Chapter 326: Boss Fuli, Got a Factory Smash-Up?

「.」

Opening the principal’s office door, An Sheng saw a brown panda defecating—standing on the desk, gripping the computer screen as it pushed hard. The sight struck him like a bomb.

An Sheng stared blankly at the office until the panda on the desk spoke, introducing itself, and only then did he snap out of the shock.

「Fatty.」

「You’re the spiritual beast overlord living in the back mountain that Wang Qiqi told me about, right?」

An Sheng opened the office door to air it out, his face dark with annoyance as he glared at the panda defecating.

An Sheng had heard from Wang Qiqi about the brown panda: if he had any needs or needed logging crew support, he could go to the back mountain and ask the spiritual beast overlord for help.

「That’s right, that’s right, Boss Fuli, no need to be formal—just call me Little Cat.」

The panda, having just finished, humanely pulled a roll of toilet paper from the desk, placed it down, shifted its butt onto it, and wiped itself.

The satisfied giant panda jumped from the desk to the floor and said to Boss Fuli: 「The principal’s office isn’t for talking—let’s go.」

Saying this, the panda prepared to lead An Sheng away, leaving three large piles on the floor.

「You shit that big here—don’t you fear the principal calling the honorary principal to castrate you?」

As An Sheng spoke, he didn’t forget to open the chip bag, pull out a handful, crush them, and toss them onto the principal’s office sofa.

The principal of the Xiqi campus of the new Nongke Academy was only a deputy-level official in the entire academy, but his administrative rank was high—he was entitled to a standard 30-square-meter office, a rest room, and a bathroom.

Besides the desk and bookshelves, the office contained a genuine leather sofa and a matching tea table.

An Sheng didn’t forget his purpose for coming—he scattered chip crumbs all over the principal’s office sofa before leaving.

…………

The round panda ran ahead, its broad back carrying the white fox, fleeing the building at top speed.

Reaching the cafeteria across from the dormitory, Fatty let out a sigh of relief, then grinned and said:

「Looks like our principal is unpopular—even Boss Fuli, coming all this way, can’t stand him.」

「I remember Wang Qiqi saying many spiritual beasts dislike the Xiqi campus principal—tell me more.」

Sitting at a cafeteria table, An Sheng looked at Fatty, who was expertly serving himself food, and said with a strange expression:

Previously,

Wang Qiqi had indeed said the Xiqi campus principal was disliked by spiritual beasts, but back then, An Sheng thought the principal was merely unpopular.

But after witnessing the giant panda defecating in the principal’s office, An Sheng realized how naive he’d been. The principal didn’t just lack favor—he was utterly despised.

「Hey! Our principal is awesome! One of the initiators of the ‘Green Mountains and Clear Waters’ project, and a major advocate for ecological reserves across Changancheng.」

「Boss Fuli, you judge: who the hell is this cruel? He spends massive manpower and resources building over a dozen ecological reserves. We all thought good times had come.」

「Then guess what?」

「Damn it, they don’t interfere with wildlife feeding!」 Fatty spat with bitter resentment.

An Sheng knew a bit about what Fatty was talking about.

Simply put, wildlife protection here meant designating ecological zones where animals could live and breed without threat.

It worked for ordinary animals, but not for spiritual beasts like Fatty—spending half a day scrambling just to find two bites to eat.

Sometimes, they found nothing at all.

Fatty’s anger lay here: they’d gone through all the trouble to build these reserves—why not spend a little money to feed the animals inside?

We rent out pandas for a year—over seven million each, and you have to rent two at once—net profit over fourteen million.

「Didn’t know you were into the internet.」 An Sheng chuckled as he watched Fatty eat while fuming. 「Now I get why you shit in the principal’s office—what about the other spiritual beasts?」

「It’s simple. Some spiritual beasts and their clans had already adapted to humans, settling in the city—but because of the Green Mountains and Clear Waters project, the Forestry Bureau captured all wild animals and released them back.」

「You were living fine, happily rummaging at food spawn points for rats or high-fat, high-sugar treats—then the Forestry Bureau nets you up and dumps you deep in the mountains. Who wouldn’t be furious?」

The Green Mountains and Clear Waters project was well-intentioned—good for both humans and animals, and beneficial to humanity’s spiritual evolution during the Qi resurgence.

Part of the project involved returning farmland to forest: humans shouldn’t keep occupying animals’ ecological niches or destroying the environment.

As humans withdrew, the wild animals that had already adapted to human society near forest edges were left utterly bewildered.

The food spawn points were gone.

The two-legged creatures who’d always dropped food just by scratching around? All vanished.

The worst off were those living in the city—they’d lived there for generations—only to be dumped by the Forestry Bureau into mountainous areas. The Red Kestrel clan was so furious they wanted to storm the Forestry Bureau.

The asphalt roads were gone; the rats and small birds along them were gone too.

Now they had to compete with Peregrines, Golden Eagles, and Owls for food.

The Green Mountains and Clear Waters project had been running a long time.

Some spiritually evolved beasts had returned, seeking revenge.

As one of the two main initiators and advocates, the Xiqi campus principal had drawn terrible luck.

Of course,

Because of the Anquan Bureau and the logging crews, the returning spiritual beasts dared not go too far.

But since those beasts returned, the principal’s black official sedan had never stayed black.

The Red Kestrel had even ordered all birds in Changancheng: if you see that car and don’t shit on it, I’ll shit on you.

Fatty chattered on, explaining why the principal was targeted by spiritual beasts.

After listening, An Sheng fell silent, amused—unable to judge the principal.

But unquestionably, the Xiqi campus principal was a decent person, stubbornly principled, never willing to compromise.

Facing universal condemnation, he’d still stubbornly cling to what science and the current environment deemed correct.

An Sheng tried imagining himself as the principal—facing spiritual beasts shitting in his office.

I’d just collect every hot water kettle in the school and stuff them one by one into their asses—then take a vacation.

「By the way! Old Wang called this morning, said you didn’t answer your phone, told me to come find you about the electromagnetic launcher.」

Fatty, mid-meal, suddenly remembered something and said to Boss Fuli:

「Old Wang said don’t throw away the electromagnetic launcher after use—the battery inside is a small nuclear cell, it’s polluting. I came to school today just for this.」

「But I got so hungry shitting, I nearly forgot the real reason.」

As Fatty spoke, he cautiously scanned the surroundings, let out a low dog-like bark, and whispered to Boss Fuli: 「Boss Fuli, Jin Qianbao told me you’re fiercely righteous.」

「Tonight, there’s a factory smash-up—you in? Forestry patrol gets you eight dishes and a soup, plus two thousand yuan in shopping vouchers.」

「Smash a factory?」 An Sheng blinked, startled. 「Do you guys even have gangs here?」

「What gangs? We’re smashing chemical factories—no bars involved.」

「Chemical factory!?」 An Sheng stared in disbelief.

「Yes!」 Fatty nodded matter-of-factly.

「.」
