Working at an otherworldly junkyard, making a fortune by collecting trash.

As soon as Chen Chen stepped back onto Earth, he didn't even bother to look at the contents of his spatial key and spatial ring, and rushed straight into the bathroom.

The warm water, carrying his exhaustion, washed over his limbs and bones; nearly two days of sleepless nights had drained him of his last bit of strength.

After a quick rinse, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the sunrise and sunset outside the window.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky outside the window was already tinged with the orange-red of dusk, and the date was displayed on my phone screen—Tuesday, January 27th, 4 PM.

Chen Chen rolled out of bed, grabbed the phone that Green Bean had left behind, and headed straight for the phone store with Ji Yunli.

He tossed a sum of money to the clerk and succinctly ordered, "Fill my memory with all the popular TV dramas and movies."

While waiting for the phone to download, he went to the supermarket with Ji Yunli.

Thinking of the chirping birds of the Karan tribe, Chen Chen headed straight for the snack section and grabbed colorful potato chips from the shelf, carrying them into his shopping cart.

Tomato flavor, original flavor, barbecue flavor... In no time, three shopping carts were piled high with potato chips.

Carrying them out one truckload at a time was too slow, so Chen Chen simply stopped a passing sales assistant and said, "Call your manager over here."

The supermarket manager rushed over, and upon seeing Chen Chen's demeanor, his face instantly broke into a beaming smile.

Chen Chen didn't beat around the bush, pointing to the entire shelf in the snack and beverage section: "Pack all of these, and the inventory in your warehouse, and deliver them to the warehouse I specify before 10 p.m. tonight."

The manager's eyes shone like gold, and he nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, sir! There are still quite a few goods in the warehouse; I'll have someone load them all up for you right away!"

This purchase cost nearly 300,000 yuan in total. Watching the supermarket employees busily counting and packing, Chen Chen suddenly slapped his forehead, belatedly realizing: Why didn't I think of going to the wholesale market? I could even contact the manufacturers directly to order, which would be both cheaper and more convenient.

That's it!

Chen Chen shook his head. "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll find the contact information for those snack manufacturers online when I get back, and then I'll order in bulk next time."

The two had a hearty dinner at a restaurant near the supermarket, and on their way back, the clerk from the mobile phone store called to say that the download was complete.

Chen Chen retrieved his phone and had just returned to the warehouse entrance when he saw several trucks bearing the supermarket logo driving in a long procession.

The employees quickly moved boxes of snacks and drinks into the warehouse, and after counting them, they drove away.

Chen Chen and Ji Yunli stood side by side in the center of the warehouse, looking at the mountain of goods, and smiled at each other.

He reached out and closed the warehouse's electric door, then pressed the switch on the wall, instantly filling the entire warehouse with bright light.

Chen Chen rubbed the watch on his wrist, then lightly tapped the screen with his fingertip. A pale blue light screen suddenly unfolded and floated in mid-air.

He opened his friends list, where three names lay alone—Green Fruit, Red Fruit, and Rabbit Nine.

Without hesitation, he clicked on Green Fruit's profile picture and initiated a video call.

In just two seconds, the call was connected, and Green Fruit's fluffy head appeared on the screen, its bright eyes curving into crescents: "Hello, Chen Chen."

"Hello, Green Fruit." Chen Chen pointed to the mountain of boxes behind him, his tone filled with excitement. "I bought some snacks, but I don't know how to send them to you." He had been busy shopping since waking up and hadn't had time to study the teleportation function.

Green Fruit patiently guided the instructions on the other end, speaking at a moderate pace, explaining the steps clearly.

Chen Chen did as instructed, selecting all the items in the warehouse on the light screen and gently lowering her fingertip.

In an instant, a soft white light flashed, and the boxes full of snacks and drinks in the warehouse, along with the cell phone loaded with TV shows, vanished into thin air.

Through the light screen, you could see those things neatly piled up next to Green Fruit, and several young Kalan birds fluttered their wings and flew over.

Ji Yunli stood aside, witnessing this unbelievable scene with her own eyes. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she was stunned for a long time.

"Thank you so much, Chen Chen." Green Fruit's voice was sincere. "How many star coins do these things cost? I'll transfer them to you now."

"No need, no need!" Chen Chen quickly waved his hand, "This is a gift from me. You've given me so many nice things before, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

He has already received many precious gifts from the Karan people, how can he still have the nerve to accept money?

"One thing at a time." Green Fruit's tone carried a hint of unyielding stubbornness. "I don't know the market price of these things either. I'll transfer you 1,000 star coins first. If it's not enough, just let me know."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Chen's watch beeped with a crisp notification sound—one thousand star coins had been credited to his account.

