You Asked Me to Collect Scrap. It’s Scrap! Actual Scrap!

Li Mao, a recent college graduate, is taking part in a live-streamed career challenge for new graduates. He thinks the show will help him land a job at a Fortune Global 500 company.

But the career he draws is scrap collector.

Fortunately, he awakens the Treasure-Detecting System, which can identify treasures and analyze their details and value.

Day One

Li Mao buys a plastic bottle from a street cleaner and makes a net profit of 25,000 yuan reselling it.

Day Two

Li Mao buys a pair of walnuts from an old man and makes a net profit of 80,000 yuan reselling them.

Day Three

Li Mao buys a pot of orchids from a female classmate and makes a net profit of 600,000 yuan reselling it.

Day Four

Li Mao picks up a broken rock. The System announces: Imperial Green jadeite of glass type, worth 9 million yuan.

A black cricket in a plastic bottle, a rock hidden in a stack of waste cardboard, a discarded broken chair, a dog food tin: things everyone else sees as junk, Li Mao picks up and resells for hundreds of thousands.

The viewers in the livestream are completely stunned. “We told you to collect junk! Junk! It's junk!”
