Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

As the laughter subsided, everyone turned their attention back to the screen when they saw Wang Yuyu suddenly stop shoveling snow, look up at the seven-meter-high fence, and then glance at the distant woods, as if he were pondering something.

The next second, he suddenly took off running and charged towards the woods, his massive body creating a white wave in the snow before quickly disappearing from the camera's view.

"Oh no! It's trying to escape?"

Wang Weiguo sat bolt upright and roared at security captain Wang Jianjun, "Xiao Wang! Quickly pull up all the surveillance footage from the surrounding area! I want to see what tricks it's up to!"

"Yes, Director!" Wang Jianjun's fingers flew across the keyboard, switching between different surveillance feeds. Just as everyone was about to stomp their feet in frustration, the camera at the edge of the woods finally captured Wang Yuyu's figure.

Looking at the scene on the screen, everyone frowned, their relaxed expressions replaced by shock.

Wang Yuyu stood in a thicket of mixed trees, her front paws raised high, and then she slammed them down!

With a crisp "crack," the branch, three or four centimeters thick, snapped, and the snow fell in a flurry.

He picked up a few twigs and dragged them toward the fence, leaving a long trail in the snow.

"What...what is this supposed to be?" Wang Weiguo muttered to himself.

Tang Li's eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked at Chen Dan.

Chen Dan stood there, a slight smile on her lips, her eyes shining brightly, as if to say, "See, I told you so."

Tang Li swallowed hard and muttered to herself, "Could it be... that Sister Dan was right?"

On the screen, Wang Yuyu had already dragged the tree branch back to the fence.

He first laid the thickest branch horizontally on the snowdrift he had just dug, and then continued to dig around the snowdrift, piling the loose snow onto it.

They piled up a layer of snow, then laid a few branches on top, and repeatedly stomped on it with their huge feet to compact the snow and branches.

The snowstorm intensified, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes landed on his back and on the ever-growing snowdrifts, which ironically helped him speed up his progress.

The monitoring room was so quiet you could hear each other breathing; everyone was silent!

The people who had just mocked Chen Dan were now gaping, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After a long pause, one of the staff members exclaimed, "Isn't this 'iron rice bowl' policy a bit too clever?"

This sentence immediately sparked a conversation among everyone.

"My God... is it really stacking diving platforms?"

"This isn't a tiger; it's clearly an engineer in tiger's skin!"

"He's even more resourceful than my kid. My son needs my help to build a snowman..."

"It's incredibly clever; is it even a tiger anymore?"

"I've never seen such a smart tiger, even smarter than Bao Bao!"

"..."

The crowd chattered excitedly, showing no sign of the tension that "tigers are about to enter the park," but rather the excitement of discovering a new world.

Tang Li clenched her fist excitedly, her eyes shining brighter than ever as she looked at the busy tiger figure on the screen.

She knew that her "dream tiger" was definitely not ordinary!

Outside the fence, Wang Yuyu stood on the newly compacted snow platform, looked up at the top of the fence, and thought to himself, "If I pile up two more layers, the height will be about right. I have to jump over this time, otherwise I'll go hungry again in this snowy weather."

He shook the snow off his head, turned around, and rushed into the woods again.

…………

An hour later.

Wang Yuyu squatted in front of the snowdrift diving platform, his amber eyes measuring the more than three-meter-high platform again and again, his tiger mouth slightly open as if he were smiling.

His fluffy beard trembled with each breath, and the snowflakes clinging to it fell off in a flurry, giving him a smug look of "the project has passed inspection."

The seven-meter fence has now been mostly cut away by the snow platform, and the remaining height is not even as high as the fence he jumped over half a year ago.

Now his body has grown even bigger, and the explosive power in his muscles is even greater than before. To him, this height is no different from stepping over a threshold.

Wang Yu took seven or eight steps back, leaving a trail of evenly deep and shallow footprints in the snow.

He lowered his body, raised his hips slightly, and stretched his tail into a straight line.

The next second, he stomped his hind legs hard, creating two deep pits in the snow. His massive body shot out like an arrow, his four hooves leaving a white trail on the snow. Using the momentum of his run-up, he rushed onto the diving platform, lightly touched the surface with his claws, and his body gracefully took off into the air.

The seven-meter fence flashed past him, the wind whistled past his ears, and he even had the leisure to flick his tail.

With a muffled "thud," he landed steadily on the lawn inside the fence. His front paws were slightly bent as he landed, perfectly dissipating the impact and barely shaking off much of the snow from the nearby trees.

Wang Yu glanced back at the still-rotating camera on the fence, her amber eyes filled with disdain, as if to say, "That's all?"

He snorted heavily through his nose, and a small clump of white mist condensed in the cold air. Then he flicked his tail and twitched his nose.

The aroma of braised pork wafting from the cafeteria, mixed with the steam from the rice, drifted into his nose on the breeze, making his stomach churn.

"Dry rice, dry rice, to fill my stomach!"

He muttered to himself, took a step, and charged towards the cafeteria.

In the back door monitoring room, the surveillance footage abruptly stopped as Wang Yuyu landed.

Everyone watched as the tiger easily scaled the seemingly impregnable fence. The entire monitoring room was so quiet that the sound of wind and snow hitting the glass outside could be heard.

Wang Weiguo held his forehead with one hand, while unconsciously stroking his thermos with the other. His expression was bitter, as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.

Several young staff members rubbed their eyes, as if trying to see through the monitor screen, repeatedly muttering, "Is that a tiger? Has it come to life?"

If they hadn't conducted physical examinations on Wang Yuyu three times before, confirming that he was indeed a tiger, and a juvenile one at that, they probably would have suspected that he was a person in tiger skin.

Chen Dan, who raises monkeys, stood in the corner, chin raised, his eyes full of smugness that said, "I told you so," but he didn't say anything more to avoid being laughed at again.

Tang Li nudged Wang Weiguo, who was still "questioning his life," and whispered, "Director, the 'iron rice bowl'... the 'iron rice bowl' is really in, what do we do now?"

Wang Weiguo snapped back to reality and looked at Wang Jianjun: "Xiao Wang! When are the forest police arriving?"

Wang Jianjun said with a distressed expression, "Director, don't even mention it! The snow outside is too heavy; the helicopter can't take off at all. They're driving here now, and it'll take at least another half hour!"

Wang Weiguo's face darkened further, and he asked again, "How's your security team's training with tranquilizer guns going?"

Originally, the zoo was not equipped with tranquilizer guns, but since Wang Yuyu was always active in the vicinity of the zoo, Wang Weiguo applied for three tranquilizer guns and distributed them to the park's security team!
