Chapter 33 Seventh-Order Pollution Sources

Pearl River.

Although this polluted river is notorious for its stench, its name is actually quite elegant.

at this time.

It was early morning, and the sun was shining brightly.

However, the banks of the Pearl River, which stretches for hundreds of meters, were already filled with people.

Most of them are students from Jiangcheng University, mostly freshmen, and also members of the student union.

but……

Besides students, there were also many middle-aged men and women wearing glasses and with refined appearances.

Even though they were dressed in casual sportswear, they still exuded an air of 'intellectualism'.

"The professors are here too?"

Tang Yunxuan was stunned when he saw what they looked like.

He saw his class advisor, who was now standing at the back of the crowd like a lackey, casting his gaze in his and Yu Jin's direction.

Besides the teachers and students of Jiangda University, what shocked Tang Yunxuan even more were the 'outsiders' on the outskirts of the river.

Hundreds of uniformed officers, wearing hats, stood solemnly with upright postures.

Reporters and media personnel, carrying long lenses and flashing spotlights, all had a gleam in their eyes when they saw Yu Jin and his group arrive.

If the president and top leader of Jiangnan University hadn't been still standing there, they probably would have already rushed up to the environmental protection team and launched a media-style 'bombardment' at Yu Jin, the organizer of this event!

"..."

Yu Jin also fell silent for a moment.

He wanted to expand the scale of this event so that the system rewards would be more generous.

But I didn't expect it to be this big...

"Senior?"

Yu Jin turned his head to look at Yin Yao, guessing that it was this senior student who had made her move again.

But to Yu Jin's surprise, Yin Yao shook her head seriously the next moment.

“It wasn’t me,” she said, then added after a moment of silence, “It must have been my uncle’s idea.”

The "little uncle" that Yin Yao mentioned is Jiang Haochuan, the president of Jiang University.

Yin Yao did not attend the wasteland survival lecture last night, but she heard afterwards that Jiang Haochuan publicly named Yu Jin and even endorsed him.

Yin Yao was not surprised; on the contrary, she found it reasonable.

After being reborn, she told her parents and grandfather about the arrival of the wasteland.

As my mother's younger brother, my uncle knew quite a few secrets.

For example--

He knew how invincible and powerful Ember was in the wasteland in Yin Yao's memories of her previous life.

That's why.

That led to the subsequent series of actions.

On Blue Star, Jiang Haochuan is the president of Jiang University, holding an extremely high status.

But what if I really did get transported to the wasteland...?

He was just a lowly migrant worker, and not to mention his status, even survival was extremely difficult for him.

just.

Even though Yin Yao was mentally prepared, she still didn't expect Jiang Haochuan to go to such lengths. Not only did he come in person, but he even used his connections to get the top official of Jiangcheng to show his support...

"You don't like it?"

Yin Yao snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Yu Jin.

Her tone was calm, as if she could send these thousands of people back to where they came from with just a nod from Yu Jin.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just... a bit unexpected."

Yu Jin understood what Yin Yao meant, and he did not doubt Yin Yao's abilities.

The sheer scale of the scene before me was indeed beyond my expectations.

But Yu Jin wasn't a sentimental person.

Since we're already here, there's no need to make a fuss.

Not to mention.

The more people participate and the larger the event, the richer the system rewards you can obtain.

It's nothing more than having to observe social etiquette and say some polite things in front of the camera.

……

……

It turns out.

Ember's guess was correct.

After speaking with the principal, vice-principal, and top leader, and then giving a media interview that lasted more than ten minutes, Yu Jin finally had the opportunity to lead the club members to both sides of the Pearl River to begin a proper garbage disposal activity.

The event process is not complicated.

The environmental protection society's 100 members were divided into two teams—

One team was responsible for collecting trash from the river surface, while the other team sorted and processed the collected trash on the bank and transported it to the nearest recycling station. Originally, Yu Jin and Lao Tang's plan was to collect the trash from the riverbank.

but……

Principal Jiang clearly considered things more thoroughly.

He actually arranged for about ten small boats.

This makes it easier for Yu Jin and his team to retrieve the trash, especially the garbage on the river surface that is farther away from the sides of the river and closer to the center.

As the president of the company.

Yu Jin took the lead and was the first to board a small boat.

Holding a net, he began to retrieve the fish.

And that's this moment.

On the semi-transparent panel in front of me, the system notification arrived as expected—

[You, alone, with the body of an ant, ventured deep into and purified the 'Seventh-Order Pollution Source—the River of Death'!]

[Due to the massive scale of the pollution source, the system will award you a reward based on the purification results after you complete the purification!]

But not for a while.

As Yin Yao, standing beside Yu Jin, also picked up a net and bent down to scoop up a plastic bag floating on the river, a new notification appeared—

[Your people, follow in your footsteps and join the effort to purify the 'Seventh-Order Pollution Source—the River of Death'!]

[After purification is complete, you will receive additional rewards based on the purification results achieved by your subjects!]

Followed by.

Tang Yunxuan, along with a hundred other members, began to take action.

As the city lord, you lead a hundred subjects to purify the 'Seventh-Tier Pollution Source—The River of Death'!

[Upon successful purification, you will receive extremely generous rewards!]

Under this prompt.

Two more lines of text appeared—

[Current purification progress: 0.1%]

[Note: The higher the purification progress, the richer the rewards!]

After reading it, Yu Jin made a decision without hesitation.

"100%!"

"We must reach 100% completion; we won't call it a day until we've earned all the rewards!"

Yu Jin quickened his movements.

Soon.

But then a new text prompt appeared before his eyes—

Your leadership in purifying the 'seventh-level pollution source' has attracted a large number of displaced people to participate!

[You have earned the achievement 'Wasteland Leader'!]

[Wasteland Leader]

The refugees who voluntarily participate in the purification campaign under your leadership will be temporarily considered your subjects, and their purification achievements will bring you additional rewards!

Your campaign to purify the 'Seventh-Order Pollution Source' is unprecedented in its scale and resounds throughout the wasteland!

Your reputation in the wasteland has greatly increased!

……

Ember shifted his gaze from the semi-transparent panel to the distance.

That's when I realized—

The principal, vice-principal, and even the top leader all followed my example, taking out fishing nets and boarding the small boat.

On the banks of the river.

Even the students and teachers who weren't club members rolled up their sleeves, ready to get to work!
What surprised Yu Jin even more was...

Over time.

The onlookers who were initially watching from a distance actually started walking towards the river and joining in!

For a while.

This sewage river cleanup campaign has grown even larger in scale!
at the same time.

As the number of participants continued to increase, honking sounds grew louder as they approached.

The authorities sent more officers in hats to maintain order at the scene and ensure the safety of the event.

Also.

Even bystanders who hadn't participated in the event spontaneously took out their phones and started filming short videos.

The media reporters who had been stationed on both sides of the river were now so excited that their eyes were red.

Kaka-

The flash kept flashing.

The scenes from the scene were then frozen in time...
