Chapter 3 (Peachland)

Chapter 3

The system spoke again, announcing to all the players in the game, "The first player to qualify for an Early Pass has appeared."

"Hint: The first player to pass the game early will be rewarded with 100 bonus points at the end of the game."

Ye Nianchu: ...

What?

The roast pork in her bowl instantly lost its flavor.

What is this sudden change of mission?

Whoever wants that clue can have it!

She just wanted to survive until the game ended on the seventh day, but now she’s being forced to fight head-on. On top of that, she’s now a target for other players.

What a pain!

This game threw her into chaos right from the start.

Early pass?

More like early death!

She’s just a new player, and early passing was never meant for beginners.

Even experienced players with all sorts of advantages might struggle with this.

Anyone who has played a few rounds of the game would understand that.

The system is still the same as always, pretending to give helpful tips but really just setting people up!

Normally, passing a round gives only 20 points, but passing early gives double. The first player to pass early gets 100 points.

But no matter how many points you get, you still need to survive to claim them.

Ye Nianchu frowned and tried to delete the photo, but the delete button turned gray and didn’t respond.

She knew it.

The two players at the next table froze.

Ding Qi, in particular, could barely hide his shock.

You have to realize, although the system mentioned early passing, not all players are eligible. To pass early, you first need a "ticket."

How long has the game been going on, and someone already qualified for an early pass?

Either there’s a high-level player, or someone got really lucky and stumbled upon the qualification by accident.

If Ye Nianchu knew what Ding Qi was thinking, she would have smiled and said, "You call this luck? You can have it if you want!"

"What does this mean? Someone has already passed?" Deng Lan asked Ding Qi curiously.

"It’s not that easy."

Realizing he misspoke, Ding Qi quickly corrected himself, "The system says they’ve qualified, not that they’ve passed. I’m sure passing the game won’t be that simple."

Deng Lan, being a newbie, didn’t know that getting an early pass meant losing the chance for a normal pass.

It’s a much more dangerous path. You could either go from a bicycle to a motorcycle, or you could end up with nothing left.

Deng Lan just thought that whoever got the "first" qualification must be a powerful player. If she knew where that player was, she and Ding Qi could try to join forces with them.

The clear river moved slowly, and a cold wind blew across its surface.

Deng Lan tightened her clothes and looked out the window, "Why did it suddenly get so cold?"

The weather was changing too fast.

Ding Qi was still thinking about the early pass and didn’t pay attention to Deng Lan’s words. In places near mountains and rivers, it’s normal for the weather to change quickly—nothing unusual.

At that moment, a slim figure walked by. She had long hair down to her waist, wore a black trench coat that contrasted with her smooth, fair skin, and her appearance was striking.

Ding Qi glanced over. This person had been there when he was talking to Deng Lan.

In this round, the residents of Daiyong Township should be NPCs, and the players are among the tourists.

A tourist showing up alone was already suspicious.

Deng Lan didn’t think much of it, but she was a little annoyed to see Ding Qi distracted while looking at another woman.

"It's just an NPC. What’s so interesting? Men really are creatures who only care about appearances."

Translation Update! 🍙 Translation Update! 🍙 ✨ Quick note: English isn't my first language, so please understand there might be some typos or awkward phrasing - I'm doing my best! ✨ Hey everyone, just a quick update: As of today, April 28, 2025 , I want to give you all a heads-up about a few small issues you might come across in the story, specifically with some of the prop names. It's not exactly a typo issue—it's more about changes I've made over time. For instance, I originally used the term 'data concealment number' but later changed it to 'number concealment data.' Since these are just prop names in the story, it's not a major issue for the plot, but I totally get that some of you might find it a little annoying if you're really particular about details. ...

 “Bang—” The air trembled, and bright light hit Gu Zhan's eyelids, making him squint. “Patient 707 has been admitted.” A cold female voice sounded. Patient 707? Who? Gu Zhan squinted against the blinding light and realized he was lying down under a surgical shadowless lamp. Next to him stood several people in deep green surgical scrubs, their faces obscured by the light. One of them leaned over to look at him; the blue medical mask covered most of his features, leaving only a pair of narrow, dark eyes visible. He said, “707 has woken up. Administer a sedative.” A syringe pierced the back of Gu Zhan's hand, and the cold liquid flowed in, gradually blurring his consciousness... ... “Crash—” “Bang!” The sound of metal clashing echoed sharply. A metal bed was forcefully pushed away, sliding a great distance before crashing against the wall. Gu Zhan's head struck the bed frame heavily, and the intense pain momentarily brought him back to awareness. Then came the sound of a door ...

The broadcast from the main system echoed throughout the instance. In the pitch-black snowy night, accompanied by the eerie howling wind of the ebony forest, Jiang Yan felt utterly disoriented. The "Hunter" in front of him couldn’t hear the main system’s intrusive voice and was still waiting for his "little sheep" to kiss him. However, Jiang Yan simply reached out, gently touched the demon-like ram horns of the "Hunter," and then unhesitatingly pulled the blanket over his head. Hunter: "...So disobedient." Soon after, a kiss landed softly on the top of Jiang Yan's head. A pair of long, broad hands rested on his waist as the "Hunter" drifted into slumber. Meanwhile, the game forum’s players erupted into an explosive celebration: [I’m dying of laughter! What kind of penalty is this?? It’s my first time hearing such a ridiculous deduction reason!] [“Please immediately kiss the BOSS.” What the heck? Hahaha...] [This will go down...

Jiang Yan ignored 663, curling up under the blanket like a quail. The "Hunter" holding him would occasionally rub his head, seemingly captivated by the texture. Jiang Yan obediently played the role of a "pet." Based on his years of watching horror movies and reading scary stories, he knew that being "clever" or "kind-hearted" in such games only led to quicker deaths. "You still have five days," the Hunter said, savoring the softness and compliance of the person in his arms. His pale, pupil-less eyes glinted with pleasure. Although a sheep's head couldn't show human expressions, it was clear he was smiling. Hearing this, the four people huddled in the cage shivered in unison. Only Wang Yu sat blankly by the edge, tears streaming as he gazed at his lover. The "Cops and Robbers" Game The "Hunter" acted as the cop, giving the players (the "robbers") ten days to escape the forest. If they found t...

 In early September, during a Mathematical Analysis class at A University of Science and Technology, the sophomore students were noticeably distracted. The young professor at the podium glanced down and spotted a large group of students engrossed in their phones. Though he wasn’t a high school teacher, he couldn’t help but lament inwardly: “This generation is worse than the last. Even in Math Analysis class, they dare to slack off?” He could already envision the dismal outcomes on the final grades. Clearing his throat somewhat theatrically, he still received no attention. Growing annoyed, the professor resolved to be tough with the grades this year to combat this poor attitude. At the back of the classroom, Ge Zhicheng's heart raced as he continuously refreshed the backend of the academic system's page. What the professor didn’t know was that today was the day for second-year students in the College of Science to be reassigned to dormitories; the assignment list would be post...
