Chapter 1: Back to the Survival Game, Starting with an S+ Talent
Our female lead is determined to build a homeland with her family inside the game—getting rich and migrating to the stars. Every family member is battle-capable, no one is a burden.
Plants, animals, and entire ecosystems will be arranged one by one. No need to worry about sanitation—future living areas will come with one-click cleaning features.

A familiar beeping sound rang in her mind.
Wen Mingyue swiftly scanned the table full of delicious food, grabbed the largest meat bun closest to her, and bolted toward the bedroom.
In the blink of an eye, she dashed in, snatched her down jacket off the bed with lightning speed, then raced back out of the room, kicked off her slippers, performed a perfect low-ground slide to put on her sneakers, and disappeared on the spot.
No applause followed—only complete and utter silence filled the room.
The whole thing took less than 10 seconds.
Afterward, it felt as if the air in the Wen family’s living room had frozen.
Father Wen stared in the direction his daughter had vanished, gulped with difficulty, still holding his chopsticks upright in midair. The sweet and sour pork rib he had picked up had long fallen to the floor.
Under the table, the family’s little black dog, Facai, couldn’t resist the delicious temptation. Ignoring the disdainful glares of the four surrounding cats, he swallowed the rib in one gulp. The loud gulp broke the stunned silence in the room.
Even Grandpa Wen, who had seen a lot in his lifetime, cautiously nudged his wife and said, “Did you see that just now? Mingyue just whoosh disappeared.”
He pushed her with his elbow as he spoke.
But Grandma Wen remained frozen, speechless, still in shock.
Instead, their son and daughter-in-law were nodding frantically. Mother Wen even shoveled a big bite of rice into her mouth, muttering to herself.
“I must be seeing things. Yes, that’s it. Eat something—once I’m full, I’ll be fine.”
Finally, the youngest daughter of the Wen family slowly came back to her senses. She slapped the table and suddenly jumped up.
“What the hell?!”
Then she dashed back to her room, grabbed her phone, and started typing furiously.
At that moment, it was April 13, 2024, 9:00 AM, in Huaguo, Blue Star.
Across the globe, people were suddenly vanishing into thin air at almost the same time. Hotlines at national security agencies were ringing off the hook, and the internet was already in an uproar. Netizens all over Blue Star were frantically discussing the phenomenon.
Meanwhile—
[Survival Game loading complete]
A familiar mechanical voice suddenly rang out.
Wen Mingyue found herself inside a transparent, square-shaped space. In front of her was a massive light screen, where lines of text appeared clearly as a voice began to speak.
[Welcome, lucky ones, to the Survival Game]
[I am the Survival Game’s chief steward. You can call me Little Q]
[Now, let me explain the situation and rules of the Survival Game.]
[The Survival Game is a holographic survival challenge game developed by our K288 Interstellar Research Team.]
[It mainly includes: Ocean Survival, Highway Survival, Elevator Survival, Skyscraper Survival, Swamp & Lake Survival, and Sky Survival, among others.]
[This also marks the first time our interstellar team has chosen Blue Star as the public beta location for the game.]
[Those who clear all the levels will have the chance to immigrate to the stars.]
[Rule #1: This is a real world. Death in the game is real death. You only have one life—cherish it.]
[Rule #2: The first round of players must be between 18 and 45 years old. The elderly, children, pregnant women, and those who are medically unfit will remain in the original world. Caretakers will be assigned, and they are temporarily safe. No need to worry.]
[Rule #3: In this first round, each player will be assigned a personal AI assistant. These assistants are interstellar intern systems. Fine print: Don’t expect them to do much. Earning money and supporting your family is still up to you.]
[In the game world, supplies, strength, and luck are all essential.]
[We hope everyone works hard to clear all levels of the Survival Game. Little Q will always be by your side.]
[Additionally, to welcome all players, we’ve specially prepared an 8-hour warm-up round:]
[Deserted Island Warm-Up Match]
[To ensure a relatively fair start, all lethal weapons on players have been confiscated and will not be returned.]
[Random hunting tools have been placed in each player’s system backpack.]
[You now have 15 minutes to re-read and familiarize yourself with your personal panel.]
[After 15 minutes, all players will be randomly dropped onto a deserted island, where you will gather your initial supplies.]
[Please note: Dangerous monsters roam the island. However, as long as you avoid the central zone, you’ll be temporarily safe.]
[Many treasure chests are scattered around the island. Killing monsters on the island can earn you generous rewards.]
[Survive—and only then can you officially participate in the following stages of the Survival Game.]
[Enough talk—teaching a disciple starves the master.]
[Good luck to all players.]
The broadcast ended.
Wen Mingyue suppressed the excitement in her heart. While the chat channel buzzed with intense discussion, she carefully reread the entire game briefing and rules from start to finish, ensuring she didn’t miss a single detail.
Having been reborn, Wen Mingyue swore she would never allow the tragedies of her previous life to repeat. This time, she was determined to bring her entire family to her side.
To earn money and support them, she planned to expand her territory, build shelters, and hoard supplies in the first three months of the game—leading her family to clear every level together.
In her previous life, Wen Mingyue only made it to the third game world.
It wasn’t betrayal by a best friend.
It wasn’t a cheating boyfriend.
She died from starvation, locked in a dark room.
The only usable items were the ones in her backpack. She couldn’t send messages out, nor could she contact the system.
That’s why—given a second chance—hoarding supplies had been engraved into Wen Mingyue’s very bones.
Bringing her thoughts back, Wen Mingyue used her mind to open her personal control panel, and a glowing screen instantly appeared before her.
At the top of the interface were the following tabs:
Beginner’s Guide, Personal Info, Backpack, Trading, Upgrade & Build, Shop, Regional Chat, AI Assistant, and Feature Development Zone.
Only she and her authorized group members could view her personal panel.
Wen Mingyue didn’t bother to check the regional chat—those messages were always the same: either people cursing, or crying to go home.
Instead, she quickly tapped into her Personal Info and hid her location address, just in case she forgot later. This would also help her avoid being tracked by players with ill intentions.
Until she became powerful enough, Wen Mingyue planned to lay low and develop in stealth—a cautious and strategic approach wasn’t a bad idea at all.
Once done, she swiftly checked her personal information:
