Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

The first graders’ task is to clean these experimental area buildings.

The entire Base No. 12 uses protective shield technology, which is the same transparent shield used to isolate the sound of the audience on the national superpower competition stage.

It uses solar energy as energy and surrounds the base at all times, isolating it from the influence of wind and sand outside.

However, the protective effect is not complete. Sometimes when the wind is particularly strong, some sand will inevitably blow in. Therefore, someone is needed to clean up the sand every one or two days.

In addition to this, there is the cleaning of plants outside the experimental area. Most plants cannot survive for more than a week, so removing the dead plants and planting new plants is the daily work of the staff in the experimental area.

Given that the number of students is too large, far exceeding the usual number of staff of only a few hundred, each person is only given a little bit of the work, which does not meet the school's requirements. Therefore, Base No. 12 has added additional cleaning work on the outer walls of the experimental building.

After all, the buildings in Base No. 12 are all hemispherical, especially the experimental area buildings. In order to allow the plants inside to obtain sufficient sunlight, a full set of glass walls are used, which makes them difficult to clean and requires special machines.

Only during a few special time periods each year, when the transportation of materials is increased, will the base be mobilized for a major cleanup to prevent the base from running out of energy after the machines are started at high power.

However, the students of Sungkyunkwan High School do not consume any energy and everything is done manually, so there is no need to worry about these things and you can safely leave the task to them.

The experimental area is in the outermost circle, with a total of 52 buildings of all sizes. They are divided evenly according to the class order, and each class assigns tasks on their own.

Fortunately, Xia Liuying only needed to notify the mission objectives and did not need to make arrangements for each class, so she could quickly return to her own class.

As the deputy monitor, Tang Ying had already assigned tasks to everyone during the time Xia Liuying was away, so Xia Liuying didn't have to worry about making the arrangements anymore.

It can't be said that it is a fight for power, but more of a tacit understanding that allows Xia Liuying to entrust some tasks to Tang Ying without worry while doing other things.

As for Tang Ying, the biggest reason why he was willing to be subordinate to Xia Liuying and only take on the task of deputy was that he had measured the gap between them.

It is not an easy task to suppress Xia Liuying. In addition to her own strength, there are also her friends.

Jin Linglong doesn't like to compete for the top spot due to her personality, but that doesn't mean she will give up her power. Xia Liuying, as her friend, will naturally be her ally, so she will help Xia Liuying secure the top spot, just to make herself feel more relaxed.

There is also Qiu Xiaoyun. Her family background is not as good as Jin Linglong and Tang Ying, but it should not be underestimated. The most important thing is that she does not have those complicated thoughts. As long as Xia Liuying is bullied, she will help Xia Liuying at all costs. This is a purity that others cannot do.

And other people involved with Xia Liuying.

The competitor that Tang Ying faces is not the ordinary girl who has strength but no background, but the top student Xia Liuying who has countless helpers.

After considering these things clearly, Tang Ying naturally determined what approach could bring him the greatest benefit and would not lose these due to some face disputes.

……

Although there are protective shields to keep out a lot of wind and sand, there is still scorching hot wind from time to time, penetrating from unknown corners and blowing on everyone's face.

The sun above their heads also shined mercilessly on everyone.

Just standing in the sun, I can feel the water in my body being lost.

Fortunately, there is an experimental building next to the first-year students. If they can’t stand the heat, they can go inside and find a corner out of the sun to take shelter.

The one-way glass used in the experimental area building has a layer of one-way glass that cannot see inside, and the position and angle of light transmittance and light opacity can be adjusted. In addition to plants, there are many machines inside that cannot be exposed to the sun for a long time, which gives students the option of shading.

Of course, you can also use the rules and abilities to change the body temperature around you and reduce the heat, just like Tang Ying did. However, it is not difficult to carry out this simple and narrow-range operation until the evening.

He can also summon an energy shield on his head like Zuo Chen. Although the energy shield is transparent, he covered it with his school uniform jacket, which is also a genius.

