Honkai: Star Rail: I Become a Star God by Scavenging

Lu Xiu, a cleaner on the lowest level of the Rusty Iron train, spends every day wearing an explosive collar as he cleans up the memory pollutants discarded by the nobility. Until one day, he finds a glowing screw in a toilet bowl...

The Universal Garbage Recycling System activates!

Appraise anything: a damaged Stellaron becomes material for a planet-destroying cannon; a worn-out divine eye becomes an SS-rank skill.

Scavenge across time and space: fragments of a rock spear from Teyvat, a discarded AI from Cyberpunk, the mechanical remains of a Machine God from Warhammer 40,000... All become part of his junk collection!

When the nobles sneer that a trash picker has no business touching a Stellaron, Lu Xiu turns around and assembles a Star God battle suit out of trash cans. When the train stops at a bizarre station, he uses pages of strange rules he scavenged to strike back at the mastermind.

This train, this universe... are nothing but heaps of garbage waiting to be recycled.

From a rusted train car to the throne of the Star Gods, Lu Xiu grins as he drags along a battered woven sack:

“My name is Lu Xiu. Starting today, I'm scavenging the entire universe!”
