Game Loading Chapter 60-61

Lost Atlantis 31

Thankfully, Xie Xi used the first face before going out. If he used Colin's face then it would be too busy. He hadn't taken care of the two cockfighting people in the palace yet. If he provoked another person then he would probably never fill up the progress in this lifetime!

Despite the use of the first face, the current situation was somewhat troublesome.

The fourth prince's words were very intriguing. The underwater people were also human. He asked this question because he was questioning Xie Xi's identity. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary person to raise their hands and get rid of the pile of rubbish without a trace.

How should Xie Xi explain the scene just now?

He glanced at the fourth prince and said, "I am Jesse Hall."

The fourth prince lowered his gaze and saw Xie Xi's clothes. "Are you a guard of the palace?"

Xie Xi was wearing the guard's light blue uniform. The appearance had changed due to the rubbish but it could be distinguished with a closer look.

He told the fourth prince, "This subordinate has seen the fourth prince."

For a moment, the surrounding seawater shrank back a bit. Xie Xi felt a cold and bitter killing intent as the fourth prince raised his hand and grabbed Xie Xi's neck.

His hand was cold and a fragrance came from it. The smell had some bitterness to it, like it was a type of herb.

Xie Xi was choked but he was fearless. He looked up at the fourth prince with calm eyes.

The fourth prince tightened his grip and asked in a low voice, "Who the hell are you!"

Xie Xi had difficulty breathing. Redness rose to his face and uncontrollable moisture appeared in his eyes.

His face was handsome and romantic. At this moment, the fearless expression made it seductive to the extreme.

The fourth prince's eyes narrowed and he loosened his hand. "Don't lie or I will kill you." This last sentence was whispered into Xie Xi's ears. He had no doubt that he would be killed as soon as he did anything suspicious.

The fourth prince who lived in a simple manner, not only was he not sick, he also showed a fierce hostility.

Xie Xi replied, "I am a guard of the palace called Jesse Hall. If there is even a bit of falsehood in my words then please take my life."

The fourth prince pressed him. "What were you doing just now? Where did the rubbish go?"

Xie Xi spoke very bluntly. "I can't say it clearly but I suddenly gained an ability. Thus, I wanted to try it out."

The fourth prince stared at him. "What ability?"

"I can eliminate garbage."

What bullshit ability was this? If this was peacetime then he would probably be treated as crazy? Eliminate garbage? How could anyone have that ability?

However, the fourth prince saw it with his own eyes. This person walked out of the shield, stood in a sea of dirt and reached out. Then the disgusting rubbish disappeared.

He actually saw it so he had to believe these words.

Xie Xi was very calm. He was confident in the identity of the first face and his words weren't nonsense. He did somehow get an ability to let rubbish 'disappear'. It might be obtained in his items bar but in the eyes of others, it had disappeared.

The highest level of lying was to have 70% of it be true while 30% was false. Xie Xi didn't understand it before but now that he was stepping on many boats, he couldn't not understand.

The fourth prince watched him for a while, the dark eyes like a searchlight examining the inside of Xie Xi.

Xie Xi was honest while showing some timidity and uneasiness. His emotions were correctly in place.

Stepping on many ships had some benefits. He would've died in Love to the Left or Right if he hadn't learnt acting. Xie Xi learnt the benefits of a 'good play.'

The fourth prince finally released him. The prince was still expressionless and his voice was cold. "You can eliminate garbage?"

Xie Xi was relieved and answered, "Yes, as long as I touch it with my hands. There are some limits. It won't work if the number of garbage is too small."

"Come with me."

Xie Xi hastened to keep up.

The fourth prince really wasn't sick. No, he was in better than good health! At this speed, he would undoubtedly win the 100 metres sprint if he participated!

Xie Xi had used a potion and was wearing the guard uniform but his tail was exposed to the outside. It was corroded by the sea and damaged. He originally had an ordinary physical condition. He wouldn't be able to keep up, even if he wasn't injured.

The fourth prince paused and came back. "Give me your hand."

Xie Xi was confused but he couldn't provoke this mysterious prince. He had to hold out his hand.

The fourth prince held him and the next moment, 'flew' away with him.

