The Buddhist Cultivator Scrapes by Every Day on an Interstellar Survival Livestream

[Next novel: Road Survival, and the Villainess Taking First Place on the Leaderboard Is Only Natural, Right? Blurb below.]

Fuyu was an energetic Buddhist cultivator who loved life, until a tribulation lightning bolt struck her and sent her to the interstellar era millions of years in the future.

Fuyu: Oh well! I'll keep loving life in a new place!

Cosmic Survival is the most popular elimination show of the moment. It even determines the status and fate of every planet.

When Fuyu arrived, she was on her way to being selected.

She promptly waved goodbye to her parents, then set off for the show with a big black iron wok, a small shovel, and a bag of seeds.

On the wilderness map, everyone else was fighting for their lives while she dug holes and planted vegetables.

Audience: That seed's sprouting at a pretty weird pace. Let's keep watching.

At a palace banquet, everyone else was frantically solving puzzles while she banged on her wok in someone's garden and chanted sutras.

Audience: Why is she chanting again?!

On the racetrack map, everyone else was crashing into each other while she figured out how to dig a cooking pit and stew horse meat.

Audience: Aren't monks supposed to avoid doing bad things?!

In the Lost City of Loulan, everyone else was uncovering Loulan's secrets while she...

Audience: She's flying around on her wok. That's so cool... Wait, no! Didn't Blue Star say they don't have cultivation?!

People of Blue Star: We don't! We really don't!

Lian Yu was a high-level criminal who held the Interstellar Alliance's top-secret Planet Annihilation Plan. With a danger rating of five stars, she was swiftly executed after the Alliance captured her.

When she opened her eyes after death, Lian Yu had been reborn as a beggar girl on a dead planet...

Road Survival is currently the most popular survival variety show. It has captured the public's attention not only because it's novel, but also because its elimination rounds are brutally unforgiving.

The fights are bloody and real.

The contestants come from all walks of life: the most evil, the strongest fighters, people with special abilities... In short, they all have one thing in common: they're powerful.

The seeded contestants in particular are all listed on the interstellar combat rankings, without exception.

But! When the show began, everyone was stunned. The person who kept dominating the leaderboard wasn't one of the fan-favorite seeded contestants, but a frail girl who looked like she had no ability to fight and seemed a little dead inside!

Her gaze was world-weary, and she held an iron hammer, utterly out of place among the strong people around her.

Yet not only did she have far more supplies than the others, she was also far more skilled at killing.

The most infuriating part was that every time she killed someone, she'd mutter, "Amitabha. May Buddha protect you."

Audience: Of course! Blue Star's murderers all love vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers!

With a triple-drop-rate talent, Lian Yu had what could only be called an incredible start.

She had several times more supplies than everyone else and never had to worry about food or drink.

But! Because her original body had gone hungry for years, it couldn't grow strong, and she frequently suffered from stomach problems. It made her furious and even more sick of the world!

Especially when some tall, muscular guy came over to show off and try to rob her, she'd use him to add a new entry to her murder-method handbook and expand her repertoire of killing skills!

The audience strongly condemned her: She's pretending to be weak so she can catch them off guard!

Lian Yu, innocently: Barely any killing. I haven't even killed forty percent of them.

Theme: Live each day with optimism.
