Highway Survival: Reborn, I Was Forced to Grind My Way to the Top of the Rankings

In his previous life, Zong Zhengying had finally made it to the third server merge and was on the verge of beating the game.

Then a few "crazy men and women" suddenly arrived in the new zone, turning a brutal survival game into a mindless romance drama.

Even more ridiculous, these hopeless romantics were top-ranked players!

Their bizarre romance, in which the three realms were dragged down with them, directly caused 80% of the new-zone players to die.

Reborn, Zong Zhengying was horrified to discover that from the start, he'd landed in the very same new-player zone as those "crazy men and women."

Zong Zhengying took a deep breath:

To avoid being dragged down with those lunatics, he had no choice but to throw himself into building his career!

And so, players across the server realized something was off about this top player:

While everyone else was still figuring out the rules, he scored the first kill on the entire server;

While everyone else was fighting for a mouthful of instant noodles, he became the first player to enter a service area;

While everyone else was still dodging monsters, he'd already become buddies with the NPCs and monopolized certain trade goods to become a middleman...

Zong Zhengying: Does anyone else get it? At first, I really just wanted to protect myself. How did I accidentally become number one?

Note: The romantics have very little screentime and are purely background characters. The protagonist focuses solely on building his career.

Theme: Love life, love yourself.
