Chapter 1, Avatar Simulator

He pressed down on his deep brown cowboy hat, one arm adorned with white cloth strips, while the other hand rested in his pocket, the only relatively clean part of his entire outfit being his black leather shoes

[Clone cooling down, can be deployed again in 24 hours...]

... ...

The Dog King was filled with excitement, as if he could already see Li Yu being torn apart. Four hyenas approached from four directions, their chains scraping against the ground, resembling the slow approach of Death's footsteps

The Giant God garbage truck, this is indeed a big cake, and those gluttonous dogs will not be absent

Rumbling!

Scavenging is not a miserable job; in fact, for some individuals with a bit of skill, it can even be considered a rewarding task

The chains clattered in his hands, while the other three hyenas suppressed their brutal killing intent. It was as if he were talking to himself, yet also as if he were speaking to Li Yu

The hyena leader, crawling on the ground, could no longer contain itself and suddenly dashed out with great speed

The Twin Blade Kur is one of them, a pair of twin blades crafted from a special alloy, renowned among scavengers

Host: Li Yu

Once he reveals the existence of the sniper rifle, he will be treated this way

The intelligent scope is capable of achieving a magnification of one hundred times, with four stabilizing supports located beneath the gun body. The bullets fired can tear through heavy armor at a distance of one kilometer, yet there is no recoil.

However, it is evident that such fools are not commonly seen. As Li Yu just climbed nearby, he noticed a large cavity near the rear wheel hub; the engine of this Titan motorcycle had already been dismantled

The widow, whose key areas are covered by sparse strips of cloth, possesses a seductive figure, yet her face is pockmarked and scarred, reportedly due to the abuse inflicted by her husband from the affluent district. Her voice is hoarse, a result of having swallowed glass.

More crucially, all of this occurred within just a few seconds, and no one had time to react, as the hyenas, following the Dog King’s formidable reputation, left a scene of scattered remains.

Skilled at retrieving the toolkit from behind, Li Yu began the disassembly. Having followed Old Lu for a long time, he had a fairly good understanding of which materials still held value

The hunter pressed down the brim of his hat and quietly retreated into the shadows, and the other scavengers followed suit with the same movement

The enormous waves of wind and dust filled the sky, while the Titan Transporter Type 3, a hundred-thousand-ton transport ship, was mockingly referred to as a garbage truck by scavengers

The person leaned against a wardrobe, casually glancing over at Li Yu. The tobacco turned bright red, and the last puff of smoke was exhaled through the cigarette tip, landing not far from Li Yu.

The drawn nose moved forward along the stench, with four chains held in the hands of a fat giant

With a gentle exertion of strength from his back, Kuer sprang up from the wardrobe, his twin blades spinning around his fingers, crossing and standing in intricate formations. The exquisite skill made Li Yu unable to suppress his admiration.

Li Yu looked at him speechlessly, is this what you call returning a favor? Is it really that forced?

Got it, Wuhu! It shook with excitement, utterly happy

Do you know that there is something called infrared vision

"Puppy, do you want to kill me with your hands?"

Although the time spent together by the two individuals was brief, Li Yu's age is similar to that of Old Lu's deceased son, which makes him very fond of Li Yu

Merely the paws of the head dog can withstand Kur's dual blades, and it is precisely for this reason that the Dog King is vaguely known by the title of the foremost scavenger

A large purple spear, nearly the height of a person, appeared in his hand, shimmering with a crystalline glow. The cold metallic texture made Li Yu's palm feel warm. The magazine was quite long, containing only twenty rounds of ammunition, not an infinite supply.

The scavengers around were very indifferent, their gazes showing not the slightest ripple of emotion

Li Yu jumped down steadily from the rooftop and casually tossed the telescope into the garbage pile

The Day of Cleanup is approaching, and all the waste will be recycled by photonic technology. If one wishes to temporarily leave this place, they can only pay a shelter fee

How absurd it is

Due to your nonsensical behavior, you have acquired the common talent - Random Action

Survival Mileage Rewards ... ... Obtain a novice bonus, temporary increase in rewards, receive a D-class magnetic energy ion sniper rifle - 20 rounds of ammunition, novice bonus has been exhausted

Li Yu formed his hands into the shape of the number "8" and then slowly raised them. Only then did the crowd realize that it was not the number eight, but rather a gun shape, as he used his hands to mimic a firearm.

