The Pinker the Ride, the Deadlier the Driver

The first time the Highway Survival Game swallowed Qi Xu, she brought a keyboard. This time, she grabs a cooking pot, food, and a case of water. She remembers what comes next. Supply crates with monsters inside. Mandatory daily mileage. Darkness that kills anyone foolish enough to leave the road. And players who are far more dangerous than anything lurking beyond the headlights. After years of surviving alone, one impossible dungeon finally killed her. The Emerald Heart gave her a second chance—and sent her back to day one. Now Qi Xu knows which bargains to grab, which rules to exploit, and which smiling strangers deserve a blade instead of a handshake. Her new ride is an electric tricycle, upgraded with pink paint, lace, and a deeply embarrassing magic chant. Anyone who mistakes it for a sign of weakness is welcome to find out otherwise. But better supplies and sharper instincts cannot fix the mistake that cost her first life. Sooner or later, the game demands a team. Learning whom to trust may be harder than killing monsters. This time, she intends to claim the rankings, build a crew worth keeping, and see what waits at the end of the highway. Her ride can stay pink. Her enemies can stay out of the way. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Pinker the Ride, the Deadlier the Driver — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
