Wait, Wasn't This Supposed to Be a Survival Game for Everyone?!

Lu Ci is accidentally pulled into a survival game that supposedly involves everyone.

Having read all kinds of novels, Lu Ci quickly accepts reality and eagerly gets ready to make a name for himself. But can someone explain this to him?

Why does every player count shown in his World Channel, Regional Channel, and Nearby Players Channel

say ZERO?!

So this "everyone's survival game" only pulled him in after all!!!

Lu Ci: This is just picking on an honest man!!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

With no other choice, Lu Ci has to scrape by, starting a difficult solo survival run in the game world.

.

Many years later, Lu Ci has unlocked ultimate technology and is surveying his ocean territory aboard the One-Eyed Giant.

The long-missed System voice sounds in his ear once more:

[Server-wide announcement! Welcome to: The Endless Deep Sea!]

Watching the player count in the World Channel suddenly leap from zero to ten digits, Lu Ci: ?

The players are transported into the game world, ready to roll up their sleeves and make a name for themselves. Then they see the enormous marker for Lu Ci's private territory on the map, along with a deep-sea submarine so huge it defies description.

Players: ?

Players: Why does an everyone-survival game have a beta tester!!! This is just picking on honest people!!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
