Xie Jin grew up in a settlement, where simply staying alive was exhausting. Then one day, a little line-drawn dog came bounding toward her.
【Host, the game is finally starting~】

Xie Jin took someone else's identity and entered the shelter. The resonance tester lit up green: a plant-type ability.
“A farmer? That's hilarious. Of course someone from K7 would be one. Where's she supposed to find land to farm?”
“System, put seeds in the shop.”
Xie Jin ignored them and buried the first seed she'd bought in the soil.
【Mutated Ironthorn Vine】
【Time to maturity: 3 seconds】
She pressed her hand to the earth. Green light surged from her fingertips, and the vine grew wildly, sprouting in a second. The thorny vine lashed out and smashed the lamp above them.
Everyone fell silent. Maybe... she wasn't so weak after all?
Three days later, Q99 came under attack, and the shelter's shield was breached. Everyone fought desperately, with heavy casualties.
Xie Jin climbed onto the wall with an armful of seeds. While everyone looked at her like she was an idiot, she tossed down the Ironthorn Vine. The next second, vines burst out of the ground and skewered the horde right through.
“System, anything else?”
【Electromagnetic Pulse Fruit now available】
Everyone stared as Xie Jin squatted on top of the wall and rummaged through her clothes.
“What is she pulling out now?”
“No idea.”
She threw the fruit down.
Boom! Blue-white arcs of electricity blasted across a thirty-meter radius. The smell of scorched beasts mingled with ozone and drifted up to them.
【Shock Value +100】

Xie Jin searched for her younger sister for a long time. At last, in Silent City, she found a blood sample label bearing her sister's name.
She found Silent City's administrator in a banquet hall. The administrator smiled at her and said, “Just a refugee. If she's dead, she's dead. What compensation do you want?”
“What compensation do I want?”
Xie Jin smiled. The floor cracked, roots pushed up through the fissures, tables and chairs toppled, and the crystal chandelier crashed onto the champagne tower.
“You're insane!” the administrator screamed.
Standing atop the roots, Xie Jin looked down at her. “I'm just a refugee, too.”
Kill them. Kill every last one of them.
Talents? Resources?
【Time Reversal】, 【Probability Erasure】, 【Pain Bank】
With her skills, she trampled one by one the powerful, privileged people who had once looked down on everyone and treated human lives as weeds.
“You're just a farmer...”
“That's right.” Xie Jin crouched down to look at her. “I farm a new order.”
When those people finally went mad with regret and demanded to know what she wanted, Xie Jin smiled sweetly.
“Do you want compensation?”
“Come on. Now it's your turn to beg me to name my price.”
A wasteland aristocratic family? What even is that?
If they can't beat her, what else is there to say?
Core theme: She fights hard for everything she wants.
