I have a wildlife zoo

"Ice Cake..."

Following a young man's call, a little white tiger stumbled over to him.

Displayed on Mazi's phone was the video of Fang Ye taking Ice Cake out for a walk.

What does this mean?

Ajing seemed contemplative as he looked toward Mazi.

Mazi chuckled slyly, making a knowing face, "From Linhai City, not far!"

That's really how it is!

Ajing nodded, "Beating up this kid isn't out of the question, but you can't shortchange us on the money..."

In the office, Fang Ye sneezed for no reason, glanced at the air conditioning, and "beep" turned it up a degree.

Mazi is floored!

"Brother Jing, you're too honest, beating up people can only make so much money!"

Ajing's brow furrowed, his face displeased, as he raised his fist, "Speak up if you've got something to say! What's with all this hemming and hawing, playing at charades?"

"A brainless brute, it's no wonder you lose at cards."

Mazi inwardly complained but dared not show it on his face, "Brother Jing, you see this little tiger? White, worth a fortune!"

He glanced around while pressing his neck, then extended a finger, "At least a million!"

A million!

Ajing expressed his doubt, "Is a tiger really worth that much?"

"Of course!" Mazi boasted his knowledge, "White tigers are very rare, only a little over a hundred in the whole world! I just happen to know a boss who wants to get a little tiger as a pet. If we snatch this little white tiger..."

Ajing was becoming tempted, "It won't be easy, will it?"

Mazi confidently scrolled through the video, "Let me tell you, look here at their office building, not even a single security camera."

"Really now."

"The little tiger's location is here... We'll scope out the place first, then climb over the wall at night. You grab it, and I'll keep watch outside... Reselling it is easy money, isn't it like a windfall from heaven?"

"Are you sure you can sell it? What if the boss changes his mind?"

"Don't worry, worst comes to worst we sell the tiger's skin, white tiger skin is valuable too."

The two of them whispered back and forth for a while, made sure there were no issues, and decided they could do it. Leaving with a shared smile, they seemed to see a bright future ahead...

...

"Director, there's a delivery for you! It's the same type of wooden crate as last time, should I bring it over for you?" gatekeeper Lei said over the phone.

Fang Ye was momentarily stunned, then excitedly perked up, it must be the red pandas!

Yeesh, busy these past few days, he had almost forgotten the matter.

"Alright, then please bring it here, come to room 402 to find me!"

The red panda exhibit required comparatively less work and, thanks to the unbeatable construction team of the system, it could be completed in less than half a month.

Fang Ye had decided that before the red panda exhibit was completed, he would let them temporarily stay in an unused office for a few days.

Since the office had tables and chairs for them to climb up and down, it served as a makeshift perch set. Compared to the empty pens, this environment was a bit more friendly.

They could also be taken out to the lawn to play and walk every day.

He hoped that the red pandas would have a first impression of Linhai Zoo that wasn't necessarily terrific but at least not too shabby!

Of course, whether temporarily placed in the office or planning to take them out to play, it was all based on the fact that red pandas didn't have high attack or agility stats.

Soon, a crate with the spray-painted label "Planet Zoo" was brought by Lei into the untended office of room 402.

Fang Ye was already familiar with the process this time, and with a press of his finger in the groove beneath the buckle, the lock immediately "click" sprang open.

The white smoke dissipated, and two adorable red pandas were fast asleep at the bottom of the crate, round and plump like two sweet potatoes.

They weren't exactly fat; it was more like the puppy fat seen in humans, a bit plump but all the more cute for it.

Fang Ye picked up their hind legs for a look, then studied the two pandas' form carefully, finding a slight difference.

The male with the testicles had black fur that extended to his shoulders compared to the female, but his tail was a lighter color.

"Hmm, let's give them names first..." Fang Ye stroked his chin, pondering.

Considering the red fur of the red pandas, how about names like Tomato, Hawthorn, Red Bean, Strawberry, Apple?

Apple won't work. One of the red pandas' favorite snacks is apples, and that name would definitely cause confusion.

Or should they be named after their plump and round figures, like Rice Cake, Glutinous Rice, Tangyuan, Meatball?

A string of names floated through his mind.

After a moment's musing, Fang Ye snapped his fingers with ease and pleasure, "The male will be called Chestnut, and the female Red Bean!"

Pleased with himself, nobody knows naming better than I do!

Chestnut's sleeping posture was quite proper, curled up into a plump little ball.

In contrast, Red Bean's sleeping position wasn't very elegant, as if a fat otaku hugging a life-sized body pillow tightly, clinging to Chestnut's fluffy tail, with her hind paws indecorously shoved next to Chestnut's mouth.

As the white smoke cleared, the white triangular ears of the two red pandas twitched slightly, and their paws moved gently a few times, a sign that they were gradually waking from their slumber.

Red Bean licked her tail a few times first.

Then she opened her eyes, looked at the tail she was hugging, and seemed puzzled. Why was there no sensation despite licking for so long?

What the heck!

Startled, Red Bean jolted up, stood on her hind legs with both paws raised above her head, her small eyes widened staring at the tail, looking incredibly fierce!

Raising her hands was a common behavior for red pandas, like they were surrendering, which looked very amusing.

But it wasn't actually surrendering, nor was it a salute; it was a posture of deterrence.

Meaning: I'm warning you, I'm super fierce, don't mess with me!

However, the cuteness of red pandas was just too high.

Their white muzzles, cheeks, and the fur above their eyes looked delicate and lovely no matter how you saw them.

Even though it was meant to be a threat, it didn't scare anyone, and in fact, made people want to pick them up for a cuddle.

After raising her paws, Red Bean glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as afraid.

Oh, so this was just another red panda's tail. Scared the baby to death.

But when she looked up, she saw Fang Ye smiling at her!

"Hi~"

!!!!!????

Filled with terror, Red Bean involuntarily raised her paws, trying to spread them apart to make herself look more intimidating while whimpering, "ying ying ying," all the while retreating backwards!

Fang Ye speechless: "Am I that scary?"

Chestnut was awoken by the noise!

The moment he opened his eyes and saw Red Bean with her hands raised, he became alert, also getting up on his hind legs to raise his hands in threat.

"Do Chestnut and Red Bean not recognize each other?" Fang Ye wondered, but then he realized, "The system's pair of red pandas just means one male and one female. It seems they don't know each other or aren't that close."

Chestnut also saw Fang Ye, and without hesitation, he flipped over the wooden crate, then hopped down from the chair to the floor, and hid under the desk.

Red Bean paused for a moment, then followed behind Chestnut and hid.
