What? Unemployed right after graduation? Hurry up and find a job! What? You sent out over a hundred resumes and nobody even got back to you?
On a whim, you submit a resume for the position of zoo director. But why do they transfer the entire zoo to you without even an interview?
You think it's a windfall, but who knew this terrible zoo would be drowning in debt, with nothing inside but a sickly tiger, some pheasants, and a husky?
Suddenly, a golden snub-nosed monkey jumps onto my shoulder and starts arguing with the skinny dog in front of me. The skinny dog says, "You horse keeper!" The monkey says, "You skinny dog!" Yuan Chang cries, "A ghost! The animals are talking!" The monkey says, "Quit yelling. The skinny dog, maybe, but am I an animal? Listen up: I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong!" The skinny dog says, "What do you mean, 'maybe'? I'm no nobody either. You listen up too: I am the Howling Celestial Dog, loyal companion to the True Lord Erlang!"
It turns out this isn't an ordinary zoo, but a penitential garden where Heaven imprisons divine beasts who have misbehaved.
Before long, several more divine beasts show up: a nine-tailed fox, a panda, Jingwei, Yinglong, the Black Bear Demon, Xuanwu, Taotie, Baize, Kunpeng, the Peacock Buddha Mother...
Wait, isn't this place for divine beasts? Why have all you proper gods come down here too? Yang Jian says, "I'm just here to check on my dog. I'm definitely not here to have fun." Nezha says, "I'm absolutely not here to play video games." Taibai Jinxing says, "I'm absolutely not here on vacation." Chang'e says, "I'm absolutely not here to shop."
Do you really think I'll believe that? ...