Li Yugang crawled out from the crevice of a garbage heap and immediately heard a sound akin to metal scraping against metal

My dear master, Little Ruckus has arrived! Little Ruckus rolled over in a flash, excitedly waving its broken, one-armed appendage

There is no talk of camaraderie among the scavengers; they are all gluttonous dogs, choosing their prey to devour. Faced with the lonely and destitute Li Yu, many are planning to see how much wealth Old Lu has left behind

Under the shadow of a nearby garbage mound, several gray-skinned lizards raised their heads, their elongated animal eyes filled with greed. The new garbage mound signifies a new source of food

Upon hearing this, the small commotion's single eye suddenly turned crimson, exuding a murderous aura: "No problem, the small commotion will fully obey the master's commands and is already prepared to slay in all directions!"

On the roof, a young man set down the monocular telescope in his hand. Although his shirt appeared quite worn, it was very clean and had a faded look.

Day 1: As an undocumented individual in New York City, you have been successfully apprehended and mistaken for an illegal immigrant

However, Little Noisy has lost its arm for a long time, and the cleaning day is approaching. You also need to pay the shelter fee to temporarily leave this place... Little Noisy made a sad sound

Li Yu murmured something beside the small commotion

"Old Lu's son? Just in time... I haven't come to find you yet..." The dog king's green bean-sized eyes fell on Li Yu.

Suddenly, they felt a sense of absurdity, as the dog king, whom they regarded as a formidable rival, had simply died right here, in such a straightforward manner

On the fifth day, due to the absurd behavior of his doppelgänger, he acquired an outrageous talent; while others act according to the situation, he has turned it into a matter of random actions

On the fifth day: You conversed with him, mentioning that you are a subordinate of Brother Chen, here to expand the sales channels for flour

The massive body of the Dog King crashed through countless pieces of garbage, a copious amount of sweat pouring out from his fat. His eyes were filled with rage, as well as the beginnings of a revenge plan that was starting to take shape

So, puppy, do you have any last words

The second day: Life in detention is always monotonous

Accompanied by the clattering sound of chains, four blood-red hounds, each standing half a person tall, emerged from a nearby garbage heap, dripping with foul, viscous saliva

This will depend on our great benefactor. The Dog King scoffed and had already released the four chains in his hand

The alloy flap beneath the cabin slowly opened, and an incalculable amount of garbage fell from it, seemingly endless, taking a full half hour to empty, eventually forming a new mountain of waste

A black leather boot came down, crushing a gray-skinned lizard known for its agility beneath it. In an instant, green blood spilled out, and the remaining gray-skinned lizards vanished in the blink of an eye

Number of clones: 1 (In deployment)

Li Yu's reaction was quite calm; he was not surprised by the other party's abrupt actions, as it made no difference to him

A chill surged through Li Yu's heart, causing him to instinctively hunch his body slightly. He drew a short sword from behind, though it was not made of special materials and could not compare to Kur's twin blades

Damn!

Route selection: Approaching the protagonist

A subtle stir in his heart, and before his eyes appeared a screen that only Li Yu could see.

Just let me get away!

Li Yu weighed the heavy sniper rifle in his hands, observing the erratic artificial intelligence, as various thoughts gradually emerged.

On the seventh day: The gang leader met you and tortured you nearly to death. You finally revealed that you had lied; there was no person named Chen. The gang leader, furious and humiliated, sealed you and that lackey in cement.

But ... ... who cares

He appeared calm, showing not the slightest hint of guilt

"Double Knife Kuer ... ..." Li Yu squinted his eyes, as there were several well-known scavengers among those nearby.

