You Asked Me to Collect Scrap, So I Turned in the South Heavenly Gate to the State

“Report! An Eagleland F-22 has been shot down!”

“Which military district did it?”

“It was... a scrap collector. He welded an anti-aircraft bird deterrent out of a mobility scooter to scam a 500-yuan agricultural machinery subsidy...”

The room fell dead silent!

The higher-ups slammed the table through the night: “Deploy our aces! Guard the scrapyard at all costs! Classify him as SSS-level top secret!”

Confronted by armed special forces, Su Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at the [Great Power Heavy Industry: Scrap God-Tier Modification System] bound to him in his mind and nearly cried:

“I just wanted to scavenge some scraps and squeeze a little money out of the system!”

Later, under the System's “no-nonsense anti-bluffing mechanism”:

To scam some environmental protection funding, he built a smog-removal tower out of a broken fan and dazzled Eagleland's satellites.

To collect irrigation fees, he cobbled together an aerospace carrier from a secondhand water truck and wiped out Starlink with a single shot.

Looking at the rust-covered star destroyer hovering over the White House, Eagleland's president broke down in tears:

“What kind of scrap collector can destroy the world?!”
