“Detected: the player’s starting supplies rank 666th in Zone 666. The 666 Title has been triggered and equipped automatically. You’ve obtained a brand-new three-wheeled electric motorcycle! Keep up the good work.”
“With the 666 Lucky Title equipped, one random item will be upgraded every day. This is truly an amazing title… you really lucked out.”
“Starting supplies have been sent:
1 bottle of 500 ml mineral water. (With it, you’ll feel the refreshing coolness of summer!)
2 large steamed buns (Not many, but enough for a hearty meal. Be grateful you have them! No complaining allowed.)”
Jiang Li stared at the three-wheeled motorcycle before her, dumbfounded. She touched the rubber handles, her heart pounding with excitement.
It was so green it gleamed… really cool.
This was her beloved little vehicle, her partner through thick and thin.
Jiang Li hugged the motorcycle and kissed it again and again, then giggled foolishly.
Hehe, she would never have to drag a broken bicycle forward again, and she would never have to grind her soles raw again. Now she could easily complete her daily tasks.
A second chance, a brand-new start… bring it on. Right now, I am the toughest and strongest.
Filled with gratitude, Jiang Li picked up the mineral water and large steamed buns from the ground and carefully placed them in the cargo bed behind the driver’s seat.
The cargo bed was not big, but it was more than enough for her current supplies.
She looked at the dish basin full of dirty bowls on the ground.
Jiang Li was at a loss. Water was precious; she could not bear to use it for washing dishes.
She could not bear to throw it away either. After all, she had worked so hard to bring it in.
Jiang Li knew she had very few possessions, so she cherished every item around her.
She placed the basin in the farthest corner of the cargo bed, took a deep breath, raised the ultra-slim wristwatch on her left hand, and opened her personal panel.
The unchanged overall stats gave Jiang Li a rude awakening on the spot. Ouch… pathetically weak, as always.

Jiang Li felt extremely awkward. But on second thought, what was there to be awkward about?
Live your own life. Who cares what other people say?
Starting over, she would never bottle herself up again.
She directly hid her real name and stats, and casually changed her nickname to Li Taibai.
In her last life, she had forgotten to change her name and had been harassed every day.
She had to remember the mistakes she had made. Jiang Li quietly encouraged herself.
She would not look at the chat channel for now. It was better to finish the driving task quickly.
Jiang Li twisted the throttle and started moving, wobbling at first. Fortunately, the road was perfectly straight and very friendly to a total beginner.
On the first day, the chat channel was nothing but complaints… nothing worth reading.
She needed to hurry and find crates. During the Novice Protection Period, crates were still easy to find.
She had only been driving for a short while when Jiang Li spotted a wooden crate right in the middle of the road.
She quickly got off, moved the crate into the cargo bed, took a few sips of mineral water, and immediately pressed on.
The daily driving task during the newbie period was 20 kilometers. Haunted by past trauma, Jiang Li decided to finish the task before opening the crates.
This three-wheeled electric motorcycle had a top speed of 30 km/h. In less than an hour, Jiang Li completed the driving task and even picked up another wooden crate along the way.
She parked at the edge of a shaded area, picked up the spatula, and pried open the wooden crates one by one.
Lucky for her, there were no monsters inside.
“Congratulations! You’ve obtained Iron ×2, Wood ×2, Solar Charger ×1, Mineral Water ×1, and Compressed Biscuit ×1.”
A charger actually came out of a wooden crate. In her last life, Jiang Li would not have dared to dream of that. Having broken free of her Unlucky Physique, she felt incredibly powerful.
Jiang Li immediately opened the Sector 222 chat channel. Population: 10,000/10,000.
She posted in the trading channel: “1 bottle of mineral water + salt (50 g) for 1 battery.”
She had 8 bottles of mineral water, and she posted 6 listings. Batteries were crucial to her in the early game.
“Holy crap, someone listed water on the trading channel!”
“That’s way too ruthless. They want someone’s battery for just 1 bottle of mineral water.”
“Hey, salt is precious! In the early game, who but the luckiest can get salt from a crate?”
“Brother Taibai, I don’t have a battery. Can I send a photo instead? I can be sweet too.”
“Please, brother, take me under your wing. This little bro can do anything.”
“Hahaha, I have plenty of batteries, and I don’t even drive an electric vehicle. I might consider trading one out…”
“To each their own. Say whatever you want, but don’t randomly attack others!”
“Just because you think it is not worth it does not mean others do not!”
…
Private messages kept dinging. Seeing the meaningless chatter in the chat channel, Jiang Li simply set it to Do Not Disturb.
She checked the remaining battery power… 80%… and continued driving.
Survival Game: Day 1
Weather: Sunny
Temperature: 26°C
Jiang Li drove along the road, which was about 3.5 meters wide, facing the breeze and sensing her physical condition.
Frail yet healthy, she felt utterly at ease inside.
“La la la, la la la, I’m a happy little expert, and I’m not afraid of anything…”
Suddenly, Jiang Li spotted a crate by the roadside and quickly pulled over.
By now, her driving skills were already quite polished. As long as she did not drive into a ditch, everything would be fine.
Level 2 iron crate.
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up.
With the spatula in her right hand and the small cooking pot in her left, she could still block her face if needed.
After making full preparations, Jiang Li pried open the lid.
Huh? Out popped a little cockroach. Seeing Jiang Li poised and ready, it decisively scurried toward the woods.
“Congratulations! You’ve obtained Iron ×2, Plastic ×2, Wood ×10, Mineral Water ×2, and Large Steamed Bun ×1.”
Jiang Li placed the supplies in the cargo bed. Great… more reserves.
A game notification came through: the mineral water had sold out completely.
Jiang Li quickly put away the 6 batteries, took out the solar charger, and placed it right in the middle of the cargo bed so the supplies would not block it.
The charger had 4 slots and could hold 4 batteries at a time.
The motorcycle needed 3 at once, which meant she had 2 spare sets.
Back in the driver’s seat, she silently called up the panel in her mind.
A light screen popped up, showing the time as 3:00 PM. Jiang Li remembered it would get dark at 6:00 PM.
Opportunity always favors the prepared. Jiang Li kept moving at a steady speed.
A turn… an intersection?
Jiang Li immediately slowed down and drove straight through cautiously.
In her last life, she had seen no one and rushed straight through, losing 2 points. After paying the fine in supplies, she had become so poor that she missed the chance to enter a station.
After safely passing the intersection, Jiang Li thought for a moment, opened the chat channel, and sent a message.
