Su Xiaoli, Charm Gene

Our gaze turned back...

Back to the moment the players logged off, they all fell into a deep sleep, their consciousness returning to their own world through the network.

When Qi Lin exited the game, she checked her phone and found that only an hour and a half had passed. What she had just experienced in the game felt like nothing more than a dream.

But that dream had been so real.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Lin felt interested in gaming for the first time.

With countless thoughts swirling in her heart, Qi Lin turned on her computer, wanting to log into the game forums and look through the reviews and guides.

To her surprise, not long after she got online, a report about World Tree popped up.

Qi Lin clicked on it curiously.

Someone had already made a review so quickly. When she saw the creator, Qi Lin realized she had met her in the game before: Ali.

Qi Lin had previously seen her on some of her colleagues' feeds. They had told her that Ali was a fairly popular internet celebrity.

She had never expected that the person she met in the game had been Ali herself. With Ali's own popularity and the attention surrounding World Tree, the first fully immersive virtual reality game—

Ali's first review rapidly garnered countless reposts.

By the time Cheng Jue browsed the review through the Human Dao Jade Disc, it was already the second day in the game, though only four hours had passed in reality. In those brief four hours—

Ali's review had already surpassed five million views, with more than ten thousand comments.

"If I remember correctly, this Ali is Su Xiaoli." Cheng Jue thought for a moment, recalling Su Xiaoli's story from the depths of his memories. He sighed, not knowing what else to say.

Out of curiosity, Cheng Jue opened it with interest. I wonder what will become of the fairy warrior from Super God Academy.

"Hello, everyone. I'm streamer Ali. I'm sure you've all been flooded recently with news about World Tree, the virtual game jointly developed by the country and Elf Game Company. They say it even has unprecedented thought-acceleration technology."

"Ali is actually talking about games today!"

"Why isn't Ali dancing? Why play games? Unfollowed, unfollowed."

"What are you talking about upstairs? Ali is my wife too."

Watching the countless comments scroll past before him, Cheng Jue felt speechless. What wishful thinking. In reality, because of the Super Gene in Ali's body—

"Ordinary people can't even look directly at her. Otherwise, she releases an irresistible charm. Even regular livestreams over the internet affect other people."

"Her charm is too unusual. Ali's family has produced prostitutes and mistresses for generations. Because of the Super Gene in their bodies, they've never been able to obtain true human love."

Watching Ali speak eloquently in the video, Cheng Jue assumed she had also discovered that she had become an ordinary person in the game.

Since the video had been recorded in advance, Ali was not disturbed by the barrage of comments at all and continued speaking in an orderly manner.

Ali in the video flashed a proud smile. "Fortunately, I also received an official game qualification and became one of the five hundred closed beta players."

"This time, I'm not here as a gaming expert. With so many closed beta players, game guides will probably come out soon enough. This time, I'll talk about my initial experience with World Tree."

"Wow, what's going on? Ali's smile just now was different from usual."

"I feel like I saw the girl next door."

"The person upstairs clearly saw their first love when they were young."

"You're all wrong. It should be the wife next door."

"Neighbor Wong spotted +1."

"Same here +2."

"Same here +3."

"Same here +10086."

Watching the comments take another bizarre turn, Cheng Jue was once again speechless. Even separated by an entire world, Ali's charm is still this powerful. Is this the Charm Fairy of the Super God World?

Ali continued her explanation in the video. "I'm sure everyone watched the World Tree trailer some time ago. You were probably all shocked by the game, and I imagine many of you doubted whether the video was real or whether the game could truly achieve that."

"Here, Ali can state clearly... every scene in the video was real. Every word was true."

Perhaps even Ali herself felt that words were inadequate. In the video, she performed a movement that would have been difficult even for a real-world gymnast.

She then flowed through an entire gymnastics routine as smoothly as running water.

Ali in the video was already LV5. In reality, that made her about half a special forces soldier.

Cheng Jue swept his eyes over the comments, and sure enough, they were all saying, "Do another one."

"Good heavens. Even a gymnastics routine unconsciously revealed such innate seductive grace." Cheng Jue could roughly guess how Su Xiaoli's ancestors had survived during chaotic times. What could he say... sigh!

For more than a minute, Ali in the video displayed her freakish physical abilities and even used the basic skills available during the mage apprentice stage.

"I'm sure everyone has seen it now. World Tree is a masterpiece, a groundbreaking masterpiece. Without question, a cross-generational masterpiece."

"I don't know what technology the developers and the country used, but after entering the game, my first feeling was realism. Extreme realism. Don't even talk about graphics."

"That would simply be an insult. World Tree's visuals can no longer be described as high quality. Just as the trailer said, they are incredibly real and substantial."

"It achieves true immersion! And not only that, every background in the game is exquisitely crafted. Any random screenshot could be used as wallpaper."

"I guessed that some of you like scenery, so I took some screenshots too."

Screenshot...

Screenshot...

Screenshot...

"Holy shit, that's the World Tree. Just looking at the picture feels breathtaking."

"That's the female Elf from the trailer. She's so beautiful, even prettier than she was in the trailer."

"Besides," Ali continued, "World Tree's gravity engine and five-sense simulation are also extremely realistic, without the slightest sense of disconnect. If I didn't clearly remember the login screen and the system interface prompts, I would have thought I'd transmigrated into another world."

"The game's class backgrounds are divided among seven nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya."

"Each nation has different classes and cultures. According to the system notification from a while ago, and what I've learned recently, NPCs from Mondstadt will be arriving. Sometimes, I even suspect the developers based the game on seven real-world nations."

"Based on Ali's investigation, Mondstadt seems very much like a European country. Unfortunately, Ali doesn't know much about that. The other place Ali learned about was Liyue, which I think resembles our Chinese civilization."

"Otherwise, look at Liyue's classes: warriors and Qi Refiners. Both have a strong Chinese style."
