Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After the tension and excitement of the fantasy mission in the previous chapter, Qin Feng and his companions finally got a chance to breathe. College life returned to a peaceful routine, but that didn't mean nothing new was happening. With the change of seasons, the college prepared for the annual cleaning event and announced a unique cleaning challenge.

In the morning, a new poster was posted on the college bulletin board. It read: "Attention all students! Today we will have a college cleanup! All students must participate and have a chance to win great prizes!"

Qin Feng and his friends were standing in front of the bulletin board watching.

"Big cleanup? This is really unexpected." Chu Tian scratched his head, "But if there are prizes, I can give it a try."

"Yes, and it's an event for all staff to participate in, so it looks like it will be very lively." Wang Yue said with a smile, "Besides, we should also contribute to the cleanliness of the college."

Ye Li nodded: "Although cleaning doesn't sound like a big task, there might be some unexpected surprises."

Qin Feng also smiled and said: "Then let's join. Anyway, we don't have any other plans, and we can make some contributions by the way."

The college's cleaning range included teaching buildings, libraries, training grounds, and even remote corners and gardens. Each team was assigned to a different area, and Qin Feng and his team were assigned to the outer area of ​​the training ground.

As soon as they arrived at the designated location, they saw various cleaning tools neatly arranged: brooms, dustpans, rags, brushes, and even some magical cleaning tools that were not usually seen.

"Wow, this is too complete, isn't it? Did the college plan this activity a long time ago?" Zhang Meng looked at the tools in amazement, "This is almost as full as a small warehouse."

"It looks like we'll be busy all day today." Ye Li said with a smile, "Come on, everyone, and try to complete the task as soon as possible!"

At the beginning, everyone cleaned very seriously, with clear division of labor and in an orderly manner. Qin Feng was responsible for cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom, Chu Tian fetched water with a bucket, and Ye Li and Wang Yue were wiping the stone tablets and statues on the training ground.

"There's so much dust on these statues. I guess they haven't been cleaned in several years." Wang Yue complained as she wiped them.

"Stop complaining, this is also part of our mission." Ye Li encouraged. Her frost fox helped to roll up the rag with its tail and wiped it quite neatly.

However, the good times didn't last long. Chu Tian accidentally knocked over a bucket of water, and the water flowed along the terrain all the way to the ground Qin Feng had just swept, scattering the fallen leaves he had worked so hard to clear.

"Chu Tian! You're making things worse!" Qin Feng couldn't help but complain as he looked at the fallen leaves that were once again in a tangle.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it!" Chu Tian quickly apologized and picked up the mop beside him to help clean up.

But Chu Tian was obviously not very good at using a mop. His movements were so clumsy as if he was cleaning for the first time. As a result, he lost his balance and the mop handle hit Zhang Meng's foot heavily.

"Ouch!" Zhang Meng yelled and jumped up, "Chu Tian, ​​what are you doing?"

"Sorry, sorry, I'll help you right away..." Chu Tian said hurriedly, but in his panic he stepped on his mop again and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help laughing. Chu Tian stood up with a red face and scratched his head awkwardly: "It seems that I am not suitable to be a cleaner."

Qin Feng patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone is not used to this kind of work. Take your time."

They continued to clean up amidst laughter and jokes. Although the cleaning task was a bit hard, with everyone's joint efforts, the progress was smooth.

Just when everyone was busy and having fun, the academy's broadcast suddenly sounded: "Attention, students! Now we announce the official start of a special event - the cleaning challenge! All students, please quickly go to the playground to gather!"

"Cleaning challenge? What is this?" Wang Yue asked confusedly.

"It sounds like a competition related to cleaning." Qin Feng guessed, "Let's go and see what's going on."

They quickly packed up their tools and headed for the playground. A number of students had already gathered on the playground, and everyone was discussing curiously. On the stage stood several instructors from the academy, one of whom was holding a loud speaker.

"Welcome everyone to the cleaning challenge!" the instructor shouted through a loud speaker. "This competition will test your teamwork and cleaning skills. The winning team will receive generous rewards!"

"What's the reward?" a student couldn't help but ask.

