Exchange animal communication skills

“Live streaming at the Panda Base?”

“Don't even mention it, that's actually a pretty good idea.”

“National treasures, with their adorable, clumsy appearance—who could resist them??”

“And they inherently attract a lot of attention!”

“Feasible. Let's talk first.”

Nan Ye clicked accept, and the other party quickly sent a message: “Hello, I’m the zookeeper Shi Chuhua. I was wondering if you would be willing to come to our base this weekend for a live stream promotion?”

“We can arrange for you to have close contact with all the animals at the base, letting you experience what it’s like to be a zookeeper.”

“However, since Base No. 3 is newly built, our funding is not very abundant at the moment, so we only have a 200,000 publicity subsidy.”

“I wonder if you can accept this?”

Shi Chuhua was also a heavy Douyin user. Having used it for so many years, she knew the fees for advertisements on the platform.

As long as a creator had enough followers, a single advertisement usually cost anywhere from 200,000 to 1,000,000.

And these video advertisements only appeared for 15-30 seconds, which was really short.

Now, they were inviting Nan Ye, who had over ten million followers and was extremely popular recently, to do a live stream promotion.

Not for a few tens of seconds, not for one or two hours, but for one or two days!

Yet, the quoted price was only 200,000.

Honestly, Shi Chuhua herself didn't think there was any hope.

But what could she do? The base's budget was only that much.

Nan Ye, on the other hand, wasn't thinking that way at all.

The opportunity to have close contact with all the animals was not something everyone could get.

Normally, people could only see them through fences, at most feeding them some food.

How could that compare to the joy of petting a panda?

Go, go, go! He absolutely had to go! His heart, longing for cute pets, was already parched with anticipation!

This weekend was September 22nd, so going to Panda City for a trip would be nice.

He would come back next week to practice singing.

Hmm, it was happily decided.

So, Nan Ye replied directly:

“Hello, this weekend works. About what time?”

“Oh, right, could you send me the location? It would be easier to find.”

Shi Chuhua, feeling anxious, heard the message notification and quickly opened WeChat, but then didn't dare to look.

The probability of rejection should be greater than 99%, right?

Forget it, regardless of whether it worked or not, she had to report it to the director.

“Sure enough, he still…”

Shi Chuhua, muttering to herself, suddenly closed her mouth.

No, he didn't refuse; he agreed.

Oh my god, he really agreed!

“Hello, Director, he agreed! Nan Ye agreed to come to our base this weekend!”

Upon hearing this, the director excitedly slapped the table: “Good, good, good! You did great! Salary increase this month!”

To be able to invite Nan Ye for 200,000 was truly a massive stroke of luck.

After hanging up the phone, the director suddenly felt his hand hurt a little.

“Hiss…”

It was getting more and more painful.

Damn it, he had hit the table too hard just now… In the afternoon, Nan Ye's long-awaited car was finally ready.

A Hummer series!

He couldn't afford it in his previous life, but in this life, he could finally own one.

Once money was earned, it should be spent. Leaving it there was just leaving it there, and he couldn't take it with him when he died.

After a drive, Nan Ye was absolutely smitten, unwilling to get out.

Hummers were just domineering; they were one of the symbols of tough guys and strong men.

He drove it to buy a batch of paper, pens, snacks, and other items, then delivered them to an orphanage in Yan City.

Yes, whether in his previous life or this one, their starting point was the same; they all came from here.

Seeing the Hummer parked at the main entrance, the children all gathered around curiously.

At times like these, they would always behave very well, because only by being a little well-behaved might they be noticed and adopted.

The director, Xia He, was a little surprised. It seemed she hadn't invited anyone today.

Besides being the director and a mother figure, Xia He had another identity: Xia Shi’s mother.

Her husband abandoned her and her son, and in a fit of anger, Xia He changed her son's surname to her own.

Later, she came to this orphanage, which is how Nan Ye and Xia Shi came to know each other.

“Xiao Ye, it's you! I thought someone else had arrived!”

“You've made it! You can even afford such a nice car now.”

Xia He was genuinely happy for Nan Ye, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out a bit.

“Godmother, I'll move these things inside first.”

The paper, pens, and snacks Nan Ye bought were actually for these children.

Having come from the same place, he understood the plight of these children.

“Godmother, take this card. There’s 300,000 inside.”

Xia He's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't dare to accept it. She knew Nan Ye was a celebrity now, but she hadn't expected him to be so generous.

Did being a celebrity really earn that much money?

“No, Xiao Ye, you should save this money for getting married and starting a family. Besides, you still have a car to maintain, and there are many places where you'll need money.”

“We have government subsidies here; it's enough.”

Nan Ye directly slipped the card into Xia He's hand. “Don't worry, Godmother, I still have plenty.”

“Besides, this is for the children. Even if schooling doesn't cost money, what about school bags, paper, pens, clothes, shoes, and so on? Don't those cost money?”

“And the children's beds haven't been replaced in years.”

“Take it; it will always be useful.”

Xia He confirmed again: “Do you really still have money?”

“Yes, don't worry!”

With Nan Ye's affirmation, Xia He no longer declined. These children were half hers, and of course, she hoped they could live a better life.

After playing with the children for quite a while, Nan Ye finally left… The next day.

Nan Ye opened his live stream.

With Nan Ye's current popularity, hundreds of thousands of people would watch online without any effort.

“Hello everyone, today we won't be delivering food. Our destination this time is the Panda Base. We're going to see pandas!”

“Wow, we're actually going to the Panda Base! I'm so excited! I've never seen a panda in my life!”

“Just asking, besides pandas, what other animals are at the Panda Base?”

“Oh, there are many! There are also swans, peacocks, red pandas… Each base is different.”

Nan Ye loaded his packed items into the car one by one.

“This time, I'm going on a road trip. Anyway, I still have two days, which is plenty of time!”

“It's a Hummer! It looks so grand. This car has always been my favorite.”

“It's not easy to get a Hummer in this day and age.”

“Nan Ye is really different from other celebrities. Others like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc., but he's the one who would choose a Hummer.”

“…”

When the car arrived at a section of road where wild animals frequently appeared, and he heard the calls of animals there.

Nan Ye suddenly remembered that he still had one thing to do.

“System, exchange for the Animal Communication skill.”

This divine skill, impossible for humans to possess, Nan Ye had been longing for for a long time.

It would come in handy at the Panda Base.

“Successfully exchanged, deducting 50 million emotional points.”

“Since the host is purchasing such an expensive skill for the first time, we'll give you a 20% discount on eliminating the side effects later!”

A 20% discount meant 80 million emotional points, saving 20 million, which was still pretty good.

“Eliminate them!”

He was once again emptied by the system.
