Lin Xiaobei, a fresh graduate, became a sanitation worker after failing to find a job. However, he rescued a mysterious black cat on a rainy night and accidentally awakened the "City Light System" - every ton of garbage cleaned can be exchanged for money and skills. He sweeps the streets during the day and transforms into a "garbage hunter" at night, gradually revealing the truth about urban pollution from the sewage scandal of chemical plants to the landfill crisis.
Faced with the pursuit of chemical plant owner Zhao Tianxiong and the technological siege of the multinational consortium EcoCorp, Lin Xiaobei formed a "night sanitation team" to unite homeless workers, retired workers and other low-level workers to use systematic skills to purify water sources, transform garbage mountains, and even turn the Pacific Garbage Patch into an ecological oasis. With the villain scientist's betrayal and sacrifice, the team finally shattered the consortium's "Human Purge Plan" and promoted the global "Garbage Code" legislation.
When the system ran out of energy, Lin Xiaobei discovered that it was actually a test product of the alien civilization's "Cosmic Cleansing Alliance" - the earth was listed as an "observation object" due to severe pollution. He used garbage recycling technology to prove the value of mankind, refused to become a savior, and returned to his identity as a street sanitation worker. However, on a rainy night, he handed the broom to his apprentice who awakened to new skills. At the end, the alien spacecraft streaked across the night sky, leaving a hundred-year observation period of suspense.

Very sci-fi, like the reappearance of "The Three-Body Problem"
