When Li Qingran woke up from the suffocation of drowning, he found himself lying on a broken raft. A cold system prompt sounded in his mind: "Welcome to the sea survival game. The current number of survivors: 10,000. I wish you a happy life."
No food, no fresh water, surrounded by endless dark blue graves. Other players were killing each other and eating their companions in despair, but she accidentally activated the hidden Mall of All Realms - which can exchange ocean resources for supplies from countless planes.
When others sacrificed their lives to snatch a dead fish, she exchanged shark teeth for a whole box of compressed biscuits; when others killed people for fresh water, she used seaweed to make a water purifier. She bought the "waste" from players at a low price, resold it to the system to earn the difference, and soon monopolized the game economy.
She established a "floating city on the sea", took in abandoned female players, established an intelligence network, issued shell currency, and became the only rule-maker in the entire server. As for the second-ranked young master, Lu Chenzhou, every time she provoked him, he was plotted by her to the point of losing everything.
However, the game gradually reveals its weird side - whispers come from the deep sea, the system issues moral dilemma tasks ("Ten human sacrifices in exchange for the rain stopping"), and sunken ships that do not belong to this era float on the sea.
Li Qingran used his childhood memories to exchange for a map from the undersea black market, and discovered the truth: this game is a distress signal sent by the earth in 2500 AD - the sea has swallowed up all the land, and only the consciousness of mankind is left struggling in the virtual game. The way to clear the level is not to kill, but to use the mall to exchange for an ancient coral seed to rebuild the ecosystem in reality.
