Super Zoo

Chapter 97 Monkey Tricks



The battle began, with both sides equally matched; Suming had two people, one pilot and one little attacker, while Zhao Yun also had two people, similarly divided in their roles, and the fight was too close to call!

Shuijun Lake, with its hundred acres of water, lacked nothing more than 'ammo' for water guns, enough for these two mad women to fight till the end of time!

What a chaotic battle! Caught up in the excitement, Zhao Yun even drew a plastic sword to attack the enemy pilot, Suming, who of course wouldn't show any weakness either, pulling out an inflatable trident from beside the second green fish, and like knights in a duel, they passed by each other, stabbing and slashing wildly without any rhyme or reason!

The onlookers, who loved a good commotion, cheered enthusiastically from the shore as the battle raged on the water, shouting encouragements like "Go for it, go for it..."

In the early morning, dozens of people gathered together shouting, making quite a spectacle, their voices carrying all the way to the animal area and attracting even more tourists to gather around Shuijun Lake to watch the battle. Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

The three playful river dolphins couldn't stay idle seeing such a scene, constantly leaping out of the water near the combatants, jumping about.

Mr. Song and Mrs. Tong initially thought some group incident had occurred and ran to the edge of Shuijun Lake, but upon seeing the situation, both were dumbfounded. Mr. Song, after asking around with Mr. Dong and Liang Shi, finally understood that this was a new attraction developed by Suming: riding fish combined with taking photos with them.

"This kid, how does his brain work so well! What a brilliant idea!" said Mr. Dong with a big grin.

"It's not just about having a smart brain, even if you share this idea, without his fish-training skills, others can't imitate it," Mrs. Tong said.@@novelbin@@

Mr. Song, with an air of nonchalance, said lightly, "Little Tong, you go back and write a report. I think it's time we raise the entrance fee to our zoo. Let's increase it by five yuan."

The zoo's admission had always been twenty-five yuan, and although prices had risen over the years, the admission fee had stayed the same. It wasn't that they didn't want to raise it, but the key issue was the lack of appealing attractions to justify an increase, and without that, higher-ups would not approve.

First came the Lucky Cat Cruise Boat, and now a fish-riding attraction, not to mention the family of three river dolphins. Mr. Song pondered that now was the perfect time for a price hike.

If the higher-ups approved, it would mean the zoo's income would increase by 20% without any additional effort.

"Hehe, Mr. Song, about our year-end bonuses, don't you think they should also go up?" Mr. Dong asked with a mischievous smile.

"You from the security department, make sure to keep a good watch over this area of Shuijun Lake. From now on, Su's business is the zoo's business. Don't let any problems arise with his ventures. As for the year-end bonus, if the zoo's performance improves, how could I shortchange you?" Mr. Song said.

...

The water battle was so intense that even Suming and Zhao Yun were taken aback; when women go crazy, they don't consider age and completely lose control.

This, however, was agony for the two big fish on their 'first day at work'; even with Suming deliberately replenishing their spiritual power, they were struggling to keep up with the prolonged high-speed sprint. When the four riders dismounted on the shore, the two large creatures laid flat in the shallow water, unwilling to move.

Those big fish weren't silly at all; they were very perceptive.

If it were any other tourist riding them, they would most likely conserve energy and do the bare minimum. But with Suming bringing people along, it was different. If they could ingratiate themselves with Suming, they'd have better days ahead, and today, they really gave it their all.

"Huff, huff, huff... I'm so tired, so tired..."

The moment they got off the fish, both women uttered the same words. Suming and Zhao Yun exchanged helpless glances. You're tired after fighting so enthusiastically? The fish aren't complaining about being tired, so what are you tired for?

"Quick, change out of your wet clothes!" Zhao Yun, anticipating that they'd likely get wet today, had wisely brought several sets of dry clothes.

Suming also realized that his preparations were still somewhat lacking. After the official opening, he'd need to buy some raincoats to prevent visitors from getting their clothes wet.

