Chapter 1

The clear blue sky was like a wash, the sea and sky merged into one color.

In the Survival World, a lone green island sat in the middle of an endless ocean.

On a crescent-shaped beach on one side of the Deserted Island, ocean waves ebbed and flowed.

Two fiddler crabs poked their heads out on the beach, waving their claws as they scuttled sideways majestically.

Suddenly.

A pair of feet descended from the sky.

The two bit-part crabs found their vision darkened and perished on the spot.

A figure appeared out of thin air on the desolate, uninhabited beach of the Deserted Island.

It was a young man, tall and well-built, about twenty years old, with a handsome face comparable to the readers.

At this moment, he was dressed in summer loungewear: a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.

His hands were frozen in the posture of shoveling rice into his mouth.

Once he realized what was happening, his face immediately filled with shock and astonishment:

"What happened?!"

At the same time, a reminder sounded in his ears:

[Welcome to the Survival World Newcomer Zone.]

[You have become Survival Challenger No. 74066, and the Survival Challenger template has been loaded for you.]

[Challenger benefits have been issued; please view them in your Survival template.]

[Newcomer Survival Mission (I): Survive on the Deserted Island for ten days.]

[Current survival duration: 0 minutes 30 seconds.]

[...]

Lu Xian recovered from his shock, his expression filled with disbelief:

"I was actually chosen?"

He knew what this was about.

The Survival World game that had been sweeping the globe for twenty years!

Every day, ten people were randomly selected from nearly ten billion people to enter the Survival World for a survival challenge.

The odds were lower than winning the lottery.

It was a survival game that nearly ten billion people dreamed of experiencing.

Because the origins of this Survival World were mysterious, once a mission challenge was completed, one would receive corresponding rewards!

You could even exchange for items you wanted and bring them back to the real world!

Veteran Survival Challengers used resources from the Survival World to become extraordinary beings, establishing massive corporate families in the real world and dominating their regions.

There were also quite a few who, after becoming Survival Challengers, achieved overnight fame and wealth in the real world.

Lu Xian's anxiety gradually gave way to excitement and anticipation.

He wasn't afraid of being chosen by the Survival World.

Because the rules and gameplay of the Survival World had been present on Earth for twenty years!

Dying in the Survival World at most meant losing the qualification to challenge.

You would return to Earth after death.

This was a cliché, a well-known fact. Therefore, for people, the mysterious Survival World was something they were accustomed to.

They weren't overly fearful.

Instead, they were eager to try, wishing they could volunteer for the challenge.

But the qualification for the Survival World challenge was randomly drawn.

There was no prior notice.

And it didn't matter if the chosen person was willing.

Once selected, you entered.

"Good thing I wasn't taking a shower or..."

Lu Xian thought to himself, feeling fortunate.

He scanned his surroundings.

A cool sea breeze and a damp beach, an endless expanse of blue ocean and sky.

On the side of the beach near the forest, there were scattered rocks and weeds, and further in was a dense, endless jungle.

"An island?"

It looked very desolate here.

After roughly understanding his situation.

The fire that had ignited in Lu Xian began to calm down.

Deserted Island survival!

The real-life version!

This wasn't the virtual game he played.

A single mistake, and he would be eliminated.

Lu Xian didn't want to miss this opportunity!

"Open Survival template."

He thought to himself.

Every surviving Survival Challenger could livestream in the Survival World, allowing people on Earth to watch.

They all had a certain amount of followers and influence in the real world.

Therefore, the gameplay of the Survival World was no longer a secret.

The next moment, his own Survival template popped up before Lu Xian's eyes:

[Survival Challenger: 74066.]

[Name: Lu Xian; Male; 21 years old;]

[Height: 1.83 meters.]

[Weight: 74 kg.]

[Survival Talent: Myriad Heavens Express.]

[Cumulative survival duration: 3 minutes 10 seconds.]

[Mission] [Achievements] [livestream room].

"Myriad Heavens Express?"

Lu Xian checked the template.

The first piece of information he looked for was his own Survival Talent.

A Survival Talent was a permanent, exclusive benefit for every Survival Challenger in the Survival World.

Some could conjure flames with their hands or spit ice water, some could listen to the voices of plants, and some would receive a fixed water source every day.

There were also talents like accelerated crop growth, double fishing yields, animal domestication, ghost repelling, and so on.

These Survival Talents were varied, strange, and differed in strength.

When Lu Xian saw the information about his Survival Talent:

"Myriad Heavens Express, you can receive express packages mailed by viewers from the livestream room."

"The number of express packages you can open daily is determined by the roll of a die, refreshing the next day."

