In a deep rainy night, Li Wei finds himself in the aftermath of a violent truck accident. Having been struck and thrown by the truck, he struggles to rise, his memory flickering with the image of the driver's face. Suddenly, a mysterious figure in a red coat appears on the overturned truck, his clothes untouched by rain. This figure, radiating an eerie familiarity, turns to face Li Wei and reveals himself as the truck driver. Addressing Li Wei as "Mister Li Wei," the driver speaks of destruction and hope, asking if he is ready. Overwhelmed by fear, Li Wei flees, but the driver reappears before him, apologizing for a mistake in the personnel list while insisting the outcome is the same. Lightning engulfs the sky, trapping Li Wei in a cage of electric arcs. Forced to return to the driver, Li Wei is swallowed by a blinding white light, leaving behind the driver’s farewell: "Have a good trip, Mister Li Wei."Li Wei awakens in a vast expanse of white, where countless streams of information flood his mind. Through the chaos, a system activates, identifying itself as number ZGMF-X42S and welcoming him to the "Otherworld." The information overload is overwhelming, but the system continues to feed him knowledge about this strange new realm. Emerging from the white void, Li Wei finds himself lying on an endless green grassland under a bright sun. His surroundings are utterly alien. His phone, which had malfunctioned, now shows no signal, confirming his isolation. Desperate, he collapses among the grass, when a system prompt offers a navigation function. Without a clear command, the system searches for the nearest inhabited area and begins navigating through a "Defective Map." Days pass as Li Wei, relying on the system's minimal aid, trudges across the grassland, enduring hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. His body weakens, and he moves with a limping gait, leaning on a crude wooden stick. The system remains a distant, intermittent companion, occasionally providing warnings and confirmations. At last, guided by the faulty navigation, he approaches a glistening stream. His throat burns with thirst, and every cell craves sustenance. He stumbles forward, collapsing by the water's edge. The system assures him the water is safe, albeit with mild discomfort. Plunging his head into the cool flow, Li Wei drinks greedily, feeling the water revive him. The sunset paints the sky and water in fiery hues, but the approaching dusk brings a new urgency—he still has no shelter. Exhausted but momentarily revived, he gazes at his reflection, a bedraggled figure, and realizes the grim reality of his situation. Forced to rely on the system’s guidance, he prepares to continue his journey into the unknown, a lone survivor in a world that is both beautiful and alien.The story begins with Li Wei's forced displacement into a fantastical realm, orchestrated by a mysterious driver with ties to a cryptic organization (hinted at by codenames Bird, Chicken, and Wolf). His initial struggle is one of raw survival: finding water, coping with the overwhelming influx of otherworldly knowledge, and accepting the new reality imposed upon him by the system. The system itself becomes his only lifeline, a constant narrator that offers flawed yet essential aid. His core conflict is not yet with external foes, but with the incomprehensible fate that has torn him from his world and the driver’s unsettling promise that this is only the beginning. Li Wei's immediate goal is to reach civilization as indicated by the defective map, but the vast grassland stretches endlessly, and the system’s hints suggest deeper mysteries await. The narrative establishes a protagonist cast into a hostile yet wondrous environment, armed only with a malfunctioning system and a will to survive, setting the stage for a journey of discovery and transformation in an alien otherworld.
