Shocked, I'm the Favorites in the Survival Game - chapter 15

Rank 50 gets 50 Points, while hers is 100 Points, so the rewards increase the higher you rank?

Chu Yian gave up on showing herself and continued to scroll through other messages, trying to glean more information from everyone’s complaints in the chat.

More and more people in the forum were waking up. Whether in the [Nearby] or [World] channels, messages were multiplying rapidly. Many had cleared the game, but compared to the total of six billion, it was still a tiny fraction.

Chu Yian also saw more and more people who had cleared the game posting their results, with the minimum Points reward being 5, and the maximum 200.

Most people’s starting situations were wildly different, some good, some bad.

The best case was someone whose safe zone was extremely close. They got on a bus, and when the zombie outbreak happened, it was like a scene from Train to Busan. He didn’t do anything, just fastened his seatbelt and followed the NPC driver, who drifted along the highway with amazing skills, and he was carried to safety in a daze.

He entered the safe zone in eight hours, ranking 119th in escape.

As for the unlucky ones, some opened their eyes in a hospital and, before they could react, were bitten by the zombie patient next to them; some weren’t killed by zombies but were run over by cars; others were sent to places extremely far from the safe zone, fought their way through hordes of zombies, but because they chose the wrong means of transportation, didn’t make it even after five days.

[World
Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]: I really didn’t expect the safe zone to be so far away. When I saw a plane fly overhead, my mind went completely blank. I couldn’t even swing my weapon at the zombies!

There were always one or two quirky replies, giving those uncertain about the future a bit of comic relief amid the tension and confusion.

But just then, the mechanical voice from who knows where sounded again.

[Newbie Game: Road to Survival has ended]

[Total number of players participating in the Newbie Game:

[Total number of players who cleared the Newbie Game:

Six billion people, and only 480,000 cleared it-a probability less than one in ten thousand.

[Congratulations to the players who cleared the game. The 1st place player receives 1000 Points.]

[Players ranked 2nd to 10th receive 500 Points]

[Players ranked 11th to 100th receive 200 Points]

[Players ranked 101st to
Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474 receive 100 Points]

[Players ranked
Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474 to
Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474 receive 50 Points]

[Other players who cleared the game receive 5 Points.]

[Please note!! This rule will be carried over to later stages of the game.]

The first place only gets a thousand.

What a stingy game.

Chu Yian’s first reaction was actually this.

[The next round of the game will take place two days later at 14:00. All players, please prepare.]

The day after tomorrow, there will be another game. Seeing this message, the forum was filled with wails.

On the first day back in the real world, those who hadn’t eaten a Food Package saw their Satiety drop to 80%, and their Cleanliness also dropped to 80%. Everyone realized that Satiety and Cleanliness decrease by 10% each day. When they drop to 20%, there are only six days left.

[Nearby
Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]: Will Satiety and Cleanliness really kill people? Can eating or being hygienic affect the decrease of Satiety and Cleanliness?

[Nearby

[Upstairs

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: I tried what you suggested, but it didn’t work. I ate two big buckets of instant noodles, but my Satiety is still only at 80%.

[Nearby

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: So basically, if you don’t earn Points, you’ll die. Isn’t there a pro in our district who cleared the game? Did they eat the Food Package sold in the Points Mall?

[Nearby

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: Not yet. The item description says you’re only in danger if Satiety and Cleanliness drop below 20%, so I’m waiting until both drop to 30% before using the Food Package and Cleaning Package. That way, it’s more cost-effective.

Chu Yian couldn’t help but nod at this.

That’s so true. Yesterday, she wasted two Points out of curiosity, and now she feels so regretful.

On the second day, most people’s Satiety and Cleanliness dropped to seventy percent, while Chu Yian’s were at eighty percent.

On the morning of the third day, the game hadn’t started yet.

Most people’s Satiety and Cleanliness dropped to sixty percent, Chu Yian’s to seventy percent.

There were already many posts on the forum saying that with Satiety at sixty percent, they were starting to feel a faint sense of hunger.

[World

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: This is scary. Normally, one piece of bread fills me up, but today I ate three and it did nothing.

[World

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: You start feeling hungry at seventy percent Satiety. If it drops lower, will we end up gnawing on tree bark?

……

[World

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: I’m not afraid of hunger, but being dirty is unbearable. I feel like my whole body smells.

……

[World

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: That guy above is so dramatic. I really envy those who cleared the newbie game-they don’t have to worry about any of this now. If only I’d had the guts to run out and escape to the safe zone.

[World

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: It feels like there’s a sharp knife hanging over my head.

[World

[Rongge Novel Resource Group 229036474]

]: So we have to work hard to earn Points, or we’ll really starve to death.

……

Chu Yian watched their discussion, occasionally standing up to move around, warm up, and get ready for the next game.

At 2 p.m.

The game broadcast sounded right on time.

[Newbie Game: Deadly Infection]

##

The game began.

This time, Chu Yian was standing in a spacious airport. She was carrying a backpack, dressed as if she were about to go on a trip.

Inside the bag were three essentials: her ID card, phone, and two thousand in cash.

The terminal at Da’an Airport was bustling with people coming and going.

Chu Yian looked around at her surroundings, recalling the game’s theme-an infectious disease.

Crowded places probably weren’t safe during an outbreak, so she slung her backpack over her shoulder and ran out of the terminal toward the main hall. She quickly caught a taxi heading into the city, determined to get downtown first.

“Miss, where in the city are you headed?”

The driver asked as he drove. The city was huge, and he could drive her around as much as she wanted, as long as she didn’t mind the fare.