Du Liyue used the story to summon a dark cloud, which covered her head. Qiu Xiaoyun hid in the maze of the silver Rubik's Cube, and the cleaning tools were waved outside through the entrance...

Everyone took advantage of their special abilities to make themselves more comfortable in this environment. Even Xia Liuying chose to transform into a beast, covering the surface of her skin with a layer of snake scales to lower her body temperature.

Only Jin Linglong showed helplessness. As a user of fire-type abilities, using her abilities would only increase the temperature nearby. Fortunately, she herself could withstand high temperatures better, so even if she did nothing, she was more comfortable in the desert than others.

Many work tasks sound easy, but are actually very troublesome.

For example, the simplest task is to clean up the sand. This is not like sweeping the floor inside the house. Instead, a batch of sand close to the desert is artificially adjusted in the original desert environment outside. What is cleaned up is the sand blown from the sand where the plants are planted, so as not to confuse the soil composition and reduce the survival rate of the plants, although there is not much to begin with.

In other words, what is placed in front of many students is a pile of sand and a pile of sand.

It’s just that this pile of sand can be used to grow vegetables, but that pile of sand cannot, so they have to be separated.

In the past, staff in the experimental area could only push high-power machines and screen over and over again through mechanical and manual methods.

Now that we have a group of students with special abilities acting as tools, energy that can be saved will naturally be saved. Students with earth-related special abilities in each class will be given priority in this area.

Some classes do not have earth-related abilities, so they can only rely on abilities from other areas, such as some telekinetic abilities. As long as they can distinguish the difference between the two types of sand, sorting them is not troublesome, but the process is cumbersome and time-consuming.

The next step is to remove the withered and dead plants in the experimental fields, which is also not an easy task.

Students with plant-related abilities can easily distinguish the status of each plant, but not every class has students with plant-related abilities. Those who are not good at plants can only use their ability energy to perceive and communicate.

Otherwise, those plants that look vibrant and growing well but actually have dead roots, and those plants that look lifeless and have withered branches and leaves but whose roots are still struggling tenaciously, will teach these students anew not to judge people or plants by their appearance.

The most difficult task is probably the cleaning of the outer layer of the experimental area building. In order to ensure that the plants inside receive good sunlight, cleanliness and brightness are necessary requirements.

But each building is connected by a hemispherical arc, which makes it extremely troublesome to go up and down.

Of course, considering the physical fitness of Sungkyunkwan High School students, these are minor problems, so cleanliness is the most important issue.

Just like the outside world, can you just fill a basin with water, wet a rag, add some cleaning supplies, and start wiping?

The basin of water evaporated in the sun not long after it was put there. The rag was still wet when it was taken out of the basin, but it was dry when it reached the top of the building. Even if you moved quickly, the rag would not have time to dry by the time you got up there, so you could only wipe it twice.

But how big is a building in the experimental area? There are three different sizes: large, medium and small. The largest is comparable to a football field, and the smallest is as big as a basketball court. How long will it take to clean it up bit by bit?

Some people get exhausted and panting just from mopping the floor at home, and that’s just a small space.

Therefore, Base No. 12 still provides some tools for the time being - specially customized storage functions can store large amounts of water, and the temperature-isolating structure prevents the water from evaporating easily.

Its shape is similar to a long cylinder with one end wrapped in deerskin cloth, and the moisture stored inside will continuously moisten the deerskin cloth.

Apart from the fact that each wiping tool is more than two meters long and more than half a meter wide in diameter, there are no other disadvantages.

After all, this thing was originally supposed to be installed on some large machines for use.

The students of Chengjun High School can only choose to carry these cleaning tools manually and rely on their strong physical fitness to walk on the smooth experimental area buildings and do the cleaning work.

At five o'clock in the evening, the dinner bell rang in the base cafeteria. Everyone looked up and found that they had just completed less than one-fifth of their goal. Their expressions were not very good.

It is one thing not to choose to do something, but it is another to do it but not do it well.

Before doing something, students at Sungkyunkwan High School may be picky and choose to refuse to accept it for various reasons, but once they choose to accept it, they will try their best to do their best whether they are willing or not.

