The first Special Olympics in Ningnan City officially concluded last night after the Planet Cup.
However, the fervor surrounding the entire event only reached its peak on the second day after its conclusion.
This was especially true after the events that transpired at the competition venue were successively reported and disseminated by the media.
Even the spectators who had personally attended the event still felt a sense of lingering excitement after the competition ended.
Ningnan City's authorities were, as expected, the biggest winners of this event, and the name "Animal City" was thus widely recognized.
Of course, if there was one entity that received the most attention post-event, it would undoubtedly be the Xihong Zoo, as all the animals originated from there.
Consequently, when the media announced their intention for post-game interviews, it immediately attracted a large number of netizens.
Especially in the official live stream of the sports channel, the moment the broadcast began, a surge of expectant viewers flooded in.
"Front row, front row! I just said we wouldn't see those animals today, and now they've arranged the post-game interviews right away."
"Hahaha, if you win a championship, you deserve a good interview, don't you?"
"What do you call this? A champion's exclusive interview."
"Humans get exclusive interviews when they win championships, so animals must get them too."
"Let's see who they interview first. Does it even need to be asked? It's naturally Shi Difu, who won the first gold medal for the animals."
Amidst the clamor of the audience, the reporter from the sports channel soon arrived at the orangutan enclosure.
Perhaps it was due to arriving relatively early, but Shi Difu still looked half-asleep.
Upon seeing the group of reporters approaching, he didn't even bother to acknowledge them. It wasn't until one reporter took something out of their pocket that the Great Master, who had initially appeared indifferent, suddenly showed an expression of "you get it," and happily trotted to the edge of the cage.
Before long, the sound of a lighter was heard, and a lit cigarette appeared in the Great Master's hand.
Of course, what was presented to the audience at this moment was not quite like this.
From the audience's perspective, only the area of his body excluding his head was visible, along with the continuously billowing white smoke.
Upon seeing this, the audience was first stunned, and then almost fell over laughing.
"Who on earth taught you to edit it like this? Is the Great Master not even worthy of showing his head?"
"He's probably smoking and didn't want to show his face because it might set a bad example."
"Isn't that obvious? If he wasn't smoking, would he be practicing qigong?"
"Looking at the amount of smoke, he probably only smoked one cigarette this time. It seems the Great Master also knows the importance of an early night for his health."
"The breakfast of a gold medalist is so simple, unpretentious, and mundane. He hasn't become conceited at all just because he won a gold medal."
"Wait a minute, what's that behind the Great Master? It looks like a box of 1916."
"It really is. Has the Great Master's smoking habit reached such a high level?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it normal for a champion to smoke two packs of 1916?"
...
While the sports channel's reporter was live-streaming Shi Difu's post-championship life from the orangutan enclosure, other media reporters also made their way to the areas where the other animals were located.
There were interviews with the Hua Dajie family, the Xiong Ba and Xiong Ma family, and the Leopard Li Bao family.
Even though there was no sound or questions during the interviews, the audience was thoroughly entertained.
Seeing that all the prime spots in front of the animal stars' enclosures were occupied, the reporters from Mango Entertainment, who arrived later, became anxious.
"What do we do? It seems there are no good spots left for us. Shall we squeeze into the tiger enclosure?"
"I don't think so. I feel we must interview a different kind of animal this time to gain some popularity."
"A different kind of animal?"
As the reporters were talking, they noticed a directional sign nearby.
It clearly read "Pig Enclosure."
"Let's go to the Pig Enclosure. After all, that pig scored a goal in the Planet Cup."
"It's undoubtedly the 'Golden Right Foot'."
"Let's go interview the Golden Right Foot!"
As soon as they said that, the group of reporters from Mango Entertainment, carrying their equipment, arrived at the Pig Enclosure.
Once they found a good angle and started their live broadcast, a few scattered viewers gradually joined in.
At this moment, the voice of the host on site also rang out.
"Hello everyone, I believe you all watched the Planet Cup last night."
"A total of three goals were scored last night, and the most special among them was the goal from the wild boar contestant."
"This goal demonstrated the deep friendship between animals and humans. Next, we will conduct an in-depth interview with our 'Golden Right Foot' wild boar contestant."
"So, are you all ready?"
It must be said that the unusual angle chosen by Mango Entertainment instantly attracted a lot of attention from the audience.
After all, other media outlets were either interviewing Hua Dajie or Shi Difu, while Mango Entertainment chose to focus on the wild boar.
"Indeed, I think the piggy's performance last night was exceptional, helping us humans score a goal."
"So, the piggy is our good friend, right?"
"I love pigs very much. Let's just say I can't go a meal without them."
"I also really like pigs and want to raise one at home, but they're too expensive. So this morning, I got up early and went to the market to buy a pig's trotters."
"But don't misunderstand me, I didn't buy these pig's trotters to eat, but to commemorate the wild boar contestant who successfully scored a goal for us humans last night with just one kick."
"To permanently preserve these pig's trotters, symbolizing the friendship between humans and animals, I added thirteen precious medicinal ingredients such as ginger, scallions, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves, and then cooked them over high heat."
...
As the viewers in the live stream engaged in banter, the reporters from Mango Entertainment turned their camera lenses towards the pigsty.
Immediately, the figures of four large wild boars and one large black pig appeared before them.
Everything seemed normal up to this point.
However, as they watched, everyone gradually began to notice something amiss.
Because beside one of the large wild boars closest to the wall, there was a large black and white creature giving that wild boar a back rub.
The movements were so skillful they were indistinguishable from a professional masseur.
While rubbing its back, the black and white creature wore an expression of fawning.
Upon witnessing this scene, both the reporters from Mango Entertainment and the viewers in the live stream were stunned into silence.
It took a good ten seconds before everyone finally reacted.
At the same time, they recognized the identity of the unidentified creature giving the wild boar a back rub.
If they were not mistaken, this was clearly a giant panda.
