Chapter 61

nLost Atlantis 32

nThe progress bar of the main task had five colours. The green represented the finished fifth and sixth princes while the almost full red and purple were the third and second princes. Now there was the small white and black colours.

nThe information bar panel was transparent so the white colour was also conspicuous and could be seen clearly.

nWhite was the fourth prince so black could only be the eldest prince.

nIt was easy to understand but why did the eldest prince’s progress suddenly rise by nearly half? 8% was equivalent to 50% love. Xie Xi didn’t do anything and didn’t even see the other person. How was it halfway to love already?

nXie Xi stared at the progress bar for a while and changed his train of thought. Perhaps the white bar was the eldest prince? The eldest prince might’ve been there when he cleaned up the rubbish and the progress went up first. Then the fourth prince came out and Xie Xi mistook it for the fourth prince?

nThen this sudden 8% rise in black was the fourth prince?

nEven if it was the fourth prince, this increase was inexplicable. Previously, he was indifferent and then it surged after applying the medicine?

nXie Xi couldn’t figure it out and he couldn’t understand their thoughts.

nUnfortunately, Roast Pork Bun couldn’t be too far away from him or he would have Roast Pork Bun go and investigate the eldest prince.

nXie Xi couldn’t think too much. The medicine also affected his head and he fell asleep after closing his eyes.

nIt was evening when he woke up. Xie Xi didn’t panic. He had already prepared and made it so Colin went home to visit for two days. He had been really afraid of the crazy second and third princes and hadn’t wanted to see them for a while.

nXie Xi was surprised to find that his injuries were all healed. There were still some traces on the tail and it was estimated that the scales recovered more slowly.

nThis medicine was amazing and Xie Xi felt that the technology on the seabed was much more powerful than land.

nHe had just left the room when he saw a mermaid waiting outside. “His Highness said that you can leave if you wake up. His Highness has something to do and can’t send you.”

nXie Xi hurriedly said, “I have been a bother to His Highness and don’t dare trouble him any longer.”

nThen Xie Xi left the fourth prince’s palace.

nHe was concerned about the black progress bar. He secretly went to the palace of the eldest prince and found that the diligent prince hadn’t come back and was working overtime.

nWas the black progress bar really his? Xie Xi waited for a while but the prince didn’t come back. He could only leave first.

nHis ‘leave’ time wasn’t long and he had to complete the side mission!

nYesterday, Xie Xi had collected 330,000 tons of garbage with the fourth prince’s help and the progress of the side task reached 33%. He thought this would be a difficult task to complete but unexpectedly it wasn’t that difficult. It could easily be completed with a little suffering of his flesh!

nXie Xi left to go find rubbish. He was just passing the original town when he remembered the little mermaid and wanted to see her…

nHe had just swam to the edge when he felt the tingling sensation again.

nXie Xi looked over and his heart sank.

nHe had disposed of the garbage yesterday and collected 10,000 tons. At this moment, the same place had once again become a sea of garbage.

nRoast Pork Bun wondered, “What’s going on? Daddy, are we in the wrong place?”

nThere was no mistake. This was the town.

nThe words of the fourth prince rang in his head. ‘The garbage can be cleaned up but as long as the land people are there, new rubbish will soon be born.’

nThus, this was the new rubbish.

nSo much garbage was made overnight?

nXie Xi’s head buzzed as he thought about the billions of people on land and their huge base. Even if someone only made a bit of garbage in one day, this would be terrified when multiplied by billions.

nJust getting rid of garbage would really make the land people worse.

nThey would continue to keep breaking through the bottom line.

nXie Xi collected the garbage here and went to a few places he had been to yesterday. He didn’t have the fourth prince so his speed was very slow. He was breathless when swimming but it was good that he remembered the road. Otherwise, there would be more trouble.

nXie Xi got the chills. The more he saw, the more he understood the mood of the fierce militant faction.

nThe garbage was cleared only to pop up again overnight.

nXie Xi could clear it up with one button. What could the underwater people use to clean it up?

nHe was just cleaning up the third pile of garbage when the fourth prince’s cold voice was heard behind him. “Didn’t I tell you to stop using this ability?”

nXie Xi turned and looked at the fourth prince. “Your Highness has cleared up the garbage before right?

nHow could Xie Xi not understand? The fourth prince said this because he must’ve experienced it a long time ago.

nHow could the royal family idly sit by and ignore the garbage hurting so many people?

nThey must’ve organized to clean up the garbage but as the fourth prince said, it was useless to clean up. Soon, new garbage would appear. On the contrary, the land people became more fearless because the garbage was cleaned up.

nThe fourth prince sneered, scorn in his eyes.

nXie Xi stated, “You have been sick because you used this medicine.”

nThe fourth prince wasn’t sick but he was really injured. Xie Xi was hurt despite getting rid of the garbage with one button. The fourth prince had to use ordinary methods to clean up the garbage and the damage must be greater. The medicine could treat the wounds but it had the side effect of fatigue. The fourth prince…

nXie Xi didn’t think about how much the seabed people paid in order to clean up the garbage, only for it to pile up again. How desperate would they feel?

