Though merely an honorary title with no right of succession, your honorary royal status is still recognized by the Krook Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Effect: As an honorary royal member who ‘saved’ the Krook Kingdom and was thus ennobled, you will be respected by all citizens of the Krook Kingdom and enjoy the same rights and privileges as its royal family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Advanced Path: If, after Princess Philia comes of age, you successfully enter into a marital alliance with her, this badge will automatically upgrade to the Gold badge: ‘Prince of Krook.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Trait (No Equipment Required): Due to your righteous act of \"restoring order,\" your reputation among all allied factions will significantly increase, but your radical methods of subversion and usurpation will also arouse suspicion from certain factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Silver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the description of the “Krook Royal (Honorary)” badge, Li Ang couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone through so much trouble, hoping to snag a Gold badge like “Thrush Prince” to gain the power to force others into bows, adding another tenth of advantage against the Scorpion Director—only to end up with this Silver badge that had practically no real effect…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. Better than nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning off the badge interface, Li Ang pulled out a dozen “borrowed” identity cards from the Mirror World and handed them to the stunned girl with emerald eyes, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got a lot to handle here. Take these cards. When the time comes, just swipe one and take the bus to Celebration Street—give your speech there… Any other questions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the pile of identity cards in her hands, Philia’s lips twitched, then she blurted out, unable to hold back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m about to give a coup speech! Such a huge deal, and you’re just sending me on a bus? And the bus fare? You stole it from someone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what’s wrong with the bus? Last time I staged a coup, I rented a public carriage to get to the palace—no problem at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a dismissive wave of his hand, Li Ang reassured her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, I know how to run a coup. Success depends on how strong your forces are and how swift your actions are—not what vehicle you ride. Even if you walk there on foot, it won’t matter as long as your strength is enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a coup, for heaven’s sake! How can such a serious matter sound as casual as going for a stroll in your mouth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, if you’re not happy with this, I’ve got another plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the emerald-eyed girl biting her lip, glaring at him, her face flushed with anger, Li Ang paused, then spoke seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The identity cards in your hands are precious items I risked death to obtain—by contacting loyal citizens who support the royal family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under the strict surveillance of Atphi 00 across every district of Krook Kingdom, the only way to bypass their evil monitoring and reach Celebration Street is by using these donated cards from kind citizens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By carefully boarding a moving vehicle with these hard-won cards, you can reach the critical location we planned and deliver the speech that will overthrow Prince Andre’s evil rule…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s still the same thing!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Li Ang’s “new” plan—which sounded grand but still meant she had to take a bus to stage a coup—the emerald-eyed girl stomped her foot in fury, her face flushed with irritation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already arranged everything for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting Philia’s head, interrupting her, Li Ang grinned—having finally settled his score with the “freak”:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Several commanders of the Royal Direct Army should already be waiting there. The sheep in your arms has memorized their soul signatures and will lead you to them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, this sheep can see souls and identify anyone hostile to you. With him around, your safety is guaranteed—just go ahead with confidence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Atphi, your skill is as reliable as ever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the tall, slender man standing before him, unharmed, holding a large suitcase, bowing respectfully, Prince Andre nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had dug the Scorpion Director out of the ruins of Administrative District 38, he was still alive—but over three-fifths of his body was destroyed, his soul tightly sealed within by the White Snake, barely clinging to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in just a few days, Atphi 00 had fully “repaired” him: every damaged tissue restored, and his soul strength, as measured by instruments, had reached over 80% of his original level—far exceeding Andre’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All one could say was that while her computational power fell short of Philia’s, as the former chief of Research Zone 1 and a genius scholar granted the right to leave a legacy in Krook Kingdom, her scientific prowess was far beyond Philia’s, who had died at age 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rare indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Prince Andre, who seemed unusually cheerful, a faint smile on his face, Atphi 00 said, surprised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re actually complimenting me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not the kind of person who enjoys annoying others—I just dislike your methods and usually don’t bother dealing with your antics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Prince Andre’s demeanor today was unusually pleasant. After admiring the “vivid” Scorpion Director before him, he turned and smiled at Atphi 00:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You did well this time. I have no reason to speak ill of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does he feel… off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the once-distant Prince now radiating warmth and even brightness, Atphi 00 blinked, momentarily disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, this ‘puppet’ isn’t as good as it looks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the cheerful, radiant Andre made Atphi 00 feel uneasy. After a brief hesitation, she abandoned her plan to conceal the truth and revealed everything:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His body still resembles a human, but only in appearance and structure. In truth, many parts have surpassed human limits—so much so, you could call them two different species.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I repaired him as best I could, even infused him with divine flesh once given by the Water Bearer Director—but the materials still fall short of his original level. When he exerts full power, his replacement half may collapse.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","859e790ace9b7530a7b4ff710334289f01b728a35368f8604ae6a272e5c1719f","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-954","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-952",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
