A Soft-Spoken Girl's Road to Survival? She and Taotie Dominate the Rankings

[Rebirth, divine beasts, no romance, ensemble cast] [There’s plenty to read, the female lead is powerful on her own, the pacing is lightning-fast. You won’t regret giving this a try!] In her previous life, Xu Ning struggled for five years in a road-survival game, only to be killed with a single stab by the person she trusted most on the eve of victory. When she opens her eyes after being reborn, she’s back at the starting point of the road. From the start, she contracts with the ancient divine beast Taotie and sets out for a dazzling revenge! While everyone else is freezing like dogs in the cold wave, her contracted space is piled high with fruits and vegetables. While monsters chase everyone else, her divine beast smashes their heads with a single swipe of its paw. While others fight over a pack of compressed biscuits, she’s already selling guides in the regional chat, monopolizing the market, drawing everyone’s ire, and even finding time to write A Guide to Monsters. Players across the region: ??? “Xu the Outlaw, are you even human?” Xu Ning just smiles faintly and looks at her title, “Infamy Is Its Own Reward.” Insult me? By all means, keep going. The more players resent her, the faster she levels up. Later, the players across the region grit their teeth and flood the chat with messages. “Boss, carry me!” “Is Xu the Outlaw in first place again today?” “That little girl who kills without batting an eye... why does she look kind of cool?” Even her younger brother, whom she found again after being reborn, looks shocked as he speaks. “Sis, they all say you’re a villain.” “Mm.” “So when are you going to carry me?” Xu Ning glances at the divine beast munching on a crystal core, then at her brother’s message. “Now.” “Come with me and turn this lousy game upside down.” The System promised she’d return after five years. Is that a reward, or a trap? When the truth finally comes to light, Xu Ning realizes... this game was never designed for the weak.
