[The Fourth Calamity + Behind-the-Scenes Manipulation + Wasteland Construction + Delusional Misinterpretations + Funny and Lighthearted]
What do you do when you're reborn as a dying, withered tree in the wasteland?
Don't panic. Jiao Yang activates his golden finger and packages the wasteland as a full-dive game, setting out on the irredeemable path of a ruthless corporate overlord pulling strings from behind the scenes.
He can devour mutated beasts and evolve at a crazy rate, then sell the mutated gene fruits he grows to players at sky-high prices, granting them special traits.
But absurdly, the random physical mutations caused by the fruits are enthusiastically treated by these imaginative players as "furry girl blind boxes"!
Watching these cyber laborers squeal with excitement as they volunteer to work for free and happily get fleeced just to roll a white-haired furry girl, Jiao Yang couldn't help laughing.
And so, the most terrifying force in the entire wasteland was born.
They aren't afraid of death or pain, and they're always coming up with bizarre stunts.
They capture locals and use them as bowling balls to scout ahead, run scams with wasteland communicators, and strip NPCs down to their underwear before tying them to car roofs and parading them through the streets.
Blackiron Town Supervisor: "You call these people refugees? They gassed me and stole my car!"
Wasteland Trader: "I can't afford to provoke them. I just hope they don't use me as a medicinal ingredient!"
Player: "Coach, I want to roll for white rat genes too! For the furry girls, brothers, let's charge that outpost up ahead!"
Watching the players burn through bottle caps and swarm across the wasteland like locusts, Jiao Yang contentedly stretched his branches.
"Players with strange kinks, keep working hard! The next batch of beast genes is already on the way!"
