CompletedLogline: Starting from a single plank of wood, build a brighter future through hard work.
Qiao Sheng has regrets—not about quitting her job or her addiction to games, but about becoming obsessed with a survival game. After pulling another all-nighter constructing a shelter, she suddenly finds herself pulled into the game world.
Surrounded by an endless ocean, standing on a lone raft with nothing but a strainer in her hand, Qiao Sheng realizes her mistakes. "Why didn’t I play a farming game instead? It would’ve been all birdsong, blossoms, and abundant resources!"
System Announcement: "Congratulations, Player 38, on joining the Drifting Survival Game."
Qiao Sheng: "...Where do I respawn if I die?"
System: "Game deaths result in real-world obliteration."
Qiao Sheng: "Great, one life... high stakes much?"
Thus begins her journey of painstakingly upgrading a tiny raft into a multi-deck luxury ship. While other players struggle with scraps, she becomes the envy of the seas, with a ship so grand it sparks countless rumors.
Players gossip:
"Her ship is massive! I wish I could build something like that."
"Careful not to bump into her vessel! I heard she uses her strainer to fish for tools, while ours only gets trash and useless teammates!"
Relaxing on her hammock, Qiao Sheng hears it all and can only sigh. The rumors make her sound like some slave master—but in reality, she’s just clever. After all, every captain she’s "fished up" is there to serve her ultimate command!
Qiao Sheng: "Captain, is the milk tea ready? This one’s missing pearls. Make me a proper one!" She reclines, shielding her face with a straw hat as she basks in the sun, ruling her ship like a queen.
Themes: Hard work, perseverance, and self-made success in the face of adversity.
