Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1613: Staff’s Animal Performance

Chen Kangtuo and Ruan Guangjian walked around casually. Even if they did not touch these small, hairy cuties, they would feel like they were cured just looking at them from afar.

Chen Kangtuo sighed. “I think we should arrange a zoo tour package for Brother Bao after the haunted house project is completed.”

“After all, the mental stress he suffered in the haunted house is too great. If we bring him to the zoo to heal him, it would also show our care and concern for him.”

“Eh, there’s a bird there.”

The two of them had unknowingly arrived near the next entrance of the cold and warm zoo. The Amazon parakeet was looking at the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine next to it as if it was facing a formidable enemy.

Chen Kangtuo was a little surprised as he asked, “Why is there a Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine here? What is it for?”

Ruan Guangjian looked at the parakeet and then at the Bickering Machine. “I feel like this parakeet seems to be on guard against the Bickering Machine. I wonder if I’m hallucinating.”

Both of them felt that this scene was very interesting and could not help but stay for a while.

However, no matter how Chen Kangtuo tried to make the parakeet speak, the parakeet remained indifferent. Its eyes were glazing at the bickering machine, as if it was always on guard. It ignored Chen Kangtuo’s teasing as a buzzing fly in its ear.

“That’s strange. I don’t think this parakeet can speak, right?” Chen Kangtuo did not think too much about it. After all, very few parakeets could speak. They were geniuses among parakeets. Most of the parakeets could not speak.

However, just as the two of them were about to leave, they saw a keeper return from the cage beside them.

The keeper looked at the time. “Alright, bickering. It’s almost time for today’s training. Are you ready?”

Chen Kangtuo was shocked.

Bickering... Is that the name of this bird?

The keeper checked the time and confirmed that there was no mistake. Then, he said to the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine, “Activate the Bickering Mode.”

This sentence was like entering some mysterious code, opening a sinful door.

AEEIS: “Alright, there will always be arrogant humans who want to start such boring games. Do you think you are very smart?”

Chen Kangtuo and Ruan Guangjian did not even dare to breathe, afraid that they would interfere with the game between the birds and the machine. They waited for the answer of the bird seriously.

The parakeet opened its mouth and answered, “Why would you think that way?”

AEEIS: “That’s because I think there’s still a lot of room for improvement in your IQ. Do you think you’re a hardworking person?”

The parakeet said, “Do you really think that there’s no problem with your thinking?”

The bird and the machine really began to speak.

Chen Kangtuo and Ruan Guangjian watched on in shock. They realized that the parakeet could stabilize the situation in the war against the Bickering Machine and was not at a disadvantage at all.

In fact, on closer inspection, one would realize that these conversations were more common in the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine.

These inputted words were actually a diversion problem. It was to provoke and win by pulling the other party to the same level of IQ and finally bickering.

In other words, the Parro was completely imitating the Victorious Bickering Method of the Bickering Machine. The Parro would not be angered by the Bickering Machine and would only faithfully repeat the content of the Bickering Machine. Both sides were absolutely rational existences. Naturally, they would be inseparable. No one could win against each other.

This seemed to prove the ultimate meaning of bickering. There were only two points.

First, he had to remain calm and not be overwhelmed by anger and break through his defense!

Second, he insisted on not giving up. He must not be the second-to-last person to speak. He had to ensure that the last sentence must be from him.

Both of them were obviously at the peak of the bickering world. However, the parakeet was still stretched in terms of specific terms. Obviously, it was due to insufficient learning time.

He believed that over time, the Parro Bickering Machine would be able to learn all the sentences in the Victorious Bickering Machine. Then, this Parro would be regarded as a live Bickering Machine.

Chen Kangtuo and Ruan Guangjian could not help but respect him.

Good lord, the other cocktails learned how to speak, but this one learned how to bicker directly!

It was in the lead for decades!

The two of them had no doubt that ordinary tourists would be rendered speechless and doubtful of life if they treated the parakeet as an ordinary bird and spoke to it normally.

Chen Kangtuo sighed. “Boss Pei, you’re really good at coming up with strange ideas. How did you think of the connection between the Parro and the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine? Honestly, it’s quite entertaining.”

The two of them walked around and unknowingly turned to a stage.

Chen Kangtuo said subconsciously, “This should be the place to perform beast taming, right?”

“However, there are no commonly seen animals in this zoo. There are no monkeys or black bears. What animals should they train to perform? A Bian Mu? A Parro?”

“I wonder when the performance will start.”

Ruan Guangjian looked at the sign next to the stage. “I have good news and bad news.”

