Today is a historic day for gamers around the world.

The trailer was played on the huge advertising screen in the city's central square, showing countless gorgeous game images, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch.

There were young students, white-collar workers, and even older gamers in the crowd. Everyone had unconcealable excitement on their faces, and they were communicating with each other about their expectations for the game.

The windows of the physical game store are carefully decorated to look like scenes from the game, and life-like life-size models of characters are placed in the aisles, including a pink-haired lolita who blows bubble gum with a baseball bat, and a cool girl with pure white hair holding a Tang sword. girl.

Store clerks are busy organizing shelves in preparation for the upcoming shopping frenzy.

There was already a long queue in front of the store. The queue was winding and winding, almost circling a whole block. Some people even queued up all night with tents, folding chairs, and food, just to buy the deluxe version of the game cartridge as soon as it was released. , and various limited edition peripherals.

On a mainstream game media video website, the host of the program column sat in front of the camera and was warming up the game that was about to be released.

"Today is an extremely exciting day for players around the world. The epoch-making game "Dawn: Return", fully invested by the well-known multinational scientific research company "Edge Technology", will be launched on all platforms at 8 o'clock tonight. "

"The game's predecessor, Dawn, became the first domestic masterpiece to be awarded the TGA Game of the Year award. Now, after more than fifty years, this IP work that has spanned a long time has once again bloomed with the vitality of life."

"It is reported that the development engine of "Dawn: Return" uses revolutionary artificial intelligence technology. The research team used the original world of "Dawn" as a template and used the extreme computing power of quantum computers to deduce the evolution of the universe in that world."

"This game has no protagonist and no main line. Players can choose any point in time, use any character as the main control, and enjoy their own story in the world of Dawn."

"With the support of artificial intelligence technology, the world of Dawn is just like our real world. No matter where players see or cannot see, everything is truly and dynamically evolving."

"Any NPC in the game, whether it is an important character in the original work or an insignificant passerby, is no longer a rigid program, and will respond to all interactions and conversations of the player in a logical manner consistent with reality."

"Any slight move by the player may trigger a huge butterfly effect, change the fate of NPCs, and affect the course of the world. The content experienced by each player will be different, with truly unlimited possibilities."

"All the players who were previously selected to participate in the closed beta have given unanimous evaluation of "Dawn: Return" - they didn't make a game, they created a world!"

On major social media platforms, the topic of "Dawn: Return" is also continuing to heat up. Players enthusiastically share their expectations and discuss possible details in the game regarding the previous "Dawn" game.

Countless well-known anchors are also warming up in their live broadcast rooms, attracting thousands of viewers. The chat rooms are scrolling rapidly, and everyone is expressing their excitement.

Even people who usually don’t pay much attention to games were affected by this event. TV stations, newspapers, and media websites were reporting on the release of this game. Experts also discussed its impact on the game industry and potential market value on the program. , as if the whole world was enveloped by this event.

On this night when countless players were restless, at the Edge Technology headquarters, Chairman Su Mo concluded his last shareholder meeting.

This old man, who is over 70 years old, handed over the equity in his name to a trusted successor, contacted a lawyer to write a will, promised to donate all his personal inheritance to the International Foundation for Children in Need after his death, and signed a public welfare body Donation Agreement.

After handling the funeral affairs, the old man who led his team to become a leader in the scientific research industry and had a net worth of more than 2 trillion yuan did not even look back. He deleted all contact information with outsiders and did not even look at his life for more than 50 years. The wealth and status accumulated through hard work quietly left the company headquarters.

Su Mo drove all night to a remote small city. There was a secret residence he had built in his early years. It contained complete living equipment and enough supplies for one person to last ten years.

Of course, there is also the most important thing to him, a video game room.

Compared with more than fifty years ago, gaming devices in this era have undergone revolutionary changes, and holographic immersive devices have become mainstream.

When you walk into the video game room, the first thing you see is a streamlined, futuristic black console box. It is made of nanomaterials, light and strong, and has built-in the most advanced quantum processor and holographic projection technology.

Matched with the host is a complete full-body wearable device. The main body is made of lightweight carbon fiber material. Its core technology is a neural interaction device, which can directly exchange signals with the brain.

This means that players do not need any traditional controllers such as keyboards and handles, and can act, fight and interact in the game with just their thoughts.

