Benben was a typical Asian elephant. Because it was a female elephant, it did not have ivory. Benben was smuggled. Not long after it was born, it was stolen by poachers and sold to the circus. In the end, the circus was destroyed within ten days.
At that time, the old man was still rich, and the zoo was doing well, so he bought Benben. At that time, Benben could not eat on its own and relied on injections to feed it. Later, the old man gave it a milk bottle, but it did not know how to drink it, so it was named Benben.
Benben used to be 2.5 meters tall, but now he was at least 2.8 meters tall. Li Yi realized that his observation skills had improved a lot.
Li Yi brought the elephant to test it out and realized that it had gained 50 kilograms in weight. From the series of commands, Benben had become smarter!
Most importantly, Li Yi had a feeling that he could bring Benben to the Great Tang!
"Do you want to try?"
However, Li Yi was afraid that he would turn into ashes just like the fish last time!
The last time he brought back a fish from the Great Tang, that fish had been turned into ashes by Li Yi's hands. This was terrifying!
Li Yi was thinking if he should give it a try. Or should he condense another Golden Rice grain and find a fish to try?
The elephant and Li Yi had feelings for each other, but buying a grass carp at the market was not something they had any feelings for!
There was no hurry. Li Yi was a reliable person. Besides, he did not plan to return to the Tang Empire so soon. There were a lot of troubles in the Tang Empire now. Although the coup of Xuanwu Gate had come to an end, Li Shiming's control over Chang 'an was not 100%. Li Yi was now a target that Li Shiming had pushed out. It was not safe for him to go back now!
In fact, Li Yi had also thought of looking for the country. After all, the country would definitely be interested in developing a new world. Li Yi also had connections and could even get his third uncle to pull strings. If it worked, his third uncle's official position would be promoted to the rank of major general.
However, Li Yi did not dare to act rashly. In front of the national machine, Li Yi had no capital!
Unless Li Yi could settle down in the Great Tang, or even stay in the Great Tang for the rest of his life and not return to the modern world, it was better not to go through all this trouble. Li Yi would not do something that had no way out.
Then, Li Yi discovered another serious problem for him!
Benben actually stopped providing energy to Li Yi!
This was a headache!
As the elephant did not provide energy, Li Yi's energy source was much less. The smarter and larger the creature, the more energy it could provide. Therefore, it directly reduced the energy source of his strength by a large margin!
However, Li Yi had to be in close contact with animals to obtain energy. Otherwise, he could go to the safari park. There were more animals there. However, as the director of a zoo, Li Yi was still unhappy about spending money to go to other zoos to see other people's animals!
Now, Li Yi was anxiously waiting for Second Uncle's results, so he did not return to the Great Tang. Otherwise, Li Yi would have gone back to the Great Tang to take the test long ago. The Great Tang was full of cattle and horses!
But he was worried!
To be more precise, he was not confident. Anyone who had " waited " before knew that sometimes, one really had to wait for things to end without rest or sleep. Right now, Li Yi's mind was not on the Great Tang, but on money.
If the money didn't fall into his pocket, he really wouldn't be at ease!
To Li Yi, the Great Tang's greatest use at this stage was money. Gold, silver, pearls, and gems were the most important things to Li Yi. Therefore, Li Yi would not return to the Great Tang without money in his pocket. In any case, the rate of time flow was ridiculously high. Since that was the case, he might as well wait!
If Li Yi went back now, he would have to sleep. It should still be night time in the Great Tang!
Benben had become very smart. It could understand what everyone else was saying, let alone Li Yi. What surprised Li Yi the most was that Benben's leg injury had recovered!
For an elephant, its feet were very important. To support such a huge body, the importance of four feet was self-evident. However, because of the cement floor, Benben's toe was injured. Although it was anti-inflammatory every day, it did not get better. Li Yi originally planned to break the cement floor, but the developer bribed the zoo staff to leave. This work was never done.
It couldn't be helped. The workload was huge. Secondly, it had to be completed within a day. Otherwise, Benben wouldn't have a place to have fun. Li Yi had also forgotten about it a few days ago. Otherwise, he could have finished it in two days while Benben was sleeping!
If he couldn't get it done in one go, the remaining cement ground would cause even more damage to Benben's toes. The height of the elephant's leg was very low, and the strength was great. If it directly touched the crack in the cement ground, it would definitely be injured!
"Benben, go play somewhere else. I'll come and see you later!”
After patting Benben's head, Benben used its long nose to persuade Li Yi to stay. However, Li Yi still had something to do, so he left. Benben was a little disappointed, but he quickly started playing by himself. He used his nose to roll up the water in the pool and sprayed it at Monkey Mountain.
The monkeys were in an uproar. All of them hated the heavens and the earth. If they could get out, they would definitely fight with this stupid beast. The monkey king took a look and expressed that it was used to it. Then, it lay under the shade and munched on the roasted sweet potato. This was also the reason why Li Yi was not willing to return to the Great Tang for the time being.
It was winter in modern times!
But it was summer in the Great Tang, and it was about to enter its hottest summer!
People would die without air conditioning…
Winter and summer were the times when there were the least people in the zoo. There was not even a single visitor for the entire day. Li Yi was also happy to relax. After all, there was a Shanghai safari park here. A private zoo would not attract any attention!
However, Li Yi believed that his zoo would be able to develop very quickly.
If the animals with the golden rice grains could really transmigrate with Li Yi, the entire zoo would be rich!
Think about it, what era was the Great Tang in? It was around 600 AD!
At that time, many wild animals had not gone extinct!
Let's not talk about foreign dodos first. Let's talk about domestic ones!
Baiji, small-toothed civet cat, Chinese rhinoceros, Taiwan clouded leopard, Xinjiang tiger, white-headed stork, and so on...
All of these could be obtained in the Great Tang. When the Great Tang became stronger and destroyed the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the grasslands would belong to the Great Tang. At that time, Li Yi would be able to get all the precious animals on the grasslands.
After that, he would develop Lingnan and defeat Goguryeo and Tubo. The animals in the southern subtropics, the northeastern region, and the northwestern plateau would all belong to Li Yi!
Zoos, why worry about not expanding?
The biggest problem was how to make these animals appear secretly.
Li Yi only had one solution now, but this would expose his biggest secret!
