After Getting Fired, I Made a Fortune Foraging in the Mountains and Tidepooling

On the eve of job assignments, Chen Bo is framed by his childhood sweetheart and expelled from school. He goes from being a top student everyone praised to a no-good nobody everyone curses.

One morning, he wakes up after a night of drinking and discovers he can see his daily luck value and buy mountain-foraging and sea-foraging gear from a virtual supermarket.

From then on, searching the mountains is like picking vegetables in his own garden. Chicken of the woods, truffles, matsutake, cordyceps, ginseng... He gathers whatever is most valuable.

Foraging at sea is like fishing in his own pond. Giant crabs, large yellow croaker, tuna, giant meagre... He catches whatever fetches the highest price.

The blurb may seem plain, but the story is even better.
