heart feeling chilled!……Although it took a bit longer than expected (mostly because I was lazy for half a month, no shame in admitting it), what matters is that the book is finally out!New books need..."Sample number 24, Valkyrie solution administered, survival time: two minutes and forty-five seconds. Time of death: 04:22 AM."
I'm all alone at home, who is talking
Han Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a blinding white light. The game cabin had disappeared, replaced by a pure white ceiling. The surrounding white walls were made of cold metal, giving off a strong sci-fi vibe. The room was decorated like an intensive care unit, with Han Xiao lying on a metal bed, connected to several machines by wires. His back pressed against the cold metal, his heart pounding in fear.
Several people in white coats, resembling researchers, stood around him, with faces that clearly showed shock.
"I just took a new account order, didn't I I chose the regular opening strategy. Where on earth am I Han Xiao had a splitting headache, his thoughts were muddled and jumbled, like a flood of information crammed into his mind. The last memory he had was taking a leveling order for someone in , creating a new character's interface, then...a smell of burnt protein powder filled his nostrils..."
"Hurry and tell Halas, the experiment lived!"
"Call the guard, come quickly and control the experiment."
Those several white coats were shouting, Han Xiao hadn't heard their language before, but he could understand the meaning. "Experiment", "survival time", "guard" these words made him feel uneasy. Footsteps sounded urgently outside the door, someone was quickly approaching.
Wait or run After just a moment's hesitation, Han Xiao decisively chose the latter. Cowering wasn't his style. He ripped all the connecting wires free and stumbled toward the laboratory door. The surrounding white coats hastily retreated without obstructing him.
"Bang!" Bursting through the door, I was met with a white hallway stretching before me. At either end stood a dozen guards in black tactical gear, their electric batons raised.
Han Xiao recognized the half-tree seedling mark on their uniforms, taking a sharp breath in. "The budding organization of Planet Azure from Version 1.0 Wasn't that already wiped out!"
A guard swung an electrified baton and smashed it down. Han Xiao instinctively raised his hand to block, the electric shock sending a jolt through him, making his muscles twitch violently. His bones felt like they were about to shatter, half of his body went numb.
“This pain is 100%!” Han Xiao was astonished. *’s pain regulation limit is at 40%, exceeding 40% would cause nerve damage to the player. The game pod monitors the player's physiological functions, and if such a malfunction occurs, it should have forcibly disconnected already.
What the heck, my game pod just broke down again after only seven years Come on, the repair guy I called a few days ago charged me 300 bucks and swore up and down it wouldn't be a problem for six months. He was full of crap. I'm going to call customer service right now and demand a refund!
A dozen or so burly... er, muscular guards rushed in. Han Xiao felt the full force of his size as a man, being pushed and shoved into an empty, small dark room. The guards locked the door behind them before leaving.
The surroundings were dark, and he was alone in the room.
Han Xiao gritted his teeth in pain, easing the force on his wrist.
My head started aching again, and a torrent of information flooded my mind.
After a while, Han Xiao finally figured out what had happened.
"I have traveled to... 《Star Sea》"
Han Xiao widened his eyes in surprise.
《Star Sea》 is an immersive holographic game with a global service network, and at its peak, it boasts nearly 60 million concurrent players. (Don't doubt the severity of population expansion in the parallel universe of 2060.)
The game is set in a starry universe. The map and scenery are generated by the latest generation of brain input parameters, evolving autonomously. They are unimaginably vast, accommodating hundreds of millions of players online without any burden. Countless guilds and groups engage in activities like making money, exploring maps, and completing dungeons within it. A piece of top-tier equipment can sell for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A popular game must have a good balance, ensuring that whales who are willing to spend money have a certain advantage without making it so overwhelming that casual players feel it's unfair. The most important way to maintain balance is by strengthening the game's competitive and technical aspects, which is also true for StarCraft. It has spawned professional players and professional leagues as a result.
Speaking of this, you might think I'm going to talk about how awesome and legendary Hanxiao was as a professional player.
No, Han Xiao might make a living from gaming, but the term "professional gamer" doesn't apply to him. He's a hated power-leveler in the eyes of most players, and the kind who operates alone without belonging to any guild.
