Trash King: I Became the Richest Man in the Galaxy from the Start

Hello, everyone. I'm Xiao Liu, a street interviewer.

Today, we'll be interviewing someone at the very bottom of society.

A scavenger.

As the interview goes on, Xiao Liu discovers that the shabby chair he's sitting on is made of golden-thread nanmu, and the tea he's drinking is Wuyi Da Hong Pao.

Even the water for brewing the tea is bottled water favored by the richest man overseas.

Beneath the run-down factory lies a whole other world.

This scavenger has picked up enough mobile phone chips to supply the entire country for ten years.

He found a 9G base station, connecting the whole population to the network and even to planets beyond Earth.

He found space-based weapons. Even spaceships sit around like junk, with nobody paying them any attention.

Through his own efforts, this scavenger has raised technological progress by several levels.

He has changed people's lives and altered how aliens view Earth.

And when asked about it, he says shyly:

"Hard work always pays off."

The host looks bewildered. You only spend ten or so minutes a day scavenging, and you call that hard work?

Wait, you found the most beautiful woman in the entire interstellar world too?
