The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

"The enduring source code is the key to the evolution of data life into three dimensions, but it is also their virus."

As Bai Yuekui put on the motion-sensing equipment according to the instructions, he explained, "Simply put, we enter the virtual world through the dimensional reduction device."

The underlying logic of Oasis lacks permanent source code support; we ourselves are that unique virus, a life form with more than 2.1 dimensions.

"Good heavens!" Lu Qianwei suddenly realized.

Despite being built using a game engine, the Oasis World boasts a complete XYZ three-axis coordinate system, capable of presenting a three-dimensional spatial scene with full dimensions, allowing all things to walk, build, and fight.

However, based on the essential definition of its hierarchical structure, it still belongs to a closed-loop two-dimensional information plane.

Everything here—mountains and rivers, creatures and mechs, even nuclear-level ultimate weapons—is not a real entity, but a digital projection built from source code.

All physical rules, damage assessments, banning mechanisms, and data permissions are firmly locked within the program framework from the very beginning. They are completely controllable, tamperable, and rewritable, making it a thoroughly flattened data cage.

The seemingly insignificant 0.1-dimensional increase is actually an absolute dimensional barrier that separates the virtual from the real, and the confinement from the transcendence.

This is not a simple numerical difference, but a complete qualitative change in the level of life and the essence of existence.

Once an entity enters a sub-higher dimension of 2.1 or higher, it gains the opportunity to break free from the data plane.

For example, the cultivation of immortality, or the spiritual energy system that Lu Qianwei and others are currently cultivating, is moving towards 3.1 dimensions or higher, and eventually breaking through to four dimensions or even higher.

Of course, a 0.1-dimensional difference alone is not enough to completely protect against data damage attacks within the Oasis.

The various offensives that are based on dimensional data can still be applied to the virtual avatars on the body surface.

The attack detection function works correctly, and physical injuries such as bumps, burns, and lacerations are real.

However, due to the suppression of dimensional level, the power of all damage is greatly reduced, and the actual destructive force is greatly discounted.

As the power of the data lifeforms increases, their opponents will naturally become stronger in their home world, causing even greater impact.

However, even if they reach 2.999..., which is infinitely close to three dimensions.

Before truly breaking through to three dimensions, the Heavenly Dao (administrator, programmer) of this world can use its massive data computing power to erase it by killing 1000 enemies while losing 800 of its own.

"Therefore, entering the Oasis world will not be very dangerous for us."

Our near-three-dimensional power allows us to do whatever we want inside.

Bai Yuekui was already sitting in the motion-sensing pod as he spoke.

"As for the matter of paralyzing the entire game world in order to eliminate the two of us viruses..."

I think the capital that's been nurtured by games won't do that; they'll most likely choose to ignore it.

“Of course…” Bai Yuekui put the helmet on his head, and as he was about to turn it on and off, the corners of his mouth naturally pursed up. “Out of respect for the game, I would naturally not do that.”

Lu Qianwei shrugged, probably already knowing what she was going to do with this dimensional device.

He found a comfortable position to lie down and started the game, and a stench of capitalism wafted directly onto his face.

Okay~

Upon entering the initial character creation and selection phase of the game, various races, elves, orcs, cyborgs, alien races, and other species appeared before his eyes with clear price tags.

There are roles ranging from hundreds to tens of millions, and you can even customize your own.

If no choice is made, then only three basic human types can be selected.

"I have enough capital to fuck!"

Seeing that even adjusting one's eyebrows, eye shape, posture, and clothing costs money... Lu Qianwei was speechless.

Skipping these tedious processes, Lu Qianwei gave himself the name "Game Terminator" and directly entered the game in human form.

All this fancy stuff is useless. He came to the Oasis purely to get the key and then gain access.

Upon arriving at the starting village, the game system, as usual, popped up a lengthy tutorial window, which Lu Qianwei skipped without even looking at it.

The Oasis game world itself is very large, and the starting location for the two players is randomized.

Bai Yuekui was born in a remote, desolate star system, and he landed in a remote, interstellar border village for beginners.

The two planets are separated by several interstellar routes and belong to completely different star sectors.

If an ordinary player wanted to leave the starting village, they would either grind monsters to level up and collect gold coins, or run errands for others and collect resources to earn their first pot of gold.

After that, you have to do a lot of tedious things and make sure you don't get killed before you're qualified to save up enough for a ticket to leave the newbie village.

But it's a game of capital, after all.

There are certainly faster shortcuts.

Lu Qianwei entered his bank card number and, without thinking, immediately deposited one billion yuan into the account!

Hehe, now I have money.

Lu Qianwei bought cars along the way and changed vehicles to reach the interstellar dock.

Then, amidst the shocked, envious, and jealous gazes of countless people, he purchased a top-of-the-line, luxurious special interstellar ship from the Novice Star.

With the ship's paperwork and interstellar passage permissions completed in one click, Lu Qianwei immediately started the engine, ignited the flames, and took off, heading towards the central plaza at the heart of the oasis.

