Bai Shier is the 12th White Smoke Mushroom born in the Mushroom Forest.
Like other White Smoke Mushrooms, it has an innate rebellious mindset.
The more you forbid, the more I want to do it!
However, Sun Chonglai said, "Do whatever you want, as long as it's beneficial, I will support it. Nowadays, my vision and understanding can't keep up with this rapidly developing world, I need you young people to lead me forward."
The Bone Man Lord completely trusts it.
This made Bai Shier momentarily unable to find a point to rebel against.
In the end, it decided.
If you let me do anything, then I will do nothing!
I'll just be an ordinary primary school student!
Not long after, Bai Shier couldn't stand it anymore.
It had mastered all the school courses long ago, each class now just repeats known things, making it feel numb, as if it was stuck in the same day, looping over and over.
After a good period of inner struggle, Bai Shier made a new decision.
The period of being an ordinary primary school student ends.
I'm done pretending, I'm revealing my cards, I'm a genius!
It directly scored the highest marks in every subject, dominated Mushroom Forest Primary School, making other students gaze at it with awe.
Primary school no longer held any fun.
Bai Shier began searching for its own toys.
It went to the Program Department to serve as a programmer's assistant, went to the hospital to be a trainee for a while, then worked for the Agricultural Department in oil processing for a time, and ultimately settled in the Mushroom Laboratory, engaging long-term in mushroom cultivation and research.
The rebellious phase gradually passed.
Bai Shier realized.
There were many invention results in the company, but the follow-up development of these results was severely insufficient.
Whether it's Jade Soup, Flame Cup, Mushroom House, or refrigeration box, the updates and iterations have stagnated.
They were once the company's star products, but after being overshadowed by new inventions, old things received little attention. People were more enthusiastic about creating entirely new things, rather than further developing and upgrading existing ones.
In this regard, the glider, Floating Heart, and Electric Cat System did quite well.
The reason is that several chairmen keenly pushed these projects forward, so everyone put a lot of effort in that direction.
In fact, there are some lesser-known areas with potential to be tapped.
Bai Shier hybridized and cultivated the Yellow Giant Mushroom, developed the second-generation Mushroom House, which gave it great confidence.
"Your thinking is correct!"
Sun Chonglai highly praised it, "I hope you use your talent to draw everyone's attention back to them, to refocus on those seemingly ordinary things around us, and develop them further!"
The second-generation Mushroom House changed the lives of many people.
Many people expressed their gratitude when they met Bai Shier, saying that when they lived in old Mushroom Houses, they were often bitten by bugs hidden in the mushrooms, leading to fever and itching, scratching their skin to the point of festering, unable to sleep from the itch, and frequently going to the hospital to apply medication.
With the Yellow Giant Mushroom, which inherently carries trace toxins, it directly blocked bugs outside, solving the pain of these residents from the root.
"Thank you!"
"It really helped a lot!"
"You truly deserve to be the top of the Mushroom Forest Primary School's Three Geniuses!"
Everyone's sincere gratitude made Bai Shier feel very good.
However, this summer, it felt unprecedented pressure.
Because one of the Three Geniuses, Chen Ji, published the breeding method of the Floating Heart.
He raised the efficiency of the 1st generation Floating Heart from 1 float to 4 float, and the 2nd generation Floating Heart from 1.55 float to 7 float, single-handedly updated the entire company's Floating Hearts, improving the average efficiency by at least four times.
Chen Ji became the first primary school student to win first prize in the Wasteland Invention Award.
Bai Shier's Yellow Giant Mushroom only won second prize.
Additionally, Chen Ji formally joined the development team of the third-generation Floating Heart and participated in a top-secret project, seemingly related to deep cultivation of floating organisms.
Although this was not publicly announced, rumors suggested they had accomplished something extraordinary. It seems, through targeted cultivation, they underwent another round of deep upgrades to the Floating Heart.
In the past, Bai Shier's achievements overshadowed Chen Ji.
Currently, in terms of output, Chen Ji is ahead, with the gap between them further widening.
Bai Shier felt an unprecedented urgency.
It began to look for new goals everywhere.
Unfortunately, mushroom cultivation itself is a long-cycle biological field. Whether a hybridized mushroom is usable or has any fatal flaws, all need months to record and compare.
Bai Shier firmly believed that the mutated explosive mushroom it was developing with its mentor Sun Chonglai definitely had value equal to any invention outcome.
But this project, from the company's founding until now, had already taken five years and still hadn't completed the most crucial step.
Its mentor always said, "No rush, no rush, take it slow. This can't be rushed."
He, as an old person, didn't care about time.
But Bai Shier, as a young person, was very anxious.
Whether it was Mushroom Forest Primary School students or local residents, there were sayings that the notion of the Mushroom Forest Primary School's Three Geniuses was already outdated.
What people frequently mentioned now was the young star genius Feng Ji. The Floating Heart is now world-renowned, and he is considered the future leader in the company's technology domain.
As for Bai Shier, the most mentioned thing was—its Mushroom House is also okay.
