The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Of course not!

The moment that ugly face drew near, he had already unleashed his enchanted fists and feet upon it!

"Damn it, I wouldn't dare to make a move if you didn't look this ugly and scary!"

"Die!!"

After a flurry of punches and kicks, the female ghost was quickly reduced to ashes amidst her shrill screams.

"Pah! I've wanted to beat you up for ages!"

"Phew, that feels so much better now!"

"I feel so good!"

Lu Qianwei was about to leave the bathroom in a good mood when he realized that this game space had no sense of martial ethics.

The passageway that was originally meant for the bathroom suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

He inexplicably appeared in another place. In the darkness, heavy footsteps approached, growing ever closer, accompanied by a man's delirious babbling: "Kill without mercy... kill without mercy..."

A flash of cold light streaked across the room, and a blood-stained axe cleaved open the wooden door beside it, sending splinters flying.

Jack Torrance emerged from the shadows, axe in hand. His face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he grinned madly. Fresh blood dripped from the axe blade, and the wooden planks beneath his feet creaked with every step he took.

But seeing his face, Lu Qianwei couldn't help but laugh, because netizens were really good at making fun of him!

Thinking of the voiceovers in those bizarre and absurd videos, Lu Qianwei couldn't help but chuckle.

Jack, as programmed, didn't care about any of that. He roared and charged forward.

The axe, accompanied by a gust of wind, cleaved towards Lu Qianwei's head with such force that the air itself seemed to whistle; a single strike would be an instant kill.

Instead of backing down, Lu Qianwei took out the Holy Silver Exorcism Grenade, which he had acquired at a high price in advance, and pulled the trigger on Jack.

A grenade, glowing with golden light, flew out and struck Jack squarely in the chest. It exploded with a deafening roar, and scorching holy light instantly enveloped Jack's entire body. Before he could even scream, his body was blasted into pieces by the holy light, and even his axe turned to ashes.

"My lord, times have changed."

Lu Qianwei leisurely put away the grenade launcher, but the wall in front of him cracked open again, and more than a dozen bluish-gray little devils jumped out.

Games are not movies, after all. To increase the game's replayability, the monsters in it will naturally not only have the original cast, which is something Lu Qianwei did not expect.

However many monsters there are, they are no match for him, a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases.

Once you spend money on in-game purchases, the game is all about pure enjoyment!

"Kill them all!"

A series of explosions with light properties spread wildly as if they were free!

Which ghost could withstand such exhaustion? In the hotel, all the ghosts that stood in the way were dead!

In the end, after taking two wrong turns and turning onto a street, Lu Qianwei finally found the hall where the zombies were dancing.

The dance floor was packed with zombies dressed in formal attire from the last century.

The man stiffly linked his arm with his female companion's waist, while the woman leaned her shoulder to his, twirling in the air to a slow, leisurely rhythm.

Old-fashioned jazz music slowly flowed from a vintage gramophone in the corner, the whole scene and movie plot were exactly the same.

Lu Qianwei turned his head slightly and soon spotted the young Karen in a brightly colored dress.

Faced with a large group of dancing zombies, Lu Qianwei did not take out his weapon to clear the area this time.

Who knows if this will cause other unexpected problems for us?

He straightened his collar, seized the opportunity, leaped up, stepped on the shoulders of the zombies, and arrived in front of Karen.

Just like in the script, Lu Qianwei bowed slightly, extended his hand, and invited, "May I have this dance?"

Karen smiled and placed her hand in his palm. The music grew louder, and the two slowly twirled in the dance floor. The swirling light and shadow fell on them. Halliday, watching this scene from the shadows, slowly relaxed his tense shoulders and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

As the music ended, Karen gently withdrew her hand, her figure slowly fading and disappearing into the air.

At that moment, Halliday, dressed like Gandalf, emerged from the green mist.

He was surprised that a new player who had only registered for less than 12 hours would get his first key so quickly, especially since it was a puzzle game!

However, as an AI of Salidi, this thought only flashed through his mind for a brief second before he immediately produced a sapphire key that emitted a cold light from his hand.

He looked at Lu Qianwei, nodded, and handed him the key. "Congratulations, young man! You are the first person to obtain the key."

"As a reward for first place, I can answer some of your questions."

"Thanks, but no need!" Lu Qianwei took the keys and left without looking back, leaving Sharidi bewildered in the wind.

no?!

Is that correct?

