Global Waste King

Chapter 1 Recycling Systems
In the summer in the south, the sun is scorching and the air is extremely stuffy.

At the head of Lijia Village, a group of peasant women sat slumped under the dense poplar trees with bare arms and open collars, each holding popsicles in their mouths and eating them sizzlingly.

A fat lady happily shouted: "It's comfortable, it's so comfortable. Li Zhongnan, thank you so much..."

As he spoke, he winked at a young man on the hammock.

"Ahem, Aunt Cuihua, it's just the ice cream bars I bought!" Li Zhongnan looked at her yellow teeth embedded with leek leaves and a lump of meat weighing more than 200 kilograms, and felt a chill.

Aunt Cuihua giggled: "Hey, your face is red, it's so cute. Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm a college student, you plan to collect rags for the rest of your life?"

"What's wrong with collecting rags? I'm starting my own business! I don't have to live in a basement, don't have to squeeze into buses, and don't have to look at my boss's face. It's so comfortable and free. Forget it, I told you that you don't understand!" Li Zhongnan looked down upon him with disdain.

Aunt Cuihua said disdainfully: "Hey, you are still starting a business! Come on, how much money can you make just doing this?"

"Why can't I make money? Believe it or not, I will make 100 million next year!" Li Zhongnan shouted.Of course, he can't make 100 million by collecting junk here, but it will be different when he opens his stall in the county seat.Moreover, he is not an ordinary collector of scraps.

"I really don't believe it!"

Aunt Cuihua rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you can earn 100 million, I will marry Da Ya to you."

"I'll go! As for that little girl, does her hair grow evenly?"

Li Zhongnan blushed for a while.

Aunt Cuihua said: "Why aren't they all grown up? You didn't take a peek, did you? My eldest daughter is quite a girl, and she will graduate soon! Forget one million, you can just give her a betrothal gift of 100!" This woman has become serious. She is already thinking in her heart that there is no need for girls to read so many books. A primary school diploma is enough.This guy is in good health. It would be a blessing for Da Ya to marry him. At least she won't be left a widow.Besides, he was No. 1 in the college entrance examination in Ankang County back then. In ancient times, he was the number one scholar in the Guangzong family. Although he was expelled from school after only two years of study, he was still a college student.It is better for a girl who knows the basics of the situation than a girl who goes out to work and comes back with a big belly in a year and a half and doesn't even know who her father is.

"Okay, you're ruthless!"

Li Zhongnan was completely convinced and simply shut his mouth.

A hunchbacked old man in his eighties or nineties walked slowly over carrying two large sacks.Li Zhongnan smiled brightly and approached him: "Uncle De Biao, how was your harvest today?"

"It's okay, let's see how much money I can exchange for it!" The old man wiped his sweat and panted.Bottles and cans, scrap metal and scrap metal were dumped on the floor, and I sorted them out with a smile on my face.

Li Zhongnan returned home and took out an iron scale: "The market has been bad these days. Plastic bottles cost [-] cents per catty, waste paper costs [-] cents per catty, iron costs one dollar per catty, and copper costs one dollar... "

"some days ago···"

"A few days ago was a few days ago, and now is now. At this price, if you want to sell it, you can sell it. If not, you can go somewhere else." Li Zhongnan turned around and left.This old man can't even ride a bicycle. There is only one recycling station in the nearby villages. Where can he go?

"Okay, I'll sell it."

"That's great!"

Li Zhongnan laughed evilly and started to work. It was inevitable that he would be short of a few pounds, "Three pounds of plastic bottles, five pounds of waste paper, twelve pounds of scrap iron... a total of 28 yuan! Uncle Debiao, I said your sons have all graduated." You make several thousand a month, you’re almost dead and you’re still doing this?”

Li Debiao glared at him: "What? You are a rag collector, but you still look down on me, a rag collector?"

All right, he shut up.

"Oh, there's no other way. My eldest son is getting married, and my wife lives in the city. She said she must buy a house, which costs several million. I'm an old man, and I'll just be idle when I'm idle. I'll make more money. Let's collect a down payment for them." Li Debiao said with a proud smile.The son can marry a girl from the city and honor his ancestors.

"What about the second son and the third son? Do you have to pay for their marriage?"

Li Zhongnan pulled out three reunion cards: "Here, thirty. The extra two yuan will buy you some popsicles to cool down on a hot day." This profiteer was a little emotional and couldn't help but sigh. His son has been raised, so I'll give you money. After studying, I still need money to marry a wife and support a mistress...

I pity the hearts of parents in the world.The scraps were moved back into the yard and the door quickly closed.

Li Zhongnan waved his hand, and a pile of waste products disappeared out of thin air in front of his eyes and appeared in a vast metal space.

At the same time, a transparent page appeared in his consciousness, similar to a game option box, with four large golden characters that clearly read 'Recycling Center'.Below, there are three options: sell, repair, and buy.Now the "Purchase" function is still gray and not activated.

Automatic classification of waste items.

Drinking plastic bottle {grey}: recyclable material, 1 kg/[-] gold coin.

Books {White}: Recyclable materials, 1 kg/[-] gold coin.

Scrap iron {black}: recyclable materials, 150kg/gold coin.

Damaged Hetian Jade {Green}: Recyclable item, has a value and can be repaired.

green?

Li Zhongnan picked up the jade pendant and grinned, his eyes full of excitement.

The "recycling system" has been around for two months, and he has tested it many times. In theory, any item can be restored to its factory state through the system's repair function.However, the repair value of many items is not great, such as a pen, a book, and a piece of paper, which are in a damaged and unusable state. It costs a certain amount of gold coins to repair them, but they cannot be sold for much money.

Green items have certain repair value. There are many faulty bicycles and motorcycles piled in the metal space.

They are all green. If you sell them after repairing them, you should be able to make a small profit.

Although he didn't understand antiques and treasures, just by looking at the name, he knew that this jade pendant should be worth a lot of money.

"How many gold coins are needed to repair the 'broken jade pendant'?"

"Dingdong: Thirty gold coins, would you like to repair it?"

Li Zhongnan frowned, thirty gold coins was not a small amount.

Waste paper books are calculated at [-] cents per catty, and one gold coin costs one hundred Yan coins, and thirty gold coins equals three thousand Yan coins.The price-performance ratio of reselling waste paper books to the system is much higher than that of scrap copper and iron, so all in all, it takes at least [-] fire coins to obtain thirty gold coins.

"Yes!"

Li Zhongnan gritted his teeth and gave up.The timid will starve to death and the bold will die. If we don't take a chance, we don't know when or what month we will be able to open the stall to the county seat.

"Ding Dong: Repair completed!"

A brand new jade pendant appeared in Li Zhongnan's hand. It was not damaged at all and was in perfect condition. It felt very comfortable with a touch of warmth in the coldness of the tentacles.

Originally, 99.8 gold coins were accumulated and 69.8 gold coins were spent. Now there are 0.2 gold coins left.Then sell the scraps you just collected and get 70, leaving a total of [-] in the system.Then, he repaired three dilapidated motorcycles and a dozen bicycles, spending several gold coins.

"Whether you can turn over and become the master depends on this time!" Li Zhongnan played with the jade pendant in his hand, full of expectations, not knowing how much it could be sold for.

I have been working in this business for more than half a year, and I originally made 8000 yuan. However, in the past two months, all the scraps I received were sold to the system, leaving me with only expenses and no income.Two days ago, I spent another 2000 yuan to buy a broken van to repair, and now my savings are almost at the bottom.

Li Zhongnan hid the jade pendant, loaded his bicycle and motorcycle into the van, and headed straight to the county seat.
