Lu Yao picked up garbage in the deep sea for several days in a row, accumulating 100,000 popularity points and exchanging them for a special identity card.
The badge of Maorongrong employees is a red string with a silver plate engraved with the owner's name, contact information and number. The temporary badge is a black string with a silver plate engraved with the owner's name and number.
To make it easy to distinguish, the guest ID card is set with a light blue string, the same color as the ocean, and a silver plate engraved with the owner's name and number.
From the work badges of Erxin mother and son to temporary work badges, five numbers have been used up.
Arranging in order, Bai Jing's ID card number is 006.
Lu Yao was very happy as he received one million in cash from the ID card.
Finally, after the black ring, I got some other income.
Since the last encounter with the killer whale group, the autistic fish groups were knocked away and many autistic "fish" were forcibly awakened.
Recently, more and more customers come to the store to pet the cats, and the four cats are exhausted from working.
Needless to say, the three kittens made even Erxin, the most lazy and carefree, tired. He often hid in the kitchen to take a nap during work hours and didn't want to play with the guests.
Human love is too "suffocating".
Lu Yao considered introducing new furry species and visited the flower and bird market several times, looking for hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits…
After understanding everything, she felt that these furry animals were not suitable to be brought to the store for the time being.
It is more fragile and less interactive.
The plan to introduce new furry breeds was temporarily shelved. Lu Yao planned to continue adopting a few cats and began to pay attention to stray cats near the shopping street.
But there is still a serious problem: every furry employee needs an ID card.
One badge has a popularity value of 100,000. Before looking for stray cats, you need to prepare the cat badge first.
Lu Yao increased the number of times he went diving into the sea, diving three times a day, and staying out for two hours each time. He stayed near the garbage mountain and could basically accumulate 30,000 popularity points a day.
"Boo-boo—"
The familiar "嘤嘤" sound was heard, and the store suddenly became quiet. The customers' actions of petting the cats became gentler.
Lu Yao came out of the kitchen and was not surprised to see the killer whale outside the transparent membrane.
Ever since she rescued an injured killer whale calf in the sea last time, killer whales started to come to the Furry Shop to find her from time to time.
I don’t know how different populations of killer whales communicate with each other, but overnight, the Furry Shop became famous among the killer whale populations.
Some killer whales came alone, while others came with three or five companions. Some were bitten while hunting, entangled in fishing nets, or accidentally swallowed plastic... The reasons why they came to find Lu Yao were different.
Lu Yao is like a witch living in the deep sea, solving any problems they encounter.
After the matter was resolved, they wandered away chirping.
Come back a few hours later and throw a few fish in front of the store, snapper, herring, squid, jellyfish... all kinds of food they can think of.
The one that came to find Lu Yao this time was the injured killer whale calf in the killer whale group last time. The oval pattern under its eye was very flat, making it particularly easy to recognize.
Occasionally, when a group of killer whales stop nearby, it will come to find Lu Yao.
The killer whale calf was holding a blackfin tuna in its mouth. When it saw Lu Yao coming out, it threw the fish to her, "Bing~Bing~"
Lu Yao held the fish, feeling somewhat helpless: "No need to bring fish every time you come. Wait for me a moment."
She planned to change into a diving suit and go diving with the killer whale calf.
They had gone diving together several times, and with the killer whales around, they basically didn't have to worry about encountering other predators.
This time, along with the orca calf came an adult male killer whale, whom Lu Yao had never seen before.
In documentaries, killer whales appear to be about the same size as dolphins, but they are actually much larger than that.
For example, the male killer whale in front of you has a beautiful streamlined body, black and white colors, huge and elegant, and a dorsal fin that is straight and pointing upward.
This killer whale behaved unusually cool and didn't even cry.
Most of the killer whales that Lu Yao was familiar with were chatty and talkative. As long as they were around, they would always chat with their companions.
"Dumb" killer whales are rare, and she looked at the adult killer whale curiously, with inquiry in her eyes.
The adult killer whale was silent for a while, and suddenly hummed a syllable: "... Ying."