"Over there, go to the Whisperwind Pavilion to change."

Leading Zhao Yun and his family of three, Suming entered the Whisperwind Pavilion by the shore of Shuijun Lake.

The Whisperwind Pavilion was a bona fide scenic spot, a six-story tower that was much larger than Whisperwind Pavilion. The first floor sold souvenirs, while the upper floors housed wooden statues. Usually, not many people were willing to pay to go upstairs to have a look, as the space was very large. Zhaoqian and her mother ran up to the third floor, while Suming and Zhao Yun changed clothes on the second floor.

"This Whisperwind Pavilion has been around since I was young; it's a pity to see it standing empty all these years, such a waste," said Zhao Yun with a hint of regret as he changed clothes.

Imitating ancient architecture, the pavilion boasted carved balustrades, painted rafters, soaring corners, and beastly roof charms, located close to Shuijun Lake. Each level had a viewing gallery around it; opening the surrounding imitation antique wooden doors, one could gaze far at the Qinling Mountains or admire the dense forests and lakes of the zoo, making it a rare and ideal place to visit.

Strictly speaking, the Whisperwind Pavilion was also within the scope of Suming's contracted area. Suming felt it a waste to let it stay vacant; he had once considered asking Zhao Yun to exhibit some antiques there.

However, after discussing it with Zhao Yun, it seemed unfeasible. Firstly, the average person lacked the ability to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit goods. Qin Shi Huang's toilet and a thirty-yuan imitation from the street side placed together, not many people could tell them apart. Secondly, every piece of Zhao Yun's antiques was valuable. Bringing them for exhibition, a bump or scratch would be a big problem, not to mention the high cost of security measures would outweigh the benefits.

"No rush, good opportunities sometimes rely on luck. If it comes, it comes; if not, no amount of brooding will help," Zhao Yun said.

The two ladies took over an hour to change clothes. When they came down from upstairs, they even applied makeup and looked nothing like they did during the water fight.

"Dad, big brother, my mom and I are so hungry our stomachs are growling," Chengcheng said.

"Do you have anything tonight? Let's go out to eat together," Zhao Yun asked Suming.

Suming thought about it and realized he had nothing on. The cats and dogs were left to their own devices; the major-headed alligator, croquet eels, and crocodile snooks were mixing it up, while Liang Shi was taking care of the dolphins and large fish in the pond. They didn't conduct boat tours or feed sales at night, so now he was quite free.

"Bring the little monkey too!" Chengcheng called out.

"Sure," Suming chuckled. Xiao Kong, the little monkey, had grown quite a bit. Taking it out to eat was feasible, but he wasn't sure whether the restaurant would allow it in.

In the end, at Chengcheng's earnest request, Suming went to Monkey Mountain and carried Xiao Kong out.

"Mr. Su, please be very careful not to lose it!" Hou, the Monkey Mountain keeper, followed behind, incessantly giving reminders.

Now with his increased status and riding the tide, Suming managed all the animals in the park. Keeper Hou, his subordinate, didn't dare to oppose him despite harboring reluctance, and could only follow behind with a mournful face.

"Its father could have sneakily escaped long ago; if it were going to get lost, would it wait until now?" Suming found this amusing but agreed, saying don't worry, if the monkey gets lost, I'll just stick some fur on myself, play monkey and sneak into Monkey Mountain for you.

The Monkey Mountain keeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself, my lord, if the monkey really runs away, you're in favor, and I'll be in a pit of trouble!

Seeing Xiao Kong, who had grown considerably, Chengcheng could hardly recognize the monkey. But Xiao Kong was quite clever, standing on Suming's shoulder and chattering away, gesturing a hello to Chengcheng.

The group took Zhao Yun's Audi A8 and headed straight for a famous seafood restaurant in the city. As soon as Chengcheng and her family entered, Suming, following behind, was stopped by the security guard.

"No monkeys allowed in!" the security guard said.
