In 2239, resources are depleted and a higher civilization arrives, launching a “Mobile Deserted Island Survival” game for all of humanity. Each person gets a 200-square-meter deserted island that drifts at random with the ocean currents each day. They must fish for catches and treasure chests containing food, blueprints, weapons, and even ferocious beasts. All resources are uploaded to the System, earning the homeland real-world rewards worth 100 to 10,000 times their value.
Huaxia has the largest population and the scarcest resources, and its contestants have performed miserably so far. Lin Yue, a twenty-first-century food delivery rider, has only one hobby: beachcombing and fishing. His soul travels through time to 2239, where he’s selected to compete. While the other contestants can only talk theory, he relies on muscle memory to gather seafood along the tidal flats, read the tides, and set traps, using a single fishing rod to turn the tide for his country.
From being mocked by everyone in the livestream chat to making 1.4 billion people erupt with excitement. In this life, he’s no longer a delivery rider, but Huaxia’s only hope in the vast ocean’s desperate wasteland.
