Overgod Ascension

In this era, there was already a specialized profession of scavengers.

Moreover, with the current employment situation and the pitifully low garbage disposal and recycling rates, anyone who does this on a large scale will 90% lose money.

Wu Ming walked away from the garbage that Neville had worked hard to sort out, and came to another pile of things.

These are the "slightly interesting" gadgets that Neville found from the huge mountain of garbage according to Wu Ming's request.

Although 99% of them are real scraps, there are still one or two pieces that have good value.

"Um?"

For example, after walking around, Wu Ming found several broken gray and white plaster fragments. After combining them, he got a mermaid statue.

"Looking at the lines and the image of the scaly mermaid, it should be the style of the Luo Kai period 300 years ago. It can barely be regarded as a work of art. Although it is not the work of a famous artist, if it is glued up properly, it will still look like a work of art. It has some collection value..."

Wu Ming's knowledge of appreciation has improved by leaps and bounds due to his strong memorization of knowledge and his eagerness to study.

In particular, his mental power is beyond ordinary people, and he can sense the vicissitudes of history on real antiques very clearly. Within a small area, it is basically impossible to escape his induction.

Find old objects in the garbage, and then use your identification knowledge to identify the source. These originally worthless things may become antiques and works of art!

After all, during the previous war period, amid all the turmoil and chaos, how many people would care about this? Coupled with the war, a lot of good things must have been circulated and thrown away as garbage by ignorant people, but with the advent of peace, the value of antiques will still rise.

Wu Ming's plan is to find a few items of some value, and then he can take them directly home and let James sell them.

There is no need for any priceless treasures, just a few ordinary things, which may be enough to improve the economic conditions of the entire family quickly.

Of course, for this purpose, other cover for the recycling of waste paper and steel must continue to be done.

Moreover, Wu Ming still has a little expectation.

In the novels of the previous life, didn’t there always be scenes about picking up some treasure while picking up rubbish? Maybe you can pick up a few extraordinary items by doing this. Although the chance is very small, it doesn't mean it won't happen, right?

…

"I'm back!"

At night, after processing the batch of waste paper and scrap steel, Wu Ming took a reward with a face value of 5 horns, smiled bitterly, and immediately returned home.

"Hey Steven, how was your 'business' today?"

James and Mrs. Sterling looked at each other, both feeling proud of having discovered their son's little secret.

"It's okay! We'll continue tomorrow."

If you include the mermaid statue, Wu Ming is quite satisfied with this return rate.

"Well……"

James and Mrs. Sterling looked at each other. They originally thought that Steven should be severely shocked. Why is he still looking so high-spirited?

"Steven!"

James' face suddenly became serious: "If you want to help your classmates, there are many ways, no need to do this specifically!"

‘Are you thinking that I am a good old man and deliberately sending money to Neville? ’

Wu Ming rolled his eyes in his heart, thought for a while, and took out the mermaid statue: "Brandon, Angelina, please go out for a while!"

When Wu Ming spoke with a straight face, there was naturally a sense of majesty. Even James and Mrs. Sterling also attached great importance to their son's opinions. Although Brandon muttered a few words dissatisfied, he still ran back. room, slamming the door shut.

"What is this? A toy? It looks pretty good..."

James said casually.

"This is a mermaid statue from the Luo Kai period. There are very few in stock now. I think its value should be between 100 and 300 gold dollars. Of course, if it hadn't been broken, the price would have increased!"

"puff!"

James squirted out a mouthful of water: "What did you say?"

Even during the period when he was very prosperous, 300 gold dollars was still a lot of money.

"This is what I got from picking up trash today, do you understand? You can take it and sell it tomorrow, but be careful, this is a collection passed down from our family, not picked up from outside!"

Wu Ming emphasized his tone.

"Honey, this seems to be the real thing!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sterling recalled: "I once saw a statue similar to this. The price at that time was 3,000 gold dollars. Of course, that was the price if it was intact!"

"Haha...we are rich!"

James cheered: "Yes, this is what has been passed down in our family, hum! No one can question it. After all, your mother is still a quarter of a viscount!"

"Um?"

Wu Ming stared at Mrs. Sterling. He really didn't know this.

"To put it this way, it's like a treasure mountain there..."

James smiled and said: "How about I won't work tomorrow, so we can go and do some browsing together?"

