Burning with passion for archaeology, Jiang Lan earned admission to Jingshi University with outstanding grades.
She thought she would devote her whole life to the archaeological field she loved, until a line of text appeared before her eyes:
[Loading survival game...]
Yes, she transmigrated during her very first class of the school year.
More precisely, she and the vast majority of humanity transmigrated.
Here, they were called players, each with their own player ID.
Only by taking part in one deadly survival game after another could they earn the right to survive in this so-called survival world.
But unlike everyone else, she awakened a talent unique to her:
[Congratulations, Player Jiang Lan. You have awakened your exclusive talent: Catalog of Ancient Civilizations.]
[This is a work compiled from the efforts of countless people... What? You want to know what it's for? Well... it makes a pretty painful bludgeon.]
Jiang Lan: ?
How is that any different from an unprinted dictionary?!
---Actually, there is a difference.
Before long, Jiang Lan realized she might have underestimated this "blank" textbook.
It always guided her to find strange and wonderful things---
like the Yongle Encyclopedia, used by an anomaly to prop up a desk; a bronze mask being used as a party mask; and a Four-Ram Zun vessel being used as a flower vase...
And as long as Jiang Lan could activate these cultural relics, she could light up their symbols in the catalog and awaken powers beyond the ordinary!
So the terrifying survival games that everyone else faced took on a completely different look for Jiang Lan:
[You have collected the Painted Bronze Lamp in the Shape of a Goose with a Fish in Its Beak. A small area of contamination has been dispelled.]
[You have collected the Painted Pottery Basin with Dancing Figures. You have gained an infinite water supply.]
[You have collected the Sword of King Goujian of Yue. It can automatically inflict massive damage on anomalous entities.]
Jiang Lan: Hah, why didn't you say so earlier? This is just a collection game...
From barely scraping by alone at the start to building her own team, Jiang Lan climbed all the way to the top of the rankings, becoming the leader of all races, until... another catastrophe struck humanity.
But by then, she already had a plan:
[You have collected the Qin bamboo slips from Shuihudi. The Civilization Archive function has been unlocked.]
[You have successfully revived lost human civilizations.]
No CP, not a traditional infinite-flow story, original scenarios.
Theme: Civilization endures forever
