A mysterious young man, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
[A poor boy who lived an ordinary life for most of his life, took off at a crucial moment, only to fall again.]
[And then there's his 14-year-old sister who has difficulty walking...]
Three young people were hunted down by the Dawn Consortium, the most powerful conglomerate in the world, and found themselves in dire straits.
You have narrowly escaped death time and time again.
From the encirclement and suppression by regular troops to the emergence of exoskeleton soldiers.
You walk through ruins, trek through garbage dumps.
Xu Yan... quickly learned to walk, and even run.
[In November, you applied makeup and joined the scavenger alliance in District 614, and were accepted by them.]
[In an accident, when Xu Yan was washing off her yellow makeup, she was discovered and reported, but the alliance leader, Wang Xiang, suppressed the noise and prevented the matter from spreading.]
When Xu Wen asked why, Wang Xiang replied earnestly, "Your eyes! In your eyes, I only see a young man wrongly accused and driven to desperation, not the heinous criminal described in the wanted poster."
[You nodded with satisfaction outside. He truly was the person you chose.]
"He was originally a slave under the 'Dragon King' who ruled District 614, but he was the most insightful person in my eyes. I chose him to be the leader of this Scavenger Alliance and introduced him to the knowledge of exoskeletons... Now it has proven my judgment."
In December, Xu Wen broke through to the Power Realm, and his younger sister, Xu Yan, also began cultivating under conditions of sufficient resources and urgency.
On the 10th, a giant ship flew across the sky, carrying students who had obtained the corresponding qualifications, and taking them to the airspace.
Xu Wen looked up at the sky: "Then... I should have been there."
"You shouldn't exist." You patted his head. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have broken through to the Power Realm; you would have died three months ago."
[At this point, he suddenly looked at you with a complicated expression: "Boss Yun, who exactly are you? Don't lie to me, your lies are too easy to expose."]
"Now that things have come to this, can't you tell the truth?"
The openness came too quickly; you fell silent: "So, what do you think of me?"
"Endless, seemingly out of nowhere cultivation resources for manipulating power; the effortless demeanor during the chase; the ability to anticipate the enemy's moves... You don't seem like an amnesiac teenager, but rather a seasoned master playing the field while feigning innocence!"
"I even suspect that the red-cloaked ranger who suddenly appeared and disappeared might be one of your incarnations!"
"Fine," you say helplessly, "I originally wanted to continue interacting with you as a regular boss, but it seems that's not possible now."
"To be honest, I am Lolo, the Mech King from three hundred years ago. I have been silently protecting all living beings in the airspace from the abyss, but I was betrayed by my own apprentice and subordinates!"
"But a strange light flashed, and I was transported back to the present, three hundred years in the future. At the same time, I lost all my cultivation and found myself in this unfamiliar lower realm. And the first person I saw was you."
You continued, "Accompanying me back were my original possessions and resources, which are stored in a mysterious space within my mind."
[After saying this, you waved your hand, and the War Dragon IX, with a performance value of 51, appeared beside you, only to be taken back later.]
Xu Wen grinned: "If what you say is true, then you acquired the power of the Red-Cloaked Ranger in just over ten days, and your cultivation advanced from the Crystal Realm to the Power Realm in a short time. So now you already possess the power to turn the tables on the conglomerate and defeat this world, right?"
"That's right."
"Then why do you keep getting hunted down with us?!"
"Because I don't want to help you too much and ruin our friendship."
After a few jokes, you said seriously, "Because this is your karma, there are some things you need to resolve yourself."
Xu Wen, somewhat resigned, said, "I'd be much happier if you, boss, stepped in to help your underlings..."
"Will you say this to me when you get married in the future, even if it's a sheep's tail?"
【"I was wrong."】
The path from the school to the airspace has been cut off, but you are not disappointed.
Because in these past few months, you've established a firm foothold on this planet, and no one would say you appeared out of thin air.
Although your reputation has been tarnished along with Xuwen's, and you've become a fugitive.
But once you defeat the final boss, the truth will come to light, clearing your name along with the truth.
[They'll reveal their amazing talent then... Only a fool would abandon a true genius for a discarded lower-level power and a greedy principal who accepted a bribe.]
January 2890.
[You begin allocating skill points to Xu Wen and his sister, as well as some other members of the Scavenger Alliance.]
Tell the siblings that this is a secret technique at the level of a mecha king, capable of making them stronger, but at the cost of using more resources.
As for the others, you chose those you liked and secretly added points to them.
[A few months ago, these people were freed from the slave-owning garbage king by your disguise as the Red-Cloaked Ranger. Now, they're taking you in as a hunted individual. It's quite a coincidence.]
"However, the thought that we were being hunted down simply because you weren't going all out makes me want to laugh."
With the War Dragon IX, which has a performance rating of 51, even if it doesn't use its Descent ability or its own power, it could probably sweep through the Wasteland Star unchallenged just by relying on its exoskeleton.
In February 2890, some members of the Scavengers' Alliance succumbed to the lure of money and betrayed the Xu siblings, who offered a large reward.
[As an aside, Xu Wen's bounty is 20,000 credits, while Xu Yan's is 3,000.]
No scavenger could withstand this test.
[You were number 100, so the whistleblower didn't even mention you.]
"It's about the same price as a certain newspaper's deer."
When you first saw this price three months ago, you were really embarrassed and wanted to call the conglomerate's center immediately to make them open their eyes and see what kind of price they were offering.
After you were reported, the Scavenger Alliance was not targeted by the corporation's exoskeleton warriors and troops.
The conglomerate only did one thing to them.
[Supply cut off.]
The water and electricity supply to that large area was cut off.
Therefore, Xu Wen and the others had no choice but to flee overnight with the help of the alliance leader, otherwise they would have been handed over to their former comrades first.
[You have been constantly hunted down due to the hefty bounty offered.]
[After Xu Wen realized that you would only provide a safety net and wouldn't offer any real assistance, he could only desperately hone his skills.]
"This is a trial, and only you can end it."
