Time flew by, and three days had passed since the mascot voting event concluded.
During these three days, Yang Lin had been preparing for the upcoming sports meet.
To save on rewards as much as possible and prevent them from falling into the hands of outsiders, he decided to send out every animal he could.
"Great Grandpa, remember to aim at the target when you're doing this, don't point it at people."
In the orangutan enclosure, a black chimpanzee named Shidifu, wearing overalls, a thick gold chain around his neck, and sunglasses, was aiming a slingshot he had made himself.
Yang Lin, standing beside him, was terrified. He feared that if he wasn't careful, Shidifu would aim the slingshot at the tourists outside.
However, Shidifu completely ignored his reminder.
"Don't you trust your Grandpa? Let me show you what precision guidance is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shidifu accurately shot a small stone at the bullseye over thirty meters away.
Seeing this, Yang Lin's face immediately showed a hint of satisfaction.
The tourists outside the orangutan enclosure also let out cheers.
"Whoa, look at the zoo director's setup. He's not planning to have Shidifu participate in the shooting competition, is he?"
"It's basically confirmed. I didn't expect Shidifu to be so good at shooting, not just throwing poop accurately."
"Is it possible he's been practicing on us as moving targets all this time?"
While the tourists were still shocked by Shidifu's incredible accuracy, Yang Lin arrived at the monkey enclosure on the other side.
He had originally intended for Li Kong to participate in the high-altitude events, but due to his previous scandal, he turned his attention to Great Grandpa.
As soon as he entered the monkey enclosure, Great Grandpa, dressed in hip-hop attire, appeared before Yang Lin.
"Little Yang, I really like the clothes you picked out for Grandpa, but I can't pull these pants up."
Saying this, Great Grandpa tried to pull up his pants, which had slipped down to his knees.
"Great Grandpa, don't worry about the clothes for now. Did you practice the parallel bars I prepared for you?"
"You mean these things? These are too easy. Watch Grandpa show you how it's done."
As soon as he finished speaking, Great Grandpa, the gibbon, sprang onto the parallel bars.
His arms, which were much longer than his body, immediately performed spectacular moves on the bars.
One moment it was a single-arm giant swing, the next it was a mid-air 1080-degree rotation.
Soon, he had performed all the difficult gymnastics moves that Yang Lin had asked him to watch.
As he landed, he even remembered to give a standard bow.
Yang Lin could only give him a thumbs up.
Although he had already guessed that these moves wouldn't be difficult for Great Grandpa, he never expected him to be so skillful after only watching a few videos.
Of course, this was Yang Lin's thought. The tourists outside the park who witnessed this scene were stunned by Great Grandpa's series of difficult moves.
"Holy crap, this... what's the point of competing?"
"It's over, it's over. Humans are going to be utterly defeated."
"I suspect Great Grandpa could even poop in the air."
"As expected, Grandpa is still Grandpa. Even with all his teeth gone, he's still so amazing."
"Didn't you guys notice that Great Grandpa is using all the moves banned by the Olympic Committee?"
"Why does it feel like Great Grandpa is finding these moves easier than drinking water?"
...
However, just when everyone thought it was over, the subsequent performances of other animals made them feel even more unreal.
A black bear capable of snatching 300 kilograms, a cheetah that could run 100 meters in under 6 seconds.
If such achievements were made by humans, they would be considered god-like.
But for these animals, they seemed so effortless.
While marveling, these tourists also immediately posted videos of these animals training online.
Without any surprise, these videos immediately caused a sensation as soon as they were uploaded.
Especially the contestants who had signed up for these related events were crying out in despair.
"It's over, it's over. I signed up for the 100-meter dash. I'm going to be completely outdone."
"It's okay, I think if you put the leopard behind you, you might not be able to outrun it, but you'll definitely break the world record."
"Hahaha, if that were the case, I estimate your adrenaline would explode."
"Great Grandpa's gymnastics moves are truly amazing. Why did humans lose these abilities during evolution?"
"Ah, it's just a matter of different stat allocation. They put everything into agility, and we put everything into intelligence."
"What's there to worry about? Even Olympic champions would have the same outcome. We won't be ashamed of losing."
"Fortunately, I signed up for other events this time. It should be fine."
"Exactly, I guess only these few animals in the animal kingdom are this amazing. I don't believe Director Yang can send out animals for other events."
"Right, not all animals are good at sports."
...
Before long, these comments from netizens caught Yang Lin's eye.
"What they're saying makes sense. But it doesn't matter, I have my cheat."
A smug smile appeared on his lips. Yang Lin took advantage of the evening when the park was closed and sneaked in.
He wanted to let everyone know that just because other animals can't, it doesn't mean the animals at Xihong Zoo can't.
And as Yang Lin was meticulously preparing, time quickly arrived at the day of the first Ningnan City Special Sports Meet.
On this day, countless tourists and contestants from all over the country arrived in Ningnan by various means of transportation.
According to incomplete official statistics, nearly 200,000 tourists flocked in the day before the competition began.
The traffic in Ningnan City was almost paralyzed.
The major transportation hubs were somewhat overwhelmed.
But even so, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the tourists from other places.
When the sports meet officially commenced, the Ningnan City Central Stadium, the main venue for the event, became incredibly lively.
As colorful fireworks ascended into the sky, the athletes participating in this sports meet began to enter one after another.
The first group to enter were the human athletes, including Olympic champions, provincial team members, and some sports enthusiasts from the general public.
On all these athletes, the image of Shidifu could be seen. Even the plush toys in their hands were of a grinning Shidifu. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Shidifu's elements were everywhere in the stadium.
As these athletes entered, the tens of thousands of spectators on site let out thunderous cheers.
But before they could finish cheering, the next moment, figures of various shapes and forms walked out behind the human athletes.
Immediately, the entire venue erupted in cheers that were several times more enthusiastic than before.
