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

"Comrade Chen Chen, I have a small request," General Li said.

"General Li, please speak."

"I hope the military will buy some of the food you receive in the future. The price can be whatever you want."

"Sure, I'll sell it to the military region at half price from now on." Chen Chen didn't refuse.

"No need, no need, just sell it to others at the price you pay."

General Li had eaten those things. Although Chen Chen said they were "garbage" brought back from the garbage disposal center, they were still the fruits of Chen Chen's labor.

These foods taste good and are highly nutritious, and he wanted to occasionally treat the soldiers to a special meal as a reward.

He had also seen the investigation results. Chen Chen was indeed a good kid. He paid all the taxes he was owed for the money he earned, and he also donated 1 billion yuan to charity. It is said that more funds will be added in the future.

How could he possibly let Chen Chen give him a discount?

"The warehouse is ready, let's go there now," General Li said after receiving the message from his guard.

"it is good."

The group got into the car and headed to the military warehouse.

Many people, all of whom knew the truth, had already arrived at the warehouse.

The commander and deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region, leaders of the Bureau of Abnormal Events, leaders and researchers of the Institute of Unnatural Research, soldiers who signed confidentiality agreements...

Chen Chen walked awkwardly to everyone and greeted them politely.

The warehouse was surprisingly spacious, about half the size of a football field. The floor was made of hard terrazzo, and rows of incandescent lights on the ceiling illuminated the entire warehouse as bright as day, leaving no shadow untouched.

"Comrade Chen Chen, is this alright?" General Li asked.

Chen Chen nodded and took a deep breath.

Then, with a gentle flick of the wrist, the fingertips brushed lightly across the spatial ring.

The next second, countless plant remains of various shapes appeared out of thin air—arm-long thorns, half-meter-long plant hairs, broken and strange branches, palm-sized colorful leaves... With a rustling sound, these things were like waves that rose out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, they piled up into a small mountain in the center of the warehouse.

In just a short while, the warehouse, which was over a thousand square meters, was completely filled, leaving almost no room to step.

Everyone froze in place, their composure completely gone.

The wonder of spatial storage was already astonishing enough, but the withered branches of these otherworldly plants covering the mountains and fields seemed to have torn open a door to a new world before their eyes.

Academician Zhang and his team at the research institute were completely stunned. Some people couldn't help but reach out to touch the glowing leaves. Their fingertips almost touched them, but they quickly pulled their hands back as if they had been burned, as if afraid of disturbing some sleeping secret.

"I...I can't fit any more." Chen Chen said innocently, looking at the "garbage" piled up to the ceiling.

The entire warehouse fell into a deathly silence.

In the utter silence, where you could hear a pin drop, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the crowd.

After a long silence, the young staff officer with the lowest rank in the military region was the first to recover, his voice slightly unsteady: "I...we have a backup warehouse right next door, even bigger than this one!"

The group, as if waking from a dream, moved in a large group to the warehouse next door.

This spare warehouse was indeed more spacious, about the size of a football field, with only a few temporary long tables on the empty floor.

Chen Chen didn't hesitate and waved his hand again.

Pale blue mantra petals fell like snowflakes, covering the ground with a layer a meter thick.

A large pile of bright red addictive beans gleamed warmly under the light;

Boxes of air purifiers shaped like Monstera deliciosa are neatly arranged.

There were also strangely shaped otherworldly weapons, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, and clothes made of strange, soft yet resilient fabrics, piled quietly in the corner...

Chen Chen kept a little bit of everything.

He couldn't explain what use these remaining supplies were, but he figured that since the space ring had a huge capacity, keeping them might be useful in the future.

He kept eight air purifiers for his own use, and placed the remaining 9,990 in the warehouse.

General Li stood behind Chen Chen, looking at the mountain of alien supplies before him, his face still showing shock for a long time.

He had lived most of his life, braving gunfire and stormy seas, but he had never seen such a shocking scene.

Not to mention that he had never seen anything like it before, no one present, except Chen Chen, had ever seen such a scene.

Li Shaoqing was squeezed in the crowd, so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. He subconsciously took two steps back, only managing to steady himself after bumping his back against the soldier behind him.

He muttered to himself, "My God... this... this is like bringing the entire alien base back?"

The military leaders managed to maintain their composure, but their faces had long lost their usual calmness, and the turmoil in their eyes was impossible to hide.

The people from the Non-Natural Research Institute couldn't contain themselves any longer. With the commander's tacit approval, a group of them pounced on the supplies like wild horses.

Academician Zhang went straight to the pile of petals, put on white gloves with trembling hands, carefully picked up a petal, and examined it closely under the light.

The young researchers circled around the air purifier, marveling at the patterns on its blades.

Some people even held the handful of addiction-relieving beans, turning them over and over, wishing they could immediately take them back to the lab to slice and study them.

The warehouse instantly became lively, with exclamations, discussions, and the scratching of pens and paper mingling together to create a fervent symphony belonging to researchers.

Standing amidst the clamor, Chen Chen looked at the excited faces before him and suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

The items brought back from the survival dungeon finally have their due value.

"Very well, Comrade Chen Chen, I thank you on behalf of the country." The commander held Chen Chen's hands with both hands, his grip firm and earnest.

"No, no, this is what we Chinese should do." Chen Chen bowed slightly, his tone extremely sincere.

"Comrade Chen Chen, you've worked hard today. I'll have someone take you to your lodgings to rest. Tomorrow, we'll officially award you a medal as a meritorious soldier." The commander patted the back of his hand, his eyes full of kindness and approval.

"Thank you, boss."

Chen Chen and Li Shaoqing were led by soldiers to the VIP floor of the military region's guesthouse.

As a key participant, Li Shaoqing needed to stay temporarily, so he was arranged to stay in the room next to Chen Chen's. There were soldiers on guard at the door and the stairwell, which was well-prepared but not oppressive.

The moment Chen Chen pushed open the guest room door, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

The room was spacious and airy, with light gray bedding laid out neatly. Washed seasonal fruits were placed on the coffee table, and the warm yellow wall lamps made the room exceptionally cozy, completely overturning his preconceived notions about military guesthouses.

"Wow, that's impressive, bro. That's top-notch treatment." Li Shaoqing poked his head in and exclaimed in amazement.

Chen Chen smiled but didn't reply.

Li Shaoqing stretched and said, "After a long day, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

After saying that, he turned and went back to his room. After the door closed softly, the corridor returned to silence.

Chen Chen walked to the window and lifted a corner of the heavy curtains. The night outside was thick, and the streetlights of the military area formed a warm yellow band of light. The warehouse in the distance was still brightly lit, suggesting that it would be very busy there tonight.

He raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temples. Even though he hadn't done any heavy work, he exuded a deep sense of exhaustion.

After a quick wash, Chen Chen lay down on the bed, but sleepiness lingered.

His phone was temporarily stored away. He was worried about whether Ji Yunli was alright, and even more regretful that he probably wouldn't be able to make it to his parents' housewarming party tomorrow.

Images flashed through my mind: the mountains of supplies piled up in the warehouse today, the leaders' solemn instructions, and the warm smiles of my family—a jumbled yet vivid picture.

Unconsciously, his fingers rubbed the watch on his wrist, and he suddenly remembered the 10,000 star coins that Green Fruit had given him—enough to open a StarNet shop.
