Riding the Waves

Genius fencer Chu Hongluo fainted after tripping over her right shoelace with her left foot while stepping down from the awards podium. When she opened her eyes, she had arrived in the post-rules interstellar era. In this world, wind, solar, fire, and all other forms of energy had stopped working under the rules. The only energy source left was the ocean, choked with miasma and toxins. Humans had formed a delicate symbiosis with a mysterious species, working together to extract energy from marine life. And she had been dropped onto a resource-depleted abandoned planet on the verge of exploding. Humans, mysterious species, shadow people infected by ocean toxins... Every kind of creature was mixed together, and one careless mistake could get you killed in eighteen different ways. A true orphan, Hongluo struggled to survive among a crowd of colorful 'people', occasionally relying on her old skills to spear fish in exchange for food. Her greatest ambition was to save enough money to buy a house and live with a bathtub of her own. As for the explosion? Who didn't know that the sun would explode in five billion years? Until one day, around a corner, she ran into her friend, the daughter of a high-ranking official. Her friend looked troubled as she told someone that the planet would explode in three years. Chu Hongluo: Huh? It's really going to explode?! * Friend: I know you don't want to get involved in something this dangerous, but... Hongluo: When are we leaving? (Grabs her bag) Friend: We might have to find the old interstellar passage first, then head to the island lord's estate... Hongluo: What if we just cross this sea?! Reading Guide: 1.
