    I added this just to make up the numbers. I wrote a new book called *Star Abyss Mechanic*, which is on my bookshelf. I wrote this book because of Qi Peijia's *Super God Mechanic*, so I added elements of the Fourth Calamity. Everyone who clicks to check it out will definitely be attracted. [Already recommended] I've seen transmigrated people become emperors, I've seen transmigrated people with cheat codes, I've seen people treat players like (a metaphor for exploiting others)—but have you ever seen someone transmigrate as an NPC and become a star-domain big shot by scavenging trash? Gu Yan, eighteen years old, a wasteland scavenger, his panel displays "NPC template, 358 days until public beta." Everyone treats him like a roadside weed, only he knows: this weed is the only one in the entire field who can cheat. Touching wreckage, wreckage becomes modules. Scavenging scrap metal, he finds his first mech, scavenging starships, he finds a mechanical legion, and as he scavenges—he finds a Titan star map, he finds doors he shouldn't have opened, and behind those doors, he finds the being who "knew his past life." You think this is just a scavenging story? No, this is a monstrous combination of the Fourth Calamity, a Mechanic, StarCraft, and the truth of time travel. Players treat him like a legendary NPC, kneeling and calling him master; the Huntress of Ember Nest followed him for half the book, eventually becoming his equal; the Starfield bigwigs called him a madman, but he turned madness into a path. The thrills are so dense you won't have time to turn the page, the hooks are so sharp you can't help but click to the next chapter. I listened to the protagonist's line, "My machines grew from a junkyard," on repeat for three days. In short: piecing together scrap metal into the future, treating players like (a metaphor for exploiting them), kicking down doors one by one—this book, *Star Abyss Mechanic*, is a must-read.
