The Ancient Corpse Refining is such an ominous thing; having it is no better than not having it.
Su Yuan imdiately lost interest in completing this goodwill task.
But the task couldn’t be canceled or given up; it could only be left to fate.
While Su Yuan was distressed by the new task, Martial Arts Teacher Li Ziquan and PE Teacher Zhuge Tie finally finished arguing.
"Su Yuan, let’s not argue with soone like Teacher Zhuge. Let’s go eat,"
Li Ziquan pushed Zhuge Tie aside, gently took Su Yuan’s hand, and headed towards the cafeteria.
Zhuge Tie snorted coldly:
"Su Yuan, your physical fitness is too average. Physical condition is the foundation for all sports achievents. You have to drink my black horn bull bone soup at lunch later."
Saying this, he also headed into the cafeteria.
Hearing these words from the two teachers, Su Yuan suddenly understood.
When Teacher Zhuge stopped him earlier, he must have already considered what to do if Su Yuan couldn’t get a place in the cafeteria.
The solution was to take him through the teacher’s exclusive channel to get food.
Even if he had to run ten laps on the playground, he wouldn’t go hungry.
So considerate!
It was said that the teachers’ als contained many nutritious ingredients not found in student als, so Su Yuan felt lucky.
Su Yuan thought cheerfully, turning misfortune into fortune.
As he entered the cafeteria, there was a bustling crowd, with every food counter packed with people, and most of the tables were occupied.
Su Yuan quickly found his good buddy, who was still in line for food.
Ha!
Su Yuan grinned triumphantly and followed the two teachers towards the teacher’s passage.
At that mont, a student with a half-eaten al walked past Su Yuan and dumped it into a waste bin nearby.
Seeing this, Su Yuan, who always cherished food, couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry.
This behavior by the student wasn’t unique, as the waste bin was already filled with leftovers.
Staring at the half-eaten Spirit Fruit in the bin, the half-soaked bun, and bones with bits of at left, a strange idea suddenly popped into Su Yuan’s head.
Are these discarded foods considered sect resources?
With this thought, Su Yuan quickly walked over to the waste bin, grabbed the edge, and ntally repeated his claim over it.
Yet, nothing happened.
Tsk, it seems it’s deed sect’s discarded resources, and there’s no loophole.
Just as Su Yuan felt a bit disappointed, a slightly hesitant voice ca from behind him:
"Excuse , can you move a bit?"
Su Yuan turned around to see a student ready to dump leftovers, with an intact egg yolk on the plate, looking quite tempting.
It didn’t seem like it should be classified as waste.
A thought flashed through Su Yuan’s mind, and he sincerely asked:
"Classmate, I need so leftover food to feed my dog at ho. Can you let handle your leftovers? Of course, I’ll also clean the tray."
"Um, okay."
Seeing Su Yuan’s sincere words, the classmate nodded and handed over the tray to Su Yuan.
In the next second, a "ding" sounded in Su Yuan’s mind.
[Task 2: Secret Invasion (In Progress)]
[Task progress: Resources plundered (1/100)]
"Oh, did I guess right?"
Su Yuan was overjoyed inside.
Though the task progress had only increased slightly, there were five to six hundred students in the cafeteria!
Even if only a fifth of them had leftovers, he could complete his task in one go!
With that in mind, Su Yuan seized the opportunity, swiftly asked a cleaning auntie in the cafeteria for a pile of clean garbage bags, and brought several trash bins, lining them with the bags.
"Su Yuan, what are you doing?"
Already within the teacher’s passage, Zhuge Tie frowned and asked.
"Sorry, Teacher, I can’t join you for lunch right now, I have more important things to do,"
Su Yuan said before standing by the waste bins, with a resolute expression.
Teachers Li Ziquan and Zhuge Tie were stunned by this scene.
They watched as Su Yuan took tray after tray from students ready to dump leftovers, elegantly sorting the food like so countryside feast takeaway veteran, Old Deng.
"Classmate, over here, just give the tray, I’ll wash it clean."
"No trouble, no trouble, thank you for your support."
Zhuge Tie’s stern face showed a hint of strangeness as he looked at the gradually filling trash bins, unable to resist saying:
"I just heard the kid say he’s taking the leftovers to feed a dog? What kind of dog eats that much? A Foundation Establishnt Stage Dog Demon?"
While they were puzzled, Yue Lin, the horoom teacher of Class 2 Senior 3, entered the cafeteria.
The two teachers exchanged glances and went to greet him.
"Teacher Yue, you are Su Yuan’s horoom teacher, right? Do you have any idea about his behavior now?"
Li Ziquan pointed at Su Yuan and asked Yue Lin.
Yue Lin was stunned, looked at Su Yuan waiting by the waste bin, and suddenly felt overwheld, instinctively saying:
"Is this kid’s condition worsening so quickly?"
"What?!"
He was only slightly ntally unstable in the morning, and by noon he’s addicted to sorting garbage like this seed like classic compulsion.
Further on, he’s sure to go completely insane, right?
Recalling the genius students who had lost their way before, Yue Lin couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
Would another young prodigy fall... Oh, wait, Su Yuan is quite average, not really a prodigy.
Never mind then.
With his thoughts briefly interrupted, Yue Lin observed Su Yuan’s ntal state again, cleared his throat, and said:
"It could also be that Su Yuan’s family’s circumstances aren’t great, so he’s collecting leftovers to eat."
Li Ziquan, Zhuge Tie: "..."
That’s pitifully sadder, isn’t it!
Zhuge Tie hesitated, saying:
"We invited Su Yuan for lunch earlier, but he refused. He didn’t seem unable to afford als."
Li Ziquan said softly:
"Teacher Yue, you always think so negatively, can’t you imagine a better scenario?"
Yue Lin swayed slightly and analyzed:
"Setting aside factors of illness and family, the only reason might be—"
"Su Yuan cherishes food, unwilling to see it wasted, and plans to use it to feed cats, dogs, tigers, or crocodiles."
Li Ziquan, Zhuge Tie: "..."
Here we go again.
After a mont of silence, Zhuge Tie said:
"Collecting leftovers isn’t an issue, but it’s surprising to discover today just how much food students are wasting each al. It seems so students are living too comfortably."
Yue Lin shook his head:
"Though that’s true, quite a significant number of students prefer takeout over the cafeteria. Enforcing stricter rules might lead to even fewer students eating here."
He glanced at Su Yuan, letting out a sigh:
"Young people as thrifty as Su Yuan are rare these days."
At this mont, a "ding" suddenly sounded in Su Yuan’s mind.