"The restrictions on the content of items for the Myriad Heavens Express in the Newcomer Zone are as follows..."

After reading it.

A strange expression appeared on Lu Xian's face:

"I can actually receive express packages sent by others?!"

Mailing items from the real world to the Survival World!

For so many years, people only heard of Survival Challengers bringing items out of the Survival World.

Except for the Survival Challenger's clothes, it had never been heard of anyone bringing things from the outside in.

"I feel like my talent isn't weak."

Lu Xian thought to himself.

Subsequently, he opened his exclusive Survival livestream room.

He felt a bit nervous inside.

After all, it was his first time being the protagonist.

And he was being livestreamed.

He felt a bit restrained and unable to let go.

However, it seemed that since it had just been opened, the livestream room was not yet known to anyone.

"Then let's walk around the beach first and see if there are any gains."

Lu Xian often went camping in the wild with friends during vacations, and had even tried primitive survival challenges.

He wasn't a wilderness novice.

His current environment didn't allow him to zone out, so he immediately had an action plan.

First, scout the surrounding environment, then find a place to build a shelter, and at the same time, look for food and water sources.

"There is no marine debris on this beach."

"Otherwise, I could pick up some bottles, cans, or fishing nets and reuse them as waste."

Lu Xian walked along the beach for a lap.

He found that the beach was quite clean, with no household waste. Besides crabs, shellfish, and stones, there were only fallen leaves, broken branches, scattered rocks, and weeds on the shore.

For the environment, it was a good thing.

But for a Survival Challenger stranded on a Deserted Island, the difficulty of the survival challenge was not so friendly.

"Huh? There are banana trees? Is it a tropical climate?"

After finding nothing else on the beach, Lu Xian's gaze turned to the forest on the shore.

He soon discovered the existence of banana trees in the forest.

And just at this moment.

A bullet chat page appeared on the side of Lu Xian's vision:

[Wow? A new Survival Challenger found! I'm so envious, when will I be chosen T﹏T]

[Short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops on the beach, the perfect match for a seaside vacation.]

[A handsome guy has followed you.]

[Streamer, what Survival Talent did you get?]

Huh?

Someone is watching the livestream?

Sure enough, whether it's a new or veteran Survival Challenger, there will be viewers watching.

After all, watching Survival livestreams has been the most popular form of entertainment in the world for the past twenty years, with a base of billions of viewers.

Moreover, the livestream homepage also has recommendations for newcomers, which will attract some traffic.

In the blink of an eye, there were over a hundred people in the livestream room.

"Hello everyone, I am a new Streamer who just joined the Survival World today, named Lu Xian."

Lu Xian greeted the bullet chat in front of him.

He continued:

"My survival mission is to survive here for ten days."

"The temperature is currently pleasant, and the environment looks quite good."

He needed to manage the livestream room.

Because the livestream room could also bring benefits to the Survival Challenger.

What's more, Lu Xian's Survival Talent, Myriad Heavens Express, required people to mail him packages, so he had to take it seriously.

Bullet chats flooded in:

[Standard newcomer start.]

[Hey, looking at his outfit, the more I look, the more it seems like he's here for a vacation, hehe (◦˙▽˙◦)?]

[I bet he'll definitely suffer tonight.]

[Wearing shorts and short sleeves in the wild, the mosquitoes alone will be enough to handle.]

[What if his Survival Talent is very strong and can kill mosquitoes ヾ(・ω・*)ノ]

[Yeah, yeah, I remember a Survival Challenger whose Survival Talent was body scent that kills insects, known as the Mosquito-Killing Hero.]

[Streamer, what is your Survival Talent?]

Lu Xian noticed that the bullet chats were all asking about his talent.

He would have to livestream in the future, so there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

Moreover, livestreaming was mandatory; one had to livestream for a certain duration every day before they could choose to end the stream.

"My talent is that you can mail express packages to me."

Lu Xian said with a smile.

Myriad Heavens Express, whether it can truly reach the Myriad Heavens, he didn't know.

But for now, being able to receive express packages should be true.

His talent should be either strong or weak, right?

It all depended on the viewers' support.

What if someone sends a roasted whole lamb or something...

Slurp~

Lu Xian swallowed his saliva.

In this way, the survival challenge doesn't seem that difficult, right?

[What? Holy crap! Mail express packages!]

[The Streamer can receive express packages in the Survival World? This talent is too much of a cheat!]

[Serious? How to mail??]

[Can I mail poop?]

[Emmm, this genius upstairs, please calm down!]

The livestream room's bullet chat was full of question marks.
