8 Change of Sky

◎I am my sister's puppy◎

Zhu Ning opened the system panel and re-examined his panel values, which showed a lot more data than before.

Name: Zhu Ning

Age: 19

Education: Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering

Status: Fifth-class citizen

Talent: Danger Prediction

Mutation direction: Unknown

Degree of Alienation: Unknown

Physical strength: Not enhanced

Spirit value: 100 (normal people's value is 20)

HP: 20 (normal person's HP is 70)

Luck value: 1 (normal people's value is 50)

Purification value: 545 (can be exchanged for other points, each 100 purification value can increase health by 1)

The purification value and luck value are newly activated. The luck value is only 1, which is reasonable. No wonder she encountered such bad luck as the wrong rating of the contaminated area.

Purification Points can be redeemed for rewards or added to other points. The minimum redemption amount is 500 Purification Points, and each redemption increases 5 Health Points.

It is worth noting that her health seems to be a bit low, only 20.

She possessed a primary talent, precognition of danger, which Li Nianchuan had mentioned before, but she didn't know how well it would work. She had no idea of ​​the degree of alienation or the direction of the mutation.

The rotten fish head sounds more practical. Before, Zhu Ning could only be contaminated by pollutants, but now she can contaminate others.

It's worth mentioning that it can even mentally pollute pollutants, making them even dirtier? When running away, she can give herself full speed.

It would consume her health, and since her health hadn't increased yet, she probably couldn't withstand such a drain. Another reward, explosives, could destroy buildings, but Zhu Ning hadn't yet encountered such a large-scale mission.

Besides, although this thing has great destructive power, its usage scenario is actually very limited. Zhu Ning must at least ensure that it will not harm his teammates.

She did some post-mortem review: Did she get the reward? If she did, was it useful? It seemed like it wasn't working at the moment; it was all for nothing.

The reward item is nice, but it's useless if she can't use it.

Can you give her some props suitable for beginners? She won’t be able to handle such advanced things if you give her some.

Wait...Zhu Ning suddenly had a guess.

The level of the item given is so high that Zhu Ning has to save up purification value and health value like crazy before she can use it. Is this damn system forcing her to upgrade?

Zhu Ning: “…”

Had the system seen through her lazy nature and couldn't help but take action? She had worked so hard, but she had only completed 1% of the main quest, purifying her homeland.

Zhu Ning's intuition was correct. This was a big pie. If she wanted to complete this business, she would have to devote her entire life to it.

But she seemed to have grasped some clues about the purification process, so to complete this main quest, she had to keep entering the contaminated area? And then contain the contaminated spores?

The platform was rotting, its surroundings slowly revealing the sewers. The contaminated area crumbled as the pollutants died. Zhu Ning sighed deeply and remained silent for a minute, facing the flying contaminated spores.

Article 5 of the Cleaner's Work Rules: Containing contaminated spores is the first priority.

Zhu Ning started by cleaning a straw-like prop from his backpack, and then began to "pick cotton" very consciously.

[Ding—Purification Value +1]

The more spores Zhu Ning collects, the more purification value accumulates. This is not "picking cotton", this is saving life points!

Li Nianchuan ran off the bus in a hurry. The whole last bus was rotten and smelly. He got off the bus with all his might and the first thing he did was to look for Zhu Ning.

It turned out that Zhu Ning was fine. She was very serious about...sweeping the garbage.

He was in such a mess, his overalls were covered in scratches from the fishmen, and his helmet was cracked. Yet, Zhu Ning continued to move slowly, collecting the contaminated spores bit by bit.

Li Nianchuan was stunned. What kind of a king was Zhu Ning? Had he not forgotten his mission even at this moment? He could fight monsters and sweep up trash. He was the living Sweeping Monk!

"You..." Li Nianchuan didn't give up and asked, "Are you working?"

Zhu Ning didn't even raise his head: "What else?"

"You don't have to fight so hard, do you?" Li Nianchuan really didn't have that kind of awareness. What he had just seen in the contaminated area was enough to give him nightmares for a month.

He doesn't have the mental strength to do that. After beating the monster, the monster's health is still high and he can just turn around and start working.

Zhu Ning sighed, "It's all commission."

Her mind kept reminding her that her purification value increased by 1, which made it hard not to be tempted.

