The System Makes Me Collect Junk, but I Build a Star Destroyer Instead

Travel blogger Jiang Chen dies unexpectedly and transmigrates into a parallel world as the impoverished owner of a scrap yard, so broke he can only afford instant noodles. He scrimps and saves to support his girlfriend through graduate school, only for her to dump him in public and call him a deadbeat. Just when all hope seems lost, he activates the Everything-Empowerment System. It can turn scrap into cutting-edge technology! A dead battery becomes a graphene super-battery in seconds. A discarded model plane is turned into a supersonic drone. Scrap iron yields controlled nuclear fusion through reverse engineering. He only wants to make money quietly, but leading scientists and military-industry giants crowd his doorstep, fighting to buy his inventions. When the wreckage of an alien spacecraft crashes to Earth and leaves the world stumped, the most powerful figures personally come to beg for his help. Jiang Chen kicks the spacecraft and calmly takes a drag on his cigarette. “Don't rush. Take a number and wait your turn!” From a small-time scrap dealer to a master of cutting-edge technology, he sets out to strengthen his country through science and sweep across the stars!
