"68.com, Zouji.com, Boss Direct Recruitment, 01job..."

The computer screen displayed a variety of job postings from different platforms. Yun Jian rubbed her sore eyes and picked up her constantly vibrating phone.

One WeChat voice message after another popped up from the landlord. Yun Jian randomly clicked on one, and immediately heard the landlady yelling and cursing on the other end of the line.

"It's been three days! You've owed me rent for three days! Even a tractor couldn't drag you around like that. If you really can't pay the rent, get out! This place is in high demand, and I don't need a penniless wretch like you occupying it!"

"I'm coming to collect the rent this afternoon. Either you prepare the rent, or you pack your things and get out of here..."

Yun Jian turned off the screen halfway through the conversation.

Her bright eyes were covered by long bangs, but they couldn't hide the restlessness emanating from her. Ever since she was ostracized and laid off by that petty female boss, she hadn't been able to find a suitable job. Now she was running out of money, and she could barely afford to pay for food, let alone rent.

Yun Jian had only one thought on her mind right now: money! She wanted to make money!

As if in response to her, the computer light suddenly went out, and a line of text slowly appeared on the screen—

"Hey, is there something you desperately want? A wish that's hard to fulfill? Join us, and we'll give you everything you desire and ask for. You can get anything in this world here..."

Yun Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering curiously on it.

A dialog box appeared on the computer: "This is a real-life wilderness survival game developed by bete company. You can earn points by completing tasks, and these points can be exchanged for anything, including money. Do you want to enter the game?"

Yun Jian stared at the computer screen, frowning in thought. Although the game's appearance was quite bizarre, she was already desperate and had watched a lot of videos of David and Bear Grylls. Most importantly, this game could make money!

Enter!

Yun Jian swiped the mouse and selected "Yes".

Immediately afterwards, a burst of white light emanated from the computer, so bright that it was blinding.

When Yunjian regained her sight, she found herself in a jungle.

There was also a floating system panel in front of her, displaying her various data.

Name: Yun Jian

Age: 23

Health Points: 100

Satiety level: 80 (The lower the value, the weaker your stamina; when it drops to 0, you will be unable to move).

Mental State: 95 (Low mental state can trigger hallucinations, please be careful.)

Strength: 25 (Due to your sedentary lifestyle, your physical fitness is severely low; you might not even be able to beat the goose at the village entrance.)

Agility: 85 (Excellent stat.)

Performance score: 0

Special Attribute: Unlucky (Your life is extremely tragic; nothing related to good fortune seems to happen to you, but if one in a hundred people is destined for misfortune, that person will definitely be you.)

Looking at the last line of text, Yun met with a blank expression and swiped the panel to check the tasks.

[Assigning initial tasks, please wait...]

[Assignment in progress... Due to my unlucky streak... Hard mode triggered. Capture 10 jin of fish within 2 days]

[Penalty for Incomplete Task: Health points are halved, hunger and sanity points are simultaneously reduced to 10, and there is a certain probability of triggering a misfortune event.]

Yun Jian didn't know what a normal mission was, but her mission was definitely not easy.

She had no usable tools on her. To catch fish, she first had to find a water source and then make fishing gear. She didn't know what dangers lay in the jungle, so every step she took was extremely difficult.

At the same time, Douyin, China's largest live streaming platform, displayed an announcement at the top of the screens of all online users—

"A real-life wilderness survival game launches today! Come pick your favorite player and help them survive longer!"

A user clicked on it.

The live stream room called bete consists of many small screens, each corresponding to a player's live stream room. Viewers can browse first, select the player they are interested in, and then enter their individual live stream room.

On the left side of the player's live stream, the player's three basic stats—health, hunger, and sanity—are listed, along with the tasks the player needs to complete.

Several users clicked into Yunjian's live stream, and a few scattered comments floated by:

[Strange, everyone else's task is to catch one fish, why is this girl's task ten pounds of fish?]

[This is too difficult! How long would it take to catch ten pounds of fish? You'd need a fishing net, right?]

[Where would you find a fishing net in this desolate wilderness? Are you going to make one yourself? Besides, this young lady looks delicate and doesn't seem to have the skills. I don't think she'll be able to complete this task!]

[A harpoon would work, but it's very time-consuming. If you're lucky, you could probably fish for two days straight.]

While the comments section was buzzing with discussion, Yun Jian started moving as well, though she walked and stopped intermittently, seemingly searching for something.

The viewers in the live chat assumed she was looking for water and expressed a sense of relief.

Our mission is quite demanding; finding a water source first and taking immediate action is crucial.

But then, Yun Jian on the screen stopped. She squatted down in front of a clump of grass, pulled the leaves over and smelled them carefully, and then observed the grass for a long time before picking them off.

Looking down at the large handful of grass in his arms, Yunjian listened intently before continuing forward.

The discussion started again in the comments section:

Does anyone know what she picked? Wild vegetables?

I don't recognize her, but in this kind of environment, she probably wouldn't be gathering anything other than wild vegetables, right? Maybe she's hungry?

[Ugh, this is so worrying! She has a task to catch ten pounds of fish. Wouldn't it be better to finish that first? Once she finishes, she'll get food. Why waste time on this? This girl seems a bit confused! She probably won't survive a week.]

Right after this netizen posted this comment, a chat box suddenly appeared on the right side of Yunjian's live stream—

Do you think this player can complete the task? A. Yes B. No

Lin Yongqi, a rich second-generation who was born into privilege, felt that life had no challenges. Therefore, she especially liked exciting things. She clicked into Yun Jian's live broadcast room simply because she thought it was novel and exciting for girls to participate in wilderness survival.

As soon as the pop-up appeared, she selected "No".

But then a larger pop-up appeared—

Please place your bet in Whale Coins before making your selection. If you choose correctly, you will receive double the Whale Coins. If you choose incorrectly, you will lose all your Whale Coins, and you will receive a portion of the Whale Coins.

Lin Yongqi raised an eyebrow. "Oh ho, this is interesting. Money is the one thing she has in abundance!"

It's just Whale Coins, right? Buy it!

So Lin Yongqi waved his hand and bet two thousand whale coins that Yun Jian could not complete the task.

This person is lazy and can't prioritize; it would be strange if they could complete the task!