The reason he called it flying was because this speed was too fast. The word 'swimming' seemed too weak and powerless!

Xie Xi didn't have to do anything but he felt pain from the water rushing towards his face. The good thing was that his ability to adapt was very powerful. If this was ordinary plastic surgery, his face would probably be deformed right now!

The fourth prince looked warm and soft but he was this reckless. The third prince wasn't as good as this!

They finally arrived at the destination and Xie Xi took a deep breath once they stopped.

The wound on his tail had widened and the pain was killing him.

The fourth prince glanced at his tail and didn't say anything.

Xie Xi didn't mind. It was because he saw a huge garbage heap in front of him. The reason he used heap rather than mountain was that the rubbish was spread out all over the sea instead of in one pile…

For example, it was like a place on land were countless rotting objects and corrosive things were floating in the air. The air was even dyed a dirty grey. This shocking sight was something that the underwater people had to look at and live with.

The fourth prince said, "Let me see you get rid of it."

Xie Xi had long guessed the prince's intentions and was happy.

He calmed down, closed his eyes and swam in. He was about to enter when the fourth prince shouted at him, "Wait."

Xie Xi turned to look at him. "Hmm?"

The fourth prince started to unbutton his clothes.

Xie Xi blinked and couldn't keep up with this person's brain circuits… what was he doing, taking off his clothes?

The fourth prince took off the coat of his uniform, revealing his sexy body. Not only did it not look sickly at all, but it was also very strong from exercise. Xie Xi felt envious when he saw this sight!

The half-naked fourth prince wasn't uncomfortable as he came over and wrapped his uniform around Xie Xi.

Xie Xi, "?"

The fourth prince was all and his clothes were long. Xie Xi's uniform had a short cut due to the curve of his tail. The prince's uniform covered a large part of him.

Xie Xi finally understood and he said, "It's fine…"

However, the fourth prince swam and stuffed all of the fishtail inside the uniform.

Xie Xi said, "Your Highness, I have an injury on my tail and will just dirty your clothes."

The fourth prince swam back up with no emotional ups or downs in his cold eyes. "Go ahead. If you lie to me, this will be your funeral clothes."

Then he covered Xie Xi's head with the coat.

Xie Xi, "…" You are so powerful, I can't afford to upset you!

Xie Xi blankly swam in. Due to his previous experience, he held his breath to protect his internal organs. Even so, his hand wasn't shielded and the skin of the back festered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xie Xi wasn't masochistic. He was afraid of pain, even if he wouldn't die. Thus, he hastened to confirm the rubbish collection.

The progress bar of the side task rose to 5%.

This pile of garbage was 40,000 tons. Good!

He collected it so thoroughly that not only was the rubbish gone, the dirty water was also purified. It was a pity that the injuries on his body couldn't be restored.

The fourth prince frowned and floated there.

Xie Xi looked back at him. "Your Highness, I haven't lied to you."

This ability was really against the sky. It couldn't be explained with logic.

The fourth prince didn't seem to think it was evil and took Xie Xi's hand again. "Follow me."

Xie Xi didn't have an opportunity to speak at all. This humanoid flying car was very fast and rushed out in the blink of an eye.

Roast Pork Bun hung onto Xie Xi's collar and was smashed by the sea water. He called out, "Stimulation, stimulating, this is very exciting~"

Xie Xi, "…" If he wasn't afraid of revealing himself, he would really pull out this bun and spank him.

The fourth prince took him to another garbage dump. Xie Xi was extremely happy that the fourth prince was helping him fill up his side task.

They moved back and forth for a night and Xie Xi collected a total of 330,000 tons of garbage, making the task progress rise to 33%.

The fourth prince finally stopped. He looked at the clothes on Xie Xi and said, "Go back."

Xie Xi hadn't collected enough but he had no say and could only follow.

The fourth prince entered the palace and directly took Xie Xi back to his palace.

There was no one in the palace, not even a servant. The fourth prince approached and ripped off the rotten clothes.

It had been so tightly wrapped that Xie Xi wasn't hurt. It was just his left hand exposed to the outside that was very miserable. After collecting so much rubbish, the back of his hand was bloody.

