Xu Ning had a dream.

In her dream, she saw a group of ancient people with pale faces and skinny bodies fleeing from famine.

On the road to escape the famine, everywhere you look, there are either people or yellow earth. The edible tree bark on the roadside has been peeled off and eaten by the refugees as food.

In search of something to eat, one family ventured further into the forest to dig up roots.

Suddenly, a quaint little box fell from the sky in front of the family.

The box is not big, about the size of a jewelry box.

At first, the family was frightened and didn't dare to go forward. They waited there for a long time. Seeing that nothing happened, they went over and carefully opened the box.

As a result, the box was empty, there was nothing in it.

Xu Ning muttered, "It would be nice if there was food in this box."

After Xu Ning woke up, she felt a little depressed. She couldn't understand why she couldn't control her dreams. She watched the family starve to death, but she was powerless to do anything.

At the same time, it also caused her to feel listless and listless all day long.

Xu Ning's mother and brother's family came to her small apartment at noon to celebrate her birthday. Her brother, a chef, showed off his skills and prepared a table full of delicious food.

"Aunt, why are you unhappy?" The little nephew, who was snuggling in Xu Ning's arms and gnawing on a chicken leg, asked with his head raised.

Looking at his nephew's cute appearance, Xu Ning couldn't help but think of the little boy in the family in his dream.

The child was about the same age as her nephew, but he looked haggard and skinny, with deep sunken cheeks and unusually large eyes, just like the African refugee children she had seen in textbooks before.

Xu Ning felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. How great it would be if that family could also have enough food to eat.

"Auntie is not unhappy. I am just thinking about something. Come and eat, little baby. Only if you eat well can you grow tall." Xu Ning responded gently to the little nephew in her arms.

"Ningning, you should eat more too!" Mom smiled and picked up many of Xu Ning's favorite dishes for her.

Seeing this, the younger brother and sister-in-law quickly took their son back.

"Sister, you have to eat more. You've lost weight!" The younger brother said as he diligently picked up some food for her.

"Yes, sister, we will feed Xiaobao, so you can eat more without worry!" Xu Ning's sister-in-law also echoed.

Xu Ning smiled slightly. As usual, the family sat together and chatted for a while after dinner. Her 28th birthday was over.

After seeing his brother's family and mother off, Xu Ning went to check the gifts sent by friends in the room.

One of the boxes had an odd shape, which caught Xu Ning's attention. Before opening the box, she found a card on it that read:

"Dear player, happy birthday! Congratulations on becoming our guest on our journey through the ancient famine escape game.

The following is the game introduction: Our game is called "Take You to Ancient Times to Escape Famine". In order to bring players an immersive gaming experience, the system will actually teleport players to ancient times.

At the same time, in order to ensure that players can successfully complete the task, we specially give them a treasure chest that is almost omnipotent.

The treasure chest contains everything, and players can redeem any items they need based on their points.

If you successfully complete this mission, the main system will grant you a wish, which can be huge wealth, supreme status, or even rebirth...

In addition, after the game is over, you can also deal with the treasure chest as you like. "That is to say, after completing the task, not only can you fulfill one wish, but you can also own all the items obtained in the game.

Xu Ning opened the box with anticipation and was surprised to find that the box inside was exactly the same as the one in her dream.

She carefully picked up the box and gently pressed the buckle. A blue light screen popped out of the box instantly.

"Hello dear players, I am Treasure Box No. 1, who traveled through the ancient world of famine escape. From now on, this system will serve you wholeheartedly!"

"Number 1?" Xu Ning asked doubtfully.

"Yes, player, you can also just call me Yibao." The words on the light screen flashed with a smart light.

"Pfft, Yilibao? Aren't you afraid that the mineral water company will sue you for infringement?" Xu Ning couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry player, Yibao doesn't quite understand what you mean."

"Okay, then I'll call you Bao from now on, or just omit it a little bit?" Xu Ning blinked and said mischievously.

"Okay, player. Our system has detected that you have read the game instructions. Do you want to enter the game immediately?"

"I have a question. How do I enter this game?" Xu Ning asked curiously.

"Player, the system will bring your consciousness into the character's body."

"What about my original body?" Xu Ning asked again.

"Your body will always be in this interface, player. Entering the game is like entering a beautiful and realistic dream, and your consciousness will completely replace the character in the game world."

"Is this game dangerous? Will I die?" Xu Ning asked what he wanted to know most.

"If your character dies, the system will arrange for you to restart the game. After you complete the task, the system will send your consciousness back."

"What if the mission isn't completed?"

"If you fail to complete the mission, the system will reset and you will have to play the game again."

"I mean it's never been completed..."

"Then the system will erase your consciousness." The voice of the treasure box sounded extremely mechanical when it said this.

In an instant, Xu Ning had the thought of giving up the game. After all, in the real world, except for the emotional aspect, she had everything else.

Xu Ning couldn't help but wonder, is such a high-risk game really worth her taking the risk?

However, she did have a wish that had troubled her for years, and this wish...perhaps only this opportunity could fulfill it.

"Bao, let me ask you one last question. Were you sent by my father?"

"Yes, Mr. Player."

"Okay, let's go." Xu Ning made up her mind. The next moment, the blue light of the treasure chest shone on Xu Ning, and her body quickly disappeared in the apartment.

At the same time, Daya of the Xu family of Daqing Dynasty used too much force to snatch back the treasure chest. Driven by inertia, her head hit the chest heavily and she fell into coma immediately.

"Daya! Daya! Don't scare your mother! Wake up!" Xu Ning had a headache and opened his eyes drowsily, only to see a group of pale-faced people surrounding him.

"Bao, have we traveled to ancient times?"
