Super Zoo

```

Children have their own jianghu, and adults have their own jianghu; regardless of which jianghu you're mixed up in, there's a theme that never changes: "fighting monsters to level-up."

Fighting monsters is an important skill.

Similarly, as a boss-level monster in the jianghu, knowing how to be a good monster is also an art.

For instance, Nangong Yan's dad would send out subordinates who were just a tad stronger than the previous ones, which could be seen as the type of "friendly boss" that's there to train the protagonist, giving them experience to level up.

Nangong Yan hadn't decided whether or not to resign to help Suming, but invitations from another two elders of the Nangong Family had already arrived.

Her third uncle and fourth uncle showed up together to invite Suming for a meal.

The third uncle, Nangong Cheng, deputy director of the Yangchuan City Public Security Bureau's South Mountain Sub-bureau;

The fourth uncle, Nangong Jian, deputy commander of the city's armed police force;

Suming used to get these two mixed up until the car-smashing incident made things clear.

The big uncle traffic cop, her dad a detective, the third uncle a civil policeman, the fourth uncle armed police... aside from her dad, only the legendary national security fifth uncle remained unseen.

Third Uncle Nangong Cheng, a middle-aged man who had put on some weight, men tend to show thinning on top as they put on weight. Third uncle didn't look anything like a deputy director at all. He looked more like a wealthy man who had made it, but the occasional flash of fierceness in his eyes and brows still revealed the aura of someone who was part of an intimidating machine.

If Nangong Cheng, the third uncle, occasionally revealed a fierce demeanor, then the fourth uncle, Nangong Jian, the armed police force commander, exuded an overwhelming presence throughout the meal.

"Suming, the way you smashed that car was fantastic! A contractor dares to hit our family's girl; he must be tired of living. Smashing his car was letting him off easy. If you run into him again, beat him to a pulp!" With no outsiders in the private room, Nangong Jian's face was flushed with drink.

"Old Four, you've had too much to drink. How can you speak to the child like this!" Nangong Cheng glared at his brother and then said to Suming with a smile, "Su, my brothers and I, your fourth uncle has been hot-tempered since he was young. Once he drinks too much, he can't hold his tongue. Don't take his nonsense seriously. The way you handled things that day was very good. Smashing the car was just an economic dispute; it would've been troublesome if you actually hurt the person."

Before coming, Nangong Yan had reminded Suming that this fourth uncle was usually very nice and took great care of the kids in the family, but had one really annoying bad habit: getting violent when drunk.

Luckily, he could hold his liquor well, not considering himself drunk unless he'd had less than two jin.

The third uncle also had a high tolerance, and working in the public security forces for years meant there were none who couldn't drink.

Therefore, before coming, Suming had prepared himself by storing up an 'unintoxicated' energy ball he obtained from the tree shrews' tails.

The dozen or so tree shrews in the zoo were brought back from Iraq. These creatures, looking like oversized rats, had a bare tail but topped with a tuft of hair that resembled a brush, thus earning their name.

The tree shrews' greatest pastime was drinking. They would extract liquid from a special type of palm tree with an alcohol content similar to beer and drank from morning to night, starting the moment they awoke until they slept. Studies have shown that the amount of 'alcohol' a tree shrew drinks a day could intoxicate an adult human.

In nature, many animals enjoy alcohol, eating fermented fruits, such as macaques and elephants; the zoo's alpacas are no exception, but without fail, their alcohol tolerance is low and they stagger around after just a little. The tree shrews, however, no matter how much they drank, could keep their heads clear and perform various exaggerated balancing acts in the trees.

The human body has certain enzymes that can metabolize alcohol. Tree shrews also have an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol at a rate dozens of times faster than humans.

Looking at the row of empty bottles on the table, Suming knew his fourth uncle had reached the standard for his drunken rages.

"So what if he was injured!" Nangong Jian slammed the table and glared, "If it were me, I'd have killed him outright!"

"Do you think you're still a scout, where you can just kill someone at the drop of a hat... Suming is just like that, don't make fun of him,"

Nangong Cheng handed over a cigarette, and Suming quickly stood up to light it for him, then lit one for himself. Nangong Cheng exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at Nangong Yan, who had been sitting very 'demurely' on the side, and said, "But then again, thinking about it, the Nangong miss has never been bullied from a young age. In our family, everyone is in the police force. If she suffers a loss in this matter, and she agrees to it, us elders won't agree to it. I understand my second brother's temperament. The day you smashed his car if he saw you, he'd definitely have a few words to say about it, but actually, he'd be pleased inside..."

"Uncle, what are you talking about..." Nangong Yan said coyly.

"Hey, men are talking; what do you, a little girl, understand? Suming, let me tell you, when you're out in society, sometimes you need to keep a low profile, and other times you need to be tough to command respect. Endure when you must, don't be short of patience; be ruthless when necessary, never be soft-hearted," Nangong Cheng said, while taking out a card from his pocket and handing it to Suming.

Suming was taken aback. What's this situation? Is Uncle giving me a gift?

"It was sent by the boss of Baoye Company, not a penny more or less, 240,000. Just the amount you overcompensated that day. Do you understand the meaning behind this?" Nangong Cheng asked with a smile.

Seeing the gleam in Nangong Cheng's eyes, with not a hint of drunkenness, Suming suddenly understood.

Dammit, this drinking session also had a test waiting for him.

"Well, it's really not easy to enter your family's door. Being talented both in literature and martial arts is just the beginning," Suming said to Nangong Yan, half-jokingly.

Nangong Yan's cheeks turned slightly red. She certainly didn't want her family elders to make things difficult for Suming. But Nangong Cheng said, "Of course, our girl can't just marry anyone casually."

Suming grumbled to himself, but he understood.

The Nangong Family in Yangchuan City was considered a minor stronghold in the police world, a small prominent family. At her family's level, marrying off a daughter was about more than just love; it involved the future son-in-law's capabilities in all respects.

Money wasn't the most important thing. Marrying a mediocre son-in-law might be acceptable, but if she ended up with a troublemaker with no capabilities, it could potentially bring major trouble to the entire clan and ruin the whole family.

He picked up the card and smiled, "It seems Baoye Group isn't keen on offending a few uncles either. However, it's not out of goodwill."

"Why isn't it out of goodwill?" Nangong Cheng smiled.

"It's simple, repairing that Volvo cost a total of 300,000, and the Beetle took 60,000. Baoye Company only paid the difference. Do they lack this 60,000? No, clearly, they are still holding a grudge, or perhaps they never intended to make amends with me," Suming said.

"Good, it's rare for someone your age to see this. Well done," Nangong Cheng nodded, "But don't worry, even if Baoye Company is dissatisfied, they won't make a big fuss out of it. If they made a scene over such a trivial matter, the whole Yangchuan City would say they're being petty."

"Third Uncle, you've given your approval. It's my turn, isn't it!" Nangong Jian suddenly asked with red eyes.

F*ck, is there no end to this?

The trial of Nangong Jian was straightforward; come up with a way for him to fulfill the police-civilian co-construction task.

"Fourth Uncle, how about letting your troops act as extras to promote tourism for Yangchuan City, would that count as police-civilian co-construction?" Suming ventured to ask.
