The bankrupt zoo was saved entirely by the parrots' foul mouths.

Xichuan, Zizhou.

Inside a zoo on the verge of bankruptcy in a small, fifth-tier city.

Chen Feng looked at the sign hanging in his office that read "Zizhou Zoo" and felt a pang of unease.

"Quiet down, quiet down!"

"Um... everyone, I, Chen Feng, am so sorry, I really can't hold on any longer, I'm so sorry..."

When Chen Feng first transmigrated to this parallel world, he was running a zoo that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

I originally thought that as a time traveler, I would be able to successfully revitalize the zoo.

However, it turned out that he was not a business genius and did not have that ability.

We've tried everything we could think of, but the zoo has entered a slow death phase.

Six months later, Chen Feng had spent all his savings and ultimately failed to save the zoo.

So even though what he was about to announce was painful, he had no choice but to make the announcement...

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the previously noisy scene immediately fell silent.

The zoo staff seemed to have anticipated something; they all appeared calm, but no one knew what they were really thinking.

"Everyone, thank you for your continued help and companionship, and thank you for taking care of the animals day and night."

"It's because I, Chen Feng, am incompetent; Zizhou Zoo has gone bankrupt..."

"I'll be distributing everyone's wages for this month in a little while. After that, we'll all go our separate ways..."

"Here, I wish everyone great success in the future and that you will all realize your dreams."

"Friends! See you again in the martial world..."

After saying this, Chen Feng felt as if his soul had been ripped away, yet also as if he had been freed; he couldn't quite describe the feeling.

……

After he paid his employees their last month's wages, he had only a little over two thousand yuan left in the zoo and his personal bank account, and all hope was gone.

But he didn't regret it. Compared to continuing to struggle and not being able to pay wages in the end, everyone would lose even their last shred of dignity.

This is already the best possible outcome.

After receiving their wages, everyone left one after another.

Some people left decisively, even with a look of relief on their faces that said, "Luckily, I got my salary."

Some people looked reluctant to leave, but in the end they still left, turning back every few steps.

In the end, only one fat man, weighing at least 200 pounds, remained in the zoo office.

"Aren't you leaving, Xiao Qin?"

Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled.

The fat man's name is Qin Yuqing, a very elegant and sophisticated name, but it doesn't match his appearance at all.

People even mocked him based on his name and appearance, and even more outrageous, some suspected him of stealing animal food...

He wasn't angry about it; he's a very good-tempered young man.

"Brother Feng, I'll miss you and the animals. Can I come again tomorrow?"

"I don't need a salary, I just want to continue taking care of Xingzai and the others..."

The fat man's face was full of anticipation and reluctance; it was clear that he was truly reluctant to leave the zoo and the animals.

This guy joined Zizhou Zoo right after graduation and worked there diligently for three years. He was Chen Feng's favorite employee.

Unexpectedly, the person who stayed with him until the very end was this usually taciturn, chubby man, which moved Chen Feng deeply...

"Okay, you can come anytime until I sell this land and until the animals are taken in by other zoos."

"I'll figure something out regarding the salary..."

Chen Feng sighed.

"No!" the fat man said firmly. "Brother Feng, I said I don't need a salary, just let me do it!"

"I know you're having a hard time too. I'll try to figure out how to feed the animals during this time..."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Feng's agreement, the fat man turned and left.

All that remained for Chen Feng was a resolute silhouette.

……

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling zoo was left with only Chen Feng.

At that moment, Chen Feng suddenly felt very lonely.

He habitually took out his cigarette case from his pocket, and when he found that he only had one cigarette left, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

Thinking back to when he first came into this world, he was smoking Huazi cigarettes, but now...

I can barely afford a bag of plums that costs seven yuan.

Chen Feng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, picked up his keys, and prepared to lock the door and leave.

However, at that moment, a mechanical voice suddenly appeared in Chen Feng's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Strongest Beast Tamer System has been successfully bound!]

Animals raised by the host will randomly mutate under specific conditions. The specific functions are left for the host to develop. This system is dedicated to serving you...

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Feng was taken aback for a moment, but then he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"She must be too tired; she's even hallucinating..."

When he first transmigrated, Chen Feng eagerly awaited the appearance of the system.

But after experiencing the harsh realities of society, Chen Feng had completely given up hope and no longer fantasized about such unrealistic things.

After exiting the gate, Chen Feng locked the zoo gate, which was now overgrown with weeds.

Then he opened the door of a used van, and after starting the engine, Chen Feng realized that a cockatoo from the zoo had somehow gotten into the car with him.

Right now, the cockatoo is standing on the gearshift, swaying back and forth, looking at Chen Feng with a face full of curiosity.

It's like saying, "Are you leaving?"

Upon seeing the adorable little animal, Chen Feng suddenly felt much better and smiled.

He reached out and gently pinched the cockatoo's little head, speaking softly:

"Brother Chicken, you're going to miss me too?"

As the zoo director and owner, Chen Feng naturally knew the name of every animal in the zoo.

Even the name of this cockatoo, "Chicken Brother," was personally chosen by Chen Feng!

The reason for this name is naturally because of a certain joke from a past life...

"Chirp chirp... Squeak squeak squeak..."

The rooster let out a few melodious cries, shook its little head, and showed a very comfortable expression.

It seemed to really enjoy Chen Feng rubbing its head.

Chen Feng would never normally bring animals from the zoo home, because it was against the rules.

However, considering that he wouldn't see them again soon, Chen Feng didn't choose to send Chicken Brother back to the zoo this time.

He drove silently and quietly brought Brother Chicken home.

When Chen Feng first transmigrated, he lived in a villa. Half a year later, he had gone from being a villa resident to a tenant in a dilapidated old apartment...

Does Chen Feng regret what happened to the zoo? Actually, he himself isn't sure.

Just looking at Chicken Bro, who was hopping around at home and occasionally picking up a chopstick and shaking it, Chen Feng suddenly felt much better.

That evening, Chen Feng had an argument with the business partner who had previously lent him money.

When Chen Feng lent him money before, that guy acted like a grandson. Now that Chen Feng is in trouble and wants to ask him to repay the money, that guy is acting like a grandpa.

On the phone, Chen Feng vented all the anger he had been holding in for months, cursing vehemently in the Sichuan dialect!

Although we didn't get the money in the end, it was really satisfying!

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

"Hot mommy!"

"Idiot!"

"Chen Feng! My youngest son!"

……

Chen Feng groggily opened his eyes, completely bewildered...