He watched as his system balance instantly rose to 1,012 star coins, unable to suppress the smile on his lips, and muttered to himself, "Green Bean's father is too kind."

Chen Chen had no intention of using the Star Coins to repay the debt owed to the company's Space Button.

After all, he can only work steadily at the company for twenty years if he owes money; if he pays it off, what if the company doesn't need him anymore one day and fires him?

"I really can't bear to part with DouDou." Ji Yunli looked at the empty warehouse, her eyes slightly red, her tone full of melancholy. "I wonder if she's doing well on Planet Kalan."

"It's back home now, it'll definitely be living a comfortable life," Chen Chen patted her shoulder, gently comforting her. "Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

He then recounted his experiences on Planet Karan to Ji Yunli.

Ji Yunli listened intently, occasionally letting out a gasp of amazement, her eyes filled with longing, wishing she could also visit that magical land.

After sharing their experiences, Chen Chen opened the StarNet again and slid his finger across the light screen.

The goods on the StarNet were dazzling: all kinds of intelligent robots, majestic starships, powerful medical pods... Every single one tempted him, but when he saw the prices, he could only click his tongue in frustration—none of these were things he could afford right now.

He then clicked on the food section, where even the cheapest natural food cost one star coin per serving.

When his gaze swept over the familiar items, Chen Chen couldn't help but be stunned—the bag of dried fruit that Green Bean gave him was priced at fifty star coins each on the Star Network; the most expensive of the fruits that Green Fruit gave him cost one hundred star coins, and the cheapest cost ten star coins.

All things considered, the things the Karan tribe gave him were worth at least tens of thousands of star coins!

Chen Chen gasped, a surge of warmth welling up inside him.

He secretly made up his mind to contact the snack manufacturer first thing tomorrow morning and order a large batch of snacks to send to the Karan tribe. This time, he absolutely could not accept their star coins again.

After sorting through all these things, Chen Chen finally remembered the new "junk" he had brought back from interstellar space.

He took out a pure white sheep from his spatial storage and carefully placed it on the prepared plastic mat. Ji Yunli quickly squatted down and examined it with him.

"This...this is lamb, right?" Ji Yunli reached out and gently pressed the tender pink lamb meat, which felt firm yet delicate.

"Hmm, it's lamb." Chen Chen leaned closer and took a sniff, a fresh meaty aroma lingering around his nose.

The aroma was unlike that of ordinary mutton, which had a gamey or muttony smell. Instead, it was a blend of the crispness of the grassland and the sweetness of the grass, rich and clean.

"Such good mutton was thrown away as garbage, leaving only the wool. That wool must be extraordinary," Chen Chen remarked.

Since visiting Planet Karan, he knew how strict interstellar civilizations were with the quality of goods they sold. If they could give up fresh meat and only take wool, then that wool must have extraordinary value.

"It's a pity the winter solstice has already passed." Ji Yunli sighed, her tone full of regret. "Otherwise, how wonderful it would have been to stew a pot of mutton soup on the winter solstice, along with radishes and cabbage."

"Hey, it doesn't matter which day we eat it." Chen Chen laughed and patted the sheep's body. "I'll take this sheep upstairs to butcher it, and we'll make mutton soup tomorrow."

After saying that, he put the sheep back into his spatial storage and turned to walk towards the stairs.

Upstairs in the kitchen, Chen Chen took out a sharp knife, removed the sheep from his spatial storage, and placed it on the spacious countertop.

With a swift and decisive stroke, he sliced ​​open the sheep's belly, and the warm internal organs rolled out, filling a large basin.

The internal organs of ordinary livestock have a fishy and foul smell, especially in the stomach, where undigested food residue often remains, giving off a pungent stench.

But the sheep's internal organs were completely different; they had no strange smell at all, but instead had a faint fragrance of fresh grass.

Chen Chen curiously cut open the stomach pouch, only to find that it contained undigested grass, with tender leaves and a faint sweet taste.

He placed the processed sheep on the electronic scale, and a number appeared on the display screen—eighty kilograms. "Wow, even after removing the internal organs, it still weighs eighty kilograms!" Chen Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Thinking back to the first pig and the duck I received, their internal organs were also so clean, without the slightest fishy smell.

Chen Chen couldn't help but marvel, secretly wondering: How exactly do these alien races raise their livestock? Could it be that they are all obsessive about cleanliness?

He leaned against the kitchen counter, rubbing his aching back, feeling a mountain of things rushing up at him—he needed to contact snack manufacturers to place large orders, keep a close eye on the foundation's activities, properly dismantle the sheep, and figure out new sales channels for his apples.

Since obtaining those saplings on Planet Karan, Chen Chen has had a new idea in mind.

He wanted to grow his own orchard, a place that would produce delicious fruit.

This idea grew wildly in his mind.
