Full-Dive Murder Mystery: China's Heroes Make the World Weep

Gu Qing transmigrates to a parallel world that has lost much of its cultural heritage and opens a fully immersive virtual reality experience center. To attract players, he launches a series of delightfully soothing promotional ads: “The golden age of the Tang Dynasty: breathtaking beauty and the perfect place for a historical romance!” “An immersive voyage across the seas: sunny beaches and a chance to set sail!” “The refined Song Dynasty: gatherings of scholars and a taste of the leisurely life of ancient times!” Millions of top streamers eagerly put on their VR headsets. But when they open their eyes, the whole internet goes wild! Trying the Tang Dynasty romance scenario? The city is full of white-haired veterans. A blind old soldier presses half a piece of hard, dry flatbread into their hands. “Young fellow, live on for us. Go back to Chang’an and see it for yourself...” In tears, players pick up their long sabers and defend the isolated city without giving an inch! Trying the sunny voyage across the seas? They’re met by raging storms and a lone force covering the retreat! Facing an enemy fleet several times their size, an old general roars, “Hard to starboard! Ram their ships!” The players, eyes bloodshot, steer their battered vessel straight into a sea of fire! Trying the refined scholars’ scenario? On Mount Yashan, amid a howling snowstorm, a scholar with no strength to defend himself uses his own body to shield the treasured books that preserve the flame of Chinese civilization from enemy blades! Tortured by the scenarios, players wail and accuse the owner of false advertising! But after gritting their teeth and completing the scenarios perfectly, they discover to their horror: Lost ancient prescriptions and priceless treasures that vanished into the river of history have appeared in the experience center’s display cases! The moment the news breaks, the world is in an uproar. Countless leading archaeologists and scholars arrive in the middle of the night! Millions of players, eyes red with tears, shout across the internet: “Boss Gu, please open a new scenario! We want to bring our ancestors home!”