"It's a specially made 'magic cleaner' and a 'universal cleaning potion' specially made by the academy. It will allow you to never have to worry about cleaning again!" the instructor explained.

"Sounds good!" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up, "I need this kind of thing!"

"The rules of the competition are very simple." The instructor continued, "You need to clean up the designated area within the specified time and complete some special cleaning tasks. Now, please get ready, each team, we will start immediately!"

As soon as the game started, all the teams moved quickly. Qin Feng and his team were assigned to a seemingly simple area, but when they arrived, they found that there were not only thick fallen leaves and mud, but also several naughty magical animals running around.

"This is not just a simple cleaning!" Ye Li said with a wry smile.

"That's right, these little guys are too naughty." Qin Feng said, "We have to drive them away first."

They decided to split into two groups, Ye Li and Wang Yue would be responsible for cleaning the ground, while Qin Feng and Chu Tian would chase after the magical animals that were causing trouble.

These small animals looked like small fire elves. Although they were small, they were extremely fast. Qin Feng and Chu Tian chased them for a long time, but not only did they fail to catch them, they also fell several times.

"These little guys are even harder to catch than slippery loaches!" Chu Tian said, panting.

"Don't be discouraged, try using some bait." Qin Feng had an idea, took out a biscuit from his pocket, and slowly approached the elves.

Sure enough, the elves smelled the fragrance of the cookies and gathered around. Qin Feng took the opportunity to grab one of them. The elf struggled in his hand for a while, but finally gave up the resistance and stayed in his palm obediently.

"Great, we caught one!" Qin Feng said proudly.

Seeing Qin Feng's success, Chu Tian also imitated him, took out some snacks, and soon caught a elf.

"Let's send them back now." Qin Feng and Chu Tian took the elves to the edge of the venue and let them return to the forest.

After solving the problem of the elves, they quickly returned to the cleaning task. Time was tight, so everyone sped up, but some funny situations still happened from time to time. For example, Zhang Meng accidentally poured a bucket of water on himself while cleaning, becoming a "drowned chicken".

"Hahaha, Zhang Meng, your look is so funny!" Wang Yue laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"Don't laugh at me, help me clean up the water on the ground!" Zhang Meng said helplessly.

After some effort, they finally finished cleaning the designated area. When they were about to take a break, they suddenly heard the broadcast again.

"The cleaning challenge is over! All teams please return to the playground and wait for the results to be announced!" The instructor's voice came over the radio.

Qin Feng and his team quickly packed up their tools and returned to the playground. All the students gathered together, waiting for the results to be announced.

After some evaluation, the mentors finally stood on the stage and announced: "The winner of this cleaning challenge is... Team Qin Feng! Congratulations!"

"We won!" Chu Tian jumped up happily.

"That's great!" Ye Li and Wang Yue also high-fived excitedly.

"The prizes are yours, please come on stage to receive them!" The mentors smiled and called them to the stage.

Qin Feng and his team went on stage to receive their prizes, which were a specially made "magic cleaner" and a bottle of "universal cleaning potion". The cleaner looked like a small automatic sweeping robot, but it also had several magic runes on it, which looked very advanced.

"Now the cleaning task can be easily solved!" Zhang Meng said excitedly.

“Thank you for your participation and hard work.” The instructors concluded, “Although the cleaning challenge is a relaxing activity, we hope that you will learn teamwork and help each other in the process, which is the most important thing.”

The event ended with warm applause. Qin Feng and his friends left the playground contentedly, holding the prizes they won, with a sense of accomplishment and joy in their hearts.

"Today is a really good day. Not only did I complete the task, but I also got such a good reward." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, this kind of relaxing and interesting activity is really great." Wang Yue nodded in agreement.

"I hope there will be more competitions like this in the future." Chu Tian said with a smile, "But I will definitely not knock over the bucket next time."

Everyone laughed and walked towards the cafeteria together, ready to enjoy a good meal. Although the cleaning task seemed simple, through this activity, they once again proved their teamwork spirit and problem-solving ability, and also deepened their friendship. In the life of the college, every day may be full of surprises and laughter, which is the time they cherish most.
