Daily Life as a Wasteland Scavenger

An accident caused Ning Qingyan to transmigrate to a wasteland world, where she became a scavenger living in a low-pollution shantytown. Her father died young, her mother was sick, and her younger siblings were gaunt and starving: a perfect hellish start.

Blue Star in the wasteland era was already a ravaged world. Pollution was everywhere, and plants and animals mutated wildly under its influence. Humans could no longer grow food normally. In some places with dangerously high pollution levels, even touching the ground meant certain death. Most people could only survive by gathering plants with a pollution rating no higher than 50 outside the safety zones.

To keep from going hungry, Ning Qingyan had no choice but to work diligently as a scavenger. The good news was that she had a golden finger that could purify plants and animals by lowering their pollution levels. The bad news was that, for now, she could only lower the level by one. No big deal, at least it worked!

Why grow crops yourself when you can get them for free? With no upfront costs, she set herself a modest goal: sell plants and buy a house in the safety zone.

Ning Qingyan: "I never thought I'd end up a mortgage slave even in the wasteland!"
