t they look like suspenders?”
“That’s enough from you guys, are we going to start a team fight here too?”
“This gibbon’s quality is truly 666.”
“I actually liked this gibbon before, but after you guys said that, I like it even more.”
“My god, for such a small Xihong Zoo to be hiding both a Crouching Dragon and a Fledgling Phoenix, the zoo owner must be no ordinary person.”
“Indeed, being able to raise such two peculiar animals, the owner is also a talent.”
“It must be the zookeeper who is amazing, it’s clear this zookeeper understands animals.”
“What do you know, this zoo only has one person, who is both the boss and the zookeeper, and occasionally works as a ticket seller.”
“Damn, and he’s also a black-hearted merchant. He charged me 10 yuan for a pack of tissues to wipe the shit off me.”
“What, you think 10 yuan is too expensive for special ape feces plus a pack of tissues?”
“I heard chimpanzee feces contain probiotics and can boost brainpower when eaten, so 10 yuan is not expensive.”
“Really?”
“Of course I’m lying to you, you little idiot.”
With the heated discussion, Li Qiang the gibbon soon became as popular as Li Wei the chimpanzee. While being jokingly referred to as the Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix of Xihong Zoo, it also gained an additional nickname – mj. Space Ape.
Driven by this pair of Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix, the name Xihong Zoo gradually became known to everyone in Longguo.
