"Warning!" (i write this with fully using ai so this is not real work please don't hate.)
A cold mechanical voice suddenly echoed inside the minds of billions of people across Earth.
At that moment, every person froze.
Cars crashed.
Airplanes lost control.
Workers stopped moving.
Students dropped their phones.
"What was that?"
Before anyone could react, a blinding white light engulfed the entire world.
...
When Lin Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a small wooden raft floating in the endless ocean.
The sky was blue.
The sea stretched endlessly in every direction.
No land.
No ships.
Nothing.
Only water.
"What the hell?"
Lin Chen looked around in shock.
The raft was barely three meters long and two meters wide. On it lay only a simple fishing net.
Suddenly, a translucent blue screen appeared before him.

All humans have been selected.

Game panal

Good luck.
Lin Chen's pupils shrank.
"All humanity?"
This wasn't a prank.
This wasn't a dream.
Before he could think further, countless messages began appearing.
Global Chat
[Player 293847]: What's going on?!
[Player 847261]: Help! My child is crying!
[Player 183728]: Is this some kind of experiment?
[Player 728362]: I was driving!
[Player 847192]: Government! Explain this
Messages flooded faster than anyone could read.
Billions of people were panicking.
Lin Chen opened the Regional Chat.
Region 4721
Players: 10,000
[Player 122]: Anyone see land?
[Player 567]: Nothing but water.
[Player 891]: I found a floating barrel!
[Player 193]: How do we use the fishing net?
Everyone was just as confused as he was.
Suddenly another notification appeared.
Beginner Mission
Catch your first treasure chest.
Reward: Random Starter Pack.
As soon as the mission appeared, Lin Chen looked into the distance.
Far away, something floated on the waves.
A wooden chest.
His heart sped up.
"That must be it."
He grabbed the fishing net and threw it toward the chest.
The chest was dozens of meters away.
The net landed far short.
"Damn."
The chest slowly drifted away.
Just as Lin Chen became anxiou
DING!
A golden light exploded before his eyes
Congratulations!
The 10,000× System has been activated!
Lin Chen froze.
"A system?"
Another screen appeared.
10,000× System
Any item obtained may receive a 10,000× enhancement.
Possible effects:
• Quantity ×10,000

Lin Chen's breathing became heavy.
Cheat.
This was definitely a cheat.
Before he could celebrate, another chest drifted nearby.
This time he carefully threw his net.
Splash!
The net wrapped around the chest.
He pulled with all his strength.
The chest slowly slid across the water.
A few moments later, it landed on the raft.
"Success!"
He immediately opened it.
The chest burst into white light.
You obtained:
• 1 Bottle of Water
• 2 Pieces of Bread
10,000× System Activated!
Lin Chen stared.
The items transformed instantly.
You obtained:
• 10,000 Bottles of Fresh Water
• 20,000 Pieces of Bread
"What?!"
Lin Chen nearly jumped.
The supplies appeared in a special inventory.
He quickly opened it.
Inventory:
Water: 10,000
Bread: 20,000
Storage Space: Unlimited
Unlimited storage too?
Lin Chen couldn't believe his luck.
Meanwhile, Regional Chat had become even more chaotic.
[Player 287]: I only got one bread!
[Player 728]: I got two waters!
[Player 931]: How are we supposed to survive on this?
[Player 672]: Food prices will explode!
[Player 154]: Anyone willing to trade?
Lin Chen smiled.
These people were worried about their next meal.
Meanwhile, he possessed enough food and water to survive for years.
The value of resources would only increase.
He could use them to become stronger.
Just then another announcement appeared.
World Announcement
The first storm will arrive in 72 hours.
Please prepare accordingly.
The chat exploded.
[Player 392]: We're dead!
[Player 876]: How are we supposed to survive that?
Lin Chen's expression became serious.
This game wasn't giving anyone time to adapt.
The weak would die quickly.
Fortunately, he had the 10,000× System.
While everyone struggled to survive, he had a chance to dominate.
He looked toward the endless ocean.
More floating objects could be seen in the distance.
Wood.
Barrels.
Treasure chests.
Resources.
Opportunities.
Power.
A determined smile appeared on his face.
"If this is a survival game..."
"Then I'll become its ruler."
Holding his fishing net, Lin Chen prepared for his next catch.
Far above the ocean, dark clouds slowly began gathering on the horizon.
The first challenge of humanity was approaching.
And the legend of the strongest survivor had just begun.