You shouldn't get excited and want to ask me about clues about the other keys, or have any questions about Lidi, right?

Putting aside how bewildered Halliday was, the moment Lu Qianwei got his hands on the key, a name appeared for the first time on the server-wide clearance announcement that hadn't shown a name for years.

In an instant, the entire server erupted in uproar!

Players who received and saw the message were almost all stunned and couldn't believe it!

"Oh my god, this guy is amazing!" A Predator exclaimed, clutching his head as he looked at the leaderboard.

"Someone has passed through the New York circuit?!"

"Holy crap, countless people can't get through, and someone actually managed to do it?!"

"Idiot, didn't you see the warning above?!"

"That's not the key to the New York circuit at all!"

"hateful!"

"I never expected someone would get the first key first!"

"We must find him!"

"No matter the cost, we must get that clue to clear the game!"

"That's right! If we can't get first place, second place will do!"

The appearance of the first key undoubtedly set off another wave of excitement for Oasis Games.

Let's not even talk about the other hidden keys; the New York track is practically overflowing with players!

Chapter 221 Wade Watts

"Hey bro, where did you get your key?"

Please tell me!

"Hey bro, how much for the key? I'll pay you!"

……

"Wow, brother! You're so amazing! (?o?-?) Can we be friends? (＊／ω＼＊)?"

"Hey handsome, add me as a friend, there's a perk for you~"

……

"I'm Fatty Dajue, the guild leader of Red Guild. Brother, are you interested in joining the guild?"

Our guild...

"I'm the guild master of Sirius, brother. Name your price for the key's location, it'll only cost..."

This is the IOI Group...

Faced with a barrage of messages at a rate of 99+ per second, Lu Qianwei fumbled around for a long time before finally finding the blocking settings.

Fortunately, he had props to disguise and hide his name and identity, otherwise he would probably be surrounded by people by now.

Tsk, no, I think I'd better log off and lay low for a while.

Halliday took precautions to protect player privacy when creating the Oasis game. As long as players did not reveal their real names online, capitalists could not find their location through the game's IP.

The main character was found by someone using his name to locate him within another system or organization...

Lu Qianwei took off his virtual reality headset, while Bai Yuekui was still lying on the gaming chair next to him.

He decided to go out and buy some food.

As I pushed open the manor gate and turned the corner, I almost bumped into a high school student standing in the middle of the road.

The kid, wearing a VR headset that was so tight it made his forehead shine, was rapidly tapping his fingers in the air while muttering, "Dodge skills, dodge skills... Don't steal my BOSS!"

Every corner of the streets and alleys is filled with people wearing VR holographic headsets.

Walking onto the main street, it was even more dazzling. On the less than 500-meter-long sidewalk, there were nearly twenty people wearing helmets standing, leaning, or sitting crookedly.

Some shuffled along, their steps unsteady and wobbly; others stood motionless at the traffic light intersection, oblivious even when the green light came on.

The electric scooter delivering food was stuck in the drainage ditch at the intersection, its rider not even moving, and was still shouting into the air, "The first key is mine!"

Even a homeless man who had been lying on the roadside for several years had a VR headset with worn-out paint firmly fastened to his broken bench, his hands tracing patterns on his dirty blanket, so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice when someone dropped a coin into his bowl.

The benches, steps, and flower beds along the street were filled with players of all ages.

Students with childlike innocence, office workers in suits, and even elderly people with gray hair.

Without those helmets, this group of people standing on the street would look like a bunch of walking corpses.

Lu Qianwei shook his head and stopped looking. Anyway, he had seen this morbid world more than once or twice, and he was used to it.

Even shop owners along the street were not spared.

When I arrived at a convenience store on a street corner, the glass door was covered with a layer of dust and no one had cleaned it.

Lu Qianwei pushed open the door and went in, only to see the boss slumped on the tattered sofa behind the cashier, making strained noises in his throat, with snacks scattered all over the floor and no one cleaning them up.

Seeing this, he suddenly regretted not using the food from his spatial storage...

Embracing the spirit of "since we're already here," Lu Qianwei finally urged the chubby boss to knock on the cash register three more times.

The greasy middle-aged man suddenly jerked, and dazedly pushed the helmet up halfway.

His face was oily, his eyes were glazed over, and he was clearly annoyed at being interrupted from his game. He dawdled as he grabbed an ice-cold beer, a sandwich, and a sausage, and was completely distracted while getting his change.
