After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS

Today is a historic day for gamers around the world.

The trailer was playing on the huge advertising screen in the city center square, presenting countless gorgeous game scenes, attracting countless passers-by to stop and watch.

The crowd included young students, white-collar workers, and even elderly gamers. Everyone had an unconcealable excitement on their face, and they shared their expectations for the game with each other.

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

The store clerks were busy organizing the shelves in preparation for the upcoming shopping frenzy.

A long line had already formed in front of the store, winding around almost an entire block. Some people even queued up all night with tents, folding chairs, and food, just to buy the deluxe edition cartridges and various limited edition peripherals as soon as the game was released.

A mainstream gaming media video website, the host of the program column is sitting in front of the camera, warming up for the upcoming game.

“Today is an extremely exciting day for gamers around the world. The groundbreaking game “Dawn: Return”, fully invested by the well-known multinational scientific research company “Edge Technology”, will be launched on all platforms on time at 8 o’clock tonight.”

"The game's predecessor, Dawn, became the first domestic masterpiece to win the TGA Game of the Year award. Now, more than 50 years later, this IP work that spanned such a long time has once again blossomed with vitality."

“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 cosmic evolution process of that world.”

“This game has no protagonist and no main plot. Players can choose any time point and any character as the main controller to tell 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 what the players can see or not, everything is evolving dynamically and realistically.”

“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 dialogues with the player in a way that is consistent with real logic.”

“Any tiny action of the player may trigger a huge butterfly effect, changing the fate of the NPC and affecting the course of the world. Every player’s experience will be different, with truly infinite possibilities.”

“All the players who were selected to participate in the closed beta test gave a consistent evaluation of Dawn: Return – they did not make a game, they created a world!”

On major social media platforms, the topic of "Dawn: Return" is also heating up. Players are enthusiastically sharing their expectations and discussing the details that may appear in the game based on the predecessor of "Dawn".

Countless well-known anchors were also warming up in their own live broadcast rooms, attracting thousands of viewers. The barrage of comments in the chat room was scrolling rapidly, and everyone was expressing their excitement.

Even people who usually don't pay much attention to games were infected by this grand event. TV stations, newspapers, and media websites were all reporting on the release of this game. Experts were also discussing its impact on the game industry and its potential market value in programs. It seemed as if the whole world was shrouded in this event.

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

The elderly man, who was over 70 years old, handed over his shares to a trusted successor, contacted a lawyer to write a will, promised to donate all his personal inheritance to the International Fund for Poor Children after his death, and signed a public welfare body donation agreement.

After dealing with the aftermath, 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, left the company headquarters quietly without even looking back, deleted all contact information with outsiders, and did not even look at the wealth and status he had accumulated through more than 50 years of hard work.

Su Mo drove all night to a remote small city, where there was a secret residence he built in his early years. It had complete living facilities and enough supplies for one person to use for ten years.

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

Compared to more than 50 years ago, gaming equipment of this era has undergone revolutionary changes, and holographic immersive devices have become mainstream.

When you enter the game room, the first thing that catches your eye is a streamlined, futuristic black console box. It is made of nano materials, is light and strong, and has the most advanced quantum processor and holographic projection technology built in.

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

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

Su Mo put on the holographic immersive equipment and various neural interaction devices, and then opened the masterpiece he had spent his entire life to create.

Dawn: Return

Just as the beta testers have commented on 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 also used the "Dawn" game from more than 50 years ago as a prototype to deduced all the possibilities of the evolution of the 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, different players also have endless paths in the Dawn world.

Sumer chose the summer of the 152nd year of Dawn as the starting time for the game.

Location: Joint venture Fengqipingyuan 101 Research Base.

Character, Intermediate Blood Code Researcher of the joint venture company, Dr. Chen.

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

Games start.

The character controlled by Sumer woke up from a drowsy state, surrounded by flashing red lights and sharp alarms.

"Boom—" The ceiling collapsed, and a deformed man fell in front of him, opening his twisted giant arms and reaching out to him.

Su Mo controlled the character to stagger and hide under the table.

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

The masked white-haired woman killed the deformed man, but Su Mo's character was captured alive when he went up to say hello 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 guys who are locked up. Let them fend for themselves."

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

Nuo Bai suddenly turned around and stared at him, his black eyes behind the mask 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!" The black-haired man's response was a bullet that pierced through his 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 phone and turned the screen towards 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 back then, and said mysteriously, "Very surprising, isn't it? It seems that some middlemen you have worked with have done secret intelligence transactions with the joint venture company without your knowledge?"

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

This is true agreement.

Because of hyperthymesia, Sumer will not forget any details.

In the past few years, whenever he had time, he would recall the scene of that year and rehearse it over and over again.

