Su Jing walked into the Garbage Station and saw a huge vortex in the sky, as was typical. A large quantity of garbage was being dumped down, and under the influence of the station’s magnetic field, it was suspended in mid-air.
The garbage was then sorted and gradually fell into piles. Su Jing noticed tattered ancient costumes, antique tattered tables and chairs, broken swords, and other objects scattered throughout the area.
These items appeared to be from an ancient universe, though it was difficult to determine which one at a glance.
After a while, the garbage stopped being dumped and the vortex slowly disappeared. There was no sound of conversation from the other side of the vortex as usual. There hasn’t been any sound for a long time now.
It seemed that the person on the other side may have given up on this vortex and was simply continuing to experiment out of habit.
Su Jing hoped that this would continue, as he feared that one day the person might become overwhelmed and throw extremely terrible garbage through the vortex.
Therefore, despite the relative calm of this period, Su Jing did not dare to let his guard down. He knew that relying on others was not a reliable strategy and that he needed to have control of the situation in order to feel secure.
Su Jing walked over to a pile of green garbage, which was made up of various plants and small insects. This pile had been classified as containing lifeforms, but upon closer inspection, Su Jing saw that many of the plants and insects were already dead.
It appeared that they had been crushed or otherwise damaged during the sorting process.
Su Jing felt a sense of sadness and disgust at the sight of the lifeless creatures, knowing that they had once been living beings with their own unique experiences and characteristics.
Su Jing noticed that the insects included large earthworms, ants, and some unknown species. Among the plants, the most noticeable was a huge flower that was as tall as a person.
It had branches and leaves that spread out in all directions, somewhat resembling a cycad tree, but with more slender and softer features. The flower had a bright red center and emitted a faint fragrance.
However, many of its branches and leaves were broken, and its petals were also damaged, likely due to the collision with other garbage during the dumping process.
It was fortunate that the delicate flower had only suffered minor injuries, as it was possible that it could have been crushed by stones during the dumping process.
“Should I try these insects first?”
Su Jing asked Little Li and A’Li to catch a few mice and bring them back, as was their usual procedure. He then took the dead insects and fed them to the mice one by one to see if there would be any reaction.
Unfortunately, after eating the insects, the mice showed no response. Su Jing was disappointed but not surprised, as it was common for his experiments to yield negative results. He would have to continue the experiment to see a solution to his problem.
Su Jing went to observe the live insects and noticed a group of large black ants with shiny black hair. They were as big as his little finger. He released some bullet ants that he had raised in Spirit Beast bags and let them fight.
The bullet ants were quickly defeated and killed by the giant ants within seconds. Su Jing also had a mouse be bitten by a giant ant. The mouse became agitated with pain, foaming at the mouth, and passed out.
The killing power of the giant ant was far beyond Su Jing’s expectations. However, the mouse did not die immediately. The ant’s venom was much more toxic than that of the giant centipedes from the Renegade Immortal Universe.
“I don’t know what universe these ants are from. They’re incredibly powerful, but I’m not sure how they could be used. They’re certainly dangerous, and ants are known for their high reproductive rate. If they were to escape and establish a colony, they could potentially cause species invasions and seriously damage the ecological balance of the earth,” Su Jing thought to himself.
He knew that it was important to handle these dangerous lifeforms with caution and take steps to prevent any accidents or leaks. He made a mental note to research the giant ants further and see if there was any way to safely utilize their strength without causing any harm.
Su Jing walked over to the pile of earthworms and saw that they were also very large. Some of them were as long as his palm and the largest one is more than 30 centimeters long, and its whole body was tender red.
To be honest, the way they wriggled and rolled in a pile was rather unsettling to look at. Su Jing remembered catching earthworms for fun when he was a child and he even went fishing with them but seeing such a huge pile of earthworms made him hesitate to do anything with them.
They seemed too disgusting and he wasn’t sure if he could bring himself to handle them.
Su Jing conducted various experiments on the earthworms and found that they were not much different from ordinary earthworms, except that they were larger. When fed to mice, they did not elicit any reaction and the mice did not become aggressive.
The only noticeable difference was that the earthworms burrowed into the ground at an extremely fast speed, at least ten times faster than ordinary earthworms. It was almost as if they were a group of expert earthworms.
When placed in a pot of relatively hard soil, a few of the earthworms could make it all soft within a few minutes. Su Jing was intrigued by their burrowing ability but couldn’t think of any practical use for it at the moment.
“These earthworms are somewhat useful, but their applications are very limited,” Su Jing said to himself while feeling a little disappointed. He continued to experiment with the insects but was unable to find anything particularly valuable.
Su Jing placed all the insects into the ecology space and turned his attention to the plants. He noticed a particularly large flower at first but, upon closer inspection, he couldn’t see any peculiarities.
He even fed the broken parts of the flower to mice, but nothing happened. He also experimented with several small grass plants, but again, he found nothing special.
This did not surprise Su Jing as it was common for him to not get anything from his experiments. He would have to continue searching for something useful.
The rest of the plants were either seeds or small seedlings that were too small to observe in detail. Su Jing simply placed them in the Live Soil and used the skeleton head to speed up the time.
The seedlings grew taller quickly and the ungerminated seeds germinated quickly. Su Jing watched with interest as the plants developed and grew, hoping that he might find something useful among them.
