Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Zhang Xiang felt particularly at ease these past few days.

Since Shi Qiang was released from hibernation, he became Lin Xuan's new handover officer, which made his life much easier.

"Finally, I don't have to follow that madman all over the world anymore."

Zhang Xiang hummed a little tune as he walked into the restroom, only to see a familiar figure as soon as he entered.

Chang Weisi!

Zhang Xiang didn't know when Chang Weisi had arrived at the Red Coast Third Base; it might have been this morning, or it might have just arrived. So he simply walked up to him, wanting to strike up a conversation.

"General Chang Weisi, you actually came to the toilet yourself?"

Chang Weisi: ...

"Zhang Xiang, if you need anything from me next time, you can just tell me directly."

Zhang Xiang nodded repeatedly.

"Oh, okay, General, what brings you here all of a sudden? Is it from the PDC?"

"No, I'm just here to take care of some personal matters."

Chang Weisi didn't explain further to Zhang Xiang before turning and leaving.

……

"You want to see the first edition of Dark War?"

Wang Miao was taken aback when he heard Chang Weisi's words.

The first version of Dark Warfare was the one that was collectively rejected by the PDC. When Yun Tianming first created it, Wang Miao felt that it definitely wouldn't pass the review.

The escapist elements are too strong; the PDC would absolutely not agree to it.

As Wang Miao predicted, the first version was rejected outright.

He had originally planned to delete the first version from the database, but Lin Xuan kept emphasizing that he should keep it, saying it would be useful eventually, so Wang Miao didn't touch that data.

"Yes, could you adjust it for me?"

Chang Weisi arrived at the Hongan base this morning.

He has been busy with the Space Force's training missions these past few days, arranging for the third batch of future Space Force backbone personnel to go into hibernation, so he hasn't paid much attention to international politics.

Until yesterday, the adjutant brought him a box of gaming helmets.

"General, the higher-ups said that the fourth batch of reinforcements for future military and political backbone personnel needs to have an additional assessment criterion: they must pass the simulation training in this game."

Upon hearing this, Chang Weisi frowned.

"Isn't this ridiculous? How can you use games as a standard for military assessment? Issuing such an order from above is an insult to the military profession. If you could win battles just by playing games, I would have been playing games every day."

“But… this order was issued by higher-ups; they said it was the Fifth Wallface’s will.”

"Who?"

"The Fifth Wallfacer... Lin Xuan."

Chang Weisi was taken aback. He paused for two seconds before speaking.

"Using game simulation training as a standard for military assessment may be a wise choice. After all, none of us have experienced space warfare. Using games to recreate the real battlefield is a pretty good idea."

adjutant:?

Sichuan Opera face-changing, right?

You were just saying that someone insulted the military profession, how come you suddenly changed your tune so quickly?

Chang Weisi then retrieved a video recording of the Wallfacer hearing from a few days prior to learn more about how the game came about.

But soon, his attention was drawn to something else.

That was the first version of the Dark War that was unanimously rejected by the G7.

Looking at the more than two thousand star-class warships, the constantly exploding nuclear fireballs, and the ships trying to escape from the formation, Chang Weisi felt as if he had just realized something.

He pondered for a while before speaking.

"Is this first version of the game still available?"

The adjutant was stunned.

"General, the first version of the game was defined as escapism by the G7, so it is not allowed to be released on the market. You can go to Lin Xuan; maybe he has a backup."

This was the purpose of Chang Weisi's trip: he wanted to try out the game himself.

For some reason, Chang Weisi had a premonition that Lin Xuan's first version of the game was developed for him.

Wang Miao quickly retrieved the data for the first version of the game for Chang Weisi, re-uploaded it, and then handed the game helmet to Chang Weisi.

"Hey, you can play with it once you put it on."

Chang Weisi put on the gaming helmet and entered the game.

Star Wars: Dark Campaign

……

Thirteen hours later, Lin Xuan walked in from outside carrying a large bag of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

When he saw Wang Miao already asleep in the room, and Chang Weisi still engrossed in the game, he was taken aback.

How long has he been playing?

Wang Miao was awakened by Lin Xuan's voice, opened his eyes and glanced at the time.

"After 13 hours and 21 minutes, the computer showed that he had lost 4271 times."

Lin Xuan was stunned when she heard this.

Goodness, they've been playing for this long?

Chang Weisi, are you treating this place like an internet cafe where you can spend the whole night?

Wang Miao stretched and took the breakfast Lin Xuan had brought him.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm so sleepy. Lin Xuan, you stay here and keep watch, I'm going to sleep."

"Row."

Meanwhile, in the game.

Chang Weisi looked at the more than two thousand star-class warships in front of him, took a deep breath, and knew that with the speed of human technological development, one day, they would be able to bring the scenes in the game into reality.

I am honored to have lived to see this breathtaking scene.

This time, he chose to become the captain of the Fuxi.

The Fuxi was located on the far left of the second echelon. After the game started, Chang Weisi first ordered the ship to shift downwards, causing the entire ship to deviate from its original formation.

However, due to the small angle of deviation, all the fleets behind assumed that it was due to a misoperation that caused the ship to fail to follow the formation.

"Fuxi, please readjust your position."

The ship behind them, the Stone Sword, sent a position correction request to Chang Weisi's ship, but Chang Weisi directly ordered the communications officer to shut down the entire fleet's communications network.

"Fuxi spacecraft is suspected of being subjected to electromagnetic interference. Requesting to return to the space station for inspection and repair."

Chang Weisi contacted the headquarters directly using the communication frequency, bypassing the entire fleet's command system.

"approve."

Unsurprisingly, the headquarters commander approved Chang Weisi's request.

Subsequently, the entire fleet made way for the Fuxi to pass smoothly.

The Fuxi slowly turned and broke away from the fleet formation, heading towards the maintenance space station on the side.

However, just when everyone thought that the Fuxi was planning to make a short repair at the space station, Chang Weisi suddenly ordered the entire spacecraft to turn around in the opposite direction.

"Fuxi, this is headquarters. What are you doing? Please stop immediately!"

Before the station could finish speaking, suddenly, the matrix fleet behind them began to explode.

The Proton, which was in the first column of the fleet, suddenly exploded for some unknown reason, followed by the Antarctic and the Galileo.

One after another, nuclear fireballs rose into space, blooming into flowers of death in the endless starry sky.

"It's now!"

Chang Weisi cut off the communication with the headquarters and then slowly uttered a few words.

"The entire ship has entered deep-sea status."

"Fuxi, advance 4."

He had lost count of how many times he had repeated this process, and he had almost always failed.

Every time he tried to break away from the fleet, he was shot down by the ships behind him.

After failing about a thousand times, Chang Weisi finally figured out the method. He first deliberately cut off communication with the entire fleet, and then lied that he was being subjected to electromagnetic interference, attempting to leave the fleet and go to the space station for repairs.

He then repeated this process of suddenly escaping after breaking away from the fleet approximately two thousand times.

The distance was too great; before he could even turn around, the fleet realized he was trying to escape and opened fire on him.

They were too close, and their path was blocked by the warships ahead, leaving them no chance of escape.

After about four thousand attempts, he finally succeeded in entering the deep sea and accelerated the ship to 15% of the speed of light, escaping the Valley of Death before the first row of warships exploded!

Two words slowly appeared on the screen: Success!

Chang Weisi slowly took off his gaming helmet, and at that moment, he understood.

He understands everything!

Lin Xuan smiled and said as she saw Chang Weisi take off his helmet.

"So, how's the game I specially designed for you? Does it feel pretty good to play?"
