Delivery rider Song Cheng is so broke he can barely scrape by, while his sister lies in a life-support pod waiting for the 200,000 yuan she needs to survive.
He has no choice but to risk taking high-danger jobs, and nearly gets beaten to death by underground fighters.
Then a System somehow ends up in the wrong place and starts calling him a great marshal.
[Alert! The insect queen is hatching billions of insectoids! Marshal, eliminate the queen immediately!]
Song Cheng looks down and sees a mutated cockroach crawling out of the sewer.
He stomps on it.
Squish.
It turns into a pulp.
[Congratulations, Marshal, on killing the insect queen! Reward: Star-Destroyer-Class Vital Energy!]
A surge of dark golden vital energy erupts from his body, nearly bringing down the entire underground fight club.
[New mission: Stabilize the troops on the front lines! Boost morale!]
He hands the security guard a cigarette.
[Morale soars! Reward: Interstellar Shield!]
Song Cheng looks at the massive glowing mass of vital energy in his hands and falls into deep thought.
"With this glow... could I work nights at a construction site as a floodlight and earn some extra cash?"
System: You're a Star-Destroyer-Class fighter, not a power bank!!!
