Sign-In in the Wasteland

Shen Zhu, a low-tier scavenger in Jintu City, kneels in the radioactive dust and gives the last half of his moldy flatbread to his dying companion. Then he turns to take a fatal blow for the last disciple of the Crescent Moon Sect. At the moment his life mark shatters, he hears a strange laugh: [Sign-in successful. Rebate received: Rival Fragment x1]. He devours the fragment, awakens his life mark, and his power surges. A prodigy steps on him to climb the ranks? He crushes their life mark in return and devours their talent. The sect council sets a trap to kill him? He blows up the entire Ghost-Hunting Trial Ground, taking the high-ranking nobles down with him. Then the girl his dying mentor entrusted to him stands in his way: “If you have to devour someone, devour me.” Shen Zhu wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiles faintly. “I stopped choosing a long time ago.” Tonight, he will make all of Jintu City understand: a low-tier life is no bargaining chip for the high-tier.
