The day of the long-awaited delivery of the Game Box finally arrived three days later.

Li Zixuan had already quit his job and returned to his hometown, Lanhua City, preparing for the game’s launch.

The delivery of the Game Box was swift. With Anti-gravity Car transportation, all the millions of Game Boxes worldwide were installed in just a single morning.

The sudden appearance of this massive object at home surprised Li Zixuan’s parents, and they were also furious about their son’s decision to quit his job without telling them first.

"Mom and Dad, trust me, this game is going to be a real moneymaker! It’s the world’s first holographic game; I guarantee it will become a second world for humanity!"

After much persuasion, Li Zixuan finally managed to calm his parents down. Fortunately, his parents, who grew up reading web novels, were not entirely unfamiliar with such plots. However, they were upset because Li used the money they saved for an Anti-gravity Car to buy the Game Box instead.

For this Game Box, both of these young parents from the ’90s were quite interested. Mr. Li even lay inside it and tried connecting to the internet, but since the game wasn’t open yet, there was nothing to experience.

Tomorrow morning marks the official launch of the game. Li Zixuan had no interest in doing anything else and spent the whole day in the Starry Community, enthusiastically discussing information about the game with other netizens.

"Brothers, I heard this game is space-themed and can fully simulate real spacecraft battles. If you become proficient at controlling a shuttle in the game, you can supposedly pilot a real Space Shuttle in real life. Is that true?"

Curious netizens posted this question in the community.

This question has been the most concerning topic in recent months. Hearing that one could learn real Space Shuttle piloting skills in the game, many people were incredibly excited, eager to jump into the game and learn the Skills.

"Bro, I’m an insider—I’m telling you with certainty that this is indeed possible! You can learn to operate a Space Shuttle in the game, and if you can control it well in the game, you can take to the skies in real life!"

A netizen with the username "Shiitake Beef" replied to the post.

"You know the Anti-Demon Army, right? Their warriors were the first batch of testers selected by Light Blue Starry Sky. I’ve heard that the Anti-Demon Army now uses this game as a Space Shuttle training course. So, is it real or not!"

"And it’s not just about piloting Space Shuttles; most of the settings in the game are based on real-life standards. Various life Skills and wilderness survival methods can be used in real life!"

Other netizens got excited again upon reading this.

"Wow! Is this true? Is it really that realistic? I’m so looking forward to it! I can hardly wait for tomorrow morning; I just want to play it now!"

"If that’s the case, can’t I just learn the Skills in the game and then find a corresponding job in reality to support myself?"

"I’m a bit skeptical. After all, a game is a game; it can’t be exactly like reality. Otherwise, the game would become unplayable because every step would take a lot of time, and even putting in twenty-four hours a day would not be enough!"

"What do you know, elementary school kid! The point of a game is to be as realistic as possible! I’d love it if this were truly a second New World, so I can upload my consciousness and stay there forever! Yet you say being too realistic is bad; I suggest you go play some simpler games!"

"..."

The comment section quickly turned into a heated debate, with netizens from various countries gathered here, all awaiting the game’s launch.

Of course, only the first batch of players could join tomorrow, as the Game Box was expensive, and not everyone was willing to spend so much money to buy it. Most people were waiting, planning to buy the much cheaper game helmet expected to release in a month, which wasn’t too long a wait.

Li Zixuan kept inspecting his Game Box, remaining in an excited state all day, unable to sleep well even at night. Every half hour, he couldn’t resist checking his Game Box, turning over and over, annoying Mr. Li, who rewarded him with two big thumps on the nose.

Finally, time reached the next morning at ten o’clock—Beller’s game launch day. He could finally enter as he had longed to do.

Lying in the Game Box, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation, Li Zixuan felt a wave of drowsiness hit him. Unknowingly, he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim, cramped space.

"What’s going on? Where am I?"

Feeling the constant vibrations around him, Li Zixuan glanced at the surroundings, only to find himself sitting in a moving carriage with several other curious young people like him.

"Is this... have I jumped straight into the narrative? No need to create a character? Do I still look the same? My clothes seem different; is this... a combat suit of the Anti-Demon Army!?"
