Surviving the Sea: Unlimited Resources via Ads

Waking up one day, billions of people are thrown into an endless ocean, each starting with a broken ship. Some band together to form pirate crews, some sail solo to plunder ships, some claim islands and rule, and others build naval factions. Ordinary survivors struggle on small rafts, eating raw fish and drinking salty seawater, often fighting over small amounts of fresh water. The protagonist, Lu Guan, however, has an exclusive ad system that grants generous rewards for watching thirty-second ads: repairing the raft and increasing speed, recruiting top-tier golden swordsman crew members, unlimited ammo for cannons, tenfold expansion of cargo space, complete with granaries and workshops. From a level 1 shabby raft to a level 100 Pluto-class ancient ark. As long as you watch enough ads, there's no attribute you can't attach, no crew member you can't recruit, and no enemy ship you can't sink. While others struggle to survive in the storm, Lu Guan sits in a temperature-controlled captain's cabin, leisurely enjoying a deep-sea hotpot, even treating the giant tentacle monsters that attack as ingredients. Years later, countless players are still struggling in the coastal waters, but Lu Guan's black-sailed fleet has already swept across the entire endless ocean, becoming a legend among all pirates. Lu Guan: "I really didn't cheat; I just watched a few more ads." — Description from novelcodex.org
