Alien Survival: Start with a Golden Apple Enchantment

In the Gobi Desert, where yellow sand swirls everywhere, the sky is barely bright, and as far as the eye can see, there is only an endless expanse of gray and yellow.

The howling wind did not blow away the sand and dust in the air; instead, it blew the exposed loess into the air, making the dust haze worse.

Facing the wind and sand, Qin Yi squinted slightly, struggled to climb up a small earthen mound, and rested for a while.

"How did I suddenly find myself transported to another world?"

He grabbed a handful of yellow soil, looked at the incredibly realistic environment before him, and sighed.

Just minutes ago, he was playing a pay-to-win mobile game at home.

"It's just three gold items in a ten-pull, why send me to another world?"

Qin Yi shook his head.

Everyone says luck is conserved, and he didn't believe it at first, but now look what happened—the card was drawn in the morning, and the person left in the afternoon.

Just as Qin Yi closed his eyes to rest, a huge sign appeared in his dark vision: Welcome to the Alien Survival Game!

The game is described below:

1. Death is the end. Without special items or circumstances, no player has the opportunity to respawn.

2. This game sampled 50% of all normal adults on Earth, and the current number of survivors is one billion.

3. This game features a data panel, resource boxes, and a trading chat platform; players are encouraged to explore these features on their own.

4. All players start with the same items and spawn map (desert/Gobi): a tattered air purifier mask, 1 cubic meter of storage space, two panels, and a 600ml bottle of purified water.

5. The planet in this game is Yuheng Star, which is similar in size to Earth, but closer to its star, so the temperature in the morning will be extremely high.

Friendly reminder: There are still 3 hours until sunrise. If you haven't found shelter yet, we suggest sprinkling some cumin on top; it will enhance the flavor.

After reading the game introduction, Qin Yi paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips and his eyes sparkled.

"A survival game? Interesting."

As an extreme sports enthusiast and a daredevil on Earth, fear is a rare concept in Qin Yi's mind.

Right now, he only feels excited.

"A chat-based trading platform?"

With a slight thought, Qin Yi conjured a blue light screen in front of him, on which countless scrolling bullet comments were displayed.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

"How come I fell asleep and woke up to find myself in the ground?"

"Brothers, have we entered Sword Art Online? Asuna, wait for me!"

"Where's my phone? Survival games and all that, I don't care, just give me back my phone! How am I supposed to live without it?!"

"..."

Seeing the other players in a panic, Qin Yi chuckled, took off his tattered mask, shook it to clean off the yellow dirt, and then put it back on properly.

Instead of joining the boring chat, he swiped the screen and found the "Trade" interface.

However, everyone is currently broke and has almost nothing to trade, so the platform is empty and has nothing.

Qin Yi turned off the light screen and tested the void storage space again.

After taking the food out and putting it back three or four times, Qin Yi roughly figured out how to use the void storage space.

"It's very user-friendly; it's all controlled by thought. It's excellent."

Nodding in satisfaction, Qin Yi took one last look at his data panel.

[Player: Qin Yi]

[Rank: First Rank, Third Stage]

【Strength: 6】

[Agility: 7]

[Physique: 6]

【Intelligence: 7】

Gold Coins: 0

[Skills and Abilities: None]

[Note: The average for a typical adult is 5]

"It seems the exercise is effective."

As a player who dares to risk his life, Qin Yi's stats are significantly higher than those of ordinary people.

He closed his data panel, cautiously poked his head out from the edge of the small mound, and was subsequently covered in sand.

The sandstorm outside is too strong and the visibility is very low. Going out like this would probably not be pleasant.

However, if Qin Yi stayed where he was and waited until the sun was fully up, he would be at least 70% cooked.

He scratched his head, his gaze gradually settling on the sand beneath his feet.

"Or should I dig a hole and bury myself?"

In many survival games he has played, there are quite a few instances in the early stages where he digs a hole and buries himself to survive.

For example, Minecraft.

"However... this is not a game world that could drive Newton crazy."

"If I don't dig a big enough hole, the sand on both sides will just rush in and bury me alive."

Qin Yi abandoned the idea; he didn't have much food to begin with and couldn't afford to waste it.

"Let's go for it."

Although Qin Yi liked to court death, he didn't like to die, and he certainly didn't want to be burned to death.

He stared at the raging wind that showed no signs of abating, gritted his teeth, and went outside anyway.

wow——

Gusts of wind, carrying gravel and sand, lashed at Qin Yi's face, making it difficult for him to move.

Fortunately, his superhuman physique came in handy at this moment. Qin Yi hunched over, trying to keep a low profile, and moved forward slowly.

Due to the extremely low visibility, it is difficult for the average person to walk in a straight line under such conditions. They can easily become disoriented and spin around in circles.

However, Qin Yi was different; after all, he had relatively rich survival experience.

He deliberately made each step heavy, so that half of his foot sank into the sand, leaving footprints that were difficult to erase.

By looking back every five steps, you can confirm whether you are walking in a straight line.

These five steps represent the visibility limit that Qin Yi had measured.

After walking for an hour, Qin Yi could feel the wind gradually weakening, the sky becoming brighter, and the visibility increasing.

"what is that?"

Qin Yi saw an object not far away and paused for a moment.

"The cube...it looks like a box."

Qin Yi walked quickly to a sand dune, where a wooden box was placed prominently at the top.

The box wasn't big; it was about the size of a regular backpack.

Wooden resource box

[System message: Every legendary survival master begins with an ordinary wooden treasure chest. Keep it up, young man!]

Looking at the pop-up description, Qin Yi realized that he had encountered his first [Resource Box].

The box wasn't locked, and Qin Yi opened it easily.

[Ding! The player has successfully obtained the resources.]

The best iron sword in the whole village*1

[Standard safety goggles] *1

Goggles and weapons?

Qin Yi was overjoyed.

As things stand, both of these are exactly what he needs.

He put on his goggles, examined the longsword in his hand, and his lips twitched slightly.

The best iron sword in the whole village

[Rank: 0]

[System message: You need to be constantly vigilant, because this sword may suddenly snap at any moment.]

"Never mind... I really shouldn't have thought that wooden treasure chests could yield anything good in the first place."

Qin Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly and was about to turn and leave when a voice, different from the one in the game system, suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Game data extraction system activated]

[Currently available draw opportunity: 1]

[Currently allowed item or skill capacity: 3]

【Should we draw immediately?】

"A cheat code?!"

Qin Yi's pupils contracted sharply. After reading so many novels over the years, the moment he heard that voice, he immediately realized that his cheat code had been successfully upgraded!

"This ability is rather strange."

Qin Yi frowned in confusion, then decided to give it a try.

Since it's free anyway, trying it won't get me pregnant.

He clicked on the "Yes" button in front of him, and with a flash of golden light, system notifications sounded again.

The draw has begun.

[Game to be drawn: Minecraft]

【...】

【Extraction completed! 】

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained one Enchanted Golden Apple!]

"Holy crap, an enchanted golden apple?!"

Qin Yi looked overjoyed at the apple that had suddenly appeared in his left hand.

This apple is unlike any other red apple; it is entirely golden and shimmers with a captivating light.

[Enchanted Golden Apple]

[Rank: 10th Rank (Law Level)]

[Unique Effect, Invincibility: Consuming an enchanted golden apple grants ten minutes of invincibility, ignoring all negative status effects, damage, and pain.]
