58 Days of Scavenging
Today's classes will begin in the afternoon.
The little robot set off from the mansion early in the morning, carrying the newly made trash cans to other streets.
He has planned out several new trash can drop-off points, and now it's time to put them in place.
During the process of placing and replacing trash cans, the little robot did encounter curious humans who tried to talk to it. However, since it did not charge anyone for doing this, and because it regularly cleaned up the trash and prevented littering on the roadside, making the environment look better, these humans, despite their curiosity, did not refuse.
Occasionally, one or two petty humans would sarcastically remark that the little robot's proactive garbage collection might be because it wanted to find something valuable among the discarded items.
The little robot wasn't angry at all.
Instead, they patiently told these people that if they wanted, they could pick up anything still usable and valuable before throwing away the trash.
Not only can they pick up what they themselves throw away, but the little robot will also not stop them from picking up what others have thrown away.
Forget about stopping it; if there were more humans like that, the little robot would be even happier.
This indicates that humans are becoming more conscious of resource utilization.
The little robot just didn't understand why, when it sincerely told the other person these words, the human always looked angry and then turned around and left.
Hmm... I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Maybe these humans just like to get angry.
However, people who are easily angered are always a minority; most people support the little robot's behavior.
Near the street where he had placed the trash cans, people became more conscious of how they disposed of their trash.
Each time he went to replace the teleportation scroll, he wouldn't see much trash outside the trash can anymore. Just the occasional scrap of paper or short piece of rope, which he would pick up casually.
In one morning, the little robot placed all the trash cans on two streets.
He doesn't need to go back for lunch, which is something only humans need to do. Since no one is watching, he doesn't need to pretend.
Just in time, the little robot arrived ahead of schedule on the street near the university.
The scroll in this trash can needs to be replaced.
I went to class right after changing my clothes.
Replacing the conveyor scroll isn't difficult; just lift the panel at the bottom of the trash can that only he can open, and replace the scroll inside.
Even expired scrolls aren't thrown away; the little robot tidies them up and puts them into its shoulder bag.
As long as the course is not Chinese, he hardly needs to concentrate on listening in class.
Therefore, he was used to using this time to deal with these failed scrolls.
Simply redraw the magic runes and infuse them with magic; as long as the scroll is not worn or damaged, its effectiveness will be restored.
all the best.
As usual, the little robot entered the classroom twenty minutes before class and sat in its seat.
However, before he could take out the scroll to paint, a section of the light in front of him was blocked.
The little robot looked up.
It is two humans standing in front of their desks.
The little robot recognized the two people's faces. The male human was named Ning Ruo, and the female human was named Zhang Lanyue. The latter was the class monitor, while the former was quite popular in the class and was often seen with friends, making it a lively place.
However, none of this has anything to do with the little robot.
He glanced at the two humans, then lowered his head, opened the scroll, took the fountain pen Ren Wenhan had given him, drew ink, and was about to begin drawing magical runes.
As for the issue of the light being blocked, sorry, he's a robot, and even a dark environment doesn't affect his eyesight, let alone just a little bit of light being blocked.
However, his appearance left Ning Ruo and Zhang Lanyue, who were standing in front of him, looking at each other in bewilderment.
What? How could someone not even ask after doing this? This personality is just too difficult to deal with!
Finally, remembering their purpose, the two exchanged a glance, cleared their throats, and Ning Ruo took the initiative to speak: "Hello, Ji. May I bother you for a moment?"
The little robot looked up in confusion.
He knew that "Naji" was referring to him.
But I don't have any interaction with these two humans, do I?
"Hello Ning Ruo, what's up?"
The little robot mimicked how people greeted each other on campus.
Although his tone was flat and indifferent, without even a hint of doubt in his question, Ning Ruo, who was standing opposite him, couldn't help but get excited.
It was accompanied by a feeling of being flattered.
Look! That Ji is calling himself Ning Ruo now!
He knows his own name!
Ning Ruoke knew that she hadn't found a suitable opportunity to talk to this classmate Naji, so she didn't have the chance to introduce her name to him.
Even so, Naji still remembered his name!
So, he's not as aloof and indifferent as the rumors suggest, right? Otherwise, how could he remember his own name?