As a veteran player of "Star Sea," Han Xiao has experienced all the version updates. He is somewhat well-known and has consistently ranked within the top 100 on the Chinese server's high-level ranking list. According to the latest issue, he was ranked 47th. Logically, with his skills, he could easily defeat professional players. However, he remains a stand-in player, the reason for which we will discuss later.
"Sprouts Organization, version 1.0, a planet where new players are born, the event on Blue Star." Han Xiao muttered to himself. Before he transmigrated, had been operating for over ten years, and the events of version 1.0 were already history. Was this him going back in time"
Han Xiao's expression darkened. So, those three hundred pieces are gone for good!
"Slap!" Han Xiao slapped himself. Even after traveling through time, he still wanted a refund Am I an idiot!"
The memories in my mind seem to be missing something. I don't know about my past experiences, or even my own name. All I remember are some general knowledge about this world, like time. For example, the era I live in is Star Sea Year 687 within the game, and it was officially released in 688.
In the era of version 1.0, the three cosmic-level behemoths, the [Shining Federation], the [Crimson Empire], and the [Phantom Cult], maintained peace for tens of thousands of years since the late exploration period. The [Silver Revolution Army] had not yet been formed, the source of the [Superpower Catastrophe] was still struggling to survive on some desolate planet, the [Shining World] had not yet been born, and the [World Tree] civilization had not yet embarked on a large-scale cosmic exploration. The Broken Star Ring where Planet Azure resides was still lingering at the edge of the observable universe...
To keep the game engaging, StarCraft borrowed from a game called Warcraft from many years ago. Each update was a disaster and major event. Gul'dan has been causing trouble for so long, and now he’s dead (again, why add an “again”) The Burning Legion invades again, who knows how many more times they'll return In this regard, StarCraft fully absorbed the experience of Warcraft. It's really exciting to play, but if you were actually transported there… buddy, is there a return ticket
The trials and tribulations of the budding organization and later versions, compared to the galactic catastrophes they faced, were mere trifles. However, for Han Xiao at present, this situation was a deadly predicament.
"The Haelan star model is similar to Earth, and the budding organization is an attempt to overthrow major political powers. If I remember correctly, all subjects in the Valkyrie Experiment underwent brainwashing and were turned into cannon fodder."
The origins of this being stem from the experimental subjects used by a group called “Origins.” Their memories are fragmented, containing only scattered glimpses of captivity and experiments alongside general knowledge.
Around twenty years old, his appearance vaguely resembled his past self. As for his health, it was hard to tell. He remembered what the doctor in white had said; he had been injected with the "Valkyrie Solution." This concoction was one of the budding organization's gene medicines, designed to enhance brain function, with a mortality rate as high as seventy percent. However, something had mutated within him.
Suddenly, a line of half-imaginary blue text appeared before my eyes:
You have equipped [Valkyrie's Solution]. Gain 1 Endurance Potential. Obtain the specialization - Heightened Focus. Obtain the specialization - Low-Tier Divinity Resilience.
"Panel information!" Han Xiao was overjoyed.
The half-bright blue screen in my vision expanded, very futuristic, but it didn't obstruct my view.

The game panel for Star Sea, thank goodness this thing is still around, sure enough, the handsome guys are blessed by heaven.
However, Han Xiao quickly discovered something amiss.
NPC template Aren't you a player 1.0 open beta countdown
Han Xiao frowned, discovering several key factors.
Although he wasn't sure why the attribute panel had crossed over with him, this was a real world where every life was precious. Once he died, there wouldn't be a resurrection like in the game.
Second, I crossed over as an NPC, but I unexpectedly have a player's system panel. This is undoubtedly good news, as I can level up just like players.
Third, the countdown to public testing makes him realize that perhaps the real world has returned to the time before Star Sea was released. He truly has gone back in time! Then, will those players from before reappear
The fourth is the most important, his current situation is very dangerous!
