Lu Chen was a professional Delta Force: Hawk Ops player in his previous life, nicknamed the "Looting Maniac." He spent ten years etching every inch of Zero Dam, Layali Grove, and Space City into his bones. He knew where every hidden safe was, what tier of loot spawned at each spot, and every boss's spawn patterns and drop table. He could recite it all with his eyes closed.
Then he died in an accident.
When he woke up, it was the first day of the game's open beta.
All he had in his pocket was a dagger, a set of basic gear, and an entirely empty stash.
But his mind held ten years' worth of map knowledge, boss strategies, and looting routes.
The moment the System activated, Lu Chen smiled.
In this life, he was going to loot every safe on the server.
Saeed's M249 skin? His. Reiss's red beret? Claimed. Space City's classified safes? He'd clean them all out.
While others fought Saeed head-on in the Administrative Building, he snuck around back, grabbed the safe, and ran.
While others got picked off one by one by Reiss's shotgun at the hotel, he stood at a second-floor window and slowly wore them down, sniping two shield guards.
While others faced certain death entering the classified Space City, he could find three extraction routes with his eyes closed.
Three years later, he was first on the server in looting, kills, and wealth.
Someone asked in world chat, "Who exactly is Lu Chen?"
A veteran replied, "He's the guy who treats the Administrative Building at Zero Dam like his own stash."
Lu Chen smiled faintly at the screen. "I'm just a knife-wielding scavenger who wants to loot in peace."
