Chapter 2 Deep Sea Games
As I recall, the login screen for Deepsea Games was a swimming pool.

The login method is quite strange. Players must take off all their clothes and jump into the "deep-sea fish tank". When the water reaches their heads, players will be able to enter the deep-sea game world.

Pushing open the door, no one was home. The original owner's mother had already gone to work. The cramped little house was filled with all sorts of things, including junk that the mother had collected to sell for money.

In the very center of the living room, there was no coffee table, only a blue square pool of about five square meters – this was the login portal for Deepsea Games.

Without much hesitation, Chen Lai took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.

Pfft!
His body fell into the water, but the bright blue water did not overflow the pool. Instead, it filled the hole that Chen Lai had smashed, as if rewinding a video.

However, Chen Lai couldn't see this scene; he only felt cold.

Cold! So cold!

The icy water washed over his pupils, the extreme cold seeming to freeze his soul. As the water rose above his head, everything in the world seemed to fade away.

Welcome to Deepsea Games

A vast and majestic sound resounded in front of him, and the icebergs and sea before him became increasingly clear.

"This game is just too realistic."

Chen Lai felt a little uncomfortable; even when playing VR games in his previous life, he never had this immersive feeling.

An ice floe drifted to his feet; the ice crystals, formed at zero degrees Celsius, refracted a transparent light under the sunlight—it was there to receive him.

"This ray tracing is awesome!"

Chen Lai stepped onto the floating ice, and the ice surface immediately moved. Then he drove behind the iceberg.

Behind the iceberg lies a truly global player community, a... uh, Penguin Island.

The earth is covered in white snow, and countless penguins waddle along, making all sorts of anthropomorphic gestures. They laugh and play, drink and smoke, and some penguins are even eating boxed lunches.

"Hey buddy, wanna grab some fries at the dock?"

A penguin saw Chen Lai and came over to pat him on the back with its wing.

Chen Lai's expression was indescribable. Had the game company's producer eaten some kind of mushroom? Otherwise, how could they have come up with the idea of ​​turning all the players into penguins?

"Hey, buddy! Can you hear me?"

The penguin was not satisfied with Chen Lai's reaction and patted him hard again.

"I can hear you, I can hear you, who is this?"

Chen Lai twisted the penguin's plump body and turned to face the penguin behind him.

The penguin that greeted Chen Lai was an emperor penguin with a pale yellow neck. Seeing Chen Lai's complicated expression, it smiled.

"Hey buddy, it looks like you haven't logged in for a long time. There are different player outfits every quarter. In spring, it was a cyberpunk theme, and the neon lights were so bright they could blind you. Now it's winter, so of course we have to do a winter theme."

"Enough with the nonsense. Have you seen the new dungeon? Want to come in with me and grab some fries?"

As he spoke, a McDonald's fry actually appeared in the Emperor Penguin's hand. He elegantly picked up a fry and swallowed it.

Chen Lai was speechless. If he didn't have the original owner's memories, he would have really thought that Emperor Penguin meant "fries" literally.

"Lao Fries" is a gaming slang term used by experienced players to exploit newbies. Every year during the summer and winter breaks, Deepsea Games sees a large influx of these "Fries," and in the game's dungeons, players can kill other players to steal their equipment and sell it for money.

"No, I just want to go in, search for some things, and then leave. If I can come out unharmed, that will be a victory."

Chen Lai rejected Emperor Penguin's offer. He only wanted to make a lot of money from the original storyline and wasn't interested in making small profits from other players.

The emperor penguin was a little disappointed, but he quickly found a new target, so he flapped his wings to say goodbye to Chen. "Buddy, I wish you a game where you get gold and red coins, and become rich overnight!"

"Thank you for your kind words." Chen Lai nodded.

Reaching gold or red in a single game of Deep Sea means obtaining valuable items worth millions or tens of millions in a single game, essentially granting one a declaration of financial freedom.

"OK, so we're playing a real-life Delta Force game in another world. Time to start the knife run!"

Saying goodbye to the emperor penguins, Chen Lai couldn't help but complain.

Just then, a seagull flew in from afar, carrying a letter in its beak, and dropped it on Chen Lai's head.

[Kouyi Bian Nanniang: Inside information about the Shibuya Incident: The power of cursed spirits is far stronger than that of sorcerers. You can choose to exchange for cursed spirit abilities to raid for treasure. The big event should begin in December.]

[Here's a little tip: DO NOT swap for that 150,000 main weapon, Heaven and Curse. The last person who swapped for it already lost so much they wouldn't recognize their Blood Horse!]

It seems this is the inside information that the original owner bought for 20,000 yuan; it's incredibly inside information.

Chen Lai was speechless. "Jujutsu Kaisen" is a hot-blooded shonen manga. The main character is Itadori Yuujin... Bullshit! Actually, the main characters are Gojo Satoru and the most evil cursed spirit Sukuna!
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, there exists a mysterious power called Jujutsu. Humans' fear of certain things can create Jujutsu spirits, which are completely inhuman and can easily cause crises to human society.

To combat cursed spirits, sorcerers emerged, and the sorcery academy that trains sorcerers is the school that Hisahito Itadori attended.

Gojo Satoru is Itadori's teacher. He has six eyes and is known as the strongest sorcerer in history.

Although the manga's later developments were terrible, the sense of oppression that Gojo Satoru created in the early stages was indeed very strong, to the point that the manga author had to kill him off to keep the story going.

As for the inside information provided by [Kou Yi Bian Nan Niang], it can't be said to be wrong, but it's just a complete mess.

None of these messages are true.

First, assuming Chen Lai uses the ability of a cursed spirit to enter, he would be on the opposite side of humanity and would definitely be eliminated by the sorcerer.

Secondly, the Shibuya Incident occurred at the end of October and lasted only one night. Given the one-to-one flow of the game and reality, if he had entered the game in December, the story would have already ended.

Third, the Heavenly Curse, in the original comic, is indeed a curse that causes the cursed person to lose their magical power and become an ordinary person.

However, it greatly enhances a person's physical abilities. In the comics, the "Heaven and Tyrant" Fuheishen can even easily defeat a top-tier cursed spirit. You can't say that this kind of cheat is useless?
The letter delivered by the seagull was torn into pieces, and it melted instantly when it fell into the snow.

"If you don't understand how to play, don't play. Just watch what this guy does!"

Chen Lai patted his belly and brought up the Deep Sea game panel.

……

The game information is very brief; the only thing worth noting is probably the [World Time].

The time in each game instance is synchronized with the real world only in terms of month, day, and hour, but the year is different for each instance. This makes it easier for players to understand the dates of major events.

So far, Deepsea Company has launched hundreds of instances, but not many can be considered major events... Every day, game streamers shout "The big one is coming," but the big one rarely actually happens.

This time, the big one is really coming!

The Shibuya Incident Secret Scroll will be the first instance to be opened for less than a month, yet a major event will occur!
