Also known as: Road Survival: The Number One Player Is a High Schooler
Lian Yi is an ordinary high school student, except that she's a little strong and a little good at fighting.
One day, just after seeing a Douyin video titled “You've Never Been to Sailimu Lake?” and starting to daydream about the lovely road trip she'd take after her college entrance exams, she and all her classmates were thrown into a survival game by the Main System T003.
She opened her eyes to find a straight highway in front of her. At the same time, the System announced:
[Welcome, player, to Earth Online DLC, the strategy survival game: The Road of Learning!
Everyone must study. There is no end to learning on the Road of Learning. Keep moving forward, pass as many stations as possible, learn new things, and keep enriching yourself!]
[Your starting vehicle has been deployed. Please check it.]
Lian Yi watched as a Wuling miracle car appeared in front of her. But...
“This is road survival, but I'm a high schooler without a driver's license!”
Luckily, the System gave her one chance to draw a different vehicle. Lian Yi knew absolutely nothing about driving, so she casually tried her luck, never expecting to draw a colorful UR card.
[Congratulations, player! You've drawn a vehicle: The Infinite Train!
Quality: UR
The Infinite Train extends endlessly according to its conductor's wishes. It is humanity's Ark in a sea of knowledge! It can travel along any player's road, and the conductor receives rewards as the number of passengers grows.
P.S. (Since the conductor is a lousy student, anyone who boards the train will be protected by the conductor in the game. No amount of knowledge can erode your mind, and even the hardest math problem can't attack you if you can't solve it!)]
Lian Yi: ...Why does the description of this golden finger sound like it's insulting me? Whatever, time to find some passengers.
But... why are the rewards for finding passengers all basic stat points?
She thought they'd be something more impressive.
The all-humanity survival game began, and every eligible resident was dragged into it. In countless instances, they struggled desperately to survive, unable to live or die.
But amid the terrifying monsters in an instance, players on the verge of death heard a voice like heavenly music.
“Do you need help?”
A black-haired girl held out her hand to the girls and boys trapped in desperate situations, a faint smile appearing on her icy face.
It was the absolute confidence of someone who knew she could fight ghosts and monsters.
As if possessed, everyone who heard her words took her hand. Then...
They watched helplessly as this aloof girl, as cool as Lin Daiyu, punched her way through D-rank, C-rank, B-rank, A-rank... and even SSS-rank monsters!
Everyone else: If she's not cheating, I'll eat my hat!
Showing up to save people on a train is one thing! But punching an S-rank ghost into the ground? What kind of terrifying basic stats are those?
Lian Yi blew on her fist. “Sorry, I don't do flashy tricks. In one sentence, my basic stats are four times yours.”
Villain: “Just four times? If I use an item, I can still...”
Lian Yi smiled. “I mean four times as many digits!”
“Come on, the best and brightest in every field! Board my train and explore the parts of this damned game that have been marked off-limits to humanity! Let's save the world together!”
“As you command, my conductor.”
At first, everyone looked down on the train. Later, even the top ten players couldn't buy a ticket, no matter how much they spent.
The world's greatest act of rebellion!
[An all-humanity survival game with chuunibyo fantasies / Earth Online survival game / historical figures / gods of every field / cyberpunk and ancient-world instances / the heroine looks like Lin Daiyu but is actually Lin Chong, overwhelming skill with sheer strength, an almost naively cruel feel. I'd call it a black sun / academic in-jokes]
The train vehicle idea was recorded on June 7, 2025.
