I have a wildlife zoo

However, Director Fei still held onto a sliver of hope, "Maybe the black balls could also contain some good stuff?"

He cracked open the capsule, "A fox keychain! A classic and stylish little keychain. Honestly, speaking the truth, the craftsmanship is pretty decent.

What about this one? Another classic and stylish little badge, yet another badge!"

Director Fei's gaze towards the camera gradually became vacant, and his hands began to tremble, the badge he was holding seeming like it was about to drop to the ground!

He sucked in a breath through his clenched teeth and slapped his thigh, "Damn it, what a jinxed machine! Once more, I refuse to believe it! It's not possible to be unlucky all the time, right, Shrek?"

Clang, clang, two more black balls fell out!

Director Fei felt everything go dark before his eyes!

He felt like others also had a high chance of getting white balls, so why was it that when it came to him, they were all black?

Opening the capsule, he found two classic and stylish little keychains.

Director Fei's expression was one of unspeakable discomfort, "Damn, guys, I'm getting a bit panicky here! I've drawn 7, all black, only three tickets left!"

With other capsule toy machines, Fei could still use the banknote ability to sweep the prizes if he couldn't draw any.

But with the Linhai Zoo's machine, the tickets were exchanged for knowledge; there was nowhere to spend money even if he wanted to.

Director Fei waved over to the chubby cameraman, "Come on, Shrek, you try drawing a few!"

Shrek smiled confidently and relaxed, "You're no good at this, watch me show you what a magic touch is."

Now it was Director Fei's turn to film!

Shrek gave it a twist, clang, a white ball fell out!

Director Fei's eyes widened, "Damn! Shrek's got the magic touch! What's inside?"

Opening the capsule, it contained a red-crowned crane folding fan!

"Oh! Nice, worth it! Keep it up, Shrek!"

Shrek gave it another twist, this time a shiny golden ball came out!

"Damn, Shrek, you've got it going on!"

He couldn't wait to open the golden ball, inside was a coupon for a panda shirt.

Director Fei laughed like a fool, "Ha ha, ha ha ha! This is really good, a stylish little T-shirt! One more!"

The last twist yielded a white ball, the prize a chibi-style peafowl plushie.

Director Fei drew 7 black ones in 7 draws, while Shrek drew 2 white and 1 gold in 3 tries, which was more in line with the odds.

Yingying's father watched with amusement, "Those two chubby kids, both equally chubby, but why is their luck so different?"

Liu Xueqing patted Yingying's head and laughed, "Yingying, you have a go too!"

Yingying, "Okay!"

After the draw, Director Fei scurried off to find a staff member to redeem the prizes and came back to quietly complain, "That staff member was really a beefcake, built even bigger than me – and all muscle on him.

Let's take a look at our prizes, eh, first up is this red-crowned crane folding fan!"

He flicked it open with a swoosh, trying to unfurl it stylishly, but failed, chuckling sheepishly.

He showed it off to the camera, "Ah, this folding fan truly is beautiful, it's a red-crowned crane, isn't it? With that red patch on its head."

He fanned himself, full of joy, "To have such a lovely folding fan to cool off in the summer, not only does it make you feel the cool breeze on your face, but it brightens up your mood considerably! Really nice."

After putting it away, he showcased the peafowl plushie, laughing, "This little plushie is quite cute, feels so soft to the touch.

For the T-shirt prize, the staff guy told me they didn't have my size, said it was too big, and I could swap it, but I didn't!"

He grandly waved his hand, "This T-shirt will be a gift to all! You can enter my giveaway to win it. I won't raffle the plushie, I'm quite fond of it myself.

What a shame we didn't win the special prize!

"Do you guys think we came out ahead or at a loss today? Haha, of course, we came out ahead. We only spent 30 yuan on the entrance fee, and not only did we visit the zoo, but we also got all these great things."

While Director Fei was chattering away, Yingying also stepped up to the capsule toy machine.

Having watched for a while now, she figured out how the machine worked. She inserted the raffle ticket, and turned the knob with her small hand.

Clunk, a colorful capsule toy fell out.

Shrek, filming the video, caught sight of a colorful capsule emerging from the machine behind them, inhaling sharply, his eyes widened involuntarily!

Yingying, not quite clear about the differences in color between the capsules, showed little reaction and handed it to Liu Xueqing, "Mama, can you help me open it?"

Liu Xueqing's heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit!

This colorful capsule, it seems a bit rare, doesn't it? Could it be the super-size panda plushie?

But then she calmed down again, reasoning that there was only one special prize—how could they have been so lucky to win it? It was probably some small plushie or something.

She smiled and said, "Let's see what you've won."

With a gentle twist, the paper inside wasn't the usual white but a colored one.

On it were a few gleaming words: "Special Prize."

Liu Xueqing exclaimed excitedly, covering her mouth with her hand, "Wow, darling, you're amazing! You won the giant panda!"

Yingying's father waved the colored paper in the distance, "We won! We actually won!"

Actually, the value of a panda plushie isn't the most important thing.

Winning the special prize out of so many people, just happened to be us, feels like being the chosen one. That's what excites people the most.

As Director Fei was talking, he noticed something off with Shrek—the camera wasn't pointing at him. "Eh, what are you filming?"

Shrek pointed a finger, "Looks like someone won the special prize behind us, just one ball away."

Director Fei's eyes bulged, "Damn, for real?"

Meng Shi was sitting at a table managing the prize redemption, mainly in charge of maintaining order and ringing the gong to spread festive cheer, as was the tradition at Linhai Zoo.

Seeing Yingying come over joyfully with the colored paper, her voice childish, she said, "I want that big panda!"

Meng Shi perked up instantly, rising from his chair, "Congratulations, young girl!"

He lifted his hefty arm and swung the mallet, striking the bronze gong beside him three times with a "gong, gong, gong!"

"Wow, the special prize has been won!"

"And by a little girl!"

Under the large tree on the grassy field, Yingying hugged the giant panda plushie happily, her face pressed against its white belly, looking significantly smaller than the plushie!

Yingying's father chuckled and took a couple of photos, then suddenly remembered something—could his car even fit such a large plushie?

After asking Meng Shi, it turned out the zoo would help to transport it home.

Director Fei beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking forlorn, bringing his index finger close to his thumb, "Ah, bros, we were just this one ball away from winning the special prize! That's just too unlucky!"

But still, congratulations to this little sister. Seeing how happy she is, she must love this big plushie more than we would. Now, she can even sleep on it when she gets home, right?

I hope everyone can hit the like, comment, and share buttons to soothe my wounded heart!"

After wrapping the shoot, Director Fei patted Shrek on the shoulder, "Hey, Shrek, let's go grab something to eat, I'm starving."

"What should we eat?"

"Mm, how about Lion Restaurant? Look, it says they have barbecue on the menu."

The two walked toward Lion Restaurant, chatting and laughing.
