"Just as we humans are facing increasingly frequent interstellar challenges, if we still expend our energy on internal wars, I'm afraid we may survive this time but will not withstand the next!"
"According to the information we've received, in a few days a stealth virtual online game will be released. I believe everyone here already understands this project, so I won't elaborate. I only propose that all nations set aside their prejudices and move their conflicts into the virtual world."
"A game? Have you forgotten this is a formal meeting?"
"Yes. I made that suggestion with full seriousness. Agree or disagree—please take a position."
As a result, more than 70% of those present raised their hands in favor.
The Earth of today, humanity of today, could no longer endure another world war. Once war began, the worst outcome might even be human extinction.
After all, the lethality of modern weapons was terrifying to contemplate.
In the end, the nations agreed to the proposal.
"Gentlemen, I have another proposal—the Earth Alliance…"
——————————
Xu Dan did not know what was being discussed at that meeting, but even if he did, he would not care much.
These matters had little impact on him.
If events moved in a good direction, they would assist his plan. If they moved in a bad direction, they still would not damage it.
After a round of analysis by the Red Queen, the Chitauri hand-cannon technology had been improved.
In fact, after witnessing the Chitauri's attack power, the U.S. military had also attempted to copy the technology. But due to a lack of technical understanding, they eventually dismantled the weapon into parts and still couldn't replicate it within a few years.
Thus, the weapons taken from the Chitauri corpses on New York's streets became precious treasures of the United States.
Little did they know that what they regarded as treasure would soon be popularized across the entire world.
Before that, however, the virtual online game "PUBG" went live.
This long-awaited virtual online game finally opened on this day.
The first batch of distributed game helmets had already reached 100% real-name registration. That meant when the servers launched, there would be 100 million players.
A terrifying statistic. In history, no game had ever achieved such a scale.
Even blockbuster online games at their peak might only reach tens of millions.
It had to be said that Earthlings were more flexible in thought than Asgardians and far more enthusiastic about games.
As the initial test market, Asgard had received Xu Dan's online game through its warriors, but actual revenue had been low.
First, Asgard's population base was far smaller than Earth's.
Fortunately, it had only been a testing ground. If Asgard had truly been treated as a commercial market, he might have lost money.
This new virtual game also ran on the Cube Server. Though small in size, it was a fusion of advanced Earth and Asgard technology, and its performance far surpassed any other server on Earth.
When players entered after creating their characters, they could hardly contain their excitement.
There were no village elders, no rigid classes. Every player had high freedom of choice. Good at sniping? Buy a heavy sniper rifle and train to become a top sharpshooter. Good at charging? Focus on assault. Good at defense? Specialize accordingly.
But all that was secondary.
When players saw the wasteland-style virtual world, they understood the purpose of the game.
After all, an alien invasion had struck New York just three days earlier. Such an event naturally remained a hot topic.
Looking at the decaying buildings, a question formed in players' minds:
What had turned Earth into this state?
Another alien invasion?
This was indeed a question worth deep thought.
Before the game's release, players had only seen promotional material. Now they understood the deeper meaning: Antarctic Company wanted people to cherish the present. If a stronger alien civilization invaded someday, the real world might become like this game world.
Playing was thrilling—gunplay, micro-maneuvers, blasting giant monsters. Fun, yes—but only because it was a game. If such scenes happened in reality… no one wanted that.
In the virtual game world, three in-game days passed for every one day in reality.
For many mentally stressed office workers, this was a kind of "redemption."
Playing the game was like getting three days off within a single day.
Obtaining a game helmet felt like winning the lottery.
But how had developer Xu Dan known all this?
Now the world knew Xu Dan possessed extraordinary power—but could he predict the future?
Game development took enormous time. That was common knowledge among intelligent people, let alone for a virtual game. At this level, preparation likely required years in advance.
Thus, people ultimately saw it as coincidence. They could only say Xu Dan was truly extraordinary—not only an outstanding game developer, but also a behind-the-scenes hero and a thinker.
Using games to mirror reality and foster human unity.
With the Time Stone and Mind Stone already integrated, players did not know that enhancement began the moment they connected to the virtual game.
The Mind Stone strengthened the mind—spiritual power.
If someone trained marksmanship to an extreme level in the game, the Mind Stone would enhance that ability, transforming in-game knowledge into real skill.
One by one, players logged out after a day of monster hunting.
But from the moment they removed their helmets, they felt something different in their minds.
Some even subconsciously picked up mops and held them like weapons.
On that day, many people discovered they had gradually become skilled shooters. After three in-game days of practice, once back in reality, they felt an urge to aim at something.