It turns out that he can talk.
Lu Yao's curiosity was satisfied. He sent the tuna to the kitchen, changed into a diving suit, and went diving with the two killer whales.
She has recently been trying to explore the boundaries of the garbage sea, swimming far to the west, north and south.
The ocean is so vast and boundless that the farthest we can reach is the edge of the trench.
Beneath the huge coral reef is a deep trench, dark and deep, covered with algae.
The deeper you go, the colder the sea water becomes, and the greater the water pressure becomes. Only fish and sea animals that are adapted to the deep sea can dive. Humans feel suffocated just by looking at it.
After failing to expand horizontally and vertically downwards, Lu Yao tried to float to the surface of the sea.
The seabed where the furry shop is located is exposed to sunlight during the day. She originally thought that the shop was located in a shallow sea and it would be easy to reach the surface of the sea.
Lu Yao swam upstream for a long time, and the sea surface was like an unattainable mirage. He could see it, but could never touch it.
Killer whales occasionally float to the surface to breathe, but come down within a few seconds.
Only then did Lu Yao suddenly understand what Qingmei meant by being trapped in this sea.
She returned to the garbage mountain in the east and continued to explore the border while picking up trash.
Only in this direction, endless garbage occupies a large area of the seabed, and no trench can be seen.
Two killer whales are guarding on both sides. The killer whale cub is very active and often uses its tail to help pick up some large garbage.
When passing by the autistic fish schools, they were still not polite. They rushed up and down, crashing through the middle of the fish schools, and another large number of autistic fish schools were forcibly awakened.
This time Lu Yao swam very far to the east, obviously crossing some kind of boundary.
The sea water became more and more turbid, and even had a bad smell, a fishy smell of the ocean mixed with the smell of the land sewers.
She felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to turn back.
The two killer whales still wanted to take her forward, but Lu Yao insisted on swimming for a few dozen more meters.
The water was completely murky and I couldn't see anything clearly.
She stopped and tried to turn back.
The orca calf tried to push her forward but was stopped by the adult male orca.
On the way back, Lu Yao became exhausted and could not swim anymore.
The adult male killer whale held her left hand and dragged her back.
It bit very carefully, so at least it didn't hurt, and it swam very slowly.
But Lu Yao suddenly remembered a news report in his mind, in which a killer whale was hunting a humpback whale calf, and it encountered a cruise ship by chance, dragging the humpback whale calf's tail and swimming around the ship several times.
She shuddered all over and her hands and feet suddenly regained strength. She broke free from the killer whale's drag and swam forward with all her might.
Most marine mammals rely on sonar to identify prey, and perhaps humans are not worthy of being considered food for killer whales.
But that doesn't stop the carefree shop owner from suddenly becoming nervous at some point.
"Hmm?" The adult male killer whale seemed puzzled by Lu Yao's behavior.
Lu Yao didn't understand and didn't know how to answer.
"Tsk tsk—" The killer whale cub suddenly made a light "tsk" sound that seemed to be mocking.
"Bang!" The adult male killer whale gently bumped into the killer whale calf.
The orca calf thought it was playing, so it spun around and swung its tail into the male orca's belly, "Bing~"
"Tsk." The male killer whale's big tail directly pulled the killer whale calf five meters away.
Lu Yao was at a loss: "... Stop playing."
If she gets bumped into, she might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
These sea monsters have no idea of their own weight.
-
Yaoguang City, Baishan Hospital.
Dr. Bai Jing finished his routine morning rounds and returned to his office.
There was someone sitting at his desk, apparently waiting for someone.
Bai Jing saw the girl sitting there and was slightly stunned. He was a little bit unbelieving. After a moment, he calmed down: "Jing... Yuxi, you are back."
Jing Yuxi stood up, looking a little haggard, but still as beautiful and elegant as she was a few years ago.
She said, "Doctor Bai."
Bai Jing lowered his eyes and nodded gently, "When did you come back?"
They had been separated for many years, and when they met again they only exchanged simple greetings. He didn't think she came to see him specifically.
