Chapter 2: Game Helmet

Zhou Tianyu only remembered her purpose after the three of them disappeared into the crowd. Damn it, it seems she has embarrassed herself again. How could such a situation arise in a place like this? She is finding it increasingly difficult to control herself and wonders what she will become in the future. Am I still considered human? Suddenly shivering, she dared not think any further.

This time he received a business inquiry regarding the game data of Genesis. The offered price was astonishingly high, and Zhou Tianyu spent two days and nights finally breaching the terminal of Genesis's intelligent computer Nüwa to obtain insider information about the game. However, he was discovered after only 55 seconds, which left him feeling quite embarrassed. This incident piqued his interest, prompting him to set aside his current tasks to take a trip to Genesis. In his words, "You block my path to wealth, I will take your life." He sought insider information about the game but was only able to stay for 55 seconds before being detected, which made him feel humiliated. This led to a slight interest in him, and he decided to put down what he was doing to travel to Genesis, as he put it, "You block my path to wealth, I will take your life."

It is time to take a break. Just wait until tomorrow. Zhou Tianyu stood up, looked at the weather outside, the sun was shining brightly, today is truly a wonderful day

Zhou Tianyu responded with a sound, and his ten fingers danced on the keyboard for a moment. The homepage changed to display a scrolling message in large red letters: "This business center is temporarily closed, and the reopening date will be announced separately"

As his vision darkened, Zhou Tianyu let out a soft sigh. It had been over two years since he had last handled this thing, and he felt somewhat unaccustomed, yet also a bit eager and excited.

Helmet lock activated, holder: Zhou Tianyu

Finally obtained the gaming helmet, looking at the shiny blue shell, just by the tactile feel, this metal should be a rare metal. Huaxia Tianlong has certainly invested a significant amount. These simple helmets are akin to the luxurious helmets from those original games, which makes him somewhat tempted to buy a luxurious one to try out, but it's just a fleeting thought

Suddenly, a graceful and charming beauty approached, instantly diverting his attention. He quickly scanned her from head to toe, and just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, she had already noticed him. A fleeting look of surprise crossed her beautiful face. In an instant, a meaningful smile appeared in her expressive eyes, and the beauty boldly threw a flirtatious glance at Zhou Tianyu. When their eyes met, Zhou Tianyu felt as if he had been caught in the act of stealing, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze away, wondering what was happening to him. In that moment, he felt his face burning; oh no, he must be blushing. How could this happen? He, who had been lifting girls' skirts since the age of three, was now blushing. His heart began to race. Hmph, she is a beauty; he was merely admiring her, nothing to be afraid of. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Tianyu resolved to look back at her. She is a beauty; he was merely admiring her, nothing to be afraid of. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Tianyu resolved to look back at her. What a thick-skinned person, caught peeping yet still so brazen.

Removing his helmet and letting out a sigh, Zhou Tianyu muttered: "Damn it, gene type B, damn, go to hell, see your mother’s ghost..."

Zhou Tianyu bent down and gave a light tap on the head of Daitou, then rushed towards the laboratory. Zhou Tianyu's room consists of a small living room, a laboratory, a bedroom, a washroom, and a kitchen, with the laboratory occupying the largest area, nearly the sum of the other rooms combined. The laboratory is in disarray, with various metal tools scattered everywhere, and in the center stands a new type of computer, with more than ten electronic screens suspended in front of it (equivalent to today's LCD monitors); this is also his workspace

Holding the helmet and laughing foolishly all the way, unaware of what thoughts were stirring, I hurried back to my cozy nest

Zhou Tianyu entered the gaming industry at the age of twelve after completing compulsory education in the Federation (roughly equivalent to today's university graduation). Over the course of four years, he navigated through more than forty games, dominated over thirty, and directly caused the closure of more than twenty games. He is known in the professional gaming community as the "Game Killer" and the "Public Enemy of Players" (details to follow). He is the most enigmatic figure in the gaming world, having quietly retired at the age of sixteen, leaving no trace behind. From his emergence to his disappearance, no one knows his background, age, gender, or any other details. The only known characteristic is his ruthless approach to life, his unscrupulous methods in handling matters, and his eccentric and solitary nature.

Zhou Tianyu raised his head only to find that the beautiful woman had already disappeared, leaving only a faint silhouette in the distance among the crowd. Damn it, damn it, Zhou Tianyu felt as if he had been made a fool of; what was wrong with him today, always making a fool of himself.

