In 2077, a "detection operation" by the alien civilization "Tianshu" plunged the earth into a "catastrophe" - the collapse of global technology and the disintegration of social order. One hundred years later, survivors rebuilt the city on the ruins, but "Garbage City" is still a scar on the world.
Chen Mo is a scavenger in the garbage city and makes a living by recycling waste.
Until he picked up a metal ball.
"Ding - the all things recycling system has been bound. Host: Chen Mo. Current level: F. Energy particles: 0."
Chen Mo discovered that he could recycle anything - scrap metal, discarded electronic components, polluted water sources, and even diseased tissue from his own lungs.
Recycle, exchange, synthesize, analyze.
He pieced together a water purifier from the garbage dump and became the first person to drink clean water in the garbage city; he used the recycled parts to create an energy shield to block the sweep of the "Tianshu" recovery fleet; he analyzed the remains of the alien probe and reversely derived the coordinates of the "Tianshu" mothership.
The scavengers in the garbage city have become the chief "material architects" of the human resistance.
But the system has a secret——
It itself is the "civilization recycling device" lost by "Tianshu".
Thousands of years ago, "Tianshu" used it to recover the "evolutionary results" of countless civilizations. Now, it's in human hands.
What's even more frightening is that the system began to evolve: it was no longer satisfied with recycling materials, and began to recycle "concepts" - Chen Mo used it to recycle the "fear" of his teammates, the "memory" of the enemy, and the "sadness" of a city...
Every "concept recycling" makes the system more like a "living thing".
Until one day, the system said...