The reason for this poor progress is that no one has done similar work before. Even Xia Liuying has no relevant experience.

There was only one staff member on site to provide guidance, and he was overwhelmed by the demands of everyone. They had no time to deal with all the problems, so most of the time they had to figure things out on their own, so naturally their progress was slow.

Another reason - these tasks were not originally intended to be completed by them within one day. Base No. 12 just randomly assigned some tasks to familiarize them with the transition to the desert environment. After these tasks are completed, the first-year students will have to follow the footsteps of the second and third graders and go to the greening transformation area.

Otherwise, where should we plant the trees for Arbor Day?

The first-year students, who were not in a pleasant atmosphere, returned to the base cafeteria. The second- and third-year students had not returned yet, so no one was in the mood to complain about the food in the cafeteria.

After a busy afternoon, everyone was satisfied to be able to sit in the cool cafeteria to eat and replenish their energy.

After the first-year students left the base cafeteria, the second- and third-year students appeared at the gate of the base, all of them looking exhausted.

The water supply at Base No. 12 is limited in time, so Xia Liuying took a few roommates to line up early. When the time came, the first group went in to take a shower, while those who arrived on time were isolated outside and formed a long line.

The men's and women's bathhouses are separated into two buildings with the same structure. There is a large changing room at the entrance and a row of lattice wardrobes with bathrobes provided by the base. You can take off your clothes and put on bathrobes, or you can walk in directly without wearing anything.

Listening to the conversation between two older female staff members passing by, I learned that these yukatas are actually specially prepared for the students of Sungkyunkwan High School.

Water is extremely precious in the desert, so basically everyone can only take a quick bath, which takes one or two minutes to drain the water and three to five minutes to scrub. It only takes a few minutes in total. There is really no need to change into a bathrobe.

Only these students need to change into yukata because they are too shy.

Those who arrived early, except Xia Liuying and the others, were mostly original staff members of the base. They were all adult sisters or aunts who took off their clothes without any shyness and walked in. Only a group of students had never experienced such an exciting scene. They all blushed and obediently changed into yukatas.

I followed the person in front of me and walked in. There were rows and rows of bathrooms, with partitions separating different faucets and a layer of waterproof cloth covering them. It was much better than most public baths in universities.

It also makes a group of students feel less ashamed.

On the contrary, the second and third grade students were rarely seen coming to take a shower. It seemed that they went back to their rooms directly after eating.

After taking a shower, Xia Liuying was still steamy. She took the time before going to bed to summarize the various situations of the first grade that afternoon and sent it to President Lu Yuanjun.

Thanks to the keen sense of smell brought by her animal transformation ability, Xia Liuying smelled the lingering smell of sand on President Lu Yuanjun as soon as she approached him.

It looked like some cleaning had been done, and the exterior was not as dusty as when it returned, but I don't know why it was not thoroughly cleaned.

Lu Yuanjun smelled the scent of shower gel with water vapor, looked up at Xia Liuying, whose hair was still a little wet, and his expression changed slightly.

When you look at the affectionate eyes of a dog, there is a depth that makes everyone who looks at it unable to help but sink into it, and even the air begins to emit a condensed atmosphere called love.

Xia Liuying couldn't help but take a step back with a confused expression. What did this expression, as if she had made some serious mistake, mean?

President Lu Yuanjun sighed slightly, "You... forget it, you will all learn your lesson next year."

? ? ? ?

Xia Liuying became more and more confused. Fortunately, President Lu Yuanjun was not the only one in the dormitory - even the president of the Student Union did not have the honor of having a personal dormitory. The only difference was probably that there was a desk in this dormitory.

Senior Wang Quan, who has the supernatural power of eagle eyes, probably doesn't like President Lu Yuanjun... He doesn't control his supernatural power well, causing the whole dormitory to be filled with a strange atmosphere. Have you ever thought about what tragedy will happen in the second half of the night if someone really can't control himself?

"This is a desert, junior." Senior Wang Quan emphasized the word "desert".
