Chapter 1: A Prodigy Who Makes a Living by Scavenging



The north wind howled, and countless snowflakes drifted across the sky.

"It's so cold, this weather." The boy kept rubbing his hands together and breathing on his palms from time to time.

The cold wind grew stronger and stronger, its howling echoing across the vast land.

The boy patted the snow off his forehead, looked at the huge garbage dump in the distance, and said, "We're almost there. I hope we can get something today and have a good meal."

"It would be even better if I found something valuable," the boy thought dreamily.

The young man, familiar with the place, arrived at the junkyard. In fact, this was not an ordinary junkyard, but a pile of abandoned mechs, and one of the largest mech graveyards on the planet.

Thousands upon thousands of broken mecha parts were piled up into small mountains.

The young man's name was Mo Tianyun. He came here looking for some relatively intact core components and mecha cores containing rare metals.

Only these two types are valuable; other ordinary parts and ordinary alloys are worthless.

"Got it!"

Mo Tianyun exclaimed in surprise, and at the same time took out a small box about the size of his palm, quickly placed it on the snow, pressed it a few times, and a bright light flashed and disappeared, and the small box turned into a large box.

He then opened the box and picked up a mecha disassembly laser scissor.

It turns out this box is a space toolbox.

With a swift movement, Mo Tianyun took several dozen breaths to leap onto the small platform, which was over thirty meters high. He took out laser scissors that were taller than a person, aimed them at a mecha hand in front of him, and gently squeezed the laser scissors. The mecha hand snapped off, and at the same time, a giant sword about ten meters long was released.

The greatsword fell to the ground with a clatter. It was incredibly heavy, and Mo Tianyun felt the earth tremble for quite a while.

At this moment, Mo Tianyun also jumped down, looking at the giant sword with surprise.

"However, it's a pity that the core of this greatsword is too badly damaged."

However, the greatsword's surface is intact, and its material is a metal naturally formed deep within a star, still worth tens of thousands of star coins. If the core were intact, it would be worth 150,000 star coins.

"This giant sword looks almost identical to a regular mecha weapon. If I hadn't seen it in Grandpa Sika's book, 'Rare Mecha Material Science,' I would have missed this giant sword."

"No wonder it was dumped here; ordinary people wouldn't recognize this kind of material."

"If I were a combat mech pilot and had a combat mech, this giant sword would come in handy. It's a pity that such good materials can only be sold for money!"

Mo Tianyun was in high spirits when suddenly a loud noise came from afar.

Following the sound, Mo Tianyun saw a pack of golden wolves rushing towards them.

"It must have been the loud noise of the giant sword falling that startled these beasts."

"I can't escape at my speed, so I'll just have to teach them a lesson." Mo Tianyun looked at the eight golden wolf beasts over a hundred meters away.

Mo Tianyun opened the space toolbox again and pulled out a lightsaber.

"This is my first time fighting a real beast!"

Staring at the golden wolf beast ahead, Mo Tianyun gripped his laser sword, exerted force with both legs, and charged towards the foremost golden wolf beast.

Upon seeing that this human dared to charge at him, the Golden Wolf immediately opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down hard on Mo Tianyun.

However, Mo Tianyun's laser sword was faster. With a flash of light, the golden wolf beast was decapitated.

Two of the remaining seven golden wolf beasts were killed by Mo Tianyun in the same way in the next instant.

At this moment, two attackers from each side simultaneously flanked Mo Tianyun.

Mo Tianyun's lips curled into a smirk; he had long anticipated that these beasts would launch a sneak attack.

So he jumped up and landed on a golden wolf beast, then jumped again with the momentum, and at the same time swept his laser sword horizontally, cutting all three golden wolf beasts in two.

With another stomp, the golden wolf beast that had just been stepped on was instantly severely injured.

The slowest of the golden wolf beasts, upon seeing this, actually tucked its tail between its legs and turned to run away.

"Trying to run away! Not so easy." Mo Tianyun grabbed the laser sword and threw it forcefully. With a "whoosh," the golden wolf beast was pinned to the ground by the laser sword and was dead beyond any doubt.

Just as Mo Tianyun was about to put away his laser sword, he felt a chill behind him. He turned around abruptly and saw a huge golden wolf beast leader.

The previous golden wolf beasts were a little over a meter long and about a meter tall, but this one is about three meters long and nearly two meters tall.

Mo Tianyun's expression was solemn. "If it hits me in the head, I won't be able to go home."

He then yanked the laser sword out of the golden wolf beast's body with his right hand.

At the same time, with lightning speed, he reached into his pocket with his left hand, took out a blue cube, pressed the button on it, and a layer of blue light enveloped him.

Mo Tianyun cast a low-level energy shield on himself, gripped his laser sword tightly in his right hand, and stared intently at the giant golden wolf beast leader in front of him.

The Golden Wolf Beast's weaknesses are its head and belly; its defense is quite high in other areas.

Just as Mo Tianyun was on high alert, the leader of the golden wolf beasts charged forward, and with a swift swipe of its sharp front claws, it reached Mo Tianyun's side.

Mo Tianyun leaned back, the wolf claws grazing the shield, and took the opportunity to slash the body of the Golden Wolf Beast leader with his right hand.

The Golden Wolf Beast leader slammed its other front paw hard against the energy shield.

"Damn it, the energy is running low," Mo Tianyun thought to himself. "If I get hit again, the shield will break."

