Chapter 1 Malice



A torrential downpour began, and a chill swept over us.

Sang Ning reached out to grab the blanket, but found nothing. She sat up groggily, opened her eyes, and was completely dumbfounded.

"Where...is this?"

The wilderness, the lush grassland, the damp, rain-soaked soil beneath me, and the roaring, rushing river in the distance, its rushing waters a constant murmur.

On the other side of the river, there were huge, brightly colored ferns and towering trees.

"!!!"

mischief?

Time travel?

A wave of unfamiliar memories suddenly surged in. Sang Ning groaned, clutching her head which felt like it was about to explode, and curled up into a ball, waiting for the memories to be transmitted.

A few minutes later, after receiving the memories and combining them with her own, Sang Ning sighed.

I actually time-traveled!

Or perhaps they were transported to a technologically advanced future world.

Sang Ning's gaze fell on the silver bracelet on her wrist. She knew it was a survival bracelet and also a live streaming device.

The original owner of this body shares the same name as her and is an orphan who is participating in a program called Survival on a Wilderness Planet.

This is a show with a huge prize. The contestant who wins the final victory and survives on a barren planet for three years will not only receive a prize of 200 million, but also a small habitable planet.

The original owner didn't have much interest in the prize money, after all, she was used to being poor and didn't know how to spend money.

The habitable planet is different; the planet where the original owner was born and raised had an extremely harsh environment.

Not only are they constantly plagued by sandstorms and sandworms, but they also lack water sources. Let alone taking a bath, it is difficult to even get a sip of clean water.

The original owner dreamed of leaving his native planet and living on a beautiful planet suitable for human habitation.

So when the original owner saw the advertisement for this program, she decisively signed up.

The original owner was lucky. There were countless contestants who signed up for the competition, but the program only offered 5,000 spots, and the original owner became one of the lucky ones among those 5,000 people.

But she was also unfortunate.

The original owner of this body had just been dropped into the survival area when he got too excited about the lush vegetation and tripped and fell to his death.

That's right, the original owner of this body fell and died, and then Sang Ning came.

The original owner's luck left Sang Ning speechless. She didn't want to transmigrate, especially not into someone else's body, but transmigration was a one-way ticket, and she...

It's highly likely we can't go back.

Live on.

The most important thing right now is to survive; we can worry about the rest later.

Taking a deep breath, Sang Ning stood up despite her discomfort. She first looked around, then walked towards the woods in the southeast direction.

As she walked towards the southeast, a deep, magnetic male voice suddenly emanated from the bracelet on her wrist.

"Contestant number 238, you slept for one hour and ten minutes in the heavy rain. Are you alright?"

The familiar Chinese language made Sang Ning feel at home.

She opened her mouth, as if to say that it wasn't good, that it was too cold, and asked if she could get some warm clothes.

But thinking about the rules set by the production team, she swallowed her words and changed them to—

"Everything is fine except for being a little cold."

The Moicaz universe is home to many life-bearing planets and intelligent races, but the flow of time varies due to the different star systems.

But regardless of whether it's night or day, the audience for the show "Survival on Wilderness" is too wide.

There are many intelligent beings watching the live stream.

The original owner's performance was too poor, and being from a poor planet, he had never taken the gene-modification fluid and was a primitive human whose genes had not been optimized.

Therefore, her live stream had the fewest viewers among all the contestants, with only a little over 13,000.

Upon hearing her words, the live stream chat exploded with mockery from online viewers.

"A poor wretch who doesn't even have a set of thermal clothing is participating in a survival program on a desert planet. It's a waste of a spot. Believe me, 238, let alone three days, it's uncertain whether he can even make it through today."

"Why isn't she dead yet? Hurry up and die, then the spot will be given to her."

"That's right, these primitive species whose genes haven't even been optimized should give up their chance."

"I don't understand how the program team selected them. So many excellent elite contestants signed up, but they chose a low-level primitive species that couldn't even afford gene modification fluid."

Among five thousand contestants, she was the only one of the original species. Everyone was baffled as to where she got the confidence to compete with these genetically optimized elites.

"Nobody thinks highly of 238? What a coincidence, I don't think highly of her either. Money is a powerful motivator. If I were 238, I wouldn't be thinking about money anymore. Quitting the show would be the most important thing."

"It would be too much of a loss to lose my life instead of getting the bonus."

"I curse her to die quickly. Living is a waste of air and nutrients, but dying will enrich nature. Death is her final destination."

···

As the only contestant who didn't take the gene optimization serum and came from a poor background, Sang Ning's live stream viewers were full of malice towards her.

However, Sang Ning was completely unaware of all this, as she was still trying to find a place to settle down.

Time passed slowly, and after searching for a while, she finally found a tree hollow in the woods.

This is a tree hole in a large tree with a diameter of five or six meters. The hole is large in area and high enough. Most importantly, the hole is dry enough.

After taking a look outside the cave, Sang Ning felt that this tree hollow was perfect as a temporary shelter.

But instead of rushing in, she picked up a twig and used it to tap and bang on things.

After waiting a few more minutes and seeing that no bats, snakes, rats, insects, ants, or squirrels came out, she cautiously went inside.

After checking and finding no animal feces, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that we have a safe place to shelter from the rain, all we have to do is wait for the rain to stop."

She sat at the entrance of the tree hollow and looked out. The rain was falling incessantly, and the surrounding scenery was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

They wanted to start a fire for warmth, but there was no fire or firewood. There were some dry leaves in the cave, but that wasn't enough.

So, we can only wait for the rain to stop.

She sat cross-legged at the entrance of the tree hole, calming her mind and circulating her inner energy to warm her body.

This body has no martial arts foundation whatsoever, and its meridians are narrow and sluggish, requiring patient and gradual practice of internal energy cultivation to unblock them.

After circulating the energy for three cycles, Sang Ning's body temperature, which had been continuously losing heat, began to rise, and she was no longer so cold.

In the live stream, the viewers who had been hoping for her death watched in stunned silence as her face returned to normal color from pale.

"No, how come she's back to normal?"

"I don't know why she's back to normal, but one thing is certain: she's no longer shivering from the cold, which means she won't die anytime soon."

"As expected of a lowly, inferior life form, it's quite resilient."

"I just want to know when she's going to die!"

A new viewer was puzzled by the barrage of comments wishing for character 238's death.
