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.

Chapter 2 (Peachland)

Chapter 2 "It's not impossible," the man across from her said, picking up some food with his chopsticks. "The system doesn’t reveal anything, and there's no response when we ask." Deng Lan agreed. She had been watching a drama at home, and then, in a blink, she was suddenly in this game. She couldn’t quit; it felt like a bad deal she had no choice but to accept. She had never seen a game this awful. Luckily, she was fortunate. When she met Ding Qi, another new player, Deng Lan was relieved to finally find a teammate. Being alone in the game was scarier than being pulled into it. "Why don’t we stay near the town exit and, on the sixth day, leave right away at dawn?" Deng Lan suggested. A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ding Qi’s eyes, but he didn’t show it. He seriously analyzed, "I think the game won’t let us pass that easily. The closer we get to the exit, the more dangerous it might be." Deng Lan didn’t know what Ding Qi was thinking, but hi

Max-Level Big Shot in the Survival Game

When Ye Nianchu is brought back into the game as a newbie, her bad luck seems to follow her everywhere. As she searches for clues, she heads straight for the BOSS. But stockpiling supplies turns into a crisis as she struggles on the way. "This game is too hard," she mutters. "Maybe all my luck was used up just meeting Qin Mubai." When they first meet, Ye Nianchu sees the boy with a paintbrush and thinks, "This NPC is really good-looking." Later, though, the boy holds a craft knife like a killer, but his smile is both kind and harmless. "Others are just trying to survive," she thinks. "He’s just playing a game. What kind of game is this? Can I report him for cheating?" In this game, players face a peaceful town that suddenly becomes a dangerous apocalypse, songs from the deep sea, a train that disappears mysteriously, a strange rainforest, and a weird sanatorium. "Danger keeps coming. Players either finish tasks to leave or die in t

Chapter 5 (Peachland)

Chapter 5 There were meals available at the B&B, but of course, they cost extra. After dinner, Ye Nianchu went up to the public terrace. From there, she could see the entire town at a glance. Smoke rose from the chimneys along the riverbank, and her gaze fell on the Huanzhen River. On the sixth day, if she couldn't leave this place, the mission would fail. The first day was almost over, and she didn’t have much time left to figure out how to pass the game. As the wind blew through the mountains, lifting her hair and the hem of her clothes, she suddenly noticed a figure. On the other side of the terrace, in front of an easel, sat a young man. He was tall and had a handsome, upright figure. His face was like it had been chiseled by a master sculptor. Pale skin, delicate features—he looked like a portrait come to life. Even from a distance, Ye Nianchu found it hard to look away. The boy held a paintbrush in his hand. His fingers were long and elegant. His clean, gentle appearance

Chapter 11 (Peachland)

Chapter 11 Some people, curious about the scene, came closer and quickly felt sick. The thought that the fish they had eaten for a midnight snack last night might have come from this river only made their fear worse. "I never want to eat fish again," someone said, shuddering. Nearby, several tourists who had stayed at the same B&B as the deceased, along with the B&B owner, stood together, looking very worried. The person they had shared a meal with just yesterday was now dead. "I saw Deng Lan last night; how could this happen?" Zhou Yun said, trembling. "Boss, did Deng Lan leave the B&B last night?" someone asked. The B&B was small, run by the owner herself, with no other staff except for a cleaning lady. The owner usually stayed at the front desk until locking up for the night before going to bed. The owner, looking pale and nervous, hesitated before answering, "I—I don't know. I didn’t pay much attention." The owner knew Den

Chapter 6 (Peachland)

Chapter 6 "As for the early clearance, those who got their qualification today might be S-ranked players," Wang Hai said. Wang Hai was still searching for someone, so he couldn’t give more details. Liang Zuo and Zhou Wen felt anxious but tried to hide it. They were beginning to think Wang Hai, who bragged about being a top player, seemed more like a con artist. "You newbies don’t know anything," Wang Hai said, glancing at them. "Since we're in the same game, let me give you a tip. For newbies like you, besides completing the quests, you should avoid top S-ranked players." "If you meet someone else, you might get lucky and clear the game with them. But if you run into one particular player, you’d better be careful." "Who?" Liang Zuo asked, leaning in. "We don’t know his name, but his last name is Qin. He’s an S-ranked big shot. It’s said that in one game round, almost everyone died, not because of the game, but because of him. T