Jing Yuxi: "Last month. I came to the hospital to get medicine and came to see you."
"Are you sick? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Bai Jing put the medical record on the table, sat down casually, and spoke in a very calm tone.
Jing Yuxi saw the blue bracelet on his wrist, with a silver plate on it and a name engraved on it. His expression suddenly turned bad. "Nothing, just a little stomach discomfort. I've already taken medicine. If you're fine, I'll leave first."
Bai Jing subconsciously grabbed her wrist, "You wouldn't come to me for no reason, what's the matter?"
Jing Yuxi stared at the bracelet on his wrist and saw the name clearly.
Lu Yao.
No one would wear another person's name on their body for no reason, let alone a man like Bai Jing.
However, they have been separated for many years.
She came here today because she really wanted his help with something.
Jing Yuxi gathered her emotions, turned around and looked at him again, "Well, I did encounter something, and I would like you to introduce someone from the Ji family."
Bai Jing raised an eyebrow, "You want to see Ji Feiming? What happened?"
Jing Yuxi fiddled with his fingers and lowered his voice: "I want to ask him to help see if there is anything on my body."
She didn't believe in the evil spirits before, and this was one of the reasons why she broke up with Bai Jing.
The two people's concepts are very different.
But in the past year, too many bad things have happened to her. She broke a finger bone while practicing piano, performed poorly in an important international competition, sprained her wrist by accidentally stepping on empty air while going down the stairs, and missed the opportunity to continue her studies.
Suddenly, it seemed as if all the bad things were happening to her.
Jing Yuxi tried to find some professionals and later saw a psychologist, but to no avail.
In desperation, she thought of Bai Jing's friend who could see strange things.
In the past, meeting Ji Feiming was as difficult as ascending to heaven, after all, he was a messenger of God.
But recently he has been free enough to work as a deliveryman in the shopping street, and Bai Jing thinks this is not a difficult job.
Ji Feiming had nothing to do at noon, so he agreed to meet Jing Yuxi.
The three of them met at a high-end restaurant near Baishan Hospital.
Jing Yuxi originally planned to meet Ji Feiming himself, but the other party said that he had to go to work and would only be available at noon.
When asking for help from others, you can only accommodate their schedule.
During lunch break, the three met in a private room at the "Old Times" restaurant.
Jing Yuxi sat down and noticed the black rope on Ji Feiming's wrist. There was a silver plate hanging in the middle of the rope, which was very similar to the bracelet worn by Bai Jing.
She observed calmly, and then found that "Lu Yao" was also engraved on Ji Feiming's silver plate. Things suddenly became confusing.
"You..." Jing Yuxi said with difficulty, "... your bracelets are pretty nice. Did you buy them in the same store?"
Ji Feiming looked down and saw the bracelet. He was annoyed. "I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to return my work badge to the owner. What's your problem? I have to go back to the store as soon as I'm done."
Jing Yuxi was stunned: "What shop owner?"
Ji Feiming used the most concise, conservative and uncompromising language to explain where he worked, and revealed that Bai Jing had applied for a membership card in his store with a monthly fee of one million.
Jing Yuxi was stunned for a long time: "In other words, 'Lu Yao' is your boss's name?"
Who would engrave their name on their work badge and membership card
It's so weird.
Ji Feiming nodded, "Yes. I just checked and there is nothing wrong with you. It may be that you are under too much pressure and in a bad mood. The best way is to relax and try to adjust yourself."
Ji Feiming left after finishing his work, as he was worried that the store owner would use a temporary worker badge.
After four years, Bai Jing and Jing Yuxi had dinner together again.
Jing Yuxi ate very little, Bai Jing thought she was being reserved and advised her to eat more. Jing Yuxi ate two more bites and ended up vomiting when she came out and stood on the side of the road.
Bai Jing stood on the side of the road with his hands on his hips, silent for a long time, "Have you always been like this?"
Jing Yuxi vomited until only acid was left. After rinsing his mouth, he stood up and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"What did the doctor say? Where is the medical record? Let me see it." Bai Jing asked.
