Lu Ye, a scavenger in District D of the wasteland, digs a bloodstained ring out of a trash heap and binds himself to the [Universal Garbage Recycling System].
Newbie gift: three packets of expired instant noodle seasoning.
The System teaches him to turn dead rats into points, irradiated soil into watermelon fields, and scrap metal into starships.
Later, he pilots the Qinglan and blasts off from Blue Star, even taking the Dimension Administration Bureau in as garbage.
His childhood friend, Shen Qinglan, grabs him by the ear. “Before you become the Creator, wash your hands!”
The universe's overlord began by picking through trash.
