I have a wildlife zoo

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he spotted something resembling an arcade machine!

A few young people were gathered in front of the arcade machine, one playing, and a few others watching.

"Damn, there\'s actually an arcade machine in this zoo!?"

Yuan Yu was itching to go over and take a look, but his girlfriend was still waiting in line for him to take her picture. Abandoning his girlfriend to play an arcade machine at this time... let\'s just say the repercussions...

He was still very clear about what was more important between his girlfriend and a game.

After waiting patiently for over ten minutes, Wang Jinxuan finally straddled the tiger. One hand touched the tiger\'s head while the other made a victory sign with a beaming smile, "Yay!"

"Great! Very cute, very pretty!"

"How is it, how is it? Let me see?"

Wang Jinxuan hopped off the tiger and ran excitedly over. Yuan Yu showed her the photos he had taken.

The girl was youthful and beautiful, so naturally, the pictures wouldn\'t be bad. Of course, there were boyfriends out there capable of capturing their 90-point beauty girlfriends in 10-point moments.

Wang Jinxuan said with satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad! Let\'s go see the tigers then!"

Yuan Yu pointed to the arcade-like object, "Wait a minute, I want to check that out. It might require waiting for a bit, so why don\'t you go see the tigers first and come find me later?"

He had seen that it took about ten minutes for each person to leave the machine and for the next one to take a turn.

Since it wasn\'t the weekend today, the Tiger Paw arcade machine was set to normal gameplay difficulty, and one could enjoy a full game round. A quick game might end in five minutes, but a longer session could last up to ten minutes.

There were roughly seven or eight young people in front of the Tiger Paw arcade machine. However, some were only there to watch others play and left after a while. So, the waiting time might be a bit shorter.

"Hmm, there\'s an arcade machine in the zoo?"

Wang Jinxuan was also curious, despite her lack of interest in arcade games, "Then you queue up! I\'ll go see the tigers first and come back later to see how you\'re doing."

"Alright!"

Yuan Yu came beside the arcade machine and joined the spectators to watch for a bit.

On the screen was a broad highway with vehicles speeding by now and then. A tiger was hidden among the trees by the side of the road, seemingly hesitating about whether to cross.

Below the screen, two options were available: "cross" or "continue waiting!" There was also an hourglass with its sand trickling down, pressuring a decision. Only ten seconds remained for the choice.

The young man in the black shirt playing the game had a deep frown shaped like the character "川", biting his lower lip, his expression showing his dilemma.

Several spectators beside him looked either serious or shook their heads with sighs.

"Damn, this road is so annoying!"

"Yeah, whether to cross it or not."

"If it doesn\'t cross, it\'ll starve without finding prey! Just go, just go, take a chance!"

With only a few seconds left, the young man in the black shirt took a deep breath and forcefully pressed the button on the right! Then he closed his eyes, not daring to look.

Watching from the side, Yuan Yu could feel his nervousness, and he couldn\'t help but be swept up in the tension too, while the spectators also held their breath.

On the screen, the tiger took advantage of the gap between passing vehicles and dashed across, safely reaching the other side!

The crowd cheered softly, all with faces full of joy!

"That\'s great, it made it over!"

"Big bro, all\'s good! It didn\'t get hit by the car; it can keep going!"

"Let\'s go, let\'s go, with this tough part behind us we can live a while longer!"

Yuan Yu let out a sigh of relief, and his mood relaxed somewhat.

After watching for a short while, he pretty much understood, the game was similar to Monopoly. You had to play as a tiger striving to survive, deciding how many steps to take by rolling dice, and then encountering various random events.

He muttered to himself, "I was wondering why there would be an arcade machine suddenly placed in a zoo. So it\'s a game related to tigers, educational and fun at the same time."

With anticipation in his heart, he lined up behind others.

About 20 minutes later, it was his turn. The players before him didn\'t last long, apparently because they stepped on an animal trap. They managed to break free, but with a broken foot and having lost a lot of blood, they were lucky not to die. However, their ability to hunt was greatly affected, and they didn\'t last long before starving to death.

Handing over the spot in frustration, Yuan Yu looked on with some sympathy as the previous player got up and left. Then, licking his lips and rubbing his hands together, he was finally able to get his hands on it!

He hadn\'t paid attention when the others played, but now, taking a closer look, he found the machine quite interesting. The buttons were shaped like a tiger\'s paw. The black pads weren\'t just visually similar; they felt soft with a bit of firmness to the touch, and there were black furs around the pads, feeling just like a real tiger paw.

He sat down and pressed the tiger paw with no response, then asked with some confusion, "How do you start it?"

The person next to him directed, "Do you see that coin slot? Just insert the zoo\'s admission ticket and you can start."

Yuan Yu took a look, and sure enough!

Not only did it look like an arcade machine, but the coin-operated function was identical too.

Scratching his head, he remarked with interest, "Hey, this machine is pretty fun. How does it recognize the ticket, huh?"

"Who knows, maybe there\'s some special material inside the ticket?"

On the screen, the tiger\'s amber eyes gazed deeply at him, as if it had something to say. Yuan Yu, touching the paw, locked eyes with the tiger for a few seconds, feeling an odd yet wonderful sensation in his heart.

He pressed down on the paw, and the new game promptly began.

The initial environment he was born into was by a lake, its water as clear as a mirror, with lush green trees—a beautiful place with an excellent environment. He could even hear various birds chirping away.

Did it bear some resemblance to the tiger exhibit\'s outdoor area?

But here, the trees were denser, and the lake was much larger than a mere pond.

The tiger was by the lake, lowering its head and drinking water in small sips.

There was no need for any operation guide, nor was one necessary!

The tiger would act according to its current state. If it was hungry, it needed to hunt; if it was thirsty, it needed to drink water. If it was neither hungry nor thirsty, it was free to play, to rest, to gaze at the scenery, and to mark its territory. The dice only determined where the tiger would go and whether it might encounter prey or a water source.

"Hey, buddy, good luck!" someone encouraged from the side, "I died in the second round last time I played. See if you can survive till the end."

Someone shook their head, "It\'s tough! Once the environment deteriorates to a certain extent, it becomes extremely difficult. The only good ending must be producing offspring, I guess." Read new chapters at m_v-l\'e|-NovelBin.net

Yuan Yu said nervously yet excitedly, "I\'ll give it my all!"

He pressed down on the paw, and immediately, a circle with different patterns appeared on the screen, with a dice rolling rapidly in the center.
