Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

Professor Zhang stood on the podium, his gaze sweeping over the ten people in the audience.

He raised his hand and pressed a button on the remote control. The PPT on the screen flipped through a few more pages, which were all data charts and assessments of the strength of players from different countries.

He flipped through the pages one by one, speaking slowly but clearly in every sentence.

"This is the intelligence we've gathered over the past three months," Professor Zhang said, putting down the remote control and taking a sip of water from the glass on the table.

"What is certain at present is that there are players with considerable strength in each region. Although everyone is still exploring in their own game, no one can predict how the situation will develop."

He put down his water glass, placed his hands on the podium, and leaned forward slightly.

"You've all experienced the fact that you can develop real skills in games. The improvement in physical fitness and the increase in reaction speed are real things. What does it mean in real life for someone to reach your level? I don't need to elaborate."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

"But that's the problem. This isn't something we're the only ones with. Other countries have it too, and they're practicing it. If this continues, someone will eventually lose their ambition. This isn't alarmist; it's only a matter of time."

The conference room was quiet, with only the hum of the air conditioner running.

Professor Zhang turned around and brought up a new image on the screen.

The spliced ​​images of several different game interfaces have different styles, including ancient battlefields, streets and alleys during the Edo period, and medieval European castles.

"Based on our technical analysis, although the games released by this company have different backgrounds and eras, their underlying architectures are highly similar. If they are using the same server—"

He paused and looked at the people sitting below.

"Then, there's a high probability that these games will merge in the future. At that point, they won't be able to play their own games anymore; it could very well develop into a chaotic free-for-all."

He closed the PowerPoint presentation, and the screen went dark.

"You can think of this stage as a beginner's adaptation period. It gives you time to level up, collect equipment, and familiarize yourself with the controls. What will happen after this adaptation period? Nobody can say for sure. But one thing is certain—whoever gains the advantage will depend on how much capital they've accumulated during this time."

After Professor Zhang finished speaking, he took a step back and leaned against the edge of the podium.

"Opportunities and risks always coexist. No one can fully understand what this game can bring us yet. But one thing is clear—it can make people stronger, and it can make a country stronger. Therefore, the country will not stop this game; on the contrary, it will increase its investment. What we need to do is to seize as many resources as possible during this period to prepare for the future."

He looked at the ten people present and his tone softened.

"You are all top players. Reaching this point shows you have both skill and intelligence. I hope you can help the country gain a greater advantage in the game. This is not a demand, it's a request. As for what will happen in the future, none of us know, but it's never wrong to prepare for the worst."

The people sitting below nodded in agreement.

Wu Feng nodded in agreement.

He leaned back in his chair, going over in his mind what Professor Zhang had just said.

Game merge. Massive free-for-all. New player adaptation period.

These words, strung together, reminded him of the competitive games he used to play.

The first few months after the server opens are a peaceful development period. Once most people have reached a certain level and acquired better equipment, they start fighting for territory and engaging in guild wars.

But that's a game.

Now, the skills you develop in this "game" can be applied to real life.

That's not just about fighting and killing in a game.

As Professor Zhang said, "There will always be someone who can't suppress their ambition."

This was said euphemistically, but the meaning was very clear.

Whichever country gains the upper hand in the game will create thousands more "warriors" in real life with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. There will always be some ambitious individuals who want to cause trouble.

Wu Feng snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the table in front of him.

After attending this lesson, his understanding of this so-called game has indeed improved a lot.

He used to think it was just a virtual game that could enhance the body, at most with advanced technology.

He now realizes that the situation behind it is far more complex than he imagined.

As for the ultimate goal of this game, it is still unknown.

But at least for now, it can improve players' physical fitness, which makes it hard for many people to give up.

Professor Zhang just gave an example.

One player is disabled and uses a wheelchair, but in the game he can run and jump just like a normal person.

After practicing for several months, my body actually began to recover in real life. My legs, which had been atrophied, slowly regained sensation, and now I can walk with crutches.

This can only be described as a medical miracle.

A mysterious force they had no idea about was changing how the human body worked.

Wu Feng looked down at his hands and clenched his fist.

The internal energy within me was real, circulating exactly like in a game. This feeling couldn't be faked.

Professor Zhang is right. This game has brought so many benefits to humanity that it is impossible for people to give it up.

The entire country cannot afford to miss such an opportunity.

Therefore, even if this game is risky, the government will not stop it; on the contrary, it will increase its exploration efforts.

this is the truth.

Professor Zhang picked up his water glass, took another sip, put the glass down, and turned to look at the ten players present.

"I've told you pretty much everything," he said, his tone more relaxed than before.

"Now that you've joined the game strategy group, you can ask us any questions you encounter in the game, and we can help you solve them."

He paused, then added, "Of course, this isn't free. The country needs you to become stronger, and it also needs the experience and strategies you accumulate in the game. This experience can be used to help more soldiers and citizens in the country grow rapidly."

He looked at everyone, his gaze calm and composed.

"You can submit your strategies voluntarily, and the government will give you a reward after you submit them. You can set the specific price yourself, or you can discuss it with us and sell it to the government at a price you think is reasonable. We're not forcing you, and we won't give it to you for free."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Wu Feng nodded as well.

At least it shouldn't be enough to just make them hand over for free.

His backpack was piled high with martial arts manuals and equipment that he didn't need. He thought he could sort them out later, pick out some that he could sell, and exchange them for some real-world resources.

After Professor Zhang finished speaking, he straightened up and glanced at his watch.

"That's all for today." He looked at everyone. "Dismissed. If you have any questions later, you can call your assigned contact person directly, whether it's just a casual chat or discussing business. We won't touch your privacy, don't worry."

Everyone nodded and stood up, the sound of chairs being moved echoing in the conference hall.

Some people exchanged contact information, while others headed straight for the door.

Wu Feng also stood up and was about to walk towards the door.

"Wu Feng," Professor Zhang's voice came from the podium, "Wait a moment, let's talk some more."

Wu Feng paused, turned around and glanced at Professor Zhang.
