Chapter 105 Going Home The work that Kasang Tao and Ling did this time...

The work that Sang Zhitao and Ling were doing this time was not easy at all. It seemed like a routine cleaning job, but the working environment was much dirtier and messier than usual.

Looking at the room crammed full of clutter, she couldn't help but twitch her lips: "This... is really crammed in!"

Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes at her and urged, "Alright, get to work."

As she spoke, Ling lowered her head and pulled out the clothes that had overflowed the room.

Looking at the stained clothes in his hand, he couldn't help but complain, "Now I know why I paid such a high price; I still didn't get enough!"

Sang Zhitao sighed and went over to help him tidy up the things by the door. After a while, she remembered something and asked, "No, we meant to do it all for 800. We've lost a lot of money. 800 a day is about right!"

Ling sorted the items she had shoveled out and stuffed them into garbage bags before clearing her throat and saying, "They said that everything we clean up belongs to us."

Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, subconsciously glancing at the garbage bag that was almost filled with soiled clothes, and asked in surprise, "Really? These could probably be exchanged for a lot of money at the recycling station."

Ling kept working, saying, "Don't worry."

His affirmation immediately gave Sang Zhitao boundless motivation, and even her movements of pulling up the trash became much more nimble and energetic.

After a whole day of work, surrounded by more than twenty garbage bags, the two looked at the mountain of garbage, which was only slightly damaged, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly overwhelmed them.

“I always felt that eight hundred was too little…” Sang Zhitao said, panting heavily.

Ling wiped her sweat and patted the garbage bag beneath her: "It's okay, I just roughly calculated that these bags of clothes are worth about five or six hundred yuan when recycled."

Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. Then she turned to look at the two pieces of trash in the room, her eyes lighting up. She brushed the grime off her clothes and stood up: "Then what are we waiting for! Let's get to work!"

Ling was startled by her sudden action. Seeing her working with such enthusiasm, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said helplessly, "No wonder you're like this. Money gives you motivation."

Sang Zhitao ignored him. No matter how excited she was, her physical strength was limited. Ten minutes later, she collapsed onto the garbage bag.

"Not trying anymore?" Ling couldn't help but tease.

Sang Zhitao sighed deeply: "This world is not for me... Money is hard to earn and life is tough."

Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes again before saying, "Who told you to choose the ground instead of Sky City when you were born?"

Sang Zhitao was lying lazily on the garbage bag, relieving her aching limbs, when she suddenly sat up upon hearing Ling's words: "Sky City?!"

Ling was so startled by her that she almost dropped her water glass. She couldn't help but glance at her sideways and asked, "What's wrong? Weren't you paying attention in class again?"

Sang Zhitao frowned, then chuckled awkwardly, "But I've already returned it to the teacher..."

Ling didn't pursue the matter, after all, the original owner was indeed a character who was very hardworking but actually a fool.

He thought for a moment before taking a sip of water and saying, "At the moment of our birth, our instincts determine whether we will go to the Sky City to become the Sky Clan or stay on the Earth to become the Microscopic Clan."

Sang Zhitao's eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked curiously, "Are the Sky Clan members the same size as us?"

Ling seemed dumbfounded by her stupidity and couldn't help but retort, "How could that be! We were shrunk in post-production."

Before Sang Zhitao could ask any further questions, Ling continued, "Legend has it that many, many, many years ago, this place was a rich and prosperous world. However, ambitious people started a war, and when resources were exhausted, the peacemakers joined hands to suppress the war."

"However, the planet's resources were exhausted at that time, and humans could not survive on it. Therefore, the Peacemakers studied ways to save humanity. Some believed that they should stay and repair the home planet, while others believed that they should take humanity into space to find other habitable planets."

"And then?" Sang Zhitao asked curiously.

Ling took a sip of water and continued, "Later, the people who left the planet brought back the gods..."

"God?!" Sang Zhitao exclaimed in surprise.

Ling nodded: "God established a rule that after a child is born, he should follow his instincts and choose to enter Sky City or stay in Micro City. The two cities must not fight each other. They can only resolve their resource disputes through civil disputes. Because humanity was divided into two groups, there are not many people on either side, so the resources are sufficient, and the planet has returned to peace."

This is a background story that did not appear in the original book, but it made Sang Zhitao realize that the guess that the two worlds mentioned by Team Leader Sheng An were based on the same background was correct.

"So... the people of Sky City don't have the concept of family, and family is even a forbidden word?" Sang Zhitao murmured.

Although the voice was soft, Ling caught it and sniffed: "Sky City is very strange. Many years ago, Sky City was just like us, where everyone loved each other, got married, and had children. But ever since they had these four great families, they have subtly erased the way Sky City people love each other and semi-forced them to remain single."

“It’s very strange…” Sang Zhitao frowned. “So, Sky City has a secret.”

He nimbly said, "Even if there are secrets, it's none of our business; those are for the big shots to worry about."

