My name is Lin Yuan. I have traveled to the wasteland for three years and am still a salty fish.
It's not that I don't want to roll, it's just that there's no way to roll in this broken place - the ancient ruins have collapsed, the laws of heaven are broken, the strong men are huddled in the "Tao City" and live in a dream, while we refugees can only dig for food in the "abandoned land" and be cut by local snakes like leeks.
But I have a secret: I can see the "shelf life" of everything.
How many days are left for the elixir to expire, when the magic weapon will explode, how much valuable mineral veins are buried under a certain ground - all these words are floating in my eyes. Even living people have their remaining lifespan hanging above their heads.
This ability sounds awesome, but it's actually useless. You can see it, but you can't touch it. It's pure torture.
Until that day, I picked up a piece of broken iron in the ruins.
The display above the head shows: This is a fragment of a powerful person's natal magic weapon. It will self-destruct in seven days, with enough power to level the entire refugee camp.
What's even worse is that the local snake king Lame has set his sights on me.
Hand it over and we will die together. If you don't pay, I will die now.
In desperation, I did something crazy——
The piece of iron was activated with blood.
As a result, I survived and integrated a incomplete "Law of Devouring".
And Wang Laizi knelt in front of me, tremblingly calling me "Law Awakener", saying that the reason why he was staring at me was because someone was instigating me behind my back.
I turned my head and looked at the edge of the homeless camp. The maniac who had been drunk all day long was grinning at me.
Later I learned that I was not the only one hiding secrets in this wasteland.
Later I learned that the truth of this world is ten thousand times crazier than I imagined.
