He pondered for a moment, then took out his phone, and searched the internet, and his pupils suddenly contracted as he exclaimed, “Oh my, this looks like the Seychelles Giant Tortoise!”
“Grandpa, are you sure you didn’t mistake it?” Shen Jiayao exclaimed in surprise after hearing his grandfather’s words.
“Yellow Head, symmetrical large scales on the top, a large black patch in the center of the dorsal scutes… all the features are too obvious. This is indeed the Seychelles Giant Tortoise. It’s unlikely that I make a mistake with this, but even then, how is this possible?” Shen Hong exclaimed excitedly.
“Why is it impossible? Could it be…” Liu Yin asked.
“You’re not guessing wrong. It seems like another extinct species,” Zhu Jianhua sighed and said, “I happen to know about it, so I know. The Seychelles Giant Tortoise is named after the Seychelles Islands. It’s also called the Marion Giant Tortoise because the last Seychelles Giant Tortoise in the world was named Marion. It became the symbol. As a representative, it died due to an accidental gunshot, marking the moment of the Seychelles Giant Tortoise’s extinction. Of course, the so-called extinction seems to be in the past now.”
(From Translator- The Seychelles giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys Gigantea Hololissa), also known as the Seychelles Domed Giant Tortoise, is a tortoise subspecies in the genus Aldabrachelys. It inhabited the large central granitic Seychelles islands but was hunted in vast numbers by European sailors. By around 1840 it was presumed to be extinct, along with Arnold’s giant tortoise, a subspecies that shared the same islands. It was recently [On October 2020 ] rediscovered. Currently, a little over a hundred individuals exist. So when this novel was written by the Writer, it was still presumed to be extinct)
The others were left speechless when they heard this. They couldn’t utter a single word. How could one extinct species after another suddenly appear here?
This was defying the natural order. Moreover, compared to the previous two mice species, the Seychelles Giant Tortoise appeared to be even more fascinating and awe-inspiring
Even if it weren’t an extinct species, it would surely be highly sought after. With the title of an extinct species, its value was even more remarkable. It was truly a rare treasure.
“Oh my, this garden is incredibly valuable.”
“A garden with three extinct species, this is absolutely insane.”
“How can other zoos compete with this?”
“Damn, this trip has been truly worthwhile.”
Many people excitedly took photos and posted them on their social media, prompting even more people who had managed to secure tickets to rush to Zhongyun Zoo. The rate of entry into the zoo reached an all-time high, leaving those who hadn’t obtained tickets even more frustrated with themselves.
“Damn it! Not only do they have the White Peacock and the Yangtze Giant Softshell Turtle, but there are also three extinct species! I have to go and see it. I really want to go!”
“Ah, how can the zoo be sold out of tickets? What’s the point of having no limit on tickets?”
“You don’t understand. With the current speed of entry at Zhongyun Zoo, it won’t be long before it became overcrowded. If they sell more tickets, people might actually get trampled to death.”
“Is it really that crowded?”
“It’s not an exaggeration at all. Don’t underestimate Su Jing’s influence and the appeal of extinct lifeforms. They had no choice but to limit the number of tickets.”
“Why is there so much traffic?” Ye Bo was getting increasingly anxious as they encountered heavy traffic on the way, and it seemed to be getting worse.
“It’s peak hours now, and this road is usually a bit congested. But today, with so many people heading to Zhongyun Zoo, it’s even worse. Traffic jams are to be expected,” The driver explained.
“Old Ye, take a look. There’s new news about Zhongyun Zoo.” Sitting next to Ye Bo, a young man who was playing with his phone suddenly spoke up.
“What’s the news?” Ye Bo asked.
“Take a look.” The young man excitedly handed his phone to Ye Bo.
“This… How is this possible?” Ye Bo glanced at the screen and his eyes widened. “White-Footed Rabbit Rat, Big Eared Hopping Mouse (Notomys Macrotis), Seychelles Giant Tortoise. How is this possible?”
“This is astonishing. Su Jing truly lives up to his reputation. Whenever he makes a move, it’s bound to be earth-shattering. I should have gone earlier,” The young man regretfully exclaimed.
“What’s the use of saying that now? Can’t the driver go any faster?” Ye Bo impatiently urged.
“The traffic is at a standstill. How can I go any faster? It would be a miracle if we get moving at all.” The driver replied with a helpless expression on his face.
“Old Ye, I just remembered something. We don’t have tickets. It seems impossible to buy tickets now,” The young man said.
“It’s fine. I’ll make a call to A’Jing. He should still give me some face,” Ye Bo made a phone call to Su Jing.
As he expected, Su Jing readily agreed to give him tickets. However, the car was still stuck in heavy traffic, and no matter how anxious they were, it wouldn’t change the situation.
“Brother Zhuo, A’Jing has truly caused a sensation,” Zheng Nan entered the office of the Galactic Corporation and said to Wang Zhuo.
“I knew I wasn’t wrong. Tell me about it,” Wang Zhuo spoke while he picked up his cup and took a sip of water.
“We have seen several incredible animals so far: The White Peacock, Yangtze Giant Softshell Turtle, White-footed Rabbit Rat, Big Eared Hopping Mouse (Notomys Macrotis), and Seychelles Giant Tortoise. Among them, the Yangtze Giant Softshell Turtle, which originally had only two specimens in the world, now suddenly has three more. As for the other three species, they were all previously extinct,” Zheng Nan explained.
“Ha!” Wang Zhuo sprayed the water in his mouth and exclaimed, “I knew he would make a big splash, but I didn’t expect it to be this big. He has three specimens of a species that only had two in the world and three extinct species. Isn’t he defying the laws of nature?”
“And it seems like it’s not over yet,” Zheng Nan chuckled.
“Zhongyun Zoo is bound to make waves worldwide. We can’t let such explosive news go to waste. Let’s make use of it,” Wang Zhuo said.
“Agreed,” Zheng Nan nodded. They had reached a tacit understanding. When Su Jing caused a stir, they would handle the aftermath and assist Su Jing in developing the Galactic Corporation Group.
