Why Start a Farm When You Can Survive in the Wilderness? [Infrastructure]

Please follow my upcoming novel, "The Whole Sect Has Crippled Spiritual Roots [Full Dive]!"

Fifty years into the apocalypse, mutant beasts run rampant, plants have gone extinct, the environment is inhospitable, and humanity struggles to survive on nutrient solution.

Burdened with a massive debt, Jiang Ge is selected to take part in the beta test of the full-dive game "Wilderness Survival."

The rules require players to survive on a tropical island on their own for three years. The winner will receive a prize of 100 million Alliance credits.

After the game launches, Jiang Ge puts her survival skills to work. Her expertise leaves viewers in her livestream marveling at how incredible she is, earning her the nickname "Sister Ge."

When she first enters the game:

Other players fret over where their next meal will come from.

Jiang Ge is gorging on coconuts and seafood, digging up bamboo shoots to make chicken soup, grilling meat, gathering wild fruit, setting traps to hunt, building a shelter, and schmoozing with NPCs. She's living the good life.

And that's not all. Her daily points are through the roof.

Half a month later:

The other players are just getting used to the rainforest, still going hungry one day and eating their fill the next.

Then they hear that Jiang Ge next door is picking fights to capture prisoners and build houses. Everyone is horrified and avoids this "walking disaster."

The prisoners: That's a rumor! We'd protect our boss with our lives. You don't know how great it is to have room and board!

-

A month later:

The other players have learned to make traps and finally have enough to eat.

What?

Jiang Ge next door is already building a farm? She has a three-story stilt house the size of a mansion? She's cultivating fields and raising livestock?

Jiang Ge: That's not all. We've entered the Iron Age.

-

Six months into the game:

The other players finally have their own little plots of land. They buy seeds from the System shop, planning to copy Jiang Ge's farming model.

What? Jiang Ge next door has become the island's ruler? She's built a road right to her front door? She's working on industrialized farming and has ushered in the Industrial Age?

When Jiang Ge's land-grabbing leaves the other players with barely any territory left to explore, they've had enough and band together to cause a scene.

But they discover that the NPC who once ruled the island and terrified everyone is sweeping the courtyard at Jiang Ge's place.

The players: How are we supposed to fight that?

To their surprise, Jiang Ge starts recruiting on the spot:

1. Players wanted to help build a farm.

2. Duties: farming, animal husbandry, weaving, construction, iron smelting, cooking, brewing, running shops...

4. Work locations: fields, orchards, rubber plantations, cotton fields, ranches, distilleries, dessert shops, beverage shops, restaurants, hardware stores, power stations...

3. Eight-hour workdays. No overtime culture.

Other players: Heh, this is pretty great.

Livestream viewers: Being jealous of everything will only hurt me!

Things to note:

1. There is a male lead, and he is part of the main storyline throughout.

2. The story focuses on self-sufficiency.

3. The heroine has maxed-out skills, and the production process is described in detail. If that's not your thing, feel free to move on.

The story's message: Build a new island and achieve prosperity for all.
