The acid rain in Niyuan City never stops, corroding the mountains of electronic waste and the souls struggling to survive. Maintenance worker Lin Jin, a low-level ant fighting for his life in a giant garbage dump, was on the verge of death while protecting a stray dog.
In despair, he accidentally activated the abandoned AI core - Leng Yue, which was imprinted with a blood-red countdown. A cold female voice sounded in his head: "I suggest you stop breathing to reduce the pain." Lin Jin roared in response: "I suggest you shut up!"
Since then, a maintenance worker running for survival, a poisonous AI who was being hunted, and a cowardly hacker Luo Xiaopang who joined by accident formed the "Scrap Iron Trio" struggling at the bottom of Niyuan City.
They soon discovered that the so-called "spiritual energy" was actually waste energy dumped by higher civilizations, and the pollution was giving birth to terrifying monsters that merged flesh and metal. What's more deadly is the Neon Group's capital ambitions, the ancient secrets of Jiange, and the cold world-destroying plan of "Gui Zero", the mastermind of the virtual world.
Lin Jin held the wrench tightly, Leng Yue calculated the countdown to zero, and Luo Xiaopang developed the "Gou Ming APP". From the garbage dump of the Cyber Wasteland, to the misty wasteland of the spiritual world, to the data abyss of the virtual world, their only weapons are their bonds with each other, and the seemingly ordinary wrench that can lever the laws of the world.
"I can't fix you, I'll write my name backwards!" Lin Jin tightly tied the wrench to Leng Yue's core. The cold mechanical prosthetic eye flickered: "The name of the new agreement... The first article of the Ember Moon Maintenance Code..." Their story started with scrap metal and will eventually soar!
