"It's so dark."
Wang Yu was surrounded by pitch-black darkness. He couldn't see a thing.
"Am I in the game already? Why is it so dark?"
Wang Yu reached for the wrist of his left hand. There was a band around it.
"Open the band."
A translucent Light Screen appeared in front of Wang Yu. It displayed two icons: [Personal Panel] and [Game Channel].
Game Channel?
Before he entered the game, the Light Screen had only shown a [Personal Panel] icon. Now there was also a [Game Channel] icon.
He immediately tapped the [Game Channel] icon.
Three icons appeared on the Light Screen: [Public Channel], [Private Channel], and [Game Mission].
Wang Yu had heard of the [Public Channel] and [Private Channel], so he tapped the [Game Mission] icon.
A block of information appeared on the Light Screen.
[Game Mission: Extreme Night Wilderness Survival.] [Game Difficulty: ★] [Game Mode: Open game, no restrictions.] [Game Description: You have become an extreme survival game Player. You and the other Players have been randomly placed in a wilderness that has just entered Extreme Night Time. All Players must survive in the wilderness after the onset of Extreme Night Time.

Extreme Night? Wilderness? Survival? It looked like this Survival Game would be difficult.
Just as people online had said, these Survival Games were difficult, and very few people could beat one and claim its rewards.
A few days ago, a band had suddenly appeared on the wrist of every person on Blue Star.
When they opened the band, a translucent Light Screen appeared before them, displaying a [Personal Panel] icon and a Game Invitation Card.
The [Personal Panel] showed some personal data about whoever wore the band.
His data was:
[Name: Wang Yu] [Age: 24] [Strength: 0.9] [Agility: 0.8] [Mental Power: 1.2] (The average Strength, Agility, and Mental Power of Blue Star Adults is 1.)
The video game invitation card was a consumable item. Once used, it let someone enter a Survival Game as a Player.
Players who beat a Survival Game could receive rewards related to that game.
One Player had beaten a Survival Game and gained the ability to fly.
The most popular video online right now was a video of that Player flying freely through the sky like Superman.
Such a supernatural ability had shocked the entire world.
Beating a Survival Game could bring all kinds of unexpected benefits, so people all over Blue Star used their Game Invitation Cards to enter the games.
However, Survival Games were extremely difficult.
Even among the One-Star Difficulty Survival Games that had appeared so far, very few people could beat them. The vast majority had simply wasted their Game Invitation Cards.
To enter a Survival Game, one had to have a Game Invitation Card.
There were seven billion people in the world, and each had a Game Invitation Card, so people were constantly looking to buy them online.
Many companies had also sprung up that specialized in buying Game Invitation Cards. Within just a few days, their price had been driven up to over a hundred thousand.
Many people had sold their Game Invitation Cards and made a fortune.
Of course, even more people had chosen not to sell theirs.
More people were willing to take a chance and join a Survival Game. After all, the rewards for beating one couldn't be compared to a hundred thousand in cash.
Wang Yu hadn't sold his Game Invitation Card, but he hadn't rushed to use it and enter a game either.
He only had one Game Invitation Card, and he wanted to prepare before entering. He decided to see how things went for others first.
So Wang Yu gathered a lot of information about Survival Games online.
The whole world was talking about Survival Games.
Many Players had posted online about what happened after they entered a Survival Game, and plenty of guides had appeared as well.
Wang Yu discovered that there were many different kinds of Survival Games. Everyone entered one at random, and Players couldn't choose the type of game themselves.
Time passed at a different rate inside a Survival Game than in the real world. Time in the game moved many times faster.
A Player might spend a long time inside a Survival Game, only to find that just a day or two had passed in the real world after leaving.
What's more, when a Player entered a Survival Game, their body traveled straight into it. They said the game was a real world.
Wang Yu learned a lot online about Survival Games.
Only after preparing for several days did he use his Game Invitation Card to enter a game.
As soon as Wang Yu entered the Survival Game, everything around him was pitch-black. He couldn't see a thing.
Now that he'd checked the [Game Mission], he knew he had entered a Survival Game called Extreme Night Wilderness Survival.
But with it so dark that he couldn't see anything, how was he supposed to survive in this wilderness?
Just as Wang Yu was at a loss, a Prompt Message popped up on the Light Screen in front of him.
[Ding! Player ready. Please select your survival tools.]
"There are survival tools?"
A moment later, rows of pictures of survival tools appeared on the Light Screen.
[Fire Starter][Javelin][Hammock][Small Hacksaw][Fishing Rod] [Glow Stick][Camping Pot][Axe][Sleeping Bag][Compass] [Tin Bucket][Hammer][Military Knife][Animal Trap][Water Flask] [Fishing Net][Torch][Entrenching Tool][Crossbow][Waterproof Tarp] [Oil Lamp][Flashlight][Tent][Climbing Rope][First Aid Kit] ... [Please select five survival tools. Tap a picture to view detailed information about the tool.]
