Chapter 173 System Maintenance, Friend or Foe

"Ding! The host has successfully illuminated talents for 100 animals, and more than 10 of them have talents of gold or above. The system has automatically triggered the upgrade mechanism."

"The system is now upgrading and will take 12 hours. After 12 hours, the system will be upgraded to Level 2 and unlock related Level 2 functions."

"The system will be temporarily shut down for maintenance during the upgrade. Please stay tuned."

Hearing the prompt in his mind, Yang Lin's expression changed several times.

From surprise to confusion, and finally to bewilderment.

"Damn it, shouldn't it upgrade immediately? Why does it need 12 hours of maintenance? Are you a game server?"

"Ding! After maintenance is completed, the system will automatically issue a maintenance compensation gift package."

"Oh, it's fine then. Maintain it well, keep up the good work!"

After speaking, Yang Lin closed the system panel, which had turned gray.

He had originally thought he would be able to unlock the function to allocate points today, and he had even prepared to stay up all night.

But who knew the system wouldn't allow it.

"It seems I have to go to bed. I hope the system gives me a surprise tomorrow."

With that, Yang Lin returned to his room.

After staying up for most of the night, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside had already brightened.

If it were usual, he would now be greeting guests at the entrance of the zoo. But with the increase in the number of employees at the zoo, he had already begun to delegate tasks.

Unless it was a particularly important matter, he didn't need to be involved.

Listening to the bustling crowd outside, he knew that the new changes within the park must have attracted the attention of the tourists.

The scene he saw after walking out of his room confirmed this.

Animals in various enclosures were being watched by tourists, and the Wolf Enclosure naturally had the largest crowd.

The Wolf Enclosure had been the temporary base for the Paw Patrol. During the day, when the Paw Patrol was on patrol, the enclosure would usually be empty.

However, the seven wolves in the enclosure at this moment had immediately attracted the attention of many tourists.

"When did we get these animals? They weren't here yesterday afternoon."

"Yeah, is the director that diligent, running out in the middle of the night to kidnap animals?"

"Are these stray dogs that were taken in?"

"Dog, my ass! These are wolves. Can't you tell the difference between a wolf and a dog?"

"I thought they were dogs too, but look at their eyes. They're definitely not dog-like."

"Exactly, such fierce eyes. Dogs don't have them."

"I was a soldier on the grasslands before and saw real wolves. These are definitely wolves."

"Just look at the tail. If it's raised slightly, it's a dog. If it's hanging down, it's a wolf."

...

While the tourists were debating whether the animals in the Wolf Enclosure were wolves or dogs, Yang Lin slowly arrived at the entrance of the enclosure.

Seeing him arrive, everyone seemed to have found a savior and immediately surrounded him.

"Director, please judge for us. They insist these are wolves. I've already made a bet with him that if they are wolves, I'll call him Dad."

"Yes, Director, you tell us, are these wolves or dogs?"

Listening to the voices of the two tourists beside him, Yang Lin immediately gave one of them a sympathetic look.

"Congratulations, you're about to have another dad."

"These seven wolves were brought back by me last night from the Longhu Mountain forest area. They are also the first wild wolf pack discovered in our Ningnan region."

As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, there was an uproar from the crowd.

The tourist who had made the bet turned ashen.

"So, Director Yang, you went up the mountain in the middle of the night yesterday and kidnapped seven wolves?"

"You're a real daredevil."

"It's fortunate this place is called the Wolf Enclosure. If it were called the Dinosaur Park, would you really catch a couple of dinosaurs one day?"

"These seven wolves are either unlucky or lucky. They came out for a hunt in the middle of the night and couldn't get back."

"I think they're quite lucky to have secured a formal position here."

...

As the tourists were joking, the seven wolves in the enclosure seemed to be showing signs of agitation.

They had lived in the forest before and had never seen such a scene.

With low growls emanating from their throats, their eyes began to become more fierce.

As wild wolves, they felt at this moment that they were not being shown the respect they deserved.

However, in the next second, a tourist casually threw a free-range chicken they had bought at a high price into the Wolf Enclosure.

After devouring the chicken in a few bites, the wolves' gazes towards the tourists immediately changed.

For some reason, they felt that the group of people outside was actually quite respectful of them.

Upon seeing the wolves' reaction, other tourists immediately followed suit.

Soon, free-range chickens were being thrown into the Wolf Enclosure one after another.

After eating several free-range chickens, the expressions of both the alpha wolf and the other gray wolves changed subtly.

Yang Lin, watching this scene, couldn't help but feel a trace of worry.

"Will they eventually be trained like dogs? These are wild wolves that I painstakingly brought back."

Of course, as soon as this thought arose, Yang Lin shook his head.

"Impossible, impossible. It takes at least a thousand years for wolves to be domesticated into dogs."

"They're not that easily domesticated."

Pushing the unrealistic thought out of his mind, Yang Lin then began to inspect other areas.

As he was looking, a group of tourists gathered together caught his attention.

Pushing through the crowds, he soon saw a scene that surprised him.

Surrounded by many tourists, a fat monkey was looking through books by itself.

It was none other than the bear monkey from yesterday.

At this moment, it was engrossed in a philosophy book obtained from some tourist.

No matter how much noise the tourists around it made, it was not affected in the slightest.

As it flipped through the pages, a thoughtful expression would occasionally appear on its face.

This scene instantly amused the tourists, and some even took out books to discuss with it.

At first, everyone thought it was faking it, but soon they realized that this bear monkey seemed to genuinely understand.

Moreover, it quickly mastered addition and subtraction within 100.

Instantly, the onlookers were all stunned.

"Is this monkey for real? It's one thing if it can understand books, but it can also do math problems."

"I offered it a banana just now and it refused, but it reached out and took a book."

"This is a monkey that has transcended low-level desires. It's a pure monkey."

"Studying so hard, is this monkey preparing for postgraduate entrance exams?"

"Are the animals at Xihong Zoo this competitive?"

"I get it. Next time, I'll bring it a book on advanced mathematics and see if it still reads it."

...

As the tourists' discussions continued, the title of Xihong Zoo's academic monkey gradually spread.
