There's a small dimensional pocket in the abdomen of the Parrot Recorder, which can store books and pens.
The Parrot Recorder's eyes gleamed, like two flashlights, illuminating a circle around the river. After inspection, it took out its notebook and checked √ next to 'Excellent'.
The environmental organization's task evaluation has four levels: poor, average, good, and excellent.
Poor, the trash was not properly disposed of.
Average, the trash was handled, all thrown into the trash bin.
Good, the trash was handled, but more than half was not recycled into the trash bin and was self-cleaned.
Excellent, environmentally friendly disposal of trash, without adding the slightest burden to the waste treatment plant.
In reality, Tongdu's so-called environmental organization is to reduce the burden on the waste treatment plant.
The population of Tongdu is already saturated, and the daily waste has exceeded the treatment speed of the waste plant.
Therefore, Tongdu's top management established an environmental organization to alleviate the burden on the waste plant.
As for why not build more waste plants?
There's no need.
Yes, Tongdu's top management believes there is no need.
Tongdu is secretly amassing power, preparing to launch an expansion war.
Once the expansion war is successful, Tongdu will build a second city. By then, a large population will be transferred to the new city.
This move will not only solve Tongdu's population pressure but also open up new territories for humanity.
So, Tongdu's top management has not built any more waste plants.
This action is neither right nor wrong.
But it has planted hidden dangers.
It led to the 'Tongdu Garbage Accumulation Incident'.
This incident indirectly caused the death of thousands.
The accumulated garbage bred pets related to garbage, like foul-smelling flies, poison-mosquitoes, Garbage Poison Beasts...
These pets carry multiple germs, leading to various epidemics. The deaths of thousands were due to infectious diseases.
The trash also pollutes the environment. The garbage wastewater flows downstream, polluting the downstream ecological environment, which angers the downstream pet Kings.
As luck would have it, there's a very powerful Forest King Deer downstream from Tongdu, which loves protecting the ecological environment.
The Forest King Deer can fight, heal, and escape.
This made the strong from Tongdu very troubled, forcing them to really pay attention to environmental protection.
More crucially, this Forest King Deer is very measured. It doesn't kill people, it disciplines them. Every time it gets angered, it scatters a cloud of itch-inducing powder like a dense fog, making Tongdu people uncomfortable for several days.
The Parrot Recorder was about to fly back when Li Cunxu offered it a bag of bird cookies.
Bird cookies are snacks specially designed for avian pets, vastly popular among them.
The Parrot Recorder really wanted to eat, swallowed its saliva, and spoke.
"Thank you for your kindness, but there are regulations against eating. Previously, parrots have been poisoned by feeding."
The Parrot Recorder flew away, and Li Cunxu also rode his bike back to the farm cottage. Halfway, he remembered there was half a bag of rice at home he hadn't taken to the farm cottage, so he made a detour home.
Ten meters from his home, Li Cunxu dared not enter; he discovered something particularly horrifying.
Someone was in his house.
He couldn't see the information on the panel, but he could see the panel above the person's head.
At this moment, there was a floating panel inside his house, moving around, seemingly searching for something.
Is it Chen Xi? No.
Chen Xi probably didn't have the key to his house.
Besides, the farm was gifted by Chen Xi, knowing he wasn't home, he'd go to the farm to find him.
Could it be the mysterious person who secretly removed his sister's Forbidden Spirit Nail, causing the original holder's death?
Li Cunxu parked the shared bicycle and quickly crouched into the green belt, quietly watching.
Suddenly, Li Cunxu recalled that in the game "Divine Beast World," there was a setting where the strong are very sensitive to gazes. If he keeps staring like this, it's highly likely the person will discover him immediately.
"Use a mirror, the refraction of a mirror can reduce the strong's sensitivity to being watched to a certain extent."
Here comes the problem, Li Cunxu isn't a girl to carry a pocket mirror around.
Moreover, the reflection from a mirror would also attract attention.
