UPWR1BY Chapter 043: Driving a Sports Car and Picking Up Girls, That's a Man's Ultimate Goal
Upon hearing the notification sound, Ye Xiu smiled. Even ants are meat; small gains add up. One shouldn't be too greedy. He continued on his way.
"Ding, you picked up a mineral water bottle. Reward: 50,000 yuan."
"Ding, you picked up a small advertisement. Reward: 50,000 yuan."
"Ding..."
Along the way, there weren't many people who needed help, but there was plenty of litter to pick up. Ye Xiu was a bit puzzled. Were people's manners really this bad nowadays? Did they just throw garbage on the ground? Couldn't they take a few more steps to throw it into a trash can? It was really outrageous!
Bend down!
I'll pick it up!
"Ding, you picked up a plastic bag. Reward: 10,000 yuan."
Hmm, nice!
Ye Xiu happily continued his journey of picking up litter along the way and casually threw it into the nearby trash cans.
As he bent down to pick up a mineral water bottle, he suddenly heard an old man shouting behind him.
"Hey, young man, please don't pick it up anymore, I'm exhausted."
Ye Xiu paused, but still picked up the mineral water bottle. However, this time he didn't throw it away, but looked back.
An old man panting heavily, carrying a garbage bag, was rummaging through the trash cans by the roadside. The things the old man pulled out looked somewhat familiar to Ye Xiu. Weren't those the things he had just thrown away?
The old man took out the mineral water bottle that Ye Xiu had just thrown away and put it into his own garbage bag.
Panting, he said to Ye Xiu, "Young man, please stop picking it up. If you keep doing it, this old man will be exhausted."
Evidently, the old man was going to sell these bottles and cans for money, but Ye Xiu's actions had added an extra step to his process. Originally, the old man only needed to pick them up from the ground. But now he had to watch Ye Xiu pick one up, throw it into the trash can, and then follow to pick it up again.
Understanding the reason, Ye Xiu smiled and handed the bottle in his hand to the old man. "Sorry, I didn't see you behind me."
"It's okay, it's okay," the old man waved his hand and said earnestly, "I can see that you're very environmentally conscious, good for you. However, I still want to say a few words to you."
Ye Xiu: "???"
"Go ahead, sir."
"As a person, you must have dreams, otherwise, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?" The old man said seriously.
Ye Xiu: (⊙_⊙)?
Then the old man started to give Ye Xiu some advice.
"Look, young man, you're still very young, you should find a good job and make more money! You look pretty handsome, why not go pick up a few girls?"
With that, the old man looked at Ye Xiu with a look of disappointment. "What's the point of picking up trash here if you don't have anything else to do?"
Ye Xiu realized.
The old man thought he was idling around all day, which was why he was picking up trash here. Who with a job and normal brain would come here to pick up trash all the time? And he picked up litter all the way!
He was making the old man tired!
Understanding this, Ye Xiu smiled.
Swoosh—
Just then, the sound of brakes suddenly came from beside him.
Both Ye Xiu and the old man looked over.
A pink Ferrari, looking handsome, stopped in front of Ye Xiu.
The old man started again, "Driving a sports car and picking up girls, that's a man's ultimate goal." Otherwise, while others are driving sports cars, you can only stand by and watch..."
