[Welcome to Gods’ Game: Raft Survival]
[Beginner Mission: The disaster of extreme heat—the Season of Crimson Fire—is approaching. Please upgrade your safehouse as soon as possible.]
He Ni, a complete landlubber, woke up to find herself drifting on a wooden raft.
All around her stretched endless seawater. Under the blazing sun, she started off by fishing up ten garbage bags in a row.
Just as despair began to creep in, a prompt appeared before her eyes:
[Because you excel at and enjoy collecting garbage, your hobby has been acknowledged by the Sea God. Congratulations, you have awakened the talent: Scavenger.]
[Scavenger: +5 initial backpack slots. When obtaining any equipment, +35% critical chance.]
***
‘One more brick today, one more plank tomorrow.’
With her scavenger talent, He Ni painstakingly pieced together a shabby little shack on the sea.
Meanwhile, a top player flaunted a luxury yacht.
“This ship still feels a bit small,” he said.
He Ni looked at her floating pile of junk and sighed.
The same player roasted a whole lamb to perfection.
“Tastes just average,” he muttered.
He Ni, holding her dry strips of smoked meat, could only stare and swallow hungrily.

Later, when the rankings were revealed, He Ni nearly fainted in shock.
How could someone like her—living such a miserable life—be sitting at the top of the Wealth, Power, and Survival Leaderboards?
And that so-called “top player” who seemed untouchable… secretly sent her a private message:
“Great God, please carry me, please spare me some resources.”
He Ni: “…?”
#Don’t be ridiculous, I’m just a garbage collector!