Li Nianchuan: "..."

So what Zhu Ning said on the underground track was true? Is she really creating achievements?

"Hello? Li Nianchuan?" A crackling sound of electricity came from the helmet. After the fishman died, the mental pollution disappeared and communication was finally restored.

Li Nianchuan almost cried when he heard Xu Meng's voice, "Captain!"

Xu Meng's voice sounded anxious. "Are you okay? Where's Zhu Ning?"

Zhu Ning, while collecting the contaminated spores with one hand, replied, "Alive."

Xu Meng breathed a sigh of relief. God knows it was a miracle that the two cleaners were still alive after being trapped in the contaminated area.

Xu Meng: "The technical center's rating was incorrect. You've mistakenly entered a Class D contaminated area."

It was indeed D-level, Li Nianchuan thought, his estimation was correct.

Xu Meng: "The contaminated area has cracked open. I'll be here to find you soon. Please wait where you are. The demon hunters are here and will start a rescue as soon as they land."

The D-level contaminated area is not too difficult for the demon hunter.

Li Nianchuan said cautiously: "Actually... the demon hunter doesn't need to come."

"Why?" Xu Meng wondered. There was the sound of wind over there, and it should be coming this way.

Li Nianchuan took a quick look around. The surroundings were filled with polluted bodies and contaminated spores. He was sure that there were no living pollutants. This contaminated area was very clean.

This was all done by him and Zhu Ning. Without any witcher entering the scene, two logistics cleaners who were sweeping up the garbage eliminated a D-level contaminated area!

Li Nianchuan proudly said: "We cleaners don't need to be rescued by demon hunters."

Xu Meng: “?”

No, now is the time to be upset?

"Um..." Xu Meng asked carefully, "Are you mentally okay?"

This was the most reasonable guess. She suspected that Li Nianchuan was crazy.

Li Nianchuan said arrogantly, "If the organization sends another cleaning team, we might not be able to handle it."

Xu Meng: “?”

…

After Li Nianchuan hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief. His work clothes were soaked with sweat.

He felt a sense of exhaustion, like someone who had just survived a catastrophe, and sat down with a thud. Li Nianchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his mind relaxed. "I don't think I can make it."

His mental state was low, and he was mentally contaminated from the beginning. Now he was surrounded by contaminated spores, and the more he relaxed, the more seriously he became contaminated.

"Get away from me." Zhu Ning glanced at him and decided to stay away from him if he was contaminated.

"No!" Li Nianchuan clung to Zhu Ning. He had discovered that Zhu Ning was more reliable than the demon hunter. "I won't leave you."

Zhu Ning: “…”

Okay, starting to get crazy.

The demon hunters were about to arrive, and Zhu Ning wasn't too worried about Li Nianchuan's mental state. She didn't want to look at him, concentrating on collecting the spores. She didn't want to bother with Li Nianchuan, but she couldn't stand his own behavior.

Zhu Ning watched as Li Nianchuan suddenly raised his hands.

Zhu Ning was quick to slap his hand away. Li Nianchuan raised his arm again. Now that there was no danger, he was going to do something bold—take off his helmet!

"Hey?" Zhu Ning pressed down on Li Nianchuan's helmet, preventing him from taking it off. "What are you doing?"

"I can't breathe." said Li Nianchuan.

Taking off the helmet is very easy to get infected with parasites. Zhu Ning: "You are not allowed to take off the helmet. Do you hear me?"

Li Nianchuan murmured "oh" and lowered his hands in disappointment. Then, in front of Zhu Ning, Li Nianchuan slowly brought his knees back and hugged them at Zhu Ning's feet.

Like a puppy.

Is this moderate mental pollution? Zhu Ning thought of what Xu Meng said about a colleague who was polluted and thought he was a pink two-headed lotus. She was a little curious about what Li Nianchuan thought he was.

Zhu Ning asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

Li Nianchuan buried his head in his knees and said, "I am my sister's puppy."

Zhu Ning: “…”

Young man, have you exposed your unknown XP?

…

District 103 Cleaning Center.

If the chaos here was just like a securities center when Zhu Ning came here before, now it is basically as chaotic as if a war has just broken out.

Lu Qiqin, the head of the technical department, was furious. "Rating error! How could there be a rating error?"

