Chapter 34
A white void appears in front of me.
The familiar system beep sounds: [Congratulations, player. You have successfully cleared this round of the game 'Peachland'.]
The system interface shows player information.
Player: Ye Nianchu
Grade: F
Points: 200
Unlocked: 20
Ye Nianchu looks surprised, then pleased.
This is an unexpected joy!
Unlocking progress is more important to her than points because it shows how much power she can use.
Ye Nianchu opens the Beginner's Guide provided by the system. It’s a short, two-page document explaining the basic rules of survival games, including player levels and special game types.
She had previously bought this guide with points. It’s similar to previous versions but updated for new games. The guide updates with game changes, so having it means she gets the latest game information.
Who would spend points to buy it otherwise?
The system detects that her points are enough to upgrade to Grade E. Do you want to use 200 points to upgrade?
Ye Nianchu immediately chooses 'No.'
There are seven levels in Survival: from F to S.
F to D: 200 points to upgrade
D to B: 500 points
B to A: 1000 points
S level is different. You cannot upgrade with points. It depends on the system’s judgment of your performance in the game.
Players use a lot of points early on to level up, but the real usefulness comes after reaching Grade B. Grade B and above players can open their own space by spending 500 points. The initial space is small but can be expanded later by spending more points.
High-level players can also use points to buy items in the system store, which are very expensive. Even A-level and S-level players find the prices shocking.
The system store also allows recycling items, but the recycling price is only 10% of the purchase price.
It’s a 'conscientious' store.
Ye Nianchu had used a lot of points to move from F to B grade, but in the next game, she became an S-grade player.
She felt she had wasted points back then. If she had saved them, she could have expanded her space and bought items when she reached S-grade.
At that time, players didn’t know about the S-grade, so they all upgraded as soon as they could.
The first players got the short end of the stick.

Daiyong Township.
The heavy night is fading, and a faint light is breaking through the clouds as dawn approaches.
The peach trees are burned down as if they’ve gone through a terrible disaster. Half the town is in ruins, with the smell of burning everywhere.
The old acacia tree in the town, which had bodies hanging from it, is cut down. The fire’s marks are clear.
A slender figure walks out of the ruins, his body clean and free of dust.
The figure surveys the destruction with a sense of calm, as if he’s seen it all before. He takes a deep breath, looking forward to whatever comes next.
