The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 168: Rewarded by Animal Tycoons

This agate is blue, a very rare color, like the blocks of ice in a glacier, with a translucent ice-blue hue.

"For me?"

Xu Ying held the stone, feeling both amused and helpless. The Gobi Jade felt warm to the touch.

He Tian Jade Gobi Material. Although not as valuable as seed or mountain materials, the quality of this piece is really good, even Xu Ying, a layperson, can tell.

As for agate, Xu Ying had no idea what kind it was; her knowledge of gemstones was minimal.

She recalled that Qiao Yuxi was well-versed in gemstones, so she took videos of the two stones and sent them to Qiao Yuxi, asking her to assess their value. If too valuable, she would need to report it to the organization.

Just after Xu Ying finished filming, the two vultures suddenly made a "gurgling" sound, a signal of relaxation for them.

Then, they flew outside and brought two cloth bags from the window with their claws.

Xu Ying widened her eyes, realizing the previous stones were just appetizers.

Two large bags of stones landed with a "thud" on Xu Ying’s desk, and they sounded quite heavy.

The vultures used their claws to push the bags toward Xu Ying, gesturing for her to open them, as if asking her to examine the "goods."

The contents took Xu Ying’s breath away — a bag full of colorful stones shone brilliantly under the sunlight, with deep red garnets like blood, lake-green turquoise, golden translucent topaz, and many stones she couldn’t name. The dazzling array of stones shimmered in the sunlight, stunning Xu Ying with the vultures’ bold generosity.

Xu Ying couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "Where did you find so many beautiful stones? It must have been hard work, right?"

The heavy bags were also the vultures’ heartfelt token of appreciation.

[Not hard to find, not hard to find, we vultures have excellent eyesight. Just one flight in the sky, and we can spot the shiny, beautiful stones.]

[Plus, we had help from our other vulture family members, finding them quickly.]

[Ever since you saved us two months ago, we’ve been thinking about how to repay you and started collecting these pretty stones.] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The fluff on Vulture Brother and Vulture Sister-in-law’s necks fluffed out, resembling two nouveau riche wrapped in mink coats.

Their round eyes fixed intently on Xu Ying.

Xu Ying knew this process couldn’t have been as easy as they said. After all, some of these stones couldn’t just be found with a random flight.

Some require sifting through hundreds or thousands of stones to find, and some need to be excavated from caves. She couldn’t imagine how Vulture Brother and Vulture Sister-in-law managed to get these stones, but the process must have been challenging.

[Little Xu Station Chief, this is the consultation fee for you!]

[After much selection, we only found two pleasing ones. I’ll bring you more when I find new ones!]

[I heard from other birds that these glowing colored stones are very valuable among you humans.]

[Do you like them? If not, I’ll find you new ones.]

The duo of nouveau riche in fur coats began talking like domineering bosses.

"No need, no need, these are already more than enough!"

Xu Ying hurriedly shook her head.

At this moment, her phone rang urgently — surprisingly, it was Qiao Yuxi, busy with a movie project, calling.

Xu Ying quickly answered Miss Qiao’s call.

"Yingying, where did you get this sea blue gemstone! The quality is just superb!"

Qiao Yuxi exclaimed in amazement, "Let me have a closer look!"

Xu Ying pointed her rear camera at the sea blue gemstone.

Qiao Yuxi let out a gasp of admiration, "Oh my, I wasn’t wrong, this is a flawless grade of sea blue gemstone, an excellent Saint Maria color."

"You said this was given to you by a small animal? They really have an eye for quality! This kind of quality can fetch tens of thousands per carat!"

Hearing the price, Xu Ying’s mouth gaped open in astonishment.

"And the other piece of jade?"

Qiao Yuxi, who was truly an expert in this field, said, "The other piece is Gobi Material He Tian Jade. Though not as pricey as seed material, its orange color is the king among Gobi material, and such a large piece would also cost tens of thousands."

Xu Ying smacked her lips, astounded by the vultures’ lavishness, befitting their status as big shots in feather coats.

"You really don’t need to find more stones for me, you’ve already given too much!"

"It’s already enough for lifelong health insurance for your entire family!"

Vulture Brother and Vulture Sister-in-law shook their heads at this.

[No problem, we’ve gradually developed sharp eyes for stones over the past two months.]

[Our Sanbao hasn’t hatched yet. We stay in the desert and sometimes rely on you for carrion.]

[We have time on our hands, so we might as well help you find stones!]

Although they couldn’t understand everything the humans said on the phone, the humans’ tone of amazement made them vaguely realize that the stones they found seemed to be quite valuable!

[The Desert Rescue Station needs funding, doesn’t it? We’ll invest in this project!]

Vulture Brother and Vulture Sister-in-law shook their feathers, mimicking speech from movies Xu Ying had watched, exuding a 24K pure gold nouveau riche vibe.

Having always relied on public funds to save animals in the desert, it was the first time an animal had invested in them, and Xu Ying found it marvelous.

Looking at the two determined vultures, Xu Ying laughed and nodded, "Alright, I will apply to the organization to set up a Vulture Gemstone Fund for you, to label any projects with your name!"

Vulture Brother and Vulture Sister-in-law were particularly happy about this, excited that there could be a foundation named after them! Though they didn’t quite understand what it was, it seemed very impressive!

They were the first animals to donate to the Desert Rescue Zone!

The vulture baby’s condition stabilized, and the next day, Xu Ying received more good news.

The Qiao Family’s donation for the animal hospital project was finally approved!

Early in the morning, Qiao Yuxi called Xu Ying to share the news.

Qiao Yanli had dispatched the construction team so quickly that Xu Ying received the call in the morning, and by noon, a plane carrying construction team members and tools landed at the desert temporary helipad!

Within just five days, the construction site for the animal hospital was enclosed, for further planning.

Next, they would wait for various construction materials to be delivered to the construction site overland, as well as for concrete mixers and cranes to reach the desert, which would take time.

The location of the animal hospital was a distance away from Xu Ying’s rescue station, so the construction wouldn’t disturb them.

During these five days, Xu Ying also had the little animals notify each other to stay away from the construction site for safety.

However, on the sixth day, something happened at the construction site that had been fenced off.

[Little Xu Station Chief! Little Xu Station Chief!]

In the distance came the urgent calls of a Black Jungle Cat.

She turned to see the Black Jungle Cat sprinting towards her, kicking up a trail of dust.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Ying patted the sand off her hands.
