Zuo Tingliu is a lifelong food lover, a Level 10 expert at slacking off, and devoted above all else to the fishing rod her grandfather left her.
Then one day, she was selected to take part in a survival game.
Only by clearing the game might she return to the real world.
The deserted island before her was dangerous and barren. Unfamiliar green lights shimmered behind the trees, and there was no food or fresh water to be found.
Her ramshackle shelter was in desperate need of repairs, with drafty doors and windows and a negative defense rating.
And all Zuo Tingliu had was her ancestral fishing rod.
“Equipment detected: Mysterious Fishing Rod. Catch 100 more times to upgrade your current equipment.”
The System's notification chimed in her ear: “Your Mysterious Fishing Rod has detected five treasure chests within 300 meters. Would you like to reel them in?”
So you start on a deserted island, and get all your equipment by fishing?
A fishing fanatic never gives up! Zuo Tingliu rolled up her sleeves and got to work.
Food is scarce during the beginner period? She put her old skills to use and fished to her heart's content!

And so Zuo Tingliu spent every instance fishing, fishing, fishing.
While others explored, fought monsters, and searched for tools, she fished up treasure chests and built a premium fortress first.
While others started fishing up treasure chests and collecting survival supplies on the islands, she began sowing seeds in bulk and selling goods by the ton.
When others set their sights on her supplies and prepared to raid her island, they discovered that her premium fortress had already reached the highest level! They couldn't even get onto the island!
Zuo Tingliu: Who knows? I really do just love fishing!
