Su Mi's life took a dramatic turn for the better when she bought an electric scooter.
She could go east to buy durian, west to buy fried skewers, and hang a bag of extra-spicy, extra-stinky luosifen from the handlebars.
The next second, she was pulled into an infinite highway game, where green-skinned monsters fell from the sky and attacked everyone they saw.
Su Mi was a high school senior. For the first eighteen years of her life, she'd thrown herself into studying. The only skill she'd learned was solving practice problems and getting high scores.
Suddenly, she remembered a single-player game from childhood: Road Rash.
She tied durian husks to her legs, hopped on her little scooter, and chased after the green-skinned monsters, kicking them with a series of thwacks.
· Critical hit +7! Durian spikes are surprisingly effective weapons.
· Luosifen is too stinky! Your human scent is now 60% hidden. Monsters will avoid you.
· Congratulations on your first monster kill! You are now the first player in your region!
Su Mi looked at the game bracelet on her wrist, patted her little scooter, and bound it.
Everyone else chose to bind a large vehicle: sports cars, RVs, even big trucks.
But Su Mi was convinced her electric scooter was her safe house.
Then she regretted it!!
When she tried to join a team for a dungeon run, she was rejected. Her talent was weird, she had no skills, and her vehicle was the weakest.
After being turned down once again, Su Mi slammed her hand on the table in fury. "Don't underestimate a test-taking nerd's talent! You'll regret it!"
The other players still said, "No test-taking nerds."
Su Mi: QwQ
-
A full year after the game launched, the leaderboard was about to be announced, and everyone was watching.
At the top was neither the person showing off their wealth in the world chat nor the gang leader who threw their weight around.
It was an unknown nobody no one had ever heard of. Her talent was even more baffling.
[Small-Town Test-Taker]
"What kind of ridiculous talent is that? Solving problems during the apocalypse?"
Su Mi herself knew nothing about it. She focused on the fight until she landed the final blow.
[World Chat] [System Message]: East City Gas Station: Super Boss first kill complete. Time elapsed: 3h 21m. Management rights transferred to the first-kill team. Team roster: Su Mi.
"Am I seeing things? She soloed it?"
Who said a test-taking nerd's talent was useless?
Su Mi straightened up.
She would take every gas station, toll station, and rest area.
One person was a whole team.
Us small-town test-takers are best at coming in first.
