Do you have our post office’s stamp-collecting card?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re a long-term customer like you appear to be, given your subscription volume, you don’t need to queue at the gift section for stamping—I can stamp your new seals right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’d be grateful for your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Ang exhaled in relief and pulled out a stack of stamp-collecting cards he’d found in the director’s drawer, sliding them through the side slot beside the window to the clerk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called stamp-collecting cards were essentially disguised loyalty rewards issued by post offices and publishers: after subscribing to a publication for the first time, you received a thin iron plate; each subsequent renewal at that post office would earn you a new stamp pressed onto the plate by machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you accumulated enough stamps over time, the post office and publisher would reward you with gifts, renewal discounts, or invitations to special events like annual ceremonies or reader clubs—exclusive perks for top clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the disgruntled stares of the long queue, the clerk behind the counter, now fawning over a big client, abandoned her duties entirely, dragged out a stamping machine from under her desk, and began laboriously pressing stamp after stamp onto Li Ang’s stack of cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after finishing all the cards, the clerk didn’t even wipe her sweat—she handed the cards back with a smile and added politely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, your subscriptions to *Wine Traveler*, *The Sun Daily (Popular and Quality Editions)*, and *Meli Focus* have each reached their full stamp quota—you may claim your gifts directly at the gift section.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just checked for you: *Wine Traveler*’s gift is a small bottle of selected Chardonnay dry white; *Meli Focus*’s gift is a Charmore lingerie VIP card, granting early access to try new underwear models and a 30% discount on purchases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for *The Sun Daily (Double Editions)*, the gift is a temporary access pass—take it to the opposite *Sun Daily* newsroom to visit reporters or editors you’re interested in, and ask about secret stories omitted from the paper due to space or policy restrictions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retrieving his stamp-collecting cards, Li Ang finally completed his “mission” and let out a quiet sigh. Following the clerk’s directions, he went to the gift section and collected his three rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small bottle of wine and the lingerie discount card, of course, must be taken back to the director—unless he was mistaken, she’d been longing for these two items for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been in a headquarters meeting and still specifically asked him to subscribe to newspapers for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this access pass…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the pass bearing the golden gear-shaped sun emblem, Li Ang hesitated on the sidewalk, then instead of boarding the public carriage, he turned and walked toward the *Sun Daily* newsroom across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Li Ang had neither the money nor the interest to subscribe to newspapers; when he occasionally needed news, he simply borrowed discarded copies from others, and naturally had no reporters he wished to visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after flipping through the director’s newspapers yesterday and discovering she’d been clipping articles about his embarrassing moments, he’d noticed a name beneath several reports on himself that sparked his curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicole Collins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, the only anomaly holder absent from the rebel meeting was named Nicole, and the elderly Owen couple who treated Little Baggins like their own child bore the surname Collins—so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this journalist, who’d written multiple damaging pieces about him, be the twelfth rebel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though deeply suspicious of the *Sun Daily* reporter’s background, Li Ang’s usual habit was to play it safe—he’d wait until the director or Senior Emma returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he held the access pass granted by the stamp card, he had a legitimate reason to investigate—and with both the Sheep Heart and the director’s hair as dual protections, a quick reconnaissance wouldn’t hurt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew… you’ve nearly suffocated us with these days of undercover work!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Ang pulled the Black Goat out of the small mirror and stuffed it into the shopping bag he carried, the long-silent Black Goat grumbled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t the undercover mission over? Why are you still shoving us back into that damn mirror? Can’t you just carry us around like before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you, that mirror’s a torture chamber—besides that worthless, idiotic heart, there’s nothing but a dumb-ass puppy, not even a living thing to chat with! It’s unbearably boring in there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll try to carry you more often from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Black Goat was no saint, as a former comrade who’d fought alongside Li Ang and helped him survive his most dangerous “newbie phase,” it held some place in his heart—and such a small request was hardly worth refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Li Ang’s promise, the Black Goat, no longer forced to return to the mirror world, instantly brightened. After two strange chuckles, it even unusually asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, just say it—whose soul do you want me to check this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm? In the past, the Black Goat had always demanded something in return, never so cooperative—clearly, it had been stifled too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang studied the suddenly changed demeanor of the Black Goat, then, as he showed his stamp card and access pass to the *Sun Daily* guard, replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A reporter named Nicole—I suspect she’s an anomaly holder among the rebels. I’m going to probe her background… same procedure as before: once we find her, if she lies, alert me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it! Leave it to us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid Li Ang would find it troublesome and shove it back into the desolate mirror world, the Black Goat, determined to prove its worth, unusually took initiative and began scanning souls within a one-kilometer radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing around, the Black Goat suddenly noticed something deeply wrong—its expression twisted in alarm, and it frantically urged:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick! Take us back inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-20T03:18:31.831Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","172a5bc4f32ce89dbeb3a6b0804d9480a8ff94675bb876891db99360e1b95bb4","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-238","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-236",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
