Colorful flowers dot the straight streets, a faint scent of flowers wafts through the air, and on this sunny, fresh air morning, a beat-up tricycle creaks down Novel Street.

In the back seat of the tricycle, there was a young man, who was Liu Xing.

In the front seat of the tricycle, there is a middle-aged man riding a tricycle hard, the man is about twenty-seven years old, the skin is dark, the whole body is full of strong muscles, especially the well-developed biceps, quite shapely, at a glance you know that he must often do heavy physical work in the sun.

The sturdy man, Xing Wanli, used to move bricks at the construction site, but recently changed careers, pedaling a tricycle to collect scrap in the nearby area.

However, Xing Wanli is not here to collect scrap products today, but to help Liu Xing buy waste books.

Liu Xing has decided to buy scrap books on a large scale, and since it is a large-scale acquisition, the number of scrap books is naturally quite large, and it is necessary to use large-scale transportation. When he went out in the morning, Liu Xing happened to see Xing Wanli who was collecting waste on a tricycle, so he temporarily spent 300 yuan to hire Xing Wanli to use a tricycle to help him carry waste books.

"Boss Liu, why did you buy waste books?" Xing Wanli asked curiously while pedaling on the tricycle.

"Personal hobby. Liu Xing said casually.

"Boss Liu's hobby is really special!" Xing Wanli said, "I buy scrap because I have money to make, but not only can I not make money by buying scrap books, but I also have to lose money. ”

Xing Wanli's words are not wrong, for ordinary people, buying scrap books is equivalent to losing money.

The so-called waste books refer to books that have been sold in bookstores for several years.

Due to the large number of novels in Huaxia, a large number of waste books are produced every year. Even if these waste books are sold at a very low price, few people will buy them, and in the eyes of many, waste books are not even comparable to waste paper.

Because there is a law in China, the Law on the Protection of Novels, which clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to destroy novels in any form.

It is precisely because of the existence of the "Novel Protection Law" that waste books that cannot be sold in bookstores can neither be thrown away or damaged, nor can they be sold as waste paper, but can only be collected. If you don't want to collect, you can sell the waste books to the Reading Alliance, but the price of recycling is relatively low, and a copy can only be sold for a few cents to a few cents, and most booksellers are reluctant to sell it.

As a result, many bookstores have a backlog of discarded books in their stacks.

Liu Xing is preparing to buy a large number of waste books today to see if he can get star novels from them.

A few minutes later, when the tricycle rode to the Meiyangjia bookstore on Novel Street, it stopped.

"Lao Xing, you wait at the door first, and I'll call you later. ”

"Okay, Boss Liu. ”

After explaining, Liu Xing jumped off the tricycle and walked into Meiyangjia Bookstore, only to see Guo Meiyu, the proprietress of the bookstore, sitting in front of the computer and surfing the Internet.

Guo Meiyu is about twenty-four years old, with a figure of one meter six or seven, plus a pair of black high heels on her feet, her figure looks tall and slender, and she is quite beautiful.

As soon as he entered the bookstore, Liu Xing's eyes fell on the bookshelf behind Guo Meiyu's body.

"Isn't this Liu Xing?" Standing up, the proprietress Guo Meiyu stepped on high heels to greet her, "Why do you have time to come to me to play?"

Although Liu Xing hasn't done anything big, he is still a little well-known in Novel Street. Two years ago, he suffered from dementia, which many businesses in the Novel Street area had heard of, and Kwok had apparently heard of it.

"Hostess, I'm here to buy books today. Liu Xing went straight to the point.

Guo Meiyu smiled flatteringly: "What books do you want to buy, I have a lot of good books in this bookstore recently, do you want my sister to introduce you to a few?"

Liu Xing said bluntly: "I don't buy good books, but buy waste books." ”

"Waste books?" Guo Meiyu wondered, "Waste books are all garbage novels, difficult to see, what are you buying them for?"

"Collection. ”

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

"I never joke with pretty adult women. ”

"Oops, this little mouth is so sweet. Guo Meiyu smiled and said, "There are more than 400 waste books in my store, if you want it, take all the 500 yuan." ”

"Okay, I've got it all. ”

"These waste books are in the stack, and you have to carry them yourself. ”

"No problem. Liu Xing shouted outside the bookstore, "Lao Xing!"

"Great!"

……

Xing Wanli is worthy of professional manual work, and in less than ten minutes, more than 400 waste books were all moved from the library back to the tricycle.

