21: Unpack all boxes, special waste

Han Fei carefully reviewed his data and then murmured in confusion, "Why is my Kill Value 27?"

Killing a single Garbage Monster only yields 1 Kill Value.

He certainly hadn't killed 27 Garbage Monsters on the street earlier.

"Could it be those tentacles?" Han Fei suddenly realized.

When facing the giant Garbage Monster, he used his superpower to devour more than a dozen tentacles.

But the environment at that time was too noisy, and Han Fei's attention was focused on the tentacles, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't notice the System's notifications.

"It must have been then that I gained the Kill Value."

The more Han Fei thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and a wave of secret joy washed over him.

27 Kill Value was no small sum; he just didn't know what he could buy with it.

Han Fei then shifted his attention to his upgrade progress and the number of milestones.

"My upgrade progress is sufficient, but unfortunately, I'm still three milestones short."

Level 6 to Level 7 requires 8 milestones.

Looking at the room full of black iron treasure chests, Han Fei asked the System, "System, how many times do I need to open black iron treasure chests to obtain milestones?"

"First time, hundredth time, thousandth time, ten thousandth time, hundred thousandth time, millionth time..."

"If I open all these black iron treasure chests in the room, I'll definitely unlock the Ten Thousand Times milestone."

Han Fei stroked his chin, thinking thoughtfully.

"In that case, I'll only be two milestones short. Where should I unlock them?"

Han Fei shook his head, no longer pondering it, and decided to unlock the Ten Thousand Times Chest Opening first.

Looking at the treasure chests that filled the room, Han Fei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I'll deal with this tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Han Fei embarked on the painful yet joyful journey of opening treasure chests.

Opening one or two treasure chests is easy; opening a few hundred isn't too difficult.

But opening tens of thousands of them is hard labor.

Moreover, Han Fei had the 'Infinite Matryoshka Doll' Cheat, which directly doubled the workload of opening chests.

Soon, the monotonous work of opening chests began.

One black iron treasure chest after another was opened.

One branded trash can after another burst out.

Even with Han Fei's black iron Hundredfold Luck, which increased the drop rate of rare items by a hundredfold, the environmental protection treasure chests were still incredibly trashy.

Han Fei opened thousands of them in one go, and aside from branded trash cans and a few somewhat special pieces of trash, there was nothing good.

It's worth mentioning that the large amount of trash opened from the treasure chests significantly boosted Han Fei's performance.

Crack.

Another treasure chest opened.

A large pile of smelly stockings burst out.

Stockings flew everywhere, and several torn ones coincidentally landed on Han Fei's head.

"What's that smell? It's awful."

Han Fei pinched his nose, raised his right hand, and a pale green mini trash can slowly rotated, sucking all the smelly black stockings into it.

'Performance + 32'

'Performance + 21'

'Performance + 19'

...Soon, all the smelly black stockings were absorbed, leaving not even a trace of the smell.

"This superpower is really useful; it saves me a lot of trouble," Han Fei couldn't help but exclaim.

If he didn't have his superpower, the trash from thousands of black iron treasure chests would definitely fill his room, and if he didn't clean it up, he wouldn't be able to continue opening chests.

And some of the trash was difficult to clean.

Things like sputum, unknown viscous liquids, foul-smelling fluids, maggot corpses, and so on.

Han Fei felt nauseous just looking at this trash; cleaning it by hand was a nightmare to even imagine.

Then Han Fei opened a few more black iron treasure chests.

As expected, a large pile of garbage bags and a few trash cans burst out.

So far, almost over ninety percent of the treasure chests had yielded these two items.

'Ring-a-ling!'

Just then, a phone call came in.

"Hello, is this Mr. Han Fei?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the line.

"Yes, it's me. Who is this?"

"I'm the liaison for the Special Guard Team's Twelfth Squadron. Captain Ye has been busy these past few days, so she asked me to contact you. You can call me Xiao Mei," the sweet voice introduced herself.

She then continued, "I'm calling to inform you that there's no update yet on the matter you inquired about yesterday. We've already sent people to investigate, but we haven't found out who took your bronze and silver treasure chests yet."

"Alright, I understand. Please help me find the treasure chests as soon as possible," Han Fei urged.

He naturally wanted to retrieve the treasure chests quickly to avoid any further complications.

"Alright, we'll do our best. By the way, what are your plans? Do you want to return to our Twelfth Division, or continue staying at your home?" Xiao Mei asked.

Han Fei glanced at the treasure chests filling the room and said without hesitation, "I have some matters to attend to at home."

"Alright, Mr. Han, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

After hanging up, Han Fei didn't idle; he continued his journey of opening treasure chests.

He opened them from morning until noon, then from noon until night, and then from night until late at night.

After more than ten hours.

Han Fei finally finished opening all the treasure chests and sorted through everything he had obtained.

Although the haul from this chest opening wasn't exceptionally good, it certainly wasn't bad either.

After all, Han Fei had black iron Hundredfold Luck, and with enough openings, he was bound to get some good things.

First, there was that large pile of branded trash cans.

The fact that branded trash cans could harm Garbage Monsters had already spread online, and many people were offering high prices to acquire them.

Depending on the brand, prices ranged from thousands to tens of thousands.

After all, no one knew when a Garbage Monster might appear, and having an extra branded trash can provided an additional means of self-preservation.

Therefore, there were many people buying branded trash cans online, so selling them was not an issue.

Aside from branded trash cans, the rare items opened from the black iron environmental protection treasure chests were only some special pieces of trash.

Han Fei took out his phone and photographed all three hundred-plus special pieces of trash arranged on the floor.

He then called Xiao Mei.

"I opened some strange things from the treasure chests and wanted you to help me identify them."

"Alright, Mr. Han, you can just send the pictures via text message to this phone number, and I'll help you check them as soon as possible."

Han Fei then spent a few minutes uploading all the pictures.

He initially thought it would take until the next day to receive the results, but in less than an hour, Xiao Mei sent them over.

And she thoughtfully categorized these pieces of trash by value.

First was the lowest tier, valued at less than one thousand yuan.

This tier had the most trash, a total of 284 items.

"It seems my judgment isn't quite good enough," Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head.

Many pieces of trash came out of the environmental protection treasure chests, most of which were useless; only a very small portion looked like they had some value.

Han Fei almost entirely relied on his naked eye to judge.

Those he kept were pieces of trash he thought might be useful, so it was normal to misjudge some.

Next was the one thousand to ten thousand yuan tier, with a total of 51 items.

The trash in this tier had some value, but its practicality was not high. Han Fei planned to sell all of it, which should earn him eighty to ninety thousand yuan.

Finally, there was the tier above ten thousand yuan. Such trash could already be considered quite valuable, but unfortunately, the quantity was very small, only 5 items.

These were a worn ceramic bowl, a tattered doll covered in black runes, a broken gold-rimmed pair of glasses, a bloodshot eyeball, and a black iron magic pen broken in half.

In addition to these three tiers, totaling 339 pieces of trash, there were also 3 pieces of trash whose origins Xiao Mei could not ascertain.

However, Xiao Mei's analysis indicated that these three pieces of unknown trash were worth at least one thousand yuan each.
