That night, Chen stared at the rainy night outside the window, afraid that if he fell asleep, the rain was falling and the house would be flooded without knowing it.

Not long after that, he fell asleep...

Although he just yawned and felt a little sleepy, he wouldn't really fall asleep.

[Master, don't worry, this is one of the manifestations of mimic synchronization, don't worry. 】The treasure chest said.

"..."

[Also, the earth is not like Little Man, it is protected by an atmosphere.When the meteorite falls, it will be blocked and burned by the atmosphere first.Most of the time, they burn up in the air.Only a very small number of meteorites can reach the earth...] The treasure chest slowly transmits information and popular science for him.

Well, forget about the meteorite.

Chen looked out the window again.It's been raining non-stop, and outside... the whole city is submerged.

[That's because the rainfall exceeds the load capacity of the city's drainage system. ] Treasure Box quickly said, [As far as I know, city n suffers from waterlogging every summer. This year's rainfall is concentrated, and the flooded area has expanded.But the owner need not worry, the earthlings have their own rescue organization. 】

Chen looked at the water, still a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Lao Chen didn't leave the car today. He said that the deep water would damage the car, so he decided to rest at home for two days.This made Chen feel a little relieved.

The stagnant water is getting deeper and deeper, and the residents on the first floor have already evacuated, leaving only the residents on the upper floors.Old Chen hoarded a lot of food, and he also hoarded water with foresight, so he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Chen still paid attention to the portion size, and quietly reduced his food intake to save food.

From time to time, he looked out from the window sill and saw that on the flooded streets outside, official and private rescue boats were wandering around, looking for people who might be trapped, and delivering food to residents in need.

Chen is free and has nothing to do, and really wants to go down to help.He is not afraid of water at all.

But Treasure Chest disagrees.

[The master should abide by the principles of interstellar travelers and be a qualified observer and explorer on other planets, but try to avoid interfering in the internal affairs of the local indigenous people so as not to interfere with the development of the planet.What's more, the disaster in city n has been reported by many media, and any abnormal behavior of the owner can easily be photographed. 】

Chen could only sigh, and silently put away the umbrella.

【Master should believe in the abilities of the people on Earth. 】The treasure box said again: 【Earth people have multiplied on this planet for tens of thousands of years. They have a strong ability to adapt and have their own wisdom to deal with dangers. 】

"But……"

[There is only one master, no matter how powerful he is, there are so many people on earth, he cannot be saved at once.In the future, there may be even worse situations. At that time, what should the master do? 】

Chen received more information in his mind, tornado, tsunami, volcanic eruption...

In his opinion, those nouns are so unfamiliar, and the scene is inconspicuous, but the people on the earth suffered heavy casualties in the past—the houses were washed away, the trees were broken, and countless people cried for help, but even the cars were engulfed by the torrent. Go, there is no room for struggle...

Chen was terrified.

Treasure Chest always likes to scare him.

Lao Chen was different, he kept reassuring him that he was fine.

"The early warning of the flood in City N is quite early. Everyone is prepared, and the rescue is well organized."

"Let's just stay here and just follow the instructions."

"It's fine if I'm here, Xiaochen is going to read a book and divert his attention."

So Chen was persuaded at once, and went to read the book obediently.

Books are magical creations that can store knowledge, unfold worlds one by one, and calm people's minds.

Chen has now learned the model of the earthlings, and slowly flipped through it.Lao Chen's son has a very rich collection of books, covering everything from astronomy and geography to history and mythology.

The more he looked at it, the more amazing it became, the paper and words were so well matched.The treasure chest also said that the paper was made from trees.

The combination of trees, books, and words is even more wonderful.

Of course, the earth story recorded above is also very wonderful.

Chen was inexplicably a little envious.He doesn't have his own words, and his communication with the treasure chest is all through consciousness, without any symbols.If it had to be expressed, it would probably be some strange dotted line fluctuations.

His story is all recorded in the event book.

Because there are no trees on the mother planet, and no one knows that trees can make paper.If he knew paper earlier, he would be happy to use it to record.

However, the treasure box said: 【Paper cannot be stored for too long, it will rot over time, and it is also very fragile. It is afraid of water, fire, and many things. 】

"Then how did the people on Earth record the story to the present?"

[Because at first they were carved on stone, wood, and utensils, and after there were many people, they could be passed on orally. 】

That's right, there are really many people on Earth!That's why I wrote down so many stories.

Chen sighed, reading one book after another, tirelessly, just...

Looking at it, I suddenly read that an asteroid hit the earth.

"..."

For another, I read the Great Flood.

"..."

He changed another one without giving up, and read... Pandora.

In the story, the gods created a beautiful woman and gave it to humans. On her wedding with humans, they gave her a box...

He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even notice the treasure chest called several times.

Finally, after being hit by a treasure chest, he heard it, closed the book and asked, "What?"

【Master, the rain has stopped. 】The treasure chest said. [It won't rain tomorrow. 】

Chen happily put down the book and ran to share the news with Lao Chen.

"Really, when the water recedes, let's go back to our hometown to have a look in two days." Old Chen said while stroking his head. "I'm a little worried about the old house in the country."

Chen was quite looking forward to it. Old Chen said that his hometown had land, which had not been taken care of for many years.Then he can grow many things!

However, the rain stopped, but the water receded very slowly, and the water was still not shallow the next day.

On the third day, the water still hadn't finished, Chen couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to go out to have a look.

His eyesight is good, even if the stagnant water is muddy, he can see the underwater situation clearly.At this glance, it was found that something was wrong. Part of the sewer opening in the street and the manhole cover had been blocked.

"Treasure chest, I need all the locations of the sewer entrances." Chen couldn't stand and watch any longer.He wants to open all the sewers so that the water can drain away quickly.

Fortunately, Treasure Box has no objection this time and is very cooperative.

Chen was not the only one who discovered the problem. After the water level dropped, some enthusiastic citizens began to spontaneously clean up the debris in the drain, leaving only the manhole covers that were too old for ordinary people to shake.

However, Chen is very simple.Covered by stagnant water, passers-by only thought he was looking for something in the water, not knowing that he secretly worked hard and violently removed the manhole cover.

In order to avoid being caught by the public surveillance, he was later found in a video call. He also accepted the advice of the treasure box, put on a mask, and then rode a small electric donkey to walk around the city.

He walked all the way to pry the manhole cover, and recorded the scene of waterlogging in the event book.

This is probably one of his unforgettable experiences in aliens.

"Treasure chest, we must make a good sewer when we return to our home planet." He said deeply.

【…】

【Master, there is no water on the home planet. 】

"Didn't you bring a lot of water from the water star?"

[But we don't have cities, and we won't be flooded. 】

This is... Chen thought seriously again.

Treasure Chest is really worried that he will say something like "then build a city".

Fortunately, he thought about it for a long time, and just said: "If there is a sewer on the parent planet, I will definitely check the cover every day."

Treasure Chest: […]

The owner is purely addicted to prying the manhole cover!

But this is true again, the sewers really need to be kept clear, the manhole covers must be covered at ordinary times, rainy days...

Wait, why did it start thinking about the sewer problem?They don't have a sewer!

Treasure Box felt that he must have been led astray by the owner.That does not work!

It tried hard to change the topic, but another search result popped up on the map, and it couldn't help reporting: [500 meters ahead, turn left, there is a manhole cover under the stagnant water. 】

【…】

Forget it, let him go, there are enough manhole covers on earth for him to check for a while.