His swift movements and posture were highly incongruous; he jumped back directly, hiding in the shadows, lurking among the garbage piles, attempting to obscure the sniper's line of sight

"Dog King, take care of your dog!" Kur shouted angrily as the overweight man dragged the other three hyenas out from the shadows

The dog king's green bean-sized eyes suddenly widened, and all that lay before him was a ground strewn with dismembered body parts. His lips trembled as he uttered a few words

The Dog King ... ... is yet another one with a name and surname

On the sixth day, the henchman believed your words and informed the boss behind the scenes. The boss was furious, believing that you had the audacity to encroach on his business, and thus arranged for your release on bail

The Dog King, robust like a mountain of meat, looked down upon everything before him: "Kuer, all my dogs are my friends; what reason is there to manage friends?"

The design of the Titan motorcycle is extremely extravagant, with two enormous wheel hubs that have a diameter of as much as 1 meter. Just these two alloy-crafted wheel hubs can be sold for 5,000 star coins

The moment the carrion was brought out, it instantly attracted the attention of four hyenas, whose tongues, equipped with meat hooks, occasionally licked around their lips

The garbage mountain itself is the best safe, as long as one remembers the password

"White shirt, this is not something you can meddle in, go back to your doghouse."

He raised his hand, pointing his index finger at the place where the Dog King had disappeared

The enormous beast prowled back and forth, sweeping past the dangerously charged Kur, while the sheep-like Li Yu naturally drew its attention

There should be quite a few valuable items in this heap of garbage, but the nearby individuals are not easy to deal with. If I want to get a share, I fear I can only rely on whether my external assistance is effective or not

A few figures have emerged nearby, all of whom are well-known scavengers. The giant garbage truck does not come often, as it only collects trash from the affluent areas. Each time it arrives, it sparks fierce battles among the scavengers.

Moments later, accompanied by a thunderous sound, even though no one saw it, everyone knew that the Dog King had fallen

The scavengers frowned, then widened their eyes, their throats moving up and down, as if they had witnessed something incredible

Master, the garbage truck has left, we should go now

Day 4: Your demeanor does not resemble that of a smuggler, which has caught the attention of a gang member, and he has befriended you

He immediately spotted the two halves of a Titan motorcycle at the mountainside, which seemed to have been involved in an accident, almost severed in two from the middle

Two Korqin curved sabers were polished to a bright sheen through friction, their blades intercrossing, and the dazzling sunlight was occasionally reflected off them

A deep, low growl suddenly came from the side, causing Kur to narrow his pupils. He immediately sidestepped and retreated, holding the curved dagger in reverse grip, crossing his hands. The blade flashed, producing a sharp clang! Accompanied by sparks, a massive figure leaped back.

Even knowing this, one cannot avoid the covert targeting of the sniper, yet still, one is reluctant to part with this tiny sense of security

A glimmer of apprehension flashed in the small eyes of the Dog King as he tugged at the chain in his hand: "Hunter, do you intend to get involved?"

With each utterance of the word "bang," he raised his index finger. When the fourth "bang" was spoken, he blew at the nonexistent smoke on his finger.

Forget it, if you are unwilling to come out, I will go pick up the trash myself. Li Yu shrugged and walked towards the "big cake" not far away

Li Yu paid no attention to the erratic robot, quietly pondering in his heart

The enormous propulsion engines on both sides gradually extinguished their blue flames, slowly rotating, with the nozzles directed towards the land, transitioning into hover mode

He certainly knows that directly capturing Li Yucai is the best choice, but he does not dare to take the risk of whether the sniper will pull the trigger faster or if he will be quicker.

However, this is an inevitable outcome, as no one can maintain a positive attitude towards someone who can take their life at any moment

"Old Lu has just passed away, you need not be so eager to follow him." Kur's age is not small, his beard has already turned gray, and he resembles weathered rock, both decayed and solid.

