After a massive earthquake sweeps across Blue Star, Xia Qiu, who has just quit her job, unexpectedly enters a wilderness survival game. The system tells her that once the harsh winter arrives, the desolate continent will become a land of eternal silence. While others level up by fighting monsters in all sorts of flashy ways, she raises the hostility of neutral creatures to the maximum by picking up pinecones. While others specialize in a profession, she learns every blueprint under the identity of an "Unemployed Drifter," building her technology tree to a towering seventeen or eighteen meters. When everyone else is struggling to secure a wooden cabin in the bitter winter, she is already sitting by her fireplace, sipping hot mulled wine. Until one snowy, windswept night, a mysterious hunter knocks on her door, bringing her the last hope of the Old City.
