"Whoosh... whoosh..."
The waves lapped at his pant legs, and the scorching sunlight shone down, turning Lu Zhe's eyelids a blood red color!
He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight. As his eyes slowly adjusted to the brightness, he struggled to sit up!
In the distance was the blue sky, white clouds, and the endless ocean!
Looking back, not far behind him was a lush, primitive jungle!
The sand of the beach had been baked scorching hot. He struggled to get up and staggered over to take shelter under the shade of a broad-leaved plant.
At last it was a little cooler.
"Why am I here?"
He closed his eyes and thought hard for a moment, vaguely recalling something!
That's right, shouldn't I be on an airplane right now, going with the Longcheng Middle School liberal arts class student representative to Australia to attend a one-week graduation academic summer camp?
Why...
Flashing through his mind were the last images before he lost consciousness!
The plane hit turbulence, rapidly descending, violently rocking, then colliding with something!
Then a large hole opened up right in front of his seat. Scraps of paper swirled around the interior of the cabin as many things were sucked out by the tremendous negative pressure, and even now, the howling wind and passengers' screams still echoed in his ears!
A plane crash!
He had been in a plane crash, and then washed up on a deserted island!
A stroke of good luck in this misfortune!
At least he hadn't died yet!
He didn't know what had happened to his other classmates.
Thinking of this, he let out a self-deprecating laugh.
When he was barely clinging to life himself, how could he spare a thought for others?!
It was at this moment that he heard a "ding" in his mind: "Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Deserted Island Survival System!
At the initial stage, the system will provide optimal solutions based on the current situation!
After gaining a certain survival aptitude, every time the host obtains a type of fresh water, protein, carbohydrate, makes a tool, daily necessity, etc., you will be rewarded with potential points!"
A system...
With the system's company, Lu Zhe felt he wasn't so alone!
How does one use it?
Still not familiar with it!
He licked his parched, cracked lips, feeling extremely thirsty!
Where could he find a coconut or something?
He looked all around, sighing disappointedly!
There wasn't even a coconut tree nearby, let alone coconuts!
Besides, even if there were coconuts, he didn't currently have the strength to open them.
In despair, he heard another "ding" in his mind: "New quest: There will be some drifted water bottles on the beach, find the residual fresh water left in them!
Reward: +1 Potential Point!"
Water bottles?
Bottles that drift onto deserted islands generally come from places inhabited by humans. If there are empty bottles, it's natural that there may also be half-finished bottles people threw away unfinished. If he got lucky and found a half-full bottle that wasn't fully drunk, wouldn't he then have water to drink?
But with the midday sun blazing, it would take a lot of courage to walk back onto the beach.
If he didn't go, he would die of thirst right here!
He gritted his teeth and tore off a tree leaf to shield his head, then set off in the direction indicated by the system!
In just over 100 meters, he felt as if he had run a marathon. This one trip took a full five minutes!
Sure enough, behind some rocks he found several beached bottles.
They were all unknown foreign brands!
He picked them up one by one and shook them. Two bottles actually had water left inside!
One mineral water bottle had over half a bottle of clear water. Unable to restrain himself, he hurriedly twisted the cap open, but stopped when he was about to drink it. Cautiously, he first licked it with the tip of his tongue.
Blech!
Seawater!
Luckily he had tested it first!
If he had directly downed that whole gulp, wouldn't he have nearly died from the saltiness!
He sighed helplessly, and could only twist open the cap of the other mineral water bottle that had water. He sniffed it - no discernible odor.
His heart stirred.
Carefully, he took a tiny sip!
It was clear and even a little sweet!
Fresh water!
It really was freaking fresh water!
In that moment, he felt as if he had entered heaven!
There was still about 150 ml of fresh water left inside.
Not to mention 150 ml, even if it were 1500 ml right now, he felt like he could down it all in one gulp!
But the more critical things became, the more fiercely he had to tell himself - if he wanted to survive, he must restrain himself!
Carefully, he drank one third of the water.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, your body fluid percentage has been restored by 1%! You are rewarded with +1 Potential Point!"
Next, several flickering options popped up: Strength, Speed, Stamina...
Should he add points to one of these?
And right then, he discovered something lying belly-down on the beach not far away.
At first he was startled.
Then shielding the sunlight with one hand, he squinted, peering closely - it seemed to be a person.
Thinking it might be one of his familiar classmates, Lu Zhe felt a surge of distress in his heart.
He should go take a look - what if they were still alive!
He twisted the water bottle shut and stuffed it into his pocket, then walked over.
Getting closer, he saw khaki cargo pants, a plaid dress, black over-the-knee socks, brown little leather shoes!
This jk outfit looked a bit familiar!
Then he noticed the pretty brunette princess curls on her head, still topped with a crystal kitty cat hair clip!
His heart plummeted to the pit of his stomach!
Lin Qianqian!
It was actually his classmate, the student council president Lin Qianqian!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
