I Became a Wish-Granting Machine

After transmigrating, everyone else gets a System and a golden finger, then rockets straight to the peak of life. Li Zhaoyue, meanwhile, gets disability, disaster, and a one-way trip to the crematorium.

In desperation, Li Zhaoyue devoured the juvenile form of a mechanical superintelligence said to pose an SSS-level threat. Then she discovered that she had awakened a mutated ability.

Other people can breathe fire, turn invisible, lift entire buildings, stop missiles with one hand, and battle monsters with a barrage of crashes and bangs.

As for her, she's a cold and ruthless wish-granting machine, too weak to lift or carry anything, haunted by whispers around the clock, with one day left on her survival countdown.

There was nothing for it but to return to her old line of work as a shady merchant.

From then on, a new, eighth bizarre urban legend spread through City A:

The Universal Wish Machine.

Find it and submit to it. Pay the price, and you can get anything you want.