The fourth prince frowned slightly and ordered, "Wait here.'

Xie Xi floated in the palace and waited.

The fourth prince soon came back and the cold aroma around his body was heavier. Xie Xi saw that he was holding a small box in his hand. Once the prince opened it, the smell of medicine emerged. This was the smell that was always around the fourth prince.

Xie Xi was stunned.

The fourth prince leaned over and carefully applied medicine to Xie Xi's hand.

The effect of this medicine was surprisingly good. Once it was applied, Xie Xi's hand wasn't in pain anymore and the wound was slowly healing.

What a good medicine!

The fourth prince covered his hand before kneeling down and applying the medicine to his tail.

Xie Xi looked down at the focused prince and felt a bit embarrassed.

The fourth prince was really mysterious and hard to understand.

The medicine was applied and Xie Xi was also covered by this faint aroma. He didn't know why but Xie Xi had a thought. Did the prince smell like this because he often used the medicine?

Why? Was it due to the garbage in the shallow waters?

Xie Xi asked him, "Why was Your Highness there?"

The fourth prince didn't answer the question. "This medicine has a side effect and you will be full of weakness. Go inside to lie down. You can go back once it is better."

Xie Xi wanted to speak but he felt that his body was exhausted of strength. He couldn't even maintain his upright posture.

The fourth prince wasn't surprised and directly carried him into a room, settling him on a bed.

Xie Xi hadn't expected the side effect to be so strong. Not only was he full of weakness, he couldn't even lift a finger!

The fourth prince spoke again, "Don't worry, once the effect of the medicine is over, your injuries will be gone and you will return to the same state as before."

Xie Xi was startled and opened his mouth, only to find that even talking was laborious.

The fourth prince whispered, "Don't use this ability in the future and don't approach the garbage dumps."

Xie Xi thought he had misheard and struggled to open his mouth. "Why?" The rubbish hurt so many merpeople. Wasn't he protecting them by cleaning it up?

The fourth prince's pupils shrank and his voice contained no temperature. "Because it is useless."

Xie Xi was shocked.

The fourth prince stared at him and explained slowly, "The garbage can be cleaned up but as long as the land people are there, new rubbish will soon be born. Your ability is really interesting but it is unfortunately uselessly. It will just make the land people blindly dump more garbage."

Xie Xi heard a bitter hatred in the last words.

The fourth prince's voice became much gentler. "Rest, I will help you take leave from the guard's office."

Xie Xi looked up at him and found that the grey eyes were as deep as a tomb.

The fourth prince left and it took a while for Xie Xi's spirit to return.

He unwittingly glanced at the lower right corner.

There was a new colour on the progress bar for the main task.

Black…

8%…

What was going on?

The only remaining person was the eldest prince. How did it suddenly appear and had also risen to 8%?

Lost Atlantis 32

The progress bar of the main task had five colours. The green represented the finished fifth and sixth princes while the almost full red and purple were the third and second princes. Now there was the small white and black colours.

The information bar panel was transparent so the white colour was also conspicuous and could be seen clearly.

White was the fourth prince so black could only be the eldest prince.

It was easy to understand but why did the eldest prince's progress suddenly rise by nearly half? 8% was equivalent to 50% love. Xie Xi didn't do anything and didn't even see the other person. How was it halfway to love already?

Xie Xi stared at the progress bar for a while and changed his train of thought. Perhaps the white bar was the eldest prince? The eldest prince might've been there when he cleaned up the rubbish and the progress went up first. Then the fourth prince came out and Xie Xi mistook it for the fourth prince?

Then this sudden 8% rise in black was the fourth prince?

Even if it was the fourth prince, this increase was inexplicable. Previously, he was indifferent and then it surged after applying the medicine?

Xie Xi couldn't figure it out and he couldn't understand their thoughts.

Unfortunately, Roast Pork Bun couldn't be too far away from him or he would have Roast Pork Bun go and investigate the eldest prince.

Xie Xi couldn't think too much. The medicine also affected his head and he fell asleep after closing his eyes.

It was evening when he woke up. Xie Xi didn't panic. He had already prepared and made it so Colin went home to visit for two days. He had been really afraid of the crazy second and third princes and hadn't wanted to see them for a while.

