Richest Rag-picker-Chapter 50: About to Break a Million

[Host has collected a tattered Captain America comic book, triggering a special system reward. Reward: One mouthful of Super Soldier Serum. The reward has been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve it at your convenience.]

Hearing the notification in his mind, Fang Chenyi was completely stunned, but not because he had triggered another special reward.

The main reason was that this special reward was a little...

’What the hell? A reward of one mouthful? What’s up with that? Don’t tell me this is what was left over after Captain America took his shot?’

With that thought, Fang Chenyi ignored the trash can in front of him and reached into the woven bag, pulling out a small, finger-sized glass vial.

Fang Chenyi stared at the tiny bit of green liquid at the bottom of the vial, completely speechless.

"System, come on, explain this to me. What is going on? Why just one mouthful? Is this seriously what was left over after Captain America’s injection?"

[Ding! Host’s guess is correct. Because the Marvel comic you collected was damaged, the reward extraction process only managed to retrieve the serum from the second after Captain America completed his injection.]

’Holy crap! I’ve really got to give the system props for that move. Going by what it’s saying, if the comic had been missing a couple more pages, would I not even have gotten this little mouthful?’

Although that’s what he thought, Fang Chenyi didn’t dwell on it. No matter how little there was, it was still a special reward.

’Uh, how do I use this? Do I have to find a syringe and inject it myself?’

[Ding! This serum has been upgraded by the system. You only need to drink it to absorb it.]

’Heh heh, now that’s more like it. The system is pretty thoughtful after all.’

After glancing around and seeing that no one was watching, he tilted his head back and poured the last few drops of Super Soldier Serum into his mouth.

After downing it, Fang Chenyi smacked his lips. ’This stuff doesn’t taste like anything...’

Meanwhile, looking out a window in the classroom building, two girls were completely stunned.

One of them nudged her friend, a look of utter confusion on her face. "Bai... Bai Jie, can that Hermès bag transform? Uh... what is that rich guy... doing?"

The girl, Bai Jie, gave her companion a bewildered look before turning back to watch Fang Chenyi rummaging through the trash can. She said, a little defensively, "What do you know? I saw this online. What that handsome guy is doing is called... resource integration and upcycling... uh..."

Halfway through her explanation, Bai Jie couldn’t keep it up. ’Ugh, okay, I’m done trying to spin this.’

’That handsome guy is just picking through the trash!’

’But so what if he’s picking through the trash? He’s still so, so handsome doing it. Look at how cool and smooth his movements are... He’s just ridiculously hot...’

As for Fang Chenyi, he didn’t feel any changes in his body after drinking the Super Soldier Serum.

He shook his head. ’Maybe it’s because this serum was processed by the system.’

With a helpless shake of his head, he wasted no more time and turned his attention back to the two trash cans in front of him.

[Host has collected a fast-food container. Reward: 200 yuan. The reward has been deposited into your bank account. Please check your balance.]

[Host has collected a piece of broken glassware. Reward: 100 yuan. The reward has been deposited into your bank account. Please check your balance.]

Fang Chenyi worked quickly. Since there wasn’t much in the two trash cans to begin with, he finished picking through them in just a couple of minutes.

To avoid attracting attention, he didn’t bother folding the woven bag up again, simply carrying it as he walked back to his car.

He tossed it into the trunk, got back into the driver’s seat, and pulled out his phone to check his earnings for the day.

[Agricultural Bank] Your account ending in 6696 received a deposit of 200.00 yuan on April 6 at 16:28. Your new balance is 933,263.09 yuan.

[Agricultural Bank] Your account ending in 6696 received a deposit of 500.00 yuan on April 6 at 16:29. Your new balance is 933,763.09 yuan.

[Agricultural Bank] Your account ending in 6696 received a deposit of 300.00 yuan on April 6 at 16:29. Your new balance is 934,063.09 yuan.

’Hehehe, this is f*cking awesome! It’s only been a little over a day, and I’m already about to become a millionaire!’

Staring at the long string of digits in his bank account, Fang Chenyi felt absolutely ecstatic. He honestly never imagined a day like this would ever come.

VROOOM.

Just as Fang Chenyi was basking in his own delight, the sudden roar of an engine sounded from behind him.

He turned his head in confusion and saw a convoy of six BMWs speeding toward the main entrance of the classroom building.

However, the cars didn’t stop at the entrance. Instead, they began to maneuver, slowly forming a large heart shape with the six BMWs.

But that wasn’t all. Once the cars were parked, the doors of all six BMWs swung open. About a dozen young men got out, each carrying a large cardboard box.

As Fang Chenyi watched with great interest, the group began setting something up at the building’s entrance.

In less than five minutes, a large heart made of candles appeared on the ground in front of the building.

’Holy crap, is this a marriage proposal or something?’

Watching a young man in a black suit step into the center of the heart, a large bouquet of roses in hand, Fang Chenyi was intrigued.

He’d often seen this sort of thing on the news, but it wasn’t very common on a university campus. At least, Fang Chenyi hadn’t seen it once in his four years here.

Being a nosy spectator was a time-honored Huaxian tradition, and Fang Chenyi certainly wasn’t going to be the one to break it.

He opened his car door and got out, planning to get a closer look at the show.

But perhaps due to ’professional instinct,’ he hesitated for a moment, then opened his trunk. He refolded the woven bag to the size of a briefcase and tucked it under his arm.

’You kidding me? Once this guy’s done with his proposal, if I pick up all this junk, how much money would that be? I might even break a million today!’

With that thought, Fang Chenyi grew even more excited. Clutching his woven bag, he quickly walked over and joined the group, waiting with them for the leading lady to appear.

RING RING RING...

As the bell signaling the end of class rang, students began to trickle out of the building.

Seeing this, the young man in the center quickly waved to his buddies behind him. "Quick, pull up the banner!"

On his command, two of the young men quickly unrolled a banner and held it high.

But when Fang Chenyi turned his head and clearly saw what was written on the banner, the look on his face was absolutely priceless.