"just you?"

Mrs. Sterling rolled her eyes: "Even if I put the antique in front of you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to tell it apart! Our little Steven is the best!"

She kissed Wu Ming's cheek: "How did you come up with this?"

"I used to go to the auction houses and exhibition halls in the city, and it wasn't for nothing..."

Wu Ming had already thought of an excuse: "After knowing that those things were valuable, I specially used my status as a prefect to get the library's entry card, and borrowed a lot of books on this subject to read..."

"Steven, you are such a genius!"

James picked up Wu Ming and threw him into the air. He stopped this action when Wu Ming strongly protested: "Haha... you have the talent of an antique appraiser! No! You are a very powerful appraiser, God. Now! If you were not young, you could already try to get a job as an appraiser..."

James swallowed: "Even the lowest appraiser in the auction house, his salary is several times that of mine..."

"Well...I'm going to do this during this holiday. Also, I think these things will appreciate in value as the peace time prolongs, so don't sell them early, and..."

Wu Ming mentioned a few more things to note, making James and Mrs. Sterling nod their heads.

…

A lot of changes have taken place during this summer.

Brandon and Angelina felt it most clearly. First of all, the food at home has been significantly improved. They have butter and white bread every day, as well as fried chicken and barbecue.

Soon, their family moved out of the noisy apartment building and moved to a middle-class area of ​​the city, renting a villa similar to the one before.

After getting a large amount of start-up capital, James could finally start trying to start his own business. Taking advantage of the economic recovery, he quickly became prosperous.

At this time, the middle school section of St. George's School also started.

"Just send me here, bye!"

Wu Ming quickly jumped off the steam car and waved his hand to James inside.

For a businessman, driving a steam car is more dignified than riding a bicycle or taking a bus, and it is easier to gain the trust of partners.

James naturally understood this truth, and under Wu Ming's persuasion, he finally sold a few old antiques and went to the second-hand car market to pick out a steam car with decent performance.

Since then, the life of the Sterling family seems to have returned to the past. Even the smile on Mrs. Sterling's face has been gradually increasing recently, and her whole person seems to be much younger.

St. George's Middle School is not in the same direction as the elementary school, but is located on the outskirts of the city, far away from the industrial area. The scenery looks quite good.

"Hi!"

At this time, a group of freshmen were going through the formalities. Vidi was with his parents, and next to him were Phillip and Alice. They waved their hands vigorously after seeing him.

"Hi, how was your vacation?"

"It's not bad, but you must be doing well!"

Vidi looked at Wu Ming's outfit and immediately knew that this little friend's family conditions had been greatly improved.

"Well, my family has started a small business, and thanks to the blessing of the kingdom, it has finally made some progress! I will handle the procedures myself. Where is the registration point?"

Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"I'll take you!"

Vidi volunteered to lead the way for Wu Ming: "The rules in the middle school are much looser than those in the elementary school. In addition to the prescribed courses every day, there is still a lot of free time..."

He seemed very excited.

"oh?"

Wu Ming blinked: "Is the school willing to do this?"

"Yeah, we can have fun for a while!"

Vidi laughed several times and was very happy.

"Steven, don't listen to Vidi's nonsense!"

Alice next to her suddenly interrupted. This girl seemed to have grown a lot during this time and became more beautiful: "In the middle school department, in addition to courses, you must also join a club!"

"Detective Club, Kendo Club, Commerce Club, Wisdom Club, Physics Club, Chemistry Club... You must choose one to join, this is very important!"

Alice emphasized her tone: "According to the information I heard, the studies in the middle school department only allow us to solidify our foundation, and these clubs are the focus and development direction that determine your future... For example, if you want to enter the Royal Police Academy, it is best to join the detective program. Club, the military academy is the fighting club and the wisdom club. If you want to be a scientific researcher in the future, it is the physics club and the chemistry club..."

She came closer and lowered her voice: "Not only do these clubs regularly organize targeted study and exam training, I also heard that those club presidents are key candidates on the recommendation list! What about you, what do you want to do in the future?"

"This... I don't know..."

Wu Ming shrugged: "Let's take a look first..."

But he thought silently in his heart: 'After the cramming education, are we going to do targeted training again? So university is just for further studies? It seems quite reasonable! ’
