Chapter 1 Deep Blue Sea

[The survival game is loading... - Game loading complete.]

[All humans on Earth have automatically become survivors in an endless ocean world; their current location is—the Deep Blue Ocean.]

...

A vast ocean stretching as far as the eye can see, a small wooden plank so narrow you can't even turn over, and a tattered fishing net riddled with holes.

These three things constitute Chen Qing's current predicament.

Chen Qing, who was working at a bubble tea shop, suddenly found herself in this unfamiliar environment, and the next second a mechanical voice rang in her ears.

Welcome, survivors, to the Endless Ocean World! Please remember the following rules.

[1. This is a real world; the world you survivors once knew no more.]

2. This world is full of dangers and opportunities; the greater the danger, the greater the reward.

3. Please be careful of the ocean; it is extremely dangerous.

[4. During the early game, various supplies will float ashore. You can also use fishing nets to retrieve these supplies, so please make the most of this opportunity.]

...

Finally, during the four-day protection period, all survivors are relatively safe. Danger will arrive after four days, so please be prepared.

Wishing all survivors good health and safety throughout the year.

Survival game?

Chen Qing stared blankly at everything before him, but his body moved involuntarily to pick up the fishing net.

Even though she hadn't fully grasped what was happening, her survival instincts as a city dweller led her to subconsciously follow the voice's instructions and begin searching for supplies.

Chen Qing came from a rural area in a coastal city, and even if she had never used a fishing net herself, she was used to seeing people use them.

Chen Qing skillfully began to straighten a 10-meter, 10mm fishing net.

While tidying up the fishing net, she opened the panel that the prompt had mentioned earlier.

Extraordinary abilities...

Chen Qing frowned slightly and clicked the Awakening button in that section.

[Ability Awakening in Progress - Awakening Completed]

Survivor Chen Qing's extraordinary ability is: "Can add points to everything (unique)"

[Everything can be upgraded: As the name suggests, everything in the world can be upgraded, including the survivor himself. Upgrading points can enhance items or creatures.]

[Current available points: 0 (Points are obtained by killing creatures, acquiring valuable items, etc.)]

Currently available items: Survivor Chen Qing, Survivor Chen Qing's raft, Survivor Chen Qing's fishing net.

[Raft (dilapidated): A small raft that could capsize at any moment with a small wave.]

[A tattered fishing net (tattered): A broken fishing net; even if a foolish fish gets caught in it, I don't think it can hold up.]

Upon seeing this ability, a slight smile finally appeared on Chen Qing's previously expressionless face.

Chen Qing had almost straightened out the messy fishing net; otherwise, it would have been impossible to cast it.

She stood up, picked up the fishing net, and threw it out, while simultaneously opening the chat channel.

This survival game only provides three usable panels: personal, chat, and trading.

The chat channel is bustling with activity.

The entire human race on Earth, numbering in the billions, has been drawn into a survival game.

At this stage, the only channel that survivors can open is the nearby channel, which can accommodate a thousand people, all of whom are actively spamming the chat.

"No way, this fishing net is so rubbish!! It's torn!!"

"Help! Does anyone know how to use a fishing net? It's so messy!"

"Mommy, I want Mommy! Mommy, where are you? Waaaaah!"

The chat channel was a mess, with all the messages using real names and ages. Chen Qing also saw many young children among them.

However, it seems that no one mentions supernatural abilities here.

Is this something only she has, or does everyone have it?

The fishing net has been cast, and Chen Qing now only needs to wait for the current to push the supplies in the water into the net.

For the time being, she really didn't have anything to do.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing simply compiled his experience in organizing and using fishing nets and posted it online.

If the adults don't tell them, those kids definitely wouldn't know how to use such a thing; they probably haven't even seen it before.

Chen Qing had just posted his thoughts and hadn't even had a chance to see the other survivors' reactions when a huge pulling force came from the fishing net.

The sea was churning violently, clearly indicating that Chen Qing had caught a big one.

A tail was faintly visible on the surface of the sea.

[Deep Blue Devil Ray (G+): A type of extraordinary marine fish, it is venomous and electrically charged. While not fatal, it can paralyze enemies. Survivors are advised to handle it with caution.]

Is danger coming so soon?

Chen Qing's eyes darkened, and he immediately took off his vest. The smooth and well-proportioned muscle lines on his back shone alluringly in the light, showcasing health and strength.

Chen Qing, female, 186cm tall, 80kg, has been engaged in manual labor for many years and is in excellent physical condition.

Wrap the vest around his hands and Chen Qing quickly jumped into the water.

If the raft hadn't been made from a single, naturally formed plank, Chen Qing would never have broken off a piece to use as a weapon.

As soon as he entered the water, Chen Qing felt a bone-chilling cold. The seawater was terrifyingly cold, and he knew he would catch a cold and get a fever if he stayed in it for more than a few minutes.

The deep blue manta ray caught in the fishing net in the sea was still struggling violently; it didn't like the feeling of being restrained.

That tattered fishing net won't last long.

Chen Qing took a deep breath, held it, and submerged into the water.

As soon as he entered the water, Chen Qing saw the huge, deep blue manta ray, which was at least two meters long.

Chen Qing's behavior was reckless, but also correct.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

Countless supplies floated underwater, but most of them were just pieces of wood, grass, ropes, and the like.

These materials are sufficient.

Chen Qing quickly retrieved two long planks and a piece of rope, and tied the two planks together underwater with the rope.

With his vest wrapped around one end of the wooden board and gripping it, Chen Qing quickly swam toward the deep blue manta ray.

The manta ray is still struggling with the fishing net, just like playing a game; the already tattered net is now even more tattered.

The entire seabed was filled with floating objects, and the manta ray did not sense Chen Qing's approach.

So when the wooden plank hit it hard on the head, the fish was completely stunned.

The resistance in the water was too great, which reduced the force Chen Qing had to swing the plank.

However, this was enough to leave the manta ray completely bewildered.

Before it could even reach it, Chen Qing's next attack came flying in.

The manta ray was smashed until it was completely disoriented.

After doing all this, Chen Qing quickly swam back to the wooden plank.

The water droplets clinging to her eyelashes were almost frozen solid, and she was terribly cold.

Back on the wooden plank, Chen Qing didn't even have time to catch her breath before quickly moving on to the next step. Chen Qing's eyes were a little blurry.

From the moment she patted the manta ray, it instinctively released its venom.

Chen Qing's face was slightly bluish, whether from the cold or from the poison.

Fortunately, the poison was not fatal.

Chen Qing opened his hand, and there were several nails lying in his palm.
