Announcement Rewards

The next moment, the sandy ground before Ji Xinghe was enveloped in a white light, from which came the sound of plastic stretching and wood clattering.

Five seconds later, a blue plastic tent measuring 1 meter by 2 meters occupied half the island's space.

Its entrance faced the empty sandy ground, while its back faced the crashing waves—fortunately, the plastic blocked most of the seawater...

Shelter Details.

[Tent Shelter (Level 1): Two square meters. A place that barely shields you from wind and rain, but be careful not to catch rheumatism.

Upgrade Requirements: Thatch ×50, Wood ×50, Stone ×20, Wow Coins ×10, Island at Level 2.]

Yes, a level-one shelter was just a small tent, with the only interior feature being a few wooden planks pressed against the ground.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—just then, the system's mechanical voice suddenly rang out in her mind.

[Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first shelter construction achievement in the entire region. Reward: Achievement Points +1, Raffle Ticket +1, Free Attribute Points +1.]

[Detected that the player has entered the Survival World. Announce it? Announcing will grant double rewards.]

Ji Xinghe thought for only 0.1 seconds before clicking agree.

If she didn't announce it now, once the Rankings came out, her nickname would still be exposed anyway. Better to announce now and get the benefits.

[Detected that the player has one more unannounced achievement. The system will announce both this time.]

[Server Announcement: Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first first-tier monster kill achievement in the entire region. Reward: Achievement Points +1, Raffle Ticket +1, Free Attribute Points +1.]

[Server Announcement: Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first shelter construction achievement in the entire region. Reward: Achievement Points +1, Raffle Ticket +1, Free Attribute Points +1.]

She gained another: Achievement Points +3, Raffle Tickets +3, Free Attribute Points +3...

But this time, Ji Xinghe didn't allocate points immediately. Instead, she clicked the [Island] button on the transparent panel.

Might as well upgrade the island at the same time, so no one else could beat her to it.

[Island (Level 1): Five square meters.

Prosperity: 5

Daily Output: 1 Wow Coin (can be claimed once per day)

Upgrade Conditions: 10 Wow Coins, island area expanded to twenty square meters, and all reinforcements successful.]

She glanced at her backpack—36 units of soil and 31 units of Foundation Stone, enough to reach level two.

As for Wow Coins, since they could only be claimed once a day, it was best to upgrade first and then claim them, maximizing resource efficiency.

[Consume 16 units of soil and 16 units of Foundation Stone to expand and reinforce the island?]

Confirm.

The next second, the soil and Foundation Stone in her backpack flew out automatically, layering onto the island.

Pieces of land, like in a game, were placed however Ji Xinghe wanted.

Widening by three grids and lengthening by two, she squeezed the tent right into the center of the island.

In no time, a 4-meter by 5-meter island was successfully built.

Without wasting time, Ji Xinghe immediately upgraded the island.

[Consume ten Wow Coins to upgrade the island?]

Rubbing her hands together, she instantly clicked "Yes."

[Upgrade successful. Current island is Level 2.]

[Island (Level 2): Twenty square meters.

Prosperity: 21

Daily Output: 1 Wow Coin (can be claimed once per day)

Upgrade Conditions: Prosperity reaches 50, 50 Wow Coins, island area expanded to fifty square meters, and all reinforcements successful.]

Ji Xinghe thought it over—it seemed that only when island Prosperity reached 50 would the daily output increase.

One square meter of reinforced foundation equaled one point of Prosperity.

Buildings, special furniture, planting... all could increase Prosperity.

She remembered there was Black Earth and seeds in her backpack; she'd take them out and plant them later.

[Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first Level 2 island achievement in the entire server. Reward: Achievement Points +5, Raffle Ticket +5, Free Attribute Points +5.]

[Player 001, announce it? Announcing will grant double rewards.]

"Announce it! Announce it for me!"

Ji Xinghe was a little excited—this was her first time getting a server-wide reward, and the rewards were so generous...

But... didn't that mean someone else had beaten her to the first kill and first shelter upgrade?

Then why hadn't the server-wide announcement come through before? Did they choose not to broadcast it, or was there another reason...

"Regardless, I need to speed things up."

While everyone else still had first-tier islands and their shelters had entry requirements, she hurried to upgrade her shelter to tier two.

[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first server-wide achievement of upgrading an island to tier two. Rewards: Achievement Points +5, Raffle Ticket +5, Free Attribute Points +5.]

Next, she consumed Thatch ×50, Wood ×50, Stone ×20, and 10 Wow Coins to upgrade her shelter to tier two.

She was short on soil and Foundation Stones, and her Prosperity was still lacking—otherwise, she would have pushed the island straight to tier three...

[Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first server-wide achievement of building a tier-two shelter. Rewards: Achievement Points +5, Raffle Ticket +5, Free Attribute Points +5.]

[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to Player 001 for completing the first server-wide achievement of building a tier-two shelter. Rewards: Achievement Points +5, Raffle Ticket +5, Free Attribute Points +5.]

After a flurry of announcements, her total haul was: Achievement Points +23, Raffle Tickets +23, Free Attribute Points +23...

She'd never been this rich in her entire life...

And those Free Attribute Points—last life, after a whole month of grinding, her highest stat was only thirty points, and that was because she'd skewed her build.

Now, fresh into the game, she was already rolling in it? ?·??·??*.

Meanwhile, the chat hall had already exploded...
