Super Zoo

Actually, due to the needs of treatment, the mother finless porpoise was strictly protected. The treatment room built by the side of Shuijun Lake was surrounded by reflective warning tape, and there were patrol officers from the police station who would not allow any unrelated people to approach, so the majority of visitors had no chance to see the large finless porpoise up close.

Although they missed seeing the large finless porpoise, the visitors were not disappointed, as their attention was quickly drawn to two young finless porpoises frolicking in the lake.

The young finless porpoises were naturally friendly towards people, and with Suming's secret "instructions," they would also intentionally approach the visitors, acting cute and coy up close, quickly capturing the hearts of many tourists.

In these few days, the zoo's ticket sales skyrocketed, pleasing Mrs. Tong so much that she couldn't stop smiling, and Shuijun Lake also became famous in the process.

Over at the treatment room, to avoid frightening or infecting the large finless porpoise, only Professor Chu and a few medical personnel could come and go. Other staff members of the zoo, including Mr. Song, were not allowed to enter freely.

Although Suming was the finless porpoise's lifesaver, he was not a member of the medical staff, and treating the finless porpoise was not his responsibility. At first, he was among those restricted from entering freely.

Yet for some reason, after the large finless porpoise had slightly recovered its strength, it suddenly refused to take its medicine and was very resistant to human proximity. Whenever there was someone in the treatment room, the large finless porpoise would become very nervous, unwilling to quietly accept treatment and constantly thrashing its body.

This disturbance not only prevented its recovery but also showed signs of worsening its condition.

Professor Chu was an expert in this field and had encountered such a situation more than once. The large finless porpoise was originally a wild animal, and it had been injured due to a collision with a human, most likely developing a "psychological shadow" towards humans.

To get the large finless porpoise to accept treatment, Professor Chu had the medical personnel inject it with a sedative.

But each time the effect of the sedative wore off, it would start causing trouble again.

Sedatives and anesthetics, if injected multiple times, can cause irreversible harm to an organism, reducing biological function and intelligence—possibly even turning it into a vegetative "plant fish." The large finless porpoise was now a precious commodity, being closely watched by the government, media, and public. There was no room for error. Professor Chu did not dare to force it, yet he could not just let the porpoise die from its injuries. In just two or three days, having tried countless solutions to no avail, he was so anxious that his hair turned white.

When Mr. Song heard of the situation, he casually reminded Chu, "Su is the finless porpoise's lifesaver, why not let Su try? The kid has a way with animals, even the troublemakers in the zoo are quite obedient under his care."

Initially, Chu wasn't very hopeful. The animals in the zoo were artificially bred, nothing like wild finless porpoises. Taming animals did not mean he could make the finless porpoise obedient.

But he had no other options. With the mindset of a dead horse being used as a live horse doctor, he let Suming give it a try.

When Suming walked into the treatment room, something astonishing occurred!

The previously disobedient large finless porpoise suddenly calmed down, even making an effort to prop up its body and crawl to Suming's feet, affectionately rubbing its large head against Suming's legs, showing none of its earlier defiance but resembling a well-behaved little girl, or rather, a young wife...

A few medical staff members and Professor Chu were stunned then and there, with faces full of bewilderment.

"Where's the medicine?" Suming gestured to Liang Shi, who was preparing the medication, with a flick of his finger, and Liang Shi, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly passed a large syringe full of medication to Suming.

Suming squatted down and patted the large finless porpoise's head, saying, "Good girl, open your mouth."

Previously, administering medicine to the large finless porpoise was a hassle, requiring it to be restrained with bands, then two people had to force open its mouth and inject the medication inside. Despite this, most of the medicine would still be expelled by the finless porpoise.

But at that moment, with just a simple command from Suming, the large finless porpoise seemed to understand and obediently opened its mouth, allowing Suming to inject the medication.

The medicine was bitter and astringent, and after ingesting it, the Yangtze river dolphin flapped its flippers near its mouth a few times in dissatisfaction, making discontented humming sounds as if it found the taste quite unpleasant.

"Have a candy..." Suming reached into his pocket, unwrapped a piece of milk candy, and popped it into the river dolphin's mouth.

"You can't just feed it anything..." just as Liang Shi was about to stop Suming, Professor Chu, who had been observing from the side, stopped him.

Suming then fed the river dolphin several other types of medicine and, finally, some perch as food. After having its fill, the river dolphin was finally willing to lie in the water quietly and heal.

Liang Shi quickly took the opportunity to attach several metal plates connected to a device onto the river dolphin's body, focusing on the readings to monitor its recovery.

Professor Chu pulled Suming out of the treatment room and asked, "Su, do you have some sort of method? Why does the river dolphin listen to you so well?"

Suming thought it amusing inside. Wasn't it obvious? At the critical moment when the river dolphin's life was hanging by a thread, he had continuously infused it with spiritual power for six or seven hours straight. As a result, an indelible mark was left in the river dolphin's consciousness. Combined with his ability to communicate with the dolphin directly, it would be strange if it didn't listen to him.

But he couldn't just tell Professor Chu plainly, so Suming smiled and said, "Nothing special, really. It's probably just like what Mr. Song said, I saved it, so it trusts me more, I guess."

This explanation seemed somewhat far-fetched, but beyond that, Professor Chu really couldn't think of any other explanation.

Besides, the intelligence of river dolphins is already quite high, comparable to that of a three or four-year-old child. Children of that age rarely act on reason and often go with their feelings, listening to those they like.

At that moment, Liang Shi rushed out of the treatment room, his face alight with joy as he held up the detector and exclaimed, "Professor, look, the river dolphin's recovery effect is especially good this time, and the medicine's effectiveness has even exceeded the best expectation by more than 20%!"

"Oh? Better than the best expectation?" While Professor Chu's eyebrows lifted in delight, he felt somewhat puzzled as well.

Exceeding the best expectations was undeniably a good thing. However, the effects of the medicine were scientifically calculated and verified, with the upper and lower limits determined by countless scientific experiments. The medicine purchased for the river dolphin was also top quality, free from any counterfeit or substandard issues. How could it exceed the best medicinal effect?

He looked at Suming with suspicion, as if trying to find the answer in his expression.

Suming chuckled, saying half-jokingly, "It's just like with people, if you're in a good mood, you heal better, that's all."

"That sounds pretty reasonable."

Professor Chu realized that Suming definitely had some 'trick up his sleeve,' but extracting it from him was simply impossible.

He pushed back a few stray hairs from his forehead and said to Suming, "Well, since the river dolphin's mood improves when it sees you, it looks like you're going to be busy for a while. From now on, you'll have to visit the treatment room three times a day, morning, noon, and evening, for an hour each time to feed the dolphin its medicine!"

"What about my actual job?" Suming asked.

"Saving the life of a river dolphin is the greatest contribution you can make to the country!"

And so Suming, the temporary worker, became someone who had to clock in at the treatment room 'for work' at scheduled times each day to contribute to the nation.
