Chapter 635 - 587: The Panda-Powered Buff (Part 2)

The ten people at the front quickly responded with smiles, "Exactly, exactly, Boss Wang is here to have fun, everyone should disperse."

"Yes, everyone disperse, Boss Wang will visit other places tomorrow, we will meet again if fate allows."

Despite many being reluctant, the fact was that Wang Fan ran out of ingredients, so everyone reluctantly left, and Wang Fan, after selling the last of his stock, started packing up to go see the pandas with Zhuo Qianqian.

It was already four o’clock in the afternoon, and if it got any later, the park would have been closed.

There were many collectible hairpins and such in the park; Wang Fan bought a panda hat, Zhuo Qianqian bought panda ear hairpins, and they also purchased a flower plushie the size of a basketball, finally satisfied to go see the pandas.

Although they mainly came to see the pandas, the scenery here was really beautiful, nestled amidst mountains and forest, evergreens throughout the year, and the air was fresh.

A large number of bamboo varieties were planted here, including nan bamboo, bitter bamboo, red-breasted chicken bamboo, and Rongcheng bamboo, which emit a refreshing bamboo fragrance as they grow, filling the entire base with the aroma of bamboo, making it feel like walking in a natural oxygen bar and easing the mind.

Pandas were quite active in the morning, and in the afternoon, most were sleeping, so there were fewer tourists in the afternoon than in the morning, but the influence of the Golden Week holiday was too great; right now, the park was still crowded, and nearly everyone had some panda-themed merchandise, including foreigners with blonde hair and black skin.

Wang Fan marveled, "I feel like pandas must be the most beloved animal worldwide, second only to eagle coins."

Zhuo Qianqian replied, "There’s no helping it, these black and white round creatures are just a bug."

"Oh? How so?"

Zhuo Qianqian counted on her fingers, explaining, "Look, white people see them as white, black people see them as black, Chinese see them as cats, Russians see them as bears, vegetarians see them eating leaves, conservationists see them as rare, special groups see them as gender-ambiguous, chubby people see them as plump, workers see them with dark circles, those who take it easy see them lying around, and strong people see them as unambitious—this perfectly satisfies all kinds of people. Is there any other animal in the world with so many buffs?"

Wang Fan was amazed, "Wow, the way you put it, it seems abnormal not to like them."

Zhuo Qianqian shrugged, "Indeed, very few people in the world dislike them, but there are some zoos that treat them perfunctorily, like the one in Imperial City now, where they had poor treatment abroad."

The two chatted leisurely while queuing up to see Huahua; the queue moved fairly quickly, with 3 minutes per batch of people.

However, as they just entered the venue, a sudden incident occurred.

"Buzz buzz..."

"Whimper whimper..."

"Whimper whimper whimper..."

Panda-loving whimperers are disliked by most people, unless the whimperer is a panda.

But right now, the sister pandas in Villa No. 6 seemed startled, fleeing in all directions.

Strange buzzing was coming from above the villa in the sky.

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian looked up and saw a drone hovering there, the noise obviously coming from the drone.

"Whose drone is this so lacking in decency?"

"Exactly, don’t they know pandas are scared of this noise?"

"Security, security come quickly, someone’s flying a drone and scaring the pandas."

"Security, security!"

Zhuo Qianqian, seeing the drone, also panicked and called for security along with others. Though she owned a drone herself and used it often, it was always within legal limits. Some places clearly prohibit drone use, especially zoos.

Wang Fan scanned the crowd with a furrowed brow, wanting to see who was so indecent, but despite being a head taller than most, he still couldn’t spot who was controlling the drone. There were just too many people, he only saw the backs of heads.

"Huahua, Heya, Guolai."

An uncle in a staff uniform ran over, shouting the names of the two cubs worriedly as he rushed.

"Grandpa Tan, Grandpa Tan is here, someone’s flying a drone and scaring the pandas, quickly bring it down."

With this staff member’s arrival, the anxious tourists turned to him as the backbone, unanimously complaining about the drone.

But even with so much dissatisfaction and the pandas being frightened, the drone showed no sign of restraint, even wobbling left and right as if continuing to follow the cubs for filming.

The personnel called Grandpa Tan was visibly anxious, "Huahua, Heya, Guolai."

However, the usually obedient little pandas didn’t respond this time, and the round-as-a-ball Huahua was so scared she started climbing a tree.

This alarmed the tourists and Grandpa Tan even more, all angrily scanning the site, trying to spot the drone operator.

At this time, the security finally arrived, holding a drone countermeasure gun.

Visitors cheered upon seeing them, hurriedly saying, "Bring it down, take down that darn drone."

However, even though the two security guards held the countermeasure gun and aimed for a long time, neither dared to pull the trigger!

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?!"

"Do something, why the delay?"

"For crying out loud, just shoot it already!"

Sweat was beading on the foreheads of the two security guards. They knew they should take down the drone, yet hesitated to act.

The drone was expensive!

This was personal property, costing anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands. If it crashed and broke, compensation would mean months of wages gone.

Grandpa Tan, at this moment, was also anxious, quickly telling the security, "Shoot it down, what are you waiting for?"

"But..."

"I’ll take responsibility for complaints!"

"Let me do it."

Just as the two were hesitating, Wang Fan had already grabbed the countermeasure gun.

Then raised it to aim at the drone, and once the lock reminder appeared, he decisively pressed the trigger!

"If compensation is needed, come to me."

The drone countermeasure gun doesn’t shoot bullets or nets; it emits interference signals, disrupting the drone’s communication and navigation system, triggering its fail-safe and causing it to land automatically.

After Wang Fan pressed the trigger, the drone wobbled a bit in the sky and quickly flew in one direction.

"Oh, it’s coming down!"

"They brought it down!"

Zhuo Qianqian excitedly said, "The drone’s safety mechanism is to return home, follow it, and you’ll find who launched it, report them!"

"Well done!"

"Isn’t that Boss Wang? Great job, Boss Wang!"

"Everyone watch to see who was so indecent, don’t let them escape!"

"Blacklist them, they shouldn’t be allowed back in the zoo."

The drone descended, and the tourists erupted in cheers.

Many followed the drone’s return path, determined to find the perpetrator.

By then, the police had arrived; during the Golden Week, the police were on standby 24/7, their response time was fast indeed.

Soon, everyone cooperatively located the drone operator.

It was a young guy, eighteen or nineteen years old, holding the remote in one hand and the drone in the other, looking at the crowd around him with a panicked face, fearing he’d be beaten the next moment.

Fortunately, though the crowd was furious, they remained restrained; aside from harsh words, no one laid hands on him.

The police, without saying much, took the young man by the shoulders and escorted him out of the park.

The staff then began to disperse the crowd; Huahua and Sister Heya were frightened and now needed to be closed off for comforting and examination.

"Thank you."

Grandpa Tan thanked Wang Fan, then quickly walked into the panda villa, calling Huahua down from the tree.

Wang Fan also followed the crowd out of Villa No. 6, the drone returned without crashing, so there was no need for him to compensate.

"Boss, you were so cool just now!"
