Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

After saying that, she glanced at Celine: "What happened just now was just a little joke. After all, Celine is just too cute, and I can't help but want to tease her."

"What do you mean, 'cute'... Sister Ali, don't talk nonsense..."

Such direct praise made Sirin blush a little. She quickly grabbed the mouse with her small hand and opened the official website of Gensokyo on the screen.

Ellie, meanwhile, looked at the comments and picked out a few to reply to.

"Relationship? Sirin and I are very good friends."

"We've known each other for a long time, and we're both considered members of Gensokyo."

"What's that old thief doing? As for Ah Yu, he's probably still working hard at the company right now. He's putting in a lot of effort for everyone's new game!"

"What's the new game? Oh dear, I can't tell you, Ayu will scold me~"

"..."

After chatting for a few minutes, Sirin opened the PV interface and quickly tugged at Ellie's arm.

"Ahem, everyone, please sit down on your little stools, we're about to start watching!"

With a smile, Xilin pressed the play button at the opportune moment, and their eyes turned serious.

On the dark screen, the Gensokyo logo first appeared, then gradually disappeared, and the entire screen quickly lit up.

A melodious and catchy tune quietly began to play.

"Ahem, just a heads-up, this is Eden's new song~"

As soon as Ellie finished speaking, a grand cheer erupted.

On the screen, a young man stands in the dueling arena, surrounded by tens of thousands of spectators who cheer wildly.

He held the duel disk in his hand, his smile confident and ostentatious.

He casually tossed a card onto the duel disk, then shouted, "Come forth, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!!"

A magnificent, silvery-white dragon emerged from the void, unleashing a deafening roar upon the world.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, destroy him! A devastating burst of white light!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon opened its mouth, and a dazzling silver sphere of light gathered in its mouth. Then, a surging silver-white torrent completely engulfed the entire opposite side.

Beep! Health reduced to zero!

The outcome is decided!

He excitedly raised his hand, announcing his victory to the audience.

[Good grief, starting with Blue-Eyes White Dragon?]

[Isn't this supposed to be a virtual game? How did it turn into a Yu-Gi-Oh! promotional video?]

[I don't understand, but it's the beginning anyway, let's keep watching.]

Soon, the scene shifted, and the boy, wearing a hat, walked out of the arena. He took out an AR glasses from his pocket, put them on, and quickly saw Pikachu standing on his shoulder.

He raised his hand, which was wearing a special glove, and smiled as he bumped fists with Pikachu.

"Pikachu, Pikachu~"

The camera zoomed out a bit, capturing the scrolling advertisements on the roadside screen.

Today, the Anti-Entropy Virtual Container has been officially launched. As a groundbreaking product, Anti-Entropy adheres to the principles of...

Upon hearing this, the boy visibly became excited, and even quickened his pace.

Soon, he returned home and happened to run into several workers wearing anti-entropy uniforms who were coming out of his house.

He smiled and waved to them, then quickly rushed back to his room. He stood at the door, his eyes wide, and in the center of the room, a streamlined black virtual pod lay quietly.

He walked over slowly and gently stroked the surface of the virtual pod.

drip.

The hatch of the virtual pod opened, as if extending an invitation to him.

Seeing this, he could no longer resist, took off his shoes and excitedly lay down inside. The screen then went black, and the background music began to rise.

Here comes the main topic!!!

【Urgent!!!】

[Is this what a virtual warehouse actually looks like?]

The comments kept scrolling, and the PV continued to play.

The screen lit up, and a figure resembling the boy but more cartoonish appeared on a bustling street.

His eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked around at the street, which was almost identical to the outside world. There were many people on the street with the same expression as him, all looking around with great curiosity.

Just then, a huge, prominent building appeared before the boy's eyes, with the Gensokyo logo standing out clearly.

He took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.

In an instant, the boy's figure vanished.

Before anyone could react, an excited cheer snapped everyone out of their daze.

"Pikachu~~~"

As soon as he opened his eyes, a cute yellow creature jumped into the boy's arms and rolled around with him on the grass.

At first, the boy was a little confused, but when he saw Pikachu nestled in his arms and saw that familiar look in its eyes, he instantly became excited and hugged Pikachu, laughing happily.

[Wow, wow, it really is Pokémon!!!]

[Oh my god, so does this mean we'll really be able to have close encounters with our Pokémon in virtual reality? No, I'm getting a little dizzy.]

Although I could almost foresee this from the beginning, I still couldn't help but get excited when I actually saw it.

I declare that the old thief is a god!!

Holy crap, this is...

The audience got excited a little too early. After playing with Pikachu for a while, the boy looked around curiously.

In this leisurely town, a winding river flows gently, and rows of wooden houses exude a relaxed atmosphere. Pokémon frolic happily on the lawn, and in this tranquil world, a tall building with a windmill stands on a distant hilltop.

The scene initially stunned the audience, but many Pokémon fans quickly realized what was happening, and their hands trembled at the thought.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from behind.

The boy turned his head, and a middle-aged man wearing a white coat with short, light brown hair and a kind expression walked up to him, smiling as he handed him a red and white Poké Ball.

Even those who weren't familiar with the plot widened their eyes in surprise.

Professor Oak!!!

Wait a minute, this town, these buildings, and those little houses on the hilltop—isn't this a real new town?!

[Huh?! No, not my buddy?! He came straight to Pallet Town?! Or did Professor Oak serve me the Puck?!]

So you just made a large map of the Kanto region?? Can we go on adventures on it like Ash?!

Please, please make an Alola version! I'll do anything to see Lillie, sob sob...

In the video, the boy's eyes widened as he hesitantly reached out to take the Poké Ball.

Soon, he and Pikachu started running, and the scene around them began to flash.

Familiar gyms, familiar characters, and of course, all sorts of Pokémon.

He climbed all the way up, defeated the gym, won the championship, and summoned Ho-Oh with the rainbow feather in his hand on the high mountain.

The sky was dyed red by the flames, and in the surging crimson flames, the faint phantom of a divine phoenix appeared.

The boy, holding his hat, looked fearlessly at the sky. Pikachu stood on his shoulder, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Go, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!!!"

"Pikachu~"

With a sudden leap, the little one soared into the air, golden arcs of lightning flashing across its adorable face. The blinding pillar of lightning instantly surged upwards, striking the sky from below.

At the same time, Phoenix flapped its wings vigorously and let out a clear bird cry in the air.

The flames, seemingly capable of engulfing the world, crashed down, intertwining with lightning in mid-air, and the deafening explosions turned the screen a golden-red hue.

[Wow, that old rascal really loves Pikachu! His battle power is way above Ash's Pikachu, haha.]

[Pikachu: I'm going to beat Ho-Oh, really?]

[I showed this to my Pikachu, and she said it was made up and told me not to believe it.]

The screen then went black, and just when players thought the PV was over, the scene switched to the boy's first-person perspective, and he slowly opened his eyes.

In the dim jungle, he found himself sitting in a swaying carriage, his hands bound, and in front of him was a dirty blond man just like him.

Ahead, a man dressed in medieval armor was piloting a carriage; they were clearly in a convoy of carriages.

The blond man noticed he was awake and immediately said, "Hey, you. You're finally awake."

[What? This is a new game?]

[So sudden??]

[What's this? Is the old thief making an RPG?]

Upon arriving in the town, a giant black dragon descended from the sky, crashing into the ground with a roar.

He couldn't dodge in time and fell to the ground, watching helplessly as black claws covered his entire vision, and the screen went black again.

Then the scene shifts again, and a weathered voice comes through: "Hey, rookie pilot, put on your helmet, we need to go down and take down those damn IMCs."

The boy paused for a moment, then picked up the helmet from the table and put it on.

In the pitch-black cabin, the dark blue goggles shone brightly as he, fully armed, leaped from mid-air.

On the chaotic battlefield, he was like the Grim Reaper, reaping the lives of his enemies with incredible speed and agility. Every bullet and every gadget he used could take the life of an enemy.

As the war intensified and the battlefield grew increasingly chaotic, he looked up at the sky.

A torrent of flames descended from the sky, landing beside him and causing the earth to tremble.

The ferocious Titan revealed its true form, and the boy quickly slid over and was grabbed by the Titan and pulled into the cockpit.

The scene before them transformed into a virtual screen. Just as the players were anticipating the giant creature to come to life, another Titan attacked, and the boy immediately drew his greatsword and slashed out.
