Team Up and Compete in a Cutthroat Game

[Pre-order: Road Survival: Keep Moving Forward. The blurb is at the very end. Thanks for your support!]

The country's biggest game company has released a new large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game, and it has attracted countless players since its launch.

Si Xin is a longtime gaming addict. No matter how exhausted she is after work, she still logs on for dungeons and team battles once her shift ends.

On the day the game opened for public beta, she even took a day off to camp in front of her computer, logging in at the very first moment.

The moment her registration succeeded, everything went black. When she opened her eyes, she was dumbfounded. How had a PC game turned into a virtual reality game? How had she ended up inside it?

Looking at the sign above her head that read "Newbie Village," she was forced to start playing this "virtual reality game."

Along the way, she picked up a pair of siblings. The older sister was a wild little girl who loved gouging out boss monsters' eyes and spitting at them.

Her younger brother was an artsy young man who did nothing but stand behind people, waving a fan and playing the zither.

Later, some other strange "people" joined the party.

When the three of them entered a dungeon for the first time, other players at the entrance teased them for bringing the whole family on a sightseeing trip.

Then the first-clear announcement went out, shocking the other players. It was supposed to be a five-player dungeon, so how had three people cleared it?

Later, everyone realized that these three didn't just claim first clears and steal boss kills. Every shop in the main city that other players coveted belonged to them, too.

They'd all been dragged into the game against their will, so how come some people were thriving with such ease while they remained nobodies?

The game's natives had it even worse. Outsiders were always taking their business.

Si Xin wore a gloomy expression. "What do you mean, thriving with ease? What do you mean, taking your business? I'm exhausted every single day. It's only by working with professionals that I can just barely scrape by."

The little girl looked innocent. "Si Xin, Si Xin, I don't want a striped dress. I want a lolita dress! With bows! And lace! Stats don't matter. It just has to be pretty!"

Si Xin sighed and started rummaging through the boxes. "Now you know how the equipment shop came to be. All that gear you covet is stuff one certain little girl thought was too ugly."

The young man frowned and swept out his sleeve. "Si Xin, I'm hungry. Let's go eat. Put a mana-restoring buff in the food. The blue potions from the pharmacy are too bitter, and I don't want to drink them."

Si Xin rolled her eyes. "Now you know where the top-quality food in my fast-food shop comes from. There's a young man at home who's way too picky."

Fortunately, their teammates were pretty good at life skills, too, so the whole team's earning potential went up↑

She'd picked up her teammates, so even if she had to cry about it, she still had to support them. Si Xin looked at the game coins in her inventory and sighed. Everyone thought she made money easily, but who knew she spent it just as fast?

Pre-order blurb: Road Survival: Keep Moving Forward

Qi Meng was just taking an afternoon nap. When she opened her eyes, the bed beneath her was gone, and she was sitting in her pajamas inside a car on the verge of breaking down.

One wrecked car, one precious life, one winding road, and countless unknown dangers. If she wanted to survive, she had to keep moving forward.

A beginner's protection period plus recurring natural disasters. She had to get home! She had to survive and make it home! As soon as she opened her eyes, it was time to get to work!

She stockpiled supplies and fought, putting equal effort into both. She worked hard to upgrade her little wreck of a car and improve her living conditions. She was a lucky sort.

From harsh conditions to abundant supplies, she kept pressing onward, all for the sake of getting home.
