Making a Fortune at Sea in the Wasteland (Abandoned, Waiting in Line for a Rewrite)

[This story will be added to a new, no-CP story world from The Whole World Has a Legend About Me [Quick Transmigration], rewritten as a plot-driven story.] #Futuristic wasteland farming#Heartwarming and uplifting, with gradual progression# In the year 3025, the entire planet is covered by a vast ocean, with only a few scraps of land remaining. The surviving humans have evolved into two groups: the Myans, who can convert the five elements into energy within their bodies, and Naturals, who have adapted to the harsh environment and can bear children. Thanks to their innate advantages, the Myans control most of the means of production, while Naturals have become the weaker group in society. The bloodthirsty, combative nature of the Myan genes makes some of them not only eager to compete and fight with their own kind, but also prone to letting their self-restraint slip and harming Naturals. It is in this era that Ban Xing is reborn. He returns to his childhood and discovers that his biological father might be a Natural with an incredible cheat ability. Once he realizes that he may have to rely on “living off his dad” to reach the top in this life, he feels the heavy burden on his shoulders. In the body of a four- or five-year-old, all he can do is work hard to salvage garbage from the sea. To give his dad more materials for making machinery, he must learn to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family and making money... For example, by persistently salvaging garbage. As the father and son roam the seas in their battered ship, the Prosperity, the “garbage” Ban Xing brings up starts getting stranger and stranger. For example, a little Myan boy who insists on selling himself to Ban Xing, eats an enormous amount, and could bankrupt anyone who feeds him. For example, an old man with a limp who is always bragging that he used to be the king of the sea. For example, a Natural who is supposedly widowed, has nothing left to live for, and has an IQ of 180. Well, none of them exactly fit the vibe of the Prosperity. *Click into the story for more.* Theme: Diligence and self-reliance
