On a desolate planet, a thin boy, clutching a wound in his abdomen, stumbles through an endless desert.
His name is Xiao Qi, and he is a cosmic scavenger.
Three days ago, he and his teammates arrived at " Progenitor No. 99 " in the " Bei 2-R31 " star system, Cosmic Wasteland.
The Cosmic Wasteland, also known as the Chaotic Star Region.
It is the site of a cosmic war that took place 130,000 years ago.
The Shattering planetary debris formed vast asteroid belts, making it impossible for large spacecraft to enter, and even small spacecraft would face a near-certain death if they tried to get in or out.
Without a seasoned expert familiar with this star system to guide you, no one can enter or leave.
A month ago, Xiao Qi's former scavenger team received a secret mission with extremely high rewards.
How generous is it? Once they complete this mission, the nine members of their team can directly buy an entire star system and live a life of leisure like emperors.
The mission location is this planet " Progenitor Planet No. 99," and the mission objective is to retrieve a " Key " from an ancient ruin.
The mission went very smoothly, so smoothly that the team members were somewhat incredulous.
However, just as the team members were about to board the spaceship to return home with the so-called " Key," Captain Luo'er suddenly pulled out a weapon.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi reacted quickly and stole an anti- Gravity motorboat to escape, thus saving his life.
Even so, he was shot in the abdomen while trying to escape.
"Damn it!" Xiao Qi cursed.
He was burning up and feeling weak all over; he knew he probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
Xiao Qi raised her head, gazing at the endless desert, her eyes filled with resentment and despair.
Although Xiao Qi is only nineteen years old this year, he has been a scavenger for five years and has seen too much life and death.
The team members alone have changed several times in the past five years.
I also know that one day in the future, I will die in a mission, or become space debris, or die on some remote planet, my body Disassembly microorganisms.
The Cosmic Scavengers are a bunch of Madman who will take any job, do any task, and go anywhere.
Some call them cosmic robbers, while others call them cosmic Parasitism.
"How could a delicious Star Beast biscuit possibly fall into someone's mouth in this world? It's either bait, or it must be poisoned."
"Three hundred billion in black gold, what a huge bait." Xiao Qi kept muttering to himself in order to stay sober.
But the abdominal pain and burning hot skin were beginning to cloud his senses.
He was about to give up.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Qi was breathing heavily, the hot, dusty air rushing into his mouth, making it dry and uncomfortable.
He stopped, raised the smartwatch on his left wrist, and said in a hoarse voice, " Yaoyao, use T1."
A slot popped out from one end of the watch, from which a thin mechanical arm extended, holding a white cesium syringe that was only three millimeters long and less than one millimeter in diameter.
As the robotic arm pressed down, the liquid in the syringe was injected into the vein in the arm.
His previously heavy body instantly felt light, and his slightly blurred will gradually returned to normal.
"Mr. Xiao Qi, this is the last dose of T1. Please receive a T3 or higher dose as soon as possible, or you will die within six hours."
A sweet little girl's voice came through the smartwatch.
"In addition, we suggest that Mr. Xiao Qi immediately connect to the internet and request assistance from the federal rescue team."
" Yaoyao, go to sleep!" Xiao Qi said, shaking his head.
As Xiao Qi gave the command, the light on the wristwatch screen gradually dimmed until it went completely black.
This is the Progenitor Planet, so calling for help from the Federation rescue team would be pointless, because they would never come to this Chaotic Star Region to rescue anyone.
Besides, it was to save him, a scavenger.
Moreover, once connected to the internet, Captain Luo'er will inevitably discover it, and then he will surely die.
Although the chances of survival are slim now.
Just then, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang in Xiao Qi's mind.
[Hello Xiao Qi, my name is Ling Yi, and I am an online novel author.]
Xiao Qi suddenly stopped in her tracks. Was it a hallucination? Why was someone talking in her head?
Or is it a 7-dimensional life form? Only 7-dimensional Wisdom life forms can communicate with each other Ignore distance.
I can let you live.
Ling Yi got straight to the point, saying that he would explain his identity after the binding was complete.
This time, Ling Yi didn't waste any time. He directly bound the system to Xiao Qi as the Protagonist, and without asking the new Protagonist about his requirements for a cheat system, he simply created a " Technological Ascension System " for Xiao Qi.
[ Golden Finger Generator ]
[Name: Technological Ascension System ]
[Host: Xiao Qi ]
[World: Parallel World of Technological Quantitative Tier ]
[Function Description: Rewarded with cutting-edge technology from All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, available for purchase using universal currency!]
