The Abyssal Era: Evolving from Scavenging

Lu Chen is fired on the day the apocalypse arrives. With nowhere else to turn, he awakens the “Junk Recycling System,” which lets him see the “value auras” around objects and extract enhancement points from discarded items. While everyone else desperately hunts monsters to level up, he quietly spends three months picking up trash. When a horde of beasts finally besieges the city, people discover that the “junkman” who always hid in a corner has somehow already reached max level.
