Lin Xia opened her eyes and found herself wearing a strange set of clothes, completely covered up, which looked like a protective suit.

She was standing on the street, where visibility was low, sand was flying, and her clothes were fluttering in the wind.

He scanned the surroundings with his mental energy and saw that most of the shops on the street were closed, except for a small supermarket and an internet cafe.

Lin Xia went into the supermarket, bought some compressed biscuits, water, and chocolate, and then braved the sandstorm to walk towards the internet cafe.

First, download the map on your phone, then browse the news on your computer.

Twenty years ago, industrial development caused unstoppable environmental damage, resulting in global dust storms and frequent strong winds that swept across countries, to the point that we now experience a climate of yellow sand every day.

Forests have turned into wastelands, land subsidence has caused the disappearance of several small countries, many resources have been depleted, and humanity is no longer able to continue developing.

According to reliable experts from various countries, this planet will be completely destroyed within the next fifty years.

However, the technology here is not so advanced at this time. The world's top scientists have gathered here to build a spaceship and leave this place.

With limited spots available, countries engaged in fierce competition for them, as none wanted their cultural heritage to disappear, especially several major countries with rich cultural traditions.

However, if they want to preserve their respective national civilizations, they can only select the top talents in each industry.

The country she is currently in, Z, has developed a technology called holographic gaming technology. Every so often, they conduct assessments on it to select the people who have mastered the most knowledge, who will also be among the first to be admitted to the spaceship.

The formal assessment is in two days. This is the final assessment, to select the first batch of talents to leave the planet.

This holographic gaming technology is not only used for assessment, but also serves as a repository for all the knowledge of our nation's civilization, which people can access and learn at any time.

After browsing the news, since the game's name wasn't disclosed, Lin Xia speculated that, following the usual post-apocalyptic developments, the planet would likely be destroyed after the first group of people left.

Or perhaps you encounter some danger in a holographic game.

Or, after securing one of the first spots, they boarded the spaceship and encountered a disaster.

It's also possible that the world will end before the first group of people leave...

They might even be undergoing testing inside, and the world is doomed...

All of these possibilities are quite possible. Lin Xia searched for information about the development of this world and found that its development was very uneven. Perhaps because the apocalyptic crisis was predicted, technological development was more inclined towards space exploration.

In holographic games, only a basic mainframe is set up, and routine maintenance and repairs are mostly done manually.

Moreover, the virtual image constructed by a small portion of a person's brainwaves is only connected to the game. Even if one is actually harmed in the game, it will at most cause some mental damage and will not endanger one's life.

In this situation, unless there is external intervention, it is basically possible to rule out the possibility of any unpredictable disasters occurring in the game.

She didn't have enough money to buy protective suits, and she couldn't find a place to exchange gold. When she heard that she could exchange gold for gaming equipment, she exchanged some and put it in her backpack.

She first rented a small apartment for a month, then rented a small truck for ten days to go out and buy gaming equipment.

On the way, she prepared backups of various protective suits so she could exchange them directly if needed. Right now, she needed to hurry up and review the relevant information so that she could secure one of the first batch of slots, regardless of whether she went or not.

We soon arrived at the place where we bought gaming equipment. It was crowded, mostly with people buying gaming helmets, and there was a very long queue.

Lin Xia went directly to buy a gaming pod, which cost twenty times more than the helmet. She exchanged it for gold and had it loaded onto a truck. She also bought a sufficient amount of nutrient solution.

The moment she closed the door, Lin Xia transferred the items into her spatial storage.

Seeing the people following her, Lin Xia drove incredibly fast, shook them off, and then stored the car away in her spatial storage before striding off.

Only after confirming that no one was behind him did he return to his apartment.

After exchanging for a household robot and having it add nutrient solution to her body, Lin Xia lay down inside it.

Upon entering, Lin Xia saw a long list of rules. He used his mental energy to scan the list and found many restrictions on not harming each other.

All actions that could harm others are restricted inside, including contact between men and women, which is strictly limited.

As soon as Lin Xia clicked to enter the game, she felt a portion of her mental energy being absorbed into it.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a room with a bed, a desk, a chair, and a lamp.

She was lying in bed at the moment, and after a moment's thought, she felt that she was not very stable, that she was floating, and that she did not feel solid.

But her entire body seemed to be sculpted by spiritual power, a truly wondrous feeling.

After checking, she found that she could still use the dagger in her mental energy, which reassured her somewhat. Unfortunately, although the space could be opened, the items inside were unusable.

Upon opening the door, Lin Xia found herself in a dormitory building. Stepping outside, she saw a vast expanse of buildings, filled with numerous tall structures.

The rest of the buildings—teaching buildings, library, examination hall, canteen, recreation room, etc.—look just like a university.

People were coming and going in a hurry, and Lin Xia walked quickly toward the library.

It was unusually large inside, resembling a library, but the bookshelves reached all the way to the ceiling, and the books on them glowed with fluorescent light.

I only realized how it works after seeing others do it. When you stand next to a bookshelf, a search box will pop out, and once you find the book you want, it will automatically fly down.

Lin Xia tried it, and the book could be pulled out by itself. As soon as she pulled it out, she felt the knowledge inside automatically flow into her fingers and into her mental energy.

Lin Xia, who had been stunned, was overjoyed when she came to her senses. It was a history book, and the contents were not much different from the past of her own world, except that there were some deviations after entering the modern era.

Lin Xia, who had originally thought she would have to study a subject diligently, was pleasantly surprised. Looking at so many books, she felt like she was looking at a treasure trove.
