The upgraded transfer station was frighteningly efficient.
Within the vast ten-thousand-square-meter space, enormous mountains of garbage were rapidly broken down and sorted by an invisible force.
Metal, rubble, humus, remains... each was neatly piled in its own area.
Chen Lin patiently searched through the remaining piles of garbage once more.
Unfortunately, it seemed he had used up all his luck on the Shape-Shifting Vajra Bracelet and the Imperial Seal of China.
Aside from a few spirit stones of decent quality and some low-grade medicinal herbs he couldn't name, he found nothing else that caught his eye.
Three hours later.
As the final batch of garbage was tossed into the pitch-black rift in the void, the entire transfer station stood empty.
An emotionless mechanical voice echoed through the space.
[Garbage transfer complete.] [Leave?]
"Leave."
The moment Chen Lin spoke, the dark portal silently appeared before him again.
He stepped through and returned to his luxurious suite at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The next morning.
Chen Lin was woken by a frantic phone ringtone that sounded as though it were demanding his life.
He picked up his phone. The name "Qin Chuxia" flashed on the screen.
"Hello?"
"Chen Lin! You're famous! You're trending!"
On the other end, Qin Chuxia's voice brimmed with barely contained excitement, so loud it hurt his ears.
Chen Lin was still a little groggy.
"What do you mean, famous?"
He casually opened his phone, and Weibo notifications practically flooded the screen.
