I built a floating city in the game.

According to the latest reports, the large-scale Western fantasy game "Real World", jointly produced by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, is expected to be officially launched globally at 8:1 AM Beijing time on January 1, 2027.

The game adopts a brand-new contactless brain-computer interface mode, allowing users to enjoy up to 100% virtual gaming experience simply by using a gaming headset.

Stay tuned!

Mo Bai watched the news on TV and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"What? A brain-computer interface game? A 100% virtual game?"

"Has the technology reached this point yet?"

Surprised, Mo Bai couldn't help but check the news and found that interventional brain-computer interfaces have helped many disabled people regain their hearing and complete controlled limb reconstruction, while non-interventional brain-computer interfaces have also passed experiments long ago.

Only when he reached this point did he dare to believe the news reports.

"Wow, that was fast."

Filled with emotion, he went online to find others who shared the same feelings.

After this period of fermentation, the news has completely exploded online. Nine out of the top ten trending topics are related to "Real World," with only the second one being a news release about a celebrity concert.

It seems like we were number one at first?

Mo Bai tilted his head and thought for a moment, then put it aside and opened the game's official forum, where he immediately saw a series of posts appear.

"Brothers, the virtual game I've been waiting for has finally arrived! It brings back so many memories!"

"Honestly, has the country discovered another world? Is this actually a portal to another world?"

"The person upstairs has such a vivid imagination. I think this is a testing ground for new technologies, a place to collect brain-computer interface data for AI."

Do you all play it? Do you think players from all over the world will flock to this game?

Could this turn into our second world?

Mo Bai looked at these posts with great excitement, scrolling through them endlessly, wishing he could download the game right now and play it for several nights in a row.

"It's still half a month until the release. I need to buy a gaming headset first."

Without saying a word, he spent nearly 10,000 yuan online to buy a dedicated gaming helmet.

Half a month later, amidst the anticipation of countless people, the world's first non-invasive brain-computer interface game was launched!

One minute before going live, Mo Bai pinched the ink cartridge pendant around his neck, feeling the texture of the patterns on it with his fingers. He took a deep breath, and with a slight tremor, put on the gaming helmet. The silicone connector inside the helmet fit snugly between his eyebrows.

"start up!"

"Buzz!"

With a refreshing sensation in his mind and a wave of drowsiness washing over him, Mo Bai gradually fell asleep.

"Um?"

"Am I asleep?"

Mo Bai groggily woke up, scratched his head, but couldn't find his helmet.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't see the ceiling of the rented room, but a clear blue sky.

"Welcome to the game! Have fun playing!"

A crisp sound rang in his ears, and Mo Bai suddenly realized.

"This is a game?"

He looked at his hands, at everything real around him, and held his breath slightly.

Beneath my feet was real land, and in the distance stretched an endless green forest; everything felt incredibly real.

"Is this really a game?"

If it weren't for the ever-present exit button in his peripheral vision, Mo Bai would have even suspected that he had been transported to another world.

This thought prompted him to open the game forum.

"shock!"

"Holy crap!"

"Did I time travel?"

"Did we travel through time together?"

"How do you play this game?"

The forum was flooded with shocked comments, and it took quite a while to close it.

"The game has just launched, so there's not much experience to share yet; it's all about exploring and clearing the map."

After closing the forum, Mo Bai muttered to himself.

"So how do I play now?"

He pondered for a moment.

"Let's build a shelter first, then get some food."

Mo Bai searched around for a while and soon found a stone about the length of a forearm.

"Hey, this is good stuff!"

He picked up the forearm-length stone and tapped it sideways on one of the other stones.

"Snapped!"

The stone cracked.

"Snapped!"

"La!"

After some repair and polishing, the long stone was finally given a relatively sharp edge on one side.

Holding his "weapon" in his hand, Mo Bai felt much more at ease. He stretched and followed the sound of the river to find his way.

"Hey, this is a good spot."

Before long, a small bamboo grove beside the river caught his attention.

Two branches grow side by side on a large tree next to the bamboo grove, vaguely forming a platform.

Mo Bai glanced at it a few times, then climbed up in a few quick movements. He broke off a lot of bamboo and tied it up with vines. With a little trimming, it became a decent platform.

"Hmm, that feels good."

Although it seemed a bit childish to create such a small base in a game, he still did it.

It fulfilled a childhood dream of owning a treehouse.

"If we had a tree like this when we were kids, we would have played in it all the time!"

Lying on the small platform, surrounded by the dense branches and leaves of Mo Bai, I couldn't help but stretch.

"This feels so comfortable!"

Mo Bai lay down on the tree for a while before climbing down, but as soon as he landed, he felt a gust of cold wind hit him.

"Holy crap!"

He only had time to utter a curse before he was tackled to the ground, and then a wolf pinned him down, its gaping maw snapping at his throat.

"It stinks... Ouch!"

Mo Bai instinctively used his hand to block, but when the wolf's sharp teeth pierced his muscle, he gasped in pain.

Under intense pain, anger instantly overwhelmed reason, and the terrifying instincts of the upright ape took over.

He probably couldn't beat a dog if he wasn't injured.

But what if someone gets injured...?

"Ah!! You dare bite me? I'll kill you!"

While cursing, Mo Bai clamped the wolf between his legs, then slammed it against its body, gouged out its eyes, and even endured the injury to forcefully reach in and choke it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

It's unclear how long the fight lasted, but the wolf finally fell silent. Mo Bai leaned against a tree, panting heavily, hissing in pain.

A wisp of white aura appeared on the wolf carcass beside him and then disappeared into Mo Bai's body.

"Experience points +16".

At the same time, a white experience bar appeared.

Experience points: 16/100.

Looking at this post full of experience, Mo Bai suddenly understood.

"So it's about leveling up by fighting monsters... You should have said so earlier!"

"I wonder what it will feel like after this realistic world is upgraded."

Will I really become Superman?

Mo Bai felt a faint sense of anticipation, and just then, a glimmer of light appeared in his mind.

When he focused his attention on that direction, he appeared in a completely empty mind.

In the center, a small 9x9 Rubik's Cube spins in mid-air, its peculiar patterns appearing chaotic yet full of beauty.

"Um?"

"etc?"

"Isn't this my 9x9 Rubik's Cube that I've never been able to solve even once?"

What is that?

Mo Bai subconsciously touched his neck.

Ink cartridge: 0/100.
