CHAPTER 59 (2/2)

Compared to the second prince, Xie Xi’s actions were too insignificant. He shook his head and said, “This is nothing. Quickly go and get your crescent fruit.”

The little mermaid swam away cheerfully.

Xie Xi quietly followed and felt even more pained after arriving at the small town.

The ocean was very large, the area far exceeded that of the land. The ocean was also much more mysterious and unpredictable than the land.

It was like the China that Xie Xi had lived on. The territory was vast and not all parts of it were suitable for people to live on, just as not all parts of the ocean were suitable for merpeople.

There was a strict hierarchy among merpeople and there was a great reason for this disparity in power.

The king lived in the deep sea where the sea pressure was huge. Ordinary merpeople couldn’t live here at all. Ironically, the rubbish couldn’t reach the deep sea and only polluted the shallow sea, leading to the ‘bullying’ of the most vulnerable merpeople.

The most suitable sea area for these merpeople were places closest to the land. These places were places where the land people wantonly dropped rubbish.

The merpeople didn’t want to migrate because they had nowhere to go.

In the face of the land pollution, they could only bear it. Xie Xi finally experienced the anger of the militant faction.

Anyone who saw this scene and saw their compatriots suffering such pain wouldn’t be able to hold back their anger. Who could hold back their grievances and not want to punish those responsible?

The merpeople were just living a calm life. Why should they get used to the poisonous sea water, get used to their skin being corroded and get used to this endless rubbish!

Xie Xi’s brow furrowed and he returned to the garbage dump.

There was a shield that barely separated the rubbish from the tower, but the seawater that seeped in still hurt the town.

Xie Xi wasn’t afraid of being poisoned to death.

He closed his eyes and entered straight in. It was a needle-like sting that spread across his skin. The scales on his fishtail had a hard protective layer yet he could feel his scales falling off!

What the hell was this?

What type of monsters produced these garbage that couldn’t be processed and were piled up like mountains!

Roast Pork Bun was distressed.”Daddy, are you okay?” The pan was slow and not fatal, thus it wasn’t painless.

Xie Xi suffered silently, his brow wrinkled very tightly.

Roast Pork Bun anxiously moved around him, using small claws to peel off the dark water. Unfortunately, he couldn’t help Xie Xi.

Xie Xi finally arrived in front of the mountain of garbage. He took a breath and hot water entered his throat. It was like drinking sulphuric acid as his insides were corroded.

Finally, there was a prompt in the lower right corner. [Currently more than 10,000 tons of garbage can be collected. Do you want to collect it?]

Xie Xi immediately agreed.

Sure enough, a sufficient amount was required to trigger the task. The target value of one million was too large and couldn’t be reached simply by collecting dozens of garbage. Thus, it couldn’t be collected.

Once Xie Xi agreed to the collection, another prompt popped up. [Your items bar is full. Please clean it up.]

Xie Xi was stunned. He had a total of three spaces in his items bar. Could he collect one million tons of garbage?

Wait, it could overlap! The same category of items could be overlapped. The things in front of him were varied but they were all rubbish. Thus, freeing one item space should be enough.

Xie Xi thought about it and called out to Roast Pork Bun. “Do me a favour.”

Roast Pork Bun cried out, “Daddy, you can stab yourself with a knife.” If it was so bad, stab himself with a knife and then Roast Pork Bun could relieve the pain!

Xie Xi shook his head. “I’m fine. Help me apply these healing potions to the town’s merpeople.”

Roast Pork Bun was stunned.

“Can you do it?”

Roast Pork Bun quickly nodded. “Yes!”

Xie Xi patted his small head. “Go ahead.”

Roast Pork Bun flew away with the potions and Xie Xi managed to clear one space. He once again confirmed it and like a miracle, the garbage turning the sea into a hell disappeared!

Xie Xi glanced at the items bar where there was a group of dark things.

He looked at the details.

Name: Garbage.

Grade: None.

Details: If it is produced, please dispose of it. The stench of the manufacturer is being emitted from it.

Xie Xi’s bottom right corner finally showed the progress of the side task. It was ironically green, the colour of environmental protection and the progress was 1%.

So much rubbish was only 10,000 tons.

What was the concept of one million tons?

There were still 100 endless garbage dumps.

The thing that made his scalp numb was that one million tons were just a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of rubbish produced.

Xie Xi frowned and couldn’t feel the pain in his body at all.

Roast Pork Bun came back and still had some healing potions left. He anxiously said, “Daddy, I will give you a potion!”

Xie Xie Xi didn’t want to waste potions and was about to say that he would just die once…

Then his pupils shrank as he saw a new progress bar that appeared on the main task bar.

White?

Whose was this?

The eldest prince or the fourth prince? Were they nearby?

Xie Xi used a healing potion so that he wasn’t bothered by the stinging.

The next moment, there was a faint cold smell and a slender man in a blue uniform emerged.

His expression was cold. “Who are you?”

It was the fourth prince!

He saw the scene of the garbage being instantly cleared up!

Xie Xi stood up straight and didn’t know how to explain.

The fourth prince came over, an unfathomable look in his eyes. “Maybe I should ask, are you a human?”