Su Mo put on this set of holographic immersion equipment and various neural interaction devices, and then opened the masterpiece that he had spent his life creating.

"Dawn: Return"

Just like what the closed beta players said about it, this is a world, a real world.

In the early years, Edge Technology successfully broke through technical difficulties and developed artificial intelligence with extreme computing power. It used the "Dawn" game more than 50 years ago as a prototype to deduce all the possibilities of the evolution of that universe.

The gameplay of "Dawn: Return" can be started at any time and anyone can be the protagonist, just as there may be countless planes in the real world, and different players also have endless paths in the Dawn world.

Su Mo chose the summer of the 152nd year of Dawn as the starting time of the game.

Location: 101 Research Base of Fengqi Plain of Hezhou Company.

Character: Dr. Chen, an intermediate blood code researcher of Hezhou Company.

The specific moment is when Dr. Chen injected the ancestor blood code into his body to prove the research results.

The game starts.

The character controlled by Su Mo woke up from a drowsy state, surrounded by shining red light and sharp alarms.

"Boom--" The ceiling collapsed, and a deformed man fell in front of him, stretching out his twisted giant arms to reach out to him.

The character controlled by Su Mo staggered and hid under the table.

Soon, two invaders appeared, a black-haired man and a white-haired woman.

The masked white-haired woman killed the deformed man, and Su Mo's character was captured alive when he went up to greet her because he rashly mistook the other party for his own.

The black-haired man said to the white-haired woman: "Let's go, don't worry about the old men in prison, let them fend for themselves."

Su Mo controlled the character and spoke in a low voice: "Hello, Nuo Bai."

Nuo Bai turned back and stared at him, the black eyes behind the mask were full of horror.

The black-haired man was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, and looked at Nuo Bai: "Your name is Nuo."

"Bang!" In response to the black-haired man, a bullet pierced through the head.

After the black-haired man died, the character controlled by Su Mo was strangled by Nuo Bai and pressed against the wall.

Nuo Bai took out his mobile phone and pressed it, then pointed the screen at him:

[Why do you know my name? ]

Outside the game, Su Mo looked at Nuo Bai's reaction, and his heart was filled with a mixture of sadness and happiness.

He suppressed his inner restlessness, smiled as he did in the past, and said mysteriously: "It's surprising, isn't it? It seems that some middlemen who have worked with you have made secret intelligence transactions with He Co., Ltd. behind your back?"

The process that Su Mo played next was exactly the same as when he traveled through time.

This is true consistency.

Because of hypermnesia, Su Mo will not forget any details.

In the past few years, whenever he has time, he will recall the scenes of the past over and over again, and rehearse over and over again.

At this time, he said what he said in the game and did what he did in the past. No matter what he said or did, his behavior was exactly the same as his past self.

[Escape from the Windy Plain]

Su Mo used the words about blood code dissociation syndrome to convince Nuo Bai to leave He Co., Ltd.'s territory with her and enter the no-man's land.

At the Life Sequence Research Center, he found the heterogeneous gene fusion tincture, and was saved by Nuo Bai when the side effects occurred. In the end, they defeated the Razor Rapid Reaction Force together and escaped.

[First time entering Crescent City]

Su Mo found Heywood and bought a legal identity. He went to the Public Commission Center to take his first task. Then he went to the roadside to squat and got in touch with the Countess. He officially entered the mercenary industry.

Then he met KK, found the future, conquered Dongdong, established the Edge Mercenary Group, and established his first organization.

[Hostage incident at Xinghai Cinema]

The king's election is coming, and the wolf king breaks the wall.

In order to change his fate, Crow Nest kidnapped students in a desperate manner, and innocent children died tragically outside the high-rise building.

Su Mo met Schenkov through Dress, outsmarted Muto Toei's family, and turned the tide with his own strength, making a big splash.

[Best Rookie Competition]

After Su Mo became the best rookie of the year, the Edge and Tooth Tiger competed with each other, and the threat of Ou Chenyu was imminent.

The unknown KK was unwilling to be ordinary, stood up for his big brother, and broke into the Tooth Tiger.

In the end, Su Mo gathered the whole city's strength to kill Ou Chenyu and became one of the seven stars of the new moon.

[Saint Riverland Vacation]

The leaders of Edge and Mo Xue met unexpectedly, and Su Mo and Shangguan Li crossed paths for the first time.

Dongdong also met his predecessors and met a close friend who was both a teacher and a mother in his life.