nThe fourth prince had no expression on his face. “Thus, don’t do this useless work anymore.”

nXie Xi’s throat was tight and his mouth full of bitterness.

nThe fourth prince glanced at Xie Xi and whispered, “There is a flaw in your ability.”

nXie Xi couldn’t react. He didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

nThe fourth prince’s lips curved, smiling in a fierce and paranoid manner. “The land people are the biggest garbage. Why not let them all disappear!”

nXie Xi was violently shocked and sweat dripped down his back.

n“Let’s go.” The fourth prince took Xie Xi’s hand. “I will send you back. Don’t use this ability anymore. It can’t help anyone and will bring you trouble.”

nXie Xi heard these words and his chest heated up as he held onto the fourth prince’s hands. “Your Highness, can you take me to the land?”

nThe fourth prince was slightly startled.

nXie Xi told him, “I have never been to the land. Can you take me to see it?”

nThe fourth prince raised an eyebrow. “What are you going to do?”

n“I have my own way of paying them back.”

nThe fourth prince’s pupils shrank.

nHe didn’t ask again. He just held Xie Xi’s hand and stated, “The shore is very hot. If you can’t bear it, stay close to me.”

nThen he rushed off at a very fast speed, taking Xie Xi up to the sea.

nXie Xi knew what it was like on the shore but he wouldn’t stay on the shore for long. It was just a temporary thing.

nAfter a while, they left the see. Thanks to the hot air, his whole chest was hot. He sent Roast Pork Bun a look.

nRoast Pork Bun didn’t know what Roast Pork Bun was planning but he understood this look was to have him search around.

nRoast Pork Bun flew up and watched for a while. Then he came back and reported, “There is no one on the beach!”

nXie Xi blinked and Roast Pork Bun hung onto his collar again.

nThe fourth prince asked him, “What are you going to do?”

nXie Xi explained, “In fact, I lied to Your Highness before. My ability isn’t to eliminate garbage but to collect it.”

nThe fourth prince frowned. “Collect? What do you mean?”

nXie Xi opened the items bar, looked at the 550,000 tons of rubbish and spoke lightly, “It’s like this…” Then he poured the rubbish back onto the land.

nThis scene was amazing. Countless rubbish poured out of Pandora’s Box, madly pilling up on the beach and along the entire coast.

nThis garbage piled up and became a shocking garbage mountain!

nThe fourth prince looked stunned and couldn’t recover his spirit for a while.

nXie Xi glanced at his side task progress bar. Sure enough, he took out the garbage and the progress fell from 55% to 0%.

nHis work yesterday and today were in vain but he felt no regrets.

nXie Xi suggested, “It is useless to clean up the garbage. Then shouldn’t we give them back the garbage they discarded?”

nPampering would only give birth to greater evil. Appropriate punishment was to let them see what they had done!

nA flame of hope was ignored in the fourth prince’s grey eyes that still seemed like a tomb. “You…”

nHis voice trembled and he couldn’t speak.

nXie Xi whispered, “I understand Your Highness’ mind. You hate the land people and want to kill them but war is the worst way to solve the problem. In the end, both sides will lose. You love your people and don’t want them to jump from one fire pit to another fire pit.”

nThe fourth prince was shocked and his thin lips became a straight line.

nXie Xi looked up at him. “Can I help you? We will return the garbage and use it to drive public opinion on land. They will think they have angered the gods and spontaneously think about their own behaviour.”

nThis was the best solution that Xie Xi could think of.

nWar wasn’t going to solve the problem.

nIt would intensify the contradiction between the people of the land and the sea and cause both sides to fall into a disaster.

nThe underwater people must’ve thought of this method but they couldn’t do it like Xie Xi. He easily collected garbage and easily returned ti.

nThis type of instantaneous behaviour was the most incomprehensible and inspiring thing.

nThe fourth prince’s spirit finally returned. His brow furrowed as he whispered, “This is… just a cure for the symptoms and not the root cause.”

nHe said this but the white progress bar on Xie Xi’s side rose to 13% in one breath.

nXie Xi smiled.

nThe fourth prince couldn’t look away. “Let’s go, your skin will be hurt soon.” The air on the shore was really deadly to merpeople and Xie Xi was indeed uncomfortable.

nThe fourth prince held Xie Xi’s hand and took him back to the sea.

nXie Xi was comfortably wrapped in the sea when he heard the fourth prince’s voice, “You aren’t allowed to collect garbage alone.”

nXie Xi looked up at him.

n“This is our secret. Don’t tell anyone, do you understand?”

nXie Xi smiled. “Is Your Highness protecting me?”

nThe fourth prince trembled, “You don’t know the land people. If you let them know your ability, you will be imprisoned for life.”

nXie Xi was a land person and definitely knew them.

nHe found that this prince fish was very cute and said, “Yes, I’ll listen to Your Highness.”

nThe white progress bar whizzed to 16%.

nXie Xi found it funny but didn’t dare to laugh. Wasn’t this person too pure? Or was the big designer actually pure?

nUm…

nXie Xi retracted this idea and refused to believe it. X was an extreme pervert, there was no mistake!
