He glanced left and right. Seeing no one else around, he strode toward the garbage transfer station.

After a quick scan of the area, Fang Chenyi was surprised to find that the transfer station didn’t even have a single security camera. This made him even more delighted.

After all, people avoided this place like the plague. Who would randomly wander in here? Besides, other than trash, there was nothing of value inside.

In one fluid motion, he easily vaulted over the waist-high iron fence. After landing smoothly, he lightly dusted off his leather shoes, glanced around again to make sure no one was watching, and then quickly entered the warehouse where the junk was stored.

Seeing the mountain-like pile of trash before him, Fang Chenyi didn’t feel happy. On the contrary, his brow furrowed tightly.

’It’s not that there isn’t enough junk, but the smell is just too pungent,’ he thought. ’Looks like I’ll have to stick to picking through the stuff Wei Yilong has already sorted. If it all stinks this bad, how am I supposed to pick through anything?’

This was actually a normal situation. This was a garbage transfer station, not a residential complex’s dumpster. All sorts of unsorted household waste would naturally be piled up here.

So, a pungent smell like this was to be expected.

But since he was already here, he couldn’t just leave empty-handed.

He found a relatively cleaner and tidier spot and started picking.

[You have picked up a worn-out teddy bear. The system has rewarded you with 300 yuan. The reward has been deposited into your bank account. Please check your balance.]

[You have picked up a worn-out tire. The system has rewarded you with 1,100 yuan. The reward has been deposited into your bank account. Please check your balance.]

[You have picked up a mobile phone charger. The system has rewarded you with 400 yuan. The reward has been deposited into your bank account. Please check your balance.]

...

[You have picked up a broken toy helicopter, triggering a special system reward. You have been awarded one civilian-model helicopter with legal documentation. The reward is currently in transit. Please arrange for pickup.]

As Fang Chenyi swung his trash grabber, busy and drenched in sweat, a unique notification in his mind made his spirits soar. ’Holy crap, another special reward!’

’But this reward seems a bit useless. I’m in Huaxia, and the airspace here is strictly controlled. What the hell is the use of a helicopter?!’

Of course, even if it was useless, it was a freebie from the system. No reason to turn it down.

However, just as Fang Chenyi was about to continue his scavenging, he heard the sound of an engine outside. He didn’t have to think to know another garbage truck had arrived.

He shook his head in resignation, ducked out, and vaulted back over the side fence.

Back in his car, he checked his account. After all that work, his net worth was finally back in the millions!

Having cash on hand brought peace of mind.

Looking at the long string of numbers on his bank card, the corners of Fang Chenyi’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

"Damn, this is so much faster than scavenging like a guerrilla in the residential complex. Looks like I need to hurry Wei Yilong along." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

DRING DRING DRING...

He had just fastened his seatbelt when the phone he’d set aside started to ring. He picked it up and saw the call was from ’Gou Dan’.

Fang Chenyi was a bit confused. ’Could that god-tier Wuling van be fixed already?’

He answered the call, and Gou Dan’s exaggerated voice came through:

"Oh, my dearest Mr. Fang, you are so extravagant! You have once again left me utterly speechless!"

Hearing these baffling words, Fang Chenyi was taken aback. "Hey, Gou Dan, what’s with you? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Gou Dan paused for a second, then let out a knowing chuckle. "Oh, hehe, I understand. In your Huaxian words, low-key, low-key! Ahem, the helicopter you ordered has arrived in Qinhuang Island. I’m preparing to deliver it to you now. Should I bring it to the villa at Century Garden? Oh, but I don’t recall there being a helipad there."

’A helicopter? What the hell? Isn’t this guy a car dealer? Since when did he get into the helicopter business???’

But while he was confused, it wasn’t entirely unbelievable. After all, the guy had managed to source a one-of-a-kind Bugatti. What was a helicopter in comparison?

"Just bring it to Century Garden for now. If there’s no helipad, you can just put it on the front lawn."

After hanging up, Fang Chenyi drove back.

But by the time he arrived at his villa, Gou Dan and his towing crew were already there.

Bai Menghan, who had been reading in the study, was now standing at the door with Su Tantan, watching Gou Dan’s team use a crane to lower a helicopter wrapped in a camouflage tarp.

Seeing Fang Chenyi arrive, Bai Menghan walked up to him. "Chenyi, why did you have a helicopter brought here?"

Looking at Bai Menghan, Fang Chenyi gently booped her on the nose, then took her hand and led her forward, saying:

"To take you flying, of course!"

As they got closer, Gou Dan, who was directing the unloading, spotted Fang Chenyi and hurried over, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Oh, congratulations to our Mr. Fang for acquiring this helicopter that has made countless tycoons’ hearts flutter!"

Seeing Gou Dan’s comical display, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but laugh. He made a gesture for him to cut the formalities, then turned his gaze to the helicopter, now suspended in mid-air. He asked quizzically, "Does this thing require a special license? Can I fly it with my standard driver’s license?"

At these words, not only Gou Dan, but also Bai Menghan and Su Tantan beside him burst out laughing. ’Good grief, this was the first time they’d ever heard someone ask if they could fly a helicopter with a driver’s license.’

If he hadn’t already bought a helicopter, people would have surely taken him for an idiot.

Yet, after hearing Fang Chenyi’s words, Gou Dan just shrugged.

"Oh, my dearest Mr. Fang, that certainly won’t fly in your Huaxia. However, if you’re willing, you could take it to Alis. Over there, forget a driver’s license—as long as you can get it off the ground, absolutely no one will ask if you have a pilot’s license."

Emm...

’Why the hell would I go to Alis? I must be bored out of my mind!’ Fang Chenyi fumed internally. ’Isn’t it great here in my Great Huaxia?!’

While Fang Chenyi was cursing internally, Gou Dan, having finished directing his men to successfully unload the helicopter, walked over with a stack of documents.

"Dearest Mr. Fang, now I must trouble you to sign these dozens of damn documents. And please don’t blame us. We had already put this helicopter up for auction, but then you bought it at the last minute, so some formalities are unavoidable."

[To be continued...]
