Chapter 720: Chapter 440: Dawn Returns_2

“Dawn: Return”

Just like the beta testers described, it’s a world, a true world.

Years ago, Edge Technology successfully overcame technical challenges and developed an artificial intelligence with extreme computational power and used the game “Dawn” from over fifty years ago as a prototype to simulate all possible scenarios of that universe’s evolution.

The gameplay in “Dawn: Return” can start from any time and can have any main character, just like countless dimensions might exist in the real world. Different players in the Dawn Realm also have endless paths.

Su Mo chose to start the game in the summer of the Dawn 152nd Year.

Location, Hegemony Company Windy Plains Research Base 101.

Character, Hegemony Company Intermediate Blood Code Researcher, Dr. Chen.

Specific moment, Dr. Chen injecting Ancestral Blood Code into himself to prove research results.

The game begins.

The character controlled by Su Mo wakes up groggily, surrounded by dazzling red light and sharp alarm sounds.

“Boom—” The ceiling collapses, a mutated man falls in front of him, reaching out with twisted giant arms.

Su Mo’s controlled character staggered and hid under the table.

Soon, two intruders appeared, one black-haired man, one white-haired woman.

The masked white-haired woman killed the mutated man, while Su Mo’s character mistook her for an ally and was captured when he went up to greet her.

The black-haired man said to the white-haired woman, “Let’s go, ignore those old men locked up and let them fend for themselves.”

Su Mo controlled the character to speak in a low voice, “Hello, Nuobai.”

Nuobai snapped her head back to glare at him, her eyes full of shock behind the mask.

The black-haired man paused upon hearing this and looked at Nuobai, “You called, Nu…”

“Bang!” The response to the black-haired man was a bullet through his skull.

After the black-haired man died, the character controlled by Su Mo was pinned to the wall by Nuobai gripping his throat.

Nuobai took out her phone and pressed buttons, then pointed the screen at him:

[Why do you know my name?]

Outside the game, Su Mo watched Nuobai’s reaction, his inner being already filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and happiness.

He suppressed his inner turmoil, just like before, and smiled, speaking mysteriously, “Surprising, isn’t it? Seems like some intermediaries you worked with… secretly made unknown intelligence deals with Hegemony Company?”

What Su Mo played next followed exactly as it had when he crossed over.

This was truly identical.

Because of hyperthymesia, Su Mo doesn’t forget a single detail.

Over the years, whenever he had time, he would repeatedly recall the scenario from back then and rehearse again and again.

Now, he’s saying the words he said back then in the game, doing the deeds he did, with no deviation from his former self’s words or actions.

[Windy Plains Escape]

Su Mo convinced Nuobai using rhetoric about Blood Code Dissociation Syndrome, and together they left Hegemony Company’s territory, entering the Land of No Master.

At the Life Sequence Research Center, he found the mutant gene fusion tincture, and was saved by Nuobai when the side effects kicked in. Together they defeated the Razor Rapid Response Team and escaped alive.

[Entering New Moon City]

Su Mo found Haywood, bought a legal identity, went to the public commission center for his first mission, then caught a ride with the Countess and officially started as a mercenary.

Later, he met KK, found Future, recruited Dongdong, and established Edge Mercenary Corps, thus forming his first organization.

[Xinghai Cinema Hostage Incident]

As the king’s choice approaches, the Wolf King breaks through walls.

The Raven’s Nest goes mad, hostage-taking for a reversal of fate, and innocent children die outside high buildings.

Through Dress, Su Mo met Sikinkov, cleverly outwitting Muto Dongying’s whole family, saving the day with one person’s effort, making a name for himself.

[Best Newcomer Battle]

After becoming the best newcomer of the year, Edge and Sabertooth have a faceoff, with Ou Chenyu’s threat looming.

KK, previously unsung, stands tall for his big brother, infiltrating Sabertooth.

Ultimately, Su Mo utilized the power of the whole city to cut down Ou Chenyu, rising among the Seven Stars of New Moon.

[Saint Rivelan Vacation]

Leaders from Edge and Mo Xue meet unexpectedly; Su Mo and Shangguan Li intersect for the first time.

Dongdong, through conflict, meets a lifelong mentor and mother figure.

[Nemesis Virus Incident]

From fake goodwill commissions to unknowingly sinking deep.

From mutual antagonism and harm to that final rose in the rain.

The genius hacker girl ends her lifelong revenge, Qi Ling joins the group.

[Fools’ Association Incident]

The Silent Death God is written into the menu by superiors, and Edge faces its greatest crisis since establishment.

Chu Nanyi fulfills the leader’s mandate, kneeling to protect the team.

Dongdong, youthful and passionate, leaves the group seeking revenge, solo challenging and defeating the top star, achieving renown.

Finally, Su Mo and Qi Ling step into the game themselves, battling Zhao Yiming, as his long-lost companion Nuobai finally joins the team.

[Beacon Incident]

Endless beasts swarm like tides, New Moon City is on the brink of disaster.

The marauders from the Border Mire press forward, defending with their lives.

The well-dressed authorities remain inactive, casually sacrificing lives.

In a time of crisis, the old King of the Borderlands Gordon, in his twilight, ignites himself, completing redemption, and lighting the star of hope in people’s hearts.

[Heaven-Reaching Tower Incident]

Facing betrayal from trusted aides, the Wolf King sacrifices himself, tearing apart the false Pseudo-God’s facade with his claws.