Li Yu's expression was grave; the four hyenas of the Dog King were rumored to be no ordinary hyenas. They had been administered expired enhancement drugs, and especially the lead hyena had undergone mutations, exhibiting considerable strength

The scorching heat waves sear the gray stone ground, amidst the mountains of garbage ruins, several gray-skinned lizards dart swiftly in the shadows, while the roar of engines echoes in the air, and a massive shadow slowly spreads over this place

Haha... The Dog King was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter, doubling over with amusement, holding his belly, and tears streamed down his face

Ladies and gentlemen, do not thank me, another one has been removed from the cake distribution. Li Yu jumped out from the bloody remains of the hyena, trying his best to avoid staining the pair of shoes he had finally found with blood.

"Mindless beast!" The overweight man shouted angrily, reluctantly tossing out a piece of decaying flesh, faintly wriggling with maggots, from a large bag hanging around his neck

He stands over 2 meters tall, with the fat on his face squeezing his eyes to the size of mung beans, dressed in tattered bell-bottom overalls, looking quite out of place

Obtain the white title "Chrysanthemum Guardian": a title that can be worn, the chrysanthemum remains unbroken by soap

If one encounters a fool and the Zeus engine inside has not been dismantled, it would be worth even more, at a value of one hundred thousand star coins

The structure here has not changed for a long time, and there are only a few players in the giant garbage truck sector, with the old Lu being one of them in the past

He wore a cowboy hat, casting a shadow over half of his face. Only when he lifted his head to gaze at the distant garbage mountain could one see a pair of sharp eyes, resembling those of a vulture, pursuing decaying flesh

Only when the reluctant hound returned to the side of the corpulent man, indicating submission by extending its head, did the corpulent man release the chain in his hand

A one-eyed robot emitted an excited sound, standing less than one meter tall, supported by a single wheel beneath its worn-out triangular mechanical body, with one arm missing

The hunter casually swept over several elevated spots nearby, attempting to discover something.

The eyes, the size of mung beans, surged with a violent killing intent, bloodshot and spreading. Suddenly, he became enraged, trembling all over: "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for me to find a suitable pup!"

Upon closer inspection, Li Yu understood that it was actually the death of his doppelgänger... In the world of Transformers, he had not seen Optimus Prime, nor had he seen Megatron, he had seen nothing at all, and just like that, he was done for

The blazing purple flames erupted, as the garbage truck emitted a white wave of air, vanishing into the horizon

Li Yu flipped through the logs, and every time he saw the log from the third day, it left him with a feeling of helplessness, as if questioning the heavens.

Transformers World: Clone Survival Time - 7 Days

It was not until Li Yu removed the two wheel hubs that the scavengers lurking in the shadows cautiously emerged.

The snipers, they simultaneously considered this possibility, fixating on the boy in the arena, wondering how anyone could possibly obtain a sniper rifle in this junkyard

Roar

The dilapidated radio emitted sporadic static, while the half-open refrigerator contained a half-eaten plate of pizza. The nearly split Titan motorcycle seemed destined to be sold for scrap metal.

The hyena shook its head and struggled to rise, appearing somewhat dazed

Beneath the brim of the cowboy hat, one can faintly see a pair of sharp eyes, along with a greasy patch of black beard: "Dog King, you seek revenge, and I wish to repay a debt of gratitude; Old Lu saved my life..."

The index finger raised silently, and the bullet, invisible to the naked eye, tore through countless pieces of garbage blocking the Dog King, accurately and wordlessly piercing into his body

Wow, what a handsome sniper rifle!" Little Noise exclaimed excitedly

The four hyenas surrounding Li Yu seemed to be struck by an invisible train, their entire bodies torn apart, unable to even emit a cry of anguish, as filthy blood flowed all over the ground

Little Noise will ruthlessly eliminate any individual that poses a threat to his life

When I reached the bottom of the log, the new log had just refreshed, and the time was a bit early; it usually refreshes at midnight.

On the highest garbage hill nearby, several metal frames are set up, with purple sniper rifles mounted on them. A few old wires extend from the small commotion, plugged into the interface of the sniper scope.

"Little noise, come here..." Li Yu called out

Day 3: The soap on the ground is filled with temptation, but you have successfully guarded your virtue

Yesterday, Li Yuzheng saw this summary and felt a chill in his heart; how could this doppelgänger not have learned even a bit of modesty and humility.

