Chapter 1
Qiao Sheng opened her eyes and saw the blue sky and white clouds. She frowned and recalled that her last memory was sitting in front of a computer desk playing a survival game when it was still dark.
The reason she stayed up late playing games was actually because she bravely resigned! She worked 996 at work and was as tired as a dead dog when she got home. She still had to endure the information bombardment from her leader in the middle of the night.
As a normal person who has not been smoothed by society (mainly because single dogs do not have various debts), she threw her resignation letter on the leader's desk (during the drill, she wanted to slap him in the face, and she had to yell loudly that she quit, but when she actually did it, she was scared), and went home with her personal belongings that day.
After resigning, she decided to take a break. She slept for two days in bed. Then she bought and downloaded various computer games. She started a life she never dared to think about after work. She was addicted to various games day and night.
In that survival game, she controlled the little man in the computer. She had just collected all the wood needed to build a shelter and put it in a temporary storage box. The next step was to explore the map and look for other materials.
The memory stopped here. Before she could try to recall anything, she heard the sound of water in her ears. She sat up suddenly and looked around. She was dumbfounded.
All she could see was the vast ocean. She was wet. She looked down and saw that she was sitting on a floating board. The board was so small that she couldn't even lie flat. Her body was wet because her legs were soaked in the sea.
Seeing this, Qiao Sheng's first reaction was to retract her legs, cross her legs, move her buttocks, and sit in the middle of the floating board. She must not knock the floating board over because of imbalance. She didn't have a life jacket on her body. With her doggy paddling swimming skills, she was afraid!
Before she could figure out what was going on, a mechanical voice came to her ears.
[Congratulations to player No. 38 for joining the sea survival game. 】
"Sea survival game?" Qiao Sheng couldn't help but ask. After all, although his last memory was also a survival game, it had nothing to do with Hai Ke. As for this number, please call her a middle-aged beautiful girl. This number is a bit too straightforward and a bit hurtful.
【Players need to complete digitization to query the specific content of the game. Does No. 38 need to perform digitization now? 】
"If I don't digitize, can I be sent back?" Qiao Sheng felt that it was still possible to talk about the conditions at this time. If he really couldn't resist, it wouldn't be too late to accept it.
【Players only have two choices, accept digitization and survive in the game, and don't accept digitization and be directly wiped out. 】
The emotionless mechanical sound made Qiao Sheng feel cold. She didn't get a chance to choose. It was either fun or death. If she couldn't go back, she could only resign herself to her fate.
After making a lame choice and agreeing, Qiao Sheng began to wait, wanting to see what the so-called system digitization was like. But there was nothing in her ears except the sound of water.
"Hey, system, are you still there?" The overly quiet environment made her feel uneasy. She tried to communicate with the system, but still didn't get any response.
When Qiao Sheng was about to get angry, she finally heard a "ding" sound in her ears.
[Congratulations to player No. 38 for completing the digitization. You can now enjoy the sea survival game. The system reminds you to pay attention to your personal data during the game. Thirst, hunger, and low health will cause the player to die.] The system sound is different this time. Although it is still a mechanical sound, it always sounds exciting.
"Where will you be resurrected after death?" Qiao Sheng immediately grasped the key point.
[Death in the game will wipe out the real world. Players, please try your best to survive!]
"Just one life? Is it appropriate to play so big? Before digitization, it was either play or die. After digitization, it is also a dead end. Shouldn't this be said in advance?" Qiao Sheng deeply felt the malice from the system.
[Try to survive. You can call the system if you need it, but it is uncertain whether the system will crash. Players should try their best to be self-reliant.]
No matter how she called, the mechanical system sound never rang in her ears again.
After confirming that the system had played dead, Qiao Sheng resigned herself to checking her digitized body.
At this moment, she was holding a colander in her right hand. The clothes on her body that were originally damp had dried up. After trying for a long time, she was sure that the game could not call up any task panel. It was destroyed. She was numb. She was asked to pay attention to her personal data, but she couldn't even see where the data was. How could she pay attention to it!
Holding the colander, she began to scoop into the water unconsciously. The first thing she scooped up was an empty plastic bottle.
"Are you here to pick up marine garbage? Who is so lacking in public morality that he throws plastic bottles into the sea!" Qiao Sheng muttered as he took the plastic bottle off the sieve and prepared to put it on the floating board. People who have played a lot of survival games always habitually put away everything they pick up.
When he got the plastic bottle, the words "check" appeared in front of him. Qiao Sheng confirmed and checked, and a few more lines of introduction appeared next to the plastic bottle in front of him.
[Name: Plastic bottle, way to obtain: scoop or pick up from the ocean, wide range of uses, players need to explore on their own.]
Seeing this introduction, Qiao Sheng's eyebrows jumped. "Explore on your own", it was basically the same as saying nothing. He put the plastic bottle on the board behind him and continued to scoop it into the sea with his head raised.
Half an hour later, there was not much room left for Qiao Sheng on the float. He took down the few leaves hanging on the colander, looked at the half-empty colander in his hand and the marine garbage that filled the float behind him.