Sang Zhitao opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She stood up and helped Ling clean up some more trash before helping Ling carry the trash to the ground. Then she called over people from the recycling center to calculate the amount.

They were busy until seven or eight o'clock in the evening before they parted ways, exhausted, at the intersection of the rose garden and the tulip garden, and went home separately.

Unlike Yu Ling, who went straight to bed after washing up, Sang Zhitao sat at her desk, organized all the stories Ling had told her that day, and then frowned as she turned on her computer.

Like Sky City, the network in the microscopic world is simple and backward. She subconsciously typed in Sky City's forum, thinking she wouldn't be able to log in, but found that the page opened normally.

Sang Zhitao frowned and subconsciously scrolled through the mouse, only to see the latest posts on the page.

"The Lan Family, one of the four major clans, announces its new generation talent development plan." "The 48th Special Talent Examination is now open for registration..."

She clicked on the posting function, tentatively wrote a few words, and clicked publish.

"bite!"

A message popped up on the screen: "Violation of IP address, posting prohibited."

Sang Zhitao didn't try again. After casually browsing a few posts, she left the forum and opened the forum page for Microcosm.

The online forums of Microcity and Skycity have very different styles. Skycity's forum is mostly about leisure content such as food and TV series, while Microcity's forum is mostly about practical content such as job hunting and policy information.

She was idly browsing through the posts when a few posts appeared before her, making her immediately sit up straight.

Seeking advice: How can I conduct prenatal education to encourage my child to choose to stay in the micro-city after birth? Urgent!

"Question: My child has been sent to Sky City. What kind of points are needed to apply for a virtual family visit?"

Help! Help! My child was sent to Sky City but was then returned. What should I do? How do I raise a giant baby?

In the last post, the poster shared a photo of a baby. The baby was only the size of a baby's finger, and the huge baby's body was lying on the ground, with a collapsed flower house beneath it.

Sang Zhitao couldn't help but twitch her lips; this really was a super-sized baby.

She scrolled down and saw one of the replies: "The original poster can apply for a shrinking device."

"How many points do I need to apply? I've never applied before and I really don't know how. Could you please provide a tutorial?"

"Go check the mission hall. If any engineers want to debug the equipment, they will be recruiting lab technicians. If that doesn't work, try going to the administration hall through special channels."

"Special channels are not easy to use. Don't listen to the person above. Recently, a lot of people have been returned, and there are long queues at the administrative hall."

"You can listen to the person upstairs; his IP address is from the administrative hall."

Sang Zhitao rubbed her fingertips, looked at the shrinking device for a moment, and replied to the post: "What are the requirements for an ordinary person to make a shrinking device?"

The post was quickly replied to.

"Dream on, that's faster."

"Although the person upstairs was impolite, what they said makes a lot of sense."

...

"Please don't discourage the children; there are other ways."

After reading many people's joking comments, someone finally gave a serious reply, and Sang Zhitao quickly replied to his post: "Please elaborate, thank you."

"If you can pass the engineer certification exam before you turn twenty, you might be able to access engineer forums where you can find basic tutorials and make one by hand. However, a friendly reminder: the safety of any handmade device cannot be guaranteed."

Seeing the two figures being hand-molded, Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow. Having already experienced hand-molding bubble models, she was no longer afraid of doing handicrafts.

However, she frowned when she saw the engineer's certificate.

After all, she really didn't want to study anymore...

and……

Sang Zhitao looked at the information on the identity tag hanging on the side. The original owner, Huahua, was already nineteen years old. There were only four months left until her twentieth birthday. If she wanted to achieve this, she had to complete all the courses within four months and reach a qualified level.

"This is simply the college entrance exam within the college entrance exam, the Hengshui of Hengshui..." Sang Zhitao pressed her temples with both hands and kept rubbing them.

The engineer exam materials in Microcity are completely free, so she downloaded a set to her computer.

Looking at the text, which was even more complex and difficult to understand than the Bubble Doctor assessment materials, she felt as if she were reading a book written in heaven.

An hour later, with her eyes already swollen and round, Sang Zhitao couldn't resist any longer and fell asleep right there on the computer.

A sharp alarm sounded, and Sang Zhitao, who had only been gone for a short while, returned.

The people at the base were both surprised and at a loss.

Because the large bed where Sang Zhitao should have been was completely empty!

"Where are they?!" When Li Mingguo rushed to the base, the observation room was already crowded with people. "Did the alarm malfunction?"

The guard shook his head: "It's been checked, no problem."

"How so?" Li Mingguo continued to ask.

His secretary quickly replied, "According to the alarm and our observations, Tao Tao has indeed returned, but we can't see her at all."

"The world hasn't changed this time, has it?" Li Mingguo frowned and looked at the teachers and students of the Space Group.

Professor Qian Fang shook her head: "Based on the collected waves, it is definitely a bubble world."

"Investigate!" A fierce look appeared on Li Mingguo's face.

Without further delay, everyone hurriedly went about their tasks.

"Found it!" Not long after, Lin Jing suddenly shouted, holding up a detector.
