Background

Su Ming was a struggling college student renting from Lin Wei when the apocalypse began. After abruptly losing consciousness, he awakened with a golden index finger and discovered that touching objects could give them spiritual essence, strengthen them, and place them under his control. He used these transmuted household objects to keep zombies out of their rental room and protect Lin Wei. 153 157

The ability changes Su Ming’s outlook almost immediately. Formerly ordinary and directionless, he begins treating the apocalypse as his chance to alter his fate, ventures out to hunt zombies, and builds a small team around Lin Wei and the Meng sisters. His attempt to enlighten a Job Scroll grants him the Super Warrior profession, while a later attempt to enchant himself produces a dramatic enhancement and the Berserk ability. 158 169 175 203 210

After meeting Jiang Yang, Su Ming becomes increasingly determined to surpass him. He joins Jiang Yang’s team only temporarily, conceals his hatred, and steers the group toward Wuling County after sensing another Golden Finger fragment there. 189 212

In Wuling County, Su Ming joins Zhenbing Village and leverages Golden Touch Hand to enhance a crude gun into a weapon powerful enough to blast a hole through a wall. The demonstration earns him appointment as the fifth steward. He subsequently seeks support from both Zhenbing Village and the nearby steel mill against Jiang Yang, while covertly pursuing the fragment located around the steel mill. 236 237 240 244 246

Jiang Yang ultimately takes the fragment and engineers Su Ming’s collapse. During their final confrontation at Zhenbing Village, Su Ming’s shattered enhanced broadsword fatally wounds Lin Wei. Her death pushes him into complete Berserk madness; his Power of Fortune is then taken, ending his status as Son of the Plane. Jiang Yang has him buried alive in a mound of mutated plants, then later sends him into a Green-faced Demon People tribe. 261 272 273 274 285

Su Ming survives. Much later, he appears as a vine-wrapped wild man living in the wilderness, hunting and eating raw rabbits. 707

Appearance

Su Ming’s most recognizable feature is his golden index finger, the physical manifestation of Golden Touch Hand. His appearance shifts visibly whenever he overuses or activates his powers.

• His index finger is golden-yellow, seemingly cast from gold. 153
• Repeated transmutation leaves him gaunt, exhausted, and visibly withered. 153 157
• During self-enlightenment, golden light envelops his body and his pupils turn blood-red. 203 209
• Berserk causes steam-like white smoke to rise from his body as his temperature and rage escalate. 271
• After his abandonment, he is seen wrapped in vines and described as a wild man. 707

Personality

Su Ming is ambitious, prideful, and intensely concerned with proving that he is exceptional. The Golden Touch Hand gives him confidence that the apocalypse has elevated him above his previously mediocre life, and he repeatedly seeks recognition for his strength from Lin Wei, Meng Yue, and the rest of his team. His need for validation becomes especially apparent during his prolonged fight with Black Armor, where he prioritizes impressing onlookers over efficient combat. 158 188 189

He is protective toward Lin Wei and promises to secure food, safety, and a future for his companions. However, that protectiveness becomes possessiveness after Jiang Yang takes Lin Wei, transforming into an obsessive desire to kill Jiang Yang and reclaim what he believes was taken from him. 196 210 233

After being defeated by Jiang Yang, Su Ming becomes more cautious and calculating. He hides his hostility, strategically gains influence in Zhenbing Village, downplays Jiang Yang’s strength while requesting help, and negotiates with the steel mill as part of his revenge plan. 212 236 237 245

His resolve has limits. During the siege of Zhenbing Village, he proposes escaping with only his followers rather than remaining with the village’s hundreds of residents, prioritizing survival over Shi Pi’s commitment to stay and fight. 269

Abilities & Skills

Golden Touch Hand

Su Ming’s special ability, also called his “Golden Finger,” transmits spiritual essence into objects he touches. Transmuted items obey his will and receive an overall enhancement. 153 157

• Can animate and control touched household objects, including tables, chairs, appliances, and a cleaver. 153
• Strengthens an item’s properties; an enchanted jacket cannot be cut by a cleaver. 157
• Grants affected objects a degree of sentience, allowing an enchanted flying knife to lock onto a zombie’s head. 163
• Can enhance firearms, clothing, defensive gear, food, Job Scrolls, and promotion scrolls. 160 182 249 251
• Enhanced food restores more energy than its enchantment consumes, allowing Su Ming to replenish himself through transmuted food. 160
• He can sense other Golden Finger fragments, though only vaguely and within a general direction or area. 196 240 244
• Transmutation drains his essence, energy, and spirit; larger or more demanding targets can leave him incapacitated. 153 157 169

Berserk

Berserk is an emotion-triggered enhancement ability that Su Ming initially does not know he possesses. It activates under extreme grief and anger. 249 262

• Raises his Physique, Spirit, and Agility by 50%, increasing each from 400 to 600 during his battle with Jiang Yang. 271
• Its power intensifies as his madness rises, reaching 100% after Lin Wei’s death. 272
• The state is temporary; once it ends, Su Ming’s attributes return to normal and he is left exhausted. 273

Super Warrior

Su Ming’s profession evolved from Basic Warrior after he enlightened its Job Scroll. 175

• Possesses greatly enhanced physical attributes and durability. 175 210
• Uses Super Broadsword Slash as his documented offensive skill. 210
• Gains Steel Body upon becoming a Level 2 Professional. 249
• His combat technique remains comparatively crude; he often relies on superior attributes and enhanced equipment rather than refined skill. 188 189 266

Equipment

• Golden Finger / Golden Touch Hand — divine item fragment manifested as his golden index finger. 153 196
• Broadsword — his primary melee weapon; destroyed by Jiang Yang’s Black Gold Ancient Blade. 175 272
• Enhanced firearms — weapons empowered through Golden Touch Hand for his team. 182 197
• Enhanced clothing and defensive equipment — gives him considerable protection, including against Black Armor’s barbs and equipment capable of withstanding bullets. 189 251
• Military Raptor — vehicle used by Su Ming’s group to reach Wuling County. 234

Relationships

• Lin Wei — His landlady, first ally, and emotional anchor. Su Ming saves her early in the apocalypse and repeatedly vows to protect and eventually take her away from Jiang Yang. Her death from a fragment of Su Ming’s shattered enhanced sword drives him into total madness. 153 196 240 272
• Jiang Yang — His principal enemy and rival. Su Ming considers Jiang Yang an obstacle to his future, blames him for his losses, and repeatedly plots to kill him; Jiang Yang defeats him, takes his opportunities, and strips his Son of the Plane status. 189 212 271 273
• Meng Yue, Meng Xian, and Meng Yu — Members of Su Ming’s core survivor team. They follow him and initially place faith in his potential despite Jiang Yang’s greater demonstrated strength; they leave after Su Ming’s protagonist halo and Power of Fortune fade. 188 233 273
• Shi Pi — Leader of Zhenbing Village. He accepts Su Ming into the village and ultimately supports him against Jiang Yang, though he rejects Su Ming’s proposal to abandon the villagers during the siege. 235 237 269
• Hu Zi — Zhenbing Village’s second-in-command. Initially objects to Su Ming’s immediate promotion but later joins Shi Pi and Zhao Feilei in protecting him. 235 240
• Zhao Feilei — Zhenbing Village’s Blacksmith and Su Ming’s strongest local supporter. He recommends Su Ming as a steward, entrusts him with a granary key, and provides defensive equipment. 236 242 251
• Zhao Hu — A Zhenbing Village member Su Ming rescues while fleeing monsters. Zhao Hu’s loyalty toward Su Ming reaches seventy as a result. 256
