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."
