ALL NOVEL Chapter 1: The World of RV Survival
Su Chen groggily opened his eyes and found himself lying in a narrow vehicle, covered with a blanket woven from cotton.
The vehicle wasn't large—more like a van. It only had two seats: a driver's seat and a front passenger seat. At the back was a bed made from straw, with a spittoon placed beside it.
Looking around, the cramped interior of the vehicle felt stifling. He opened the window to peer outside, but all he saw was pitch-black darkness stretching endlessly, accompanied by a winding road with no end in sight.
"God, this has to be a dream, right?"
Su Chen pinched his face, feeling a faint sting.
"Wasn't I just in my advanced math class? What's going on...?"
Could it be that I've transmigrated?
Su Chen tried to recall his past memories, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't remember how he ended up here.
"If I'd known this was going to happen, I would've paid more attention in class. Ugh..."
"Is this a punishment from the heavens?"
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt, and a sense of anger began to bubble up within him.
"What kind of crappy place is this? Is anyone there? Let me out!"
He slammed his fist against the car window, but the window didn't budge. His hand, however…
"Damn it, that hurts! My hand is going to swell up!" The vehicle was far sturdier than he had imagined.
The car was freezing cold. Aside from the cotton blanket, there was nothing to keep him warm. Su Chen's lips turned purple as the frigid night seeped through his jacket, leaving him shivering uncontrollably.
Reluctantly, he pulled the blanket over himself, finally feeling a sliver of warmth. Just as he was still pondering how he ended up in this strange place, a large screen projection suddenly appeared before him.

[Hello, and welcome to the World of RV Survival.
Prologue: All humans on Earth—excluding the elderly and children—have now been transported into the World of RV Survival. Forget everything from your past; it is now meaningless.
The sole objective in this world is simple: Survive.
This is a global survival competition designed to give you the ultimate experience. Everything here is real, and once you die, you are permanently eliminated with no chance of revival.
Cherish this opportunity and don't take it lightly, or it will bring you unimaginable trouble—hunger, injury, or even death.]
---
[In the World of RV Survival, your vehicle is your only home, your shelter, the foundation of your survival, and your sanctuary for daily life. You must cherish it.
You can cook, sleep, read, or do anything you like within your vehicle. You can also move around and choose a living spot that suits you best.
Your starting point is random. You could find yourself on a grassland, in a forest, on an island, or even in a desert.
Vehicles require maintenance and repair, so you must learn this essential skill. Each day, blind boxes will drop, containing items like food, weapons, or unimaginable surprises.
During the day, you can venture out to scavenge for supplies, but it's up to you to find them. At night, however, vicious beasts roam freely, so it's best to stay in your vehicle. Otherwise, you risk being torn apart mercilessly by the wild creatures.]

[Game Rules:
1. The game is entirely fair. Every player starts with an RV, and all subsequent resources must be obtained independently.
2. In the search for resources, you may encounter dangers. Your top priority is to protect yourself.
3. If you encounter other players, stay calm. You may consider teaming up, but beware—they might rob you of all your supplies or even kill you.
4. Elderly individuals and children are not part of this game.
5. Watch out for wild beasts. During the day, they are relatively less aggressive, but at night, they become the most dangerous. It's crucial to remain inside your RV at night; stepping outside may lead to certain death.]

Reading this, Su Chen broke out in a cold sweat. If he really encountered some kind of monster, he was powerless—there was no way he could fight back.
Goosebumps crawled over his skin.
Since I'm already here, and there's no immediate way to leave, I might as well adapt quickly, Su Chen thought.
Fortunately, he had always been quick to adapt.
As he was strategizing how to adjust to this new environment, a global chat channel suddenly appeared before him.
---
[World Chat Channel]
[Private Chat (0/0): Add friends to privately discuss events in this world. This will make the lonely survival game a little less isolating.
Regional Channel (Up to 1,000 people within a 100km radius): Like a localized group chat. These people are your nearby neighbors.
World Channel (7 billion participants): A global public chat that can be filtered or muted. You can post topics, share information, or discuss anything you like.]
---
At this moment, the World Channel was in utter chaos, with messages flooding in so fast that it was impossible to read them all.
Many people were beginning to speak and share their circumstances:
[ "Is everyone else trapped in some crappy RV like me? If you see this, please respond—I need to know!"
"What's going on here? Is this a dream? It feels way too real—I almost thought it was reality."
"Hello? Can someone explain what's happening? I'm the CEO of a major corporation. Where's my assistant? Anyone?"
"My father is very rich. Whoever helps me escape from this place, I'll give you 10 million."
"It's so dark outside and so vast. I don't dare go out…"
"Is anyone here? Please respond."
"Haha, are you crazy, thinking about escaping? You'd be better off figuring out what to do tomorrow morning. In this world, the key is to adapt quickly, or you'll be the first to get eliminated."
"The person above is right. We need to focus on survival. Anyone want to team up?"
"Any girls who want to team up?"
"I do."
"Me too."
"Count me in." ]

At this point, the World Channel was bustling with activity. Some were sharing their current situations, others were chatting casually. This was no longer an individual game but a collective survival experience.
People who had been scattered across the world were now connected as if in the same room.
Su Chen scrolled down and discovered that the game wasn't just about chatting; it also included a Trading System.
After tinkering with it for a short while, he got the hang of it. After all, as a self-proclaimed gaming addict, this kind of feature was child's play for him.
With renewed confidence, Su Chen believed he had a solid chance of surviving in this world. After all, he had plenty of experience with survival games.
He continued scrolling and noticed a section for Glory and Achievements.
For now, it was blank, which meant that no one in this world had yet earned any accolades or achievements.
Further down was a tab labeled Driving Manual.

Driving Manual? Su Chen frowned in confusion?.
