Synopsis:
One morning, six billion people around the world wake up transmigrated and trapped in an endless sea of death.
A rickety boat, a single fishing rod. From the start, survival depends on fishing.
While everyone else risks their lives for a mouthful of fresh water, trembling in fear as sea monsters and storms take their toll, Lin Chen awakens an SSS-rank talent with odds of only one in six billion: [Infinite Deduction].
“You cast your line three times. The first two catch nothing, and the third will reel in a rotten plank. Would you like to replan the order of your casts?”
“There’s a prime fishing spot 135 meters to the northeast, with an 87% bite rate. I recommend moving your boat there within 30 seconds.”
“If you stay where you are, you’ll die in a sudden thunderstorm in three hours. Row west for 40 minutes now, and you’ll avoid it completely.”
For everyone else, fishing is a gamble with their lives. For him, it’s a math problem.
While others wait in terror to die in the disasters, he turns survival into a resource-management game.
In these deathly waters, where the death toll never goes down, everyone is an island alone.
That is, until a girl named Su Qingwan casually mentions in the regional chat that she’s caught a pearl that can purify seawater.
Lin Chen has just deduced that a devastating tsunami will sweep across the waters where she is in twelve hours.
Meanwhile, traces of other SSS-rank talent holders, along with one battle maniac, begin appearing in the chat channels of other regions.
Lin Chen quietly sends her a friend request and types a message:
“Hello. I’d like to make a deal with you.”
