Chapter 19 The Real World 3
Chapter Nineteen
Lin Xia was startled and quickly went to the deck. Looking at the water level outside, she saw that all the buildings had been submerged. Everywhere she looked, there was water, which made Lin Xia, who grew up in the north, feel a sense of panic.
The sea was filled with rafts. The waves weren't big, but most people in the city only went to the beach occasionally during holidays. At this time, they all clung tightly to the rafts, or simply clung to them, drifting with the current.
Suddenly, a fishing rod appeared in her hand. She instinctively gripped it tightly, then glanced around and saw that almost everyone around her had one.
Backup successful: Fishing rod *1 backup, survival points required: 1
[Game Rule 1: There are many treasure chests in the ocean, and the fishing rod is the only way to obtain resources, so please keep it safe.]
[Game Rule 2: If the boat is destroyed, the player dies. Finding a complete boat within 5 minutes will save you from death.]
[Game Rule 3: There are two upgrade paths for your ship: 1. Lifestyle upgrades; 2. Offensive upgrades. Please choose carefully, as the treasure chests you catch will better match your chosen path.]
[1. A type of boat used for daily life, capable of carrying many people and forming human settlements.]
2. Offensive vessels, capable of carrying numerous weapons to form a sea fortress.
[Note 1: If you choose a life-saving type of boat, you can upgrade your boat level for free now to rescue more humans!]
[Note 2: The initial boat equipment is not a raft, which is more suitable for upgrading to Category 1. If you choose Category 2, the amount of fishing resources will be halved, and your name will be marked in red. Please consider this carefully.]
Please explore the other rules on your own.
Everything is for survival; please try your best to live.
Lin Xia looked at the rules that appeared on the panel in front of her and laughed in anger.
At this moment, someone spoke on the national channel.
[Hello everyone, I am Tan Mingquan. I was fortunate enough to participate in the survival game and obtained fire-type abilities! On behalf of humanity, I earnestly request players with non-raft-type vessels to choose category 1—Life Skills Upgrade. I hereby guarantee that if we encounter human settlements, I will protect them—all for our survival! Resist red names! If I see a red-named vessel, I promise I will fire upon you!]
After glancing at it, Lin Xia looked away.
"Sister, let me on the ship! I promise to upgrade our weapons and protect our settlement!"
"Yes, I also guarantee that if you choose option 1, you'll get a free upgrade, and there will definitely be enough room for all of us."
"Yes, from now on your ship will be our gathering place, and we'll all choose Category 2 protection for your ship. Isn't that a win-win situation?!"
"Hurry up! If you don't choose, your supplies will be halved! Have you thought it through?"
"That's right, if you don't choose option 1, you'll be a red name. Believe me, nobody will talk to you in any future transactions!"
"Damn it, hurry up! I'm freezing to death!"
"Sister, please, I'm so cold too. I promise to protect you from now on," the little girl on the second floor pleaded.
......
Lin Xia gritted her teeth, her chest churning with anger. To ask her to hand over her fate to someone else was a pipe dream!
If there were no survival game that allowed her to enter and obtain these items, she definitely wouldn't have had the courage to choose category 2. But now, she has the confidence: Red name? I'm afraid you'll all be begging me to trade!
For a moment, this idea filled her with both a surge of pride and a mix of emotions. The game that had caused them to become homeless had now become her lifeline.
And human nature never disappoints.
She decisively chose the second type of attack vessel.
[Please choose non-raft-type boats with caution.]
[Select the attack type.]
[You cannot change your selection after making a choice, please be careful.]
[Select the attack type.]
[Selected.]
[Ding! Player 37, the first non-raft player to choose upgrade type 2, is now red-named.]
A global announcement rang in everyone's ears, and Lin Xia felt his entire ship flash red.
"Fuck your mother! You filthy bitch, I'll kill you!"
Lin Xia looked at the person who had uttered those malicious words, drew her gun—Bang! It struck him right between the eyebrows! Brain matter splattered everywhere!
"Ah—" After a series of screams, everyone fell silent, looking at Lin Xia in fear, and paddling hard to get away from Lin Xia's boat.
Seeing so many people boycotting and insulting her on national and regional channels, Lin Xia directly exchanged for a megaphone and shouted on the world channel.

From now on, anyone who insults me will be blocked and I will refuse to do business with them. And to Tan Mingquan, congratulations, you are the first person to be blacklisted. Feel free to come and criticize me.
Note: All players with red names will have priority in transactions.
As soon as Lin Xia made her call, the entire regional channel fell silent. What followed were various questions, but no one dared to hurl insults anymore.
A barrage of criticism: 【Sister! Look at me, I support you! Everyone, stop with the moral blackmail. Choosing what to do is someone's right. If you want, you can all choose category 1, and you'll be promoted immediately.】
Lazy Cat: [Well said, I also support Sister Sanqi! Everyone, don't forget, this system isn't a good thing, why should we listen to what it says?]
Unique: [That's right, everyone shouldn't always expect others to sacrifice; I support players with red names (indicating they have negative reputations).]
[I also support this. Everyone has the right to choose. This is a survival game; you can only rely on yourself.]
......
Lin Xia glanced at it for a while, then stopped paying attention, ignoring the rapidly increasing number of private messages.
Lin Xia put the fishing rod into her spatial storage, sat on the sofa, and pondered why this system was designed for non-raft players. What was the basis for distributing boat equipment?
Her special ability stems from her mental power, much like her dreams. Could she possibly guess that the size and type of the ship's equipment are related to her mental power? But she has no evidence.
Looking at the [Basic Protective Shield] again, Lin Xia no longer hesitated and redeemed it directly. The chat channel seemed harmonious now, but that didn't mean no one wanted to kill him. He had shown off his ample supplies, which gave them another reason to kill him.
【Use or not?】
【use. 】
[A yacht has been detected at the player's location. Should we apply this to the yacht?]
【yes. 】
[Size is correct, shape adjusted, already in use.]
The small bubble on her hand, which was emitting a faint glow, suddenly swelled up and flashed white light, covering the entire yacht. After using it, Lin Xia found that the rain could no longer get in, although she could still feel the wind, but it was much calmer.
Another item has appeared in her panel:
[Owns boat equipment: Yacht.]
[Level: Three]
[Protection: Primary protective shield, Remaining energy: 10000/10000]
As she looked at the protective shield, a message popped up on it: "Enable privacy mode?"
Lin Xia chose yes, but her gaze remained unchanged, unaware of what it looked like outside.