Xie Xi was surprised to find that his injuries were all healed. There were still some traces on the tail and it was estimated that the scales recovered more slowly.

This medicine was amazing and Xie Xi felt that the technology on the seabed was much more powerful than land.

He had just left the room when he saw a mermaid waiting outside. "His Highness said that you can leave if you wake up. His Highness has something to do and can't send you."

Xie Xi hurriedly said, "I have been a bother to His Highness and don't dare trouble him any longer."

Then Xie Xi left the fourth prince's palace.

He was concerned about the black progress bar. He secretly went to the palace of the eldest prince and found that the diligent prince hadn't come back and was working overtime.

Was the black progress bar really his? Xie Xi waited for a while but the prince didn't come back. He could only leave first.

His 'leave' time wasn't long and he had to complete the side mission!

Yesterday, Xie Xi had collected 330,000 tons of garbage with the fourth prince's help and the progress of the side task reached 33%.  He thought this would be a difficult task to complete but unexpectedly it wasn't that difficult. It could easily be completed with a little suffering of his flesh!

Xie Xi left to go find rubbish. He was just passing the original town when he remembered the little mermaid and wanted to see her…

He had just swam to the edge when he felt the tingling sensation again.

Xie Xi looked over and his heart sank.

He had disposed of the garbage yesterday and collected 10,000 tons. At this moment, the same place had once again become a sea of garbage.

Roast Pork Bun wondered, "What's going on? Daddy, are we in the wrong place?"

There was no mistake. This was the town.

The words of the fourth prince rang in his head. 'The garbage can be cleaned up but as long as the land people are there, new rubbish will soon be born.'

Thus, this was the new rubbish.

So much garbage was made overnight?

Xie Xi's head buzzed as he thought about the billions of people on land and their huge base. Even if someone only made a bit of garbage in one day, this would be terrified when multiplied by billions.

Just getting rid of garbage would really make the land people worse.

They would continue to keep breaking through the bottom line.

Xie Xi collected the garbage here and went to a few places he had been to yesterday. He didn't have the fourth prince so his speed was very slow. He was breathless when swimming but it was good that he remembered the road. Otherwise, there would be more trouble.

Xie Xi got the chills. The more he saw, the more he understood the mood of the fierce militant faction.

The garbage was cleared only to pop up again overnight.

Xie Xi could clear it up with one button. What could the underwater people use to clean it up?

He was just cleaning up the third pile of garbage when the fourth prince's cold voice was heard behind him. "Didn't I tell you to stop using this ability?"

Xie Xi turned and looked at the fourth prince. "Your Highness has cleared up the garbage before right?

How could Xie Xi not understand? The fourth prince said this because he must've experienced it a long time ago.

How could the royal family idly sit by and ignore the garbage hurting so many people?

They must've organized to clean up the garbage but as the fourth prince said, it was useless to clean up. Soon, new garbage would appear. On the contrary, the land people became more fearless because the garbage was cleaned up.

The fourth prince sneered, scorn in his eyes.

Xie Xi stated, "You have been sick because you used this medicine."

The fourth prince wasn't sick but he was really injured. Xie Xi was hurt despite getting rid of the garbage with one button. The fourth prince had to use ordinary methods to clean up the garbage and the damage must be greater. The medicine could treat the wounds but it had the side effect of fatigue. The fourth prince…

Xie Xi didn't think about how much the seabed people paid in order to clean up the garbage, only for it to pile up again. How desperate would they feel?

The fourth prince had no expression on his face. "Thus, don't do this useless work anymore."

Xie Xi's throat was tight and his mouth full of bitterness.

The fourth prince glanced at Xie Xi and whispered, "There is a flaw in your ability."

Xie Xi couldn't react. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

The fourth prince's lips curved, smiling in a fierce and paranoid manner. "The land people are the biggest garbage. Why not let them all disappear!"

Xie Xi was violently shocked and sweat dripped down his back.

"Let's go." The fourth prince took Xie Xi's hand. "I will send you back. Don't use this ability anymore. It can't help anyone and will bring you trouble."

