In the 28th century AD, the earth's ecology is on the verge of collapse, and human living space has been compressed into the giant city "Sky City" and the surrounding wasteland controlled by the super enterprise "Eternal Life Group". Relying on its monopoly of biotechnology and energy matrix technology, the Yongsheng Group has developed a "spiritual ascension" technological immortality system that allows wealthy people to extend their lives, master extraordinary powers, and become "new immortals." The vast number of people at the bottom of the society, "dust people", are excluded and live in lower-class areas where resources are scarce.
The protagonist Li Fan, a young scavenger struggling in the "Settlement Zone", accidentally obtained a strange program called "Wandao BUG Compensation System". The system claims to assist in cultivating immortals, but the tasks are unbelievable and the rewards are "wrong", which can be called a "cheating".
With his unyielding determination and survival wisdom, Li Fan embarked on the path of cultivating immortality under the "guidance" of the system. He used discarded parts to assemble equipment, searched for resources in the wasteland, and formed alliances or enemies with low-level immortal cultivators. His rise touched the interests of the Yongsheng Group and attracted the "immortal" to suppress him. Li Fan needs to fight powerful enemies, battle wits and courage with the BUG system, uncover the dark secrets of technological immortality and the origin of the system, and finally ignite the flames of resistance at the bottom and challenge the rule of the solidified class and the Yongsheng Group.
