The Academy Gatekeepers: Pig and Donkey
Hua Qiang landed in front of the gate of the White Tiger Academy and then looked at this renowned institution, one of the top four universities in China.
Facing us was a wide and huge school gate.
The school gate stands tall and imposing, exuding an aura of solemnity and majesty.
On both sides are sturdy black stone pillars, with mysterious patterns carved on them, as if telling the story of the academy's long history.
Two stone pillars support an arched stone beam, with the four large characters "Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dancing" carved in the center – White Tiger Academy.
The most eye-catching feature is the majestic white White Tiger University statue above the main gate.
The White Tiger University is so lifelike, it seems ready to leap off the door at any moment.
It has a lithe and agile body, smooth and powerful muscle lines, and its white fur shines brightly in the sunlight.
The White Tiger University held its head high and roared to the sky, its roar seemingly able to pierce the clouds and shake the soul.
Its sharp and majestic eyes exude a kingly aura, inspiring awe and fear.
Sharp claws gripped the door frame tightly, as if guarding the peace of the academy.
It seemed as if there was an invisible aura surrounding it, giving people a sense of powerful strength and majesty.
This white White Tiger University statue is not only the symbol of the White Tiger Academy, but also a spiritual symbol!
It inspires students to move forward bravely, displaying the courage and fearlessness of White Tiger University.
"Who goes there? What are you doing, sneaking around like this in broad daylight?"
Hua Qiang was engrossed in admiring the White Tiger University statue when this sudden shout interrupted his enjoyment.
Two burly men suddenly sprang out from the gate, blocking his way with unfriendly expressions.
Hua Qiang was speechless.
Does this mean he sees himself as an idle nobody, a loafer, or even a thug with malicious intent?
Perhaps my standing here, looking left and right, aroused the other party's suspicion.
Moreover, it is currently school term time, and all students who are supposed to be at school have arrived. They are either in class or training at the training ground.
Standing alone at this gate, he certainly looked a bit out of place.
"I'm here to report for duty!"
Hua Qiang looked at the two burly gatekeepers and patiently explained.
"Reporting for duty?" The two frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on their faces.
"School's been in session for over ten days now, and you're only showing up to register?"
"Are you a freshman in this year's class?"
"You're not thinking of using the new student registration as an excuse to sneak into our White Tiger Academy, are you?"
The two burly gatekeepers felt that their brains were working perfectly today, their thinking was very clear, and they directly grasped the key point.
"Kid, don't cause trouble. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now and don't force us to take action!"
"In the past two days, we have caught several people who tried to infiltrate our school and commit wicked acts."
"Especially those guys who're really into flirting and trying to sneak in to pick up girls!"
Hua Qiang frowned slightly. Damn it, the person he'd fallen for didn't seem like a good person at all?
"I'm really here to report for duty. Why don't you call the principal and report to him?"
Hahaha!
The two men were amused by Hua Qiang's words, feeling that hearing "hu" was the biggest joke of the century.
They both thought this guy was a complete idiot for trying to get them to call the principal.
Can the principal's phone be called at will?
Are people at their level allowed to freely call the principal?
Is this some kind of attempt to destroy their livelihood?
"Get out of here! Stop spouting nonsense, or we'll beat you up!"
One of the burly men had a fierce look on his face, hoping to scare Hua Qiang away.
He had used this trick many times, and it was very effective!
Furthermore, given his mastery of the Grand Martial Master realm, coupled with his size and fierce expression, most people would cower and run away.
But today, his trick failed him.
Hua Qiang was completely baffled by these two. They must not be very bright, otherwise they wouldn't have been sent to guard the gate.
He recalled his past life, where many organizations, including some schools, assigned gatekeepers who were either too old to work and just waiting to die, or young people who were a bit stubborn.
To put it another way, it's about providing employment for people with intellectual disabilities and alleviating poverty!
Hua Qiang crossed his arms, a playful look on his face.
Are you sure you want me to leave and not let me in?
Aren't you worried that if I leave, you'll lose your jobs?
The two men exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.
"Kid, stop trying to fool us. Do you think we look like we can be easily fooled?"
"Why don't you ask us a riddle or a question and see if you can stump us?"
Hua Qiang laughed. These two are truly a perfect pair. How did White Tiger Academy come up with the idea of having these two guard the gate?
They must be relatives of some school leader. They used their positions to get them here, so they can get resources and earn a salary to support their families.
He immediately became interested and looked at the Human Path, "Since you are so confident, I will pose a question to you."
Uh~ there was an old farmer who raised a pig and a donkey.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, farmers are busy slaughtering chickens and sheep to prepare for the holiday.
The old farmer's family only had this one pig and this one donkey.
On this day, the farmer sharpened his knife in the yard, preparing to slaughter one of the pigs to get through the year.
Do you think he should kill the pig first, or the donkey first?
The two burly men exchanged a glance, then began to think. The next moment, one of them raised his hand and said, "Slaughter the pig first!"
Hua Qiang's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, and he asked, "Why?"
"Hehe," the big man chuckled smugly and said, "All pigs do all day long is eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and do no work at all."
They contribute nothing to the family and even consume food.
Unlike donkeys, which are strong and can do a lot of farm work for their owners.
So, slaughter the pig first!
Hua Qiang nodded and laughed, "That's what the donkey thinks too!"
"Huh? Really?"
The man was overjoyed.
"Hehe, Third Elder, you got it wrong. I said kill the donkey first!" Another burly man proudly gave his answer.
"Oh, why?" Hua Qiang asked another person with a smile.
The man quickly replied, "Donkeys have big appetites and need to eat all day long. This family isn't well-off, how can we withstand the donkey's abuse?"
To reduce expenses and maximize profits, the natural approach is to eliminate this most energy-consuming element.
This donkey is bigger and has more meat than a pig. If the donkey is killed, the farmer can eat it for a long time.
So I say, kill the donkey first!
Hua Qiang nodded, a smile in his eyes, "Hmm, not bad, even pigs think so!"
The man was smug, believing he had answered the question correctly.
However, the next moment, their faces froze and then turned gloomy.
Damn it, I've been tricked and fallen into this human trap. One of them has become the pig, and the other has become the donkey!
"Damn it, kid, you're messing with us."
Hua Qiang shrugged and nodded, saying, "Yeah, I'm playing you guys. With your intelligence, you're only fit to be pigs and donkeys!"
"You bastard, how dare you humiliate us! You're asking for it!"
The two burly gatekeepers brandished their fists and lunged at Hua Qiang.