At this moment, he was saying the same things he had said in the past and doing the same things he had done in the past. No matter his words, actions or behavior, there was no deviation from his past self.

[Escape from the Windy Plains]

Su Mo used the words about blood code dissociation syndrome to persuade Nuo Bai to leave the joint-stock company's territory with her and enter the no-man's land.

At the Life Sequence Research Center, he found the xenogeneic fusion tincture and was rescued 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】

Sumer found Heywood and bought a legal identity. He went to the Public Commission Center to take his first mission, then waited for a car on the side of the road to get in touch with the Countess and officially joined the mercenary industry.

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

【Xinghai Cinema Hostage Incident】

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

In order to change their fate, Crow's Nest kidnapped students in a cruel way, and innocent children died tragically outside the high-rise building.

Sumer got to know Schenkov through Dress, and outsmarted Muto Toei's entire family. He turned the tide single-handedly and made a stunning debut.

【Best Rookie Competition】

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

The unknown KK was unwilling to be ordinary, so he stood up for his big brother and broke into the inside of the Tigertooth.

In the end, Su Mo gathered the strength of the entire city to defeat Ou Chenyu and became one of the seven stars of the Crescent Moon.

【Saint Riverland Holiday Tour】

The leaders of Bianjian and Moxue met unexpectedly, and Su Mo and Shangguan Li met for the first time.

Dongdong also got to know his senior through fighting and met a close friend who was both a teacher and a mother in his life.

[Nemesis Virus Incident]

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

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

The genius hacker girl ends her half-lifelong revenge, and Qi Ling joins the group.

【Fools' Club Incident】

The Silent Death was written into the menu by the superiors, and the Edge also encountered the biggest crisis since its establishment.

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

Dongdong quit the group to seek revenge when he was young and passionate. He defeated the leader of the Seven Stars in a single fight and his second gear overload became famous throughout the city.

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

【Beacon Event】

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

Thugs from the quagmire of the borderland came one after another to defend themselves.

The people in power in suits and ties do nothing and take human lives lightly.

At the critical moment, Gordon, the former king of the frontier, 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 bravely went to his death and tore the false cloak of the false god with his sharp claws.

The behemoth that had been weighing down the world for hundreds of years shed scarlet blood for the first time.

Then the court commissioner Luo came to Crescent City. Dark Rose performed her last solo dance with her life. The strategist entered the game and won half a step against God.

【Kurotide War】

Destroy Tieyang, fight for the capital, and the structural torrent will overthrow the corrupt regime.

The human elite is unwilling to accept defeat and launches the Spear of Judgment with the intention of destroying the world.

Su Mo climbed the Sky City with the world's last hope and defeated the leader in one battle.

The dawn illuminates the darkness, and the sky clears up after the rain.

The game system of "Dawn: Return" originally has a time adjustment function, which allows players to control their own rhythm, but Sumer set the time flow rate to be one-to-one with reality.

These events in the game spanned more than three years, and Sumer also played in the secret residence in the real world for more than three years.

Because he wants to make sure that every step he takes now is exactly the same as what he did back then.

Not only the important plot points, but also the time he usually wakes up, every word he uses in his daily conversations with others, every pause, how much he eats at each meal, and how many bites he takes when eating, are all exactly the same as in the past.

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

Relying on his hyperthymesia, Su Mo manipulates billions of world lines and perfectly controls the butterfly that flaps the wings of destiny.

Amid endless possibilities, this old man who remembers everything travels through the years and finds his own world.

At the very end, after uploading Su Motong's consciousness to the main brain and kissing Qi Ling goodbye, Su Mo stopped the game process and set a breakpoint with the system program.

That’s it.

His journey ended here.

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

These are cutting-edge technologies developed by "Edge Technology" over the past 50 years. They have brought rapid development to the world, and have brought Sumer personal wealth and endless fame.

Of course, he doesn't care about this.

I never cared.

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

Sumer: "Extract all my biological consciousness and merge it with Data Zero."

The intelligent system's steady voice came: "Extracting all biological consciousness will cause the body to die directly. The system has automatically rejected your request."

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

"Repeat, extract all of my biological consciousness and merge it with Data Zero"

Intelligent system: "Administrator identity confirmed, system restrictions lifted, operation permission approved."

"Due to the established procedures, we need to conduct a final confirmation to extract all biological consciousness, which will result in the immediate death of the organism. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

In the dark room, Su Mo smiled, showing that he had no regrets in his life.

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

"I have lived in this world for more than 70 years. I have seen off friends who have played with me since childhood and have grown old together. I have taken care of my parents who loved me... I have lived an extremely fulfilling life."

"Consciousness transmission and fusion, confirmed to proceed."

"I am going home."
