I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 575 : The Amazing Effects of a Medicinal Bath
The attendant added, "By the way, sir, would you like to add any ingredients to your hot spring experience? We have options like red wine baths, petal baths, medicinal herbal baths, and more. A red wine bath can make the skin more delicate, very suitable for women, but it's not recommended if you have any open wounds."
The petal bath uses cherry blossom petals that have fallen off, which release a faint fragrance in the hot spring, giving people a good mood while they soak, and the photo effect is also very beautiful."
"The medicinal herbal bath is especially good for people with sub-health issues or a weak constitution! Our Zoo Director Fang highly recommends it!"
Su Hui got somewhat interested and thought to herself, "Red wine bath, petal bath?"
One can beautify the skin while the other offers a perfect photo for showing off on social media—they both sound quite enticing."
"No need, just the plain hot spring is fine."
Yan Ganghui reflexively wanted to decline, but upon hearing the word "health", his interest was suddenly piqued: "How much is this medicinal herbal bath?"
The attendant pointed to the price list behind her, slightly embarrassed about the pricing, and blinked twice, "All services are currently 20% off for our opening period."
The price list read:
Cherry Blossom Bath, 20!
Red Wine Bath, 100!
Medicinal Herbal Bath, 1500!
Su Hui couldn't help but exclaim, "That's so expensive! This..."
Just for adding something to the hot spring, this is ridiculously overpriced! It's even more expensive than the accommodation fee.
But then again, the red wine bath and cherry blossom bath do seem quite affordable.
Yan Ganghui initially frowned at the cost, but recalling what Zhou Ke had mentioned, he speculated, "Maybe the medicinal bath uses rare ingredients like ginseng, which is why it's so expensive? If Zoo Director Fang recommends it, it should be reliable, right?"
He was not wrong!
In the medicinal herbal bath, the actual herbs were secondary; the main ingredient was a bit of "spiritual water".
Although it was heavily diluted, soaking in it would still be very beneficial to one's health and definitely worth the price.
To the attendant, he said, "Alright, then give us a medicinal herbal bath! Consider it support for your zoo."

"Thank you for your support!" The attendant took out a delicate little glass jar from a cabinet behind her, "Just pour this into the hot spring! You don't have to use it all at night; you can continue to use it again during the day."
Yan Ganghui scanned the QR code to pay, a thousand bucks gone just like that, which was still a bit painful.
He and Su Hui entered their room.
The room's decor was also simple and natural, clean and unadorned.
The warm yellow walls and lighting gave off a cozy and comfortable vibe.
The room lacked flamboyant decorations, with a small five-needle pine bonsai placed on the table. Its branches were gnarled and full of strength, curving as they grew, and the carefully pruned deep-green pine needles fanned outwards, adding a fresh and elegant touch to the room, reminiscent of poetry and painting.
Beside the table, several woven straw mats exuded a humble Zen charm.
Su Hui couldn't resist bending down to touch the pine needles.
She had never seen such a small pine tree bonsai before; it was quite pretty, but was it real or just a fake plastic decoration?
After feeling the pine needles, which were slightly cool to the touch and had a soft plant texture, she confirmed it was the real deal.
She couldn't help but say to Yan Ganghui, "It's quite exquisite!"
Though the decor was simple, it was clearly well-curated.
The slight unease she felt earlier about the prices had now largely dissipated.
Yan Ganghui nodded in praise, "Indeed, it's nice!"
He pushed open the wooden door and entered the courtyard!
The warm light shone on clusters of quiet, verdant bamboo and green trees. The rustic charm of the bamboo walls separated the courtyard from the outside world, making the environment even more tranquil, with only the "chirping and chirping" of cicadas coming from the distance.
The bath was constructed from deep black marble, already filled with water. The water rippled, and the white steam rose slightly, reflecting the quiet bamboo forest in the background, creating an illusion of a heavenly paradise.
Su Hui immediately cheered with joy, "Wow! The environment here is fantastic!"
Just looking at it was a treat, relaxing both body and mind.
Su Hui couldn't wait to take off her clothes, jump into the hot spring, and splash the water around with laughter.
She said to Yan Ganghui, "It feels so comfortable to soak in here! You should come down and soak too!"
Yan Ganghui didn't rush in but first tested the water temperature and opened a small bottle, pouring half of the bath medicine into the water.
Then he sat in the pool, enjoying the moment with half-closed eyes!
The long-term programmer lifestyle of 996, with a lack of exercise and training, let him feel his body was indeed getting worse day by day.
Not only was he becoming balder but, returning home late at night, so exhausted that he barely had the energy to play games, and after a brief moment with his girlfriend, he would fall asleep without the interest or energy for intimate activities. Even after sleeping, he wouldn't feel refreshed but still tired.
While coding or eating hot pot, his head and arms would sometimes inexplicably go numb. Although it wasn't a major issue for now, the persistent numbness was quite frightening, as if it were a warning from his body.
On weekends, he would occasionally get a massage from a therapist.
In recent days, to take a leave, he was assigned a bunch of tasks by his supervisor, and he was so tired on the car ride that he didn't have the energy to talk. According to Su Hui, it was like he was about to drop dead.
It was uncertain whether it was the pleasant environment or the effects of the medicinal bath, but it indeed brought him a heartfelt relaxation.
Surrounded by the slightly hot springs, he felt like a baby returned to the mother's womb, and the sense of fatigue slipped away with perspiration through his pores; his body unloaded its burdens, and his dull senses also recovered somewhat.
It was ten times more comfortable than the massages from the therapists!
He noticed the beautiful bamboo, the cicadas' singing from afar, and his girlfriend's happy smile.
He sighed contentedly, "This is what a real vacation is like! It's worth it, absolutely worth it!"
Fang Ye, after his initial experience at the hot spring resort, felt that soaking alone was a bit monotonous and considered adding water games for the guests to enjoy.
Apart from water games, since the hot springs were located in the zoo, he could add an animal element, so he bought a batch of animal-shaped inflatables online, like flamingos and ponies, and placed them by the pool.
At that moment, Su Hui was pushing a flamingo inflatable around in the water.
Upon hearing Yan Ganghui's sigh, she came over and asked with concern, "How do you feel, a bit more comfortable?"
"Too comfortable, I feel light all over! I feel like I've gotten ten years younger; my youth has returned!"
Yan Ganghui watched his girlfriend and suddenly chuckled mischievously, reaching out to hold her.
Su Hui threw a seductive glance and giggled, "Come catch me if you can!"
The couple engaged in a water fight, then another lively water fight!
...
The next morning, feeling the faint light on his face, Yan Ganghui woke up from the tatami!
He checked his phone, utterly surprised.
He had woken up at 7 a.m.!
On a regular weekend, without anything special planned, he wouldn't wake up before eleven.
Yet today, he woke up so early and didn't feel tired at all but full of energy.