"Do you know how much trouble this is?"

"There are no demon hunters inside, only two cleaners responsible for logistics. They have no weapons and no experience. How many lives do you think they can survive?"

"...I'm just sweeping the garbage..."

A Cleaner's life is worthless; ten Cleaners are worth less than one Demon Hunter. If a Demon Hunter arrives at the scene but can't get in to rescue, even sacrificing two Cleaners' lives is a good option. From a certain perspective, this statement is reasonable.

"Sweep away your ancestors!" Lu Qiqin sneered, "If the contaminated area can't be controlled and the contaminated spores spread, do you know how many people in Area 103 will die?"

"Do you want to do this or not? If not, get out of here!"

The technician in charge of monitoring kept his head down and didn't dare to utter a word.

"The witcher has arrived." Someone whispered.

"There's no point in rushing over!" Lu Qiqin cursed. "Fifteen minutes have already passed. The best time for rescue has already passed!"

Lu Qiqin casually threw a cup over. The flow of time in the contaminated area was different from that outside. Only fifteen minutes had passed outside, but several days might have passed inside.

"Um..." The technician raised his hand weakly, "The pollution concentration seems to have dropped."

The pollution concentration has gradually dropped from the initial peak of 90%.

88%, 80%, 71%...

Lu Qiqin frowned. He pushed the technician aside and walked to the machine himself, typing quickly on the keyboard. Yes, the value was really decreasing.

"Where is the demon hunter?" Lu Qiqin asked.

Fang Yingcai, who had been watching the game outside with his arms folded, interrupted: "We just set off. We're expected to arrive at the designated location in seventeen minutes."

The demon hunters hadn't arrived yet, but the contaminated area was already being cleansed.

"Report!" A subordinate said, "We've contacted Xu Meng, the leader of the three-man cleanup team. We've confirmed that all three are alive."

Lu Qiqin asked coldly, "Who's in there?"

Fang Ying held a panel in her hand, "Two cleaners."

Lu Qiqin took the panel, took a look at it, and then frowned fiercely.

The panel displayed the information of the two people. All the data of Li Nianchuan seemed mediocre, especially his mental value, which was too weak. He might suffer brain death if he stayed in a heavily polluted area for an hour.

None of his skills are outstanding, otherwise he would not have joined the cleaner team instead of the demon hunter team. The other person's information is even cleaner, with nothing at all.

I only know his name is Zhu Ning.

"Newcomer?" Lu Qiqin asked.

Only new employees in the probation period will not have any data collected.

Fang Ying: "Yes, I just completed the employment procedures for her today."

As a newcomer who had just been interviewed and was still in the probationary period, Zhu Ning had not had time to do any data collection. His task today should be to learn how to clean, then slack off, take today's meager salary, and wait for the cleaning center to make the next employment notification.

Instead, one person not only did the job of sweeping the garbage, but also did the job of a witcher!

This matter became very strange. The data detected by the cleaning center was very accurate. The last mistake in the past eighty years was caused by that person.

Zhu Ning had just arrived at work today when a data error occurred and he mistakenly entered a Class D contaminated area. With no weapons or knowledge, he not only survived but also decontaminated the area?

Fortunately, Lu Qiqin is not the leader of the demon hunters, otherwise his face would have been swollen by these two cleaners today.

Fang Ying: "To be honest, I'm also puzzled."

Fang Ying was just as shocked as Lu Qiqin when she received the news. She had personally handled Zhu Ning's employment procedures. Without any data, Fang Ying could only rely on her personal experience. After meeting him, she felt that Zhu Ning was very courageous.

Being bold is a good thing, it proves that you are suitable for this job.

But unexpectedly, a series of "accidents" would follow, and Zhu Ning happened to be the key point in all of them. The only reasonable explanation was that Zhu Ning was chosen by "it".

Fang Ying said, "Xuan Qing wants to see you."

Xuan Qing, the head of the Operations Department, managed the Demon Hunters in Area 103. The interactions between their departments were close, but also somewhat unrelated.

"There is also Xie Jiazu, the director of the cleaning department." Fang Ying said again.

These three people plus Fang Ying, who is the center assistant. Although it is an assistant position, she coordinates the entire center.

Lu Qiqin frowned, things were about to change at the cleaning center.
