6: Iced tea at the construction site!

Rubbing his hands, Su Yun was a little excited.

It was the second day of the show, the second day of picking up junk, and he could finally fill his basket!

Photographer Wang Fan followed closely behind Su Yun.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He found a sack and diligently picked up plastic bottles on the ground.

Money, money, money, it's all money... — [Hahaha, look at how unpromising those two are, they're going to make me die of laughter!]

— [It's all money, picking up junk is just picking up money...]

— [Learned something new, construction sites are great places to pick up junk!]

— [Speaking of which, the promotional ambassador chosen by Longhai City Police Bureau is a bit of a contrast...]

— [Just put on a show, do you really expect to pick up a type 38 rifle every day?]

...

Su Yun's livestream room's popularity continued to grow steadily.

Currently, he ranks over 180th in the show's popularity rankings.

The ranking changes constantly based on the livestream's situation, it's not fixed.

The backend livestream monitoring team leader occasionally paid attention to Su Yun and his group.

He found that Su Yun and Wang Fan were very good at creating content.

They delivered show effects very quickly, and without any pretenses... "It's good that they don't have idol burdens. Some people can't bring themselves to do it, and naturally, they can't make a living this way."

The monitoring team leader nodded in agreement.

"Team leader, they're just picking up junk, what kind of idol burden do they need?"

"If they can pick up two more plastic bottles a day, that's already good!"

A staff member explained with a smile.

"This group of theirs, I estimate, should be the most difficult..."

"The Police Bureau just awarded them 2,000 yuan in cash, a breakfast, plus a taxi ride, and they've already spent nearly two hundred yuan!"

"Moreover, they still need to eat and find accommodation. At this rate of spending, 2,000 yuan might not last a week..."

"Who can guarantee that they'll find things to pick up every day?"

Among all professions, picking up junk is the most unstable.

Fortunately, Su Yun and Photographer Wang Fan were relatively optimistic.

They walked and stopped.

In a short while, they had collected more than half a basket of recyclables at the construction site... "Brother, actually, I don't think picking up junk is bad at all."

"I didn't get a chance to tell you this morning."

"Do you know that yesterday, on the first day of the show, two people were eliminated!"

The two sat under the shade of a tree.

Photographer Wang Fan said.

"Two people eliminated on the first day yesterday?"

That fast?

Su Yun was quite surprised.

Among all professions, were there conditions worse than his junk-picking?

He started with a gripper and a basket, and his food and drink all depended on what he picked up... He thought he was miserable enough.

"What happened?"

"Logically, with a normal job, they shouldn't be eliminated, right?"

In every profession, there's a top performer.

The show's purpose should be this.

Since they were selected, it means the profession must be able to sustain life.

It's just a matter of good or bad.

To be eliminated on the very first day, what kind of talent must that be?

"Hehe..."

"Brother, speaking of these two people, they're quite interesting."

"The first person, his profession was very good, he was a zoo keeper."

"A jack-of-all-trades profession, feeding animals every day, strolling around, simple, relaxed, he could totally lie flat."

"But then, an accident happened yesterday. This contestant, while feeding a Siberian tiger..."

"Netizens in the livestream room shouted for the Streamer to get closer, saying they hadn't seen a Siberian tiger and wanted to see if it had single or double eyelids..."

"He messed up, and a feeding Siberian tiger bit his arm."

"An ambulance took him away that same day!"

"After getting bandaged up, this guy stopped filming the show and just lay in his hospital bed, threatening to sue the show in court!"

Pfft...

Su Yun genuinely couldn't hold back, the corners of his lips curved into a smile.

— [Hahaha, I know, I know, I was in that guy's livestream room at the time!]

— [That netizen who sent the bullet comment was really mean! But that Streamer was really daring!]

— [Unbelievable!]

"What about the second one? What was the situation with the second one?"

Su Yun couldn't help but ask.

Photographer Wang Fan scratched his head, thinking for a while.

"The second one, his profession was an acrobat."

"It was very simple..."

"While performing 'chest-breaking-boulders,' his skills weren't good enough, he was smashed till he vomited blood, internal injuries!"

"He's also lying in a hospital bed now, waiting to sue the show in court..."

"Oh right, those two guys are in the same hospital room..."

Where there are dragons, there are also phoenixes...

Thinking about it.

Su Yun felt that picking up junk wasn't so bad either.

At least, he didn't have to feed wild beasts or perform 'chest-breaking-boulders.'

Pat, pat...

Dusting off his clothes, Su Yun got up, ready to continue picking.

Suddenly, after he walked a few steps forward.

In his sea of consciousness, the system radar scanned, and dense red dots appeared ten meters ahead.

The location was very secluded.

Red dots meant scrap metal... Su Yun never worried about picking up the wrong things or accidentally picking up other people's belongings.

System radar scan: automatically identifies ownerless items.

"This time I've hit the jackpot..."

Dense red dots, even if they were short, thick steel rods, they could still sell for a few yuan, right?

"Little Wang, come here, I found a good spot."

Su Yun brought Photographer Wang Fan along.

The two arrived at the densely packed red dots.

Here, the soil was very loose.

It was a corner in the construction site's angle.

"Brother, there's nothing here."

"Find something and try digging..."

With his previous experience of digging out the type 38 rifle, Su Yun found a very thick branch.

He started digging the soil below.

Digging with a branch was slow, but fortunately, the soil was very loose... With a "shhh" sound.

The branch poked something, something very soft... "Strange, why did it suddenly get so smelly?"

Wang Fan suddenly frowned, couldn't help but retch, looking at the half-meter deep pit he had dug, he suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Could it be that he dug up a dead dog or a dead cat or something?

It's so smelly and disgusting, it smells very much like rotting, spoiled meat!

As they dug deeper, the stench became more pronounced.

Wang Fan was now staring at the deep pit.

The depth was already nearly a meter, and it was pitch black below, with loose soil constantly falling down, making it impossible to see what it actually was.

But the smell was something the soil couldn't cover.

Inside the deep pit, a dead-mouse smell was still emanating.

The smell grew thicker and thicker.

Now, it smelled extremely nauseating.

It was like rotting meat festering in a damp area, then constantly being heated and cooked!

If he sniffed carefully, it was as if he had met his great-grandfather!

"Ugh!"

"Yue..."

"What is this! Ugh! Why is it so smelly!"

"My bile is about to come out..."

Photographer Wang Fan's face was pale.

At this moment, he wished he could throw up the breakfast he had eaten that morning.

He just wanted to know what was down there!

"Damn..."

"Could it be that we really dug up some dead cat or dead dog?"

"How can it be so smelly?"
