Entering the Island Survival World

After thinking it over, Ji Xinghe still bought the expansion voucher.

Space slots were never enough, especially when entering a dungeon. If she had to discard something good because she ran out of room, she'd be heartbroken.

Next came the mechanical casting and reeling in of the fishing rod.

As 21:00 drew closer, Ji Xinghe's fingers gripped her phone tighter.

Not a scrap of food remained on the table, and her eyes were fixed on the fishing column. The moment a red dot lit up, she'd reel in immediately.

In the empty office, the clock on the wall ticked, ticked, ticked away...

Until the hour hand stopped at 21:00, and Ji Xinghe's vision blurred.

The next instant, she heard the sound of waves crashing around her.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Though her eyelids were heavy, she forced them open.

Under the blazing sun, a massive floating panel materialized out of thin air before Ji Xinghe.

[Welcome, players, to the Island Survival Game. I am System 10066, and I will now introduce the game rules.]

[1. At the start, each player is assigned an individual island. Please upgrade your island level as quickly as possible, or you will die a miserable death.]

[2. There is a three-day newbie protection period. During this period, monster attributes are reduced tenfold. Stock up on enough supplies within this time.]

[3. This game includes all of Blue Star's humanity, including infants, the elderly, and the disabled. For fairness, the system will grant them care packages and special guidance.]

[4. Fishing rods are the players' most important survival tool. To obtain supplies, do not abandon them. If you accidentally lose one, good luck.]

[5. The island world's time differs from certain regions. Whether you feel energetic or not, you must be energetic! Because if you don't move forward, there's only one outcome: death!]

[6. The Island Survival World does not welcome the weak. Become stronger as quickly as possible, by any means necessary.]

[7. Do not trust anyone easily, including your friends and family.]

[8. Muttering "panel" will allow you to check more information. Finally, I wish you all survive to the end.]

Staring at the floating transparent panel and the game rules that were the same as before, Ji Xinghe couldn't help but feel grateful for her relentless past self.

At least she still had her "belongings."

With that thought, she quickly opened her backpack. Seeing the 86 treasure chests faintly glowing in the slots, she couldn't resist taking them out and arranging them one by one.

The island was tiny—just a few square meters. She stacked all the wooden chests six layers high to fit them in.

So this was how tall 86 chests stacked up. Ji Xinghe stood in the shade, stunned for a long while...

In her past life, it took over ten days of continuous fishing to get this much. This time, she'd done it in just three hours.

Ji Xinghe gently ran her fingers over the chests, the faint scent of wood wafting into her nose.

She... had never been this wealthy before...

She almost hated to open them.

Only when the waves crashed onto the beach did Ji Xinghe snap back to reality.

Her gaze shifted to the Black Great Shark lurking at the island's edge, and she parted her lips slightly: "Hey, buddy, these chests? Mine!"

Ji Xinghe lifted her chin proudly.

She wasn't afraid of the shark attacking at all. During the three-day newbie protection period, aside from prey she caught herself, no other sea monsters could get through.

The shark's triangular eye coldly slanted toward her. Its mouth, like a washing machine drum, gaped wide, saliva slowly dripping down between its sharp teeth.

Then its entire body slammed against the island's protective shield, again and again.

Ji Xinghe: ...

Maybe it just liked this kind of exercise.

She sat down boldly on the sand. As long as she didn't step outside the protective shield, those sea beasts could ram themselves to death and still not touch her.

Then, she opened all the chests at once.

(Three hours of accumulation, He Bao's supplies are quite abundant. There are still building, announcement, and other panels ahead. Please bear with me. (ε｀ *) Mwah~?)

The opened chest revealed supplies wrapped in glowing orbs of various colors, still dazzling even under the scorching sun.

Ji Xinghe's grin stretched from ear to ear as she quickly grabbed three light orbs containing expansion scrolls and used them.

With these twenty extra inventory slots, she now had thirty-five in total.

Not enough!

She packed large items like mattresses and wood, along with multiple supplies, into her backpack.

Ji Xinghe then took out the light orb containing the Storage Box blueprint.

The Storage Box's inventory slots were the same as the backpack's—both were static spaces, ideal for storing supplies or ingredients without wear and tear.