Qiao Sheng sat cross-legged on the float and began to count the spoils.
A total of 15 plastic bottles, plastic boxes, plastic boards, and various forms of plastic products were picked up. The wooden boards were all of the same style, a total of 30 pieces, 30 leaves, 2 sweet potatoes, 2 drift bottles, and 8 iron products.
I checked the introductions one by one:
[Name: Wooden Boards, Leaves, Ways to Obtain: Scavenged from the Ocean or Cut Down Trees, Widely Used and Need Players to Explore on Their Own. 】
【Name: Sweet potato, Obtained by: Collected from the ocean or dug from the ground, Use: Can be eaten or planted. 】
【Name: Iron products, Obtained by: Collected from the ocean or dug from the seabed, Wide range of uses, players need to explore by themselves. 】
【Name: Drifting bottle, Obtained by: Collected from the ocean, Use: Use to get surprises. 】
Qiao Sheng was happy while uncorking the bottle stopper of the drifting bottle, this is almost like a lottery.
The first bottle got a floating board production diagram, the materials needed are also very simple: wooden board*2, plastic*2, the second bottle got a colander production diagram, the materials needed: wooden board*1, iron products*1.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should thank my good luck or the dog system for finally being human. The two production drawings that came out were both exactly what I needed.
It seems that I still need to pick up more of these drifting bottles. Not only are there production drawings inside, but these empty glass bottles also look very useful. They can be used to decorate daily necessities in the future.
I first took two pieces of wood and two pieces of plastic. When I held these things in my hands and thought about making them, the things in my hands turned into a large floating board. The sudden weight in my hands almost made Qiao Sheng bring them into the sea.
He stabilized his body and struggled to push the floating board into the sea, parallel to the floating board he was standing on.
Soon Qiao Sheng started to get busy again. The two floats were floating separately, without any tacit understanding. She stretched out her foot to hook the float that had just been made and had not floated too far to fix it, and began to look for things in the existing inventory that could fix the two floats.
In the end, iron products and leaves were locked. For such a wide range of uses that she had to explore on her own, Qiao Sheng decided to use her imagination. Based on her recent experience of playing survival games, raw materials such as leaves and grass can be made into ropes, and iron products should be made into nails without any problem.
First, she picked up the leaves, thinking about making ropes. The next second, two leaves were missing from her hand, and a bundle of ropes appeared. At the same time, a ding sound came from her ear. [Congratulations to player No. 38 for completing the production without a recipe for the first time, and the recipe for making a net is awarded. ]
Qiao Sheng was so happy that she was silly, but at this moment, she was still using her hands and feet to control two floating boards, so she couldn't really cheer.
"Is this a change of luck, or has the physique of a non-African gone far away, and the emperor of Europe has been added?" Qiao Sheng muttered and picked up the iron products again, thinking about making nails.
After three consecutive production failures and the disappearance of three iron products, as the fourth iron product disappeared, five nails appeared in her hand.
As arrogant as Qiao Sheng was laughing the moment before, he wanted to cry the moment now. He was supposed to be blessed by the European Emperor, but how could he still have a chance of failure! A 25% success rate, it was embarrassing to say it out loud.
He had no time to sigh about his unlucky physique. He took the nail and started to measure between the two floating boards. After two minutes, Qiao Sheng chose to give up. This job was impossible to do. The floating board was a structure with a wooden board on the upper layer and a plastic box on the lower layer. The angle of the nail was not easy to control. If the plastic part was pierced, no one knew whether it would damage the floating board.
The most important problem was that she didn't even have a handy tool except for a fence. She was not strong enough to hammer nails with her bare hands, so she had no choice but to pick up the rope as a second best.
This time it was much easier. There were some gaps around each floating board, enough for the rope to be inserted. Qiao Sheng used the shoelace technique and quickly tied the two floating boards with a rope. The range of movement was greatly expanded.
After a while, Qiao Sheng's living space changed from one floating board to four square floating boards in ten minutes.
Check again to see the remaining materials on the floating board: 9 plastic products, 24 wooden boards, 22 leaves, 2 sweet potatoes, 4 iron products, 5 nails, and 2 empty glass bottles.
There were not many things left, and these four floating boards were definitely not enough for her to stock up in the future. She simply made a new colander with a piece of wood and a piece of iron and kept it at hand. The next task was endless scavenging.
Half an hour later, the old colander ran out of durability and disappeared from Qiao Sheng's hand: "This setting is not bad, otherwise give me a colander with empty durability, which will take up a little space."
Picking up the new colander with full durability, just as she was about to continue scavenging, Qiao Sheng felt a little dry in her mouth. Although she couldn't see the specific value, she knew that this was a sign of thirst, and she might even feel hungry next.
Putting down the colander in his hand, he took the existing materials and prepared to study how to make a seawater filter.
Wood boards are definitely useful, plastic is also useful for distillation, iron products seem to be useful, and empty glass bottles may also be useful. Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Qiao Sheng's head was full.
There were too few glass bottles, so he didn't dare to try. After putting the others together and making them twice but both failed, Qiao Sheng didn't dare to start casually. After all, the materials are limited and can't be wasted.
