"Hole, hole, hole, hole..."

Xia Chuhe muttered to himself, "My hen, my hen, my hen..."

The security gate ultimately succumbed to Xia Chuhe's stubbornness, and the red light turned green: "Beep, hen."

"Huh?"

Old Wang, puzzled, rubbed his buttocks and pulled out a thin booklet from his buttock hair.

Old Wang flipped through the booklet, turned a few pages, and suddenly realized.

"Oh, so they're exchange students from other regions."

Old Wang operated the ID card device on the security gate, and the gate spat out a card with two small characters written on it—"Mother Hen".

Xia Chuhe was very satisfied with this; the card smelled fresh and pleasant like ink, not... like duck droppings.

Xia Chuhe is followed by Wang Yan.

Security gate: "Beep, duck eggs."

Wang Yan was shocked: "No, I'm not, my mother... no, I, I, I... Mao Ya!"

Security gate: "Beep, egg duck! Beep, egg duck! Beep, egg duck!"

Wang Yan imitated Xia Chuhe's mannerisms and lingered there, refusing to leave.

Two robotic arms quietly grew out of the door frames on both sides of the security gate, and the robotic arms quietly pushed Wang Yan from behind.

"Beep, duckling!"

Old Wang pulled out a card with the name of an egg-laying duck, flapped his wings, and slammed it firmly onto Wang Yan.

Wang Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Why can Xia Chuhe do it, but he can't?

Xia Chuhe suppressed a laugh. Wang Yan had no idea what kind of animal he was going to become. His personal will was completely crushed by the security gate, so things were bound to go wrong.

People were tested and categorized one after another, and the final results were—

Summer hoeing of rice, hen.

Lu Danggui, Li Yue, and Kongque.

Wang Yan, the duck breeder. Lao Qin, the pigeon racer.

In addition to these five people, there is one racing pigeon, two meat pigeons, three live ducks, three meat ducks, and four egg ducks.

Xia Chuhe frowned upon seeing the test results.

Was her earlier deduction about the classification of security gates wrong?

Old Qin is a doctor who heals the sick and saves lives. He is slightly overweight. Why is he classified as a racing pigeon?

Wang Yan, a man, became a duck for eggs, which is another story.

but!

What's outrageous is that out of a total of 5 laying ducks, 4 of them were male...

What kind of weird thing is this dungeon that insists on having male ducks lay eggs?

Wang Yan kept nagging and muttering, "I'm a man! No matter how you categorize me, I'm still a male duck, right? How can I lay eggs? This isn't my job, how am I supposed to do it?"

...

The mercenaries whispered among themselves, discussing in hushed tones the consequences of the classification.

Seeing that the sorting was complete, Old Wang turned and walked towards a small hut next to the main gate of the house. It peeked into the hut, its thick, long duck neck stuck outside the door.

If we were to grab Old Wang by the neck now, would we be able to subdue him?

Xia Chuhe couldn't resist eyeing the duck neck and making a pinching gesture.

Old Wang's head only stayed in the room for a few seconds. When he returned, he was followed by two animals.

A tall, imposing green-headed pigeon dressed in a black suit.

And an elegant blue peacock wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The blue peacock was the only animal not wearing clothes. Although it was huge, it looked much more normal than Old Wang and the green-headed pigeon.

Three animals approached.

When the blue peacock saw Li Yue and Lu Dangui in the crowd, it suddenly let out a sweet "┗|｀O′|┛Aww~~", as if it had just woken up and had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in its throat.

Lu Dangui and Li Yue looked at the peacock who had suddenly gone mad.

The peacock turned its head to reveal its profile, raised its wing, parted two feathers, and pushed up the bridge of its gold-rimmed glasses.

Xia Chuhe: ...yue

When the blue peacock was about ten meters away from the group, it proudly displayed its tail feathers.

The enormous feather fan was bigger than the classroom, blocking the sunlight from above everyone's heads and casting dappled shadows.

A sense of oppression washed over me.

Even so, Xia Chuhe still had to admit that it was too beautiful.

The neatly arranged feather-like false eyes, like gemstones, are perfectly embedded in the feather fan, refracting a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

In a daze, the fake eye seemed to come alive, blinking at Xia Chuhe like a beautiful woman sending flirtatious glances.

"Coo, shut your fluffy feathers." The green-headed pigeon interrupted the peacock's spellcasting.

The peacock reluctantly folded its feathers.

Everyone then seemed to wake from a dream, a deep sense of exhaustion washing over them, as if all their energy had been drained.

With his last remaining strength, Xia Chuhe wondered if the monsters in the dungeon were to attack now, would they still have the strength to escape?

Fortunately, Old Wang and his group did not make a move.

Old Wang: "Quack, the ducks follow me, the pigeons follow Old Lü, and the peacocks follow Old Lan."

It looked at Xia Chuhe: "Hey, you come with me too."

The group was divided into three groups, entered the house, and headed in three different directions.

Xia Chuhe looked at Lu Dangui and Li Yue with concern.

The blue peacock walked beside the two, spreading its tail feathers every two steps. The two seemed to be remotely controlled, walking a few steps and then stopping.

As the figures of the group gradually disappeared into the distance, Xia Chuhe noticed that the time they paused seemed to be getting shorter and shorter.

...

Soon, Old Wang led the ducks to a row of sheds with wooden signs hanging outside – Duck Differentiation Room.

Old Wang addressed the ducks in front of their enclosure: "Quack, don't think that the results of the sorting and testing determine your fate."

"The fate of every bird is in its own hands! A noble bird is 1% talent and 99% perspiration! You must strive hard to become the most promising bird!"

"I once saw an ugly duckling that was destined to become a worthless meat duck. But this ugly duckling did not accept its fate. Instead, it worked hard to develop and grow, and eventually transformed into a beautiful swan, instantly increasing its value hundreds of times!"
