Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - chapter 2

Again, and again, and again…

Each blow, each blossoming of blood, was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, sending ever darker ripples of madness across her eyes.

This was not an outpouring of anger, but pure, unadulterated obsession with the crimson spectacle.

Ruan Tian could no longer remember how many years it had been since she last enjoyed the warmth of fresh blood.

This feeling was truly wonderful-exquisitely so.

It wasn’t until the final strike, when the Wild Monster collapsed to the ground, that Ruan Tian regretfully rose from its body.

[Congratulations, player Lin Zhiqing, for killing a level 5 Wild Monster, dealing 100% damage.]

[Obtained edible Wild Boar Meat*1, double nighttime experience 1000]

Ruan Tian listened to the system’s broadcast, frowning almost imperceptibly.

“The name is wrong.”

The system was silent for a moment: [The body is Lin Zhiqing’s, and the system information is also Lin Zhiqing’s.]

“Change it.”

[Can’t change it.]

Ruan Tian tilted her head. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, casting flickering spots of light on her bloodstained face.

A streak of blood slid from her cheekbone to her jaw, which she gently scraped with her fingertip, leaving an even deeper red mark.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, her smile not reaching her eyes, making the darkness in her pupils even deeper and heavier.

Her voice was as light as a sigh, yet carried a chilling stickiness. “001, this is not a negotiation.”

After hearing her words, System 001 felt a chill run down its spine, as if something terrifying was watching it, and if it wasn’t careful, it would end up just like the Wild Monster.

And yet, it was just a string of data.

[001: Changing the name requires a Name Change Card. You don’t have a Name Change Card right now, so it can’t be changed.]

Ruan Tian looked up…

The system felt a jolt and quickly added: [A Name Change Card can be purchased with gold coins in the System Shop, but it’s expensive and you don’t have enough coins.]

[It can also be obtained from Wild Monster loot chests, with a chance to find a Name Change Card.]

[Or you could try your luck at the Trading Market in the Main City.]

Ruan Tian smiled, the bloodstained corner of her mouth lifting slightly: “So, in short, it can’t be changed right now, can it?”

[Once you get a Name Change Card, you can change it.]

The system finally breathed a sigh of relief…

Ruan Tian picked up the stone she had just used and gestured at her temple, muttering to herself, “Is it here?”

001: [……]

|ʘᗝʘ|

What is she going to do?

001 had a bad feeling.

The next second, without blinking, Ruan Tian took the stone and began smashing it against her own temple. Fresh blood started streaming down her cheek, the red at the corner of her eye seeming soaked in blood.

System 001 let out a sharp, piercing scream as she moved.

Ruan Tian raised her eyebrow slightly. So it was here.

She let out a low laugh, tinged with an indescribable madness.

“Can it be changed now?”

[You… you lunatic, pervert, aren’t you afraid of dying?]

Ruan Tian smashed again, showing with her actions that she was not afraid.

She asked again, “Can it be changed?”

The system’s mechanical screams turned into sharp, grating static, each syllable distorting and exploding.

Faced with Ruan Tian’s question, it still refused to give in.

Ruan Tian smashed again, “Can it?”

Finally, after the fourth and fifth blows, the system relented.

[It can be changed, it can be changed.]

Ruan Tian elegantly wiped the spot she had just struck. The temple, which had been a mess of blood and flesh a moment ago, had now returned to normal, with only some fresh bloodstains lingering around, silently telling of what had just happened.

“If you’d listened earlier, it would’ve been easier.”

Now, the system didn’t dare speak to her. After this incident, it realized that Ruan Tian was a lunatic-a truly terrifying one.

Creatures of the Void really were monsters.

The system began to feel fear and wanted to retreat.

Its attitude toward Ruan Tian was no longer casual, but tinged with terror and awe.
[Host, I’ve already helped you put the charge on the shop’s tab. The Name Change Card has been sent to your email-please check it.]

After a pause, 001 continued: [Host, the Name Change Card costs 2,000 gold coins. Your balance is 20 coins, which have been deducted. You now owe the shop 1,980 coins. Remember to pay it off within three months, or the consequences will be severe.]

Ruan Tian claimed the Name Change Card and immediately changed Lin Zhiqing’s name to her own.

Seeing the words ‘Ruan Tian’ displayed on the character info sheet, Ruan Tian nodded in satisfaction.

As for the system’s words, Ruan Tian replied indifferently, “Why does it even cost coins?”

The system didn’t dare make a sound and pretended to be dead.

Fortunately, Ruan Tian didn’t dwell on it. After storing the Wild Boar Meat in her backpack, she began searching for new Wild Monsters.

Suddenly, Ruan Tian spoke again: “Is Lin Zhiqing really this poor?”

001: [……]

Ruan Tian kept muttering to herself, “Well, it makes sense. The backpack’s bare-there isn’t even a change of clothes. To still have 20 coins, she really had it tough.”

001: [……]

Enough!!!

The system wanted to explode, wanted to shout, ‘If you’re so capable, go earn it yourself! All you do is talk, do you know how hard it is to earn those 20 coins?’

A monster from the Void, not understanding the hardships of the human world at all.

After what just happened, the system didn’t dare say it aloud-it only dared to think it.

But as it turned out, staying silent was the right choice.

Because all night, every Wild Monster Ruan Tian encountered met a brutal end.

Even a freshly spawned level 10 Wild Monster was pinned down and beaten like a toy by Ruan Tian.

It died a truly miserable death.

The system went from shock, to numbness, to finally becoming a merciless broadcast machine.

Ruan Tian’s character level smoothly reached level 10.

[Congratulations, player Ruan Tian has reached level 10. You may unlock a Weapon Card Slot. Would you like to unlock it?]

“Yes.”

Ruan Tian opened the character interface:

[Player: Ruan Tian (Former name: Lin Zhiqing) Note: After using the Name Change Card, the former name will remain for three months before disappearing]

[Gender: Female]

[Age: 20]

[Level: 10 (Can enter White Dungeon and Red Dungeon for exploration) Note: Every dungeon is dangerous. Please act within your abilities.]

[Experience: 100,500 (Needs 40,500 more to reach the next level)]

[Permanent Weapon: None]

[Weapon Card Slot 1: None]

[Backpack: Wild Boar Meat*20, Mutton*10, Beef*10, Snake Meat*50, Wool*10, White Treasure Chest*3.]

[Special Skills: 1. Self-Healing (What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger)]

[2. **** (Locked)]

Ruan Tian’s gaze lingered on the special skills section for a moment, then she waved it away, closing the character page.

The system also noticed the special skill, which hadn’t been there before.

So, this is why she dares to be so reckless, so fearless?

The system didn’t dare ask-after all, that kind of pain can’t be described in words.

Ruan Tian yawned, dragging her filthy body, and started heading out.

On the way, she couldn’t help but complain: “Worked all night and only gained three levels. Stingy game.”

System: [……]

Listen to that-does that even sound human?

How are those who can’t even level up once in a month supposed to live?

Not to mention, the higher the level, the more experience you need to level up.

Right now, in the entire [8888] region, there were originally 100,000 people. Even though many have died for various reasons in these three months, there are still over 70,000 left. Those above level 20 are few and far between. Less than a third are between level 10 and 20-most are below level 10.

And she actually said she ‘only’ gained three levels in one night.

Who is she trying to infuriate?!!!
