Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 792 - 505 I’m Different, It’s True Love!_1

Feng Yi finished a brief interview and stood up to leave the viewing platform.

On the way out, excited discussions could be heard everywhere. There was no doubt that this time, the near-shore test had been a success, which boosted the confidence of the original supporters even more.

"We’ve obtained a lot of very valuable data this time!"

"I’ve always said we should take this step—look how quickly we’ve made progress!"

"The project’s online public support rate is soaring—everyone is optimistic!"

"Places on the other side of the ocean will probably conduct their own near-shore tests soon, given the active sea storms this season."

"Are you going to watch it?"

"I can’t snag a spot. To go watch the near-shore trials in other parts of the world, I’d have to wait a few years, wait for the excitement to die down, before I can grab a spot to watch."

"That’s true..."

Moving on, Feng Yi looked down at the streets of Guansi Town from above.

With the alarm lifted and the streets unblocked, many people came out from their houses.

Some people in their forties and fifties, holding wine, were laughing and clinking glasses with both friends and strangers. The more skilled ones had already started dancing, singing and jumping around without caring if they were in tune or not.

Feng Yi smiled and moved on.

If things continued to go smoothly, it was certainly good news.

The live broadcast of the "Survivor" program was still ongoing, with guests still riding high on emotion and not yet calmed down.

Anyone seeing such a spectacle for the first time would find it hard to regain their composure quickly.

No matter how many lines one had memorized or how much preparation had been done, the actual moment of witnessing it, with the visual and psychological impact, was hard to control with reason.

Take Feng Chi, for instance—he hadn’t anticipated that he would howl during the live broadcast.

Yet, during the live show, he howled more excitedly than anyone. He might not have been the loudest in the room, but he was certainly the most emotionally volatile.

When the broadcast finally ended, Feng Chi looked around and didn’t see Feng Yi anywhere. After sending a message to inquire, he learned that Feng Yi had already left Guansi Town.

As Guansi Town gradually lifted its ground and air controls, more and more outsiders came to visit. Even though the spectacle was over, their eagerness was unabated.

Some people were even considering that the typhoon season wasn’t over yet and a storm might come at any time, possibly at this very observation station, so they went ahead and booked accommodations for two to three months.

Meanwhile, hotels and B&Bs in the cities with other observation stations along the coastline saw a surge in crazy bookings.

For some people, money was not the issue—the important thing was whether they could witness the spectacle with their own eyes this typhoon season!

And for those without ample funds, this summer vacation became the prime time for parents to take their children on trips, with towns that had observation stations as their top choice. Even if they couldn’t witness the spectacle, they could still see the observation station and participate in the scientific and interactive outreach available to tourists.

The legendary grand project did indeed exist and had already produced tangible results, meaning that people’s lifestyle patterns were also set to change.

Not to mention high-level strategies, just considering aspects related to the public, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, there were bound to be new opportunities. The scramble for new interests had already begun, and those who were quick had already tasted the spoils.

Attitudes are one thing, making money is another. Of course, there are also those whose attitudes follow where the profit leads.

However, none of these concerned Feng Yi anymore. After returning to Yang City from Guansi Town, he didn’t rush to other matters but first went to the zoo.

He went to resolve the matter of "Little Koi."

This time, leveraging the nationwide attention caused by the Butterfly Project and the heated discussions following the exposure of Feng Yi’s identity, the zoo had staged a splashy promotion.

Indeed, many people unable to see the spectacle, both locals and tourists visiting Yang City, flocked to the zoo to see Feng Yi’s "own princess." A crowd gathered around "Little Koi," pointing and commenting.

But that wasn’t the point. The zoo usually had many visitors, and "Little Koi," having been associated with Feng Yi since birth, was one of the zoo’s star animals. Most visitors to the zoo would make a special trip to the reptile house to have a look.

A net-patterned python with koi-like colors coupled with Feng Yi’s celebrity effect was indeed attractive.

Only this time, let’s not discuss the sensational promotion—Feng Yi wasn’t that concerned with the online topics. What bothered him was that an employee had violated regulations, allowing visitors to approach too closely and annoy "Little Koi" frequently, causing it to become agitated, regurgitating food and refusing to eat.

Feng Yi put pressure on the zoo through the Union for Conservation, and also processed another document at the same time.

Of course, it wasn’t a pet-keeping license; now, it was not permitted to keep that type of python in private residential areas.

"Little Koi" itself had some research value, and Feng Yi had secured some privileges for it from the Union for Conservation.

The document he processed this time was for temporary custody, similar in nature to how Steve had temporarily accommodated a few large pythons at his place before.

They were both certified experts of the Union for Conservation, which made it easier for them to obtain such documents.

He planned to take "Little Koi" away from the zoo for more than a week before deciding when to bring it back based on the zoo’s improvements.

As for where to place "Little Koi" after taking it out of the zoo, Feng Yi had given it careful thought.

If he wanted to, he could indeed arrange for it at home, but in an unfamiliar environment, "Little Koi" would be more anxious, and if it experienced any minor issues, Feng Yi might not be able to resolve them.

He was skilled at catching snakes, not at keeping them.

After some thought, Feng Yi found the perfect place—Steve’s privately founded reptile conservation organization.
