Chapter 5 Daily Tasks
Hearing the reminder from his mind, Qi Ming immediately felt relieved and his spirit immediately recovered.

Quickly clicking to enter the game, Qi Ming found a large turntable similar to the game's lottery turntable appeared on the main interface.

The turntable is divided into more than a dozen grids, with the names of animals such as "tiger", "red-crowned crane" and "warthog" written on it.

[Whether to start a lottery! 】

"Didn't you say it was good to reward newcomers with a big gift bag? Why did it become a lottery again?"

Although he said so, Qi Ming still clicked [Yes].
who cares!Let's smoke first.

After Qi Ming pressed the "Yes" option, the turntable started to rotate accompanied by a burst of colorful lights.

Looking at the names with beating pointers, Qi Ming's heart couldn't help but hang,

Although I don’t know if the names of the animals on the turntable refer to the animals themselves or something else,
But Qi Ming also knows that the more expensive the animal, the better the things it represents,
"Tiger! Tiger!"

As Qi Ming yelled in a low voice, the pointer began to stop slowly.

Sure enough, the pointer slowly hovered over the [Tiger] grid, and the speed was already very slow.

"It's stable now, haha!"

I don't know if Qi Ming's laughter vibrated the turntable,

The pointer maintained a speed that would not stop, and slid to a grid [lion] under [tiger].

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the "Lion". The animals have been drawn, and the novice gift pack has been distributed to the backpack. Please check it yourself! 】

Hearing this, Qi Ming quickly clicked on the backpack item in the game with his mind,

Clicking on the backpack, he found that there was a pattern of a gift bag on the grid on the top of the backpack, and he clicked on the pattern of the gift bag.

[Item Name: Novice Gift Pack - Lion]

[Introduction to the item: A gift bag for newcomers to integrate into the game faster!The items inside can make your zoo more attractive. 】

[Item effect: Open the gift bag to get an African lion and a [-]-square-meter African lion habitat. 】

[Do you want to open it now! 】

"Ding bell! Ding bell!"

Qi Ming stood up with droopy eyes and turned off the alarm clock, only to find that it was already one fifty.

Sitting up, he stretched back and yawned, went to the bathroom to wash his face,

The [Gift Package for Beginners] that appeared during the lunch break just now, after thinking about it, he decided to open it again at night.

After tidying up a bit, he went downstairs to go to the elephant house to prepare for the daily tasks.

On the way to the elephant house, the layout of the entire Jiajia Zoo went through his mind again.

The zoo used to be about 10 square meters, about the size of ten football fields.

However, under the year-by-year loss, in order to maintain the operation of the zoo.

Many animals were slowly resold to other zoos, and many venues were left vacant.

Now the actual use is only about [-] square meters.

Now there are only three venues left in the zoo: the Elephant Pavilion, the Rare Bird Pavilion and the Animal Pavilion.

There is only one elephant left in the elephant hall, and there are only three kinds in the rare bird hall: ostrich, pheasant, and blue peacock.

There are slightly more types of animal halls, including warthogs, macaques, Siberian wolves, and alpacas.

Because the park is not big, Qi Ming arrived at the elephant house within a few steps.

Elephants are the pillars of the current park, and the overall treatment is still very good.

Not only the food is good, but even the place to live is the best so far.

The Elephant House can be equipped with inclined windows, flip windows and fixed windows according to different needs.

The ceiling of the viewing hall is supported by a steel structure skeleton, and the surface of the shed is made of 8 mm thick double-hole three-layer colorless and transparent sunlight board, which is light, heat-insulating, heat-preserving and has good lighting effects.

When you walk to the elephant house area, you can see the elephant named Doudou from a distance.

Its whole body is dark gray, its wise head is slightly raised, and it has a pair of big ears like cattail fans, which flap from time to time.

It also has two ivory tusks exuding white luster, and in great contrast to its mighty appearance are its pair of fluttering small eyes.

Doudou is a young male Asian elephant. He has been in Jiajia Zoo for seven or eight years. It was introduced at the most glorious time of the zoo.

"Hmph, Bobo!"

Doudou saw Qi Ming from a distance, and snorted obviously, as if greeting him.

Qi Ming used to come to play with it every time he came to the zoo on vacation, so Doudou is quite familiar with him.

"Hello, Doudou!"

After saying hello to Doudou, Qi Ming went into the breeding hall next to the elephant house, and he started to make enrichment toys for Doudou.

Enrichment is actually a zoo term, simply put, it is some actions and behaviors that make animals happy.

It is based on the biological characteristics of the animals and the environmental characteristics of the original habitat.

By taking food and environmental stimuli, animals can show more natural behaviors and restore their original nature.

Walking into the breeding room, Qi Ming found that Doudou's breeder, Lao Wang, had already started preparing food for Doudou.

He didn't disturb Lao Wang's work but went to the tool room aside.

The tree-based tire is a typical elephant enrichment toy, that is, a round hole slightly larger than the tire is dug in the field.

About the depth of five tires, and then pour a circle of cement around the pit to make a bottom.

After the cement dries, the polished tree trunk is fixed with a chain ring, and then the four discarded tires are put down one by one.

Of course, these four tires are put on the tree trunk first, otherwise they will not be able to be put down by then.

After the tire is placed, it is covered with a cement board (the cement board with a hole in the middle is put together).

Finally, just cover it with soil. The purpose of Qi Ming's visit today is to polish the tree trunk.

If the trunk is not sanded, the burrs on it may cause harm to the elephant.

In the afternoon, Qi Ming spent two hours grinding the tree trunk. After polishing the tree trunk, he first asked Old Wang to call Doudou into the infield.

Together with Lao Wang, they moved the tree trunks and tires into the outfield exhibition hall of the elephant house.

There are round pits for tree-based tires in the outfield exhibition hall, which were all reserved measures at the beginning.

Qi Ming walked to the previously marked position and pushed away the cement board covering it.

Looking at the cement board broken in two, Qi Ming knew that his workload would increase again.

He has no choice but to make another cement board. Fortunately, there are ready-made molds in the tool room.
Just get some cement and pour it on later. The weather is good today, and it will be almost dry after an hour or two.

He took a broom from the keeper's hut and swept the cement debris off the perimeter of the round pit.

Pour the cement residue into the trash can inside the breeder's hut, put away the broom and Qi Ming went into the field again.

But in fact, elephants use their trunks to absorb water first and then drink it from their mouths!