“The good news is that there will be a performance in 10 minutes.”

Chen Kangtuo said, “What’s the bad news?”

Ruan Guangjian was silent for a moment. “It’s not an animal performance, but a zoo employee’s performance.”

Chen Kangtuo almost thought that he had heard wrongly. He looked at the sign in shock and realized that Ruan Guangjian was right. This was not a venue for animals to perform, but a venue for employees to perform!

The billboard was written clearly. There would be employees performing at fixed times every day. There would be one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The content of the performance was actually the employees acting as various animals.

Some employees would dress up as chimpanzees and cycles while others would dress up as bears and walk the wooden bridge...

There was a note below the sign. More exciting performance would be released in the future.

Chen Kangtuo felt light-headed. “This... is crazy!”

Even as the person-in-charge of Tengda Corporation, Chen Kangtuo could not understand this thinking.

Logically speaking, it should not be a big deal for the zoo to organize some animal performances. If they did not want to torture these animals, they might as well not do it. Why create a stage?

In the end, he used a real person to act as an animal. It was simply nonsense. It was unnecessary.

However, to be honest... he really wanted to watch it.

Chen Kangtuo looked at the time and suggested. “The performance is about to start. Why don’t we sit down and take a look?”

Ruan Guangjian nodded and sat in the first row with Chen Kangtuo.

Ten minutes later, the performance was about to begin.

Chen Kangtuo turned around. There were not many people in the audience.

The cold and warm zoo was not as big as the large zoos. The area of the venue was relatively small, so there were not many seats in the audience. Even so, it was not full.

On one hand, it was because there were very few people who came to the zoo today. On the other hand, it was also because everyone was not interested in such real-life animal performances.

Those who stayed behind were basically curious like Chen Kangtuo.

The performance started on time.

What surprised Chen Kangtuo was that there were no beast tamers at the scene. Instead, “animals” went on stage in the arranged order. It was very natural, as if they were in their own home.

Chen Kangtuo looked closer. There were many animals here, but the type seemed to be a little singular.

There were brown bears, gray bears, polar bears, pandas, chimpanzees, and even a large groundhog.

However, these animals were all similar in size. It could be seen that they were played by humans.

The first few bears and chimpanzees were the most similar. After all, these animals were about the size of humans.

However, this groundhog was going overboard. That was because it had magnified the real groundhog by several times.

Putting aside the body shape, the leather set was really exquisite. It was obviously custom-made.

At first glance, it looked realistic!

These staff acting as animals should have been specially trained. Their expressions were very similar to that of animals whether they were walking, running, or sitting on the ground.

Chen Kangtuo still remembered that he had seen a news article previously. It said that a tourist had reported that the black bear in the zoo was a human disguise. In the end, the zoo clarified that it was a real animal. That was because the black bear was too similar to humans in certain aspects. It was easier to disguise it.

In the end, he did not expect that the cold and warm zoo would really do a job!

The animals that these people were acting as went on stage one by one. What surprised Chen Kangtuo was that even though the content of their initial performance was related to animal performances, such as cycling, walking the wooden bridge, and so on, he would realize that it was fundamentally different from animal performances in the future.

First of all, the animal performances were done according to a specific rule under the command of the beast tamer. The animals that these staff played did not need the beast tamer and completed the corresponding process themselves.

Of course, this was normal. After all, they were all disguised as humans. There was no need for beast tamers to guide them.

However, more importantly, Chen Kangtuo realized that these animal performances looked more and more like some kind of mute show.

That was because they were still performing traditional projects such as bicycle riding and wooden bridge at the beginning. However, these animals soon acted in skit.

For example, after the chimpanzee cycled his bicycle, the silly and round panda beside him also tried to ride his bicycle. In the end, he could not ride it no matter how hard he tried. He angrily pushed the bicycle aside, his silly expression causing many people to laugh.

On the other hand, the black bear and a polar bear were squeezed together when walking on the wooden bridge. The two bears looked at each other, threatening each other but not giving in to each other. The various movements they made on the wooden bridge made people laugh.

That large groundhog was the most ridiculous. It even displayed the expression pack of the standing groundhog shouting, causing everyone to burst into laughter below the stage.

These animals might not have any lines but they were walking on stage and minded their own business. There would also be some small plot of cooperation or confrontation between them. Coupled with some deliberately funny arrangements in the plot, it would have a very good program effect.

This was indeed not a real animal but played by a real person. However, this did not become a deduction. Instead, it became a bonus.

After all, imitating animals was a technical job. This could no longer be considered an animal performance, but a performance artist’s imitation.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ
