The morning light slanted through the gaps in the blackout curtains, spilling into the room.
Ding Xiao cleared away the dismantled packaging of the nutrient fluid. As he walked back to the game pod, his gaze inadvertently fell on the photos on the wall.
In the first photo, he still bore a somewhat naive smile, holding the championship trophy of "Star Fall Battlefield" with one hand, behind him were ten thousand guild members clad in battle armor, forming a steel torrent.
On the virtual battlefield, they raised their weapons, and the cheers seemingly penetrated through the photo.
In the corner of the photo, the golden embossed game ID "Breaking Ten Thousand Armies" remained clear, like a brand upon past glory.
The second photo was a group shot from the "Eternal Kingdom" era.
This, too, was a game within the Human Clan.
He stood on the commanding platform, behind him was a neatly arranged formation of ten thousand people, flags fluttering, iron armor like a forest.