For the last one, Bei Ta, most opinions were—this kid has a good personality.
The Three Geniuses had turned into three tiers.
Bai Shier felt that its status had fallen.
Very painful.
By chance, the Mushroom Laboratory's working electric cat "Thunderball" casually said via the Electric Cat Walkie-Talkie: "Now, many electric cats like to go to that church; some have established their Savior Creed. Are you interested?"
Bai Shier asked, "What is that?"
Thunderball turned into a ball of blue electricity, rotating around a copper column: "Simply put, if you promise to help those in difficulty, if you can assist them, you will gain power."
"This power comes from conscious feedback, but it is also very strong. Especially for us electric cats, conscious power is the hardest to obtain and improve, greatly benefiting us."
"It's very popular among electric cats now!"
"Several electric cats have created the Creed Society, exchanging experiences to better obtain this kind of power and gain."
Bai Shier immediately realized, "You're a member too?"
"Correct!"
Thunderball said, "I'm one of the founding electric cats. The Creed Society was started by the Program Department's Biting Cat, the Scavenger Team's electric treasure, and me, forming a mutual aid group."
"Do you want to join?"
Bai Shier laughed and cried, "I'm not an electric cat, why would I join?"
"Who said you have to be an electric cat to join? Any group needs support staff, it's logistics that win battles!"
"Little Bai, come on, we need an outstanding logistician and researcher!"
Bai Shier shook its head, "I'm busy with my research and don't have time for that, please find someone else."
"We need your mind to dig deep into the Savior Creed and develop it!"
"If you can uncover the hidden mechanism, all the electric cats in the company would benefit and enhance their power."
Thunderball tirelessly persuaded, "If you crack the secret inside, enhancing all the electric cats' strength, this achievement would be top tier! It would surely surpass Chen Ji and regain the number one genius position!"
"I don't care about those things…" Bai Shier said, but was deeply moved.
Ranking order is important!
It pretended to think seriously for a long time before saying, "If it can enhance the strength of electric cats, that will surely benefit everyone… I'll give it a try in research first."
"Yay!! Little Bai, if you join, we are saved!"
Thunderball was delighted, crackling around Bai Shier in circles.
Bai Shier suddenly sensed something wasn't right: "Saved? What happened to you guys?"
"Well…"
Thunderball said, "Actually, about the Savior Creed, everyone's understanding is different; even the Creed Society has three factions internally."
"The radical faction thinks they should make the most extreme vows, like targeting some powerful monsters, to eliminate those B-grade and A-grade monsters that enjoy killing and plundering."
"The conservative faction feels the radicals are too conservative. They suggest upping the intensity, directly targeting the Heavenly People who cause all troubles, to assassinate the Heavenly People or their conscious projections, so more lives won't need to fear them… Of course, this idea is too absurd, already denied and banned from propagation."
"The middle faction suggests everyone make any promises; after all, the Creed must be personally fulfilled. No need for everyone to discuss, at worst, the Creed fails."
"The most frustrating thing is that the Saint George Church itself cannot clearly explain the specific mechanism of the Creed… This guy is a bit dumb."
"Now, if everyone cannot unify their opinion, it will ultimately create some trouble. If we can handle internal differences ourselves, we wouldn't bother the chairmen…"
Bai Shier listened and broke into a cold sweat.
It knew electric cats were bold, but didn't expect these fellows to dare aim at the Heavenly People.
It had taken on a massive task.
Bai Shier immediately went to Saint George Church.
This alien building had just arrived in Sand Port not long ago, with a small size. Besides its cross shape being somewhat special, it appeared very small beside the tall Jade City.
Mostly, outside visitors came here out of curiosity.
After a period of investigation, Bai Shier found that humans were mostly uninterested in the Savior Creed.
Especially the company's staff and Jade City residents, they didn't have much anger and injustice in their lives, were very satisfied with their lifestyle, without a strong motivation to become saviors.
There was a strange thing too.
The first to learn using the Savior Creed were the samurai crab groups.
They were the company's longest-standing employee group, though not very smart, their loyalty to the company could be said the highest.
The samurai crabs often gathered here late at night, one by one knocking their shells with pincers, noisily discussing.
Bai Shier mixed in, listening through a translator.
"Become a savior! I will help weak humans here with moving things!"
"Savior! I want to become a savior! I will clear stones from roads, repair roads!"
"I want to help mend clothes, I can sew with needles!"
"I'll volunteer at the service station!"
"I'll give everyone mushrooms to eat… though nobody goes hungry! I'll give mushroom soup…"
...
Compared to high-aiming electric cats, the samurai crabs were quite pragmatic.
They also fulfilled their promises in daily life; as long as around Jade City, people could always get their help.
The samurai crabs would proactively help carry heavy items, dig out cars inadvertently trapped in pits, repair roads damaged by trampling, clean up trash, and help send patients to hospitals…
Bai Shier entered Saint George Church, chatted with Saint George through electric cats all night.
That night.
It created its own creed.
—I will solve the employment and settlement issues for non-working electric cats!
