Upon hearing this, the zookeeper's eyes widened, his expression indescribably odd.
It was a mixture of dawning realization, amusement, and a strange hint of sympathy for the alpaca, "Big Soldier," and the "heavy responsibility" it was about to face.
Yang Qi clapped him on the shoulder, wearing a knowing, "you-get-it" expression. "It's exactly what you think. So, his nutrition needs to be top-notch. This is a 'major affair' concerning the future prosperity of our park's alpaca population."
The zookeeper opened his mouth, wanting to make a sarcastic remark about the bizarre "mission" and method of mediation. But the words caught in his throat; nothing seemed appropriate to say. He could only nod.
"...Understood. I guarantee I'll have 'Big Soldier' well-cared for and brimming with energy."
"I appreciate it."
Yang Qi patted his shoulder again before turning and leaving the alpaca enclosure.
He didn't go anywhere else, heading straight back to the employee living quarters.
