The Genius's Guide to Conquest [Virtual Reality]

[The next full-dive novel, Genius Player [Full Dive], is available for pre-order in my collection!] A genius, Su Mo has earned countless honors and basked in widespread acclaim. But his F-rank constitution keeps him from logging into the virtual StarNet, leaving him behind in the StarNet era. Su Mo thought he would spend his life going through the same quiet routine day after day until it ended. That is, until he discovered Tianhuan, a full-dive exploration MMORPG: a new kind of virtual game that completely removes physical restrictions and lets anyone enter a full-dive world freely. -* Less than three months after Tianhuan launched, the Heaven's Opening mission was completed, demons and monsters were unleashed across every server, countless players made their names in battle, and the Tianhuan rankings were reshuffled. But the style of the Demon King momo didn't quite fit this game world. “Need rescuing? That costs extra.” “It’s eleven. I need to sleep.” “Run a dungeon? Can we start at eight in the morning?” “I can’t tomorrow. I have a medical checkup.” Later, ten minutes before a faction war began, every player in the faction stood ready for battle. The deputy commander asked, “Brother Mo, should we ambush them first or go straight in?” There was a few seconds of silence over the headset before the boy answered in an even voice, “Let’s finish this quickly. I’m not staying up late.” -* When Yu Zhen first met Su Mo, the boy was standing outside a special medical ward, staring absentmindedly at the candy in his hand. When they met again, the boy was polite and courteous. Introduced by their elders, he called Yu Zhen “brother.” Su Mo was reserved and well-mannered, clever and quick-witted, always the picture of a good kid. He didn’t know that beneath his frail, sickly exterior, his youthful spirit and unyielding pride were impossible to conceal. Lazy and willful, he was exactly Yu Zhen’s type. P.S.: 1. Full-dive MMORPG, genius sickly bottom x male-god top. Long, sweet, and a strong couple. 2. The blurb has been polished, but all the content from the previous version has been retained. 3. Over 90% of the story takes place in the game. It includes many original settings, with some game mechanics inspired by existing online games. This is my take on full-dive gaming, mainly recreating traditional MMORPG gameplay in a full-dive game. Please don’t give me writing instructions. 4. Thanks to my friend Yanshu for the cover. Completed novels: The Beloved Little Phoenix, Max-Level Players Only Pursue Their Careers, The Pitiful One Has a Feel-Good Novel Script Coming soon: A Guide to Acting Obedient for Little Madmen, Genius Mechanic, Forced to Work in a Virtual World [Coming Soon 1: Genius Mechanic] In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, [sink], an S-rank mecha combat competitor, rose to prominence and set multiple records. At the height of his fame, he announced his retirement after winning the Grand Slam, leaving countless fans disappointed and regretful. That same year, the mecha mechanic for the KID club was stripped of their team medic qualifications for violating Alliance regulations. With no other choice, the club owner posted a recruitment notice through the Alliance, which immediately sparked widespread controversy. “What? They’re hiring? How much are they paying?” “Everyone knows KID is dirt poor. Don’t apply.” “There are so few mechanics, and you’re offering that salary? You must think we’re idiots.” Not long after, KID really did hire a mechanic. The mechanic wore a hat that obscured their face and loose long sleeves, beneath which the cold glint of a finely made mechanical hand could just be seen. They looked more like a pretty ornament than someone who could repair mechas. “His right hand is a prosthetic? A mechanical hand? You’ve got to be kidding. Can he even get the precision right?” “I doubt he can even lift an armor panel.” Two years later, the Mecha Alliance changed its rules, requiring club medics to accompany teams into battle. KID submitted its roster. A new ID appeared on the list: [sink]. Only then did the people of the Alliance realize that KID had not only hired a mechanic, but one with staggering combat ability. -* Ying Shenlin was reborn, returning to the age of eighteen, when his genes mutated. That year, he had just won the first Grand Slam in the Mecha Alliance. He had pursued his dreams with reckless abandon, but two years later, his mutated genes turned against him. Half his body was left disabled, and he spent the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair. During the most difficult years of his life, KID’s owner took him in, gave him a chance, taught him a new trade, and pulled him out of the mire. Given another chance, he turned down offers from several clubs and retired before his body deteriorated beyond repair. After getting a prosthetic, he went to KID to apply for a job as a mecha mechanic. To repay a debt, recover, and start over. He had once reached the summit. Even battered and broken, he would climb back to the top. [Coming Soon 2: Forced to Work in a Virtual World] Su Qi, a former Star Alliance general, is gravely injured and dies in an unexpected disaster. When he wakes, he discovers that he has become a player character in a full-dive world. Fortunately, the character’s owner rarely logs in, so Su Qi can struggle to survive in the full-dive world under their identity. But when he opens the storage room at home, he finds no weapons and no food. The place is packed with priceless premium outfits, top-tier skins, and flashy chat bubbles... Su Qi: “...” With his survival on the line, Su Qi has no choice but to join a hunting party and run a dungeon. As soon as they enter, the raid leader says, “Little sis, stay in the back. This boss is a piece of cake. Give your big brother a kiss, and I’ll take it down in five minutes.” Su Qi, mistaken for a man playing a female character because he’s dressed so beautifully: “No thanks.” Later, the party wipes, the boss goes berserk, and the raid leader, down to critical health, shields Su Qi. “Little sis, run! I’ll hold it off!” Not wanting to get involved, Su Qi has no choice but to pull out the weapon he just picked up. “Move aside. Just don’t get in my way.” -- The Imperial Marshal’s beast form is a dragon. He is cold, restrained, and strict with himself, but he has absolutely no resistance to rare treasures and beautiful things. To hide his unusual tastes, he plays a full-dive game with an appearance-only character. Whenever a new event launches, he spends lavishly on limited-time cosmetics to indulge his collector’s habit. One day, just after he logs in, he discovers that his usually empty inventory is crammed with all kinds of delicious food items, including “meat buns,” “mapo tofu,” and “fried chicken.” Just as he is about to throw them away, a timid voice suddenly speaks in his ear: Su Qi: “Hey, can we talk? Could you not throw away my food?” The Marshal: “?” Theme: Face life with optimism, live in the present, and work hard to make a life.
