[Wasteland game + invincible protagonist + academy rivalry + ruthless decisiveness]
"Cavern Survival" is a wasteland game.
The world setting: A nuclear war breaks out on the planet, killing and injuring countless people. The food on the surface is contaminated. Just as humanity is on the verge of starving to death, "Cavern Survival" descends and turns the world into a game.
The rules of "Cavern Survival": After turning fifteen, surviving humans can awaken a supernatural game ability.
Some awaken spatial abilities, some awaken a get-rich-quick System, and others awaken a trash-picking System.
After the world becomes a game, humanity leaves the nuclear-ravaged surface and ventures deep underground.
Countless mineral treasures can be mined underground. These minerals can be exchanged in the game's shop for currency, food, weapons, secret manuals...
The farther one gets from the surface, the higher the quality of the minerals. Correspondingly, the strange beasts guarding them are also more powerful.
Human civilization is rebuilt underground.
--
Su Yu transmigrates to a wasteland game world, where several decades have passed since "Cavern Survival" descended.
The first ten underground levels have become safe living spaces for humans, but the depths below the tenth level are still teeming with terrifying beasts and tempting treasures.
Underground exploration teams have become the hottest career in this wasteland world. But because the death rate is extremely high, these teams regularly draw ordinary people from society to serve as support staff.
Su Yu has never awakened a supernatural ability since transmigrating, but she is determined to get into an underground exploration university. Underground cities have a rule: students admitted to an underground exploration university are exempt from serving on exploration teams for several years.
Su Yu plans to use those years to study and wait for her ability to awaken.
Unexpectedly, before the exam results are released, someone frames Su Yu, and she is inexplicably registered for an underground exploration team. In a few days, she will have to head to underground level eleven to assist the team members in killing monsters and mining.
It is a zone of strange beasts that has not yet been fully developed. Without an ability and with no strength to fight, Su Yu is certain to die on underground level eleven.
Su Yu is stunned. Her plans have been completely thrown into disarray.
On the day before the exploration team sets out, just as Su Yu falls into despair, the long-awaited game ability finally awakens!
"You have awakened the Invincible Sign-In System!"
"Ding... Sign-in Day 1: The player receives one pair of gloves that will make them invincible in every fight."
"Ding... Sign-in Day 2: The player receives one set of invincible armor."
"Ding... Sign-in Day 3: The player receives one mining card that multiplies drop rates by ten thousand."
"Ding... Sign-in Day 100: The player receives one card that raises all attributes to the maximum level."
Su Yu always repays a grudge. She puts on the invincible gloves and punches the person who framed her to death...
After following the exploration team into the strange beast zone, Su Yu dominates the underground world!
Less than a year after awakening her ability, Su Yu has become the strongest player in the wasteland game!
