DSMC Chapter 90.2

Following the instructions and Dr. Peng’s previous guidance, Yan Jiyun successfully drew blood from the wolf king.

[Player has successfully collected the gray alpha wolf’s blood sample (2/6).]

Seeing that the gray wolves following the alpha wolf were more or less injured, he began disinfecting their wounds one by one, putting band-aids on the minor ones and wrapping the serious ones with gauze.

This time, aside from his stomach medicine, the rest were combat and protective tools. There were no healing items. Next time he had to remember to prepare some wound-treatment items for himself.

He guessed the alpha wolf had successfully defeated the group of gray wolves organized by the wolf player. He didn’t know where the other group of gray wolves had gone.

The alpha pair was no longer berserk. They decided to return to their familiar area to rest.

After Yan Jiyun finished treating their wounds, he led the tigers clattering out of the cave.

Just as he came out of the artificial hill cave, he suddenly turned around and discovered a black panther squatting on top of the cave. Yan Jiyun waved to it in surprise.

“So you were here. Come down.”

Of course, the black panther wouldn’t be that obedient. It didn’t come down; instead, it stood up and growled toward the rustling forest.

Yan Jiyun knew that the big one following them hadn’t left.

Now that he had tigers and a leopard by his side, he wasn’t as afraid of that big one as before.

He had known who it was from the beginning.

When the black panther lowered its body and was about to charge over, Yan Jiyun called out to it, “Black Panther, don’t go over. Let it come out by itself.”

Less than ten seconds later, a huge lion’s head emerged from the bushes. It was the lion Caesar.

The big lion had been scared off by the tiger and black panther earlier because it had almost bitten Yan Jiyun to death at that time. But now Yan Jiyun was surrounded by several strong-bodied tigers, so Caesar didn’t dare to rashly charge forward.

Yan Jiyun guessed Caesar had come for the cat teaser wand in his hand. Ordinary teaser wands were useless to them, but special system-made items should have special attraction. So far, the black panther, Orange, and the three Zhu sisters had all fallen for its charm.

He hadn’t expected this thing to be so effective on lions too. Choosing items really was about being clever rather than just choosing well.

He had been hanging the teaser wand on the bicycle the whole way, making it jingle, and had thus attracted the lion all the way here.

Yan Jiyun climbed up to the top of the cave where the black panther was standing and swung the teaser wand toward the lion. The big lion Caesar’s gaze alternated between the silver feather glittering in the moonlight and Yan Jiyun and the other felines.

After playing for a while, Yan Jiyun threw the teaser wand aside, and after obtaining the black panther’s consent, drew a tube of blood.

Black Panther: “……” Never expected the one being distracted to be itself.

[Player has successfully collected the black panther’s blood sample (3/6).]

Yan Jiyun placed the black panther’s blood back into the medical kit neatly in satisfaction.

Great. Next was Caesar.

He once again raised the cat teaser wand, eternally effective on felines.

Caesar’s body gradually emerged from the bushes, its gaze fixed on the swaying, silver-glinting feather.

Yan Jiyun extended the teaser wand again, closer to Caesar. Seeing that neither the tigers nor the black panther moved forward or growled at it, Caesar moved two steps closer as well. If it jumped forward one more time, it could pounce on the silver feather.

Yan Jiyun continued to lure the big lion, who looked like it only wanted to play with the teaser wand, thinking to himself that earlier it hadn’t wanted to eat him, but to play with him?

But Caesar didn’t understand the deterrence and fear a human felt toward a giant beast. Besides, in Caesar’s eyes, he was just a cat. Who wouldn’t be scared?

At this moment, Yan Jiyun calmed down and couldn’t help recalling news he’d once seen about big lions playing small lions to death.

Alright then. Maybe it really had just been playing with him back then, and Caesar’s actions proved it definitely wasn’t a player, because players wouldn’t waste time teasing a little cat. It had almost played him to death.

After teasing Caesar for quite a while, Caesar really took the bait.

‘Isn’t the zoo’s enrichment equipments not enough for you? Every one of you is so interested in the teaser wand.’

After playing for a bit, Yan Jiyun wedged the teaser wand into the gap between two artificial rocks, signaling the black panther to push it. The black panther was familiar with this job and naturally stepped up, immediately taking Yan Jiyun’s place.

Yan Jiyun carried the box to the artificial hill.

The alpha wolf pair had come out of the cave at some point, with a group of gray wolf underlings behind it, each poking its head out, quite cute. Possibly when they were preparing to return to their living area, they saw so many tigers and didn’t dare to go out immediately.

Yan Jiyun thought that he only had a few tigers with him, and wasn’t as imposing as the wolf king.

He gestured for Orange and the three Zhu sisters to make way and let them leave, but the wolf king didn’t move, instead helping Yan Jiyun keep an eye on the big lion.

Fine. These kings among kings all had their own ideas; he couldn’t control them anyway.

Seeing Yan Jiyun and Orange approaching, Caesar stopped moving.

Yan Jiyun turned to look at the uneasy Orange behind him and made a gesture. “Orange, stay there first.”

Meng Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat for this zookeeper. Daring to pet tigers, daring to pet a black panther, daring to pet a lion… Jiang You was really something.

Yan Jiyun’s heart was pounding. He approached Caesar bit by bit, afraid that one misstep and Caesar would bite off his hand. In front of it, he was truly tiny.

The distance kept shrinking. Fifty centimeters, thirty centimeters, ten centimeters—

His hand touched Caesar’s head!

Caesar shook the mane on its head, and Yan Jiyun’s hand was almost drowned in the mane.

