I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

At night, the dock market is piled high with fish and shrimp that have been caught.

Amidst the pervasive stench, several gray shadows could be seen scurrying out with a hissing sound.

But the next moment, a red aiming dot appeared on the head of one of the mice.

Almost at the same moment the infrared beam was aimed, Li Chang'an's fingers pulled the matrix of red high-powered springs to their fullest extent.

With a flick of the finger, the bullet shot through the air.

Under the powerful kinetic energy launched by the spring assembly, the mouse suddenly had a brilliant idea.

The other rats, seeing this, scurried away in fright, but Li Chang'an, with his infrared sight, didn't need to adjust the trajectory or re-aim.

After a burst of fire, the last mouse also died under the compound slingshot.

Young man, you have successfully slain the 451st rat demon. Your fame has spread far and wide, striking fear into the hearts of the rat demon race.

Young man, you have been awarded the low-ranking title "Hunter".

【Title Effects: ① Improved Archery Skill, increasing the chance of hitting prey by 30% ② Hunting Intuition, increasing the success rate of locating prey by 30%】

The weathered narration, which I hadn't heard for a long time, finally rang in my ears.

Li Chang'an was overjoyed, never expecting such an unexpected gain while completing his rat-hunting mission.

He donned the new title of "Hunter," and the next moment, Li Chang'an felt some subtle changes occurring within his body.

But because this change is so natural, only by carefully observing it can one perceive the difference from the past.

For example, with the slingshot he was holding, Li Chang'an subconsciously adjusted the angle and force of the draw to make the shooting more accurate.

Furthermore, many special cues in the surrounding environment are highlighted by the senses, deepening the impression.

Some previously unnoticed mouse paw prints, lint, and a faint, fishy smell...

Following these clues, Li Chang'an slowly walked to the entrance of the alley on the east side.

boom--

Without needing to aim carefully, a rat that had been missed and was hiding was shot dead at the base of the wall.

"This is the power of a name, it's incredible...like a real superpower."

Li Chang'an's confidence immediately increased.

He had been about to turn back home when he had killed 450 rats, since he could no longer find any new rats nearby.

But now, with this "rat radar"-like hunting instinct, Li Chang'an is even more motivated and has regained his energy to continue clearing out the rat horde.

So Li Chang'an continued his sweeping along the coastline of Victoria Harbour.

In just one hour, he had hunted down over a hundred pests, almost equal to his harvest the previous night.

When Li Chang'an came to his senses, he realized that he had arrived at Sai Wan Mei on Hong Kong Island.

This place is also known as Kennedy Town, named after Kennedy, the seventh British Governor of Hong Kong.

During the Japanese invasion, it was renamed Sannodai, but after the Japanese army was driven back, the British governor changed the name back.

However, no matter how these foreigners change it, the locals still prefer to call it Sai Wan Wei.

West End, a light industrial area planned by the British Governor, prospered due to its dockside cargo transportation.

Over the decades, numerous dyeing and textile factories, electroplating plants, and hardware processing plants have been built, making it the most densely populated industrial park in the West Ring area.

As Li Chang'an approached the pier at the end of West Ring Road, a pungent and strong chemical smell hit him.

After his senses were greatly enhanced by the title of "Hunter," the smell was so strong that it almost brought tears to his eyes.

Li Chang'an quickly dropped the title of "hunter" and looked out at the sea under the moonlight. He saw that the sea surface was strangely shimmering under the moonlight, with red, blue, purple and black mixed together, all of which was chemical waste!

He frowned, and a rare look of anger appeared in his usually calm eyes.

Clearly, this is a case of a shady factory owner secretly opening the sluice gates in the middle of the night to discharge sewage into the sea!

The narrator's voice spoke again, and perhaps influenced by Li Chang'an's mood, this time the narrator's voice was tinged with anger.

[Unscrupulous merchants, driven by greed, pollute the sea with poison, harming the lives of ordinary people. If this continues, the fish and shrimp in the nearshore waters will die out, poisoning the coastal population for generations!]

The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people; the lesser heroes protect the peace of their region. Young people walking the path of chivalry, having witnessed such heinous acts, how can you stand idly by?

[Assignment: Prevent poison from flowing into the sea, Innate Qi +0.5!]

When Li Chang'an saw the reward for this job, he immediately held his breath.

He had been working tirelessly day and night to catch rats for so many days, but he still hadn't collected enough rat heads to get the 0.3 points of innate Qi. Now, this job of preventing the poison from flowing into the sea could actually reward him with 0.5 points of innate Qi!

That's equivalent to him killing a thousand harmful rats!

It seems that these black factory owners are the real scourges on the people. They are the true rat demons, growing up on the people's hard-earned money and spreading diseases, poisoning the local area!

Compared to the ruthless and brutal Eagle Claw Sect leader in the narrator's eyes, these black factory bosses are even worse.

Li Chang'an recalled that when he was a student at Chongming Middle School, he had overheard the children of factory owners chatting about it.

Those heavily polluting factories would secretly discharge wastewater at night using pre-dug open and closed channels in the workshops.

These open and covered channels connect to the workshop's sewage outlet at one end and lead directly to the sea, rivers, or even wellheads at the other.

By simply opening the baffle at the sewage outlet, gravity from above allows all the wastewater in the plant to flow into the running water, thus cleaning up the plant's wastewater without spending a penny.

Even if nearby residents complain to the government, the factory can simply pay some money to smooth things over and the matter will be over.

Ultimately, because the environment and water sources near the factory were all destroyed, the residents were forced to move away.

Li Chang'an recalled the smug expressions on the faces of those second-generation factory owners when they talked about this, and a flame ignited in his heart.

He forced himself to suppress his nausea, put the "hunter" title back on, and then, smelling the strong odor of chemical wastewater, began to carefully search the riverbank for hidden sewage outlets.

Half an hour later, guided by his hunting instincts, Li Chang'an found several spots.

These sewage outlets are all made of cement pipes that are only 30 to 40 centimeters wide; they are not very large.

Li Chang'an smashed whatever he could, directly breaking the pipes so that the cement fragments would block the entrance.

For the more sturdy ones, he found several large stones, covered them with mud, and used them to seal the pipe openings completely, leaving no gaps.

The sewage in these damaged and blocked drainage ditches cannot be discharged and will soon backflow into the ditches.

In the end, it will all flow back into the workshops of those unscrupulous factories.

By the time the workers arrived at work the next day, it was estimated that every machine in the workshop, worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, had been damaged by the chemical wastewater and could not be repaired; they would have to be scrapped.

"This will make you shady factory owners reap what you sow."

[Task: Prevent poison from flowing into the sea, Primordial Qi +0.5! (Completed)]

Young man, you have protected the water safety of the people in this region, and you have taken another step closer to becoming a true hero.

Li Chang'an spent another two hours blocking all the sewage outlets he could find before leaving.

Perhaps the next day, all the factory owners in the Sai Wan industrial area will hear a sharp, piercing sound when they see their workshops flooded with sewage.

Li Chang'an was actually quite disappointed that he couldn't witness this scene in person.
