The Tears of a Broken Heart Built a Superpower

Reborn on the very first day of a devastating breakup, Chen Cai launches a livestream with a strange system that rewards him based on the depth of his visible agony. With red-rimmed eyes, he tells his audience that he will build something extraordinary to prove his unwavering devotion to his ex-girlfriend. The internet floods with sympathy, while his callous ex brands him a lunatic. Little do they know, as the tears stream down his face, he is quietly cashing in advanced technological blueprints from the system. Quit his job, rented a desolate warehouse, and started hoarding drone parts—viewers called him insane, convinced he had lost his mind out of heartbreak. But Chen Cai was simply driven by an overwhelming desire to "progress." Soon, his tearful dedication unlocks blueprints for advanced combat mechs, cutting-edge 2nm lithography machines, and eventually, a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. When he casually begins live-streaming the enrichment of uranium-235 from his workshop, the entire internet drops to its knees—followed swiftly by his regretful ex, wealthy heirs, and state officials. Wiping away his remaining tears, Chen Cai smiles gently into the camera and asks, "What is the true meaning of life?" As sirens wail in the distance, the terrified chat collectively screams: heartbreak really is a weapon of mass destruction!
