I! Cleaner!-Chapter 737 - 672: Root of Calamity

[Name: Intimate Sweater (Wish, Element)]

[Appearance: A slightly outdated and roughly woven light-golden wool sweater with excellent warmth, suitable for spring and autumn. It provides a body-hugging effect that effectively showcases a man’s physique.]

[Ability: Desire for Closeness, micro-electric shock]

[Cost: When wearing this abnormal object, if you get too close to animals with fur, they might dislike you.]

[File: Arcane Inheritor Leon Laine, missing a thin wool sweater, combined two secret techniques of the Clean-up Bureau, using fragments of the former God of Love’s bow and arrow as the base, supplemented with the wool of Paradise Rocky Sheep to create this special abnormal object.

When this abnormal object is activated, all creatures approaching you with a desire for closeness will experience a static shock that makes their fingertips tingle slightly upon touching your body.]

[Evaluation: Hiss... Could this be the feeling of heart fluttering?]

[Contamination Value: 0.1 (Maximum Contamination Value 28)]

...

[Name: Medicine-seeking Dog Whistle (Ritual, Exploration)]

[Appearance: A slightly chipped metal whistle which, when blown forcefully holding one end, will summon a mature dog-like creature with a green complexion from the nearby bushes, frantically searching for something.]

[Ability: ritual creature calling, item seeking]

[Cost: If the whistle blowing time is too long, your cheeks might hurt, and you might drool when sleeping at night.]

[File: Arcane Inheritor Leon Laine, based on the saying that dogs will seek appropriate herbs when sick, combined two secret techniques of the Clean-up Bureau, using the emblem of secret dogs and whistle grass to create this special abnormal object.

When you are in a state of poisoning or other abnormalities, actively blowing this abnormal object will summon a canine creature with a very keen nose to find the urgently needed wild herbs for you, but there’s also a 99.999% chance of being led to the nearest open public toilet.]

[Evaluation: Woof! In my experience, if you eat this stuff, you’ll get better. After all, woof, we’re friends, don’t stand on ceremony with me!]

[Contamination Value: 0.1 (Maximum Contamination Value 41)]

...

[Name: Hard Knee Cartilage (Miracle, Control)]

[Appearance: Two knee bones as soft as marshmallows. They seemed to frequently bend and touch the ground in life, causing significant wear to the cartilage.]

[Ability: Divine’s Knee, Command Control]

[Cost: Within one week of using this abnormal object, your knees will temporarily lose the ability to bend.]

[File: Arcane Inheritor Leon Laine, according to... combining two secret techniques... using the knee bones of ancient humans as the base, supplemented by finger bones of the controlling Demon God to create this special abnormal object.

Once the target completes a full-body prostration level kneeling to you, these dignity-fulfilled knee bones will temporarily replace the target’s knees and command their body to head to a destination specified by you.]

[Evaluation: Come on, kneel down, I’m begging you to do something for me.]

[Contamination Value: 0.1 (Maximum Contamination Value 59)]

...

"Well... the things I created this time seem to be slightly more useful than before?"

Watching the Taurus Director lying on the chair trembling, looking utterly despondent, Leon, who changed into his new wool sweater, couldn’t help but awkwardly tug at the corners of his mouth, then desperately tried to salvage his reputation by saying:

"For example, this dog whistle, although it will mostly lead to open public toilets, but if... um... if I were kidnapped by a Demon God and taken to a world without toilets, then maybe I could follow that dog to slowly find my way back.

And these two knee bones, although the conditions for them to take effect are rather stringent, I could totally defeat them to submission first, and then command him to turn himself in to the Clean-up Bureau... um... they’re still somewhat useful... right?"

"..."

After hearing Leon’s words, the Taurus Director on the deck chair couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at him, and upon seeing the wool sweater Leon was wearing, his whole body was instantly overwhelmed with a surge of uncontrollable blood flow, causing dizziness, and hurriedly turned back.

Yes, these two things can indeed be used that way, but if you could make them submit in a complete prostration, then what’s the point of having them? Moreover, most importantly, do you know what materials you have used?

Furniture fragment with True God’s authority, complete fur of Paradise Sacred Beast, secret ritual herbs that only grow in the Land of Night, precious remains voluntarily left by human ancestors.

These materials I had originally planned to reserve for you, if used properly, should produce at least two abnormal objects with over 60 Leon Value points, but in your hands... hmm...

Heart hurts! Very hurts!

After pressing his somewhat arrhythmic heart, the Taurus Director waved his hand weakly and said:

"Leon, your... your talent is still commendable, uh... at least your success rate is indeed very high. Even material of True God level can be controlled, but you... but perhaps you should try elsewhere?

Don’t misunderstand, I... I don’t mean not to teach you, it’s just that not only my Taurus Star Palace has chosen you, so I can’t keep holding on to you all the time, I have to give others a chance as well... hmm... I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable, maybe you all should head back first?"

"Then... sorry for disturbing you..."

Facing the Taurus Director’s dismissal order, Leon, aware of his deficiencies, couldn’t help but respond awkwardly and wished to quickly escape this embarrassing environment. However, before he could turn around, the Taurus Director lying on the deck chair continued to speak weakly:

"Also, those two things on the table, take them with you, they’re yours."

"But... their materials are quite rare, why don’t you try to dismantle them again, maybe..."

"No, no, no dismantling, take them with you instead!"

Interrupting Leon’s courtesy, the Taurus Director, with his back towards them, pressed firmly on his heart, pleading tremulously:

"Really, take them quickly. Just seeing them... makes my heart... makes my heart beat frantically..."

"..."

I’m sorry... I really didn’t do it on purpose, it’s just beyond my control.

Watching the bent Taurus Director on the deck chair, having clearly suffered a great impact, Leon’s guilt was overwhelming, under the helpless escort of the Red-haired Director, he dejectedly left the Taurus Director’s room.

Though he didn’t learn much about Taurus’s secret techniques this time, with the Taurus Director’s instructions, the root of the refining problem seems to have been found.

While learning Secret Smithing Techniques, Leon was deeply influenced by the third-generation Director, whose core refining theory was "from the heart," emphasizing the call of one’s inner self.

The problem is, with a soul second to none, Leon’s heart was filled with a myriad of chaotic knowledge and various extremely abstract weird memes. Once opted to "listen to the inner call," the abnormal objects naturally doubled the abstraction...

Hmm! It’s all the third-gen’s fault!
