Two-Person Survival: Dropped Onto a Foggy Island from the Start

[Multiplayer Survival Series: Natural Disasters, Stockpiling, Farming, and Infrastructure Building]

When Jiang Ling woke up, he had been pulled into a two-player survival game.

A million people had been dropped onto a collection of islands, surrounded by endless water and fog.

Here, players had to work in pairs to survive in the wilderness, face terrifying fog that devoured their sanity and attacks from powerful monsters, and endure one natural disaster after another.

Jiang Ling had it worse than most.

Not only did his teammate die from the start, he was also a pretty face with 10 Charm and 3 Constitution.

Other people could swing an ax six times to chop down a tree. He swung an ax six times, ran out of stamina, and passed out. How was he supposed to survive like that?

Just as he was at his wits' end, a series of announcements rang out:

[Congratulations, player Jiang Ling! Your initial Charm and Inspiration attributes are both at their maximum. You have received the exclusive title "Beloved of the Gods," the exclusive bound item "All-Knowing Magic Mirror," and one Awakening Stone ^_^]

[Beloved of the Gods: While wearing this title, all player attributes increase by 2, maximum Sanity increases by 20, and all neutral creatures' favorability increases by 60. When attacked, there is a chance of summoning nearby neutral creatures to help ^_^]

[All-Knowing Magic Mirror: Unlocks access to the full catalog of basic resources. Its holder may spend Spirit Energy points to ask the mirror any question within its knowledge or foresee future events, once per day ^_^]

[Congratulations, you have awakened the Spirit-Pattern Master profession. Spend Spirit Energy points to unlock the study of specific spirit-pattern categories ^_^]

Jiang Ling blinked. Maybe this game wasn't so bad after all?

He could use the mirror to find resources and predict natural disasters.

Rely on the Beloved of the Gods buff and high Charm to befriend NPCs and tame pets.

Develop his Spirit-Pattern Master profession, unlock all kinds of healing, defensive, offensive, and support spirit patterns, trade for and stockpile resources, establish plantations, and reinforce and upgrade his shelter...

Jiang Ling worked hard to survive every day.

What he never expected was that after the game selected one million people out of a global population of ten billion and randomly dropped them onto deserted islands, he would run into his one and only ex-boyfriend.

Ever since discovering that Jiang Ling had also entered the survival game, Qi Qingyi had been worried every moment. How could his frail, helpless, picky, and cleanliness-obsessed ex-boyfriend endure this kind of hardship?

So every day, he tried to find ways to bring him some warmth.

Later, they teamed up and moved in together.

Qi Qingyi was stunned. "Why do treasure chests appear outside your shelter, and different NPCs show up every day to bring you resources? Why does every notification the System sends you end with ^_^, and why does it even chat with you when there's nothing going on???"

Your game and my game don't seem to be the same.

Qi Qingyi: hugging himself, with his Luck at 2 TAT

1. Both the top and the bottom lose their teammates from the start; a broken relationship is mended.

2. Players' initial attributes range from 1 to 10, but there is theoretically no limit to how many points can be added in the game.

3. Couldn't find anything to read, so I'm writing my own (=TェT=)

Theme: Love means supporting each other.