The Golden Wolf Beast leader wouldn't give Mo Tianyun a chance to hesitate. It launched another attack on the human who had injured it, determined to tear him to pieces.

In an instant, the leader of the golden wolf beasts reached out a claw towards Mo Tianyun.

Mo Tianyun dared not make a move easily and could only dodge continuously.

The Golden Wolf Beast leader's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Mo Tianyun leaped and darted about like a monkey.

“This can’t go on. Once I run out of energy, I’ll get hit and the shield will break. Even if I’m not hit, the shield’s energy will slowly decrease, and once the duration ends, the shield will dissipate.”

"Continuing like this will only lead to certain death. We have no choice but to take a gamble; it's either you or me!"

Mo Tianyun gripped his laser sword tightly, dodging while keeping his eyes fixed on the head of the coyote leader. He knew he only had one chance, and all he could do now was seize it and deliver a fatal blow to the coyote leader in an instant.

"Tianyun, your martial arts talent far surpasses that of ordinary people. You only need to work a little harder to become a genetically evolved martial artist. You have the potential to become a high-level martial artist in your life. You must always hone your skills and not bury your talent."

"The more critical the moment, the more calm you must be. You must not lose your composure. The stronger a martial artist is, the stronger his inner strength is."

"The path of a martial artist is fraught with difficulties. Not only do you need extraordinary talent, but you also need unwavering determination. Although you have talent, you lack the heart of a martial artist."

"What is the heart of a martial artist? The heart of a martial artist is to always believe in yourself and in the martial path you follow. The heart of a martial artist is a spiritual force, an invincible spirit."

Mo Tianyun gradually recalled the scene of Grandpa Sika teaching him martial arts, and remembered Grandpa Sika's admonitions.

"The heart of a warrior is a spirit, an invincible spirit," Mo Tianyun muttered to himself as he dodged the Golden Wolf Beast leader.

Having dodged another claw attack, the Golden Wolf Beast leader's eyes turned fiercely red.

After dodging a claw, Mo Tianyun jumped back, quickly regained his balance, and charged towards the Golden Wolf Beast Leader with all his might, gripping the laser sword tightly with his right hand.

The leader of the golden wolf beasts was not to be outdone. He frantically raised his front paws and slammed them down on the human in front of him.

Mo Tianyun did not dodge this time. As he charged toward the Golden Wolf Beast leader, he clasped his hands together and gripped the laser sword tightly.

"The heart of a warrior is a spiritual force." Grandpa Sika's words echoed in my mind.

The laser sword, gripped tightly in both hands, pierced the head of the Golden Wolf Beast leader with unstoppable force, shattering its shield in the process.

The boy drew his lightsaber and sat quietly on the back of the Golden Wolf Beast leader.

The eight golden wolf beasts lying around, the ravaged snowfield, and the snow stained with the blood of the golden wolf beast leader showed that this place was not peaceful.

After sitting for a long time, Mo Tianyun recovered his strength.

"My mental level has reached 'Perception,' I can sense everything around me, and my power has doubled." Mo Tianyun slowly adapted to the changes in his body.

“These strange beasts are heavily contaminated and cannot be eaten, otherwise these golden wolf beasts could have been eaten for a long time.”

Mo Tianyun returned to the giant sword, opened his spatial toolbox, and put the sword inside.

At this moment, a strange force was influencing Mo Tianyun.

"The books say that the lairs of powerful beasts often contain rare treasures. I wonder if that's true?" Mo Tianyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Driven by curiosity, Mo Tianyun began searching for caves in the vicinity.

"It should be this cave; there are no other large caves nearby."

Mo Tianyun arrived at the entrance of a cave, from which a foul stench emanated.

Suppressing his nausea, Mo Tianyun walked into the cave.

The cave was more than ten meters deep and pitch black inside. Mo Tianyun took out a light source, and the light instantly illuminated the entire cave.

Mo Tianyun took a closer look and realized there were quite a few good things there.

Wow! This is a combat mech core!

"This is an energy crystal, and a medium-grade one at that!"

"This is the core component of the mecha!"

"What is this? A metal ball? Never mind, I'll just take it."

Mo Tianyun took all of these things with him.

"We've struck it rich! We've made a fortune this time, and we won't have to go hungry anymore."

"But I almost lost my life. Grandpa Sika was right, fortune really is found in danger."

"But why are all these things clustered here? Never mind, I'll think about it when we get back."

Mo Tianyun's home is 35 kilometers away, and it takes him two hours to get home. Every few days, he comes here to collect mecha materials to sell in order to buy food and survive.

Mo Tianyun should be in school at this age.

But five years ago, Grandpa Sika said he was going to the front lines to fight the Zerg and would be back soon.

But no one expected that a year later, the devastating news would come: Grandpa Sika had sacrificed his life in a battle.

When Xiao Mo Tianyun first heard the news, she felt like the sky had fallen.

Sika was a combat mech pilot who died on the front lines. In principle, the Empire should have provided him with a pension. Although it is said that Mo Tianyun was taken in and raised by Sika, he is still Sika's family member, yet Mo Tianyun did not receive a pension.

When he was in school, Mo Tianyun was the most famous genius in Hanshan City. As soon as he entered school, he broke the record for the strength test for the entrance examination in Hanshan City. He always ranked first in the city in both the strength test and the theoretical knowledge test.

Later, Grandpa Sika sacrificed his life, and Mo Tianyun dropped out of school because he couldn't afford to study.

When they left school, all the students danced with joy, because there was no longer a great demon over their heads.
