From the Start with One Plank, I Survived to Become the Pride of China

After staying up all night livestreaming The Nth Day of Disaster Survival, a game that had viewers crying, “This is impossible! No human could play this!”, Chen Luotong finally became the first streamer in the world to beat it. Before she could even look at the gifts her fans had sent, everything went black, and she died suddenly of a heart attack.

When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the disaster game.

The good news: She had the walkthrough, so there was nothing to worry about.

The bad news: She had only beaten the prologue. The real story was just beginning.

Worst of all, the game had automatically switched to Hell Mode without her permission.

Chen Luotong: This is such a load of crap!

In the age of full-dive virtual reality, artificial intelligence advanced at a breakneck pace, and people confidently believed that humanity could triumph over nature. It seemed beyond dispute.

Then the world entered the first year of disaster. Storms, tsunamis, wildfires, and other calamities erupted all at once, rapidly swallowing humanity's homes.

The global survival contest was about to begin. Only survivors who made the rankings could earn reconstruction resources, access to a super-civilization, and the chance to restore their nation's fortunes.

Ten years later, Huaxia had won nothing. Its standing in the world had plummeted, and its people were suffering terribly.

One day, a young woman carrying a broken wooden board for protection appeared in the survival contest.

Contestants from other countries laughed. “Seriously? Has Huaxia fallen this far? She thinks that board will protect her? More like a plank to lie on!”

Chen Luotong scoffed. “What a bunch of idiots.”

Who could have guessed that before long, she would turn that unremarkable little board into the one and only Noah's Ark in human history, while winning super-civilization technology and reconstruction resources by the armful?

Seeing this, contestants from other countries fell to their knees. “Boss, take us with you!”
