After Yang Lin rushed out of the room, the scene he saw next was indeed as he expected.
Looking around, the entrance to the orangutan enclosure was already crowded, three layers deep, three layers wide.
The number of tourists was several times more than during Shi Di Fu's peak popularity.
Those who didn't know would have thought Shi Di Fu was up to something new again.
Before Yang Lin could get close, he heard bursts of amazed shouts.
"My goodness, what kind of orangutan is this? How did it get so big?"
"So scary, could this be Shi Di Fu's child?"
"Did Shi Di Fu drop a turd in your brain? How could this be Shi Di Fu's offspring? It's more like its ancestor."
"They're clearly not the same species."
"How did Xihong Zoo quietly introduce a brand new animal?"
"Didn't you watch Teacher Xiao Liang's live stream yesterday? This one seems to be the Gigantopithecus that the director rescued from the primeval forest last night."
"It really seems like it, but why do I feel it's a little different from how it looked last night?"
"Perhaps it was too dark last night, so we couldn't see clearly."
...
As the tourists were chattering, Yang Lin had already squeezed his way to the back of the crowd.
"Everyone, please make way, don't get too close."
As Yang Lin's voice boomed from the loudspeaker, the onlookers immediately shifted their attention to him.
"The director is here."
"Director, is this really the giant ape from last night?"
"Why does this giant ape seem a little timid?"
"Now that you mention it, it really does."
...
Following the gaze of the crowd, they saw that inside the orangutan enclosure, Shi Di Fu was leisurely working on its inventions.
In a corner nearby, the large-bodied Gorilla was trembling, its hands clasped tightly over its head. It was clearly intimidated by the crowd.
Seeing this, Yang Lin quickly shouted again:
"Please, everyone, do not approach for the time being. The Gorilla, that is, the giant ape inside, has been subjected to violent treatment from its group before, so it is much more timid than other animals."
"And it is still in its juvenile stage, not accepting new things very quickly. So, I hope you can let it know that we humans mean it no harm, rather than leaving it with a bad impression."
After hearing Yang Lin's explanation, the tourists present suddenly understood.
"So that's why it's so timid, it suffered violence."
"Yesterday, during the live stream, the director seemed to have analyzed that it was treated as a monster by its own kind because of some mutation."
"That would certainly lead to psychological issues, poor thing."
"I thought I was the only one who became introverted after being bullied as a child, I didn't expect animals to be the same."
"Everyone, let's consciously take a few steps back, don't scare it."
"Gorilla? That's a nice name."
...
It must be said that these tourists were very empathetic towards animals. After learning about Gorilla's childhood experiences, they all immediately and consciously retreated.
Many tourists even voluntarily took out snacks they brought to share with Gorilla.
Some children even threw food they were reluctant to eat into the enclosure.
Soon, a small mountain appeared on the ground of the orangutan enclosure.
And this mountain represented human kindness.
Perhaps influenced by the goodwill of everyone, the previously timid Gorilla gradually began to move out of the corner.
After it tasted the food, the wariness and nervousness on its face slowly disappeared.
Before long, it even dared to extend its large hand out of the cage.
Looking at its outstretched hand, the tourists outside were all as if they had received a great honor.
Seeing this, Yang Lin finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
It would be great if the tourists could help Gorilla overcome its inner turmoil.
Of course, this might take a long time.
And as the tourists interacted with Gorilla, the news of the extinct Gigantopithecus appearing in Xihong Zoo began to spread wildly online.
At first, many netizens thought it was fake news, after all, Gigantopithecus was an ancient creature that had been extinct for over 300,000 years.
Until one after another, tourists who visited Xihong Zoo posted photos and videos of their interactions with Gorilla, and those who were skeptical immediately fell silent.
This was followed by intense shock, regardless of whether Gorilla was indeed a Gigantopithecus, but solely because of its enormous size in the videos.
Especially when a photo of a child posing with Gorilla appeared.
In this photo, the human child's height did not even reach Gorilla's knee.
This stark contrast instantly caused the netizens who had not yet visited Xihong Zoo to explode.
Even foreign netizens were no exception.
"Is it really that big? Its fist is a whole circle bigger than my head. If it landed a punch, I'd be done for."
"Forget about you being done for, even Tyson would be finished. This is probably the strongest primate."
"I saw a mountain gorilla up close before, and I thought its size was already exaggerated, but compared to this giant ape in front of me, a mountain gorilla is like a little brother."
"As expected of a unique species from our Dragon Country, it's so big."
"What kind of luck does Director Gou have? He went out and found a pack of clouded leopards and a golden eagle, and now he's found an extinct ancient giant ape."
"They invited him to investigate biodiversity, and he went to stock up."
"The director knows how to stock up. Such a huge zoo, so many animals, and he didn't spend a penny."
"It seems to be true. Inherited from inheritance, adopted, found, and came on their own."
"Starting with a dog, and building a zoo by picking things up."
...
Just as the entire internet was envying Yang Lin's ability to pick up animals, Niu and Ma, who hadn't been seen for over a day, found Yang Lin again.
As soon as Yang Lin entered his office, Ma Chaoqun, with dark circles under his eyes, excitedly held up a stack of A4 paper and walked over.
"Old Yang, I've thought of a new advertisement script. I dare say this script is unprecedentedly perfect."
"If it were made into a movie, it would definitely win an Oscar."
"Come, come, come, take a look, see how my story is written."
Saying that, Ma Chaoqun tried to force the script into Yang Lin's hands.
But Yang Lin didn't have time to read his script at this moment.
"Alright, alright, we'll film it according to your script. Just tell me if you have any requirements, and you can tell me if there are any difficulties."
Hearing Yang Lin's words, Ma Chaoqun became even more excited.
"You said it yourself! But you should still read my script first."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse Ma Chaoqun, Yang Lin had no choice but to read it.
As he read, his expression became strange.
He had a feeling that he had seen this script somewhere before.
