My Perverse Equivalent Exchange System In Doomsday 5 Lived And Died In Their Motherland

*Ring* *Ring* Ri*

The alarm clock on Long Yu's nightstand barely managed to let out its cries before being abruptly stopped.

*Bam!*

His arm made a beautiful arc before his palm precisely slammed onto the snooze b.u.t.ton.

Long Yu slowly crawled out of his bed like a slug. He made his way to the bathroom and refreshed himself with a morning shower.

Not long after, a topless male with a well toned physique could be seen exiting the bathroom. The only thing that would ruin the image of his overall body was the countless scars on his left leg.

Long Yu was still a little groggy due to lack of sleep. He had originally planned to sleep early last night so that he could be well rested by the next day.

However, the swirling thoughts in his mind kept him awake for the whole night. From him obtaining the system to the revelation of Luo Xi's possible revival, everything felt like a dream for him.

Patting his cheeks in attempt to shake off his remaining sleepiness, Long Yu then put on clothes that were easy for him to move in.

Next, he ate a simple breakfast which consisted of a pre-packaged cream bread roll and a small carton of strawberry milk.

Having checked that he had brought everything he needed with him, he finally left his house.

'Xings.h.i.+'s Appliances Sc.r.a.pyard'

Long Yu looked at the words engraved on the gleaming metal signboard above his head.

He was currently standing at the entrance of one of Nanjing city's largest sc.r.a.pyard. It took an hour long bus trip to get here from his place.

The sc.r.a.pyard originally dealt with all kinds of sc.r.a.ps, including occasional small vehicles. However, due to the sudden influx of new and better consumer appliances appearing in the market during the recent years, things changed.

This could be said to be a result of Xings.h.i.+ Tech Appliances company's technological breakthrough. Thanks to the breakthrough, it lowered the company's manufacture cost drastically. As a result, the company also decided to sell their new products at a more affordable price to appeal to the ma.s.ses.

Within days of the products' release, they were already selling like hotcakes. Xings.h.i.+ Tech Appliances company heads were all grinning from ear to ear seeing the amount of money flowing in.

At the same time, many households also started to get rid of their old and broken appliances to make way for the new ones. This also resulted in an overwhelming amount of unwanted consumer products suddenly being discarded across the country.

Before it managed to alarm the government, Xings.h.i.+ Tech Appliances company quickly took the initiative to take over and build multiple sc.r.a.pyards in order to control the influx of disposed appliances.

Therefore, many of these sc.r.a.pyards that can be found across the country had part of the company's name in it.

Long Yu was here today to join the ranks of the sc.r.a.pyard's many scavengers. These so called scavengers have to pay the sc.r.a.pyard 100 yuan per entry.

After that, they are allowed to stay inside for the entire day, provided they don't leave the compound. What they are able to scavenge would be theirs to keep.

As he walked towards the counter to pay for his entry, he was not surprised to see the long queue. Many of the people standing in the line were men wearing sleeveless T-s.h.i.+rts. There were even some who were topless.

These included veteran scavengers as well as newcomers like him. It has almost become like a job for these veterans. As long as they knew what parts to look for, and were quick with their hands, they could make a profit from a day's scavenge.

Seeing a fresh face like Long Yu standing in the line, some gazes of curiosity were sent in his direction. A buff looking middle aged man who was standing next to him had a frown on his face.

It seems that he did not like having additional scavengers competing with him for parts. Long Yu who could easily read the man's thoughts, ignored him and went forward to pay the staff when his turn came.

As Long Yu entered the compound, he could not help but gasp at the sight. What he saw was endless amounts of old appliances, stacked upon each other forming countless colourful hills. Long Yu thought that these appliances truly lived and died in their motherland.

He felt that a person would definitely be squashed to death if even the smallest of those hills ever tipped on them.

Furthermore, although there were a lot of people streaming in, they were like ants compared to the size of the place.

Taking a deep breath, Long Yu dived in among the other scavengers. He first examined the objects on the outer parts to test the waters.

When the other scavengers saw his action, they sneered at him. One of the more muscular men even mocked him for his disability after seeing his limp.

However, no one laughed with the man at all. That was because some scavengers that came here were in the same situation as well.

Scavenging did not require too much exertion. As long as they had the ability and know-hows, they would be able to put food on the table.

Thus, many who did not manage to find a job due to their disabilities would turn to scavenging.

Long Yu did not even cast a glance at that muscular man. He merely walked away, heading deeper into the sc.r.a.pyard. The valuable parts of the old appliances in this area have already been stripped clean.

Seeing Long Yu ignoring him as well as the looks of disdain from the surrounding scavengers, the man's face turned red from embarra.s.sment.

As Long Yu walked along the hills of appliances, he was constantly using the system to check the worth of the sc.r.a.ps. He also reduced the descriptions of the scanned objects since he only wanted to check their value.