Xie Xi heard these words and his chest heated up as he held onto the fourth prince's hands. "Your Highness, can you take me to the land?"

The fourth prince was slightly startled.

Xie Xi told him, "I have never been to the land. Can you take me to see it?"

The fourth prince raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to do?"

"I have my own way of paying them back."

The fourth prince's pupils shrank.

He didn't ask again. He just held Xie Xi's hand and stated, "The shore is very hot. If you can't bear it, stay close to me."

Then he rushed off at a very fast speed, taking Xie Xi up to the sea.

Xie Xi knew what it was like on the shore but he wouldn't stay on the shore for long. It was just a temporary thing.

After a while, they left the see. Thanks to the hot air, his whole chest was hot. He sent Roast Pork Bun a look.

Roast Pork Bun didn't know what Roast Pork Bun was planning but he understood this look was to have him search around.

Roast Pork Bun flew up and watched for a while. Then he came back and reported, "There is no one on the beach!"

Xie Xi blinked and Roast Pork Bun hung onto his collar again.

The fourth prince asked him, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Xi explained, "In fact, I lied to Your Highness before. My ability isn't to eliminate garbage but to collect it."

The fourth prince frowned. "Collect? What do you mean?"

Xie Xi opened the items bar, looked at the 550,000 tons of rubbish and spoke lightly, "It's like this…" Then he poured the rubbish back onto the land.

This scene was amazing. Countless rubbish poured out of Pandora's Box, madly pilling up on the beach and along the entire coast.

This garbage piled up and became a shocking garbage mountain!

The fourth prince looked stunned and couldn't recover his spirit for a while.

Xie Xi glanced at his side task progress bar. Sure enough, he took out the garbage and the progress fell from 55% to 0%.

His work yesterday and today were in vain but he felt no regrets.

Xie Xi suggested, "It is useless to clean up the garbage. Then shouldn't we give them back the garbage they discarded?"

Pampering would only give birth to greater evil. Appropriate punishment was to let them see what they had done!

A flame of hope was ignored in the fourth prince's grey eyes that still seemed like a tomb. "You…"

His voice trembled and he couldn't speak.

Xie Xi whispered, "I understand Your Highness' mind. You hate the land people and want to kill them but war is the worst way to solve the problem. In the end, both sides will lose. You love your people and don't want them to jump from one fire pit to another fire pit."

The fourth prince was shocked and his thin lips became a straight line.

Xie Xi looked up at him. "Can I help you? We will return the garbage and use it to drive public opinion on land. They will think they have angered the gods and spontaneously think about their own behaviour."

This was the best solution that Xie Xi could think of.

War wasn't going to solve the problem.

It would intensify the contradiction between the people of the land and the sea and cause both sides to fall into a disaster.

The underwater people must've thought of this method but they couldn't do it like Xie Xi. He easily collected garbage and easily returned ti.

This type of instantaneous behaviour was the most incomprehensible and inspiring thing.

The fourth prince's spirit finally returned. His brow furrowed as he whispered, "This is… just a cure for the symptoms and not the root cause."

He said this but the white progress bar on Xie Xi's side rose to 13% in one breath.

Xie Xi smiled.

The fourth prince couldn't look away. "Let's go, your skin will be hurt soon." The air on the shore was really deadly to merpeople and Xie Xi was indeed uncomfortable.

The fourth prince held Xie Xi's hand and took him back to the sea.

Xie Xi was comfortably wrapped in the sea when he heard the fourth prince's voice, "You aren't allowed to collect garbage alone."

Xie Xi looked up at him.

"This is our secret. Don't tell anyone, do you understand?"

Xie Xi smiled. "Is Your Highness protecting me?"

The fourth prince trembled, "You don't know the land people. If you let them know your ability, you will be imprisoned for life."

Xie Xi was a land person and definitely knew them.

He found that this prince fish was very cute and said, "Yes, I'll listen to Your Highness."

The white progress bar whizzed to 16%.

Xie Xi found it funny but didn't dare to laugh. Wasn't this person too pure? Or was the big designer actually pure?

Um…

Xie Xi retracted this idea and refused to believe it. X was an extreme pervert, there was no mistake!
