"How did he embarrass you?"

Zhou Mingyu looked at his cousin with curiosity.

59

"Is that the point?" Zhou Cheng glanced at him irritably.

Zhou Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Brother, are you planning to hire someone to teach him a lesson?"

"Clean up?" Zhou Cheng smiled and said slowly, "This is a civilized society, a society governed by law. Do you think it's still like my father's generation, where people compete based on who has the bigger fist?"

That's so low-class!

These days, everyone's using their brains!

It's all about the law!

Do you understand?

Zhou Mingyu shook his head and honestly said, "I don't understand."

"Heh, you're still too young." Zhou Cheng took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. "I'll teach you today how to mess with someone without actually doing it."

The best way is to let him destroy himself.

Zhou Mingyu was completely confused. "What do you mean?"

Instead of answering directly, Zhou Cheng asked, "Do you know why he's so popular online right now?"

'

"So what if he's good with a slingshot?" Zhou Mingyu scoffed. "What's so great about that?"

"Wrong!"

Zhou Cheng said, "There are many bloggers who play with slingshots at night, but few are as popular as him!"

Zhou Mingyu frowned. "Could it be because all the videos he filmed were about catching rats, fish, and alligator gar?"

"Yes! That's why he's so popular."

Zhou Cheng smacked his lips and said with narrowed eyes, "The rats, cleaner fish, and alligator gars he killed were all harmful species that everyone hates!"

When people see these things, they often feel the urge to kill them.

So the more he fought, the more people supported him, praising him as some kind of environmental guardian.

At this point, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face. "But what if one day he's not hunting these harmful species, but nationally protected animals?"

Zhou Mingyu's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly understood.

"Brother, you mean—"

Zhou Cheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I have asked a friend in an environmental organization to keep sending private messages to Xu Zhiyi, under the pretense of providing him with some clues about alien species."

However, Xu Zhiyi didn't seem to check his private messages and didn't reply until last night, when he finally added my friend as a friend!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. "You mean—"

"That's right, my friend sent him a lot of clues, but besides invasive species, there were also some 'protected' animals mixed in!"

Zhou Cheng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Think about it, he's so popular right now, he'll definitely want to strike while the iron is hot and shoot as much exciting footage as possible. Once he sees the clues we've given him," he certainly won't miss the opportunity.

If he kills those animals with a slingshot and then uploads the video to the internet, he's doomed!

Illegally hunting or killing protected animals can result in hefty fines and confiscation of tools, or, in serious cases, constitute a criminal offense, punishable by up to three years in prison!

Hey, even if he doesn't get sentenced, his career is already ruined!

Zhou Mingyu was deeply moved, but also somewhat worried.

Will he take the bait?

Do you understand animal protection laws?

"don't know."

"That settles it!"

Zhou Cheng chuckled and said confidently, "He's just a high school student like you. What does he know about animal protection laws? He only knows that these things can increase his followers and allow him to make money by making videos."

And I've already had someone investigate him.

This kid comes from a poor family; his grandmother is still in a nursing home, and there are many places where they need money!

He makes videos to make money, so there's no reason for him not to go!

Zhou Mingyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Brother, that was a brilliant move."

"Of course."

Zhou Cheng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"To kill without shedding blood, that's real skill."

Zhou Mingyu leaned back in his seat, and his mood suddenly improved.

Hsu Chih-yi, aren't you living the high life?

Isn't that impressive?

Soon, it will be your turn to cry.

Xu Zhiyi arrived home on the night bus at exactly 11 o'clock.

He rarely gets home early, but he's not in a hurry to rest.

I went to the bathroom to wash up first, then returned to my attic and took out my phone to check the messages I had received during the day.

There weren't many messages; they were mostly from people I knew.

For example, the landlord told him to go home early.

Xu Zhiyuan boasted to him that he had acquired a new set of equipment.

Tang Qingxi also mentioned that there was a comic convention in Shanghai this weekend and asked if he wanted to go together.

He replied to each one individually.

He has absolutely no interest in anime conventions or anything like that.

Tang Qingxi replied immediately, asking him if he wanted to go to the music festival.

Xu Zhiyi has absolutely no musical talent and is even less interested in it.

Finally, Tang Qingxi replied with a "disgusted" emoji.

Xu Zhiyi smiled and realized that someone else had also sent him messages during the day, dozens of them at once.

This person was the "Wuxi Environmental Guardian" he had added last night.

He opened the chat interface—

[Wuxi Environmental Guardian: Hi Butcher, I'm Xiao Zhou from the Environmental Volunteer Association. I didn't expect you to actually add me!]

[Wuxi Environmental Guardian: Our association has a group chat for volunteers who care about Wuxi's ecology. We often share clues we discover.]

[Wuxi Environmental Guardian: We've recently received many reports of people releasing animals, some of which are quite frightening. We'd like to ask for your help in taking a look.]

Xu Zhiyi clicked on the picture.

The first picture shows a black and white snake, as thick as an arm, coiled in the green belt of a residential community. The caption reads: "This is a venomous snake found in a residential community in Binhu District. It is initially suspected to be a banded krait illegally kept by a resident of the community."

The second picture shows an alligator snapping turtle larger than a washbasin, with a jagged carapace. The caption reads: "This is a real alligator snapping turtle found in Jiulihe Park. It's extremely aggressive and almost bit a child's hand! It's probably been abandoned here."

The third picture is of a hairy spider about the size of a palm, captioned: "This is a Brazilian wandering spider found in a factory warehouse in Huishan District. It's said to be highly venomous! Someone has already been bitten and is currently in the ICU!"

Below are many more pictures, all of them of various dangerous animals.

-

Most of them are invasive species, while a small portion are native poisonous creatures.

Xu Zhiyi frowned slightly.

He even saw a cobra swim under a pool table in the neighborhood; it was at least a meter long!

What's chilling is that two children were playing pool less than two meters away from the cobra, completely unaware of it.

Too dangerous!

If a child accidentally steps on it or goes to retrieve a ball near it, something terrible could happen!

At that moment, the familiar semi-transparent blue panel popped up:

[Detection has revealed that the demon race has dispatched an advance force to infiltrate human cities. Their movements are elusive and their forms varied, indicating their intention to establish outposts deep within human territory in preparation for a subsequent large-scale invasion!]

[Current map mission: Players are required to immediately slay or suppress the demon vanguard that has infiltrated the city]

[Mission Objective: Slay/Suppress the Vanguard of the Demon Race (0/20)]
