It was 7:50 p.m.

In a cramped rented room of only a dozen square meters in Shenzhen, Gao Chi had just finished showering and hadn't even dried his hair yet when he sat down in front of the computer wearing a vest.

On the narrow table were a computer, a microphone, and a bowl of freshly made pickled cabbage noodles.

Gao Chi delivers food during the day and does live streaming at night.

This is the path to wealth that he researched for more than half a year.

Earn a stable income by delivering food, and try your luck at financial freedom through live streaming.

Although he is not yet financially independent, he is becoming more and more financially independent when it comes to instant noodles each month. Gao Chi believes that the direction is definitely right.

His live stream room is called "Achi Zhunshida".

At first, there were only a dozen or so people in his live stream, half of whom were fellow delivery riders he had met while working as a food delivery driver. Later, he started leveraging the popularity of the game "Chaoxi" and checked in on the official comment section every day, and his followers actually started to grow gradually.

That highly upvoted comment was posted by him.

[On the ninety-ninth day, the spaceship still hasn't landed... At this rate, am I about to achieve immortality?]

To maintain the account's popularity, he has to appear on time every day.

Others are waiting for "Love Requires Talking to People" because they genuinely want to play it, while Gao Chi wants to play it but also has to figure out how to gain traffic.

He waited day and night for this game, and through his long wait, he grew his fanbase from single digits to several hundred.

Gao Chi was deeply moved by this.

If his customers could wait just as long, that would be great!

Tonight, he even finished his deliveries an hour early to come back and wait for "No War Tomorrow 1" to be released.

This game is incredibly popular right now.

Before it even started, many streamers, big and small, were already eyeing it. The only way for Gao Chi to snatch traffic from so many people was to prepare in advance.

Soon, it was 7:58 in the live stream, and he already had more than 200 viewers.

Gao Chi greeted the cheap webcam and skillfully opened the gaming platform.

The store page for "No War Tomorrow 1" is already prominently displayed on the homepage, with only a few dozen seconds left in the countdown.

【00:00:38】

Gao Chi stared at the numbers. He was originally in the mood to joke with the comments, but when there were only ten seconds left, he unconsciously straightened his back.

The viewers in the live stream started counting down.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

The mouse cursor stopped at the original location of the purchase button much earlier.

The moment the countdown reached zero, the gray button lit up.

[Buy Now: ¥68]

Gao Chi clicked the button without hesitation.

"purchase!"

"I delivered over thirty orders this afternoon, all for this moment!"

Payment completed.

The client downloaded very quickly, and soon the "Start Game" button on the screen lit up.

Gao Chi took a deep breath, grabbed the sauerkraut noodles next to him, and slurped up a big mouthful.

Double-click to run!

The screen went dark, and the deep sound of waves could be heard on the screen.

A few seconds later, a line of white text appeared.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Dunkirk, France

The time and place quickly disappeared.

There was no background introduction or lengthy opening animation; the screen suddenly shook violently as icy seawater crashed into our faces.

The game has officially begun.

Gao Chi subconsciously raised his head.

Holy crap!

The character in the game struggled to stand up from the shallow sea, but just as his eyes broke the surface, a wave pushed him back down.

The seawater submerged the lens, and the sound instantly became muffled.

The character's hands were flailing wildly in the water, and the stamina bar was rapidly decreasing.

Gao Chi had just entered the game and hadn't even figured out who he was yet, when he started frantically trying to find his way around.

"Get out! Get out of the water first!"

What's going on with this game? Why isn't it a traditional training camp or parachute jump from a plane to start? The moment Gao Chi opened his eyes, his character was half-submerged in cold, murky seawater!

He frantically manipulated the controls, finally managing to lift the character's head from the icy seawater.

Rapid, panting sounds came from behind.

Water droplets slowly slid down the screen, and the scene before my eyes finally became clear.

This scene looks so real!

Gao Chifei spun the mouse and looked around.

He was surrounded by densely packed people in front of him, behind him, and in all directions.

Occasionally, explosions could be heard in the distance, and each one would cause a slight commotion in the crowd.

Looking at the scene before him, Gao Chi forgot most of the jokes he had prepared.

"It's so lively!"

"So many people?"

He turned his character around, and saw that the other side of the beach was still crowded with soldiers.

These people didn't stand still and daze like background characters in a typical game.

Some people were scrambling for the item, some were taking off their soaked military boots to pour out the water, and several soldiers were working together to lift an unconscious wounded soldier onto a stretcher.

The live stream chat was quiet for a moment.

Holy crap! The number of people on screen at once, and all these different reactions!

[This doesn't feel like false advertising; the special effects are amazing!]

[These details are great, 68 definitely looks like a good deal! I'm going to buy it!]

My computer is starting to overheat.

Is this the same beach from the trailer?

Gao Chi glanced down at the character.

His soaked uniform clung to his body; there was no gun at his waist, only a soldier's ID, half a soggy piece of black bread, and a letter dampened by seawater in his pocket.

He opened his soldier's ID.

Name: Thomas Baker

[Unit: 12th British Expeditionary Force Infantry Brigade]

[Status: Hypothermia, mild dehydration, abrasions on the left leg]

Gao Chi's lips twitched.

"The standard starting three items, except for my survival, everything else is almost useless."

Just then, a piercing whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.

The soldiers on the beach all looked up at the same time.

Before Gao Chi could even see what was happening, someone in the crowd shouted:

"airplane!"

"Get down!"

My vision was suddenly distorted by a soldier next to me.

The next second, several fighter jets swept past at low altitude.

Stuka dive bomber!

Without the cover of the Royal Air Force, this beach became the German Luftwaffe's open-air playground!

Beep beep beep beep beep...

A long trail of dust rose directly from the sand.

Gao Chi tumbled and crawled on the beach.

Bullets struck the surrounding area, making a deep echo; water waves mixed with mud and sand splashed everywhere; the game character lay on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

Gao Chi also stood frozen in front of the computer, his hands still on the keyboard, muttering to himself.

"This...this is Dunkirk?"

"Now I'm starting to understand what it means to have nowhere to retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the game interface suddenly popped up.

[Current Battle Situation]

The armored forces of the British and French allies suffered heavy losses.

The main land retreat routes have been cut off by the German army.

Air superiority has been lost.

The port and beaches of Dunkirk are under continuous bombing.

The messages flashed by one by one, eventually converging into a task panel.

[Main Mission: Execute Operation Generator.]

Please cross the English Channel and return to the United Kingdom within seven days.