Jing Yuxi flipped through some pictures on his phone. "These are the medical records. The doctors' diagnosis is almost always that I'm under too much stress. But I think what happened to me has gone beyond the realm of stress. It's more like a supernatural event."
Anxiety, insomnia, memory loss, emotional changes will eventually be reflected in the body.
The latest test results showed that she had neurotic gastritis.
After reading the medical records, Bai Jing made a phone call: "Shopkeeper, this is Bai Jing."
Lu Yao on the other end of the phone was breathing rapidly. He recognized Bai Jing's voice and calmed his breath slightly: "Doctor Bai, what's the matter?"
"It's like this, I have a patient and want to bring her to the store." Bai Jing said politely, feeling a little nervous inside.
When he agreed to let Ji Feiming meet Lu Yao, he thought he was another rich man with some hidden illness.
Arriving at the shopping street and signing a confidentiality agreement, he was actually quite surprised to see the store owner who was younger than him.
Later, she gradually became familiar with the store owner and got a glimpse into the secrets of the shopping street. He had unconsciously distinguished her from others.
Be more careful with this person than with others.
Erxin disappeared, and Lu Yao was looking for the cat. After listening to Bai Jing's words, he thought for half a minute and said, "Are you going to stay with her, or let her use your ID card?"
Bai Jing: "If possible, I would like to go to the store with her."
Lu Yao: "Come over in three days. You will need to sign a strict confidentiality agreement. The price for a temporary work badge is 50,000 yuan per use."
After making an appointment with Bai Jing, Lu Yao hung up the phone and continued looking for the cat.
Ji Feiming had also returned to the shopping street, and the two of them went their separate ways to search.
This is a bit funny to talk about. Erxin is so popular in the store that customers all like to hug her and cuddle with her.
At first, Erxin could barely cope with it, but later she got completely annoyed. Plus, the owner was not there and there was no one to control her, so she just performed a "pig escape" move.
It is said that Erxin dodged the crowd of customers with his unprecedented agility, jumped up, pushed open the door, and disappeared in a flash.
At that time, Lu Yao was in the deep sea, and Qingmei couldn't open the door to another world at all.
Erxin would occasionally go out to play by himself and come back after half a day.
Lu Yao had not intended to look for her, but a group of customers in the store were concerned about where Erxin had been and wanted her to return to the store as soon as possible.
In desperation, Lu Yao began to look for the cat near the shopping street.
I didn’t find the fat calico, but I did see several stray cats.
Unfortunately, they are very vigilant and difficult to catch without professional tools.
Lu Yao wandered around outside for a while and then went to the blind box shop.
Not long after, Ji Feiming also came back.
The world of impermanence has changed a lot. Crystal core energy has become a renewable clean energy source. Its concentrated liquid can be mixed in different proportions to purify soil and water.
However, the technology for efficient development of crystal core energy is still in the hands of the blind box store owner. Without the owner's magic extraction technology, all research cannot go any further.
At present, the base near the blind box store has jointly developed a plantation, which mainly grows food and mutant plants.
After the harvest, residents can go to the blind box store to exchange them for other daily necessities they need.
When Lu Yao saw the latest generation of water purification concentrate in the laboratory, he had an idea.
I wonder if this concentrated liquid can be used to purify the sea of garbage
The garbage in the garbage sea pollutes the sea water and fish, but the ocean currents are flowing, making complete purification almost impossible.
If the sea water and fish could be purified, there would be no need to use magic all the time, and this made Lu Yao unwilling to give up.
At least we can try it in a deep-sea fish tank first. Lu Yao picked up three bottles of concentrated liquid and prepared to take them to the garbage sea for experiments.
The next morning, Lu Yao came out of the nail salon and went to the snack bar to have breakfast. When he came out, he saw Erxin lying in front of the furry shop, licking his paws lazily.
She looked more closely and saw that there were three more guard cats around Fat Sanhua.
The posture of being on high alert was even more impressive than the empress returning to the palace.