That guy is so good-looking, even the way he pronounces my name sounds better.
In short, Ning Ruoxin was overjoyed.
The tone of voice speaking to the little robot became even more intimate: "It's like this, Naji, we are fortunate to be students of the same university and in the same classroom, so naturally we should help each other. Here is a small token of our appreciation from your classmates. We don't know if it can help you in any way, but if you encounter any difficulties, please tell us, and we will do our best to help you."
After saying that, Ning Ruo took out a box and pushed it in front of the little robot.
Little robot: "...?"
He was a little confused.
Did I miss some important plot point?
Upon opening the box, one finds a lot of money scattered around inside.
There were banknotes, silver dollars, some silver ornaments, and even some gold ornaments.
Everything can be exchanged for money.
Is this... a donation??
The little robot retrieved the word from its database, becoming increasingly confused.
Thinking of Ning Ruo's words, the little robot looked around at the other students in the classroom.
Only then did they realize that all these humans were subtly paying attention to this side.
The little robot looked at the box, then at Ning Ruo.
He then closed the box and pushed it back, saying, "Thank you, but I don't need these."
If it were a box of supplies or trash, he might have accepted it.
But currency is not within his scope of collection, since no human would refuse currency.
And it's quite obvious that these humans are giving themselves money because they've misunderstood something.
Seeing that the little robot refused to accept it, Ning Ruo looked disapproving and sincerely advised him: "Student Naji, there is nothing shameful about encountering difficulties. Everyone here has encountered difficulties. It is not our fault that we are poor, but the fault of those ambitious people who start wars in this society."
"Just accept it. With this money, you won't have to work so hard and will have more time to focus on your studies. Once you've completed your studies, I'm sure you'll be able to bring much more to everyone than this paltry amount of gold and silver."
Other classmates who had been watching couldn't help but chime in: "Yeah, yeah, at worst, Ji can just write down the list and return it to us later."
Zhang Lanyue nodded in agreement: "Yes, Naji. This time, it wasn't just our classmates who lent a helping hand; other students from the school also contacted me, wanting to offer you some assistance within their capabilities. We've also discussed this with the teachers, so everyone is aware of the situation. You can accept the donation with peace of mind."
really.
Humans have misunderstood.
The little robot reiterated in front of these humans, "Thank you, but I really don't need these. I'm not poor."
So how did these humans come to the conclusion that they are poor?
It seems that humans in the past also thought this way?
Seeing this, one hot-tempered student couldn't help but bluntly say, "Then why do you always go and pick up trash! What's shameful about being poor? Your own abilities are more important!"
Little robot: "..."
I see.
He finally understood why humans had misunderstood.
So, picking up trash means being poor.
But I'm just a garbage can robot.
Of course, the little robot can't explain this to humans so directly.
The time spent in school has been useful; at least the little robot knows that the humans around it always talk about "ideals."
So, after thinking for a moment, he explained to everyone, "Picking up trash is just a hobby of mine. I have a dream..."
After localizing the concept of his trash can research and manufacturing company, he explained it in detail to people all over the world.
The environmental pollution consequences of waste, the waste of resources, the benefits of proper waste recycling, and so on.
After saying that, he remembered a line from the company's slogan and said it as well: "...We are all making the world a better place in our own way."
After saying that, the little robot looked at the humans in front of it with satisfaction, who no longer claimed to be poor.
Hmm, it seems my learning ability is improving.
See how well this is used?
The little robot, which had already explained everything very clearly, pushed the box toward Ning Ruo and prepared to continue drawing the scroll.
Then we heard a round of applause coming from the classroom door.
"Good! Well said!"
Mr. Sun Wenbo, the teacher of this class, walked in with a look of admiration on his face. I don't know when he arrived, but it seems that he had heard the whole thing about the little robot "talking about ideals".
Mr. Sun Wenbo highly praised the ideal of the little robot, and even said that he would apply to the school to gather like-minded people to learn from the little robot and expand the team of garbage recycling.
Sure enough, Sun Wenbo kept his word, and the little robot was surrounded by classmates who were also willing to rummage through the trash cans with him the very next day.
