[Host has collected a string of old balloons, triggering a special system reward. Reward: Seven rainbow hot air balloons. The reward is en route. Please wait patiently, Host.]

’It’s here! The fourth special reward is really here!’

’What’s going on today? Is my luck just off the charts? Is today my lucky day?’

Whatever the reason, he had actually triggered four special rewards today.

This felt so damn good!

After his excitement subsided a little, Fang Chenyi simply reached his trash grabber into the pile of garbage in front of him again. A moment later, a shattered microphone came into view.

’Huh, they even managed to break this? Just how wild was that wedding!’

’But if this triggers a special reward, what would I even get? A singing skill? I’ve already got that, though. It’s no exaggeration to say I’m a musical maestro at this point.’

’Ugh, it’s not going to give me a microphone manufacturing company, is it?’

Staring at the microphone, which still had a red silk ribbon tied to it, Fang Chenyi felt hesitant. ’After all, if this does trigger another special reward, would it be a waste?’

After some thought, Fang Chenyi decided to give it a shot anyway. After all, you could never guess what a special reward would be. This microphone, for example, could yield a microphone factory, a skill related to eloquence, or even a golden microphone.

He tossed it into the woven bag with his grabber, and a moment later, the system’s notification chimed in his mind.

[Host has collected one old microphone, triggering a special system reward. Reward: Ten super love songs. The backing tracks have been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve them yourself, Host.]

Hearing this system reward notification, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but give a wry smile. He had guessed at so many possibilities for the special reward, but hadn’t gotten a single one right. In the end, he got ten songs!

’I have no intention of becoming a pop star. What’s the use of ten songs? I can’t just sing one when I propose, can I?’

’Hey, wait a minute. I *can* sing a love song when I propose.’

With that thought, Fang Chenyi immediately began to recall the ten songs in his mind.

Instantly, ten titles and their corresponding melodies appeared in his head.

"Holy shit, these songs are amazing!"

As the songs surfaced in his mind one after another, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but curse out loud. These ten songs were incredible. The melodies, the lyrics—everything was completely captivating. One of them, titled ’Will You Marry Me?’, was the absolute perfect song for a proposal!

For a moment, Fang Chenyi was too excited for words. This system was just too thoughtful! He wanted to propose, and it had given him fireworks, a diamond ring, flower petals, hot air balloons, and now, ten love songs that had never before been heard in this world.

’This is my own personal little lifesaver, isn’t it?’

RING RING RING~

Just as Fang Chenyi was about to get back to his junk collecting, his phone suddenly started ringing.

He took it out and saw it was a call from that kid, Wei Yilong.

He answered the call and was met with Wei Yilong’s rather urgent voice:

"Hey, Boss, where are you? I’m already at the villa."

Fang Chenyi glanced at his watch. It had only been half an hour since he’d called Wei Yilong. He hadn’t expected the guy to be so fast. Fang Chenyi figured the drive from the construction site to the villa district should take over forty minutes.

Even though he was only ten minutes early, it was a clear indicator of just how fast he must have been driving.

Fang Chenyi told him he was on his way back and hung up.

Looking at the huge pile of junk before him, Fang Chenyi hesitated. ’Should I keep at it, or should I head back? I wonder if leaving now will affect my special rewards.’

As he was hesitating, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Host’s query detected. The system will now provide an explanation. Host has seven special rewards remaining for the current session. The system will save them for later use. This will not affect future special rewards. Please rest assured, Host.]

Huh??

The system’s sudden announcement left Fang Chenyi a bit bewildered. ’What does that mean? What’s this about "seven special rewards remaining"? Does that mean my next seven junk-collecting attempts in a row will all trigger special rewards?’

’If that’s true, then adding the five I just got in a row, that makes a total of twelve special rewards!’

’What’s going on? The most I ever got in a row before was two. Why have twelve suddenly appeared out of nowhere?’

He couldn’t figure it out, but he was relieved to hear that it wouldn’t affect his next junk-collecting session.

In fact, he was thrilled. The feeling of knowing for a fact that your next attempt would trigger a special reward was incredibly satisfying. This meant he could go junk collecting whenever he felt like it.

With that thought, Fang Chenyi walked right out of the waste transfer station and vaulted over the fence.

Once on the main street, he glanced both ways, then scanned the QR code to unlock a nearby shared bike. He hopped on and started pedaling toward the villa district.

As he approached the entrance to the villa district, the new security guard on duty—the one who’d just come off the ships—spotted Fang Chenyi approaching on a shared bike from a distance.

The man’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

’Am I seeing things? Is that... my boss? No way. Think about who my boss is, how much he’s worth! How could he possibly be riding a shared bike?!’

"Heh, how are things? Getting used to it?"

While the young security guard was still in a daze, Fang Chenyi had already biked right up to him. He smiled, gave a nod, and asked with concern.

Hearing this, the young security guard quickly snapped out of it. He immediately straightened up to attention and shouted,

"Reporting, Boss! I’m settling in just fine!"

Fang Chenyi didn’t say anything more, just gave him a warm smile before pedaling the shared bike straight toward Villa Number Five.

Parking the bike at the entrance of Villa Number Five, he happened to run into Mu Tou, dressed in camouflage, walking out from inside.

Mu Tou wasn’t the least bit surprised to see Fang Chenyi on a shared bike. He’d been working here for a long time, after all. Though his boss was worth billions, in his daily life he was no different from an ordinary person.

Mu Tou saw Fang Chenyi and smilingly called out, "Brother Fang." Fang Chenyi smiled and nodded, greeting him in return.

By the time Fang Chenyi went into the villa, Mu Tou had reached the main gate. The young security guard saw him and couldn’t help but ask with astonishment,

"Captain, is that really our boss?"
