"I'm telling you, it was only after my son begged me for a long time that I agreed to buy him tickets to Jurassic Park this time."
"What a coincidence, me too. My son passed all his subjects in this exam, so I specifically rewarded him with two tickets to Jurassic Park."
"My son too, he insisted on seeing some dinosaurs. What's so interesting about just a few dinosaurs? He's only 4 months old, how can he like dinosaurs so much?"
At the Jurassic Park ferry boarding point in Beibu Bay, over a dozen dads, each with their families, were chatting together.
Their children stood by with bewildered expressions, though a few were still lying in strollers.
"Dad, I don't like dinosaurs, I want to go to Dolphin Island to see dolphins," a little girl said unhappily amidst the crowd.
Upon hearing her words, a middle-aged man's expression instantly changed.
"What are you talking about, child? Dolphins aren't as interesting as dinosaurs. Be good, we'll go see dinosaurs."
"No, I want to see dolphins."
"Please, Dad is begging you. We'll see dinosaurs this time, and dolphins next time."
.....
"Director Yang, your Xihong Zoo is really appealing to everyone now, from young to old. You're even making money from men, who have the weakest purchasing power."
In a corner of the pier, Teacher Xiao Liang, dressed in casual wear, teased Yang Lin with a half-smile.
"Heh, this is normal. How many boys don't like dinosaurs? No matter how old a man gets, he's still a boy, right?"
"If there were wild Ultraman, they'd be even crazier than they are now."
"Oh? Your zoo has even cultivated wild Ultraman?"
"No, not yet, and no plans for it at the moment."
"Alright, enough talk, the ship is about to depart."
.....
As a foghorn sounded, several giant cruise ships filled with tourists heading to Jurassic Park slowly set sail.
At the same time, dozens of helicopters from media outlets of various countries around the world also took to the sky.
On this important day of Jurassic Park's official opening, the eyes of the entire Dragon Country, and indeed the world, were focused here.
Everyone wanted to know what kind of shock this dinosaur-themed park would bring them.
After this enormous convoy traveled for a full six hours, an island that looked very primitive from the outside appeared before many tourists and Yang Lin.
Before they could even get close, a massive figure leaped out of the water.
It was neither a dolphin nor a whale, but a genuine *Hoffmann's Mosasaurus*.
That's right, before they had even officially landed, Jurassic Park gave them a huge surprise.
Seeing this mosasaur, both the tourists on the ship and the media in the helicopters went into a frenzy.
"Did I see that correctly? Was that a mosasaur just now?"
"It was indeed a mosasaur. They actually managed to perfectly replicate dinosaurs."
"They're keeping it in the sea? Aren't you afraid it'll escape?"
"You seem to have forgotten who owns this park."
"That's right, it's under Xihong Zoo, so there's no problem."
Just as everyone was excited about the appearance of the mosasaur, another group of figures appeared in the sky above the island ahead.
The dinosaur enthusiasts on the ship immediately recognized these figures.
"It's pterosaurs! The one on the left is a Pterodactylus, the group on the right is Quetzalcoatlus, and the ones next to them are Hatzegopteryx!"
"Brother, you're amazing. You can tell them apart from this far away."
"Aren't pterosaurs all the same?"
"You know nothing. There are over a hundred branches of pterosaurs."
"It's not that big, though. Not even as big as the golden eagle at Xihong Zoo."
"That's true, but they're prehistoric dinosaurs. You can't just judge them by size."
"We haven't even landed yet and we've already seen two types. I wonder what other surprises await us on the island."
.....
If the appearance of the mosasaur and pterosaurs was an appetizer, then the scene that greeted everyone after the ship docked was like opening the door to a fantastical world.
As far as the eye could see, apart from a few man-made structures at the port, all other areas were pristine wilderness.
There were only jungles and rocks.
From time to time, dinosaurs of various sizes would emerge from the woods to forage by the sea.
At the same time, they could vaguely hear sounds like earthquakes emanating from the center of the island.
Instantly, an aura of primitive wildness washed over them. All the tourists on the ship felt a sense of exhilaration mixed with awe.
Once the ship finally docked, the tourists rushed off immediately.
Simultaneously, Yang Lin, a key guest at the Jurassic Park opening ceremony, also arrived on stage at the park's front plaza.
At first, the tourists didn't notice him, as the dinosaurs on the island were far more captivating.
But at this moment, a colossal figure began to emerge slowly from the island's interior, its heavy footsteps resonating.
When this figure appeared, the tourists, who had been looking around, instantly fell silent.
Traces of fear couldn't help but show in their eyes.
"Is that a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
"If my eyes aren't deceiving me, that is indeed a Tyrannosaurus Rex."
"Should we run?"
"Uh, probably not. There are so many people here, it'll be full after eating just a couple of us. We can just stand further back."
"Besides, isn't there one next to it?"
"Huh? Is that Director Yang? Then it's fine."
Undoubtedly, this opening ceremony was a success. Compared to flashy performances, the appearance of a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex was enough to overshadow everything.
It not only shocked all the tourists but also captured all their attention.
Seeing the crowd's unworldly expressions, Yang Lin, looking satisfied, then stepped onto a nearby stool and mounted the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
In the next second, he produced a microphone from somewhere.
"Dear tourists, as the first visitors to Jurassic Park, you will witness the dawn of a new era."
"I won't waste any more time with pleasantries. I now leave this new world for you to explore yourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tyrannosaurus Rex beneath him let out a long, skyward roar.
Perhaps inspired by its call, other dinosaurs on the island began to respond.
With the cacophony of roars from various dinosaurs filling the air, the tourists finally understood what Yang Lin had meant.
A new era, where humans were no longer the sole dominant species, truly seemed to have arrived.
