[Host has picked up a battered laptop computer, triggering a special system reward. Reward: 81% of Microsoft’s shares. The share transfer agreement has been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve it at your convenience.]

Suddenly, this unusual system notification jolted Fang Chenyi. ’It’s here! It’s finally here! The system’s special reward has actually appeared!’

’So my previous guesses were all wrong. It *is* possible to trigger special rewards here. I don’t need to worry anymore.’

For a moment, a wave of relief washed over Fang Chenyi.

However, right after that system notification, another one for a special item sounded.

[Host has picked up an old plastic disc, triggering a special system reward. Reward: One 100 TB high-speed USB drive containing ’uncensored adult films.’ The item has been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve it at your convenience.]

Hearing the notification in his mind, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but curse. ’Holy shit! There are rewards like this?!’

Since everything here had been roughly sorted, this entire large bin was filled with plastic items. A disc, naturally, was classified as plastic.

Fang Chenyi was just curious. ’What year is it? Who even uses discs like this anymore?’

’Besides, this reward is so damn useless! What a waste of a special reward chance. The main thing is, I have no use for this thing anymore!’

He shook his head with a sigh. It was no use complaining. Since the system gave him the reward, he had to take it whether he wanted it or not.

’Ah, whatever,’ he thought to himself. ’I’ll just find one of Xiao Youzi’s fans and give it to them later.’

After consoling himself, he turned his attention back to the woven bag in front of him.

Meanwhile, a continuous stream of system notifications echoed in his mind.

More than an hour later, everything in the large bin had finally been collected into the woven bag. To Fang Chenyi’s frustration, however, no more special rewards were triggered after those first two.

Vigorously shaking his groggy head, Fang Chenyi glanced at the rows of bins that stretched as far as the eye could see. He finally let out a sigh and turned toward the door.

’There’s no way around it,’ he thought. ’I never realized before that picking up junk this quickly and constantly would make my head so groggy from all the notifications.’

It made sense when he thought about it. After all, having a voice constantly ringing in your head would be enough to make anyone miserable.

Without realizing it, Fang Chenyi had already been there for nearly four hours. When he walked out, he saw Liu Xia waiting for him not far away, looking rather anxious.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi felt a bit resigned.

"Xiaoliu, just focus on your own work next time. You don’t have to wait for me."

As he spoke, he got onto the nearby electric cart.

Seeing Liu Xia’s hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but was holding back, Fang Chenyi deliberated for a long moment before finally using ’Celestial Gods’ on him.

’Now that I know how useful this place is, I’ll definitely be coming here often. Sooner or later, Liu Xia is bound to get suspicious.’

’After all, it’s not normal for a boss with my kind of wealth to spend several hours in a recycling warehouse every day.’

That was why he had resolved to use Celestial Gods on him.

Of course, even though he used Celestial Gods, Fang Chenyi only implanted a single command: to keep this a secret. He didn’t change anything else about him.

Sure enough, after the brainwashing, the previously hesitant Liu Xia quieted down, showing no sign of wanting to question Fang Chenyi at all.

Rubbing his slightly throbbing head, Fang Chenyi drove straight home. When he arrived, his parents were already back. Having not seen their son in a long time, they naturally gave him a bit of a "talking-to."

There was nothing he could do but listen. Fortunately, after resting for a bit, his head no longer felt so groggy.

After dinner, they all watched some TV and chatted for a while before heading to their respective rooms.

Back at the villa, Bai Menghan pulled Fang Chenyi into the study, turned on the computer, and began briefing him on matters concerning his various companies.

Fang Chenyi’s head started to throb as he listened. When Bai Menghan looked ready to launch into another report, he simply walked over and silenced her with a kiss.

Then, ignoring her shy and protesting murmurs, he swept her up into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom.

Three hours later, Bai Menghan was nestled in Fang Chenyi’s arms, her voice tinged with complaint.

"I’ve been meaning to ask you... have you gotten taller?"

Fang Chenyi gave a wry smile.

"Well, don’t they say you get one last growth spurt at twenty-three?"

She shot Fang Chenyi an exasperated look. ’She’d never heard of a growth spurt *that* dramatic.’

’He must have grown a good thirty centimeters all at once!’

And so, the days passed. Bai Menghan kept busy with her graduation, while Fang Chenyi’s daily routine consisted of first checking on the construction site, then shutting himself inside the recycling warehouse at the waste treatment center.

In the evenings, he’d go home to have dinner with his family, and then later "discuss" the matter of that "growth spurt at twenty-three" with Bai Menghan.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. One morning, Fang Chenyi got up and, as usual, was about to drive his car to the construction site when Qi Xiaotian called out to him just as he stepped out of the villa’s main gate.

"Brother Fang! Brother Fang! Wait a second! The cars we ordered will be delivered in a little bit. Do you want to come take a look?"

His interest piqued, Fang Chenyi realized he’d been so busy from morning till night lately that he’d completely forgotten about the cars. He hadn’t expected them to be delivered today.

"Damn, I totally forgot about that. Haha, alright, let’s see what kind of cars you ordered."

Fang Chenyi decided not to head out after all. Instead, he sat down on a lounge chair in the courtyard, enjoying the cool autumn air.

RING RING RING...

About ten minutes later, Qi Xiaotian’s phone rang. He answered it, exchanged a few words, and hung up. He then turned to Fang Chenyi and said:

"They’re here, Brother Fang. Already at the gate. There are too many cars, so I’ll have them unload at the entrance and then drive them in."

Hearing this, Fang Chenyi leaped up from his lounge chair and clapped his hands. "Alright, let’s go take a look."

When the two of them reached the entrance to the villa complex, they saw a dozen or so large flatbed trucks lined up on the road.

On top of them were cars, each one covered by a tarp.

Fang Chenyi was taken aback. He turned to glance at Qi Xiaotian and asked quizzically:

"Exactly how many cars did you buy?"
