Richest Rag-picker
Chapter 275 - 274: A Bizarre Special Reward
[Host has picked up one copy of Jin Pingmei. System reward: 1,300 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the host’s bank account. Please check for receipt.]
[Host has picked up one copy of The Jade Lotus Seedpod. System reward: 1,100 yuan. The reward has been deposited into the host’s bank account. Please check for receipt.]
As the system’s notifications chimed in his mind, Fang Chenyi froze. A strange expression crept onto his face, and his hands stilled.
He cursed inwardly.
’Holy shit, they even have these kinds of classics! Fucking awesome!’
He glanced down at the book he was now holding. Well, would you look at that: *Postpartum Care for Sows*.
Seeing this completely confirmed Fang Chenyi’s suspicion. ’That’s right, this whole bookshelf is just for appearances.’
It was obvious they had just bought them as a complete set from some bookstore.
Shaking his head in resignation, he tossed *Postpartum Care for Sows* into the woven bag. A notification immediately chimed in his head.
[Host has picked up one copy of *Postpartum Care for Sows*, triggering a special system reward. Reward: Proficiency in Animal Midwifery and Postpartum Care. The reward has been automatically stored in the host’s mind. Please extract and use it at your discretion.]
"Holy fuck! What the hell!"
Hearing the sudden notification, Fang Chenyi was utterly dumbfounded. He stared at the woven bag in his hands for a long time, the two words ’holy shit’ echoing endlessly in his mind.
’Triggering a special reward is one thing, but what the hell is this sow postpartum care?! If I’d known this would happen, a reward from *Jin Pingmei* would’ve been way more useful!’
However, past experience told him that it was useless to complain. No matter how frustrated he felt, the special reward could not be changed.
He finally sighed in resignation. ’Ah, forget it. You can never have too many skills, I guess. Who knows, maybe I’ll raise pigs someday.’
With that thought, his mindset shifted. The skill might be pretty useless, but he could just pretend he never got it.
He took a deep breath, pushing aside all the random thoughts, and focused his attention back on the bookshelf.
This time, however, he didn’t grab the books directly in front of him. Instead, he moved to the middle of the shelf.
He reached out and pulled a book from the shelf. A quick glance revealed the title: *How to Manage a Corporation and Plan for Its Future*.
Nodding, he muttered to himself,
"Now *this* is the kind of book the chairman of a major corporation should be reading. Damn it, if I’d picked this one up earlier, I’d have been on cloud nine."
Even though he had decided not to dwell on the last reward, he couldn’t help but grumble. Shaking his head, he tossed the book into the woven bag, and a notification instantly chimed in his mind.
[Host has picked up one copy of *How to Manage a Corporation and Plan for Its Future*, triggering a special system reward. Reward: Proficiency in Corporate Management. The reward has been automatically stored in the host’s mind. Please extract and use it at your discretion.]
"Holy shit!"
As the voice sounded in his mind, Fang Chenyi let out another curse. This time, however, it wasn’t out of frustration, but pure shock and delight. It wasn’t just that he’d received two special rewards in a row; the reward itself was exactly what he needed most right now!
With this special reward, Fang Chenyi was on cloud nine. The gloomy mood from the sow midwifery reward vanished completely, and his hands flew toward the bookshelf, grabbing stacks of books.
Fang Chenyi moved quickly, grabbing entire stacks of books at once and tossing them into the woven bag. It seemed, however, that two special rewards in a row had been the limit. Even after he’d completely emptied the enormous bookshelf, no other special rewards appeared.
In just over half an hour, Fang Chenyi had collected at least several thousand books.
Even though he didn’t get any more special rewards, Fang Chenyi was content. The Proficiency in Corporate Management skill was more than enough to satisfy him.
His gaze swept over the rest of the office furnishings, and he hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he sighed. ’Forget it. If I clean this place out, my father-in-law will just have to refurnish it himself.’
With that thought, he shook his head and left the office.
However, after leaving that office, he turned and went straight into Lu Zhisen’s office.
’I’ll leave the chairman’s office for my father-in-law, but there’s no reason to spare Lu Zhisen’s office.’
’As for any potential criminal evidence, that’s simple. I just won’t touch his computer or anything like that.’
He walked to the door. The outer office was still empty; the uniformed secretary had also been taken away by the police.
Pushing open the door, he saw that this guy’s office also had a small, indoor putting green.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi walked right over to it.
’Damn, a toy like this couldn’t possibly be related to any criminal evidence, right?’
Holding his woven bag, he reached out, grabbed a set of golf clubs, and tossed them inside.
[Host has picked up ten golf clubs, triggering a special system reward. Reward: 100% ownership of the Jingcheng Heaven and Earth Golf Course. The transfer agreement has been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve it at your convenience.]
’Another special reward?’ This was the third one today. For a moment, Fang Chenyi’s excitement was palpable.
’Damn, three special rewards in a row in such a short time. This feels amazing!’
Of course, aside from the shitty sow midwifery reward, the other two were fantastic.
Spurred on by the three special rewards, Fang Chenyi was unusually energized. He took a trash grabber out of his woven bag and immediately went on a picking spree!
It took him about half an hour. By the end, Lu Zhisen’s entire office was empty, except for the desk and the items on it. Of course, Fang Chenyi wouldn’t bother picking up things like the guest sofa, which weren’t worth much and had no ’potential.’
This ’potential,’ of course, referred to the possibility of triggering a special reward with a high-value item after the system processed it!
Standing at the doorway, he looked back at the empty office, clapped his hands in satisfaction, and nodded, muttering to himself,
"Heh heh, not bad at all. I’ll tell my father-in-law later that this space can be turned back into a conference room."
With that, he turned to leave.
But just as his hand touched the doorknob, he froze. He immediately turned and walked back inside.
He muttered at the same time,
"Damn, I almost forgot!"