"Staring isn't gonna work, forget it, leave."
Li Cunxu realized just staring could easily expose him, so he decisively left.
"Unfortunately, there's no surveillance in the community, otherwise, the situation could be understood."
However, it was precisely because of this lack of surveillance that Li Cunxu dared to hide his sister in the rain.
Surveillance isn't common in the Divine Beast World, as it brings a sense of being watched, which the strong dislike. Some even deliberately sabotage surveillance cameras.
Many strong characters can destroy surveillance from a distance with little tricks, leaving no trace behind.
Li Cunxu cycled several kilometers in one breath, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Home is a no-go."
"However, this is also a good thing, it proves my suspicion of a mysterious person is correct, I'm not just waging a war of wits with the air."
The next day.
Li Cunxu's environmental account received fifty environmental points.
Environmental points can be exchanged for resources in the organization.
One point is worth about ten yuan, so fifty points equal five hundred yuan.
"Not bad, making money without capital."
Li Cunxu got up to wash, today he must report to School No. 18.
After washing, filled with anticipation, Li Cunxu opened the door to the secondary bedroom.
In the secondary bedroom were the ten Slimes injected with the Slime Mutation Needle the previous day.
Disappointingly, there was no change in the Slimes.
After using the Slime Mutation Needles, there's a high chance for mutations in the first three days. After that, the chance becomes negligible.
He packed six digestion-talented Slimes into pet bags and rode off.
He had to leave early; the farm is located in the suburbs, quite far from School No. 18 in the city.
Luckily, people here generally have physiques akin to those in Pallet Town, even cycling isn't too slow, especially since the original holder was a bicycle fanatic, his speed was a notch above the ordinary.
Upon arriving at School No. 18, at the school gate, under the astonished eyes of many students, Li Cunxu was mercilessly stopped by the guard.
The female guard stated expressionlessly: "This is School No. 18, boys are prohibited from entering."
Li Cunxu explained: "I'm a new student here for registration."
The female guard was full of disbelief, coldly said: "New student registration time is long past, besides, this is an all-girls school, we don't accept male students."
"I have a message from the education bureau."
"Such a laughable lie, if you want to deceive me, no way, Guardian Knight, Immobilization Spell."
Without waiting for Li Cunxu to take out his phone, the female guard summoned immediately, without hesitation, a Guardian Knight holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, clad entirely in steel armor.
The Guardian Knight's eyes turned red, and Li Cunxu was frozen in place.
The Guardian Knight's proficiency with the Immobilization Spell wasn't masterful, it couldn't handle multiple tasks while casting, thus it also stood penalty with Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu stood until almost noon.
A phone call finally arrived, the female guard then asked the Guardian Knight to release the spell.
The female guard insincerely apologized: "Sorry, the principal didn't notify about any male student reporting, that's why you were immobilized, you should quickly go to the principal's office to report!"
Li Cunxu rubbed his legs from standing all morning, realizing this wasn't about being uninformed, it was obviously intentional, giving him a lesson.
If there really was no notice, the female guard should've turned him away outright or called the police, how could she just make him stand all morning like that.
Li Cunxu said nothing, he simply stared at her, making her feel cold.
He remembered this grudge.
He specialized in curses, and anyone who deals with curses is never small-minded.
Though powerless now, that won't always be the case.
As Confucius once said, "Even a ten-generation feud can be avenged."
He was just that petty.
After staring for a while, without a word, he turned and left.
The female guard felt chilled by his stare, once Li Cunxu left, she shook her head, with a hint of disdain and self-comfort in her tone.
"Little brat, putting on a show, startled me."
Li Cunxu knew the primary and secondary culpable parties; the female guard was the executor, the principal was the true culprit. Without the principal's instructions, how dare a mere guard arbitrarily make him stand?
"Troublesome, the first day of transferring schools is like this, this school won't be easy to handle."
But it doesn't matter, if worse comes to worst, transferring schools again is an option, as truth is on his side.
