Half an hour later.
[Drunken Chat Group (Online: 21 people)]:
Vosni Butterfly: @everyone, !!! Urgent news, here's a link to download the legitimate version of "Dark Land", we don't have to scramble to buy access anymore!!!
Beaver: Uh... Big sis, what's gotten into you? You're talking nonsense.
Shrimp and Pork Heart: I was about to sleep, and you just gave a fright, has big sis gone mad from being unable to get the access?
Vosni Butterfly: @everyone, let say it again, this link can download the cracked version of "Dark Land", quickly download and let's enter the ga together, I'll go notify grandfather to download the ga as well.
word Duck: Seems it's true, she's even notifying Master Tie, our guild's strongest War God is finally coming out of retirent, I'm going to download it right now.
...
Upon seeing the group owner ntion going to notify "Master Tie," group mbers realized this was no joke.
Master Tie, ga na "Da Tie," real na Li Tie, is the grandmother of group owner Li Siyu.
He was once a Genetic Warrior in the Human Federation Judgnt Army and had repeatedly gone to suppress the Alien Race refugees causing chaos on Earth.
After retiring due to disability, Li Tie developed severe post-traumatic stress disorder; warti mories often flooded his mind, blurring the line between reality and battlefield, making him a ticking ti bomb ready to erupt at any mont.
Under the guidance of a psychologist, Li Tie chose to enter virtual gas, continuing as a warrior within the gas.
He is the top enforcer of the Drunken Group, transitioning through multiple gas with them, known as a top-level player in every ga.
Unlike ordinary players who play for fun, Li Tie plays purely to vent his accumulated frustrations.
So, the players in the group realized this wasn't a joke and hurriedly clicked the link to download the ga.
...
Fog Light City, post-war recuperation hospital.
Gym.
Huff~ Huff~ Huff~
Rapid breathing echoed as a burly, white-haired man engaged in bench press training, the weights on either side of the barbell totaling an astonishing 800 kilograms, exceeding the limits of a normal person.
Click!
The bar was set into the bench press rack as Li Tie slowly sat up, reaching for the prosthetic connected to his amputated left leg.
Standing up, he reached a height of two ters, his body clad in a tight training vest, muscle lines accentuated by sweat, each muscle appearing as a ticulously carved artwork, containing terrifying strength.
At that mont, Li Tie's body trembled uncontrollably.
Images of the battlefield erged in his mind.
Clad in black battle armor, in the distance sprawled an endless chanical army, with the roaring of energy cannons behind him, he led his comrades charging against the Alien Race's chanical forces.
"Kill!"
At this mont, Li Tie again could not differentiate reality from illusion.
When he cald down, the training room was in chaos, his fists covered in blood.
Sitting despondently on the floor, he gasped heavily, his chest heaving violently with each breath.
Just then, the projector embedded in the ceiling activated, and interweaving light rays condensed into a vibrant and youthful female figure in front of him:
Seeing the scene in the training room, the woman in the projection looked worried:
"Grandpa, your condition has worsened."
"I'm fine." Seeing his granddaughter, a rare smile appeared on Li Tie's face, and he continued:
"Siyu, what do you need from grandpa?"
"I found a new ga very suitable for you, the download link is in the group, please download it quickly, grandpa."
"Alright, I'll go download it now." Li Tie imdiately nodded.
After closing the video call, he turned and entered the adjacent bathroom, changed clothes after washing up, and returned to his bedroom to download the file according to his granddaughter's instructions.
Li Tie did not harbor much expectation for virtual reality gas.
These years, the virtual reality gas he played had a significant difference from reality, with a poor imrsion.
In his eyes, using the virtual environnt to decompress was secondary; more importantly, he wanted to accompany his granddaughter and fight alongside her in the ga.
One hour later.
Li Tie, who appeared at the Imperial Tomb Village resurrection point, underwent a shift in his mindset.
Stretching out his hand to feel the sensation of the breeze brushing past his fingertips, a hint of surprise flickered in his indifferent eyes.
What shocked him even more was that his lost left leg had realistic feedback in the ga.
After walking two laps around the central square of the Imperial Tomb Village, the realism of his left leg amazed him and made him realize that this ga was completely different from the virtual gas he had experienced before.
At this mont, a ga notification echoed in his mind:
[Player "Vosni Butterfly" has added you as a friend, accept?]
After choosing to accept, a video call request popped up in the upper right corner. Li Tie clicked confirm again, and imdiately a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him, a small chicken with fiery red wings exclaid excitedly:
"Grandpa, we have already left the village and headed towards the Blood-Colored Plain. Do you plan to explore alone or join us?"
"I will explore alone."
"Okay, I'll call you when there's an event."
"Master Tie, keep it up, and take us flying later."
"Master Tie, long ti no see...!"
Besides his granddaughter, voices of other Drunken Group mbers greeting him could also be heard in the video.
The Drunken Group mbers were not surprised by Li Tie's decision to act alone.
In their eyes, Master Tie had always been a lone wolf type of player, only appearing in guild battles and group player versus player events, leading the team to charge into battle with his powerful individual strength.
Following the cobblestone road out of Imperial Tomb Village, Li Tie walked eastward alone, chatting with the beginner's guide about the ga content.
Five minutes later.
Li Tie encountered the first monster since entering the ga.
A Curse Soldier, exuding a foul stench, slowly rose from the ground, raising a rusted broken sword towards him.
At this mont, Li Tie switched to his stone-statue ghost form.
Unlike other monster forms, the stone-statue ghost form was the closest to a human form, and this was exactly why Li Tie chose it.
Facing the Curse Soldier's incoming broken sword, Li Tie actively confronted it, grabbing the Curse Soldier's elbow joint to prevent the weapon from striking down, and with his right leg stepping forward between the Curse Soldier's legs and twisting outwards, the Curse Soldier lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Subsequently, Li Tie's punches, like a gust of wind and rain, smashed directly towards the Curse Soldier's head.
Soon after, the Curse Soldier's skull was dismantled by the punches, extinguishing the fla inside its head.
At that mont, a cluster of black energy erged from the defeated Curse Soldier, briefly gathering strength in the air before flying towards Li Tie and rging into his body.
Instantly, a refreshing sensation unlike any before burst from within, as if drinking a cold beverage on a hot sumr day, with his dormant body thoroughly invigorated by the energy, making his pores relax.
The wonderful sensation was fleeting.
After his first battle ended, Li Tie couldn't help but frown; he had noticed a problem.
This ga's sense of touch, sll, hearing, and all other feedback were indistinguishable from reality, but the pain feedback had a serious issue.
When his fist hit the Curse Soldier's bones, there was only feedback of force, but the pain feedback was greatly reduced.
This made Li Tie feel very stifled, feeling as if sothing was missing in the combat.
He imdiately asked the beginner's guide following him if there was a solution.
Upon learning that the pain feedback could be adjusted, Li Tie decisively summoned the function panel, chose the system settings, and adjusted the pain feedback progress bar from the initial 10% to the maximum.
After completing all this, a smile appeared on his lips:
"This makes it more interesting."
[Ruthless!]
At this mont, the beginner's guide also gave a thumbs up, expressing admiration for Li Tie's action.
