[Your first beginner challenge is: Survive 50 days on an uninhabited island]

Lin Jingshu opened her random beginner's pack. Inside were only a tarp, an entrenching tool, a red scarf, and a flashlight.

Her eyes lit up. While the other players wondered what condoms were for, complained that the axe was too heavy, or said the knife was too small, she had already worked out exactly how to use every item.

A tarp? Perfect for building a shelter!

An entrenching tool? It can chop trees, clear weeds, and dig soil!

The scarf can be unraveled into rope and even used to weave a fishing net.

As for the flashlight? First, take out an AA battery to start a fire.

While the other players chewed tree bark and ate wild fruit, she found a bamboo grove. Short-term fresh water supply, acquired! High-protein roasted bamboo worms, acquired!

When her period came, the fur she'd tanned with animal brains finally came in handy!

While the lazy survival method was all the rage among the players, she firmly believed exploring and looking for resources was the way to go. At last, she found a dried-up riverbed. Long-term fresh water supply, acquired!

When the 50 days were over and the rewards were tallied, Lin Jingshu learned that the game did have a golden finger, though it only worked sometimes

[Plant Scan: Even Baidu gets things wrong sometimes. Isn't it normal for me to fail?]

Lin Jingshu: ^_^ I'd rather rely on myself.

P.S.

1. The golden finger is used sparingly. The story focuses on realistic wilderness survival.

2. All relevant knowledge comes from books and the internet.

3. This is entirely fictional. Do not imitate the survival methods.

4. There is a romance, and both leads are each other's one and only. This is not a no-romance story!

5. The blurb is not meant to disparage the other players. They use tools too, and some find water sources or filter seawater. When the heroine has no food, she also chews tree bark and eats wild fruit. The blurb is just a template.

6. This is an ensemble survival story, but the heroine's personal storyline takes up a large portion. The desert and grassland rounds are her solo challenges.

7. Anti-piracy: 30%

8. Every challenge map is different, so buying the whole story at once is not recommended!

9. I don't accept writing advice. I hope everyone enjoys reading. If you don't like it, please don't let it ruin your mood. Sending love (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡

10. This is absolutely not a feel-good power fantasy... Both the main and supporting characters are constantly fighting to survive against the odds.
