Lin Jin loses his job and returns home to look after his father's recycling yard, which is on the verge of closing. But from an old phone with a shattered screen, he salvages an expired Tycoon System.
Spend three hundred yuan on someone, get only three yuan back. His appraisal eye can only spot junk nobody else wants. The entertainment database has only half a chorus left. The elite-soldier template can only sound an alarm three seconds in advance.
Every cheat is absurdly broken.
Then Lin Jin realizes that three hundred yuan can keep a delivery worker's life from falling apart, and that behind the three-yuan rebate lies a 30,000-yuan return from fate. An unwanted old wooden box hides 80,000 yuan, and an incomplete chorus can put a shelved singer back onstage.
Other people pick up trash. He picks up broken cheats.
The people, things, and projects others have given up on still have a chance to shine again in his hands.