Great, it didn’t bite him!

Yan Jiyun praised it generously. “Your mane is really nice.”

He continued to push his luck, touching Caesar’s nape and back, praising as he did so, “Your back is strong and powerful too. In the future you’ll definitely be worthy of a beautiful lioness.”

Yan Jiyun took the opportunity to ask Caesar, “Can you let me draw a little blood?”

Caesar was doubtful of this zookeeper. It stepped back, widening the distance between them a little.

Yan Jiyun said, “It’s just borrowing a tiny bit of your blood, just a little. If you don’t let me, that’s fine too. Later they might use more violent methods to make you submit.”

As he spoke, Yan Jiyun made a gun shape with his hand, pointed it at himself, and with a bang fell to the ground.

Then he stood up again and said, “They’ll do this to you. See?”

Caesar: “……”

Yan Jiyun continued brainwashing Caesar. “But if it’s me, I won’t. I’ll play this with you.” He pointed at the teaser wand the black panther was shaking. “Do you understand?”

Caesar half-understood, half-not. It squatted on the ground, watching Yan Jiyun take out a syringe from a box. It had seen this thing before, was not unfamiliar with it, and didn’t like it, instinctively resisting.

Seeing its resistance, Yan Jiyun didn’t rush to act. He even gestured for the black panther to keep shaking the teaser wand, and the black panther continued to do so.

After a brief standoff, Caesar finally agreed to let Yan Jiyun do it.

Dr. Peng’s blood-drawing guide was indeed useful. Yan Jiyun carefully identified the spot, quickly drew the lion’s blood, and finally even bandaged the small wound for it.

[Player has successfully collected the lion’s blood sample (4/6).]

“Caesar, you’re amazing. Later you can just shake this thing off yourself.” Yan Jiyun said as he tidied up the medical kit.

Meng Changsheng, who had been watching from the side the whole time: “……”

What else could he say? He could only shout in his heart: ‘The zookeeper is awesome! The zookeeper is the GOAT!’

After making use of Caesar, Yan Jiyun immediately put away the teaser wand, shortened it, and stuck it onto his bicycle, then continued charging toward the territory of the gorilla and the brown bear with the black panther, Orange, the big white tiger, and the others.

Now only the gorilla and the brown bear were left.

They quickly found the gorilla that was constantly pounding its chest in a frenzy. Whether or not it was the strongest, since it looked this berserk, drawing its blood couldn’t be wrong.

This time Yan Jiyun didn’t need to act. Orange and the black panther rushed forward directly and pinned down the gorilla in its crazed state. Yan Jiyun only needed to draw its blood.

[Player has successfully collected the gorilla’s blood sample (5/6).]

Next was the brown bear, the last large animal!

The brown bear was easy to find too. He needed to just look for the one rubbing against tree branches to scratch its back. Its size alone showed it was the biggest.

Actually, the main thing Yan Jiyun used to find targets wasn’t their size, but their eyes. Animals designated by the system looked at people differently.

The brown bear was not easy to deal with. If it slapped any animal with one paw, Yan Jiyun would find it hard to bear.

This time Caesar went up first to provoke it. The tigers definitely couldn’t hold it down, so they carried out a joint “hunt” to drag the brown bear down. Yan Jiyun injected the last anesthetic syringe from the box into the brown bear, and once it went limp, he immediately drew its blood.

[Player has successfully collected the brown bear’s blood sample (6/6).]

[In fifteen minutes, the blood samples will expire. Please deliver the blood samples to the laboratory as soon as possible.]

“Work done. All that’s left is to deliver them to Dr. Peng.”

For Dr. Peng’s first request, the elephant’s blood sample had twenty minutes to be delivered to the lab, but now there were only fifteen minutes. This was deadly.

Yan Jiyun had no choice but to get back on the bicycle and start sprinting, though in front of the big white tiger he still had to pretend to be extremely calm.

Meng Changsheng had also received the task. Why wasn’t the zookeeper anxious? They would expire in fifteen minutes! He didn’t want his task to fail!

Yan Jiyun was actually pedaling hard.

It’s fine. The distance from the brown bear area to the medical bay isn’t that far.

Just as he was comforting himself, the bicycle chain suddenly started rattling, and the pedal slipped.

Great, it broke at this moment. That trash system was definitely doing it on purpose, clearly trying to exhaust him to death.

Yan Jiyun clenched his teeth tightly and threw the bicycle to the ground.

Damn it.

At this moment, a series of heavy thudding sounds ran toward them.

An elephant was being driven over by a black panther.

The black panther rushed in front of Yan Jiyun and pushed him with its head, signaling him to get on.

The elephant bent its knees to let Yan Jiyun sit on it.

This elephant should be the one Dr. Peng had chased around earlier.

Yan Jiyun turned sorrow into joy and praised the black panther emotionally, “Soy Sauce is amazing.”

The black panther lifted its head slightly. The cub had turned into a two-legged creature, so it couldn’t carry him, but the elephant could do it instead.

Ten minutes later, Yan Jiyun successfully delivered the animals’ blood samples to the laboratory door and finally let out a breath of relief.

He pushed open the laboratory door. Before he could go in, he saw Dr. Zhou pressing the injured Dr. Peng against the wall, Dr. Zhou’s fingers clamped around Dr. Peng’s neck.

Holy shit, Dr. Zhou was actually going to attack the injured Dr. Peng.

Although Yan Jiyun felt no emotional waves inside at this scene, he still kicked toward Dr. Zhou’s side. “What are you doing? Let go of Dr. Peng!”
