Chapter 109: Rainforest (1)
The weather outside was hot. Ye Nianchu hadn’t gone out for a few days. Her daily routine involved handling documents, attending video conferences, eating, sleeping, and occasionally enjoying milk tea while playing games.
Staying at home was quite enjoyable.
Qin Mubai’s presence had also brought a bit of warmth to the otherwise cold villa.
Since her grandfather's passing, Ye Nianchu had lived here alone. She only returned to the old house for a day or two during the holidays.
The Ye family’s old mansion was halfway up the mountain, too quiet, and filled with memories. She didn’t want to stay there alone.
【Ding—
Friendly reminder: You will enter the game in ten minutes. Please prepare in advance.】
Ye Nianchu looked at the milk tea she had just sipped, surprised. She picked up her phone to check the countdown.
The remaining time quickly counted down to just ten minutes.
A whole day ahead of schedule.
Previously, the system did not provide voice prompts.
Qin Mubai, who was beside her, remained calm. “The game is starting earlier.”
Ye Nianchu received the same reminder.
“Hmm,” she replied.
The routine of the game starting early felt oddly familiar.
The two went to their rooms to prepare for the game. Ye Nianchu made sure to take her milk tea with her.
It was best to eat and drink before entering the game, as she might not get the chance once inside.

【Dear Player, you are about to enter the Upgrade Arena.
The balance mechanism for this round of the game is activated. S-level players are prohibited from using special abilities, and all players are forbidden from using any items.】
【Game: Rainforest】
【Difficulty Level: ?】
【Mission: Survive until the end of the game.】
【The game duration is 10 days. The initial number of players is 99.
Players earn 10 points for each day they survive. There is no upper limit on points for killing bosses; points are determined by the boss's level.
Work hard to earn points!
The top three players in the final points ranking will receive special rewards.】
【For players with a beginner's guide, here are additional ways to earn points:
Earn 5 points for killing regular players.
Earn 20 points for killing S-level players.】
Beginner's guides are almost universal, so knowing these details isn’t an advantage.
Ye Nianchu took a deep breath, looked at the system interface, and smiled, “In a game with an unknown difficulty level, can players below A-rank participate?”
Even if it’s possible, an F-rank player like me shouldn’t be in the game.
Is this balanced?
Is it reasonable?!
【The system detects that player Ye Nianchu is an unconventional F-level player and is eligible to participate in this round of the game.】
Ye Nianchu: What the?!
“Do you think the balance mechanism is fair? The other 98 players have their advantages, while I only have unlocks.”
If she were guilty, the law would punish her, not the system setting up such traps!
【Given the player's special situation, your initial location in this game will be similar to that of bound S-level players. You may explore the unlocking degree yourself. Please face the game positively.】
Ye Nianchu’s complicated feelings eased slightly. She didn’t ask what exploring the unlocking degree meant because, even if she did, the system wouldn’t answer.
【Entering game countdown: 5 seconds—】
【5, 4, 3】
The white system space vanished, revealing a lush green world.
The rainforest, with its hot climate, constant humidity, and abundant rain, was dense with vegetation and full of various creatures.
The risk factor was extremely high.
Two boats were navigating a narrow, calm river, flanked by lush vegetation.
In the boat where Ye Nianchu was located, there were eight people in total, including her—three women and five men.
The new game, Rainforest, had begun.
