In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 12 Has Su Yuan's condition become this serious? (Please continue reading!!!)
The ancient method of corpse refining is such an unlucky thing; it's better not to have it at all.

Su Yuan immediately lost interest in completing this favorability task.

But this task can't be canceled or abandoned, so we can only leave it there and let nature take its course.

While Su Yuan was troubled by his new task, martial arts teacher Li Ziquan and physical education teacher Zhuge Tie finally finished arguing.

"Su Yuan, let's not argue with a brute like Teacher Zhuge. Teacher will take you to eat."

Li Ziquan pushed Zhuge Tie aside, gently took Su Yuan's hand, and led him into the cafeteria.

Zhuge Tie snorted coldly and said:

"Su Yuan, your physical fitness is too mediocre. Physical fitness is the foundation of all athletic achievements. You'll have to drink all of the black horn beef bone soup I had at noon."

As he spoke, he stepped into the cafeteria.

Upon hearing the two teachers' words, Su Yuan suddenly understood.

When Teacher Zhuge stopped me just now, he probably already knew what to do if I couldn't get in line at the cafeteria.

That means taking yourself to the teachers' special passage to get food.

Even if I actually went to the track and ran ten laps, I probably wouldn't go hungry.

intimate!

I've heard that the teachers' meals contain many highly nutritious ingredients that are not found in the students' meals, so I'm quite lucky.

Su Yuan thought to himself with a smug satisfaction, "What a blessing in disguise!"

Upon entering the cafeteria, one is greeted by a bustling crowd. Every food serving window is packed with people, and most of the tables are occupied.

Su Yuan quickly found his eldest son, who was still in line for food.

what!
Su Yuan smiled smugly and followed the two teachers briskly toward the teachers' passageway.

Just then, a student walked past Su Yuan carrying half-eaten food and poured it into a slop bucket not far away.

Seeing this, Su Yuan, who always cherished food, couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This student's behavior was not an isolated case; the slop bucket was already piled high with leftover food.

Looking at the half-eaten spirit fruit in the bucket, the half-eaten steamed bun soaking in swill, and the bones with a lot of meat left, a strange thought suddenly surged into Su Yuan's mind.

Are these discarded food items considered sect resources?
With this thought in mind, Su Yuan quickly walked to the slop bucket, grabbed the edge of the bucket, and kept silently reciting that he wanted to take it for himself.

However, nothing happened.

Tsk, it seems it's been classified as a discarded resource of the sect, so there's no way to exploit this loophole.

Just as Su Yuan was feeling somewhat disappointed, a slightly hesitant voice sounded from behind him:

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Su Yuan turned his head and saw a student who was about to throw away the leftover food. There was a whole egg yolk left on his plate, which looked quite tempting.

This shouldn't be classified as waste resource at all.

A thought suddenly flashed through Su Yuan's mind, and he asked sincerely:

"Excuse me, I need some leftovers to feed my dog. Could you give me these leftovers to dispose of? Of course, I'll wash the plate too."

"Uh, okay."

Seeing that Su Yuan's words were very sincere, the classmate had no choice but to nod and hand the plate to Su Yuan.

The next second, a "ding-dong" sound rang in Su Yuan's mind.

[Mission Two: Secret Infiltration (In Progress)]

[Mission Progress: Resources Looted (1/100)]

"Oh ho, I guessed right after all?"

Su Yuan was overjoyed.

Although the progress of the task has only increased slightly, there are five or six hundred students in the cafeteria!

Even if only one-fifth of the food is leftover, I can still complete my task in one fell swoop!

With this thought in mind, Su Yuan dared not miss the opportunity. He hurriedly asked the cleaning lady in the cafeteria for a bunch of clean garbage bags, then brought over a few garbage cans and put the garbage bags on them one by one.

"Su Yuan, what are you doing?"

Zhuge Tie, who had already entered the teachers' corridor, frowned and asked, "Teachers, I'm sorry, I can't have lunch with you. I have more important things to do now."

After Su Yuan finished speaking, he stood in front of the swill bin with the trash cans, waiting with a solemn expression.

Teachers Li Ziquan and Zhuge Tie were stunned by this scene.

They watched as Su Yuan took the plates from one student after another who was about to throw away their leftovers, and then sorted the food on the plates into categories, just like... an old man packing up leftovers at a rural banquet.

"Hey, classmate, here, here. Just give me your plate, I'll wash it."

"No trouble at all, thank you for your support."

A strange look appeared on Zhuge Tie's cold and hard face as he stared at the several trash cans that were gradually filling up, and he couldn't help but say something.

"I just heard this kid say he's going to take all this leftovers back to feed his dog? What dog can eat that much in one meal? Is it a Foundation Establishment stage dog demon?"

Just as the two were puzzled, a figure walked in through the cafeteria entrance. It was Yue Lin, the homeroom teacher of Class 2, Grade 12.

The two teachers exchanged a glance and went to greet them.

"Teacher Yue, you are Su Yuan's homeroom teacher, right? Do you have any clues about his current behavior?"

Li Ziquan pointed at Su Yuan and asked Yue Lin.

Yue Lin was taken aback, glancing at Su Yuan who was standing guard beside the swill bucket. A storm raged within him, and he instinctively said:

"Has this kid's condition worsened so quickly?"

"what?!"

He was only slightly mentally unstable in the morning, but by noon he had become addicted to picking up trash, which seems to be a typical symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If we go any further, will we completely go astray?

Thinking of all the brilliant students he had encountered in his teaching career who went astray and became obsessed, Yue Lin couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Is another young prodigy about to fall from grace...? Wait, Su Yuan seems to be only of average talent, not exactly a prodigy.

That's fine.

After his thoughts were slightly interrupted, Yue Lin carefully observed Su Yuan's mental state again, and coughed lightly, saying:

"It's also possible that Su Yuan's family is not well-off, so he collects these leftovers to fill his stomach."

Li Ziquan, Zhuge Tie: "..."

That's even more pitiful and heartbreaking, isn't it?!
Zhuge Tie hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively:

"Just now, Teacher Li and I invited Su Yuan to dinner, but he refused. He doesn't seem to be from a poor family and unable to afford a meal."

Li Ziquan said quietly:

"Teacher Yue, you're always so pessimistic. Can't you think about things in a more positive light?"

Hearing this, Yue Lin also wavered somewhat, and analyzed:

"If we set aside the factors of illness and family circumstances, then there is probably only one reason why Su Yuan did this."

"That means he cherishes food and can't bear to see so much food being thrown away. He plans to use the food to feed cats, dogs, tigers, crocodiles, and other small pets."

Li Ziquan, Zhuge Tie: "..."

Well, we've come full circle again.

After a moment of silence, Zhuge Tie said:
"It's not that Su Yuan collects leftovers, but I only realized today that the students are throwing away too much food at each meal. It seems that the students these days are living too well."

Yue Lin shook his head and said:

"That being said, a considerable number of students in the school already prefer to eat takeout rather than come to the cafeteria. If we impose stricter requirements, the number of students coming to the cafeteria will probably decrease by more than half."

He looked at Su Yuan and sighed:
"There aren't many young people as frugal as Su Yuan anymore."

Just then, a "ding-dong" sound suddenly rang in Su Yuan's mind.

[Note: Another unknown sect elder has increased your favorability towards you!]

Su Yuan: "???"
