“You won't repay your debts? Then I'll sell you for parts.”
Lu Chenzhou's path to power is anything but inspiring: scavenge in dungeons → the System converts the loot into tech points → build cutting-edge tech by hand → leave everyone stunned → go scavenge some more.
His enemies, meanwhile, go through a very steady emotional progression: look down on him → try to kill him → panic level +1.
Others risk their lives to clear dungeons; he clears them by dismantling, scanning, and building things. Others show off their combat power; he shows off his net profit for the chapter.
All he wants is to get his merchant license and take revenge, but the System keeps forcing cutting-edge blueprints on him and casually warns him: the more you use them, the closer the “echoes behind the door” get.