Connect the helmet to a wireless network interface, lie down on a comfortable multifunctional long bench for fitness and massage in front of the computer, put on the helmet, and enter the game

Genesis is the latest virtual reality online game developed by the Cosmic Federation Huaxia Tianlong Group, a culmination of technological advancements. It is entirely controlled by the newly developed Next Generation Intelligent Computer Model VII, achieving a virtual reality level of 100%. The environment within is indistinguishable from reality, with no differences whatsoever; everything in human reality is replicated perfectly, and even surpasses reality in many aspects. The sky within is cleaner and bluer than the real sky, adorned with clouds that are rarely seen in reality, where clouds are often artificially created. The sensory experiences of taste and touch within are identical to those in reality. The slogan of Genesis is: "There is nothing you cannot imagine, and nothing we cannot achieve."

Times Square is teeming with people, showcasing a promotional clip of a holographic game suspended in mid-air, a highlight reel of immersive travel experiences, breathtakingly beautiful, featuring numerous stars. Dozens of youthful idol stars display dazzling skills from various professions in the game montage, with the men being handsome and elegant, like jade trees in the wind, and the women charmingly smiling, captivating hearts, while the scenes are thrilling.

Zhou Tianyu sat up, casually placing the helmet aside. While opening his computer, he called out for Datou to prepare lunch with the books. He opened his business homepage and saw a plethora of information, mostly related to the acquisition of insider information on Genesis, hidden professional details, and so on. Zhou Tianyu furrowed his brows, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, this cursed Genesis." He couldn't help but mutter curses as his fingers danced across the keyboard. The text boxes on the screen scrolled rapidly upward. If anyone were present at that moment, they would surely be astonished; the keyboard was a blur, his fingers appearing almost ethereal. Was this the speed of a human? Zhou Tianyu furrowed his brows again, cursing, "Damn it, this cursed Genesis," as he continued to type furiously. The text boxes on the screen continued to scroll quickly upward. If anyone were there, they would undoubtedly be shocked; the keyboard was a mere illusion, his fingers seeming unreal. Was this truly human speed? After compiling several game software and completing a few business transactions, Datou notified him that lunch was ready.

Thank you for your use, the game Genesis began on July 2, 2363, at 10:00 AM in the interstellar calendar

Use the sole candidate: Zhou Tianyu (the use of the helmet is unique)

The background blueprint of Genesis presents an unknown planet, whose landmass is over ten times that of Earth, with a water-to-land ratio of 1:1. A once-thriving civilization has fallen into decline on this desolate planet, which has remained barren for hundreds of years. Civilization has finally re-emerged, giving rise to numerous races: humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, undead, demons, and various other beings. There are nearly three hundred types of professions available (including hidden professions) for selection, with more common ones resembling those found in typical online games, such as warriors, mages, archers, rogues, rangers, martial artists, priests, summoners, and sorcerers. Each race encompasses many professions and hidden professions, which vary widely. This information is merely conjectured by experienced game studios based on promotional materials, as the data provided by Genesis and its accompanying literature is extremely limited, necessitating exploration within the game itself. However, in the month leading up to the game's launch, advertising was overwhelming, resulting in the decline and closure of over 95% of games.

Suddenly, the crowd in front of Zhou Tianyu converged unexpectedly, interrupting his deep thoughts. Wow, this is bad. I still need to buy the helmet for "Genesis". Wait, my helmet, my lucky account, here I come! Zhou Tianyu sprang into action, his slender figure slipping through the crowd like a fish in water, and in a moment, he had squeezed to the front of the throng.

Gene type: B

The entire game is monitored by intelligent surveillance, with no Game Master and no bugs available for exploitation. If you discover a bug, congratulations, you will become a shareholder of Genesis, with 1‰ of Genesis's shares belonging to you. You will be among the top 100 billionaires in the world, roughly estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of cosmic currency.

"Dah Tou, open the door for me!" exclaimed Zhou Tianyu excitedly as he kicked the tempered glass door, producing a dull thud. The door then slid open silently to one side. Dah Tou, with its shiny metallic head tilted, looked at its owner with a hint of surprise, its crystal eyes twinkling.

After finally waiting for more than two hours, not to mention how many people he had to bypass to get to the front, he finally obtained the Genesis simple helmet. Although with his accumulated wealth, purchasing a luxury cabin would only be a small fraction, those funds were earmarked for other purposes, which will not be discussed here. Moreover, he was here to cause destruction this time; luxury cabins have special access and backup files, and he would not do anything foolish.