Han Xiao was in a bad mood. Looking at other people's transmigration experiences, that was the normal start, right Five hundred gold coins, ten people, resources, helpers, and maybe even a former friend. Even if they didn't have those things, at least the environment was safe. If there was an enemy who wanted to kill them, they would only do it behind their backs. But him At the start of the battle, he was a lone hero, stuck in enemy territory. In a blink of an eye, the Gods sent him back to Valhalla... if such a thing existed.
Han Xiao currently has no player resurrection ability, life is on a single thread, it's a pity to leave him here.
It's true... he was thinking "it's a pity," which is slightly different from the normal human thought, "I have to live." As for things like "My life is up to me, not fate; if heaven destroys me, I destroy heaven" or "Swallow a golden elixir and shatter the gate of birth and death without any worries," those are typical reactions from someone in their late teenage angst phase.
"What the hell, am I the only one trapped in Sword Art Online" Han Xiao complained.
Although it looked exactly like him, there was a great suspicion in his heart.
What is the essence of one's existence, true life Or just a set of data Soul transmigration
"Since it has already happened, let it be. I can only take one step at a time." Han Xiao thought to himself, no matter what he was, if he didn't want to die bravely, he could only find a way to survive.
There is still a year before the public test, and he has a whole year to prepare before the players arrive. That's the only good news he has right now. He understands the destructive power of players all too well; they are like locusts, synonymous with madness and chaos.
"
Bang!
"
At that moment, the door to the small room opened and several people walked in. Since they were facing away from him, Han Xiao could only see that the leader was curvaceous and a fiery woman.
"How's the experiment going" a subordinate behind him spoke, his voice gravelly with a hint of fatigue, like a cup of strong coffee, languid yet with a touch of something more.
"Looks like we're past the manic phase." Principal Investigator Lin Wei-Hsien scrutinized Han Xiao with fiery eyes, his gaze lingering as if he were assessing a personal possession.
Han Xiao rasped, "Who are you"
"Hmm It seems my memory might be a bit off." His brow furrowed.
"Valkyrie stimulates the brain, memory loss is a normal reaction." Lin Wei-xian squinted.
As his eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Han Xiao could clearly see the person's features and was instantly struck with amazement.
She has a head of fiery red, long hair that covers half her face. She wears a black tactical uniform that seems like it's about to burst at the seams from her incredibly voluptuous figure. Her masculine hormones are powerful, she has both Western features and Eastern charm, almost like a mix of races. She is alluringly beautiful with black eyeshadow and a languid air about her, like a human viper.
If Daji had this value, King Zhou wouldn't have died unjustly, Han Xiao thought up this idea.
"Hale, this is the manager here." The redhead glared at Han Xiao, waving his hand. "Take him down for testing, I want to see the report immediately!"
Two expressionless stern guards stepped forward, each grabbing one of Han Xiao's arms and pulling him out. Han Xiao glanced at the strong figures beneath their uniforms and the pistols on their hips, instantly abandoning his plan to resist.
He recognized "Red Serpent" Hela. This was one of the challenge scenarios on Haelan Star - the "Valkyrie Laboratory," a subordinate base of the Sprout Organization.
In the 1.0 version, this boss named Hela caused countless newly arrived players on Blue Star to cry out in frustration and lament. She was dubbed "the勸退姐" (literally "counseling sister") on forums. In the future, she became even more formidable for the interstellar powerhouses of the Colton star cluster. Her strength surpassed that of a natural disaster and earned her the title "Death God." She was renowned throughout the Shattered Ring of Stars.
Han Xiao secretly smiled wryly, his situation was truly like a cold winter month, his heart feeling chilled!
……
Although it took a bit longer than expected (mostly because I was lazy for half a month, no shame in admitting it), what matters is that the book is finally out!
New books need everyone's care, recommendations! Favorites! Support! Everything!
P.S.: I originally wanted "Mechanical King," but someone already took it. I thought "Mechanical Sovereign" wasn't bad either, but that was also taken. After trying out ten or so other names, I finally found one that worked. It seems all the good names have been taken, leaving none for me...
There are 1.5 million words in the old book "The Evil Demon Race", you can watch it with confidence.es that clearly showed shock."I just took a new account order, didn't I I chose the regular opening strategy. Where on earth am I Han Xiao had a splitting headache, his thoughts were muddled and jumb...