[Nemesis Virus Incident]

From a false commission to sinking into it without knowing it.

From mutual hostility and mutual harm to the last rose in the rain.

The genius hacker girl ended her revenge that spanned half a lifetime, and Qi Ling joined the group.

[Fool's Club Incident]

The silent death god was written into the menu by the superior, and Edge also encountered the biggest crisis since its establishment.

Chu Nanyi lived up to the leader's trust and knelt down to protect the men of the team.

Dongdong quit the group in a passionate way to seek revenge, and single-handedly blew up the leader of the seven stars, and the second gear overload became famous throughout the city.

In the end, Su Mo and Qi Ling both joined the game and played against Zhao Yiming, and their long-lost companion Nuo Bai finally joined the team.

[Beacon Incident]

Endless beasts surged like a tide, and Crescent City was in danger.

Thugs from the quagmire of the border rushed one after another and garrisoned.

The suit-clad people in power did nothing and took human lives lightly.

At the critical moment, Gordon, the former king of the border, burned in his old age, completed his life redemption by self-destruction, and also ignited the sparks in people's hearts.

[Tower of Babel Incident]

Faced with the betrayal of his confidants, the wolf king died generously and tore the false coat of the false god with his claws.

The behemoth that had been weighing on the world for a hundred years shed scarlet blood for the first time.

Then the court commissioner Luo came to Crescent City, Dark Rose performed the last solo dance with her life, and the counselor joined the game and won half a step.

[Black Tide War]

Break Tieyang, fight for the capital, and the torrent of constructs overwhelmed the corrupt regime.

The human elites were unwilling to fail and opened the Spear of Judgment to destroy the world.

Su Mo boarded the Sky City with the last hope of the world and defeated the leader in one battle.

The dawn illuminated the darkness, and the rain finally passed.

The game system of "Dawn: Return" originally has a time adjustment function, which is convenient for players to control the rhythm themselves, and Su Mo set the time flow rate that is equal to the reality one-to-one.

These things in the game spanned more than three years, and Su Mo also played in the secret residence in the real world for more than three years.

Because he wanted to ensure that every step at the moment was exactly the same as his own back then.

Not only those important plot points, but also the time to get up, every word in daily conversation with others, every pause, how much to eat at each meal, and how many bites to eat, are exactly the same as in the past.

The choices are exactly the same, the process is exactly the same, and the final result is of course exactly the same.

Su Mo relies on his hypermnesia to fiddle with billions of world lines and perfectly control the butterfly flapping the wings of fate.

In the endless possibilities, this old man who remembers everything travels through the years and finds the world that belongs to him alone.

At the very end, when Su Motong's consciousness was uploaded to the main brain and he kissed Qi Ling goodbye, Su Mo stopped the game process and broke the system program.

That's it.

His journey ended here.

Su Mo sorted out the game data that lasted for more than three years, imported it into the quantum computer that came out a few years ago, and used a special program to convert it into bioelectric signal data that can be compatible with human brain nerves.

These are the cutting-edge technologies developed by "Edge Technology" over the past fifty years, which have brought rapid development to the world, and brought Su Mo personal wealth and endless reputation.

Of course, he doesn't care about these.

Never cared.

After the data signal conversion was completed, Su Mo input it into the device for consciousness transmission, and he also lay on the mechanical table and connected his head to the device with the help of the intelligent system.

Su Mo: "Extract all my biological consciousness and merge it with data zero."

The steady voice of the intelligent system came: "Extracting all biological consciousness will cause the body to die directly, and the system has automatically rejected the request for you."

Su Mo: "Scan my biological information, run the program as an administrator, code 0309, and remove all system restrictions."

"Repeat, extract all my biological consciousness and merge it with data zero"

Intelligent system: "Administrator identity confirmed, system restrictions have been lifted, and the operation permission has been passed."

"Due to the established program requirements, make the last confirmation. Extracting all biological consciousness will cause the body to die directly. Are you sure to proceed?"

In the dark room, Su Mo smiled, that was no regrets for his life.

"My body will die, but my consciousness will exist in digital form until the end of time."

"I have lived in this world for more than 70 years, bid farewell to friends who have played with me from youth to old age, and supported my parents who loved me... I have lived an extremely fulfilling life."

"Consciousness transmission and fusion, confirmed to proceed."

"I am going home." (End of this chapter)
