On New Year's Day, January 1, 2025, an extraordinary day, the misty drizzle fell overnight, and Shanghai in the early morning looked exceptionally clear and clean. The severe cold of the Yangtze River Delta came a little later, but the cold air with the rain made people feel bitterly cold.

In such a humid and cold morning, the bustling city has become quieter than ever. Maybe it's special today, and people are still intoxicated with it. Late last night, hundreds of millions of people should have been waiting for it, and then staying up all night because a new era had arrived......

In the famous community of Shanghai, a young man wearing slippers and shorts and shorts, with his hands in his trouser pockets, walked leisurely outside the community, his unkempt hair and hazy eyes as if he had not woken up. Wearing so little on such a cold day, what kind of personality is he making a fuss, making people tremble for him.

The security guard at the gate of the community didn't show much surprise when he saw him, he was no longer surprised, and nodded slightly to him to say hello.

"Brother Wang, go out for breakfast?" The young security guard seemed to know him well.

"Yes, you're on duty today, have you eaten, do you want me to bring some to you."

The young security guard smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, Lao Zhang has already gone to buy it." ”

"That's okay, then I'll go, I drool at the thought of Lao Yangtou's soup dumplings!" The young man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Brother Wang, are you going to Lao Yang's shop to eat soup dumplings?"

"Yes!"

"Then you don't have a mouth today, Lao Zhang also went just now, the store was not opened, it is estimated that he entered the "Fantasy Dimension Space" last night and did not come out." The young security guard said depressedly, his depressed expression, I don't know if he was depressed because he didn't fill the soup packets, or because he couldn't enter the "Fantasy Dimensional Space" at work.

It was only at this time that young people remembered that today was an extraordinary day, because at 0:00 a.m. today, the United Nations opened the "Fantasy Dimension", which is a virtual and real world, where the territory is vast and mysterious and beautiful, and there are full of magic and miracles. These are all described in the promotional advertisements, although there is no official comprehensive and specific introduction, but this cross-era technology, people are shocked and highly concerned.

"Fantasy Dimension Space", also known as "Fantasy World", is a virtual dimension space jointly created by the United Nations with super technology, and the United Nations commits this virtual world to bring many benefits to human living space, quality of life, human health, etc. The most shocking thing is that the currency in "Fantasy World" is pegged to real-world gold, which makes businessmen all over the world smell unusual business opportunities.

To enter the "Fantasy World", you need to use the "Space Conversion Chamber" to connect to the "Skynet", this "Space Conversion Chamber" is very much like a milky white alloy capsule, you can open it and lie in it. This "space conversion chamber" is not electrically driven, its driving energy comes from the "nuclear crystal", which is shaped like a crystal and the size of a blood-red thumb.

The "space conversion warehouse" can be collected free of charge at the service center with a personal ID card, but the "nuclear crystal" needs to be purchased, a piece of "nuclear crystal" needs 1,000 yuan, the energy index is 720 energized, and the normal usable time is 720 hours, which can be used uninterrupted for almost a month.

The young man didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about this, so he nodded to the young security guard and said "Got it" and continued to walk outside.

The young man's name is Wang Kai, 28 years old this year, the former captain of the Chinese special combat team "Dragon Teeth", he likes martial arts since he was a child, and he entered the army at the age of 20 without graduating from junior college. He will be discharged from the army in August 2024, why the discharge situation is unknown, and then he was recommended by the leaders of the army to be a bodyguard for Zeng Baohua, a big businessman in Shanghai, and then he couldn't get used to Zeng Baohua's son Fu Second Generation's style and left in December, and is currently unemployed and temporarily living in his sister's house.

Why Wang Kai is not interested in this "Fantasy World", in fact, this is the vigilance of his own profession telling him that this thing is strange, and in the case of uncontrollable unknown dangers, the best way to deal with it is to wait and see what happens.

Because Wang Kai used to be a cutting-edge special combat soldier, he knew much more information than ordinary people. Let's just say that in the past five years, the world has undergone tremendous changes, and the progress of science and technology has made a terrifying leap, and it has exploded in all aspects.

For example, the desert that was once desolate can now be used to grow high-tech crops, and the desert has become a golden oasis. Highly intelligent machines have reached the level of "low-thinking" artificial intelligence, which is equivalent to the intelligence of a human child of four or five years old. Aerospace science and technology is even more terrifying, the most cross-era technology is the advent of the "universal gravity machine" and "low sub-light engine", which has brought a leap to human exploration of the universe, with the "universal gravitational machine" human beings can stay in space for a long time, without being affected by gravity, but the "low sub-light engine" can make the spacecraft fly at a speed of 18 million kilometers per hour, up to 300,000 kilometers per minute, which is one-sixtieth of the speed of light.

In just five years, these technologies have been fully developed. Behind this development is mysterious and weird, there are many people who speculate that it is with the help of alien civilizations, and some people say that the remains of prehistoric civilizations have been discovered, and there are a lot of prehistoric scientific and technological materials in them. People all over the world have different opinions, but the United Nations has never gone to Chen Qing, and because of the rapid development of science and technology, which has brought unprecedented material satisfaction to mankind, not many people have gone to the bottom of it.

But Wang Kai remained vigilant against these sudden changes, because he believed in the truth that "the extreme of things is the opposite". He also knew some bad information when he was in the army, some extreme countries are developing "biochemical warriors", injecting biochemical agents into the human body, making changes in the structure and genes of the human body, and finally reaching the practice of improving combat effectiveness, but the mortality rate is very high, if he succeeds in becoming a "biochemical warrior" after the catastrophe does not die, then his strength can reach about 6,000 catties, and the strength of ordinary people is only two or three hundred catties, think about what a terrifying thing this is.

Wang Kai grew up in the countryside, his hometown is a remote mountain village in Yunnan Province "Liao Village", when he was a child, he often ran to the mountain next to Liao Village to play, often saw an old Taoist boxing, felt interesting and pestered him to teach, this teaching is ten years, Wang Kai is practicing the inner boxing method, focusing on refining qi and cultivating the body. Later, because he didn't like to study, he was only admitted to an ordinary university, and it happened that the army came to the school to recruit soldiers, so he went without thinking too much. In the army, he learned a lot of fighting methods, and when he was in the best condition, his instantaneous explosive power was only about 900 catties. The world men's weightlifting record is 263 kilograms, or 526 kilograms, but weightlifters have to lift the barbell above their heads, so they need to have twice as much strength as their own barbell.

Therefore, Wang Kai is not as enthusiastic about this extraordinary day as others, and he is still vigilant.
