Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 234 - 233 Positive Energy Zhou Bai (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
So, over the next few nights, Zhou Bai once again pillaged several processing plants, reaping a rich harvest.
After all, as long as there are people, there will be excrement, and the three-dimensional structure of Donghua City is vast, equivalent to ten former first-tier cities, accommodating a population of 300 million. The amount of excrement produced every day is about several hundred thousand tons.
Zhou Bai, of course, couldn’t sell that much, but one could understand just by visiting any processing plant how abundant the sources were. They were simply inexhaustible.
Yet, as he set out once again that evening, he discovered Ying Hui standing under a streetlamp. After a glance at him, Ying Hui beckoned him over.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, ’Has he found out? Well, it’s about time to find out. Let’s have it out today.’
When Zhou Bai reached Ying Hui, he heard him say, "Zhou Bai, walk with me, will you?"
As they walked, Ying Hui thought to himself, ’Zhou Bai...sigh...With such rapid progress in cultivation, plus the burden of the Twilight Taoist Skill, is this kid going mad?’
Even though Zhou Bai was very skilled and quick, stealing on such a large scale in Donghua City would inevitably lead to being caught red-handed eventually.
It was only because he was a student at Donghua Dao School, and the most valued prodigy at that, that they didn’t directly arrest him, but instead informed the school.
Today, Ying Hui had been called by Zhao Shouyi, and after learning about Zhou Bai’s nightly excursions to steal excrement, he felt somewhat shattered inside.
The Heavenly Dao twisted, the Primordial Spirit polluted, the path of cultivation became increasingly dangerous, likely to become mad, twisted, and ultimately malformed.
But a student going out at night to steal excrement was truly a first for him.
At that moment, fearful of agitating Zhou Bai’s condition, Ying Hui cautiously said, "Zhou Bai, how have you been lately?"
Zhou Bai: "Teacher, you’re here about my recent nightly activities, aren’t you?"
Ying Hui’s gaze faltered slightly, not expecting Zhou Bai to be so straightforward. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why are you doing these things? You can speak up about any difficulties, we will help you."
Zhou Bai: "Donghua City is already under tremendous strain, with 300 million people’s eating and excreting, causing a massive amount of excrement every day. And the treatment of this excrement requires a considerable amount of manpower and resources.
If it’s not dealt with promptly, it could lead to the piling up of excrement, creating various pollution and sanitation issues."
"Huh?" Ying Hui thought of various possibilities but never expected Zhou Bai to say such things.
Zhou Bai continued, "So I thought, as far as I could within my power, I would use my strength to purify some of the excrement."
"Now in Donghua City, the main methods are fermentation or high-temperature treatment. These past few nights, I covertly tried, using Taoist skills for high-temperature treatment of these contaminants, burning them away utterly with the Fire Spreading Sword Skill, and taking it as a chance to cultivate as well."
"Of course, rest assured, I’ve made all the preparations for the process, isolating it with the power of the Primordial Spirit, so there is no danger of explosions or the like. It’s just like the usual manual incineration methods for excrement treatment."
"Moreover, I’ve also looked into the excrement situation in Donghua City. Because now the agriculture department uses its own synthetic fertilizers, most of this excrement has no use. Donghua City produces several hundred thousand tons of excrement every day, requiring a massive amount of manpower and resources to deal with..."
Ying Hui had never imagined that Zhou Bai’s motives would be so... positive. From stealing to burning excrement.
He was taken aback and said, "It’s good that you have this idea."
Exercising Daoist skills to cleanse trash and filth with the destructive forces of Taoism was indeed an efficient method.
However, the pressure on humanity nowadays is immense, with the Heavenly Demon watching closely, and practically every cultivator is making the most of every minute to cultivate.
The idea of a powerful being using Daoist magic to deal with garbage was simply unheard of.
So Ying Hui had never even considered that Zhou Bai would suggest such a thing.
Zhou Bai: "Teacher, if you support me, that would be great. Could you help me arrange something? I hope to use Daoist magic everyday to process waste, cultivating and contributing to the city of Donghua at the same time."
After some thought, Ying Hui did not outright reject the idea, but rather said cautiously: "Zhou Bai, it’s commendable that you want to contribute to the city of Donghua, but with your talent, you should focus on improving your cultivation, which would allow you to make greater contributions to humanity. I’m worried that you might get distracted by other things and neglect your cultivation."
Zhou Bai replied: "Teacher, I’m already at the second realm."
"What?" Ying Hui exclaimed, pleasantly surprised. "When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me about it? Have you chosen your second realm’s divine diagram yet?"
What Zhou Bai referred to was Christina entering the second realm.
Zhou Bai smiled and said: "It happened a few days ago. I haven’t chosen yet. I just wanted to tell you that these matters won’t delay my cultivation. On the contrary, doing these things, I feel more at ease, more mentally relaxed, and the effect on my practice is even better."
The distortion of Heavenly Dao and the calamity of the Heavenly Demon always placed a great mental strain on cultivators, so they each had their different methods of relief.
If Zhou Bai felt mental pressure, even to the point of psychological issues, and needed to burn shit to relax, then Ying Hui could understand that.
Ying Hui thought, ’On second thought, compared to binge eating, chasing after contribution points, exploding clothes and shoes, and gender disorders... burning shit isn’t so bad.’
Moreover, Zhou Bai had now reached the 10th level of the Twilight Taoist Skill and was the treasure of Dao School, so his wishes were naturally very important.
Therefore, Ying Hui pondered for a moment and said: "Alright, don’t go by yourself at night anymore. I’ll arrange a place for you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai felt a slight surge of joy. With this arrangement, he could not only sell shit legitimately but, with the support of Dao School and the large quantity, which was neither stolen nor seized, his efficiency would surely be extremely high, allowing him to acquire a substantial amount of laziness value every day.
And with laziness value, the constellations and the Twilight Taoist Skill wouldn’t be an issue. Zhou Bai felt his strength increasing at a high speed, getting faster and faster.
...
That very night, 10 meters underground in Donghua City, the city’s sewage treatment center.
Ying Hui, with his Primordial Spirit power sealed, stood inside the treatment facility watching Zhou Bai’s spot.
Zhou Bai looked at Ying Hui and asked, "Teacher, is all of this mine? Can I burn it as I wish?"
Standing aside, Ying Hui didn’t want to speak but nodded, while vibrating his Primordial Spirit power: "It’s all yours, burn it as you like. Just be careful not to cause an explosion."
Then they saw Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit power fluctuating, and masses of filth rose to the sky, forming a spherical shape.
This was a sphere sealed by Primordial Spirit power. Next, Zhou Bai was seen thrusting his sword into the sphere, and with a spark of fire, the sphere turned into a giant fireball. The fire was tightly contained within by the Primordial Spirit power. After intense burning, everything turned to ashes.
As the Primordial Spirit power dispersed, smoke shot up, flowing out through the pipes.
Zhou Bai watched as the fire ignited, and he had already sold most of the filth, earning 1 point of laziness value.
The laziness value was small, but looking at the source in the pool, Zhou Bai exclaimed: "Indeed, it’s not worth much laziness value, but there is so much of it. The filth of the entire city, even just selling a little bit of it, reaps endless benefits."
Christina screamed in Zhou Bai’s mind: "My Shadow Bearing! What are you doing burning shit with it!! Ah!! It’s all getting stained yellow!!"
