Chapter 284 The Amazing Green Algae



Because everyone suddenly said their health value had increased, Li Lechen quickly checked it as well, and sure enough, his health value had also increased from 67 to 70.

What's going on?

Could it be that the data center responsible for calculating health values ​​has malfunctioned? Is this something that concerns everyone's lives, and they're treating it so lightly? I'm not too bothered by the wild fluctuations myself, but just looking at the comments in the live stream, I can tell how frantic those people will be in the future.

Of course, a strange rise in health is always more exciting than a strange fall. So, after confirming that they didn't need to worry about their lives for the time being, everyone continued to follow Li Lechen's live stream.

[What did the host just say he was going to do?]

Are you taking us to see the reservoir again?

[I didn't get enough last time, and then the streamer opened a portal, what a pity]

[Didn't you just say that a certain type of water would be discounted? 100 coins per bottle?]

[Isn't Class 1 water only available through a free lottery now? Where is it sold now?]

[Am I just imagining things? Why do I remember seeing someone say that a certain type of water costs 100 coins?]

The person upstairs needs a brain transplant.

I heard the hospital is having a big promotion: get one organ free for every two organ transplants, it's a great deal!

[Really? Then I need to get both my kidneys replaced right away, I've been having frequent urination and incomplete emptying of my bladder lately.]

[Two kidneys transplanted, plus a free dick—the guy upstairs really has a good plan.]

As viewers flooded the chat with comments, Li Lechen and a group of volunteers arrived at the Jinshan River. As an urban river, it was once the source of almost all domestic water. Of course, sewage was also discharged into the river.

Li Lechen still remembers that there was a small pond next to his maternal grandmother's house, which was fed by water from the Jinshan River. His grandmother used to wash clothes in that pond. At first, the water quality was fine, but later, even clothes couldn't fit in it anymore.

Several river cleaning operations were carried out later, and even the bottom of the riverbed in some sections was hardened. However, the river water is still relatively turbid. Although it is not black or smelly, it is far from meeting the standards for drinking water. At most, it can only reach the Class V water standard.

In order to comply with the superior's requirements for "Five Waters Co-Governance", the mayor of Lingcheng made a pledge before the new year that he would personally jump into the Jinshan River and swim around the entire old city of Lingcheng by the end of this year.

This pledge meant that the water quality of the Jinshan River had to be improved from Class V to at least Class II within the next six months. Otherwise, the mayor wouldn't be able to jump in and swim.

Although Li Lechen felt that even if the water quality was good, the mayor probably wouldn't be able to swim in the dead of winter at the end of the year, the work still had to be done regardless of whether the mayor would ultimately jump in for a swim.

Because of the large workload and high difficulty, the entire population has mobilized to manage the Jinshan River. Students, as free labor, are also a major force.

At this moment, the physical education teacher leading the team began to call out: "Everyone, divide into three groups. The first group will use tongs to pick up the trash along the riverbank; the second group will use nets to scoop up the algae floating on the river surface."

After saying that, the PE teacher carried the largest net and began to scoop out the floating algae.

Wait a minute! What happened to the three groups? Why were only two groups assigned tasks? Does that mean the third group is just supposed to stand on the shore and watch?

Li Lechen suddenly didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, this group of people had come with the PE teacher to clean the river more than once. They knew the PE teacher's language skills very well, so they didn't need to connect the context; they just needed to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Soon everyone was busy using tongs to pick up trash or nets to scoop up floating algae.

Li Lechen, of course, wouldn't be idle either. Rather than picking up trash, he preferred scooping up floating algae, feeling that this job required a bit more skill and was more rewarding to do. One netful, and an entire area of ​​water would be clean.

The live stream is quite lively right now.

[Does the streamer sell all this green algae she scoops up?]

[They're definitely going to sell them, right? Otherwise, why would they fish them out?]

[Who knew the river in the exclusive zone was full of treasures?]

Algae release too little oxygen, making them not cost-effective.

That's because of individual algae. If they were in clusters like the streamer, they would definitely release more oxygen than ordinary plants.

[And it should be easier to grow. The green algae I bought from the mall last time I just put it in the circulating water and left it alone, and it actually multiplied on its own.]

Is the person upstairs serious? Can circulating water grow algae?

Anyway, I used recirculating water to keep them, and one turned into eight.

[Damn! I'm going to buy some algae too, it's only 100 coins each, I can just throw it away if I have to.]

[Envious of those who can just throw away 100 coins like that]

How many algae do you think the streamer caught in that net?

With hundreds of millions of records and unstable data, smart assistants are starting to panic.

[Is this algae for sale, streamer?]

Li Lechen was indeed working diligently at the moment; after all, he couldn't just sit idly by now that he was there. But he didn't expect that simply scooping up some algae would cause such a stir.

Can these floating algae be sold?

If we can sell it, we'll save the trouble of shipping it later. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

So they quickly called out the mall's sales assistant and put the freshly caught algae on the shelves at a minimum price of one coin per algae.

Compared to the 100 coins each of green algae in the store, 1 coin is practically free, especially since there are large quantities available and no purchase limit, leading to an immediate frenzy. Most people buy hundreds at a time, since green algae only produces oxygen in large quantities, otherwise it's pointless.

This is why, although green algae is sold in the mall at a low price, it is almost ignored. As for whether green algae can survive in circulating water or even reproduce on its own, even the sales staff and after-sales service personnel cannot say for sure.

Many people would feel bad about throwing away 100 coins, but now that it's just one coin, no one really feels bad about it.

If green algae can indeed reproduce in circulating water, one becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and soon they can multiply into a large area. At that time, the oxygen released by a large area of ​​green algae will definitely not be less than that of a single plant.

In the blink of an eye, all 300 million+ green algae on the shelves were sold out.

However, in just a minute or two, Li Lechen scooped another net full of green algae from the water.

If it weren't for the fear of being accused of slacking off and not catching the algae, Li Lechen felt he could become rich very quickly, much faster than opening a portal. And, importantly, it would be safe.

As for whether the circulating water could grow algae, Li Lechen didn't care at all.

Compared to the freshmen, Li Lechen was at least two years older and worked much faster. He quickly cleared the area around him and then went to help on the other side with his net bag.

"Senior, could you do me a favor?"

A girl called out to Li Lechen, who was about to change venues, and pointed to a large water bucket in front of her.
