Opening a Shop in a Survival Game [Reborn]

Opens in mid-December

Reborn overnight, Xu Hanyang discovers he has returned to the first day of the ocean survival game.

In his previous life, a leg injury put him behind everyone else from the start. But while exploring an island, he discovered a "Server-Wide Shop Operation Permit." The other players on the island ganged up on him to steal it, and they all died together!

Unexpectedly, he has been reborn, and his class has changed too.

[Beep! Server-Wide Shop Operation Permit detected!]

[This prize is unique and automatically activates the Merchant class. Please name your shop...]

Xu Hanyang smiles faintly and types: "Ocean Survival Shop."

In his previous life, the top players in Region 233 monopolized essential supplies and drove up prices, making it hard for lower-level players to survive and causing huge numbers of them to be eliminated. He hid his identity and kept a low profile to avoid attracting bad people while he was weak in the early stages.

Taking full advantage of his foreknowledge, Xu Hanyang frantically gathers and stockpiles supplies, rapidly upgrades his raft, and collects everything he needs to open a shop.

After the beginner period ends, natural disasters descend upon the survival game, and all kinds of dangerous sea creatures repeatedly attack the rafts!

Players cry out in despair. Those with life skills are at their wits' end, until they are astonished to discover the cruel game has left them a lifeline: the Ocean Survival Shop.

[Got the antidote! Back to full health!]

[The island is covered in sand, and you can actually sell it. Listen to me dig two li down with a moo!]

[I've received an invitation to become a permanent merchant! Who else but the Ocean Survival Shop could provide me with so many raw materials? At last, I can focus on making medicine...]

[It's only been a few hours since the fog disaster started, and I already bought a light pole at the shop. This is great!]

Xu Hanyang uses his shop to redistribute resources between regions, producing disaster supplies well in advance and making a fortune. He repeatedly takes first place on the major survival leaderboards, while his little raft grows into a sturdy sea fortress.

P.S. There's a male lead. One-on-one romance, both are each other's first. Three updates a day before signing, six after.

Theme: Seize opportunities, work hard, and change your fate.
