Siheyuan: Finding Antiques and Fixing Appliances Gets the Bigwigs' Attention

In 1961, twenty-year-old Ye Chuan is assigned by the neighborhood office to work at a materials recycling company.

The original owner thought collecting scrap was humiliating and worked himself to death from anger. Yi Zhonghai seizes the chance to propose a house swap, claiming he can get him a job at the steel mill in exchange for the spacious eastern wing of the Ye family home.

Ye Chuan, from a later era, sees through the scheme. He would rather ride a tricycle through the streets collecting scrap than give up his parents' home.

The Myriad Things Restoration System then activates. Appraisal lets him identify the history of old objects, while energy points can repair damaged appliances and machinery.

He finds bronze mirrors, Duan inkstones, ancient books, and famous artists' seals in the scrap warehouse. He then turns repaired radios, televisions, and electric fans into wealth and connections.

Later, Ye Chuan makes contact with a scientific research institute and produces advanced CNC machine tools, cutting decades off the country's technological development.

The scrap-collecting job that people once looked down on ultimately becomes his greatest opportunity to rise to the top!
