Power Progression

Background / History

Life in the Scavenger Community

Luo Liuzi grew up as the neglected sixth child of his family. His parents paid him little attention, while his older siblings beat and berated him. Despite living separately and working as a logger, he gave his family seventy percent of his monthly earnings, supposedly to save for a future marriage 38 114 197.

He regularly worked alongside Tian Man, Liu Mu, and Qiu Shuyu. Although the weakest of the four overall, he was an experienced logger. His first use of Qiu Shuyu’s synthesized stone axe made him temporarily outperform Liu Mu, drawing his attention to the tool’s extraordinary effectiveness 38 39.

Becoming Song Xiaozhu’s Salesman

After Tian Man broke Qiu Shuyu’s axe, Luo Liuzi accompanied him to deliver a replacement and apologize. There, he discovered more stone axes and met their maker, Song Xiaozhu. He bought several axes and learned that she claimed the Awakened class of Craftsman 47 49 51 52.

Encouraged by Tian Man’s vision of becoming trusted aides to a future faction leader, Luo Liuzi demonstrated his salesmanship by overcharging Liu Mu. Song Xiaozhu rejected the approach as unsustainable and likely to create enemies; Tian Man subsequently took Luo Liuzi to return the money 61 67 72.

Under Song Xiaozhu’s direction, their business expanded. Luo Liuzi and Tian Man sold 270 stone axes in a single day at four yuan each, then helped arrange a discreet scrap-iron supply from Old Chen’s family for her iron-axe production 77 98.

Leaving His Family

Luo Liuzi initially resisted moving to Liu Family Village, fearing its proximity to the isolation zone and the loss of his familiar livelihood. His decision changed when he returned home to find his family ransacking his shack and taking his savings. He left to join Tian Man, rejecting the idea that remaining in the community offered him stability 109 114.

While preparing to leave, he spotted men searching Bai Jing’s shack and Cui Jiao approaching his own residence. He warned Tian Man, and the pair fled toward the logging camp with Cui Jiao’s group in pursuit. After escaping with Song Xiaozhu and Qiu Shuyu, he reached Liu Family Village 114 115 121.

Work in Liu Family Village

Luo Liuzi’s lively account of their encounter with Cui Jiao helped overcome the villagers’ suspicion of the newcomers. When the Taobao Shop opened, Song Xiaozhu placed him in charge of the recycling counter, with Tian Man helping sort materials 122 126.

His responsibilities later expanded to hiring villagers to process Polluted Beast carcasses and producing raw materials through Song Xiaozhu’s employee equipment. During Fan Cang’s battle with four God-Favored, he and Tian Man gathered materials while the Workbench mass-produced weapons and supplies 163 183 212 255.

After the Scavenger Community suffered mass casualties, Luo Liuzi refused to bring his relatives to Liu Family Village. He asked Tian Man to tell them he was dead, regarding the shop’s people—not his blood relatives—as his real family. His father responded to the false death report by attempting to demand compensation from Song Xiaozhu 197.

Appearance

• Honest-looking face: His seemingly simple, trustworthy appearance contrasts with his shrewdness and fondness for pranks 38 39.
• Plump face: Described when Tian Man explains the dangers of remaining in the Scavenger Community 109.

Personality

Luo Liuzi is outgoing, easygoing, and talkative, readily chatting with other logging teams and turning reports into dramatic stories. His storytelling can be useful: recounting Cui Jiao’s humiliation helps him bond with Liu Family Village’s hunters over their common enemy 44 121 122 153.

He is also impatient, impulsive, and poor at keeping secrets, particularly after drinking. Song Xiaozhu considers him well-intentioned but capable of unintentionally endangering allies. Tian Man frequently reins him in or explains consequences he has overlooked 56 61 67.

Useful tools and good food easily capture his attention. He treasures Song Xiaozhu’s axes, repeatedly seeks out her wild vegetable porridge, and weeps when he tastes her boiled Polluted Beast meat. His enthusiasm later extends to employee storage equipment and imagined cannons mounted on battle vehicles 60 67 163 213 282.

His early hopes of wealth develop into wholehearted loyalty to Song Xiaozhu. By the victory feast, he and Tian Man regard her exceptional abilities with pride rather than jealousy, and his refusal to reconnect with his family is partly motivated by protecting her from their exploitation 179 197.