Roar

As a time traveler, this is the capital upon which he relies for survival, allowing him to project his avatars into countless worlds, earning rewards based on the number of days survived and his actions. However, his own consciousness does not seem to be able to follow him into the past

Buzz

According to the comprehensive assessment, you have acquired the ordinary talent - Random Behavior: Your style of action leaves both enemies and friends perplexed

Fortunately, a strong player arrived in the end, and thankfully there was a beginner's bonus

How ... ... how ... ... could ... ...

Master, my emotional module was still retrieved by you, and Little Noisy has been happy for several days because of it. Little Noisy circled around Li Yu and became extremely excited again

The fierce hounds emitted a low growl, their beastly eyes filled with brutality. One of the slightly stronger lead dogs suddenly halted, turning its menacing head as if to regard a wolf, fixating on the master of the chains

Suddenly, a shadow burst out from the alley, forcefully knocking the gluttonous dog into the garbage pile, causing bottles and jars to fall and shatter into a sea of glass shards

"Old Lu killed one of my puppies a year ago, so I killed one of his puppies. Isn't that fair?"

The obese man threw the rotten meat out, and four hyenas instantly darted out. However, just as they were about to reach the rotten meat, the chain tightened, and the strength of the four hyenas was unable to overcome the grip of the obese man holding the chain.

Li Yu had a person who could be considered a half-father figure. When Li Yu was compelled to come here a year ago due to certain circumstances, it was Old Lu who helped him

How exactly does your emotional module learn? Even after nearly ten days of interaction, Li Yu still finds this robot, rich in emotions, to be quite baffling

The hunter slowly shook his head, covering his cowboy hat as he stepped aside: "I have already repaid the favor by blocking your dog just now."

Bang, bang, bang, bang

Four hyenas eagerly divided the carrion, with the lead dog receiving the largest share

Does this fledgling also wish to share in the spoils

It is said that he possesses strength at least at the F+ level, which is two levels higher than Li Yu's F- level, and is only one step away from being superhuman

Li Yu looked around, stretched out his hands, and spoke the first words in front of this group of people

He was just pretending to lower Li Yu's guard. He knew that Li Yu's finger movement must be some kind of signal, which is why he waited for Li Yu to put his hand down

Bang

Old Lu was somewhat well-known among the scavengers, but recently, he had an accident and passed away

In the world of scavengers, the fist is the true path to power

For a moment, no one spoke; this group of scavengers exchanged glances frequently, yet not a single one was willing to step out of the shadows

The master of the chains suddenly shook the chains, which were entwined with thorns, striking the four hunting dogs and leaving several deep wounds.

Haha... the Dog King laughed heartily, his entire body shaking with fat, and his fingers trembling as he pointed at the hunter: "Look, we have someone here who resembles a proper person, a vulture that survives by chasing after rotten meat, actually speaking of repaying kindness."

This is a house built on a garbage mountain, constructed from discarded metal sheets, and it is not large, measuring only about 5 to 6 square meters.

It crawled on the ground, its two claws tearing deep marks into the earth, emitting a low growl from its throat

Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already raised his hand, extending his thumb and index finger while clenching the other fingers, forming a gesture of the number 8, pointing at the approaching beast.

Snap

The clone has died, recovery in progress, survival time 7 days ... ... reward settlement in progress ... ...

The other three heads howled incessantly, while only the one turning its head remained motionless, with thick saliva dripping from its sharp teeth as its mouth twitched

The dog king seemed unable to believe that all his dogs had died, his gaze vacant and dazed, until Li Yu lowered his hands, at which point he suddenly moved.

A figure bent down, and with fingers wrapped in white cloth, smeared a bit of green blood onto their parched lips

Title Obtained - Guardian of the Chrysanthemum

Li Yu looked around at the crowd; their appearances varied, their attire differed, but the only commonality among them was a sense of vigilance and hostility. He understood that he had become a common enemy.
