"Yeah, what am I waiting for? Hurry up and sign up. If chosen, I'll earn 100,000." Saying this, Xu Yi was about to take his phone to register.
Then, he saw a charred phone emitting white smoke.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then heard a voice from the TV.
"This registration will be conducted in pairs. The registration period is 5 days, after which the list of 500 challenger groups will be publicly available on the website. This challenge will be live-streamed throughout on the official website. Lastly, a warning: there is a 40% mortality rate for this task, so please register with caution. Those selected must participate, or they will face life imprisonment."
Then, the website address appeared on the screen.
Xu Yi looked at the TV screen, and he wasn't feeling well.
"No way, can I sleep for two years straight?" Xu Yi rubbed his temples.
"Could it be that I've traveled to another world?" Xu Yi said excitedly, then prepared to go outside to confirm.
Just as he opened the door, Xu Yi saw a short-haired guy in a white T-shirt, so handsome that Xu Yi felt the urge to take a photo and ask for an autograph. He was carrying two plastic bags, his face extremely pale, the kind of pale due to illness.
"Xu Yi, take a look at the wilderness survival books I bought. Do they look right? We only have 4 days, so we must hurry and read more to learn a bit more. That's how we might have a chance to complete the challenge." The delicate-featured young man handed the bags to Xu Yi with a bright smile.
"Who are you, do we know each other?"
Xu Yi's eyes widened as he looked at the other person.
Suddenly, Xu Yi felt a stab in his brain, the pain almost making his head explode on the spot.
"System loading complete, memory import finished."
"Ding! Welcome Gift has been issued!"
"Ding! The Check-in function is now activated!"
"Ding, the Answer function has been activated, and will answer three questions for the host. Once completed, the Answer function will close."
Xu Yi was stunned, not expecting that besides experiencing a time travel, he would also gain a Golden Finger—a system.
This means, doesn't this make me the protagonist of fate?
So, he quickly asked in his mind: What system are you?
After all, this system hadn't introduced itself.
"Survival System."
That answer was quite brief.
"So what functions do you have?"
"This system has a Check-in function. As long as the host is not dead, you can check in. After consecutive check-ins, you can receive the following gift packages:
Every 7-day check-in earns one Basic Gift Package. (Total of 36)
Every month-long check-in earns one Intermediate Gift Package. (Total of 36)
Every year-long check-in earns one Advanced Gift Package.
Every decade-long check-in earns one Supreme Gift Package.
Every century-long check-in earns one Divine-level Gift Package.
Every millennium-long check-in earns one Transcendent Gift Package.
Wow, this Survival System can actually let someone live for a thousand years?
Impressive, very impressive!
For the last question, Xu Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "How do I use the gift package I've received?"
After all, Xu Yi just heard that he had received a Welcome Gift, but clearly, he hadn't seen anything.
"Just give a direct command to the system. So the answers are complete, the Answer function is closed."
Damn, I wasted the last question!
"Xu Yi, are you okay? Do you need Dr. Su to come over?" A concerned voice pulled Xu Yi back to reality.
"No, no need, I'm fine." Xu Yi held the girl's hand and stood up, indicating that he was okay.
Since the memory integration, Xu Yi already knew who this young man was.
Sheesh, she's no young man at all.
She's Lu Ke, just turned 18, a patient with terminal brain cancer, living in the same hospital room with Xu Yi.
This is the hospital ward.
However, Xu Yi doesn't have brain cancer. He's staying here because a month ago, he was hit by Lu Ke's attending physician, Su Yan, and was placed here to recuperate. He's almost ready to leave.
The survival program started its promotion on TV at 7 a.m. yesterday.
Lu Ke invited Xu Yi to sign up as a team with her. How could Xu Yi refuse this pitiful little girl, so they signed up as a team.
That's why she went out to buy these wilderness survival books.
But Lu Ke doesn't know that the Xu Yi before her has changed souls.
The current Xu Yi comes from Earth, and is a seasoned homebody and an online novel writer.
And Lu Ke?
Besides being a terminally ill patient, she's a handicraft expert, essentially a homegirl.
A duo of homebodies going to do wilderness survival, it sounds unreliable!
Xu Yi looked at Lu Ke. From her appearance, she doesn't look 18 at all, more like she's 15 or 16.
So Xu Yi asked, "Lu Ke, will you regret it?"
"What's there to regret? I have only 3 months to live. It would be so lucky to be chosen to participate in the show." Lu Ke sweetly smiled, but couldn't hide the discontent and fear.
Death and the unknown are the two things humans fear most.
"Let's hope we're lucky enough to be chosen." Lu Ke grinned, then pulled out a book from the bag and lay on the bed to read.
Xu Yi didn't read the book. Instead, he picked up the tablet by Lu Ke's bedside, intending to visit the official website and see if he had missed any information.
As for the Welcome Gift from the system, he planned to check it when the night was deep and quiet. If there was too big a commotion, it wouldn't be easy to be discovered.
Upon entering the website, there was a prominent line: Number of registrants 65,478,018
In just half a day, 60 million people have registered?
Getting selected seems harder than winning the lottery jackpot, right?
Xu Yi rubbed his nose, mocking himself in his heart: I'm literally immune to winning, I can't even win 5 bucks after buying lottery tickets for a year. It's the same with various platforms' draws. If I actually got selected, it must be the system cheating!
Xu Yi roamed the official website and didn't find any content, not even any rules displayed.
Apart from the registration entry, it was just the increasingly large number of registrants.
Such a clean official website, it can't be a good thing!
Wasn't it said that the official website would live-stream the event? Why doesn't it look like a live-streaming site at all?
Xu Yi felt that this wilderness survival show wasn't so simple.
There might be some hidden secrets!
