Chapter 1: A Man at Sea, Starting with a Fishing Rod
Imagine waking up to find yourself at sea. What would you do in that situation?
Shen Jue didn't know what others would do; all she knew was that she was doomed because she had thalassophobia.
She was surrounded by seawater and was all alone on this 4-square-meter raft.
She was still holding a broken fishing rod in her hand. She really didn't expect that she would encounter such bad luck just because she took a nap.
Fortunately, there was a raft; otherwise, she might have ended up feeding the fish.
A person at sea, starting with a fishing rod...
What's going on?! Shen Jue was speechless. Her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't make sense of it all.
Although she really enjoys playing raft games, she doesn't want to be played by the game.
Just then, several voices rang in my mind.
Dear player, welcome to Survival at Sea! In this world, you will face many challenges and difficulties. Please remember that your mission is to survive in these unknown waters and strive to become the best survivor.
In this game, you will encounter various difficulties, such as resource scarcity, storms, and sharks. To survive, you need to make full use of your resources and abilities, make wise decisions, and at the same time, trust no other player and protect your raft.
[Friendly Reminder: You are currently in server 66, and chat is only available for this server. There is a game manual available; you can refer to it when you have some free time.]
Also, night is approaching, please take care of yourself.
Your fishing rod is your bound item; please do not discard it carelessly. New player protection period is three days.
During these three days, your raft will be immune to attacks from within the game and from other players. Strive to become the best sea survivor. Finally, we wish you a pleasant gaming experience!
After hearing this news, Shen Jue just wanted to curse to vent her anger.
Who understands? Who understands the plight of someone with thalassophobia in the deep sea?
Shen Jue felt like she was going crazy!
The pressure kept mounting; being in the deep sea, even with a small raft beneath her, she felt utterly insecure. She could clearly feel the increasing pressure on her body, experiencing chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and even a sense of underlying oppression.
It's almost dusk now, and darkness is just around the corner. It will be pitch black all around. How is she, someone who needs to sleep with the lights on, supposed to survive?
Thalassophobia plus mild nyctophobia.
Shen Jue felt extremely depressed and uneasy. The deep sea is full of unknowns; you never know what you'll encounter next. Moreover, this is a real-life survival simulation at sea, where you might encounter dangerous creatures or other unpredictable situations.
The thought of all this is absolutely terrible.
She's just an ordinary person, why should she have to suffer this unnecessary pain?
But she was too scared to jump into the sea; she was terrified of dying. She even went to learn to swim, the kind where you have to wear three swimming rings, though she never actually learned. Not only did she waste her money, but she also didn't learn anything.
She's just a sucker who gave away money...
If she could do it all over again, she would never find collecting rent so boring.
She'd rather stay bored like this forever than die here.
Although Shen Jue has many flaws, she has one advantage: she is adaptable and easygoing.
So even though she suffers from thalassophobia and mild nyctophobia, it doesn't change her easygoing nature.
People need to have something to look forward to in life.
Rather than letting miracles fall from the sky, create your own.
Besides, isn't this damn survival game just trying to kill her? She's determined not to.
She weighs 90 pounds but has the rebellious spirit of a 100-pound woman.
Since I can't run left or right, and I can't jump into the sea, I might as well see what information the game system can provide.