After leaving Meiyangjia Bookstore, Liu Xing sat on Xing Wanli's tricycle and went to the next bookstore to continue his plan to buy scrap books.

In more than five hours, Liu Xing successively found 30 more bookstores, of which 14 bookstores bought all the waste books, with a total of more than 3,000 waste books, and the total purchase price was about 5,000 yuan.

Another 16 bookstores also have waste books, but the owners of these bookstores seem to think that Liu Xing is a fool and deliberately raise the price of waste books, and a waste book costs 7 yuan.

Liu Xing himself estimated that when the price of a scrapped book exceeded 5 yuan, the risk of losing money was relatively high.

He is now doing a small business and can't take too much risk, so he has to give up the acquisition of the bookstore that bids more than 5 yuan. Fortunately, there are many bookstores on Novel Street, and there are also many bookstores that are willing to sell scrap books at low prices.

"Lao Xing, it's almost over, let's transport these books back to the hotel first. ”

In the afternoon, Xing Wanli pulled more than 3,000 books on a tricycle, followed closely behind Liu Xing, and returned to the Mingxing Hotel.

When this cart of waste books appeared at the door of the hotel, Liu's father and Liu's mother were a little dumbfounded. However, they all know that Liu Xing has liked to read novels since he was a child, and it is understandable that he will buy so many books.

What's more, Liu Xing earned the money to buy books himself, and his parents let him go.

……

After dinner, Liu Xing returned to his room.

There were originally more than 2,000 books in the bedroom, and today more than 3,000 waste books have been acquired, and now Liu Xing's personal collection of books is close to 6,000 books, and one-third of the space in the entire room is occupied by books.

Sitting on a small bench, Liu Xing began his work - book appreciation.

Although reading books is a manual job, it is a physical work full of hope.

Every scrap book may be a buried star novel, and surprises may appear at any time in the process of appreciating books. If you can find a high-star novel, you can get rich overnight.

Therefore, Liu Xing enjoyed the process of appreciating books very much.

Just do it, along the order in which the waste books were placed, he identified them one by one, and maintained the speed of identifying 12 books a minute.

"The Happy Life of the Best Doctor", Doctor Novel, None, match 0.7%;

"Dark City: Steel Special Police", criminal investigation novel, none, match 1.2%;

"Under the Tree, I'm Waiting for You", romance novel, none, match 0.4%;

……

Two hours later, Liu Xing identified nearly 1,500 novels, but did not find half a star novel, only two ordinary novels that matched 15% with himself.

There is a certain element of luck in Taoshu, although the probability of finding a star-rated novel is 1 in 1,000, but it does not mean that you can find a star-rated novel for every 1,000 identified.

Liu Xing naturally understood this truth, he was not in a hurry, he did a set of eye exercises, let his eyes rest for a while, and then continued to immerse himself in reading.

In the next half hour, he appraised more than 300 copies, but still didn't get anything, and when he began to be able to get a little sleepy, the surprise finally appeared.

In the pile of waste books, Liu Xing picked up a novel with a white cover, called "The King of Sleep". On the cover of the book, a man is depicted sleeping in a very peculiar position, in an upside-down state.

Liu Xing is also a person who likes to be lazy, and when he saw this cover painting, he immediately became interested and immediately flipped through the novel.

Title: The King of Sleep

Category: Casual Fiction

Rating: 1 star

Match27%

"I've finally found a star novel. ”

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, the appearance of this "King of Sleep" gave him a reassurance, because its appearance is equivalent to explaining a problem - among the waste books, you can also find star novels!

The matching degree between this novel and Liu Xing is as high as 27%, and the reading value is still very high. He flipped through a few pages of "The King of Sleep", a novel about a man who loves to sleep, the protagonist of the novel invents many special sleeping techniques in order to sleep better, his bizarre behavior is out of place with the people around him, and the plot is light and funny, which makes people laugh.

"When you have insomnia in this novel, you can read it, maybe it will help you sleep ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Xing suddenly remembered Wang Lanlan's little girl, hasn't she been suffering from insomnia recently? If insomnia is not cured, this novel may be suitable for her.

"The King of Sleep" is a one-star casual novel, with a market price of between 500 yuan and 1,000 yuan, which is obviously not enough to solve Liu Xing's immediate urgency.

So, putting away "The King of Sleep", Liu Xing continued to identify other waste books, and after ten minutes, he made a new discovery.

"What kind of book is this?"
