Wasteland Scavenger: I Upgrade My Home with a Synthesis System

[Wasteland scavenging + combat and leveling up + natural disasters + supernatural powers + no romance + ensemble cast + team-ups + growing female lead + slow burn]

A hundred years ago, blood mist engulfed the entire Blue Star, turning the whole planet into hell in an instant.

Under the blood mist's influence, plants and animals mutated, and humans were contaminated too, becoming twisted and grotesque aberrants.

With no other choice, humanity moved underground and built sprawling underground cities.

On the fiftieth level of the Shuguang Underground Base lies the city's landfill, home to countless people the upper-level residents call "mole people."

Luo Anning is one of the mole people living in the landfill.

Mole people survive by scavenging garbage. They aren't even considered people. They have no identity, no household registration, and no protections of any kind.

Luo Anning, struggling on the edge of life and death, has one greatest wish: to buy an apartment on the forty-ninth level and stop being a mole person.

But how can mole people who spend every day wandering through garbage heaps ever escape them when they can't even see a way up?

Then one day, a cold, mechanical voice rings out in her mind. [Congratulations, Host. You have bound the Synthesis System.]

[Ding! Multiple pieces of meat detected. Spend one point of Mental Energy to synthesize premium pork belly. Eating it permanently increases Strength by one point.]

[Ding! Multiple gene fragments detected. Spend Mental Energy to synthesize a supernatural ability...]

Only when she reaches the pinnacle of this world and looks back does she suddenly remember that her very first wish was just to buy an apartment on the forty-ninth level!