Not long after the warship entered space, a group of interstellar pirates immediately interfered before he could initiate a jump, forcibly stopping him.

Hehehe, the saying "don't flaunt your wealth" applies to the gaming world as well.

Lu Qianwei's extravagant spending of money to buy such a luxurious spaceship in the newbie village is simply outstanding.

It was obviously impossible not to be targeted by the bandits entrenched near the newbie star.

Seven plundering warships, their paintwork faded and their cannons fully loaded, silently surrounded Lu Qianwei, forming a lock-on formation that blocked all of his advance, retreat, and jump routes, leaving no room for escape.

The public communication channel was forcibly connected, and the first thing that appeared on the screen was an ugly alien face.

Immediately afterwards, a rough and domineering male voice suddenly rang out, "Hehehe... Kid, if you don't want to turn into cosmic dust, you'd better shut down the engine and lock the weapon system!"

"If you cooperate well... hehe, we guarantee you'll only need a small safety toll."

If an ordinary player were surrounded and their signal was blocked, there would obviously be no chance of turning the tide.

Unfortunately, they don't understand the world of whales (high-spending players), nor do they understand that luxury starships have more efficient encrypted communication and anti-jamming systems.

While the pirate captain was still rambling on, Lu Qianwei had already located several nearby mercenary fleets through the interstellar network.

There's not much to say, a huge bounty has been paid out...

For the safety of their sugar daddy, they arrived as fast as they could!

They arrived at the battlefield in just a few dozen seconds and immediately surrounded all the pirate ships.

Without further ado, the mercenary fleet, its eyes bloodshot, opened fire, delivering precise strikes and pinpoint destruction.

Before long, under the overwhelming firepower of the professional, top-notch interstellar mercenaries, this gang of bandits who relied on their numbers to bully newbies didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

The hull exploded, the shields collapsed, and the cannon fire extinguished; the seven raiding warships were successively blasted to pieces and disintegrated.

The arrogant bandit leader, who had been so domineering just moments before, suddenly turned his boastful words on the communication channel into terrified screams, and finally fell completely silent.

The entire operation took less than half a minute. The bandit gang that had been rampaging through the newbie star field was completely wiped out, leaving them with nothing but money. As for whether they would actually perform aerial acrobatics in real life...

Lu Qianwei didn't know, and was too lazy to understand.

They should have been aware of the consequences when they committed the robbery.

"Hehehe, may you have a safe journey, boss!"

"Here's my contact information. If you need anything, just call me. I promise I'll be there immediately!" the mercenary leader said eagerly, trying to sell his services.

Damn, such a huge fat sheep... uh, no, what sugar daddy would want to miss out?!

Spending hundreds of thousands to kill such low-level pirates is clearly foolish and wasteful.

If you stick close to a powerful figure, you'll have plenty of opportunities to make money for free in the future.

After some twists and turns, Lu Qianwei finally arrived at the Oasis Central Plaza.

Through offline communication, he quickly located Bai Yuekui's location.

Bai Yuekui

"Emm~" Lu Qianwei stared at the other person's slightly taller figure, long legs, and chest...

I think it's better not to ask these pointless questions and risk getting myself into trouble.

"Yue Kui, it's one thing that your appearance hasn't changed, but why didn't you even change your name?"

"No need, it's too much trouble."

"Fine~_~!" Lu Qianwei shrugged, whatever.

New York racing, the first stage of getting the keys, is open for registration anytime of the day.

Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned player, as long as you register, you can be teleported into the New York Motor Racing circuit at any time.

The competition starts automatically and periodically, with no limit on the number of attempts or time. You can queue up to enter anytime you want to challenge.

As long as you have enough money, you can play however you want.

Having figured out the general situation, Bai Yuekui immediately spent a large sum of money to buy a very luxurious and high-end vehicle modification workshop.

Regarding Lu Qianwei's proposed solution, Bai Yuekui stated that he would drive to the finish line honorably.

She rarely gets to play games, and she didn't want it to end so easily.

"No game is unbeatable!"

Looking at the racing game that perfectly matched the physics engine, Bai Yuekui had already figured out a simple and straightforward way to beat it.

"Track designers have long understood the critical point of car performance."

The game mechanics are a bit of a bottleneck; no matter how players modify their cars, the car's performance is limited by the physics engine's constraints.

Lu Qianwei raised an eyebrow: "What are your plans?"

"Of course, we should break away from the conventional racing template and use technology to achieve a crushing victory!" Bai Yuekui smiled faintly.

"So... all we need to do is build a car that surpasses the speed of the existing ones, and we'll have a chance to win this race."

Chapter 219 New York Circuit

Creating a new type of car to achieve a disruptive impact is no easy task, so Lu Qianwei naturally wouldn't choose to stay at the car modification shop and wait for Bai Yuekui.

After figuring out the registration rules for the race, Lu Qianwei chose a race at noon and then went to pick out his car.