[Enable automatic Correction function: Yes/No!]
[Total Vow Power Points consumed: 80,000!]
This time, Ling Yi chose system Correction, which consumed an additional 100,000 Vow Power Points.
In other words, Ling Yi spent a total of 180,000 Vow Power Points to generate this " Technological Ascension " system cheat.
Ling Yi mainly wanted to see what the difference was between the Correction cheat codes and the Correction ones.
At the same time, a series of "ding" sounds rang in Xiao Qi's mind!
"Ding, the Technological Ascension System has been successfully activated."
"Ding! Matching current world data, match successful!"
"Ding! System Shop Open!"
"Ding, transmitting system user manual to the host..."
"Ding, transmission complete!"
Even though Xiao Qi had already received all the system information, he still harbored doubts, but now Xiao Qi had no time to think too much.
For him now, survival is the most important thing.
With a thought, a semi-transparent data panel appeared before his eyes.
" Yaoyao, end your hibernation!"
The screen on Xiao Qi's smartwatch on his left wrist lit up again.
" Xiao Qi, the intelligent system Yaoyao is at your service."
"Inspect the projection screen in front of me!"
"Sorry, Yaoyao did not detect the presence of the projection screen."
Xiao Qi frowned and continued, "Examine my eyeballs to see if there is any retinal imaging data."
Please align your gaze with the watch's scanner!
Xiao Qi raised his left hand and held the watch in front of his eyes.
A beam of red light flashed out, scanning Xiao Qi's eyes from top to bottom.
"Sorry, no technological devices were detected, and no abnormal data streams were detected."
Xiao Qi found this watch on the federal black market, and it almost cost him half of his fortune. It's a top-tier item from the Star Region Federation.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Qi chose to put Yaoyao into hibernation. He didn't trust the Technological Ascension System in his mind, nor did he trust Yaoyao in the wristwatch.
[ Technological Ascension System ]
[Host: Xiao Qi ]
[ System Shop: Click to expand]
[Currently available universal currency: 43383 points]
[Warehouse: None (Note: This system's warehouse can only store system items.)]
The system interface was very simple. Xiao Qi reached out and tapped on the System Shop, and the next moment, a dazzling array of products appeared before his eyes.
From gene-based medicines to nanotech armor, from airplanes and cannons to Space Battleship, they have almost everything, but the prices are rather staggering.
"System, right? My federal card has been destroyed, how do I pay?" Xiao Qi quickly identified a few items he could currently afford.
"Ding! The system will automatically deduct the payment after you confirm the purchase."
"So, you can directly modify the data on the federal side?" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up.
"Ding, please read the system instructions carefully. Only universally accepted currency under your control can be used for payment."
"So, you won't restrict how I make money, right?"
"Ding, as long as the host has control, it's fine."
Xiao Qi grinned, but his dry, cracked lips made him grit his teeth in pain.
Xiao Qi immediately searched for four items in the System Shop and then selected to purchase them.
"Ding! The host has successfully purchased one hundred bottles of Three Fists Pure Water by consuming 35 points of universal currency. The water has been added to the system warehouse and can be used at any time."
"Ding! The host has successfully purchased one box of T4 healing potions (six vials) by consuming 1500 points of universal currency. The potion has been added to the system warehouse and can be used at any time."
"Ding! The host has successfully purchased ten servings of A2-level Star Beast Roasted Meat by consuming 50 points of general currency. The meat has been added to the system warehouse and can be retrieved at any time."
"Ding! The host has successfully purchased one anti- Gravity hovercraft by consuming 20,000 points of general currency. It has been added to the system warehouse and can be used at any time."
With a thought, Xiao Qi produced a bottle of bottled water in his hand. He eagerly unscrewed the cap and flashed the bottle open in the blink of an eye.
Then came the second bottle, the third bottle, and after three bottles of water, Xiao Qi finally felt alive again.
She took out another vial of T4 and injected it into herself. Feeling the swelling and pain in her abdomen quickly subside, Xiao Qi quickly opened her clothes to check.
The gruesome wound on his abdomen was healing rapidly, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye, without even leaving a scar.
Touching the wound, Xiao Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Regardless of the system's origins, it has at least saved his life; he can survive now.
"Hey, you there, I know you're watching. Maybe we can talk!"
Hello Xiao Qi, my name is Ling Yi!
"Hello Ling Yi, my name is Xiao Qi!"
