Zhou Feng was furious. Who was it that made his already impoverished life even worse?

We must find this thief!

Let him be buried with his own little nest!

At this moment, Zhou Feng suddenly realized that it was a good opportunity to test out his newly acquired skills.

Then, a thought struck him, and he activated his snobbish perspective, instantly changing the world around him.

Zhou Feng looked around, and a series of information began to appear.

[One orange: It's rotten. A rotten orange is a rotten orange; it's not recommended to eat it.]

[A dumpster full of trash: there's nothing of value inside.]

[A discarded cardboard box: Inside was a rotten watch, worth $5]

……

Zhou Feng was overjoyed. This skill can be used like this?

Wouldn't it be invincible to use it for picking up trash?

He turned his gaze to the homeless people around him, and saw white words appearing above their heads.

[Name: Blaze Will, Wealth: 20 Gold Coins (Viewable)]

[Name: Remington Kochagin, Wealth: 10 Gold Coins (Viewable)]

……

As Zhou Feng expected, with his astonishing wealth of 200, he was enough to become the richest and most handsome guy on the street.

"Hmph, you shameless little thief, you won't escape death today!"

Zhou Feng chuckled and then began to check the information of each of the homeless people.

……

Suddenly, Zhou Feng felt something was off after seeing the information of one of the middle-aged men with a stubble.

[Name: William Cade]

[Personality Tags: (Kindness) (Courage) (Murderer) (Decisiveness)]

Zhou Feng was puzzled. Had he seen it wrong?

How did the words "kindness" and "murder" end up together?

Driven by curiosity, Zhou Feng continued to look down.

[Biography: Originally a highly skilled surgeon at Keck Hospital, University of Southern California, he was gradually marginalized by hospital management because he often paid for patients' medical expenses out of his own pocket and refused to charge extra. During one surgery, the management secretly altered patient data, causing the surgery to fail. He was dismissed, lost his income, and various bills led to his complete bankruptcy, leaving him homeless.]

After learning about William's life, Zhou Feng suddenly realized that William had been forced to take a life, which was why he was labeled a "murderer."

Zhou Feng has never bothered to criticize the American healthcare system.

The same appendicitis in China is just a matter of making an appointment, getting a consultation, having surgery the next day, and being back to normal seven days later.

Key expenses can be reimbursed by medical insurance.

In America, it means booking a doctor's appointment three months in advance, waiting in line for a consultation three months in advance, having a full-body checkup three months in advance, and then continuing to book appointments with specialists for another three months.

By going through all that process, a minor illness can turn into a major one.

The costs are already high; I'd be happy if the illness could be cured.

As a result, the doctor's medical skills were also reduced to that.

Most of them are only half-baked.

It hurts? Then take some painkillers.

Doctors like William, who possess both medical ethics and excellent medical skills, are extremely rare.

However, such people are often not given important positions and are mostly labeled as having excessive sympathy. In the end, bad money drives out good, and they end up being dismissed.

Zhou Feng could only shake his head regretfully and turn his gaze to the others.

I was shocked when I looked into it.

He discovered that most of the homeless people on this street were once glamorous "middle-class" individuals.

[Bruner Jacks: Formerly a bank manager at Wells Fargo, he was forced into bankruptcy due to his inability to pay his daughter's exorbitant medical bills, ultimately leading to the separation of his wife and children and becoming homeless.]

[Karami Kian: Formerly a network engineer, he suffered a severe decline in his professional skills due to an overdose of painkillers, was eventually fired from his company, had his car mortgaged, and ultimately became homeless.]

[Laud Mambo: A former veteran who served in the First World War, suffering from severe PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), he was forced to mortgage his house due to not receiving his due discharge pay, ultimately becoming homeless.]

……

Zhou Feng's eyes lit up. This wasn't some slum at all; it was clearly his own job market!

Doctors, teachers, white-collar workers, and other highly educated individuals were all killed by the "kill line" for various reasons.

Don't be fooled by their current disheveled and unkempt appearance; they were once middle-class. Although they have lost their wealth and status, each of them possesses unique skills.

As long as Zhou Feng makes good use of his snobbishness, he can select a trustworthy team from among them.

With a little more training, he can use it.

Not long ago, he was still struggling with how to set up his own company.

This is truly like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

Zhou Feng suppressed his joy and immediately put the matter of catching the thief out of his mind.

A grand plan quietly emerged in his mind.

For a company to grow, talent and money are essential.

But with his current meager savings of only $350, supporting himself is a problem, let alone paying others' salaries.

Ultimately, it all comes down to making money.

Zhou Feng's eyes darkened. Now... was that the only method left?

Zhou Feng casually picked up a trash bag from the roadside and began to wander aimlessly.

But his eyes were like a sophisticated instrument, scanning back and forth across everything in sight, leaving no corner or object unchecked.

Yes, he was picking up trash.

With the help of a keen eye for opportunity, you can pick up items one after another, and getting rich is just around the corner.

……

[An ordinary aluminum can, valued at 3 cents]

[A piece of cardboard that countless people have slept on, valued at 1 cent]

[A tattered cotton quilt with an unidentified liquid stuck to it, valued at: $3]

[A pair of ordinary reading glasses, valued at: $30]

[A trash can overflowing with garbage contains $300 that a woman accidentally left behind.]

Finally, just when Zhou Feng's eyes were almost dry from staring, a trash can gave him a big surprise.

"Holy crap, $300! I got it, guys!"

Zhou Feng couldn't hide his joy and excitedly walked towards the trash can, not caring about hygiene anymore, and reached in to scoop out the trash.

A short while later, he touched a hard object.

Zhou Feng picked it up and saw that it was a valuable leather wallet.

He opened his wallet, and sure enough, three bright green 100-yuan bills lay quietly inside. He pocketed them without hesitation.

It was already getting dark.

The sunset glow on the horizon grew ever more brilliant, turning the clouds crimson, like a magnificent and colorful painting.

Zhou Feng estimated the time and finished his jungling session for the day.

He whistled and leisurely left the place.

He muttered to himself along the way.

"Haha, jungling is so tiring, I've really had a tough day."

"Hahaha, not at all."

"Shouldn't we find a hotel, get a good night's sleep, and treat ourselves?"

"Hahaha, what a waste of your money."

……

Ten minutes later, Zhou Feng arrived at the front desk of a hotel and rented a single room for $65 a night, which had hot water and a TV.

It's worth noting that many hotels in the United States do not offer free Wi-Fi and require an additional fee.

But this didn't affect Zhou Feng, since he didn't have a cell phone anyway.

After swiping his card to open the door, Zhou Feng took off his dirty and smelly clothes and plunged into the bathroom.

I turned on the hot water and took a comfortable hot shower. The hot water washed over my body, as if washing away all the fatigue of the day.

Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, Zhou Feng felt a little unfamiliar with himself.

After taking a shower, he collapsed onto the soft bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
