Chapter 699 - 59: Cleanup Score—S!
Chapter 699 - 59: Cleanup Score—S!
"Hey, kid, why are you just standing there in a daze?""The captain gave you the Purification Mask, not for you to zone out. Come and help!"
"If you’ve got an ability, use it. If your talent isn’t fitting, grab a knife and start chopping."
"This Centipede Star People has over two hundred tentacles. We have to finish the cleanup before tonight’s match starts!"
The speaker was a young woman holding a giant pair of scissors two meters long.
Snip, snip, tentacles fell to the ground, one after another.
The giant scissors in her hands danced in the air like a storm, slicing a severed tentacle into dozens of pieces in the blink of an eye.
Though each piece was still large, at least they could be managed by an individual.
Watching everyone busy at work, Han Zhan suddenly began to understand what the duties of a venue assistant really were.
He nodded, and after a brief thought, decided to reveal a bit of his "strength".
Then, Han Zhan slightly raised his hand, aiming at one of the cut-up large chunks of meat.
In the next second, a faint red light glowed from his palm, sprinkling twinkling dots of light onto the meat.
The chunk of flesh, originally as tall as a person, began to shrink and diminish at a visibly rapid pace under the light, finally transforming into a tiny red point of light absorbed into Han Zhan’s hand.
Ancient Divine Soldiers, Shennong Cauldron.
Talent Ability, Creation of Living Beings.
What appeared to be an overwhelming giant corpse to others was a treasure trove for Han Zhan!
This display of skills successfully captured everyone’s attention.
Including the young woman wielding the giant scissors, as well as their team captain, Level Two Venue Assistant, Luo Heng.
All their eyes were fixed unblinkingly on Han Zhan.
The entire scene suddenly fell silent.
Like he hadn’t noticed everyone’s reactions, Han Zhan raised his hand again, targeting the second meat chunk, then the third, the fourth...
In the span of a few breaths, all the cut-up pieces of the severed tentacle were transformed into the energy of Creation of Living Beings, absorbed into the Shennong Cauldron.
As Han Zhan was about to head to the next cleanup area, he was stopped by Luo Heng.
"Wait, hold on; let me catch my breath."
Luo Heng looked at Han Zhan, who wore a Purification Mask with a puzzled expression, and slightly bowed his head to organize his thoughts.
"What’s your ability? Did you just devour those chunks of meat?" You could tell he was struggling to contain his excitement.
As a venue assistant, an appropriate Talent Ability gives a significant edge.
Luo Heng climbed to the position of Level 2 Venue Assistant because of his telekinesis talent.
And now, Han Zhan’s talent might be even more suitable than his telekinesis ability!
"Yes, I devoured those meat chunks," Han Zhan nodded and said. "My Talent Ability is Life Absorption, allowing me to absorb the remaining life from corpses, just as you saw."
Luo Heng took a deep breath upon hearing Han Zhan’s admission.
"Great, just great!" Luo Heng energetically patted Han Zhan on the shoulder.
"What are the rest of you waiting for? Don’t bother anymore with carrying the meat to the designated area; bring it all to Han Zhan."
"Xue Mei, come over and help out too."
Luo Heng directed at the young woman with the giant scissors.
So, her name was Xue Mei.
Xue Mei nodded in response to Luo Heng’s words.
When Han Zhan chose to expose his Creativity Talent, the entire squad’s cleanup strategy instantly changed,
which is why Luo Heng advanced to Level 2 Venue Assistant.
Under his swift direction, Luo Heng’s team began active collaboration: the others transported meat chunks while Xue Mei focused on dismantling the Centipede Star People’s tentacles.
Luo Heng himself used telekinesis to move the tentacle corpses.
All Han Zhan needed to do was concentrate on extracting life spiritual power, devouring the meat entirely.
With everyone’s concerted efforts, they managed to finish clearing the Centipede Star People’s corpse before the night’s match began.
Luo Heng patted Han Zhan excitedly on the shoulder.
Though Han Zhan didn’t know why Luo Heng was so excited.
"Take a rest; it’s your first day doing such intense work. Rest up and don’t tire yourself out," Luo Heng said to Han Zhan.
"You all, split into two squads and quickly begin the next phase of cleanup."
"Quick, quick, move faster! Get it done before the rating group arrives on scene!"
"We might just get an S rating this time!"
Luo Heng’s last words about the "S rating" seemed to energize everyone, who had been previously fatigued.
Mopping the floor, cleaning bloodstains, drying the ground, disposing of wastewater, purifying the air...
As they finished these additional tasks, the rating group responsible for assessing the cleanup arrived on schedule.
Dressed in black uniforms, distinct from Luo Heng’s orange attire,
the evaluator was visibly astonished by the pristine condition of the arena.
"Let me see, you were in charge of cleaning up the Centipede Star People’s corpse. Given its enormous size, reaching fifty percent cleanup merits a D rating."
"So where’s the corpse?!"
"You’ve completed a hundred percent cleanup of the corpse! And the venue is spotless!"
"This... is absolutely incredible!"
Astonished, the rating official nonetheless professionally evaluated Luo Heng and his team’s work.
The result was something he hadn’t anticipated.
"The overall site cleaning evaluation is... S!"
Upon hearing the S rating from the evaluator, every member of Luo Heng’s team, Luo Heng included, erupted into cheers.
An S rating signifies their outstanding accomplishment of the cleanup task.
While Pure Beauty Paradise pressures its toolmen, it also offers rewards.
For instance, an S rating means each Luo Heng squad member receives a bonus of one hundred lifespan coins and a day’s rest.
For the overworked toolmen in Paradise, such a reward is exceptional.
Luo Heng solemnly approached Han Zhan and patted his shoulder.
"I’m giving my one hundred lifespan coin reward to you. Without you, our squad wouldn’t have achieved this S rating. Newcomer, you’ve done great."
"Let’s go," Luo Heng said, gesturing invitingly to Han Zhan.
"Where to?" Han Zhan asked instinctively.
"Today’s work is done. Thanks to the S rating, we get a day off tomorrow, so let’s enjoy and relax!"
"Come on, let’s go watch tonight’s match!"
