Genius Operator [Holographic]

[Complete]

The Divine Tree is a full-dive online game famed for its skill freedom, drawing attention from every walk of life and producing one top player after another.

Players can enter the dungeon [Temple of Heaven and Earth] at level 30. Its tricky mechanics and extremely high entry requirements make it a nightmare for players who get separated from their teams, and a veritable slaughterhouse for newcomers.

On beginner server 3145, the leader of a hastily assembled dungeon-clearing team casually picked up a novice healer at the dungeon entrance and invited him to join.

The newcomer seemed gentle and mild-mannered, clearly the kind of healer with a kind heart and healing hands.

That was, until they faced the boss. He nimbly wove across the crumbling ground, dodged its lethal attacks with pinpoint precision, and dealt an astonishing 40% of the team's damage.

His teammates: “...!”

“Boss, with moves like that, why play a healer? Pick a mage or a warrior and you'd be unstoppable!”

Zhou Sui opened the damage statistics and answered honestly, “Healers have low base damage, but a high speed bonus. It's a better fit for me.”

His teammates: “?”

Later, players discovered that

he used the healer's healing skills to remove crowd control;

he used the healer's escape skills for gap-closing dashes;

he used the healer's support skills to boost damage and unleash burst attacks...

That familiar skill-tree build was downright terrifying.

Players: Isn't that an assassin build?! Is this guy playing a healer like an assassin??!!

Zhou Sui, ID: [Zhou Er Fu Shi].

He was once a player at the Prodigy Training Camp, but was forced to retire from the camp under extraordinary circumstances at the height of his youth. Then he disappeared without a trace for three years.

When he returned to the public eye, his dazzling array of talents and impossible-to-replicate, god-tier plays took the world by storm.

He became famous throughout the gaming world as an assassin-style healer, attracting everyone's attention.

Later, on the Star Network forums:

New player asks: [Has anyone dug up Zhou Er Fu Shi's skill-tree build? It looks insanely good!]

Player A: Run. Don't copy it!

Player B: What? A healer-assassin build???

Player C: First, you have to be called Zhou Er Fu Shi. Second, you have to be Zhou Er Fu Shi.

Player D: And lastly, if you still want to dominate in PvE and PvP, you need a bound healer called [Yi Du Yin Yang].

PS:

1. Brutal DPS, genius-level plays, healer-assassin bottom [Zhou Er Fu Shi] x top-tier technical healer top [Yi Du Yin Yang]

2. A double-healer setup that dominates everywhere. My take on full-dive gaming, with elements inspired by real-world online games and original additions. Everything serves the story.

3. Lots of game content.

Coming soon: Saving the World Starts at the Psychiatric Hospital

In the year 2078 of the Blue Star calendar, vast numbers of alien species invaded.

The Fran Research Institute, humanity's last hope, fell. The top-level alien species [Buzhou Mountain] escaped. The special human weapon [Qiming] went missing, and Shen Jifeng, the First Commander of China's Special Operations Bureau, died on the front lines.

Vast quantities of top-secret research were destroyed, along with humanity's greatest achievements in resisting the alien species amid the smoke and fire of battle. From that point on, human civilization began to regress.

Three years later, a man in a vegetative state opened his eyes in a top-level psychiatric hospital in Country X.

Doctor: How are you feeling today?

Young man: A weapon claiming to be humanity's strongest has appeared in my head. It wants me to save the world.

Doctor: And what do you think about that?

The young man's face was pale, but his expression was gentle. “I'm here to collect your body, Doctor.”

The top-level psychiatric hospital housed people driven mad by failed evolution, all dreaming of conquering the world.

The madmen politely asked their newly awakened fellow patient what his ambitions were.

The young man looked listless and answered with an unhinged air, “Take over this psychiatric hospital.”

“Claim the territory.”

“Seize command of the Special Operations Bureau.”

“And finally, conquer the world.”

Not long after, a riot broke out at the top-level psychiatric hospital, and large numbers of madmen escaped, causing a worldwide sensation.

These out-of-control evolved people changed their appearances, cleaned up their act, and moved in perfect order, like human weapons fresh from special training.

Only later did humanity discover that...

After human civilization had regressed, they were the first special operations unit to strike at the vital points of higher-dimensional alien species, an undefeated force.

-*

The top-level alien species [Buzhou Mountain], imprisoned deep within the Fran Research Institute, awoke from its long slumber and discovered it was living inside a human's mind.

Unable to suppress its brutality, Buzhou Mountain tried to take over the human's body.

But every time it couldn't resist baring its fangs, the human knew exactly how to seize it by the throat.

The young man looked tired. Blood covered him from head to toe after he had put down another riot.

He subdued the unruly alien in his mind. “I've got a headache today. Behave yourself.”

Only later did the alien realize that being tamed was just a matter of choice.
