   The male lead has no romantic partner; he collects scrap metal via livestream and indirectly stumbles upon various antiques—a truly satisfying read! I don't know why the author wrote about multiple female leads in the synopsis; they are actually just female characters appearing in the story.

   This is the author's own book, and I'm shamelessly promoting it myself. Thank you. There is no female lead; the characters are decisive and ruthless, not saintly. The focus is mainly on the plot!

   Look this way! He was taken away by a dump truck right at the start, but unexpectedly gained double the joy—dual-elemental awakening! In this world where everyone possesses "skills," he was an outcast, yet he became the key to breaking the deadlock. The story is light and fun in the beginning, unfolding a grand conspiracy in the middle and later stages, with top-notch suspense that will leave you eagerly anticipating what happens next!
