[The Highway Survival Game is descending, 10%, 20%, 30%... 100%]
[Player has logged in]
At this moment, Jiang Yi, who was filming a vlog titled "Humanities Graduate Survives on 300 Yuan a Month," trembled as he accidentally scooped out a large chunk of the dragon fruit he bought for 0.5 yuan at the market. The ripe, deep red piece fell onto the glass table in his dorm room, about to slide off!
After a three-second pause, Jiang Yi decisively bent down—
Opened his mouth;
Caught it with a grimace!
...
The game's broadcast voice paused eerily before continuing in Jiang Yi's mind.
[Welcome to the Highway Survival Game. Please listen carefully to the following game instructions and corresponding rules:]
[1. Based on principles of involuntariness, inequality, and opacity, this game regrets the arrival of each player. Participants must meet the following basic conditions: ① Age between 12-55; ② Basic judgment and awareness abilities; ③ A basic desire to survive. Normally, only one player exists per highway; there is a chance to trigger a parallel highway, which lasts no more than half an hour.]
Jiang Yi raised his "blood-red" lower face, bewildered, what the heck?
[2. In the initial game interface, each player is provided with three selectable initial vehicles, along with initial power. Players can choose only one as their tool for the Highway Survival Game. Note that this choice will have a profound impact on the player's survival ability and development path, so choose wisely.]
[3. No reverse driving on the highway.]
[4. Game time is: [Day] - 6 AM to 10 PM; [Night] - 10 PM to 6 AM the next day.]
[5. During [Day], players move forward; during [Night], anomalies descend, and players must not move! Within a 10-meter radius of the vehicle is a Safe Zone, outside of which, players are on their own.]
[6. At [Night], fog begins to chase and gradually erode the highway. In the initial scene, the fog erosion speed is 5 km/h. Being swallowed by the fog results in death.]
[7. The sides of the highway have been eroded, with a chance for Treasure Chests to refresh at the edges, containing supplies and other items. Players can choose whether to pick them up.]
[8. The game uses a data recording method, generating a unique data panel based on the player's genes and cell state. Players can unlock the panel and corresponding tools by calling out in their consciousness.]
[9. The game discourages fatigue driving. If a player's Fatigue exceeds 90, their "Driver's License" will be confiscated. To unlock it again, certain conditions must be met. Without a "Driver's License," driving is prohibited.]
[The above rules have been read. If you have any questions—]
The mysterious voice elongated, its tone suddenly turning cold:
[Then just die!!! [○･｀Д´･ ○]]
[The game favors the strong and the wise, not fools!!!]
...
After the voice broadcast ended, as Jiang Yi was looking down at his OPPO A6 to check if he had accidentally opened TikJoy or something, wondering why such a voice was coming out.
A dazzling white light appeared in the air, and something tied with a thin leather string and paper suddenly fell, landing perfectly around Jiang Yi's neck.
Jiang Yi reached out to see, and a few large characters caught his eye:
[Driver's License]
[Player: Jiang Yi]
...
"Damn, is this for real?"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but curse.
His mind racing, Jiang Yi crouched down, and just as his left hand touched a box of bottled water under the dorm table, he was engulfed entirely by the blinding white light!
...
The sun adorned the blue sky, a gentle breeze brushing the hem of Jiang Yi's pink 8.9 yuan Hello Kitty apron bought with free shipping. Holding his dorm's electric frying pan in his right hand, a box of Farmwife Spring water at his left foot, and a dragon fruit in his mouth, he stood bewildered.
At this moment, he was at the edge of a wide highway, with white mist on both sides, vaguely revealing city outlines.
Jiang Yi blinked.
A tumbleweed rolled across the highway, silence prevailing.
After two seconds, Jiang Yi blinked again, pinching his thigh—
It hurt like hell.
"?"
Wasn't this a dream?
Jiang Yi took the dragon fruit out of his mouth, spun around in place, repeatedly confirming, and finally reached a clear conclusion:
He had really entered the Highway Survival Game mentioned by that mysterious voice!
After a moment of chaos, Jiang Yi suddenly laughed, a hint of indescribable madness in his laughter:
"Is it this cruel for humanities majors?"
—The real world was already a struggle for survival, and now in the game world too?!
Is there no justice, no law?!
...
After speaking, Jiang Yi took a deep breath to regain his composure.
Forget it, what's done is done, better see what this is all about first.
Jiang Yi placed the dragon fruit back into his electric pot—
Although he wasn't sure what exactly was going on, if he really was in a survival game as the voice said, then it was obvious that food and water would be scarce resources in the coming period, and he needed to prepare.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but silently praise his own quick thinking, thankful he instinctively grabbed that box of water when he came in.
Recalling the memory, Jiang Yi imagined in his mind, uh, what was it just now, something panel...
As soon as he thought of it, a white Light Screen instantly unfolded in front of Jiang Yi:
[Player: Jiang Yi

After seeing his pathetic panel and the system's merciless evaluation, Jiang Yi's mouth twitched.
Besides his panel, Jiang Yi also noticed a line of text at the top of the panel:
[This area is Dragon Nation Region 189, Zone 999, with 100,000 people currently online]
And at the bottom left of the panel was the Chat Channel: World Chat, Regional Chat, Private Chat.
However, the chat channels were currently gray, evidently not yet open.
After checking, Jiang Yi lingered on the player nickname section, thought for a moment, and entered his TikJoy nickname:
[Melancholy Little Fries]
After entering, Jiang Yi saw his nickname on the panel had changed to Little Fries.
Next, it was time to choose a vehicle!
